It may not be "too late" to have something ready for the fall but the "concern" is that there aren't many indications that they put much heart/effort into that album, even less than for ABB where Mick and Keith at least spent some time together at Mick's Fourchette mansion. It seems to be very much in line with what they did for the two Grrrr...songs and at the end of the day it didn't work out too bad, so why not.
Without other writers (don't think anyone wants that) or musicians (I for one miss all the nice "outside" parts from B2B ) spending months on it isn't going to change much anyway. What's a bit sad is that they wouldn't want their current material to benefit from outside input to get the best out of it, something that Macca did (mostly) successfully for "New". It's not like they can't afford it, so why ? Too "cheap", too much of a hassle, still like to think they can wing it like in Villefranche ?
PS - yes, sorry I did mean Xeyed.

Those pics were most likely recording / guesting on Cheryl Crows next album. Still ... I'm certain Keith hasn't forgotten how to play those instruments.
However keep in mind.. Ronnie wasn't present in the writing process nearly as much during the making of A Bigger Bang (just on overdubs playing his parts was the better part of his gig on that album). However A Bigger Bang actually has a decent amount of funk .. It is sort of a Rock, >>Funk (and blues) based album.
Ronnie did not play at all on nearly half of the ABB album. Maybe he was in rehab at that time to be fit for the tour at least?
Dangerous Beauty, Sweet Neocon, Driving Too Fast, Rain Fall Down
All of the above are actually funk based .. though most of the above may on the surface sound or seem very 'rock' oriented.. their base and chords is actually quite funk.
Even 'Look What The Cat Dragged In' and 'Infamy' have a 'slight' .. (in spots) Funk groove to them.
It is a bit of an overlooked fact but A Bigger Bang had a nice share of funk incorporated into the album when you stop and think about it.

Why? Keith and Ronnie both lost their bass mojo a LONG time ago. Bass is now the least appealing part of the Rolling Stones sound, with piano right behind.

So, if/when we get an album, if it's around the time of Vegas, do you reckon they'll play new tunes, or stick to playing a Greatest "greatest hits show"?

When they are ready to release it they will let us know, dont worry.
And within four hours after release it will be ripped to shreds by the board´s majority. I expect 200 pages of complaints

And if it sux, HMS will declare it The Stones second best album, behind their true masterpiece, Dirty Work. Much better than the "overrated" Exile On Main Street that had all of that "haughty" guitar playing from that "haughty" Mick Taylor, whose "haughtiness" ruined that album with so much "haughty" playing. "Haughty".

Yes, and he was in Cuba back in 2015! Remeber all that hubbub? Wouldn't surprise me if he's planning some U.S. dates.
