Judging by interviews Keith still stays in touch with Bill and since Keith got over serious drugs they have always got on well in my opinion. Mick and Bill not so much, roundabout WW3 Bill was making sounds in the press that the Stones could replace Mick to tour, not sure Mick was ever the same with Bill after that.
As for Mick and Keith's relationship these days it's not even a working one as we can see with this album. Personally i think Mick finds it hard to be in the same room as Keith. Rehearsal is the only time they have to tolerate each other. Sorry to be so negative but all that show of brotherhood on stage is for the cameras.
I'm pretty sure this is wrong. They were working together in the studio, just the two of them and Steve Jordan, last year.
The glass is half full, i like that DP, but for an album to take all these years to try and finish suggest communication problems between them. We also get feed back that Mick goes in and does a bit, then Keith , but not very often together. Plus Steve Jordan is Keith's man, if Keith is working with Steve Jordan on a Stones album that could be because of frustration if Mick is avoiding working with Keith. It's obvious things are at an all time low for a gap of 15 years between Stones albums.
He he, most of this is pure speculation (darn, why do the Stones run their operations like Fort Knox!).
It could be as simple as this: They really want their last album to be great, but they're all struggling to come up with material that's good enough, and they realise this. It doesn't have to be anyone's fault
I don't think Keith had what you'd call a rough childhood.Quote

Mick and Brian were firmly middle-class, I’d say. Keith grew-up on a notoriously rough - at least, it is now - housing estate called Temple Hill. Charlie and Ronnie are from - seemingly - working-class backgrounds, too.

they are a very special group of human beings/artists who magically came together, and became something much greater than their individual parts. They all enhanced each other's lives. They were the ones who rode around, crammed into Stu's unheated van. Those five frail Englishmen faced real pressure from society. They hung close. Just because it didn't last forever doesn't mean they aren't fond of each other.
There was a story in the newspapers in 1987 that because Mick was going to tour solo he would be replaced for a Stones tour by Terence Trent D’ArbySome news reports attributed it maybe to comments by Bill.Quote

Quite possibly the most insightful passage ever posted on IORR.

I feel your pain Gaslightstreet, i try to humour him, even try to kill him with kindness but he keeps on trolling. What's disappointing is that he lies and tries to get people banned with his fake BS. It's one thing to name call and attack people's point of view, but what he doesn't know he makes up. Pleased you called him out.

It's all about this childish Keith/Mick mudfight and you too are not exactly innocent in this case...

Guilty, but i don't exist on here to get one person banned
well then I have to re-phrase. Obviously Keith has drive; he's given us a lifetime of drive. I think what I'm trying to convey, and it is by no means a criticism, is that I get the feeling that Keith is ready to settle down. That of all 4, he could easily be the first one to privately be ready to call it.Quote

What about the notion that there really isn't all that much 'wrong' in their relationship? I think we, as fans, like to cling to that idea because ultimately it is the more hopeful scenario: that they are at loggerheads, and that from this kind of place there is the possibility of a solution, a reconciliation. But often a couple a married couple that has been together for many years, and is at peace with each other, choose to sleep in different rooms. And lead almost separate lives. yet their marriage is strong. Time is a motherf8cker.
And IMO the fabled album is not stalled because of some rift between those two. they are just content and settled. No matter what Keith says in interviews; it is he who is done, and slow. Mick and Ron still have a certain amount of drive, and restlessness, but probably not so much Stones related. It is very easy to believe Keith and his Keith-isms. That he can't wait to let the tigers out again etc; and that it is Brenda holding them all back. Look how long it took for his last solo album to complete; and how homespun and sleepy it is.
And re. Bill, I think most of his bitterness was purely financial. I actually always noted that Bill spoke very highly of Mick as a performer and leader. I liked the way he would say that they had the best one of them all.
PALACE, I've always enjoyed your posts but you are way off the mark here saying Keith has no drive, Keith had to wait a long time to find a window of opportunity to release Crosseyed Heart, Keith showed plenty of creative drive to complete that album a short while ago, the jury is still out on Mick, he needs to prove he can still create music at that level, it's been a long while, it's getting to the point where seeing will be believing, but in 15 years we have virtually nothing from Mick that comes close to Ronnie or Keith's last solo efforts.

Apparently Bill was still bothered, even after all that time

I could never see Bill wanting to play in a Rolling Stones without Charlie

Would be amazing if Bill was invited to play bass on a tune for the long-delayed "new" album! If they can manage to have Macca as a special guest on a tune, makes perfect sense they should have Bill also. Just my two cents.
