The Stones are not afraid of anything, they are all multi multimillionaires who have every thing in the world they could possible imagine... but it is not just message board people who LOVE to bash on their newer music. It seems like it has become "the cool thing" for some to bash on The Stones and their new music, I guess it makes some nobodies feel better about themselves to bash on a band of this caliber.
I think The Stones do whatever they feel like doing and I bet they just dont see the need (or fell like putting out) another album right now, they have nothing to prove to anyone, and their albums (AS GOOD AS THEY ARE)(TIME WILL PROVE THAT) have not had the best reception in recent years... people seem to always goes back to comparing new wife to their wife from the 70s... or whatever. Not to mention the modern music model is different THAN 1972, These days most acts make more money playing live than releasing new music.
The Stones are geniuses, it is a proven fact. I would bet they have tons of music they could produce pretty quickly and release... if they felt like it... I guess they just dont feel like sharing their songs with an unappreciative public... and I understand that 100%.

The Stones have not put out new music because they have not felt the need .. they have not been inspired. In order for a band like the Rolling Stones to come out with an album they must be into it .. a new venture. It isn't because the public is unappreciative (which many very much are.. and it's slightly a shame) .. It is simply because the excitement wasnt there and that inspiration wasnt there to create a new album. HOPEFULLY that has changed / is changing / will change so we can finally get the new album as planned.

I would LOVE to have some news Stones music... but I would not be surprised if we never get it because it seems they are in their new groove doing things different for the last 10 years... which fine by me. We are now getting tours EVERY year!!! Where it used to be... so llloooooooonnnggggg between live shows... now we get them (one way or another) every year for the last years... it is constant live shows and that is AWESOME!!!
If being in that live show groove has cost us new music... then so be it.
I would be OK if they didnt do a full album...
and instead started releasing a couple of killer songs at time...
IT WORKED GREAT FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME... JUMPINJACKFKGFLASH!!!
Jack didnt need no stinking album... He jumped all on his own!
Jack said... "album? ALBUM???!! I DONT NEED NO STINKING ALBUM!!! RELEASE ME!"And they did

I shudder to think of what would have happened if I had told my Grand Pa that he had plenty of time to do that project which he had promised me and should do NOW, when he was 75 years old. "HEY GRAND PA!!! YOU GOT PLENTY OF TIME!! TO DO THAT PROJECT FOR ME, NOW GET BUSY!" yikes!!... shuddering
My GrandFather died when he was 83. I thought he was much older... I would have guessed 90-95, but nope, My Dad told me not too long ago when he got some cancer at 82 years old. I said to my Dad I didn't think our family had a history of cancer and he said if Grandfather had lived longer he might have gotten some too, but he died at 78.
I said "well first of all Dad, you are only 45-50.... and I am 25-30... or something"... and he said to me... "Son, I told you all that rock and roll would mess up your brain"... and then he explained how old we all are... but I still dont believe...
I am 25-30 years old... that is my story...
and I am sticking to it... as I have for the last 25-30 years.
Anyway... I guess Mick is... I dont know how old he is... 45-50 now?
So... I dont know what to think... except... I am going swimming right now, before Summer is gone too.

What if your Grandpa told you he was going to take you to the park every day and every time ya went over to visit he was at Bingo or at the park with some other kid? After about five years ya realize ol'e Gramps has had the time .. he just chose not to take .. <<Bahahahah mostly kidding.. but there is actually a shade of truth to that scenario.

Grandpa and Rembrandt aside,The Stones can’t write great songs anymore.they can write a few good ones but why pile more mediocrity on top of what’s already there?
Since the band is all about the live show now where do the songs go? Replace paint it black or miss you with streets of love? Jumping jack flash with drivin too fast? Maybe you could throw out it’s only rock and roll and put in might as well get juiced.
In short order you’d be replacing that crowd of 60,000 with a crowd of 6000. People leave saying “they were great but I wish they would’ve played Wild horses or Angie” not” I wish they would’ve played Always Suffering or Sweethearts together”

Good old Grandpa Rembrandt......though unlike the still mighty popular multi-millionaire Stones, in reality Rembrandt died a poor and sad old lonely man far removed from his heyday as a "rock star".
His last self portrait painted the year he died in 1669 when he was 63 years old looking a bit somber, disenchanted, and weary of it all.

that's funny...you think these guys are afraid of critics?...if really so...then they would have stopped playing live gigs years ago.
