Rocky Dijon the name says it all, abusive cynical it’s so easy to see why people lose interest in this site, because people like you continually shove their boring opinions relentlessly down everyone’s throats. I enjoy Micks albums enormously, and I enjoy Keith’s enormously, and they are different and complimentary. They are better together IMO. But find other things to say! I loved Doxa’s writing about Sticky, fascinating! More please!
What on earth is this? What did I miss?
Not sure, but it made me laugh. I think some of it is misunderstood humor since I had just done a post sending up the madness of the new album and all of our (including my own) reactions to it. I'm not upset, though I'm not sure if guyrachel knows the "abusive, cynical" name was one Mick or Keith thought of in the first place.

Doxa
By contrast, his earlier solo albums decades ago were made in totally different circumstances. TALK IS CHEAP and MAIN OFFENDER were, like Rocky Dijon pointed out above, more easily translatable into Rolling Stones music, which is to say, if in those albums one starts to miss the missing voice and contribution of Mick Jagger, in CROSSEYED HEART one does not. Probably for that reason it reflects the sort of maturity, which I believe a Rolling Stones album can never do. Mick Jagger will never allow that (thank goodness).

Sorry to correct you, but that was me, not Rocky!
Sorry retired dog! I should have checked that or written "some cool and insightful poster I admire very much" instead... I go quickly to edit my post..
- Doxa
Ha, ha, that's probably too much honour for an old bugger like me! However, the admiration is mutual - as you may have noticed, I have already been called "one of Doxa's poodles" here by an entertaining chap...
So so sorry retired dog, i did indeed call you Doxa's poodle but i was confusing you with another poster who just chimes in after Doxa with nothing to say for himself, no naming names..
I was going to apologize before but the opportunity didn't arrive.
What you and Doxa have is more of a mutual admiration society, you are no poodle, very good at conversing in an articulate manner on your own dear chap.
You take it upon yourself, keithsman, to tell us that another poster, according to you, has nothing to say for himself. How do you really know? However, if that is your attitude, maybe you ought to express your apology above for instance in German and French as well, to show that you are comfortable with giving your views in what for you probably will be second languages. Hopefully you may learn something thereby.
There may be present posters (or readers abstaining from becoming posters) with more nuanced points of view that they find difficulty in expressing, without having needed to write so long posts that they are afraid those posts risk be left unread, especially when they would be formulated in a second language. Then a compromise for them may be to agree to a large extent with posts from a rich and eloquent writer like Doxa, himself, as we know, masterfully expressing himself in a second language. I find that legitimate. Such quotes may serve as a basis for their own views.
To think that your post comes from someone obsessed with a writer's block is quite an irony.
On the contrary i welcome posters who are not articulate, i am dyslexic but have really improved since the internet, since posting on iorr my writing has improved considerably.
I want new posters to say more and i'm certainly not a snob, i have never picked anyone up on their English since i have been here.
I was addressing retired dog and told him i confused him with another poster when i called him Doxas poodle, pointing out that i enjoy retired dogs and Doxas posts in not a slant or criticism on other less articulate posters.

The Stones have painted themselves into a corner with this album in the sense that now it HAS to be REALLY good ... Otherwise to their fans their reputation
will be eh .. pretty spent.
If they release something even simply 'good' after all this crazy long a wait, re-plans, teasers etc etc will simply not do it.
People, fans, even journalists are now (<in their own way) calling them out about all their postponements concerning it. They are stuck .. If they dont release anything their reputation as having any substance still beyond a greatest hits show will be gone.
If they release something simply good .. it will be a let-down and folks will say 'it took over three years and some change to simply give us another standard / good album? That's pretty poor considering the time line.
Considering how long and all the postponements now they HAVE to deliver something remarkable .. and guess what.. they know it -

Rubbish.
Their reputation is written in stone. Whether they ever release an album of new material will hane zero effect on it. They don't HAVE to do anything. A handful of people will be disappointed if no new album is ever done

The only part of Doxa's Poodle that I truly loved was that it was said to Retired Dog. It's like calling Hairball a mangy cat. It was too perfect to be upset by.
That said, treaclefingers has a good point. Doxa's Poodles should be three gorgeous, shapely private eyes in skintight clothing who left the police academy out of frustration. "Now they work for me. My name is Doxa."
...or something.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about 1/2 the time it’s okay it probably goes both ways.
Really, I take what they give. Is this not what creativity is? Give it or not.
I have no feelings or demands on this purported new music.
I’m nuts from seeing them in concert, but this I’m okay on LOL

HUMOUR?! You should have told us, you may not be upset but I am!
Even though I'm laughing on the outside, I'm crying on the inside...or something.

I still think album is coming and more work has been done then they’re letting on. I have nothing to fall back on except my gut. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been recording in bits and spirts since 2011.

Might be because "Keithettes" was used to diminish authority or belittle Keith-fans earlier?
Like feminine qualities should be any poorer than the masculine ones. What utter bullocks. I'm a proud Keithette. A Mickette, too, btw

Was it? Really? My memory is not what it used to be...
Let's talk about feminine qualities! Uhm, better not, we would quickly get another 10 OT pages here. I consider myself a Stonesette, btw. It's ok imo if someone has a favourite band member, but I find it rather funny if this leads to taking sides in band internal rivalry or problems which may be true, but could also as well be constructed by a clever PR strategy...
So back to the new album! Anyone? Rocky? Georgelicks?
