For someone who claims to be constantly writing (not to mention the 40 demos he boasted about) - yes it seems odd that his actual output has kind of waned off in recent years.
Might be time to bust out of that slump either with some more solo material and/or an album with the Stones. Or even another Superheavy type collaboration.

Ok, besides Keith walking into Mayberry, I vote this has become the craziest thread on IORR.

Or better yet .. why does everyone make excuses FOR Mick & Keith.? Why does everyone say to those who call The Stones out on it .. say they are being selfish or harsh .. or not understanding enough?
The Stones aren't on their death beds ( ... folks.
Oh yes .. and btw .. they have negotiated a record contract for a couple million and the label is expecting an album .. not to mention the fact that they started one three years ago (at least).
So then .. Whats the problem of saying Yo .. get the album out already .. its been 13/ 14 years?
Not understanding why people cut them so much slack on that .. and not understanding why they think people are selfish simply bc they want what they say they are working on for so long? lol
Pa-leeeeese.

How I read the term 'Keithette' in its heyday after Doxa conned it almost as a concept: It was not at all about Keith fans as such. Instead it concerned a certain ideological bias for arguments in favour of Keith and at the cost of others, especially Mick. That bias tends to establish different standards in explanations and in more or less moral judgements of Stones members' doings. Only few Keith fans would then be marked by that idelogical bias much of the time, but, allegedly, some more posters also will from time to time as an exception to their other normal points of view.
Whether Doxa still will find the term topical, or if it for him belonged to a context of its own, I really don't know.

But then again, what prevents in a theory Richards from saying Jordan 'go home' and Jagger 'stay home' and asking Charlie and Ronnie with Darryl to come over to record some backing tracks with him. And then send them to Jagger wherever he might be. But for some reason Charlie and Ronnie seem to work only when Jagger is involved, be Keith there or not. This is also a kind of development that I have never really understood why. The creative bond between Keith and Ronnie broke a long time ago (80's?), as seemed to happen with Charlie and Keith as well. Probably these days the simple problem might be that of Keith and the rest living in a different continent, and of these old men Mick is about the only guy who bothers ocasionally to fly between... But it looks like that had been the situaion since VOODOO LOUNGE days, if not even earlier (since DIRTY WORK?).

Which must mean that while the concept will be left behind, the phenomenon remains and from time to time is going to reappear. One is got to live with it.

Maindefender is right. They're in their mid-70's, and they've been around the world a thousand times. I don't suspect they've got a ton of exuberant creative energy these days. They'll likely have something to put out at some point from these odd studio sessions in recent years, but it looks like the days of going into the studio to crank out an album and promote it with a tour are long gone. They just tour when they feel like it. The sets have been largely the same for 20 years, and in 20 years they have put out exactly one complete album.
They gave us some great stuff over the years, and I'm thankful for that, but I've come to terms with the evidence; they are (rightfully) tired, and they are not a creative force anymore.

They are either CREATIVE MUSICAL artists or they're not. If they're not, they ARE just the world's most expensive oldies or nostalgia act. And enough is enough... Yes, they ARE still, in the main, great on stage, but it IS now the same old, same old. Jagger himself says he never wants to be an oldies act. Yet he now seemingly is content to be so. Keith says he loves the studio... Why? If what he does in there never sees the light of day?
Look, I don't expect another Exile or Sticky or Bleed. But I would love another album just to throw up, possibly, a couple of gems. But at least a new album WOULD be new, and show the world they are still creative artists
Am I being selfish in wanting the band I have followed for over 50 years to BE a band, a creative band? Creating music, not just visual extravaganzas to showcase their back catalogue? They're going out with a visual whimper it seems...
