What went through my head about meetings was that Universal would be meeting with them to listen to the tracks they've laid down since last Fall. If it was a mutual decision that they should take time and make it the best they could, look at what we've had:
Blows my mind that Universal would have any involvement other than to give it a casual listen. Studio execs. giving opinions, that's the making of a fantastic Rock n' Roll song similar to the Clash's Complete Control. Hell, cover Complete Control!!

“Meetings.” Wow. One used to call it recording, or rehearsals, or being in the studio. Maybe they should bring their lawyers to these meetings, in some conference room, to help negotiate the direction of the album. Or maybe Mick is just so Hollywood these days that he talks in terms of meetings. Cracks me up.

....Selfishly, I'd rather have had more Stones albums and solo albums than Stones tours, but that's not reality.
Me too ...and reality now is that if they stop touring for very long, they won't start again . So we must enjoy it whilst we can.

The Stones are a corporation as well as a band. There are matters that the four of them decide, whether it has to do with recordings or many other things. There is nothing unusual about them having a meeting, no reason for anyone to have any basis to know what they discuss(ed) at any meeting, only a handful of people who think that they know what the Stones are doing, or what they should be doing.

Might seem a silly question, but if The Who can record and release an album this year, then why can't The Stones...who we are led to believe have been working on it for a couple of years at least.

(Mick: ) "We’re working on a new Rolling Stones album. I have meetings about it this week.”
Let me return to this once again. Seems like I'm not the only one who found the word "meeting" odd in this context, so I'm wondering: could it be that Mick was in fact referring to business meetings with some company execs (or maybe cover artists) or the like? I have no clue if there is someone/something/somewhere in LA that might be relevant in this respect?

That was my first thought, too. In the music business, "meeting" is always used in the strict sense of "business meeting", not recording sessions or the like. A business meeting could mean anything around the album - meeting with cover artist, meeting with record company execs, but not the recording of the album, the creation of the actual music itself. I also cannot see why Jagger would change a lifelong common expression.

Why do you think it irritates me? I was just responding to posts that thought a meeting was unusual, having followed the band for decades and knowing that they often get together for meetings, business or otherwise, as you know also.Quote

Why would you bother coming here and posting in this thread if the thought of people sharing information or speculating irritates you? What else do you expect to find here? If you want solid news only, Bjornulf's News page is the place to go.
