With Mick saying "This one is from STEEL WHEELS" on the 2019 tour, I got to laughing - that thing is 30 YEARS OLD!!!!
1989, 1994, 1997, 2005, 2016.
Almost 15 years without a new original studio album, yet Mick hates nostalgia and looking back but... loves playing all those old songs.
A new album would be good. Watch it come out in the spring of 2020, they do a 2 year world tour for it consisting of 28 shows, and hang it up for good in 2022 (probably with another greatest hits album to celebrate 60 years or some archaic thing).

It will be a 60th Anniversary thing. And that means we will see hundreds of more "last post by Ian Billen" markers in the thread overview for this subject before its final release date.

That would take us to 2022 which seems to be the reality as of right now, and a date which some of us have predicted several times over.
As for Ian, have to give him credit for his positive hope although at times he comes across as frustratingly anxious and antsy. Seemingly living in a fantasy world, he sees only what he wants to see, and interprets everything based on his own hopes and wishes. Occasionally a dose of reality will sink in, but a few days later "the Stones are under contract, they owe UMG (and us) a new album, and it will be released very soon". It's been difficult at times keeping him grounded, but at the same time it's been a respectful conversation for the most part.
Here's to a new Stones album in 2022, and hopefully Ian will still be here with us when that happens - this thread wouldn't be the same without him.
And it will be interesting to read his reactions to an album that's been cobbled together from a stockpile of tracks that have been worked on for many years now - similar to Tattoo You.
Not an album of brand new originals that have been freshly written in the last few years as he had hoped for and was certain about.
Meanwhile, the only thing left for now is to enjoy Ronnie's new album and make the most of it...2022 is a LONG ways away.
2022 will make it nearly an 18 year gap since ABB, so let's all hope it's a good one!

My remark about Ian wasn't meant negative in any way, and I'm sure he is aware of the "tongue in cheek"-nature of it. In fact, I totally respect his apparently still intact enthusiasm for this band, which reflects mine for many decades, but that I've lost to a certain degree because imo, this is a band with just too many missed chances since oh so many years (if not decades) by now.

Yes retired_dog, I realize all of that - I was just adding my own bit of tongue-in-cheekness to the story of "Ian and his adventures of the supposed new Rolling Stones album".
As to Ian - never give up hope...eventually/hopefully there will be a new Stones album...some day. All I am saying, is give them a chance! lol
Whether it's by the end of this year or 2020, maybe the 60th anniversary in 2022, or maybe sometime in the 2030's...nobody knows, and to be quite honest I don't even care any more!
For now it's all about enjoying the current tour, looking forward to Ronnie's new album, followed by a No Filter Live cd/dvd release, and from there we'll have to wait and see.

Keep in mind Ian that Keith and Mick call all the shots, and with Ronnie still being "the new guy" doubt he has any say on how and when they record.
He's basically on call, and probably gave up on waiting and wondering deciding "screw it, I'll do my own album".
You can bet he would have postponed plans for that if he was given a call to work and/or knew a new Stones album was near complete
Hats off to Ronnie for working - can't blame him for the stagnating cesspool that the supposed new album has become.

So all this sounds like there will be a new Rolling Stone (note the singular) album still this year! - And I don't care whether Ronnie wrote/recorded the tunes over the past few years or only last week.
Now what could this mean w.r.t. the new Rolling Stones (note the plural) album? I'm pretty sure Ronnie didn't do this behind Mick and Keef's back but they were informed and OK with it - from which one might conclude that there will be no new Stones (plural) album this year and Ronnie's album will not get in the way.

There's gonna be a new album soon: Ronnie's. And if that's not good enough, Neil & The Horse have one coming up, too!

"We don’t know what will happen after the tour, we’re trying to finish the new album, maybe we’ll make it and I think it will definitely be the last of the Stones, so we’re trying to do a good job.
Keith, if it was for him, would always be on tour, like Dylan, but then he too gets tired. He often says it’s his last tour, but I have doubts about it. It is possible that if we don’t other big tours, we could perform in some spot festivals, as happened with Desert Trip, we’ll see”
