Lack of inspiration, no real motivation while time waits for no one, priority to concerts, what else to explain the absence of a new album since 2005...

Sums it up perfectly really, especially the "no real motivation" bit !
The priority since 2012 has been on live shows, and all was going well in that respect until COVID f***ed it all up. Personally, I'll fall over backwards if this "supposed" new album ever actually makes an appearance before we all expire. Them, us, the polar icecap, the entire planet, the universe ...

But everytime a new Rolling Stones album was released I read: "back to old form!" "best since Exile!"

Thing is: how many copies would it sell? How much money would they make? Is it worth the bother?
I want an album, by the way

Christ, they’re artists aren’t they? Artists CREATE. Bothering should have nothing to do with it. IF they are artists still, they should FEEL THE NEED to create. If they don’t feel they need, and ever get back on the road, then they’ll just be, as I have termed them for a few tours now, the Worlds Most Expensive Cruise Ship Band.

I'm pretty sure they have created a lot. It's the releasing part that's been a bit difficult

MY HOPE is they hit us with an album this mid fall ...
I'm having a bit of deja vu here Ian as I vividly recall you saying the exact same thing about a new album of originals back in 2016...then 2017...and 2018...and also 2019...not to forget 2020!
Keep on hoping Ian - maybe one of these years your HOPE will finally become a reality...maybe.

Oh please another Keef album,I would even settle for a Stones album ,but better Keef!He was just getting brilliant with Cross eyed Heart.
Oh please not. Crosseyed Heart was a bore. Hard to listen to more than a couple of times.
I still like listening to it.
I struggled to make through it once. Didn't return.
You shouldn't take it so hard...

We don't know it yet - wait (some weeks) for the official announcement by the Stones ....

Ronnie found his creative outlet in painting, whatever one thinks of it, and then he has never been a regular songwriter for the Stones anyway. I still think it's a pity that he didn't (couldn't) get more involved here.

Ronnie might have been able to help slightly with various contributions, but the fact is he hasn't been very prolific either. If he's ever felt stifled by Mick and Keith he could have easily released more solo material,
but it's been over a decade since his last album, and almost another decade since the one before that. In total, a few sporadic credits on Stones albums over the years, and seven solo albums since 1974 with the
first four between '74 and '81.It's good thing he has painting as a hobby to keep him busy during all the down time, and you gotta give him credit for all of the live guest spots he does with so many other artists,
but to think he could have helped the Stones write and release more material at faster pace over the years? Maybe just a little, but probably nothing more than that.

Not lack of inspiration per se. Not total lack of motivation. But scarcity in incentives given them to work out thoroughly their song ideas in the studio and perfect them. That scarcity of incentives is a result of the reception to the music they have released over the later decades, leading to a vicious circle between creation and reception for their music. The first fatal instance of this circle I have repeatedly claimed was about the reception to UNDERCOVER. Maybe, though, maybe their latest single was a break through from the said longlasting circle.
