It's funny, but to me, the 90s was a real golden era. I think that is due to my age and the time at which I got into the band though, so I guess we are all different

I got into the band during the 80's, and despite the band or the Twins coming up with a new album about every year, and it was interesting to follow what happens next, I am not quite willing to call it a golden era...
Strange to think it now, but I've been since then waiting the band to make a new 'Start Me Up', and I am still waiting... Even though that was the song that got me hooked back then, I thought that it was just another new hot single, and the band will come up with those if not every year, but every a few years. You know, a new instant Stones classic. The same goes to TATTOO YOU. It was a wonderful album back then for sure, but pretty much 'just another Stones album' , and nothing that extraordinary if compared to their past (I mean, it was just three years from already then legendary SOME GIRLS). Now it is like The Last Masterpiece, and anything they have done ever since pales in comparision with a huge margin.

Are you including live albums and compilations in your "about every year" observation of The Rolling Stones and Twins in the 1980s or just studio?
Depending on your own technical aspect of numbers and years, since decades end on a zero, the Stones only released 4 albums in the 1980s, 5 if you cheat and count 1980.
Even with 1980 being 5 Stones albums, and 3 between Mick and Keith, alright, that's "about every year"!
Studio, solo, live and compilations starting with 1980
Emotional Rescue
Sucking In The Seventies
Tattoo You
Still Life
Undercover
Rewind
She's The Boss
Dirty Work
Primitive Cool
Talk Is Cheap
Steel Wheels
Quite a busy 10 years release wise from 1980-1989 overall.

Hi,
After reading a interview with Keith, talking about Charlie and Steve i was wondering and maybe i am just thinking wishful, but suddenly i was thinking we might be surprised by a double CD, first one filled with the final Charlie sessions and another one with Steve on drums.
Keith said they were still thinking about the final Charlie stuff and maybe recording with Steve.
So no idea if this has been talked about over here, but how do you all think about it ?

Hairball
Anything's possible, but at the same time everything's doubtful.
Keith said they might think about how to finish the supposed new album when the tour is over, as in maybe they will, or maybe they won't.
And meanwhile, Mick is recording/releasing hokey and trite tunes for tv series.
Nearly 17 years since ABB................

I think it's pretty obvious that Covid and Charlie's death threw the completion of the new album off the rails - otherwise 2022 would have been the year of release... It's still possible, though, but momentarily they seem to be a bit clueless what to do and how to handle the material with Charlie and Steve on drums, just as it looks like they're not exactly motivated to celebrate their 60th Anniversary without Charlie (apart from another cash-cow tour, obviously).
Meanwhile, this is the time of individual high mass for the usual naysayers here (who seemingly feel personally offended by Mick releasing a TV series tune)...

Might, in its meaning, implies the opposite. It's not 'maybe they will, or maybe they won't', it's simply maybe.
Might, may, could - gives strength to (the possibility of) it will.
Might not, may not, could not - gives strength to (the possibility of) it won't.

Next in line after the Euro tour would probably be a Japan/Australia tour. So a new album? Maybe in 2023 then. If ever.

I think you are right about the 60th Anniversary. Surely people love anniversaries and all that extra fiesta, but after passing of Charlie probably they don't feel that cheerful. Probably releasing a new album had fitted very well, but that didn't or likely will not happen.
That said, I think altogether expecting the Stones to make their 60th anniversary such a big thing than of their golden Anniversary might be based on wrong premises. As a band they are in an altogether different position than 10 years ago. Then the biggest concern - despite all the vaults material, films, books and whatever - was if the band will perform live again. That was something people were waiting for (and about on every interview that was the thing asked from all of them). Now people do not seem to worry about, it is taken as granted - just 'another cash-cow tour' as you put it. It even looks like that having the Stones on stage is not enough or is just boring - they want something 'extra' to entertain them (a totally new set list, Royal Albert Hall, some ex-members on stage, etc.). However, the Stones seem to think that it is business as normal, and that's it.
How did they celebrated their big anniversies in the past?
1972: EXILE and American tour (business as normal).
1982: STILL LIFE and European tour. Business as normal, although they gave some interviews to tv shows to celebrate their 20 years of existence.
1992: Nothing (if we don't count almost all of them making solo albums). However, they sort of had celebrated their 25th Anniversary in 1989 (with 25x5, although seemingly they didn't mind too much about maths or dates).
2002: FORTY LICKS and first tour since 1975 (although IORR wasn't that old yet) to tour without a new studio album. A new 'underwear' concept in touring with setlists looking back with no shame.
2012: GRRR, CROSSFIRE HURRICANE and all that stuff, plus a few shows with Taylor and Wyman. Pure nostalgia with no shame.
2022: Some extra releases and a European Tour called SIXTY (just another leg of 50 YEARS AND COUNTING really). Business less or more like normal.
