I believe it'd be a good idea for the new album to conclude with a hidden track of Charlie jamming, talking, rehearsing or whatever.

Did someone say Mick Taylor would be playing on the new record? That would be amazing! Only Mick Taylor (and Sir Paul McCartney) can save this record.

I find that quote...curious.
You haven't even heard the record, so what exactly needs 'saving', if you could clarify?

I recall Dylan once released an album called SAVED. But there was no Macca or Taylor involved there... Probably the album was not saved, after all..

I don't quite see how Macca should outhustle or outbullshit the Stones w.r.t. the new album. From what little we know at this point, he is playing bass on a track (maybe also providing background vocals or the odd hand clap). We don't know what kind of song it is, who wrote it, or anything else about it, etc. From a musical perspective, Paul certainly plays the bass well enough to survive on a Stones track. And if the Stones (or rather, M&K) decide to rather not have it on the album, it won't be on the album anyway, or become a Japan bonus track, or whatever.
Whether it is the song Keith says to have written with Paul a few years back also remains to be seen. None of us know whether this was really a more or less finished song or just a sketch. Apart from that, the way I understood it there was only talk about Paul playing bass on one track, not about co-writing a song with (any of) the Stones.
From a business/sales perspective it may well make sense to have a song with Paul on the album because it may make Macca die-hards or completists buy the album (or track) who perhaps wouldn't buy it otherwise. Might raise the sales a little but certainly won't double them (or so).
Whether the track is any good is something we will find out sooner or laer. It Mick and Keith consider it sub-par, I guess it won't make it onto the album anyway.

...and of course all of this is predicated on a new album actually being released! Has any album in history ever been written about, spoken about, argued about, analysed, parsed, considered, guessed at, imagined, been subjected to more miles and miles and miles of screens full of conversation as the long promised 'new' Stones studio album?
I think not!

long time fans, who dare to remember when The Stones really did give a damn, musically, and created some of the most revolutionary, dangerous, terrifying, exciting music on the planet!
Never to return!

It's ludicrous really that a working band, with a huge worldwide fan base, takes this length of time to put out an album of new original material. At the rate of one song PER YEAR, they could arguably have created two new original albums. But then, where is the incentive if they get paid mega bucks to knock out another greatest hits package, live recording, or trawl through the vaults? And then of course there are the tours, with their oh-so-static warhorse-stuffed set lists, together with an occasional crumb-from-the-table for long time fans, who dare to remember when The Stones really did give a damn, musically, and created some of the most revolutionary, dangerous, terrifying, exciting music on the planet!

Wondering if Stevie Wonder will also be featured as a guest artist on the new album...
I recall a photo of him visiting the Stones in the studio in L.A around the same time Macca was there.
Maybe both Stevie and Macca will play on the same track...a Macca-Wonder-Stones track could be excellent.
Its all speculation why they have put out one studio album of new material in25 years. Maybe andMick and Keith don’t want to put out another dud like A Bigger Bang, which will lessen their legacy.And they don’t need to financially either because theycan make over a 100 million a year doing live shows.Whereas they don’t make big money selling albums .But who knows about the new album. I will be happy if it’s better than A Bigger BangQuote

It’s not a matter of just putting out an album but putting out something that belongs in the catalog.
Think of it like this, in 1989 a new band comes on the scene called The Rolling Stones with their first album Steel Wheels.
Then they put out Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang.
Good not great. If they kept putting out records like that their legacy would be diminished, Mick knows that.why do you think he dropped the gotta have new music/ look forward thing? it’s Black Crowes level music, people like it and they’ll turn out to see you in the theaters and sheds but this is greatness we’re talking about here.
And believe me,They’re NOT gonna make a new great record, forget it.to believe that you’d have to be a casual fan who thinks Mick and Keith were the Stones.they’re not and they never were and the actual band is either dead or gone.
It’ll be good, but great? Not a chance.
