They will carry on as long as suckers, I mean fans, are willing to pay them the buckets of cash they can get for pumping out the same 18 tunes over and over. As long as Mick and Keith are standing up there giving an approximation of the Stones from a long time ago, people will come. They would survive Charlie leaving. Fans wouldn't like it, and the rhythm section would sound even worse, but those people aren't paying that close attention anyway. Hell, I heard them in 2013 in L.A., not knowing who Mick Taylor was. As long as Mick and Keith stand there and give some nostalgic kick that takes people back........
Valid opinion, but not sure if Keith would be willing to carry on without Charlie or any of the others. Mick on the other hand might be willing to continue as the "Stones" without Charlie or Keith or Ronnie.
As long as he has one of them there it would close enough, and many in attendance wouldn't care. For the casual fan, Mick being the front man is the most recognizable, and most take a piss break during Keith's set anyways.

Yes, why not.
It hasn't really been The Rolling Stones since Brian left.
Don't confuse younger people here who believe that the Stones more or less took off when Ronnie joined the band and regard everything that happened before more or less as their "formative years"...

i agree but I think Keith is (heart and) soul, mick is the head, and Charlie is the Skeletal structure.
Where does that leave Ronnie?

Hi Hairball,
do you remember hoe "popular" Mick was doing his solo tour? USA and Europe were cancelled! Japan, well it doesn't count, because the Stones had never played there to start with and Japanese buy anything! They even paid $100.000 to invite that Olympic Games full fatched cheater Ben Johnson or female student sweat in a bottle. The real Stones fans didn't like Mick's solo adventure then and I think not in the future either. Certainly not as "The Rolling Stones". Maybe "Mick Jagger's Rock and Roll Circus" would attract people. But not at a level like the recent No Filter Tour or the Zip Code tour.

Where does that leave Ronnie?
Ronnie Wood is a big fcking deal.drunk,high,fresh out of rehab,it didn’t matter.he showed up and played.
He wrote some really good songs and sometimes didn’t get credit,took an amazing amount of shit from the diva twins and never complained.he always did what was best for the band.
He didn’t quit without warning and show up later weighing 250 pounds and whining about song credits.cashing that check for co-writing its only rock and roll would’ve been nice but again,never complained.
Dude is a trooper and we’re lucky to have him.

Of the 3 original members, I think Charlie is the most likely to decide its time to retire. He's a bit older than the rest & while he still always plays well I could see him decide to hang it up. That being said, do you think the Stones should continue if that were to happen?

Sorry.
Depressing and useless thread despite numerous comments I respect.
Whatever has to happen, will happen.

I don't know about Charlie but if Mick retired the band could easily carry on with Axl Rose.

And Ringo Starr on drums if Cholie decides to live on his pension plan!

i have not noticed a toilet break with Keith singing at any of the Uk shows through the years since 1990, and certainly not in Paris or many other shows in Europe. Keith seems to be loved all over the world and gets incredible respect when he does his set in most Country's.

Keithsman you remind me of my younger self before the scales had fallen from my eyes re “Keef”. He’s not actually quite as cool as you think he is. Tough to take I know but you’ll lead a better life when you accept this.

yeah the "Keith pee break" seems to be a fantasy purported by Stones "fans" with massive prostate problems right?

Yep i'll go along with that, personally if i got to take a pee it's going to be through Miss You or YCAGWYW. Each to their own i guess.

A pee break (or any type of break) during any portion of a Stones show is sacrilege imo, and not an option - especially these days with the expensive tickets and the short 19 song set list.
But it is not a myth that alot of people take the opportunity during Keith's set for a pee break and/or a beer run - especially casual fans who've never heard Slipping Away for example.
Obviously not a mass exodus, but many get antsy after Keith's first song, and use the opportunity as an intermission to do what they have to do. I imagine if Ronnie were given a solo spotlight, it would be even worse.
