I think this increases the chance of a warm up gig. Not sure they will just go into St. Louis with out a club show under their belt.

Why not bring in a kick-ass young guitarist to stand in the shadows and play what Keith cannot anymore, like many aging bands do? Without Charlie its not the Rolling Stones its going to be the Rolling Stones Revue starring the Glimmer Twins, backed by the Chuck Leavall Orchestra.
You're forgetting they already did this in the 90s with Blondie Chaplain et all......that huge touring band was more the "Rolling Stones Revue" than the relatively stripped down band they have been touring since 2013.
Charlie is ailing but the show must go on for numerous business related reasons that I am sure if everyone thought about it would understand. Once one accepts that, the curiosity about how this will sound, impacts the set list etc etc kicks in. It's a weird situation we never expected but I'll roll with the tumbling dice....

Blondie never played any of Keith's parts.

If Bill was replaceable then are Charlie and Ron. Basically this is what happens when you don't know when to stop. There is no such thing as a never ending tour.

I wonder if he's going to play the songs in his style or try to copy Charlie's style?

Either way, I'm betting on him being lambasted around here. I don't envy him for that.

I'm sure they'll tell him to play it like he feels it.

Like Karl Denson plays it like he feels it - and does not try to imitate Bobby Keys.

Which is why he sounds so put of place doing a Coltrane-esque jazz solo on Brown Sugar.

The list below is the "best of" right off IORR.
It´s a Rolling Stones site, not a site about
"Rock Music in general" or a sports site with
a topic called "What bands do you like?"
I can´t believe that these things were
written the same day the news about Charlie
came out.
>With Steve Jordan … any chance of Slave and How I Wish? in the set list.
> I'm […] kind of curious what it will sound like and if it shakes things up
>However This could be interesting from a setlist/tempos point of view.
>Maybe Steve Jordan sounds better and Mick and Keith fire Charlie from the band [meant as a "joke"]
>Kenny Jones would have been a better choice if he is still around.
>in the meantime jordans a younger drummer with a different drumming style maybe this will encourage them to mix up the setlist a little do stuff they usaully wouldn't and as i said before maybe keith can pull out a wino number during his set
>They've played with Steve Jordan in the studio, and Steve is Keith's go to drummer when working solo. Plus, Steve Jordan is very good. I have no doubt he will be fine.
>Anyway on the end of the day it is better to see the Stones without Charlie then see nothing.
>It might get interesting w/ Steve Jordan tho´.
>Then again, Steve Jordan might be able to inject some energy back into the Stones.
>As for the shows, it's ok if they make the postponed shows with replacement drummer,
>Then it will be very interesting to see how Steve Jordan will solve complex RS drumming challenge
>Steve Jordan will be an ideal dep for Charlie and the shows will still be great.
>Maybe it'll sound different? Better?
>Different YES, but will it be worse?
>If Daltrey and Townshend are still The Who, then I guess Mick, Keith and Ronnie are still The Rolling Stones
>Now I'm just curious to hear, these reworked Stones.
Smells like treason.
No Charlie - no Stones!

I have nothing but love for the Stones. They always have and always will be my favorite band but this is a tough one for me. I would not even consider seeing them without Keith and obviously they would never try it without Mick. If Ronnie was not able to perform I could handle it if Mick T stepped in for him.
Steve Jordan is a great drummer and does have the ability to find and stay in the pocket like Charlie but it will not be the same for me.

Good post, Iggyrichards.
I do think the decision on not to see the Stones without Charlie is much easier for those who haven't bought tickets and/or never planned to go this time around. For those of us who did, refunds are not forthcoming, as far as I can tell. So unless you know people without tickets who still want to go badly, you almost have to go, amirite?
