First leg of Sixty is over now. So maybe Ronnie will pick up Faces project. I hope we get the record rumored earlier. One or two shows in London would be great as well.
It's been like that for the last 30 years...Quote

Is this what rock and roll has come to? Suck the last dollar dry from the rubes before it's all over?

It's getting ridiculous. Not only are the rock dinosaurs getting tiresome, and very, very, expensive, more 'groups' might try and get in the act. That's not the Faces people would be seeing, just like what's out there now isn't really the Rolling Stones. I don't know about Europe, but the Faces weren't that big in the States. They certainly couldn't fill stadiums, and I doubt they could gouge people for $200 USD for a nosebleed seat.

Kenney Jones is this week's guest on the Rockonteurs podcast. He says he and Ronnie have recorded "about twelve songs" with Ronnie on guitar and bass. Rod Stewart sang on six of them. Matt Clifford plays keys.
yeah now that sounds promising
bet it gets released before the new stones album

Rod is a shadow of his former self sadly. His concerts seem to be more about scantily clad young women than music nowadays.

Brian Wilson tours with a couple Beach Boys and some crack musicians. It sounds great, and it's fun, but he doesn't call it the Beach Boys. (Yes, I know Mike Love legally owns the name). And the 'real' Beach Boys with Mike Love suck. How many Rolling Stones have to be gone until it's not the Rolling Stones? They're down to sixty percent. They no longer have the Rolling Stones rhythm section. (Which they haven't had for 30 years). Call it Mick, Keith & Ron, but it's not the Rolling Stones.

It is still The Rolling Stones for if not, they would have no longer been a band in 1969 since that is when the founding member left.I wish in 1993 when Bill leftthey had replaced him with Mick Taylor and then he Ronnie and Keith could have taken turns playing bass on stage.Or at least have allowed Taylor to play the whole shows on the 50 and Counting Tour.The main problem I have with this band is that Bill and now Charlie are kinda of irreplaceable.Particularly Billin the sense that they won’t be playing many more years without Charlie, certainly not 29 as was the case with Bill. And the gig should have gone to Doug Wimbish.Jones is terrible choice.He has no feel for the music.It comes through in some of his comments when he says he was not a fan of the Stones music before joining.He was recently asked what guitarist played his favorite riffs and he said Hendrix not Keith!Quote

I really can’t agree with you, 24FPS. I’d hope the majority would agree with me! What should they call themselves? Brian died, Taylor quit; and Wyman left circa 1991! The Stones carried on and continue to do so to this day. Charlie’s passing must’ve been an unimaginable blow, but it’s still the Rolling Stones.

Steely Dan still has co-founder and core member Donald Fagen, and aside from the late co-founder Walter Becker (RIP),
the band has essentially been a revolving door of various musicians throughout their entire history from one album to the next.
"...American musician best known as the co-founder, lead singer, co-songwriter, and keyboardist of the band Steely Dan,
formed in the early 1970s with musical partner Walter Becker. In addition to his work with Steely Dan, Fagen has released four solo albums".

There's always an exception to the rule. Steely Dan was always Fagen and Becker, with Becker kind of in the background. The Stones, were a collection of musicians who together created a unique chemistry that was greater than the individuals. That chemistry was severely disrupted when Bill left, but it was ended when Charlie passed. You can't just bring in touring musicians and think you have the Rolling Stones. It's a feel that can't be duplicated.

I was just pointing that Steely Dan fact out to kovach, and wasn't giving an opinion one way or another regarding what's left of them or the Rolling Stones.
Whether either of them are "truly" what they call themselves is debatable, and the right answer probably depends on who you ask.
