They probably receive a couple of dollars for every album sold/downloaded/etc... but they get 30-40$ for every t-shirt sold at concerts + millions from ticket sales.
I wonder why people can't understand why this damn new album doesn't come out.
Wouldn't you do the exact same thing?

Hairball, I am going to bet against your thought that they won't play Ghost Town on the next tour.
IMO, it is a better song than those others, and it also included audience participation.

I wonder if any of the classic rock artists from the 60's has have any real 'hits' since the 80's. With that I mean not great songs hardcore fans might like but such tunes people are familiar with and recognize like their old classics. Dylan maybe (even talking about 'hits' with him is not very apt).
It could be as much the artists running out of hit potential creatively as their audience not any longer being so excited easily as before. Hits are young people's game. Time waits for no one, etc.

"Hits" may be a quirky word (any other suggestions?). I don't think The Rolling Stones are above "hits" though. They are into popular music after all, not a serious classical act. I remember Jagger himself explaining what a good album was; he said something like this " a good single and two songs you can play live". Even Watts complained about the lack of hits from the latter day albums. So I don't think it is irrelevant to bring the issue to the table.

Kokomo was a big hit for The Beach Boys in 1988...

She Was Hot extended version is a classic
In what world?
edit: the attitude of Jagger combined with the laid back flow of Keith. The Stones were done when Wyman left.Quote

In my world. To me SWH is their last really good Stones song. Maybe even great. It has the Stonsey natural flow, that swagger only they had.

They haven't lived in the same city since 1971. Since then, they've relied on their habits and tricks but no new fire could be ignited, except when thay had to live together for a while (Paris 1977-1978).
Put them in lockdown in the same home for a year, you'll get a great album.

I love the extended version. Nothing better to play in the jeep driving on the highway.Quote

Their last Top 10/40 hit in the US was on 1989-90, Mick and Keith were both at 46 at the time, I can name 2 or 3 acts with hits at that age or older: Elton John (featured with guests), Madonna's last Top 40 was on 2011 at 53 and Aerosmith with Jaded on 2001 with Tyler at 53 too.
No other act got a Top 40 hit with a new song after age 50.
