Had it been possible for him, he would have left the Stones behind in the 80s. Since that, the Stones have Mick in a somewhat diminished capacity. He doesn't like nostalgia, that is why.
Are you interested in any discussions?
Just call it ABBA lol.
I am pretty sure if Mr Jagger reads your post he would be very pleased: that's what he as a public performer tries to do, and nothing else matters.

Yes, carry on, retired_dog, as best you can as long as you can! In respect of what you two shared! The best still possible to you!
Hey, stamped sealed concreted is in vogue. Don't knock it 'til you try it!
Ha, good point. AND, all the 'new' releases in the last decade have been 'old' in the can material.
It's lovely seeing them still hitting the stage with such conviction EVERY time and the pure joy they give to so many.
For the people that would rather see them retire after Charlie, that's understandable but they simply don't need to watch. It isn't their choice.
all the best to you Retired Dog...and yes look forward to the future with confidence and hope it is the only way forward. Carry on!.
And his setlists have quite a few new and recent songs; they might not be up to his highest standards, but to his credit he actually releases new music in the first place.

Valid, though I'm sure there are some diehards who love his new/recent stuff, and there are many who attend that love ALL of his solo and/or Wings material - including Silly Love Songs and the like.
But the main point is he actually records and releases new music. Not resting on his laurels and living completely in the past...still willing to taking a risk and not playing it safe...not quite out to pasture...yet.

If he was to play all new stuff all we would hear are complaints that he isn't playing the classic. If/when the Stones release their new album they would get piloried for not playing all the warhorses. People just complain to complain.
Correct. Some people are never happy with what The Stones do.
I buried two dogs within 4 days recently that were with me in my life with my wife and while and after she died.
They would've died anyway.
Life goes on. It has to. Unless you opt out. This bitch from people about the band without Charlie etc? Their opinions don't affect reality. Because they are opinions. Opinions aren't facts.
Though I dearly love both groups, The Stones are as much a nostalgia act as The Beach Boys (Macca, too) - we're all trying to relive our youth.
Talk about your favorite band.

Charly wanted them to continue and recomended Steve Jordan to replace him. They decided to do so. I think this needs courage because it could have failed. They tryed and they trusted in Steve Jordan. You can hear and see this in their 2021 shows.They trusted, let themselves go and did, what can do at its best: play and let the excitement of the very moment happen.
I was sceptic, when they decided to replace Charly but they proved their decision. And they show their awarenes of Charlies importance. I have a lot of respect for all this.
And I will go their show tonight!
Yippee!

Mick hates the past is an odd spin on claims he's anti-nostalgia. All of this stems from the notion that because he exerts a slight effort to keep up with the times when writing and recording new material, Mick is anti-nostalgia. If that were truthful, he would have left the Stones behind in 1985 and played shows made up only of his latest material regardless of the size of the venue. The very fact that he sings primarily material from 1965 - 1981 at every show, signed a contract to reissue expanded versions of five classic albums from the 1970s and 1980s, and signed a contract to start releasing archival concert recordings from the 1970s forward should be proof that he doesn't hate the past.

It's not my business if Mick Jagger likes or dislikes the past or what he does in his sparetime or anything to do with his love life. I'm really not interested in that, other that I whish for him to be happy with his life.
For me, this is the question:
Do I have a good time at Rolling Stones shows?
Answer: Yes. And that has a lot to do with Mr Jaggers performance and the overall quality of the band and musicians on stage, the music played. I also like being part of a crowd of other fans who have a great night out at the concerts.

That's why the death of Charlie Watts hasn't ended the band. Just like the 4,000 women he has been with, this is just another bump in the road.
And before you flame me, think about how you would react to losing an integral part of your life. How it would effect your soul. Assuming you had one.
I've been a fan for more than 50 years. I'm not a troll. But this chapter truly disturbs me.
It seems to me that any realistic discussion of their behavior other than fawning is not tolerated here. Prove me wrong.
I don't have to think about it, I actually lost an integral part of my life last year - my wife. Most of the things we did we did together - and that includes going to numerous Stones shows. Everything I do now I have to do alone. It hurts, it hurts tremendously, but what shall I do? My soul tells me that I have to carry on doing all the things in life I enjoyed in the past. Otherwise I would give myself up. Is that the kind of "solution" you want for the remaining Stones members? Just because of your selfish opinion that they have to stop because you want them to stop?
And please stop this stupid Jagger blame game. He has a soul, just like you and me. He has made perfectly clear that he misses Charlie as his fellow band member and as his friend. But Mick's life continues. It's his decision that he wants to carry on. Just like Keith's or Ronnie's - personal decisions we should not question from the outside.

How does he hate the past where he sang Out ofTime,a56 year old song? Most of the songs he sings live on this tour are over 40 years old.His band has released one album of new material in a quarter of a century.Sounds like he loves it too much
Ha, good point. AND, all the 'new' releases in the last decade have been 'old' in the can material.
It's lovely seeing them still hitting the stage with such conviction EVERY time and the pure joy they give to so many.
For the people that would rather see them retire after Charlie, that's understandable but they simply don't need to watch. It isn't their choice.

"Mick & Keith with Chuck Leavell and his band" would be a more fitting name.

Retired Dog, I wish you the best. I've recently gone through losing my soul mate. We had our ups and downs, but we were always loyal to each spiritually. I miss her every day and it's been over a year. I guess the deeper the love the deeper the loss. Happily I have a tight support group of people who miss her just as much. We can commiserate and share memories. I hope you're not alone in this, even though you'll think about her every day.

Can't imagine a Stones stadium show without some of the classic great warhorses (HTW, Satisfaction, etc.), - it just wouldn't be the same.
On the other hand, can't imagine a Stones show with many new/recent tunes either as only a few of them exist! Praise be for Living in a Ghost Town...

I think the he meant "Mick hates the PASSED" ... referring to people who drive their cars too slow on the highway.
