She's actually a pretty decent drummer these days (in a primitive sort of way). And according to the Stripes' unauthorized bio, Meg is 100% real, no silicone involved

Animal, from the muppets.

Your question is shameful.

Matt Clifford´s drum machine.

Ringo Starr on drums & Paul McCartney on bass....LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant remeber Charlie even saying it had to be small venues.
He only said no more world tours, this leave a lot of room for interpretation.

It would make sense that they would only do 6 weeks in 6 citys then break for 2 or 3 months and do another 6 weeks in 6 citys and call it a tour.
Do mainly big places with a few smaller gigs.
IE in New York they would do 4 shows at MSG and 1 at Radio City in one week.
Chicago would have 3 or 4 big stadium shows and one arena gig.
same in a few big cities.

Say they did this like
NY
Boston
Chicago
Atlanta
LA
Vegas

thats it, multiple shows in every city and if you want to see the Stones, you go. None of these places are close to me and I am not rich BUT I will find a way to see at least one show... CUZ I LUVS ME SOME STONES

and I am not alone.
play the gigs and we will come.

PLUS, its always more fun to really travel, spend all your money and get a room and get loaded... play rock star with your wife or girlfriend (or both) all in the name of the Rolling Stones.

Rock-n-Roll is my religion and The Stones are its greatest profits... I will travel and spend to go to my church.

Nobody.

Amen

No Charlie = No Stones

Not for me anyway.

And he wont be replaced, either.

Gazza's a stubborn bastard, ain't he?

Charlies style and technique of drumming is unique to the Stones sound - he gives his own signature and 'feel' which is essential, like no other drummer could ever do.
Of course another drummer could play the songs, but I dread to think how they would sound.

There have to be some Rolling Stones Fundamentalists amongst us...

Its only rockin roll but i like it......except the beatles yuk!!!

all the die hards want 2 beleive no way without charlie , me 2 ,but ive seen this sorta movie b4 , keith moon with the who , but that was about 4 more drummers ago , john henry bonham with page & plant, 2 tours their , fleetwood mac without chrissy mc vie , im even hearin rumors the bee gees might tour & those guys were as close as u can get,+ i just saw bb king 2 months ago & hes 80 , so as far as charlie goes , hold on2 your head , hold on2 your hat

If you think they would replace Charlie with some studio drummer then you are not really a Stones fan and you don't understand this band and Mick and Keith, how they think, how they work, and how their ethics are. It will never ever happen.

the drummer of Los Motecas

I am with Gazza...no Charlie, no Stones.

I would pay to see Keith solo, Ronnie solo, Mick solo but the Rolling Stones without Charlie....NEVER!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER BE!!!!

but hey if it is true and it is the last tour, which i hope it is not,
maybe the vaults will be opened up once and for all

Charlie's great grandson! hahahaha

The vaults will never open and there will never be any Stones without Charlie.

Bjornulf

I agree about no stones without charlie, but why wont the vaults open, that does
not make any sence, why deprive us of that , its silly
