I personally want a ROLLING STONES album, not a "Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, the guy on the piano, and those other guys" album brought to you buy McDonalds or Nintendo or Honda or what have you.
I think there are way to many people involved- it should just be the ROLLING STONES. It's sad to see the Stones trying to be cool when they already are cool. ABB seemed like them trying, rather them actually doing, like on Some Girls etc. Get rid of all the suits, the back up guitars, the back up horns, the back up singers, the crappy piano solos, the special guests etc. It's not gonna take some hyped up "super" producer like "Rick Rubin" to get them in gear, only they can and all the crap they're surrouned by doesn't help any. I miss the Stones that didn't give a @#$%& and just played...
It's like our good friend Keef Riffhard once said, "Rock and roll is from the waist down"
