QuoteRocky Dijon What needs to be seen is what happens next now that Pete Townshend shared Mick's frustration that the album is taking so long. Keith and Ronnie separately did overdubs in May. The band was expected to regroup in the studio after the tour. Soldatti and others heard December, but it appears if it happened at all it was in November when Ronnie's movie premiered and Mick an

There have been times when just Mick and Keith (and Don Was etc.) met in the studio a couple times ...and when Mick and Ronnie met as well in putting this together so far. There are more than likely at least three more sessions to add to the list above. This is not even counting them (Mick, Keith or perhaps even Ronnie) working on it alone ..at home or wherever ..which we saw Mick posting clips o

QuoteRocky Dijon We're presuming because no one has said they've been back in the studio since the tour ended, that they haven't done so at all. We're also trusting that's it's been "early stages" for four years because they recycle the same lines to the press when there could be a boatload of tracks, alternate versions, etc. that could be signed off on

QuoteLazarusSmith Quotewonderboy Be interesting to see how they promote this new album. The Who have shown how to promote yourself in today's marketplace. Their tour was nowhere near as big as a Stones tour, but it was interesting and generated lots of press. Townshend and Daltrey did a ton of interviews. As usual, Pete writes the story for the reporter, but Daltrey has also been good this
