Kinda says it all about how expectations have flatlined! Now we all get excited by a few seconds of noodling/riffing/messing about by either Mick or Keith. I noodle about/mess about/riff (very badly) on guitar every day. But I sure as heck ain't gonna be producing any new album either!!

Quotedoitywoik If they are really intending to do an old-fashioned promote-the-new-album tour (which I am rather hesitant to believe, though) and want the release of the album to coincide (more or less) with the start od the tour, we may still have to wait for some more months (which however gives us the chance to push this thread to 700 or perhaps even 750 pages, if we work on it hard enough).

This is unacceptable, not just morally, but also due to IORR posting rules, to constantly pest and bother other individuals.
