throw some caution to the wind and a little more caprice in the setlists and the use of Mick Taylor - this is not calculus out there - its music and entertainment and its pretty fuggin clear that Mick Taylor adds quite a bit when he is utilized.

Quotehbwriter my advice, for what it is worth (ie - zero) You're the Rolling Stones. You don't need people voting on songs. You know what people want. So surprise us. Special guests do not sell tickets. You want to do it? Fine. Just freaking do it without the silly unveiling. Mick Taylor DOES sell tickets. Give him more to do. If there is one thing that unites Stones fans, it i

Quotereg thorpe SCREEN legend Joan Collins has hit out at The Rolling Stones — for wrecking British society. The Dynasty star said the wild antics of pop stars in the 1960s and ’70s had led to a general loss of good manners. She said: “It was just accepted that you had to be rude and not really care about anybody except yourself. “I think a lot of it had to do with the Beatles’ and Stone

Nicky Hopkins - I think it could be fair to say could have had at least as big a beef with songwriting credits as Mick Taylor did. He was pivotal as was Mick Taylor did for melody, counter-melody, and feel and trills and the whole bit...he was very much a Rolling Stone - musically - for me...he was there for the Golden Age and hell when I heard "Following the River" it brought it all b

for all of the drama, disappointment (on my part anyway) about how it is ending etc....pales in comparison to the music. Holy shit there just is not an emotion, a thought, a feeling that cannot be enhanced or even focused by a select Stones song. I just started putting on outtakes, rare tracks, and it is still amazing and mind blowing what this band was about. So yeah I bitch a little bit...

Instead within the next week they should try to record 2-3 of their very best ideas - if they have any - ala Muscle Shoals cut them in a day or two rough and ready in the studio and then debut them and release them live and on radio, YouTube whatever...that would be enough if they have any gas left in the creative tank.
