Quotebv There are still quite a few wishful comments about shows later this year. My comment on this is the IORR news entry I wrote last month, it should still be valid. Apr 16: No Stones tour this year The Rolling Stones have been unable to reschedule their North America Tour 2023 into this fall, so there will be no Stones tour this year, according to trusted sources. If we know that for s

Quotekeefriffhards Yes it does strike me as odd too, very odd, especially as this is the year the new album comes out, and no valid explanation for no shows, points to it being a personal health issue, but then since the " No Tour " announcement we've seen Keith and Ronnie in good health, leads to one conclusion.. Nice of you to ask if I'm okay

you're making all of this up except for having seen Keith and Ronnie. You've also seen Mick but that doesn't count.

The only worthwile job a producer could do is try to get the best possible results out of the band so that it would merit having his name on it. That seems to be the winning constellation when hit records are made and how it was wit Oldham and Miller. If however you'd sign a big name to be the producer, there may be less of that incentive. Plus working with Mick and Keith nowadays must be an

Schubert is mildly funny playing up the cliche of a backward eastgerman on our state-funded local adaptation of "The Daily Show". Let that sink in without getting political. This project seems out of character for him, a bit like trying to follow in the footsteps of Olli Dittrich who excels at that type of thing. Wonder what Mick thinks about this

No tv - no marketing? No psychology involved at all??? It´s just empty - no relation what so ever? No communication? They don´t love the energy from the audience?

QuoteGasLightStreet Here's one source regarding Mick wanting to take what they recorded at his house and go into a studio: Only Mick still thinks you have to take things into "real" recording studios to really make a real record. He got proved totally wrong on our latest - at the time of writing - album, A Bigger Bang, especially, because we did it all in his little château

Since it's for the official website, it has to be ever so slightly pisstakeish to reflect their irreverent image. It suceeds anyway in not sounding like PR copy for aging millionaires.

I know what you mean but that raises a question what "marinate" is supposed to really mean with regard to songs. I could see a demo marinate a few years before the final track is put on tape. Brown Sugar however was recorded in 1969 and just came out a bit later. With SMU the way I understood was that they went into a different reggae-like direction with it that went nowhere but had pla
