Reply #26 - Aug 20^th, 2008 at 7:34pm I expect Keith was there seeing if him and Jack could achieve the "ancient form of weaving". Audition, that's what it was. I could actually see it happening, except Jack White isn't English, and that's a killer.

I am sure there are a few representatives, management, or family members or at least a few other people than only Keith and Jack that know what it was about and may of given something away about it by now (I realize this only took place week ago, but still they could of been talking about doing something for a while. Also, it does not take long for info to start to be let out especially in todays "internet age"). Thought someone might of let more out, or knew about it that may of said something by now is what I meant.

I think we both agree, it was not to simply just to have a doobie and talk about the success of Shine A Light. Being as who the two people are, their brief history (few years), the physical distance between them at the time, and the short time frame (suppose ably not even over night) Keith took to flying to see him and then stayed for a day, there was a definite purpose to it.

Ian

Is it possible for you to just be okay with not knowing or having to know. Maybe it was just a visit for a million personal reasons that are no ones biz or maybe Ronie is dead and they are covering it up, let's just speculate til we lose our everlasting gobstooper of hard ons!!!

But, butt, if that were the case.... he would not have left prior to midnight, would he not, therefore my theory of returning the guitar, or picking up a guitar, or having a paper (err contract) signed, Might be plausible

OMG NO!!!!!!

Bite your Stones tongue. Keith would not sell Ronnie up the river like that. At least not this soon for cryin out loud.

Regardless please, please, please watch what you say. I mean, I just LOVE Jacks playing but he can't replace Ronnie on tour, or much in the Studio unless it is as a guest here or again to my approval (not that I matter one ioda but I think I speak for almost anyone here or eles where). Any way I certainly don't want anyone getting any ideas...

probably because it was nothing worth talking about?

Nah. Even in the internet age, its not as widespread as you make it out to be. Its just the public thirst for information tends to be more impatient and insatiable. Not every artist's every public or private move gets leaked and scrutinised in minute detail a la Britney Spears. And friends and employees dont leak everything for a simple reason - word tends to get back that they're unreliable and untrustworthy and thats why they get fired!

Keith manages to keep a low public profile for most of the time when he's not working with the Stones...and I doubt the reason for that is that he's sitting in his library for 11 months of the year.

No. They don't follow Keith's every single move like Brittany.

Really? You should see the latest post here on how U2's latest album already leaked out via a cell phone recording from Bono's personal stereo... which was captured by a fan outside his house I believe...then it was posted on Youtube.com just after...... Need I say more.

Well yes, we certainly know that. But don't think for a second he would not SERIOUSLY think, or possibly actually commence to joining The Rolling Stones if for some un Godly reason they asked him.

Lets not kid ourselves. Maybe not every single living person, or musician would do it ...but I think Jack very well think long and hard about that one.

And that proves what? Precisely nothing. You want to give one example of something leaking - I can reply with a thousand examples of things that dont.

Someone walking past Bono's house and making a low fi unlistenable piece of crap (of what may not even be the finished album) is hardly tantamount to an album "leaking out". And bootlegging is an entirely different world from some lackey feeding some info to the media.

Pretty much every U2 album in the last decade has been subject to something like this (which makes you wonder if some of it isnt a publicity stunt). Hasnt happened once with the Stones in their entire career.

The Steel wheels stuff that was offered on here two years ago this month only came about because Chuch Magee's widow passed it on to a fan who generously chose to share it. Seventeen years after the songs were recorded. The ABB stuff I unearthed was copied from someone using a shared storage facility with the Stones at Sterling Studios..it still didnt come out for two years afterwards...and the Voodoo lounge material only leaked because Ronnie Wood's son stole the tapes (Woody was the source for the DW outtakes as well, incidentally)

More cash??? Ronnie Wood was broke for a decade after he joined the Stones. He even had to start selling his paintings to avoid bankruptcy. Anyone replacing him would be a salaried employee and nothing more. If you think White needs or is going to get respect from the entertainment industry by jettisoning two hot and big selling bands to take a sideman role in the Stones, you're deluding yourself. The guy dances to the beat of his own drum. THAT is one of the reasons why he's the respected and sought after musician that he is.

I know, but the Raconteurs sound so much different. They still rock as hard, but they're just different. I loved the bluesy garage rock of the Greenhornes.

Maybe Keith dropped by to see how a guitar player writes decent tunes these days.Or he really was just in Tennessee to get some vintage Jack D for his bar.Or to see if White was interested in replacing Ronnie. Or if Jack knows where Willie grows his best weed.Or he was bored in the Hamptons and went touring.One thing for sure..in 11 hours at Jack's house not in a studio nothing creative took place we'll ever care about.
