I had been thinking maybe Keith has been taking it kind of easy, but I have not kept up with him that much. Ronnie is so talented and so stupid. Leaving Jo, doing all that stupid stuff, ruining his marriage. Very silly and sad

From Tim Ries' most recent Blog entry:

TORONTO REHEARSALS
"The rehearsals here in Toronto are off to a fantastic start. Everyone is in a good mood and the band is sounding tight. I'm especially pleased with the new horn arrangements we've added to some Stones classics. I really think the fans are going to love the horns we've added to "When The Whip Comes Down". And the new horn intro on "Star Star" really makes it swing."

WTF!!!
Andy Snitzer RETURNS?????
AND NOW THIS????

I never liked the horn section,maybe one sax and that´s all like in the ´81 tour.This tour rumour turned into a horrible joke.Yes,bring back Ernie Watts,Jim Price and Cindy Mizelle Fuck you Gazza, Will ya?

If they really add horns to When The Wip Comes Down and Star Star it´s the beginning of the end and clearly a sign of Keith´s losing his touch. Shit!

But as I said maybe is a horrible joke... you made a grown man cry

I'm actually with Ian on this one. Mick said he was always writing during a SAL interview a while back. I'm sure Keith spends some time writing music as well. The Stones can all record music at their homes and send tracks to each other and work on them that way. Then there are unreleased/unfinished songs they could work on...Once the songs are written and roughly recorded they only have to meet for a short time to really produce them and put the finishing touches on 'em.

I've heard little evidence in the last decade to suggest this.

From what I understand, there won't be a Rolling Stones studio album in 2009. Next year is more realistic.

The gradual disappearance of most of their post-1970 catalogue from the shelves of late would suggest that Universal are gearing up for a reissue series in the near future, however.

Hopefully that will include bonus material, because if it doesn't, you'd have to question why they bothered investing in it.

Great idea except if you notice ITunes lately will show those songs as "album only" which pisses me off.I use a Russian site for downloads at 15-19 cents each because Limewire etc is now so full of viruses. The Russian site works and although mp3 for most tunes my old ears (defeaned by Stones concerts etc) cant tell the diff. Its very secure site too and never ripped me or friends off although sometimes new releases are a week or so behind.Heres a link:

Ronnie Wood threatened with axe

Monday, 16 February 2009

Ronnie Wood faces being axed from the Rolling Stones because of his drinking.

The 61-year-old rocker - who has been treated for alcoholism several times over the last 30 years - has been warned to curb his partying or risk being banned from a proposed autumn tour of America with bandmates Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "All the band have to have a compulsory pre-tour medical to make sure they can get insurance.

"Ronnie failed his medical for the 2002/2003 tour because he was drinking seven times the recommended number of alcohol units a week. He had to spend months drying out at a clinic in Arizona.

"There are worries that could be the case again this time."

Ronnie was most recently treated for his alcohol addiction last August at the Life Works clinic in Surrey, England, following a 10-day drinking binge in Ireland with Russian girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, 20.

If he is banned from touring, Ronnie risks losing out on hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The 'Satisfaction' rockers' 'Bigger Bang' world tour, which took place between August 2005 and August 2007, was the highest-grossing of all time, generating $558,255,524.

The group were also named the highest-paid private performers last year, commanding a staggering £3.5 million per private show.

Not surprised about the warning.
VERY surprised about the term "Autumn Tour".

This is the best news I've read in a while: the possibility that the core of the band is at least open to the idea of touring without Ronnie. Before anyone gets upset, I don't wish the man ill — but I've got serious doubts about paying hundreds again to see him flail uselessly for two hours.

Putting someone like, say, Wachtel in the mix would spare Keith from demonstrating his own useless flailing.

Sooo......if both Ronnie and Keith basically just flail for a couple of hours on stage each night.....is that really the Rolling Stones anymore? Sad

Mick is always "on", and so is Charlie, but..... Undecided
