I see no reason to believe that Mick and Keith have done more than fax each other since the "Shine a Light" activity.

I cant find it so hard to believe.

get Mick Taylor back in shape and in the band, Ronnie on bass and final tour announcement and damn it would be bigger than Star Wars.

I'm praying for NO another Tattoo  You. I think your talking sound right and as  far I know, extremely logic.

No. I am not speaking in sound/production what-so-ever. I am speaking of them digging through past albums and mostly older sessions to make up most of the album because they were in such a rush.

I am simply concerned all this gallivanting around the globe for them is eating up their writing and pre-production time so I am hoping another Tattoo You affair would not be needed in where they used almost all old material. I want it mostly fresh. Not left-overs that are worked up. Mind You, no dis-credit to Tattoo You. Tattoo You is a great album ...but that scenario to that extent was a one time deal.

Ian, what my expectation from the Stones, Is a fresh album, not another as they had already did.
I like Tattoo You.
But we're in the new so called milleniun, and maybe we as a Stones' fans deserve to get a decent album from them.

*I totaly "expect" a fresh new album of new stuff as well. TY is great but still ....in this day and age I'd expect new stuff mostly .....if not, might as well hang it up if ya can't write and record mostly new stuff anymore. I don't want left-overs. I want some NEW stuff.


But ..Gazza had said.. 'They wont promote it', when and who knows, the album will comes out.

He said they had did the same for ABB. All in the same year of the tour.

*Not really...Mick and Keith got together to write and started demos in June of 2004 at Micks and started writing stuff for ABB then ....and that album was relatively enough a fast put together album for them. It's now October ...I am assuming somethings been done between them.

Aside from the odd cricket match or Paris business meeting, there's been absolutely nothing to indicate any kind of interaction, let alone creative activity, in the Stones camp whatsoever. They are the personal equivalent of the Balkans.

There ya go. Ronnie, Mick, a pussy hound named Bill, Keith and Charlie.

And maybe Blondie playing guitar,Chuck on keyboards and Lisa dancing all over the stage!!!
Wait a minute...that´s actually the band!!!!!! 

Well Don Was is finishing up with Stone Temple Pilots on their new album (i am lookin forward to hearin it).

...and I don't think he's been with The Stones to my knowledge from his schedule lately ...so what "if" Jack White does actually have the job of Producing the next Stones album??

Is he up to that task??? He's never had that much weight on his shoulders. Will he be a good fit, or would he be too sheepish in letting them do everything their way? I can't see him stepping up to the plate and trying to sway them in any musical direction if they want to do things one way.

Would he be in over his head? Remember, he's relatively a young dude whos never really produced anyone close to that big (especially in the gravity of their name). Would he lack the back bone of actually running the show and suggesting/telling The Rolling Stones what needs to be done and how?

(not that I know Don Was ever truly put his foot down either However I am real pleased with the stuff he's done with them...but are we jumping from the frying pan into the fire with even MORE of the same in letting The Stones do it all THEIR way with out much push and kick in the butt???)

This may be a good point to ponder.


Ian

Well put, chances of that happening ? Close to zero !

Hehe, the second part is probably is the easy one

Jack White's current task is touring Europe with The Dead Weather.
Once that's done they're going to finish recording their second album.

Why not just get the whole band into the studio like the old days. Lots of booze drugs and me holding a gun? See what happens........
