that's a long time Gazza... are they going to lock him up? doesn't make sense to me... that somehow they can make him stay sober for that long, what would 9 months from now be to almost two years plus from now? There's more to this than Ronnie. He is just the obvious... Keith was in horrible condition the last leg of the tour... As much as we talk about The Stones replacing Ronnie, they need at least one competent guitar player upfront... and right now they have zero... Time is not on our side. i'm not trying to be a downer, i'm just being realistic. I liked seeing the Stones that were a high speed train wreck about to happen, that was a thrill... but I'm not going to see the little engine that could version, that would be lame... If they can't tour this year by September, it'sb'c of Keith and Ronnie's health, Mick's willingness and of course the bottom line of money... one thing I know they aren't considering ,is fans like me.

I think there IS more to it P.
I think they realize one more will be it and they are aiming for the 50th Anniversary. What a great feat that would be.
Can they do it? Time will tell.

Does anyone remember how GOOD Keith looked at the Scream awards??!!! Doesn't speak to his playing capabilities....but damn! Where is that thread???

I agree. Their is more to this. Waiting doesn't make them better. Not sure it's just Ronnie. Not the economy. Don't wanna say Keith can't play. But this does seem strange to put it off for one more year. Don't think they are specifically waiting for the 50th anniversary. If tehy could go out on the road this year I think they would.

Charlie lets Mick and Keith do all the talking cus "they think they still have something to say"!! Charlie is so fucking cool and funny. and "ronnie is quite a problem." He has it right--doing the smaller venues--"its about the music, not the money"--Charlie is putting into action his words, unlike his bandmate who, I believe, once said "talk is cheap."

if this impending tour becomes a reality, we must realize the Stones will want/need the extravaganza--let's just hope they mix it up with some smaller gigs along the way.

But this does seem strange to put it off for one more year. Don't think they are specifically waiting for the 50th anniversary. If tehy could go out on the road this year I think they would.

They're not necessarily putting it off for "one more year". They weren't, in all likelihood going to go on the road this year until probably around September, as usual. "2011" doesn't necessarily mean "September 2011". They may tour several months earlier than that. If things have been put off primarily because of Ronnie, that could mean a postponement of a few months. It only takes one reason to postpone a tour, and the 'leaks' to the press over the last few weeks would suggest that Ronnie has been the problem. If Keith can't play in 2010 and the econmoy is fucked, then neither of those are going to necessarily improve dramatically by 2011 for it to be of significance.

The press release issued by Bernard Doherty when he denied Charlie was quitting specifically mentioned that the band were making plans to commemorate their 50th anniversary as a band. That, to me, equates with a tour starting in 2011 and going through to summer 2012.

I don't see the big difference between that and a fall 2010 start. I still say their is more to it than Ronnie not being fit.
