I doubt it would ever come down to a SuperHeavy vs Stones choice. SuperHeavy has been on the cards for a while now so if Mick had any Stones plans he would have known not to let this interfere. Plus, it's highly unlucky SuperHeavy will actually tour because it would be difficult to get all five members free for an extended period of time. I think I remember hearing that Joss Stone is planning to tour her new album, although I'm not sure how true that is.

If they are to play at all it would be a few promotional gigs or maybe an appearance at the Grammys or something.

I know the Stones don't owe ME anything.
Frankly, my bank account can't afford too much these days.
But I don't know of ANY other act that can claim 50 YEARS AS A WORKING BAND!!
How proud it would be for us as fans and FOR THEM AS MUSICIANS to stake that claim with a small
Tour!
Stones legacy vs Superheavy??
No brainer for me IF it comes down to that choice.
Can't help my passion and will never apologize for it.

I suppose it depends on your definition of "working" band. IMO their legacy speaks for itself without another tour. I would rather see them live out their lives with as much happiness and health as is left to them.

If there is another tour, I hope you get a good seat. I won't be there. Keith's book did it for me.

Would you feel that way if I told you that Mick blew off the Keith and Charlie in December to go to India to work on Superheavy??

I hear things................

Don't know eg666 or exactly how "inside" he might be, but December was a while ago.

Since then Keith himself has spoken about meeting with Mick. The following appeared in his May interview with USA Today:

When Jagger and Richards, boyhood pals since the early '50s, met in New York a month ago, "Mick pouted a bit, as is his wont," Richards says. "I told him, 'It's water under the bridge. I want to talk about the future. We're larger than a little bitching here and there. It's only rock 'n' roll.' I love working with Mick. Maybe that friction that makes it work, that bit of sand in the oyster that makes the pearl."

'Course that's Keith talking, and there's been no corroboration from Mick, but at the very least it's a quote from a Rolling Stone...

It's as if he's a Trekkie but instead he goes to 1980's New Balance conventions. I'm really beginning to wonder if he's got something wrong with his feet or something because they're just shocking and he wears them EVERYWHERE.

'Course that's Keith talking, and there's been no corroboration from Mick, but at the very least it's a quote from a Rolling Stone...

If (and its a big if) he chose to go to India to work instead of 'meet' Keith and Charlie, whats the big deal exactly? If it didnt suit him, then its not significant.

Much easier to reschedule a meeting amongst four semi-retired musicians who mostly live within a few miles of each other than it is to get five musicians who live on three different continents together to work on an ongoing project.

Quite why this is worthy of analysis escapes me.

Plus, Mick spending time with Keith in late 2010 just after the publication of that book may not have been a particularly good idea....

cheers mates! Stinky post

The whole point is that it's not just more Rock N Roll. What's the issue with A R Rahman exactly?
And most of Ronnie's last album could be described as pretty cliché.

Isn't it better that Mick wants to do something new and potentially innovative at this point in his career rather than just trotting out a typical Stones album + tour to try and make some can that he doesn't even need?

I wonder will this thing even be commercially successful. Probably not, although the Rahman involvement could push it to be big in India.

The supposition, per a fairly reliable source, was that Keith traveled to England to meet with Charlie and Mick to discuss future Band plans. Further supposition is that Mick cut meeting very short to leave for India (for Superheavy work (?) pissing off Keith and Charlie.

Pure supposition. Shouldn't have mentioned it I suppose. IF true it really isn't a big deal amongst lifelong mates. But with time running out, any delay in getting these guys on the same page, is disturbing to me.

As for the video, it's okay. Not my cup of tea and I'd rather see new material from Mick with The Stones, but he's Mick, I love him and no one comes close to him. He's still got it.
