LOL. Maybe it's a camera. He's often filming during the preparations for a tour, so it can be used in a documentary. So maybe, in a couple of years, in a documentary about the last Stones worldtour ever, we can see Keith apologize to Mick for being such an asshole for all these years and thank Mick that he always was a gentleman (in public) concerning other Stonesmembers, and admit that thanks to Mick they have made it for 50 years. Nevertheless, still love Keith, and hope for a decent "Little T&A" this tour. But that's wishfull thinking!

It's already started (..still though, I love this board dearly). Already many are saying there will be no new album because, oh well...let's see: ...they simply are not into it...or ...there's no time (I guess a full year isn't even enough time for their estimation)...or Mick and Keith don't truly get along well enough...or Keith has writers block....or there is not enough interest to their target audience... or Universal isn't truly interested in a new album because it probably will not sell well... or... they will have flooded the market with too many Stones releases if they release a new studio album (that one, has some substance...still I think they will schedule things accordingly to bypass such a problem) or...Mick will be too busy on his SuperHeavy group and will probably diss The Stones and their recording possibilities... or ... well, never mind...but you get the point


My guess is yes, they will record a new studio album (however possibly it shall be released and as well made available in a "new" way... some how?...? hmmm?) because IMO 1. They would not want to exactly repeat 2002-2003 Licks concept 2. They never wanted to be touted as a touring Nostalgia act....why would they start that role now? 3. Mick and Keith have mentioned getting into the studio with The Stones and/or doing more records with The Stones a few times within the past several months.

Charlie is holding a notebook, thats a good sign that he was taking meeting notes, possibly writing down dates? Charlie may have to rearrange his plans if there is are Stones events in the works! This is exciting, I'm salivating, hell yeah!

Might have just been sketching the inside of the meeting room.

What makes you convinced that they 'didnt want to be seen in public' ?

When did they 'meet in secret' ?

Having a business meeting with fellow band members is something they do at least once a year when theyre not working. Its not as if they need to issue a press release announcing that they'll be in the same building.

Mick is holding a book tha Keith gave him to read.

Mick and Keith are business partners and friends. They have known each other for 40+ years, and I doubt there is anything that happens between them that is surprising, including Keith's book and Mick's new group. They both recognize that the Rolling Stones is a world wide brand and they aren't going to do anything to hurt the brand. If you go to ther offical Rolling Stone site you find Keith's book and then new group quite promantely on it. If Mick was pissed at Keith or vise versa none of that would be on their web site. I would not surprise me in the least if all this "book controversey" isn't planned as a way to keep the brand in  the news as will as Mick's Super group. I understand that Keith's book might become a movie, don't be surprised if Jagged Pictures has a hand in that endevor, maybe behind the scenes, but they will be involved in some way.

I hope they at least produce one more album and maybe a short tour.

Think you'll find its you doing the 'spinning', Ian, not 'everyone' else - what with twisting fact-based opinion into 'negativity' and then taking a comment that Mick made ages ago (which you cant recall) into an assumption that there'll be a new record in a few months.

Mick hasnt done that many interviews in the last couple of years until a few weeks ago. I can only assume the interview you're referring to was on the Larry King one he did about 16 months back. In which case, what would you expect him to say on something like that? He's always going to give as diplomatic answer. If he'd said 'no', you can imagine the press shitstorm which would have nullified the whole purpose behind the interview to begin with. Likewise, he's been diplomatic and uncommittal about the Stones in his recent interviews about Superheavy - and even then, look at whats happened with his 'joke' about Keith and the Marquee.

The poor guy would be best advised not to do interviews. Or at least not mention the Stones in them. It appears there's an incredible amount of people- journalists and fans alike - who have at best a tenuous grasp of the concept of 'context'.

The "joke" from Mick is one of the best thing he has ever done in an interview. And I hope he will continue with things like this. Even Andrew Oldham couldn't have done it any better, look at all the attention it got. The press immediately picked it up, and fall for it.
All these years we had the diplomatic answers from Mick, and this was his subtle way to fool all of us. One word..Respect!!

It aint no Pdog and Riffy..but entertaining none the less..........

As exciting as it is to see them meeting, I wonder how long it will be before Keith makes his first predictably twat comment about Super Heavy and makes a play on the name like Super Dodgy or something sad like that. Keith never fails to be a twat at the most sensitive times.

But wait for the moment Mick decides to take his side gig on the road...Keef will be all over the place. And he would be right. On the bright side: Super Crappy isn't gonna cost me a dime.  Anyway: good marketing from Mick to confirm the bonus disc for Some Girls in an interview. Keeps moaners like me quiet (and happy).

I cant see that happening. I think he's already dismissed the chances of a tour anyway, by cryptically stating that everyone in the band has 'too many other things going on' or something similar.

To be honest, there isnt a market for it. Theyre TOO diverse a bunch to make it feasible. Whilst the CD might sell reasonably, if you were a fan of just one of the 5 acts involved, would you pay a lot of money to see them in concert, knowing that the performer you like is going to have a relatively minor role and that theyre ONLY going to be performing SuperHeavy songs?
