Well first it was ... <they have no interest in making another record and they never will>

Yeah. Five or seven years ago that was probably a fair comment. Keith has even admitted in recent interviews that he considered retirement after the end of the 2007 tour.

Sounds just like this non existent Keith album that was never going to happen, eh? Even as recently as this summer.

Then when we find out they wrote it together it will be <Keith didn't hardly write anything for it and Mick basically carried the whole writing and creative process>.
How will you
find that out, exactly? By Keith spinning some yarn in an interview in a year's time saying 'it was just like when Andrew locked us in a room all over again' ?

Gazz ... Sure Keith thought about retiring.. but he also stated it was more or less an off-the-cuff comment and although the thought was there in his head an an option or possibility it was nothing solid and it sure was never seen as anything definite.
Keith finally did release his solo album that technically..he had been working on for ten years... as it turned out (and talking about it for four ... what was I supposed to believe?... By the same token if The Stones mentioned on and off they were working on an album for four years I'd be saying the same darn thing and would be every bit as skeptical lol (it was getting ridiculous)
As far as to who wrote what or who will wrote I can only go by their producer, Mick, Keith, and Charlie who gave candid commentary on how it did (or will) go down and by who were all there .. not folks who speculate based on ideas they have created in their own head. I have to go with who is / was there and what they are saying (unless there are insiders that were there who say differently...which has not happened or been the case .. All that.." Keith lost his writing chops and Mick wrote almost all of A Bigger Bang" originated, and is coming from one / two places .... people on this message board and maybe a few on one other who actually know absolutely nothing about what really went down and are just like the rest of us ... They have no evidence or inside word on any of that Lol... yet they are saying that ...well... 'just because'...?? ...>> But I know.. I know...am the crazy one for thinking anything different.
