I'll ask again .. perhaps Gazza knows.. he is usually pretty good in knowing their time line or tentative schedules.

Are they planning on continuing some more recording (week ...10 days.. a couple weeks?) before The South American tour and are they all still in London? Is their even any time to get a couple more weeks in recording for them?

Ian

I havent been keeping track of where they are and havent heard anything but I very much doubt they'll do much in the way of recording (if any) before they start rehearsals for the next tour leg.

They could do another week or two but nothing more. They will need a solid 10 days to rehearse and brush up for the live gigs and they don't have much wiggle room there. Perhaps another week or so .. We shall see?

Not one spotting, sighting or shot of them during Christmas ... very strange, indeed. The media knows when to keep them under their hat and they usually have a solid reason for that... perhaps they are busy on and off?


Are they all still in London ... A good indication of what is still going on ..or is going to take place in the first half of January may be the location of Keith's guitar tech .. Pierre de Beauport.. Is he still in London?

If all The Stones are still in London (including Pierre de Beauport) .. then it is fairly safe to assume they are going to record a bit in January or may be continuing recording off and on as we speak about it ..

Does anyone know their where-abouts? They may be working on it off and on through-out the holidays and may record a bit in January (couple weeks) .. before The South American rehearsals if they are all still in London.

Any clue?

Or maybe they just spend Christmas like normal people do, privately, with friends & family.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Almost always (last 6 or 7 years) they would be covered by the press or at least one of them would be at least saying hello in a snap shot or status / tweet or traveling some where over the holidays. This year.. the press has given them a pass..

I'm not saying they are in the studio 'all day every day' .. and certainly they were with their families just as well as each-other over the holidays ... What I was saying is I do think they are def. working on something on and off and so the press lays low for them and so have they this holiday season is all I was saying.

We've got this thread going for us, which is nice.

Could be ... but I'm kinda doubting it. None of them have been shot or gave any public hellos or made any statements via social media in over a month? (besides the clip they did from within the studio about the SA tour).

Don't get me wrong.. I am not saying they are all hiding under ground working every single day on the album.. What I'm saying is that I can bet they are together here and there writing / recording/ or doing demos for said product.

They have laid very low.. all through the holiday season and for a month now.. no pictures.. no nothing. You see ... The Press / Media knows they are working on something and don't want to be photographed.. so ...since The Stones are still regarded and <under good standing> with the press they don't post or seek them out during said times. That's how it goes. ..(Now again .. I'm not saying they are together every single day or completely .. but seems like they are definitely purposefully keeping under wraps).

Besides.. Look ...they cannot start all major writing and recording in April and expect an album due in fall ..no way. My guess is they are getting a good start on things right now ..Then they will finish in spring and in early summer and mix it during the summer for a fall / late fall release. By the time line involved with the SA tour.. they would almost <need> to be in the studio or somewhere working on it..here and there ... it would only make sense.

If they want an album out in late summer / early fall...they darn well better be moving on it as we speak. Remember.. all of February  and March will be tied up .. (I SERIOUSLY doubt.. at their age they will even dream about recording on the road while on tour.. no way).

Dudes need to bust a move.
