UPI sources indicate that U.S. publications Newsweek & Creem Magazine along with London paper News of the World are preparing coverage.

Don't you find it odd that the band hasn't had a good album since 1981?

Caning is a bit harsh for men their ages, to be brutally frank about it. Caning can leave deep bruises and welts, which would take longer to heal on older men (even for a guy in good shape like Mick). No, they'd be best off with light floggings (suede floggers don't sting as much and don't leave many red marks) or spankings. But--all those punishments are probably old hat to these guys by now, so I suspect that their dominants need to be more creative.

Erm, UK slang . . .

When did I say there was 'no album' ? Stop twisting my words or making shit up.

All a bit rich considering your utter denial about Keith making an album until the day it was officially announced.

Vague statements about working on songs in the New Year mean nothing. Nor do tentative timeframes for the release of a record. No one's rushing them or badgering them for a release date but you, it would appear!

The fact that they're not spending much time together is irrelevant. They dont even have to be in the same continent as each other to make a record, let alone in the same room.

I've skipped most of this thread. Have I missed anything?

Delusional .. tell me something .. how can that be? ...because Ronnie said they are to start working in December on an album and then get back together in January? Because they already started on it in December Lol .. and they are all still in the same country.

Hell .. at least my theory has a basis .. your theory that they aren't recording has absolutely none.. yet I'm the one delusional?  What makes you so right? Just because you say they arent.. Im just going by what they said and what we already know for sure.

Yet Im the one delusional? .. How do you come to that one?

Tracks can be made with artists in different parts of the world. The recent Don Henley track with Mick...Mick wasn't even in Don's presence when he recorded the vocals.

It happens all the time.

Ian, look at what I wrote. I didn't say they aren't recording a new album but if I had to put money on it, it would be on a couple tracks like they have done for the last 10 years and I'll add to that and say that if they have got together recently it has more to do with Exhibitionism than a new album. You may be right and I hope you are because I would love to hear new stuff, but I don't have high hopes. As for the press, they don't give a crap about the Stones unless it's a slow news day or there is a scandal, a tragedy, baby news, or a wedding.

I'm going to drop some acid and re-read this thread. Might actually make sense that way.

>> Yes I've heard about Pro tools and overdubs .. but guy .. that is <not> how The Rolling Stones work on an album as far as recording the meat of the project.

The only time Mick and Keith were not directly involved in the writing process and recording together was Tattoo You... because it was simply an album comprised of collecting and sprucing up out takes.

In knowing how The Rolling Stones work on every single other album .. Mick, Keith, Charlie (at least are always present during the meat of the sessions).

I don't know how else to say this but my gosh .... You reach for everything against the fact ...when it comes to them recording... now it appears you are reaching to or pointing things toward they may not even be working on the album 'together' at all when they try to create it and could potentially do this while all in different countries (?) .. and that has no basis.

Look ...Here is what we know for sure A. The Rolling Stones are planning on a new studio album   B. They have already started on it  C. They planned on working on it this year   D. They were all in London working on it previously and they are all still in London as far as we all know.

Reports are they worked very hard on it for a few weeks ..
Ronnie said they were to work up until Christmas and then get back together in January on it.

That is what we know for certain thus far.. Some times.. <it is what it is> Some times it's not always 'something else' ...some times things are what they are lol. Just as per our discussion as to who worked on what and how much and who wrote what on A Bigger Bang .. Gazza .. <and people> See here ..>> I'm just going by what they say and what is reported and the facts that we currently know for sure.

Same is true right now. I'm not the one delusional or half baked.. fuck Im just going by the facts of what we know for sure and what they say lol (not sure why so many here have such a problem with me following those lines all the time).

And anyway .. Like I originally said ... I wasn't saying 110 % for certain they were working on it.. I was simply saying 'my guess' is that they are .. I was simply saying there was a very good chance of that...and odds are much more of that than against it. . yet everyone jumps on this bandwagon of thats crazy .. they dont even need to be in the same country together make an album (which is not realistic .. no not all of them at every juncture but fwuck ya can have each of the four of them at opposite ends of the planet and expect them to get an album out.. that isnt realistc)

Ian

Some new great material seems a little more urgent today.
