These guys dont get together for board meetings, or to just hang like they did in the 60s.
They get together to discuss Rolling Stones business, and from my guess the only business to discuss thats worthy of a joint meeting is a tour.
They dont make enough off making new music without a tour to discuss, and they dont seem to have a big interest in making new music unless they fell they have to, or one or more members feels its important, and we know who those member(s) are.
The only way they'll discuss a tour is if a promoter is ponying up the money and that isnt hapenning for 10 dates, IMO. To get these guys on the road, its a huge deal, think of the entourage they travel with, the private chefs, planes and trucks, staging, Ritz Carlton bills for whole floors, etc.
At this stage it takes passion AND money to make something happen, and I'm guessing money means several million for Mick and Keith, and I'm sure they cut Charlie in nicely and Ronnie as a partner must get something as well thats no small amount.
So, sounds like to me they had an offer to consider, and in my opinion between Keith's passion to go on the road, Ronnie's need for $ and his passion, and mick's needs, whatever they may be, they can once again convince Charlie to have a go and if Cohl or whomever came up with the dough, they'll have anotehr go at it, on a large scale, maybe not what we've seen, but enough to get the wheels of that machine in motion rolling enough to pay all those bills I mentioned.
Fingers crossed.

Rev, why do you now speak using the Royal "we?" I think I liked it better when you let your inner Rastafarian do the talking. I miss Jar-Jar.

So if the following are the two big questions:
Is SuperHeavy just a way of maximizing publicity for the Stones 50th?
Or is the Stones 50th just a way of maximizing publicity for Mick's new
venture SuperHeavy?
We think the answer is both.

Is this for real ? Looking at the pictures they are leaving through different doors. Are they really leaving the same office ?

And Keith's had a facial.
Really? Why? I would think the better the Some Girls remaster does the better the Stones 50th does. Very few Stones fans are interested in Super Heavy. Mick's even on record as saying it was a one time thing. Not his future path.Quote

Agreed, but there is one certainty (and everybody should reflect upon it):
The better SuperHeavy does, the better the Stones 50th does.
Simple as that.

If Bill's going to 'join in', then forget about any shows outside of Northern Europe...

I was hoping to read that Mick and Keith had settled their differences, but I didnt think Mick would go to THAT extreme!

What are the odds of one photographer catching them as they leave the building? It's not like the building is the Dakota in NYC where Lennon lived. It seems to me someone in the Stones camp gave the photographer advance notice the band would be at that location. Perhaps it was a photographer who works in the Stones organization.
Are there any other published photos of them entering or leaving past band meetings?
Mick and Ronnie have a very high profile when it comes to attracting the attention of paparazzi photographers. If theyre going to be out in public in London there's a good chance they'll be followed. Besides, someone even posted here the other day that he'd heard indirectly from Ronnie that a band meeting was imminent, so its hardly surprising that the press became aware of it.
Yes, I read that posting Gazza but the location wasn't mentioned meaning someone had to call or was called by the Stones Organization to give the exact location of the meeting.

as always, the media is trying to make a mountain out of an ant hill. let's not get ahead of ourselves or get too excited. a meeting doesn't necessarily mean they're going to tour. maybe they agreed not to tour? maybe they discussed the dissolution of the band. clearly there isn't much to this story if the author has to fill up space by discussing what they were wearing. sure it's good that they got together but we have no idea what they talked about. maybe they weren't even in the same room together. we just don't know.

They've probably been reading what's going on here
and decided to give everybody something to post about.

nothing royal about this "we" at all. nothing royal
about multiple personality disorder. at least not
in a this here time. in a this here time, we are
just so happy to mostly shut up and let The Rolling
Stones and SuperHeavy and maybe even the Winos do
the talking. we so much prefer their voices to our own.
later on some time, maybe, if all 3 bands are on hiatus,
and everybody getting bored and restless, maybe then we
let a thousand flowers bloom again, maybe then we let
all the clowns loose, but for the foreseeable future,
our one and only desire is to be your own personal
fox news babes. Fair and balanced.

That's the Rev I fondly remember. Nice to have you back. Me-sa sorry, Proud Mary, but I always got a kick out of Jar-Jar.
