The 50th anniversary is 2013, not 2012. Didn't you read the article carefully? Charlie joined in 1963, and 1963 plus 50 equals 2013. What is your problem, other than your difficulty with mathematics?
Everyone who agrees with their new theory of "starting 1963" is an idiot.
All you have to say to close the point is 39 licks. They themselves pointed to 1962 as the starting point forever.
Charlie's 50th is 1963 and I have no problem with them using that date as the 50th anniversary of the first complete lineup...but yes, this is revisionist history.
Um. If the first "complete" lineup was with Charlie then what were the lineups before? Inceptional lineups? Quasi-lineups? The Rollin' Stones lineups or pre-The Rolling Stones lineups? Dick Taylor and Tony Chapman were what, chump members? What about Stu? Maybe the real start of the band should be when he got booted out officially. Those gigs didn't mean anything then. They were inceptional gigs. Gigs that were live rehearsals. As opposed to taped rehearsals I guess.
Bill joined the band a month before Charlie. So why does the date for Charlie outweigh Billy Wyman...ohhhhh that's right, Charlie is on the cover of Rarities but Bill isn't. Somehow the Stones revised their history themselves to magically, or digitally, exclude him from a 1978 band photo.
So...the 1962 Stones don't exist...it was just the inception, whatever the hell that means, according to Keith.
And why does anyone take him serious? I know he's just being funny but it's not funny at all. It's just stupid.

yes, a sticky mess.
It's really no mystery. Why tour without an album to tour on? If you are going to go out in a blaze of glory you do it full throttle, not half ass. That is what is really going on here. Also probably hoping for some improvement in the economy before plunging in.
You're totally right...but I think we all intently understand that they had 5 years to prepare for this, so WHAT THE @#$%& HAPPENED?!
Ask hbwriter, who seems to have gone dark after teasing us with his hints of supposed insider knowledge.

The notion that at any time since a Bigger Bang a tour has been seriously considered is ridiculous. Every single solid piece of evidence has pointed against it.
So what you're saying is...there never has been a done deal. All these years.
Like, you know, Wow.
Well, it's nothing new, of course. All but one of us knew that all along.

Keith's line was funny. Unlike this thread, which is ridiculous.
Hi Teddy,
some time ago we talked about a possible Keef solo album keith ...do you think it's still possible?
"Yep. He's also back in the studio working in his own stuff. Playing well.(...) I believe Darryl, Ronnie and Charlie have all made contributions to Keith's new work, alng with Steve Jordan and Pierre. So not just the Winos.

I think it's probable unless it is deemed to interfere with the Stones. Because it's probable that the Stones will do some recording and perform a series of concerts in the next twelve months, just as was floated to the press.

Just think of how prepared they'll be though, if they decide to push it back to 2014 or 2015!?!

They'll certainly be well-rested.

Is the "band camping out for mutli-night runs in arenas, similar to Prince's recent stands in New York and Los Angeles(RollingStoneMag. page19&22)" really considered because Keith Richards' health issues or because it is less expensive for however is going to produce the expected but not signed yet tour? Tour travelling in 2012 isn't has tough as it was in 1969. The "camping" stuff put the burden of most of us the fans unless you live near the "camping".

I will tell you what is ridiculous, and that is the notion that some form of tour for the 50th anniversary year was never seriously considered since ABB. I will go one step further and say it was "a given" (In the minds of the band members) short of death or serious illness or injury to one of them that there would be some form of tour during the 50th anniversary year (July 12, 2012 through July 11, 2013) way back at the end of ABB. Having said that, I agree that there is no such thing as a "done deal" until the deed is done. Only in sixteen months (when all of this is in our rear view mirror) will we be able to consider saying "done deal".

Likewise.
I've also never understood why a band who we're told (ad nauseam) love performing so much have never even made a single public performance of any kind outside the confines of a mega tour since 1979.

backstreetboy, how much time do you suppose they need to break the news to Darryl?
I hadn't considered that I must admit...

The Stones may still do some shows, but the odds against are growing longer,
except for probably a club show in London on or about July 12, 2012, which they
need for the ending of the documentary. Small venue, blues standards, Taylor,
Wyman, maybe some other special guests, patterned generally on the White House
and Apollo shows.
(SupaRevy, who readily admits he has no special predictive powers.)
