Wonder who is playing the SG...could it be Mick T's?

Could be Jaggers, he played one in 81/82

Ronnie has been using one a few times as well.

I don't remember seeing Ronnie or Mick T using an SG. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing Keith play one either.

Er, what about the entire 1969 tour? Take a look at the Ya Ya's cover.

Here's, maybe, a grandiloquent question: Why has it been so difficult for them to produce records the last two or three decades? During the last fifteen years they have only managed to release one studio album ( A Bigger Bang, 2005). Has it anything to do (just guessing) with the minimal amount of time they are willing to spend in recording studios? Or the generous amount of time they are willing to spend on all sorts of other activities between tours?

Thanks to with sssoul, we never have to ask ourselves questions like these. There is
always the Ratbag Boogie threads to turn to (Ratbag Boogie

Here's Ronnie with a blue SG in Sheffield and Bergen in 2006 (thanks to Skink for
posting it in the first place)






Wow, Ronnie's is sweet! Now find me one with Keith playing an SG!

And Mick Taylor of course, on a picture by Nevis Cameron:

I think it has more to do with that they have nothing much left to say, musically. They've done a lot, said a lot, and much of it was brilliant. But in the last 20 years, many of their lyrics sound contrived, and musically uneven, at best. Don't get me wrong, I love the band, they have meant a lot to me and I hope they record more and tour more. I just don't think that have a lot left to say. I'd frankly rather have them covering some blues and r&r than trying to put of stuff like 'Streets Of Love'. They would play the blues or Chuck Berry or Eddie Cochran with more fire.

They have left over material from ABB and Charlie is involved? I doubt that means anything. If Charlie is there they're doing NEW RECORDINGS.

Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Mick Taylor doing overdubs on the Exile and Some Girls material is not 'the band' working, it's individuals working on whatever. And to what degree is obvious.

Eh? I know Charlie is an original member, but he's still the drummer. He'll drum on whatever Jagger/Richards say he'll drum on. I mean, that's like calling Ronnie Wood a major songwriter--true in one sense, but not in the Stones sense.

Right. And that looks like the same little white dog who was merely a puppy at Toronto rehearsals a few years back. Very cute dog!

Agreed. But it's worth noting that the 71-year-old Bob Dylan, just as an example, still has a lot to "say" ... he has released several critically-acclaimed albums in the past few years and will release his 35th studio album, Tempest, on September 11.

Similarly, the great bluesman whom the Stones have always admired have retained their intensity and creative fire into their elder years; just look at Buddy Guy, for example.

The lack of creative output from the Stones in the past 20 years is disappointing and was by no means inevitable.

Neil Young is another example of someone who has a lot to "say" still. Love him.

Looks like it's Jane Rose, his manager. Well this is a nice birthday surprise for me! I am also surprised there isn't a little more enthusiasm here, it looks like they might actually be doing something.

It seems Keith cant go anywhere without Jane Rose... maybe he does not feel secure alone around Mick.

I'm sorry, but are you still in high school? These kind of comments are so juvenile. I repeat, known of us know why Jane Rose was there, and who the heck cares?
