Ok,
We all are wondering about the Stones and their current recordings but what about the bass player for these sessions?
Where is Daryl Jones? Is he going to be on this album? We know Mick and Keith have been playing bass during some of this process but who is to take this part on the actual recordings of these writings? Does anyone know of Daryl Jone's current doings? This could lend a hand at filling us in.

same as the rest of the auxiliary musicians. They dont need them as theyve been mostly doing demos or basic tracks.

PS - Ronnie Wood wasnt mentioned as being part of the recent recording session either.

Who fucking knows or cares? If they go to NYC, or LA or whatever, i betcha Darryl Jones (or as Mick introduces him - Dar-ry-l Jo-nes!!) will catch up then and play music by numbers. Same with Lisa Fisher and Blondie.

And, going by b2b, Waddy Wachtel and 40 other musos.

How i wish for the days of only 5 guys on a track, with Stu tinkling away also.

Well truly though Gazza,
We do not know if they are doing rough tracks, basic tracks, finished tracks, or what they have finished yet. Mick and Keith and Charlie could very well be going to New York just to mix the album. Most tracks could very well be already finished as far as their part goes. We have no idea what they have got done thus far. Do We?

well, the fact that Mick, Keith and (only eventually) Charlie were the only people mentioned as playing on these 'sessions' would suggest these tracks were/are not finished. It was also mentioned by Don Was that Mick and Keith were writing songs at that same time.

Somehow I cant imagine a Stones album merely ready to be mixed where much of the sessions consist of Mick playing bass, Keith as the only guitarist and fuck knows who playing the drums for most of the time as has been mentioned in recent press stories.

Lets face it, if the Stones are going to overdub guitar and bass parts on an album, they're hardly going to get Mick Jagger to do it. The idea of Mick overdubbing Darryl's bass parts for example is laughable.

Keith saying they are "Finishing" the album could mean anything. The songs could be written and demo'd. Theres most of the work done right there. "Finishing" the album early in the new year could take weeks or months. It doesnt mean its already almost all recorded.

EVERY Stones album as far back as I can remember has had sessions where Mick and Keith have got together to hammer out some rough demos etc. Then one or two others may come along for a while. I have several tapes of such sessions - they're far from 'finished' by any stretch of the imagination.

No Ronnie, no Chuck, no Darryl and hardly any Charlie at their most recent 'session' plus the fact that Mick and Keith were writing songs together within the last few weeks and trying out stuff where Mick plays bass, etc does not suggest to me an album near completion and ready to be mixed.

All good points. But I do think Ronnie was there as was just stated here on a post. Bill Wyman stated Charlie had just finished recording with the rest of The Rolling Stones (not just Mick and Keith. That is why I thought maybe they over-dubbed and finished up what was left from Licks recording on afterward and the newer songs they will record in the upcoming session with Daryl joining in and whoever eles. Just opinion here but I really think that alot of these songs that are suggested for placement on the new album are recorded, and ready for mixing. I do believe a last solid batch of songs will be recorded and added to them to choose from in the session upcoming. Then all will be mixed down and mastered. I think 60% of this album is done in terms of recording already. Trouble is it will be a long while before we get the recording era's the albums material is from. We will of probably already bought and gotten used to the album before we will be aware of that.
