Drop the *horn* section?
How about drop the *vocal* section and get a real piano?
In all seriousness...
make a good album. Please?

Mick Taylor - yes please
no, wait - studio album (esp a really really good one). I loved Mick Taylor's playing in the 70's, but let the past be the past - its not like he can still do that
loose the horn section? why would anybody want that? its not like every song is saturated with horns - and the Stones best quality of their music is being able to add different instruments - I mean, what would Brown Sugar be with Ronnie's soloing?
Hell, I was happy just to see how much they didn't rely on backup this tour (you'd think as time goes on they'd be using it more as a crutch) - but here they relied on it much less than Babylon, so I don't see why you'd want too complain about it. Take the horns completely out & this band would've gotten boring just as long ago as Springsteen did (maybe that's what missing from the new material) |

A new album, of course! New songs, a new tour, etc. |

Release a great album filled with blues and rockers. |

1. Sensible ticket prices
2. no elitist and overpriced fan club packages. Give all fan club members a decent crack at good seats
3. A new studio album. Ideally a good one.
4. Random setlists, with less emphasis on greatest hits
5. No more stadium shows
6. The entire band being sober and able to perform consistently.
7. A workable system where hard to find tickets are not "mysteriously" all going to brokers,scalpers, package travel companies or members of the crew who sell them off to the highest bidder.
8. More blues.
9. Slave
10. A regular (but not overly demanding) touring schedule where the Stones continue as a working band and not one that doesnt exist for two years in between tours. |

Great list, Gazza! |

Outstanding thinking, Gazza! That program should satisfy the fans, especially the hard-core, long-standing, faithfull fans who have always defended the Stones against naysayers.
Points 1, 3, 6 and 10 are particularly necessary if the Stones want to stay what they are and not "go Vegas".
As a relatively new fan (I didn't follow their tours before Licks), I was impress by the energy and pleasure they bring to the scene. I didn't see a "nostalgy" act, or at least not only a nostalgy act, it was more like seeing history in the making. That's why I want to see them remain a live, strong, creative band.
But if there's no new album, where's creation? If the prices are too stiff and go only to the rich and often old segment of the market, how can they attract new fans? Or keep a large popular audience? And if they disappear for 2 or 3 years between outings, it's hard to keep a band alive.
But as long as the Stones come back soon, that they stay creative and don't charge too much, that's all we need. Oh yes, and mix the setlist a bit more! 
Bill and/or Mick T would just be the cherry on top of the cake. And the horns are there from the beginning on several songs: Bitch, Rocks Off, Live With Me, Brown Sugar...
Of course, it all depends on how they feel like. You can't make a donkey drink if it's not thirsty! 
(I hope I'm not mixing metaphors too much... I'm writing and translating at the same time.) |

I think it's high-time for a new album. We need some new tunes to groove with. |

The little kids in front of TRL in NY yelling to play the No 1 Stones video, that just beat out Beyonce. The Stones with the hottest album in all the land. |

Mick Taylor. And yes he CAN play as well as ever.
Dump fuckin' Sideshow Bob and all the excess crap.
Fuck Chuck. Mac is still around, as is John Paul Jones.
Here's your lineup.
Mick Jagger
Keith Richards
Mick Taylor
Ron Wood
Charlie Watts
Bobby Keys
Mac or JPJ
Now get your asses in the studio. Now. |

I'll go with KR210's suggestion, but they should roll dice to figure out who plays bass:
Snake eyes: Keith plays bass
Box cars: Taylor plays bass
Anything else: Ronnie plays bass
They should roll the dice for every song every night.
Now that would be something new--but about as likely as those non-elitist ticket prices, and not even as good an idea.
(I think the line up with Wood on bass appeared in the John Phillips album for a song or two.) |
