According to "VoodooAllie" on Shadoobie Land Message Board, Blondie Chaplin is scheduled to appear at the Los Angelas California club The Mint this week. He is supposeably scheduled there for March, 23 of this year as well.
So it seems at the present, Blondie was not included in the recording sessions at Micks in France this week.
That is good. All we need is Keith, Ronnie, and some-times Mick playing those guitars in the studio. For Back-up Vocals we got Bernard, or maybe Daryl as well holding down the ..."fort".

I see you don't like Blondie. My news may not always be great, but it is credible and never is just "hear say". That is why I rarely bring any goodies. Most goodies are non-sense.
I agree. We don't need blondie or any other guitar player for that matter in the studio.
I do like Jamie on Bass in Anyone seen My Baby though.

He does sing back-up and play back-up guitar on stage and off stage for the Stones.

Blondie ain't no fool. Why would you say that? From what I hear he's a great guy. But I agree that he's not needed. |

Blondie is hardly really needed too much when recording, although I guess they'll use him at some point.
He'll be on the tour, though because Keith relies on him. End of. |

How about Waddy Wachtel? He did play most of the leads on B2B after all... |

I think the Stones have had enough flak with personnel down the years who have had dubious under-age sexual interests without bringing Waddy into their touring line up.
Next thing, they'll be bringin' back Billy Preston to do the cock-dance with Mick again! |

Maybe Blondie will add percussion of backing vocals in the final mix. |

Ian - yeah, I know who he is, as I've run into him a few times, and he's actually a real swell guy to be honest...
but teh thread would've been much more interesting, had it have been about Blondie - Debbie Harry - dont you think!?
Doctor Prescribes, Blondie Supplies... Is he still off the wagon with the recreation?
Cheers. |

Chuck will be on-stage with the Allman Brothers tonight at the Beacon Theater in New York. This doesn't mean that he will not be on the new Stones studio release. He's flying into New York from France.
No need to hear the Chuck bashing...we all know how so many of you feel. In my view, he does a fantastic job with the band. I just thought I'd give eveyone who cares, a heads-up about the show tonight. Tomorrow night, as well. |

I find the Chuck-bashing tiresome. He's an easy target because fans dont like to bash their 'heroes' and see too many faults in them.
Chuck's prominent role in the band and the mix on stage is down to one factor above anything else. The Stones' decision to give him that role. Whether they're up to the job themselves is a side issue. He is their employee. The bottom line is that the buck stops with them, no one else. |

Blondie is an asset to the organization. He did work with the Beach Boys back in the day.
If he deserves anything, he deserves credit for helping to move the projects forward.

Thanks Gazza, I appreciate your Chuck comments. Every time I refer to him on Stones boards, I grab my protective gear and duck. That was cool, the stuff you said. I've never understood how people can blame a hired sideman, a player for hire...it's as if people think the Stones have no control over their sound or mix. I think it's fair to say that if Keith or Mick hear a sound, or a note, or a mix, or a tone, that they don't like...it won't be played again. EVER. Yes, I DO give them that much credit. Thanks again. |

Sure, Chuck is an "employee", but he's bee quoted a few times calling himseld the "musical director" of the Stones, before quickly correcting himself and saying that Keith is in fact the musical director. That was in a 94 interview in RS with the "Masks" cover. He's said it repeatedly in fact. My point being that he doesn't seem to view himself as a "sideman", hence maybe the pointless plink plonking all over the place with little respect for what these songs once sounded like. Strange thing is that Clifford got kicked out after 90 because he had "crossed the line", I guess it wasn't musically but rather personally...Keith's person. So he canned a guy for personal reasons and kept a "convenient" guy who spoils the music for most of us. |

I think Chuck's role has certainly become more prominent in recent tours, to be fair, and Keith's as "musical director" less so.
I guess the reason for that would be down to Keith himself. Whether its some kind of physical decline, too much booze or simply because the style of show theyre presenting now requires more of a "polished" sound is a matter of opinion. I'm not saying I'm a big fan of Chuck's style or anything, but whatever role he or any sideman has in the sound that the band has is down to the Stones themselves allowing it to happen.
They're obviously content with it, so if he's too prominent in the mix or his style is too fussy, then its because the band allow him to and theyre happy to keep it that way. Whether they are simply too complacent to change it or they're entirely satisfied about it is for them to know and us to guess. Keith is an experienced musician with a good ear. He's not stupid. My own opinion is that they're too long in the tooth now to make radical shake ups in the band and the way it sounds. They've come to rely on what Chuck does for them. I think thats more a reflection on the Stones than Chuck or anyone else. |
