I've thought about it for a long while, and in my personal opinion, they should quit if Charlie retires on a permanent basis. They survived losing Jones, Taylor and Wyman, but losing and replacing Charlie is just not an option. |

Keith was quoted as saying that the band could go on w/o Charlie. But I wouldn't bother seeing them. |

I remember reading that quote, still hard to believe Keith made that as he had said for so many years that without Charlie there is no stones. I have to agree with the old Keith. |

Yeah, health permitting, I suppose they could do another huge-ass tour in the future w/o Charlie (or Charlie might change his mind and go yet again) in order to cash in.
However, if this is the last gigantic tour, and I wouldn't mind if it is, would you guys go see them solo if they ever had other projects, or if they collaborated with someone else, as side projects w/o a Stones-name to it? Or are you not interested in anything but Stones as we know them? I know some people here have seen Keith solo but spurn the concept of Mick solo. I think that's BS, but it depends what they are playing.
Don't say No too impulsively, cause I don't think any of us can know how badly we may or may not want to see anything of that sort if we are suddenly struck with the concept of NO-MORE-STONES-EVAH! |

I think that when Charlie got sick, Keith thought Charlie may die and he realized he wasn't ready to quit the whole thing. He was making comments about him and Mick being the "only ones left" and writing ABB, and Charlie wasn't dead yet, so I think it was him sort of not wanting to have to end it. THe question is whether they would try to pass themselves as the "Rolling Stones" with another drummer or not. |

I would possibly go to solo tours or a "Jagger-Richards" concert but as above, I wouldn't go for the Sones sans Charlie. I prize loyalty & high quality. |

I see what he was saying there, and I would want him and Mick to continue to make music together, but with no Charlie it shouldn't have the Stones name on it. They could do a Page / Plant type album and tour if it comes to that.

Retire.

Retire. Its time. Do a massive free show some where and say good bye properly. There will be no more albums. No new music. Why bother? Just do a big finale and release some rare shit every Christmas. |

I'd absolutely go see Mick solo or with someone else backing him. Doing Stones material or otherwise. And "The Mick and Keith Show" would also draw my presence. But KR solo?? No fucking way! You couldn't pay me enough to go see him. I'll go to the ends of the earth for Mick, but the absence of KR would not bother me in the least. The only thing he's good for is being important to Mick.

"Quitter" Charlie? That's unfair, Joshy. You're much better than this. |
