Yes, it's a bit of a disappointment... Well, for a old pro like Mick, a few lightweight songs for a comedy should take too long! One only hopes... |

How about a remake of Goddess in in the doghouse?
How about THAT? |

I was curious about the original "Alfie" and searched Imdb.com for details. You'll see that it must have held a lot of interest for Mick... and some food for thought!
Plot outline:
"Alfie is the ultimate Ladykiller. He is wonderfully successful with women. He also rarely gets emotionally involved with them. He has a series of reversals in which his health is threatened, he has a child who is adopted by another man, gets a married woman pregnant and must procure an abortion for her, and when he decides to settle down is rejected for a younger man."
A few memorable quotes:
Alfie: "Make a married woman laugh and you're halfway there."
Alfie: "My understanding of women only goes as far as the pleasures. When it comes to the pain I'm just like any other bloke - I don't want to know."

Jagger & Stewart go back years, I think the Ruthless People soundtrack, along Stewart working on Primitive Cool.
IMO, this is a great sign, and adds fuel to the fire of all four Stones working.

I don't mean to sound silly, but how exactly does it do that?! 
What on earth is our Mick doing writing songs with Dave Stewart?! Throw him out for God's sakes and let's lock the Stones in that studio in Paris! We're waiting for a new album you guys! |

Does anyone have solid confirmation that the Stones are really going into the studio? What is the source of that info? Please, not rumor I hope. |

I love these comments. Here's the way I see it...
Pete Townsend works on theatre, solo projects, and literally abandons the WHO to the point that they are a nostalgia act now, and he gets God like status.
Jagger is the brains behind another cash cow extravaganza of a production from 2002-2003 called LICKS, The Stones have a great run of shows, put out some new product. Eahc of them go on their own for some work, to keep their chops in place, and he goes out on a solo bent, and gets crucified for it.
Once the realization comes thru that like all of us, The Stones, collectively and singuarly work on projects to please themselves, won't life be easier? Enjoy the ride, people, and marvel at the fact that they are all still here to put out product. JB, you can light another candle at the Mick Taylor shrine for me....
Tell you what, today when Wacko Jacko is being arraigned, put on "State of Shock" just to get that Jagger vocal. |

Let's put it this way: the Stones are nostalgia for a long, long time. In the last 23 years they've produced not ONE decent album. Their glory days are over. I still enjoy the myth but to be honest: after Tattoo You it was over with the Stones as a creative classic album-producing band. In the seventies you went to the record shop totally excited. A new Stones album was THE event of the year. Nowadays you got to the shop with the thought: let's hope it isn't too bad. |

You speak the truth f505..of course we still love them and they will be the greatest, but after 81, it has been one disappointment after another..VL, I would point out, was an exception..pretty dam good. |

And Tattoo You was just juiced-up leftovers. So you really have to go back to the Some Girls sessions for the last quality Jagger/Richards compositions. |

Well maybe. Not necessarily a bad thing, but they're not quite as nostalgia as the Who. |

Don't you think that Mick's obsessioni with becoming a big solo star kind of ruined the "chemistry"?
I mean, don't you think that if he COULD have became a big star on his own (seems like he was awe-struck with Michael Jackson) he would've ditched the Stones and became another Phil Collins or Sting? I think he would've, but I'm sure he was very disappointed with record sales of his solo efforts.
I think he finally realized that people want to see him singing Stones songs, not solo songs. But...it seems as though that his little "experiment" on his own broke down the close relationship Keith and him had when it came to writing music TOGETHER. They just don't write together anymore -- it's either MY song or HIS song. Ego trippin'. |

Yes, that certainly started the personal "riff" in their friendship which obviously in turn effected the creative output. But Keith does not go without blame as MJ kept it together during Keith's heavy drug use days ...when Keith finally "woke up" he resented MJ's control of the band....but this was by necessity and perhaps not by choice.

Yeah, I guess you are right. Maybe at that time Mick got tired with all of the fighting and babysitting and wanted to experiment with something new.

I must be on the wrong web site.
I must still be the only obsessed fan here.
Let The Stones issue anything, collectively or singularly, to me, it IS the event of the year.

I think Ron is a disaster for the last 20 years. He completely lost it. |

Mick,
Get with Ron, Charlie, Darryl, and Keith and make some music that matters. |

No, I think that a fan of a band can and will state what he or she truthfully thinks about a band instead of acting like a sheep (no offense, Ben Gurion) that will say (or "baaaah") "Hey, anything and everything this band has done is A+ material, cheese-nuts!!"
And I'm also looking forward to a new album -- but damn, I'm not going to say that it will be great just because the Stones are doing it. Maybe afer a few listens I can judge that perception, but not before they've even entered a studio.
