WYMAN QUITS LIFE ON ROAD Oct 9 2004
[www.mirror.co.uk]
BILL Wyman said last night he is quitting touring with his band - at the age of 67.
The former Rolling Stone will say farewell to fans on the current Rhythm Kings tour.
On his website Wyman said: "I have a young family... I am missing out on so much of their growing up.
"I'm a musician and I still get off on that. I have learned though that there's a lot more to life than just music."
The former rock bad boy quit the Rolling Stones in 1993.
This week he said he would rejoin them for a final gig - and has not ruled out one-off live appearances.

maybe i am reading this wrong, but I see it as saying Bill Wyman will re-join his current band the Kings for some one off shows, not the Stones. |

May be I am reading this wrong but I
think Wyman means he will re-join the rhythm kings for one off performances and a final gig, not the Stones. |

Bob:
That's the way I read it the first time -but as I read it again, I believe he was talking about a final Stones gig. Whether that could/would ever come to pass is another question entirely. But, interesting that he would put it out there as a possibility. |

If he joins the Stones, I hope they do Emotional Rescue. Go out in a blaze of glory. |

Doing a one off gig with the Stones? Hmmm I don't see it happening somehow, it would be great if he did. It would be a gas gas gas. |

I'm 101% sure that the last gig of the Stones will get surprises and two of that surprises will be Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman.
But that only can happen on the LAST SHOW not before.

What would be so special about seeing Bill with the Stones again? I really don't get everyone's love for Bill. His musical contributions were many, but Mr. Jones plays a hell of a bass guitar.
It's not like Bill was an Eric Clapton type of musician, where he was a powerful, unique force. Bill played a good bass in a great band.
Bill, please retire and have fun with whatever you do - you deserve it. But plesae don't muscle in on the Stones. |

jones is a perfectly competent player - but he can't hold Bill's jock as bassist for the Stones. They miss him alot more than he misses them, that's fer sure. |

Wonder if Bill will start bad-mouthing the Kings?
"Yeah, bunch of slackers"
"I had written a number of great tunes and the guys just ignored them. They liked my amp!
Get stuffed Wyman.
You and Taylor can have the "I shouldn't of left the world's greatest R&R band because now I am a putz on the outside looking in" tour!
Go Ronnie -- play like a wild fucking bastardo!!
Chaz, I love you man -- get good and get going! |

I agree, just watch the LSTNTogether movie and see what Bill brought to the music, some mean nasty bass lines that Jones has never been able to reproduce with his slick jazzy soulless playing :-( |

Wasn't Wyman saying a pre-Licks "Maybe I'll do it, if they call me"?
They didn't call, fishface!
"Stones me, Ronnie!" |

I heard this about Wyman as well. Man do we miss him. I also heard Jagger and Richards are talking to a local unsigned band from Long Island secretly about 'buying' one of their songs. I didn't believe it until I heard the album (and wind up buying a copy). \ Go to www.cdbaby.com/cd/societysdogs You need to check this out for yourselves!

I'm tired of Bill talking about the Stones but he was very important. Daryl is miles away from he, sad but true. I miss Bill. |
