Will Christine be on the EP?
 

Just conjecture.

Would be super sexy, but probably not. We'll probably know, "any day now".

If she was I'd find it odd as they didn't record anything with her voice in mind I don't think. I just don't see where they'd have planned to add her in. I'd love it, but I think the extent of her involvement will be maybe just a live show on the tour.

There's no doubt in my mind we will not hear Christine on this EP, or the possible future full length album.

I say definitely not for the EP, but I don't think we can rule out her contributing in some capacity to a hypothetical album even if unlikely.

I asked Mick about Christine recording with them at the Chicago M&G. His answer was "Well, she'd have to tour." In that, she wouldn't tour, so no she won't be recording with them. She won't be on the EP.

I realise that kinda answers the question, but would that even apply if she just did backing vocals? I was assuming that's what people meant - a la BTLH and SYHA.

I'm not voting on a poll about an EP that the initiator of the poll constantly descibes as something that is never going to be. :D

She recorded for the Time album and didn't tour, didn't she? Why must she tour?

I still don't understand this mentality. I didn't understand it during SYW, and I don't understand it now. People will still show up to the tour, even if she doesn't. Is that really his worry? I mean, she's not here now and people are buying tickets! If I were Mick, I would rather have her on the record if it would mean boosting sales, even just slightly.

I wonder if this is a line the whole band (minus Stevie) is drawing in the sand, or if it's only Mick being stubborn?

In regards to the EP, while I don't think she's on it, I will be ecstatic if proven wrong.

I don't understand the mentality either. It's not like they're going to have a radio hit written by her that everyone would be expecting to hear on tour. If she's willing to do it, why not? I'm not sure if this is Mick's actual opinion or if it's the band's standard response at this point.

I don't see the point of her doing backing tracks like on BTLH or SYHA, I could barely hear her on the SYW versions of these tracks. If she's going to participate on a record she should be allowed to fully participate.

Agreed, though I can def hear her on the SYW tracks, and I love listening to them.

that's a valid position. touche

I say no to the EP, maybe to the album but definitely as a background musician on an album.

Agree about the EP, but if there is a future full length album, there's no doubt in my mind that we will hear Christine on it.
