If you would .... Post information or tid-bits about the new / upcoming Stones album here...

Word has it they are currently at work on it and it is scheduled to be released this year some time (most likely in the mid-fall).


Ian

Is mid-fall considered mid-October? Early November? Because some people consider Early November to be late fall, even early winter.

I ask because I'm trying to get a good understanding of when the record might come out. Mid fall in Mexico City might be December. Then again, it's always pretty much - with the exception of 3 weeks in August - mid fall to early winter in friggin Belfast. Again, I want to understand when the record is arriving. I cannot event think about Australia and when their mid-fall, er, falls.

All this is pure speculation ... but it 'appears' The Stones will resume 'performing live' activity in October. I'd expect the new album to come out right around that same time.

They are talking about playing a the big music festival known as Coachella on October 7th. I'd expect their own set of shows to be in planning to occur right around the same time ....with the release of the album to coincide with that

... This is all and only based because if they are to be performing live around October... I'd say almost ...'positively'... the album would surely be out / released at that same time. 

What's going on here?

Does that mean that the album comes out in 2 weeks in Australia and New Zeland?

Not sure how accurate or legit this is but supposedly Ronnies son gave a little insight on the new album and what they got going (like father ...like son eh? :D).

He says it is 'different' .... as in not the norm for them... (though that isn't exactly telling us much).

However and as well ....he could of simply said it was great stuff or classic Stones or that it was fabulous ...  ya-da-ya-da ... and left it at that.. ...

It goes both ways.

Here is my thing.. as I mentioned initially ... I am not 110% convinced this actually took place. I mean .. where did they Talk to Mick and why would Mick disclose his opinion this early in that it is different from the norm as the article states?

All this seems unlike Jagger to say anything at this early stage.. very... very unlike him. I hope the article is legit.. BUT to use Gazza's line.. in fairness... there is every bit of chance this interview never took place ( I mean it's bang showbiz or whatever lol ... Its not the USA today ...or RollingStone.com reporting it ..or even the Daily Mirror for that matter .. ...).

___________________________________

Here is what we know for certain...

1. There is a brand new studio album in the works

2. They first got together to officially work on it in December of last year.

3. They cut a few new songs in December and several blues covers (none of the blues covers are certain to make it to the album).


_____________________________________

Strong evidence:

- They are working on it on and off as we speak ..most likely in London (per Keith)
- It is to be released later this year
- Release time frame is this fall.. most likely October / November.

_____________________________________

Pure speculation:

It is an album consisting of mostly Blues covers
The Producer? (nobody knows who it is).

That is where we are. It's the straight dope -

*As well disregard B. Fowlers recent blurry, black and white photo of Keith as being taken 'in the studio' recently. Fowler released a color image today that shows Keith with the same clothes, sitting on the floor in the same environment and this time he stated this image was taken in Havana. It was obviously the same location (being in Cuba) as the blurry, black and white image posted six or seven days ago... so the original image was not taken in the studio as was thought by many (including myself).

I just wanted that to be clarified here.

Of course the video was made for Coachella...but is the 'way' it is done that should tell you something as well (Lol). I saw The Whos one for October as well  .. BUT the way the Stones did their vid is a <hint> ... with a record playing as in their is a new album on the way too. The way the video was done doesn't take Sherlock Holmes reincarnated to put the double meaning together yo .. .. .... Lol


As well .. BV who runs iorr.org who is right much of the time also stated that the Stones release time is for the album is October. He said that is not speculation and that it is verified. He also described the video and a hint at the release of a new record just as well as the Coachella event.. though he said he already understood the release date for October .. (he is not right '100%' of the time.. but very often he is .. You can argue it out with him if you like. He has been spot on before when it comes to album info that nobody had a clue about previously).

They are experimenting .. ( :D ) bahahaha  Naaaa I'm kidding, naturally.

A Small UPDATE: (5- 08 -16)

Mick said in a Sirius XM interview very very recently (last few days) that they have done some studio work on an album and will do more .. yet he quickly steered the conversation back to Coachella.

Keith in an interview that same day says they are headed back into the studio next month. (< ... no idea why? .. I thought it was all in the can there, Keef .. :D )

It's all fairly-ish obvious now that they need to groove it up fairly deliriously, a la Hoot Stiff Negrita  but beyond; on top of and as well as the nostalgic ol' Bluesy-ing, shirlley? If they would only pull their firm funk fingers out. There is no reason that they shouldn't semi-invent a new-ish funky-ish guitar  paradigm and groove-'geist for the '16 trouser-generation.

They are keeping this very much on the down low.. but rest assure.. there is a new studio album in the works and they are taking it seriously. How do I know..?  >> (lol .. well isn't that obvious at this point).


Ian

Gotta admit, I have extremely low expectations for this, especially after hearing that they cut 11 blues covers.  I don't like the Stones for blues covers...I like them for their own version and interpretation of the blues in original compositions.

The blues covers were great back in 1965 when I was 13 and didn't know the source. Now I go to the source. Just be The Stones FFS and don't try and be the latest thing.

Folks .. this 'album of blues covers' was all hear-say. Ronnie simply said they recorded a bunch of old blues songs...(along with some new Rolling Stones cuts)  and that the stuff was sounding great. Nothing more.

The December session was simply to get their feet planted and start things rolling studio wise and as a.... 'start'... on working on an album .. that's all it was. It was almost a warm up .. and to work on a hand full of demos brought in ...but they got a healthy dose of new material out of the session just as well. Seems as if they are taking this slow .. and not rushing anything this time (thankfully). They are working on this album in segments  .. that's all. The blues covers was just in warming up and starting things off in there.. that's all.


I am certain we are not getting an album of mostly blues covers. It is a new Rolling Stones album. 

Hmm. I guess I like their blues covers pretty well but I must agree that they do their own original blues songs better. Back of My Hand is a perfect example; it's one of my all-time favorite songs.

One can only imagine

the delirious pleasures

they have in store

WaiteringOnAFiend wrote on May 12^th, 2016 at 10:47pm:

In store??  You know damn well there are no record stores anymore!

UPDATE:

Don Was said they did in fact do a full album of total blues last December (before they did new songs for another / brand new RS studio album). Along with The album of total blues .... There's material for a brand new Rolling Stones album which could be / seems to be on the way as well and they are trying to figure out how to handle that (meaning will it be TWO (?) separate releases .. or ONE (?) release together and how to put it out etc.).

Keith first suggested they do a blues cover.. to loosen up and get their bearings. It was recorded and it was so good (REALLY good according to who was there) they just kept decided to keep going and recorded many more blues numbers over the next two days (a full albums worth) before getting into their brand new stuff for work on a New Stones studio album.

None of the first blues segment was planned. They are still working on their brand new stuff (not the blues one). They have new songs.. for an album or a combination but the blues album is done (which is what Keith meant by 'thats in the can' .. I guess he was sort of correct). They still are working and planning on finishing their new stuff and trying to see how this goes with the blues album and their new album or the making of their new album. 

Interview Here with Don Was: Listen at 01:54 http://ondemand.rrr.org.au/player/128/201604300900

Yes... best of both worlds... Here we are in 2016 and The Stones are planning two things especially nice for us... As well as a tour. What more could we ask for? Lol

I am not sure how they are gonna put it together either... or separate it? I want a new studio album first. However I still want that blues treat ... I can wait 6 or 8 months after the new studio album if need be.

If they decide to incorporate it together (some how?) I guess I will just have to wait and see how that makes sense?

A tour means nothing to me personally as they haven't played the UK since 2013 and probably wont do for at least another year. Paying hundreds of quid for the same stadium/festival show again isn't anywhere near the top of my concert agenda.

New music or properly done archive releases are the Stones activity that are more likely to butter my parsnips these days.

Saw them in Berlin in 2014 in a wonderful outdoor arena. The show was great as was the location. It was a nice way to experience my 50th show. If that's a way of closing the book I don't mind. It's been a great run.  But I'm done with large stadiums to see the same show multiple times - if the option is to pay a normal price to sit 60-80 yards away or pay a fortune to get close, I'd take the third option and not bother.

But they wont. Apart from two remote festival dates, they havent played any UK show outside London since 2006.

I didnt say I wouldnt go see them. I'm at the stage where I'd LIKE to but don't absolutely feel that I NEED to. 50 shows is way more than I ever could have expected and I'm grateful for that. If it all ended tomorrow, naturally I'd be sad but I wouldnt have any regrets about having missed anything. I consider myself pretty well fulfilled.

Indeed there seems to be a mar on their legacy as a possibility.

In the old days if they put out a mediocre album (which was rare) it was just disappointing .. and there were possibly brighter days ahead for them. Right now... there may be no more brighter days ahead studio wise.. this is the end cap (potentially). This album is going to either further affirm their credibility as a working act in their late years or tarnish it (potentially badly).

Depends on things.. It's on the line here.

Stones / Clapton Collab:

http://www.odt.co.nz/entertainment/music/385576/rolling-stones-collaborate-clapton


The Rolling Stones have collaborated with Eric Clapton.

The 'Paint It Black' hitmakers - comprised of Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood - have recorded two new tracks with the legendary blues singer for their forthcoming album after he gatecrashed their studio time in Chiswick, West London, recently.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Eric was in the next studio along so he came in to say hello. They ended up jamming and recorded two songs. [Producer] Don [Was] reckons it's the best thing he has done with the Stones."

This isn't the first time Clapton (71) has worked with the group as he previously joined them on stage in 2012 for their second '50 & Counting' concert at London's O2 Arena.

An unheard version of the Rolling Stones' track 'Brown Sugar' also emerged last year featuring the vocals of Clapton.

However, it's believed this is the first time they have all joined forces in the studio and recorded a new song.

Meanwhile, the Rolling Stones' new album, which is yet to be given a name, will be their first in over a decade.

But, despite the fact it hasn't been dropped yet, it's believed the band are already starting work on their next studio LP as they are enjoying working on new content so much.

An insider explained: "They have decided to go back in the studio this month because they are enjoying it so much."

Meanwhile, the band may have a combined age of 286, but they certainly aren't showing any signs of slowing down following success of their gig in Cuba - their biggest concert to date - in April.

Keith previously said: "We're planning some gigs later on this year. I take each tour as it comes and at the moment I'm still shaking Cuba off me."

However, it's believed this is the first time they have all joined forces in the studio and recorded a new song. Meanwhile, the Rolling Stones' new album, which is yet to be given a name, will be their first in over a decade. But, despite the fact it hasn't been dropped yet, it's believed the band are already starting work on their next studio LP as they are enjoying working on new content so much. An insider explained: "They have decided to go back in the studio this month because they are enjoying it so much." Meanwhile, the band may have a combined age of 286, but they certainly aren't showing any signs of slowing down following success of their gig in Cuba - their biggest concert to date - in April. Keith previously said: "We're planning some gigs later on this year. I take each tour as it comes and at the moment I'm still shaking Cuba off me." Bang Showbiz

Now we're getting somewhere.  :keithpunky :willya

If scl is getting excited so am I.

I guess Keith is back to playing as lil Bass in the studio as per his Twitter tonight (shows a pic of him in there).

As well .. Sheryl Crow was with him (or them I'm guessing?) in there.. as per her FB Page. She's got a pic of them two together recently in the studio. I wonder what she was doing with him (or them) in there? Hmmmm?

Sheryl could have been:
1. Looking for Clapton
2. Hired as a fluffer
3. Paid to keep Kid Rock out
4. Attempting to stay relevant

take your pick....

my sources tell me this will be their best album since Exile.

"There's bombers in my bedroom..... and it's giving me the shits. J/ R

My first post Stoners, so be kind.  To start, Keef is god and should do more Expensive Wino's rather than a new Stones Album.  Don't get mne wrong, I love me some old Stones, pretty much Ssome Girls was their last good album in my book, I agree with the tarnishing comments stated and that Super Bowl fiasco was hard on my soul, hurt to watch.  Would love to hear even an "Unplugged" new disc by them.  Hard to have high expectations for whats coming, but would love to be floored by a ripping Exile'ish testament to their legacy.  I have always answered "The Stones" to the age old debate, Stones or Beatles, as I have The Killer  or The King.  Always like the grittier side of things I guess.  I look forward to bouncing around and seeing whats here, never joined these boards previously, I guess I more of a voyeur.  But, dont get em wrong, my collection is vast and deep and focused pre some girls.  I think I have a year by year collection of everything they did, including live, it's in a vault, deep deep in the ground somewhere nears Brians resting spot, all I can say. Looking forward to reading the boards on Micks solo stuff vs Keefs as well.  Time to rip this joint

Though, you have to admit Rick...it has a good chance of being the best new stuff released in the last 20 years...

Yes, that was certainly some of my better work.  Hell, we do go way back, who do you think named me Keef, I mean named Kieth Keef.

Anything is possible. A release that is better than ABB won't take that much. Besting Babylon is a bit tougher.
If we get a release that includes blues covers, there might not be that many new tracks unless the rumor I heard about a double album is true.
The fact that we are getting anything new at the 55 year point and they are still touring is beyond amazing.

I am not putting a lot of faith in a new album release this fall. I really don't have a fuck to give.

Seems to be some studio work in or around London imminent going by some social media updates by Pierre Beauport and Rose Leavell.

Mick was in France yesterday with his son Lucas and Matt Clifford making sure he jinxed England in yet another international football tournament.

Absolutely we should.  I just thought it was a joke since the implication was that B2B was better than ABB.

I ain't falling for the banana in the tailpipe.

The Stones are all in London. I'd imagine some studio work must be on the cards although I've also heard they're doing some media/promotional stuff (what for, I dont know)

Drink responsibly.....and often.

Ian - Any nudes? Is it the complete Chiswick Physic?  The full Hounslow Hankies?
Have they gone off - like fire crackers - 12 or 13 hours a day with new grooves?

This is very important, we are gonna need a Thriller.

They went back in the studio the 14th (June). They plan on spending a solid 10 days or so on finishing the recording part in this last segment and then they will over dub and mix it right afterward. 

Nobody knows what the new material is like .... or what to make of the blues stuff versus what they have brand new etc. etc.

There is a report that there is to be a song some where in the mix by Little Walter ...


That's all I got (< which I gathered by reading).

waitingonafriend .. most here said all this would never happen.... Remember? I was one of the very few that said they would eventually get back into the studio .. It wasn't wishful thinking.. or being optimistic ... It was simply realizing that they still want to create new music (SOONer or Later ... In this case it was MUCH later ha-ha) and act as a fully functioning act.


Now it's happening and I am simply involved in wanting to know or find out or discuss things.

After all ... isn't that what this message board is about? .. (discussing the new Rolling Stones plans?). I don't know about ya-all but that's why I signed up .. .. .....

I was at a party last night where I met a radio guy and he seemed to know what he was talking about. He didn't mention the sound or titles. Be advised he seemed to have the sniffles. He was not very personable and he seemed full of his self. I could whoop his ass though.

I can tell ya one thing... this new release certainly is intriguing.

For one reason is that they sort of seem to be working on a sort of 'different' type of product this time ...

As well .. due to the fact that this release could very well be their last.. considering their age... and not to mention consistency in studio releases (or lack of lately lol) . It has been the easily longest (by far) stretch w/o a studio album by them ...... and due to that fact many said they were finished studio wise as far as albums go ... so with all of the above being all that said... this album actually means a lot ..and people are especially curious here in this what could very well be their final full studio release chapter.

This certainly has got many peoples attention. However they are keeping this puppy (whatever that puppy may be).. VERY under wraps this time. Even more so than usual.

I have never doubted Some Guy and I am not about to start now...

I know people...some are movers...some are shakers...some post on these boards too...

SG offered nothing that any person "in the know" would not say or express...how would it come across if a mover/shaker/celeb came off and said " The new stuff sounds like crap" ?

Though, I would have asked the SXM Exec if a New Stones channel was going to return...I LOVED that channel...but thats just me talking ...

This is the Rolling Stones you're talking about, not King fucking Crimson. They tend to specialise in uptempo, catchy uncomplicated guitar orientated songs lasting about four minutes. The whole album in theory should be 'rock radio ready'.

Whether radio stations are going to play several new songs by a bunch of 70 somethings in prime time is another matter though. 

Rock n roll is pretty much dead as far as mainstream music goes and as the singles market has been aimed at teenagers for the last 25 years or so, they're not going to be buying singles released by a bunch of geriatric rockers no matter how cool they are or how good their songs are.

You are missing my point. They will release official singles ... some are ready for that.. some are not.

A Bigger Bang  = Streets of Love .. single friendly .. Back of My Hand - not.

Bridges To Babylon - Anybody Seen My Baby .. single friendly ... How can I stop = not.

Voodoo Lounge... - You got Me Rocking .. single friendly ... able to be released as a single. Moon is Up ... not single ready.


Some songs are meant to be released as singles.. The Stones usually have anywhere from 2-4 per album .. and they usually release them.

It's not a hard concept .. now.. will they reach Billboard top ten anymore like they did in the 60-70-80's ...no.. Will they hit top ten billboard anymore.. well no Lol .. they wont even hit top 40 today .. but on Rock radio and / or the top rock charts they will do well (.. >>>>>>>hopefully).

Sorry...I dont understand...what is "Rock Radio"...I thought there was only the oldies stations they call "classic rock" or Classic vinyl" or such...Are there really Rock stations still left out there?

I just listen to Sirius/XM but for talk/ Stern/ and some music ( mostly dance/disco/electronica/80's First wave dance party mix...)

Are there really FM stations that would play new Stones on steady rotation?

Like someone said earlier...will stations play a new song by a bunch of pensioners?...Hard to tell as that does not fit into any radio format that i can currently think of...maybe I am wrong or just my usual cynical self...not sure on this one...

I am not even sure what it is that the billboard chart charts anymore...the only ones that make sense are the digital download charts...

I love you all, and I want to hear the new single. If it's better than God Gave Me All I'm going to toll to my grave.

Sorry...I dont understand...what is "Rock Radio"...I thought there was only the oldies stations they call "classic rock" or Classic vinyl" or such...Are there really Rock stations still left out there? I just listen to Sirius/XM but for talk/ Stern/ and some music ( mostly dance/disco/electronica/80's First wave dance party mix...) Are there really FM stations that would play new Stones on steady rotation? Like someone said earlier...will stations play a new song by a bunch of pensioners?...Hard to tell as that does not fit into any radio format that i can currently think of...maybe I am wrong or just my usual cynical self...not sure on this one... I am not even sure what it is that the billboard chart charts anymore...the only ones that make sense are the digital download charts...

_____________________________________


There are usually a Rock station or two .. in most populated areas. We have two. One is more classic rock .. another is all kinds of stuff.

They are dwindling though...

There are a multitude of Internet Rock Radio Stations. Some play classics mixed with new rock.

There Are still some Rock Radio Stations out there and many on the Internet. Some play classics mixed with new rock .. It is in what The new Stones would be played.

You are correct in saying.... The better side of it is digital downloads and / or streaming music from Spotify etc. There are definitely still Rock Charts now as well. The Charting is much more separated between music genres and digital downloads are surely factored in.

Word has it the album is not of blues covers and is new material. Album is basically finished and there is someone who .....has heard some of it. This person recently visited Don Was at Capital Records (in which he is President of Blue Note Records).

She said she spent the night there and he was showing them his office (with all kinds of music memorabilia). She told him she loved The Rolling Stones upon seeing some things on them in his office. Don Was told her that they are coming out with a new album and he could sense her excitement so he let her listen to a song.

She told Don Was she would ...'burn her phone'...(referring to her not being able to replay any of it).... if she could just please hear more / the album.  She was.. well .. let's just say 'over-joyed' .. (<to put it very mildly lol).

He played her what they have. I specifically asked if they were blues covers ..or for a blues covers album or was it a new studio album? She said 'no covers'. I then naturally asked her how it was....

Her answer: "Fantastic"

If she spent the night with Don Was, I believe her judgement is questionable, her definition of fantastic debatable, and recommend she get tested immediately for an STD.

The question is, why would you trust a random person on the internet who claims to have heard the brand new Stones album? People make up stuff like this all the time. It's almost a tradition! It literally happens every single time there is talk of a new tour or album! Surely you know that by now? It's not negativity. It's just incredibly easy to be cynical and snarky when it comes to this band nowadays. That's all.

I didn't say it was for 'certain' .. I said I believed her .. This is what someone said is all. It could be dead wrong.

However this person 'does' know Don Was ... and this person isn't a standard RS fan wanting attention.


I figured it better to post it as a possibility and at least put it out there rather than not post or mention it at all ... right? ..

Whether it turns out to be spot on or complete bullocks ..

Breaking news. The title for the new album has leaked.

"Ian's 19th Nervous Breakdown"

To be released in 2018. Keith has described it as their most inspired release since Grrr.

When asked to comment on the upcoming album, Ronnie Wood had this to say: "We really wanted to do something fresh. So we cut a bunch of old blues covers. The ideas just kept coming."

So ... now they are thinking about pushing the new album back .. (<< F***K THAT!!! I know Lol smh) and releasing the Blues covers album first (possibly that is the plan. It was was at least discussed according to a few people who work for Universal Marketing team).


Nobody is sure of their plans.. but I know one thing .. it sho as heeeeealll aint getting any earlier.

Word has it they worked during June .. July and even into August on it (off and on ..not totally steady). They also did three weeks in April (off and on). As well (and as we all already were well aware of) they did the two week stint last December .. and they tidied things up a bit in January on it (nuttin major there at all in January of 15 was the very unofficial word on that month.. ).

Anyway .. that is the word. Nobody knows what they have.. or what is getting released or when ..  All is STILL (<<Ikr) a mystery there.

I agree. Doing blues covers is not keeping The Stones fresh or any more or less relevant. Doing an album of all blues covers and releasing it only keeps them 'active'... nothing more.

Not sure where a few people are considering a blues covers release would make them or keep them more relevant? If anything.. that is a 'throw back'... not something relevant in todays market. Sure I wouldn't mind it.. but it would only keep them 'active' .. not relevant and such release would be geared toward blues lovers and Stones purists.

Ian

jb ain't buying it.

An all blues album will sink like a lead zeppelin...

Any new music they put out will never be relevant in today's market...did you think ABB or D&G were relevant?

Their live shows sell out because of folks like us ( who are in the vast minority of the crowd) and  corporate types / folks w/ connections and for those who think its cool to pay 800 for a ticket to and wear it like some sort of status...the warhorse crowd...

The shows are half way sold out a week before the sale dates...

Anyone else but me score tickets to NY/NJ in 1981 with the mail-in lottery they had??
That was some exciting shit right there!!!
Scored one nite at Brenden Byrne Arena and one night at MSG!!

Look, I'm not saying ABB or D & G were relevant or made them any more relevant or not. I'm not saying a brand new studio album will or won't either (see below).

What I'm saying is <if> they were trying to make some kind of attempt to stay relevant.. or even grab back just a smidgen of relevance the very last thing to <try> to regain some of that would be to put out a 'covers album' of Blues tracks. That is all I'm trying to say here... smh Lol

Ahhhh I gotcha. My bad.

It appears The Stones will not release a new studio album this year. In December they are going to release an all blues covers album. IORR is 'officially' reporting it. Sure... nothing is for certain but Bv is 'generally' accurate (<< not 100% of the time but ...generally speaking hes 'usually' correct).


Word has it Universal (and probably The Stones) want to wait until the market is better to release a new studio album (uhh ... really? ... Seriously?? .. Awwwwe ..poor Stones .. The market isn't good enough for them).

So ... after 12 years we are getting an album of covers .. How bloody fantastic ..

Sure.. I'll buy it and it will most likely be pretty cool .. but really.. that is the best they can do???

I did!  I scored one of the MSG nights, but our seats were in the floor-level stands at the opposite end from the stage, so visibility and sound quality were greatly diminished, even standing up.  My fifth Stones show (of 14).  I still have one of the postcards - drawn by the stage backdrop artist - that they sent the losers, since my gf and I both entered and one of us won.

Yep. Something they cranked out in two days 8 months ago which could have been done with minimal effort at any time in the last 19 years when they managed just one album of new songs.

But hey, better late than never. Plus, Mick seems to be singing better these days than when he was plagued by a terrible outbreak of over-enunciating about five years ago (see that execrable cover of 'Watching the river flow' from around then).

In fact, why wait another three or four months. Just put the fucker out now if its ready. Its not as if they have to tie this release in with a 'tour' or anything.

Gazza. I agree here with you 100% on every account.

They could hold back The Blues album until next winter .. then release it. There has been talk the new studio album is now done .. Then Universal says they are working on it all the time??  (who knows.. ? They have been all over the map with their comments).

A blues album of covers is something not difficult for this group and we had to wait all this time to get 'that'...??

You are right... No they don't have to tour.. They could just put out an album... It's what we most want. Then they could even put out the Blues thing next December... but finish and release a F***G album will ya? Dammmmn.

All they do is retread old waters anymore...wow?

What is the whole point of the Vegas Show? All this makes no sense... and like I said I will certainly buy the blues album and I do look forward to it but geeze.. how bout a new album first (and instead) boys?

It isnt about The music.. it is about squeezing a few dollars out of the most prone time. IMO it wont make hardly a  difference in their case. The people who are going to buy the record will buy it now...or whenever.. Nobody says to themselves "..Well .. I'm not into The Stones.. BUT ya know what... the record (album) market is coming back now a dayz.. looks like Ill go get or download The new Stones record after all.." (I mean come on).

The people who are going to get are going to do such regardless of the market. Having a good market isn't going to make that much of a dent on their sales either way. A good market won't make that much difference in their case.

European tour looking highly probable for next summer.

Good promotional tool for a new album of new songs.

Working title rumoured to be "Ten new songs you'll never hear live".

Honestly I would absolutely looove a country covers album,  they do country so well and it always sounds genuine. Have some cool guests like Willy and Hank III  and you could have a killer album. It's probably their best chance of commercial success too. Country is HUGE and they don't put much emphasis on age.

Ever met a country fan who didn't like the Stones? I can see all four of them dressed in rhinestones and cowboy hats,  giving a press conference on Charlie's horses and riding away into the sunset.

Thanks Marcelo Quatraro, my doubt is that there ain't nothing on IORR and that image says it was taken from there

NO, it is not the cover

First of all, not sure how you can check. Second of all, I don't really want to know. :forfucksake :scary

Expect some big news any day now.

(Posters with the above image popped up in the last 24 hours in London and was posted on the Stones official account today. There was even a brief ad on TV tonight - no announcement, just a teaser

Release date may be December 2nd.  With all these teasers starting to happen, I'd expect an official announcement any day now.....)


You have all been given permission to get a bit of a tingle.

We should be hearing some new tunes soon, no?

'Blue Tongue' should be the name of the album, shirley?

Or 'Blue Tongues', as it was performed in a raucous circle?

Julio Jones quality posting.

Wow, state of the art audio technology with a touch of 60s technology

http://www.rocksoff.org/headers2016/i6-british-grove.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Grove_Studios

British Grove Studios is a recording studio located at 20 British Grove in Chiswick, West London, owned by musician Mark Knopfler.

British Grove Studios was built by Mark Knopfler as "a monument to past and future technology".[1] It has two studios. Alongside modern technology, the equipment includes two old EMI mixing consoles: a very rare tube desk from the 1960s like the ones used by George Martin and The Beatles and a later console on which the album Band on the Run was recorded.[1] The large console in studio one is a custom-made Neve 88R, while the console in studio two is an API Legacy. The main speakers are ATC monitors in a 5.1 configuration.[2] Specifically, the full-range models are ATC SCM 300ASL (300A) mounted in standard left-center-right configuration, with two more 300As on a unique track system for surround. Dual ATC SCM0.1/15ASL PRO (Sub 1/15) subwoofers alongside the left and right mains provide the LFE monitoring.

In February 2009, British Grove Studio was the winner of the Music Producers Guild Award for 'Best Studio'.[3]

Surprised TD was not playing

Judging by that mixing console labeling, we'll be getting a Keef track.

I'm studying this fucking thing like the Zapruder film.

This aint bringing Olympic Studios back.

______________________________

True. Fridays is the new world release day (instead of Tuesdays). However I think that pertains to 'album releases'.. not necessarily singles.

Jus sayin. BTW.. new clip sounds great doesn't it? It sounds quite raw.. yet has an air of excitement to it.

Ian

I so excited I'm typing this with Joey's nipples!
