If KEEF says it is so, then I think its true, or at least partially true!

Sources please?........Keith is on such a run of bullshit talk leading up to his cd release I'm skeptical.....

That's the most brilliantly vague confirmation I've ever seen!

Seriously - isn't he just repeating what he's been saying for the last couple of months - ie they'd like to make a record, but if and when they start it wont be anytime before next spring?

Some Guy wrote on Sep 16^th, 2015 at 4:03pm:


This should be the title.

Ian's as full of feces as Richards.

<  ---- This makes my " Hog " stick out !!!!!

Just listened 2 times through to entire Crosseyed Heart. The stones have their work cut out. C.H. actually has melodies. HEARTSTOPPER reminds me of pop that would have been on BETWEEN THE BUTTONS, and the ballads are killer with arrangements galore just like the good ole days.

This information is new,  based on the band's meeting this week for the art exhibit. Keith quotes Mick as agreeing. Sounds like recording plans would follow the South American dates. Gives the principles a bit of time to try and knock some ideas together before the year is out.

Ian Billen wrote on Sep 18^th, 2015 at 3:03am:

Yeah, because you've been saying the same thing for 10 years...........And I still won't believe it until it actually comes out.

Is it that hard for you or some to finally say to yourselves (or think in coming to grips with)... "Well I guess they are definitely planning on recording a new album .. I spose they did have a strong interest in it sooner or later after all  .. it just happened to be later... lol MUCH later...".

Why is this concept so hard to grasp or admit? It's like you guys fight it at every turn just to prove a point and really ...there is no point. We are here to discuss The Stones not be right all the time.

They are interested in recording and now plans to do such are not just being thrown around when they meet... they are actually 'definite'. Why is this so hard to come to grips with for everyone?

(I seriously think it's almost a conspiracy against me more than it is an actual debate or something..yikes...No shame in admitting what is going on .. and then we all move on.. I don't get it).

I actually knew there would be a new Stones album like 6 months before Billen knew it.  I was just too intoxicated to post about it.

Oh, I'm fine with it now.  As I've always said, I'll take all the 'new album' talk seriously when I hear Mick has agreed to it.

Not before.

Keith isn't the driving force (or even a joint driving force)  creatively or artistically behind the Stones anymore and hasn't been for many years. His role in the decision making has diminished gradually since 1989. He's not in a position to coerce Mick into doing anything he doesnt really want to be a part of.

anything is possible.....

I don't buy the notion that Keith does so little anymore as ya-all say. He wrote a number of songs for A Bigger Bang with Mick (they spent six weeks at Micks house writing them  for A Bigger Bang remember.. I doubt Keith simply napped the whole time while Mick wrote everything).

Keith wrote several for 'Bridges to Babylon' and at least half for Voodoo Lounge right in conjunction or right along with Mick.

Keith is the one who has always resurrected The Stones... and it is mainly him doing the pushing to get them into the studio again.. (unless Micks always talking about it and Keith is blowing the idea off and yet at the same time he is telling everyone the opposite in all his interviews.. come on now.) What more do ya want?

No WAY!! 1. They would not 'sound' the same. No two people can play just alike and or sound just alike. Keith has a very, very distinctive sound, style, and tone. Ya can't duplicate that...and it's hard to come close. Nobody has sounded exactly like him and that spontaneity he has every time he picks up a guitar.

Aside from that.. the song writing is something all of us can only entertain .. hell none of us are in the room when they write these things..

I agree on all accounts... and as well have watched and listened to people on youtube who mimic his style and some have even tried to make livings out of it as a tribute as you know ...right down to the amp he's using.

They do well..and the gestures and posing is even closer to the real Keith than perhaps the playing.. however still ..it is missing a little somethin. It just isn't quite the same.

Sure anyone can go up there and play the songs no doubt. Many can sound like Keith. Some darn close.. but we would not stand for it.. Who the hell would want it? Imagine.. Ronnie to the left, Charlie to the center...Mick up front and then to the right...there is some other dude besides Keith?? That aint The Stones lol.. that is like out of some bad dream. It would make no sense. You see what I mean, surely.

Yeah. We don't need 10 more ballads from Keith.

Will we next turn / stoop to arguing over who between Laurel & Hardy shouldered the most burden or was the funniest?


It would be preposterous if The Stains didn't release a bundle of new tunes and tunettes soon-ish after (or even during) the Saatchi show.

Fuck....give it a break....LOL....time for class kids

I heard that the Stones are going to record a new album next year...

Discuss!

I've been writing new songs for the Rolling Stones' next album. We just started, and it will be out sometime next year. We'll start recording in November. It should be good. I've been writing the last month for that, and I'm quite excited by what I've got so far.
- Mick Jagger, September 2004


There was a relaxed atmosphere making it. Some of it was home in France and the Bahamas - it was all small rooms and small technology. You have to work at it. There's always the inspirational moment and then there's the crafting but a lot of it, I found quite easy to write. I didn't write all this with Keith in the room. I like to write a lot of stuff on my own and I don't like people being around when I'm doing the lyrics. Keith always says they're in the air. They're not really, you have to make them up.
- Mick Jagger, August 2005

What it really was is, you know, Keith and I started doing a lot of stuff just on our own, and then we were just having a laugh with a lot of it. I'd already written quite a lot of material, and Keith had written some, so it wasn't like we start from nothing.
- Mick Jagger, July 2005

I just spent two weeks writing songs with Keith and some days they're all songs where I'm there on my own, and Keith walks in and paints the face on what I've written. And some days it's the reverse, and I go in, play the piano on something.
- Mick Jagger, October 2004


The ones I laid on (Mick) were Rough Justice, Infamy, and This Place Is Empty. So it's kind of half and half. Mick comes in far more prepared than I do.
- Keith Richards, July 2005

Some more via timeisonourside.com

Back of My Hand
Mick came up with that. He started to play it one day on acoustic guitar and I started thinking, prison songs... We were just casting ideas about. To me, it's a classic sort of Muddy Waters thing, or even earlier. And as we were getting it going, I went, Jesus Christ, we could have cut this at Chess, baby. You are what you listen to, in a way, and I never stopped listening to the blues. Even if I go off on other tangents, there's always that basic diet, thank God.
- Keith Richards, July 2005

I sleep downstairs and the studio is upstairs. One night, I thought I was hearing this old Muddy Waters track I didn't know, but it turned out to be Mick working on a slide part for Back of My Hand. He's always been a good, smooth acoustic player, but the electric seemed like an untamed beast for him until this year. I thought: My God! The boy's finally got it.

- Keith Richards, August 2005

Rough Justice
That came to me in my sleep. It's almost like Satisfaction. Yeah, I almost sort of woke up and said, Where's my guitar? Sometimes you do dream a riff, you know? I had to get up, and it's really hard to get me up. Once I go down, I go down, you know? But, I mean, it's only a song that could get me up and start running around the room, Where's my guitar, where did I put my guitar, before I forget it? I don't often remember dreams, only when they're musical.

- Keith Richards, July 2005

Let Me Down Slow
Mick came up with the basic song but I came up with the chimes (sings descending major chorus melody). But I'd say that one's more Mick than me, absolutely. You can tell.

- Keith Richards, July 2005

She Saw Me Coming
On She Saw Me Coming, that is Mick on bass, Charlie, Keith and me, cut live. We should do more like that, like in the Faces' days where we would just take off - eyes down, meet you at the end.

- Ron Wood, July 2005


Rain Fall Down
I laid down drum loops on the demos and certain grooves, and I ended up working with Charlie and working up those specific grooves, like on Rain Fall Down. In the old days when you did demos, you couldn't really carry them over into recording. But now I just took certain elements, and I've kept elements, so it saves you time. And also you can get a certain kind of feel sometimes when you initially do it, too.

- Mick Jagger, November 2005

Streets Of Love
It's a Mick tour de force, in a way. But we all really enjoy playing it. When we first knocked it out on acoustic, we felt, Oh, that's nice, but it sounded kind of standard. So then Mick and I were saying, It's the dynamics that count. You gotta take it up and down.

- Keith Richards, July 2005


Biggest Mistake
Of course, you are as vulnerable as anyone else. It's crazy to think someone can't be hurt just because he's famous or he struts across a stage. If you go back through Stones albums, I'm sure you'll find vulnerability along with the swagger. It may not have
been as easy to see, though, because it's not my temperament to share that feeling. I've often hid my feelings with humor. This
time the songs were written very quickly, and I was in a certain frame of mind. I thought about some of the words afterward to see whether they were too personal, but I decided to just let them stay. Keith was very encouraging... Translating that vulnerability into a song is very cathartic for you. You have to write it down and examine it and decide what you wanted to
share. There's something in the process that helped me get past the hurt it.

- Mick Jagger, 2005

Sweet Neocon
There's been other social comment before from the Rolling Stones. This one's a bit more direct. Perhaps it's the times we're living in. I was being more direct than metaphorical. I think right-wing commentators get fed up with pop singers involved with anything but pop singing. But artists have responsibilities too. Everyone has responsibilities. As long as you don't bang on about it every day - because people get very bored with that. I think comment from artists, whether they are painters or any kind of creative people, is part of what you do.

- Mick Jagger, August 2005

Dangerous Beauty
You're almost the first person to bring that up. I never hustled that one. But, yes, it's pretty strong.

- Mick Jagger, August 2005, speaking to someone pointing out that the
lyrics are about the Abu Gharaib prison abuse scanda

Sorry Ian, but the reason creators of this DVD went out of their way to insist that Mick and Keith worked closely on ABB was purely for marketing purposes - they wanted to move merchandise, period.

This is not press interview, it's a promo film with 4 Rolling Stones & Don Was fulfilling their obligations to push the record. These same men get a cut of record sales - thats business, with all reciting their rehearsed answers and talking points to stay on message. Talk of close collaboration, things are going great, Ronnie comparing it to Exile . . .all part of the ABB business plan. I'd love to know how many takes it took of Keith saying he really likes Streets of Love before they had one that was usable.

Now . . .for the love of God, stop this madness, put an end to this miserable thread, and do something constructive like arguing over who contributed what on Dirty Work.

less with the "we're-gonna-record" talk,
more with the "we're-gonna-tour-Europe-starting-with-2-concerts-in-marseille" talk please!

When this new Stones album drops, you will all rue the day you heckled Ian!

This Place is Empty and Infamy go without saying. Roug Justice we agree is mostly Keith.

The rest? I dont know. Neither do you. But going by the pattern of the songs I've listed, I know what my money's on. Especially the lyrics.

There's no way in hell Keith wrote anywhere near half of Look what the Cat Dragged In. [/quote]


Your money is safe, no doubt.
As I said upon my first spin, the majority is Mick and not Stones Mick but solo Mick.

Rick

It's all about the music.

Ha. Indeed.

the latest in the rumors...

http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/244246/20150929/rolling-stones-new-album.htm

The Rolling Stones have a few materials in line for a new album but the members of the band are reportedly not ready for another record.

Singer Mick Jagger revealed recently in an Ultimate Classic Rock report that he has a few songs already lined up for the group.



"I've got a lot of new songs, and songs I've written over the last couple of years," Jagger said, describing the new Rolling Stones album. "I've done really good demos for all of them, which I would love to record. I'd love to record a Stones album."

Meanwhile, with a few songs ready to be recorded, Keith Richards, however, is contemplating on how he could put the band together back in the studio.

He revealed in a report by NME that he expects the record in 2017 after stating how it would be impossible to put the guys together in the studio this year and that they would be preparing for a series of shows in the first half of 2016.

"I'm trying to get the Stones into the studio," he said about the new album from The Rolling Stones in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "But I don't quite honestly see it happening this year."

. "But I know what those guys are like. When they finish a tour, they don't want to do nothing!"

In addition to that, Richards said in the same interview how rumors about a break up have been bugging them since they toured in the 70s.

"People have said we're splitting up since every tour from about 1975," said Richards. "If anybody should be interested in when we're going to quit, it should be the Stones, and they're not particularly interested in doing so."

Mick Jagger has been spotted with Jack White, prompting new speculation about whether the Rolling Stones might join him in the studio.


Wouldnt it be more likely to be the other way round?

I wondered the other day why Jagger was in Nashville. Sounding out a possible producer for a new record could well be the logical answer.

Seems Jack is someone that both Mick and Keith admire and, on paper at least, he's a very likely candidate.

Just the idea of Jack White producing a Stones album makes me all warm and fuzzy!

Just because Mick is seen with someone, doesn't mean that person is going to work with the band.

Hold on.  What?  I don't get it.  There is little credence to this.  It's like muffet tuffet, curds and whey.

That's the truth Wheelie.  Stone hard facts.  I dare anyone to dispute you, including this alleged Billen character.

A lot of negroes in Canada.  Tons of Asians too.  One Asian told me that Canada is the ultimate goal for many Chinese, Thai, Koreans, Vietnamese, Hong Kongians (Hong bangin' Kong).  Canadians are very good natured and polite.  It's a civil place with an educated, diverse populace.  At least Toronto is.  And Toronto has very attractive women.

Steel Wheels wrote on Oct 3^rd, 2015 at 8:40am:



Thank fuck thats Taylor Swift ruled out then.

Nashville isnt exactly a place you'd expect Mick to be randomly visiting for a few days, though.

Steel Wheels wrote on Oct 3^rd, 2015 at 12:12pm:


That'll never happen and no one to my knowledge has ever suggested its a possibility. There's no sales in it, and therefore no money. Besides, the Stones have basically overlooked  that genre for so long that getting a single blues song played at any concert now is a rare treat.

Gazza wrote on Sep 23^rd, 2015 at 3:27pm:



_______________________________________________

Now it is been reported by Keith that there are also a couple songs on Crosseyed Heart that were actually written by Keith in the a Bigger Bang Sessions that never got finished or recorded fully .. 

So all this talk all over the last ten years is perplexing to me and it shows a contradictory attitude by The fans here lol To say Keith was basically a lump, or even not being quite productive on the last record isn't what has been consistently reported by them and the people surrounding the project ? (which I have disagreed with from day 1 on this notion Mick wrote almost all of A Bigger Bang and Keith didn't wrote much on it blah blah blah lol).

The only people saying Keith barely wrote anything for A Bigger Bang are the people on this message board and one other.

The Stones and the people surrounding these projects said and are still saying quite the contrary.

Ha!! I'm on it.

Only reason I am really put off on that concept is bc that notion has been completely fabricated on this message board.

As well .. it isn't even like they kept quiet about who wrote how much etc. They made it a point to say they wrote together closer than they had in decades lol. They were both contributing and were creative forces behind it. Micjk 'may of' did a little more solidifying the larger share but so what .. Keith was still very much there and being quite productive and in fact very involved in the writing process according to everyone surrounding it.

Why everyone says completely otherwise here and insists I'm nuts is beyond me?

Hell I am just going by what they and people said who were actually there.. (that is coming from Stones and non-Stones)

Still clueless why people won't accept 'what-is' and coming right from the horses mouths for like ten years now about this topic.

lol

Here is yet another example of that.. read this article written just last month about the making and writing of a Bigger Bang ... or is this article on the very topic we have debated for 10 years now yet another big lie?: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/rolling-stones-bigger-bang/

They need to release a classic Stones album for the ages. I want the biggest Stones album ever. Pure Stones with a fresh sound.

" DOES IT MATTER" I'm in tatters... SHIDOOBEE...in this case it most certanly does matter.  New Music , XXS n. OHHSS  I heard the Keith Richards New movie is GGGrrr8.
