Keith Richards - Rolling Stones Set For New Album


Rolling Stones songwriter-and-guitarist Keith Richards has revealed he will be meeting up with his bandmate Sir Mick Jagger to discuss a new album.

Keith Richards is meeting with Sir Mick Jagger next week to discuss a new Rolling Stones album.

The guitarist has revealed the band - also consisting of guitarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts - are on the verge of reconvening to record a new LP, as long as singer Mick gives it the green light.

Discussing the group's plans, Keith said: "I don't know, I'm going to hopefully find out soon, I'm going to be seeing Mick next week or something, so I'm going to try and screw some information out of him.

"You've got to have everybody want to do it, so I usually wait for a call from Mick saying, 'Let's make something, let's do something,' because without his actual 'want to do it', then there's not much point. But I'm always working, I've got ideas for stuff, but I haven't put them together yet with Mick."

Although the 66-year-old musician is desperate to head back into the studio with his bandmates, Keith doesn't think the group will be ready to tour again this year.

When asked if there were plans for them to hit the road, he told Absolute Radio DJ Ben Jones: "Yeah, but I don't think this year, not that I've heard. The suggestion is that there would be a record on instead."

Over the years, Keith accepts the Rolling Stones have become known for their "debauchery" and "drugs", but he insists they are things which have always taken a back seat in the studio.

He explained: "Things like debauchery and drugs were really peripheral, you know, when you're making a record. I mean, they're there, they're going around, but I can't honestly write songs and make a record and debauch at the same time, you know, not even me."

Keith Richards - Cleaned Up After Poor Career Choices

Notoriously hedonistic rock star KEITH RICHARDS blames the poor film choices that hampered his career on the fact he was permanently stoned. The PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END star regrets films like COCKSUCKER'S BLUES and LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER and admits he took time off after making them so he could detox, clean up and remind himself of what was important to him. He tells US magazine Out, "I had to sort myself out. I literally went to the most remote part of the world and sat there for a month on the beach and tried to learn to meditate. "I cleaned myself out and wrote letters to people I needed to write to and took a good hard look at myself. "I climbed one tree (sic) and thankfully came back and really kind of saw what was going on." Richards also sought counselling from a naturopath, who helped the celebrity realise his diet was responsible for his mood swings. He adds, "He said, 'You have to eat something every three hours. You have to graze. Think of yourself like a cow.' "Once I took that on board, and I stopped smoking pot, suddenly I'm the happiest person in the world."

:wtf3

This must have come from ContactMusic as well.   ::)

Well, most of it did...

FWIW, Keith's comments from the Absolute Radio interview were quoted elsewhere, not just Contactmusic.

Why did Metallica cut their hair?

Well their hairdresser said it was the only way to get all that matted cum out of it.

He lost me when Keith "said".... "I'm always working".....huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??????????????

"but I can't honestly write songs and make a record and debauch at the same time, you know, not even me."

Exile?

I do think he looks generally healthier. That said, there's really no secret about the positive outcomes of taking care of your body. But if you're Keith Richards and you've been told countless times you're going to outlive the entire human race, maybe you start to believe otherwise...

PS: I think this link is correct but its not working properly.  B/c it has 30 Exile era photos in the background.

Saw that, too.

The interview is from 2006.

Argh..sorry. It keeps buffering but nothing plays.  But didn't someone say recently that the absolute radio interviewer was Ben Jones?? wtf.  the search goes on....

Pearce Cleaned Up After Pot Binge Movies
Australian actor GUY PEARCE blames the poor film choices that hampered his career in the late 1990s on the fact he was permanently stoned. The MEMENTO star regrets films like THE TIME MACHINE and THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO and admits he took time off after making them so he could detox, clean up and remind himself of what was important to him. He tells US magazine Out, "I had to sort myself out. I literally went to the most remote part of Australia and sat there for a month on the beach and tried to learn to meditate. "I cleaned myself out and wrote letters to people I needed to write to and took a good hard look at myself. "I read about 27 books on Buddhism and thankfully came back and really kind of saw what was going on." Pearce also sought counselling from a naturopath, who helped the actor realise his diet was responsible for his mood swings. He adds, "He said, 'You have to eat something every three hours. You have to graze. Think of yourself like a cow.' "Once I took that on board, and I stopped smoking, suddenly I'm the happiest person in the world."
