ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

I mentioned in the 'Exile' thread that I thought it might be a good idea to start a separate thread enabling everyone to keep track of all the various radio, TV & online interviews, specials and media appearances surrounding the Exile release.

Feel free to add to this list and I'll edit this first post to show them all in chronological order for easy viewing/listening.

If possible, please also post links (radio websites, YouTube, TV show websites) to show where the broadcasts can be seen/heard. Thanks.

Keith's Absolute Radio interview with Ben Jones - www.absoluteradio.co.uk/player/The-Rolling-Stones/7911/Keith-Richards-interview.html

Besides the obvious 'Exile' conversation, he talks about breaking a finger (fret hand?) last year and not playing much guitar as a result, and goofs on Ronnie being "in jail"...

A must listen!

Nice job organizing the Exile links!

This has turned into an awesome elaborate extravaganza of Exile excitement!

Crazy! I need a day off just to scroll thru it all!

I would LOVE to hear the tall tale behind "the pinky incident!"

Looks like Stones in Exile will be bc at 22.25 UK time next Sunday followed by the Rio Concert.

LOL, what's with the Keith 'walk-on' where he lights the cigarette, stumbles through the curtain and dissapears? Was that not supposed to happen? The presenter looked bemused.

Gold FM here in Melbourne ran a hour long special earlier this evening. Great stuff. 1 of our Sunday papers did a review of Exile giving it 5 stars. Though i am getting a bit miffed at the reviews i have read. I am not sure if any journo is actually listening to the newly restored Exile, or merely googling it! hahahaha

Mick (on Keith's heroin intake) - "Its not a sort a breakfast question.. 'how much heroin did you take last night?' 'Oh did you? I only took 5 milligrams ...any eggs?" :blankfriggingstare1

Loved the bit where Mick talks about the guy who came up to him in a restaurant last night, told him Exile was his favourite album and then said "I know its not YOURS!". Poor bastard has been haunted by an off-the-cuff quip for almosty 40 years now.

Is anyone else having problems viewing the fallon clips? Even is SD it takes too long. Unwatchable!

Fixed it. Keith was great!

Taj is perfect for Shine A Light! The guitar solo lacks a little, but not bad.

I really hope someone will put together a torrent of all the Fallon show performances, cameos and interviews.

The performances are on YouTube OK, but the non-musical clips only seem to be on the show's own website so far (from which you cant download) and will be removed pretty soon. There have been a few on other upload sites (hulu.com, etc) but these can only be viewed in the US.

Not my intent to put out any negativity regarding the current Exile publicity, but I must say that Matt Lauer came across as a real douche in his interview with Keith. Since when does he feel the need to judge Keith over his drug use during Nellcote. He just couldn't let it go, quizzing Mick about writing songs while drunk. Is this the only filter that the U.S. mainstream media can view Exile through?

I agree. Matt Lauer was a prick.... maybe has to do with him being accused of adultery in a tabloid recently but very rude in my opinion. I do not like Matt Lauer any more. He's out. Its hard to explain that culture and age to people that did not live then.

Lauer's questions were rather pointed.
But let's face it, drugs are part of of the 'Exile' backstory.

It's not just the US media, either.
Mick's Dutch TV spot and the Absolute Radio interviews with he and Keith also discussed the drug use, as do virtually all of the recent print articles.

I'd guess that Mick and Keith had some say in the content of these interviews, so if they wanted something 86'd it would've been.

Of course drugs are part of the story. Haven’t they always been?
Musicians, and those that listen as well, have been doing drugs since the beginning of time.

I’m confused, is Exile about drug use or is it about music?

Quite honestly I’m a bit unsettled by all the 40 year filtering being applied to the summer of 1971.

Me too. Its as if the music can't stand on its own, it has to have some SCANDAL associated with it or anything of value to be presented to the public and pique interest. Pretty sad really. I blame the media execs.

fuck 'em- new Stones tomorrow!

Don Was interview on XM radio channel 40

Stones in Exile will be aired in entirety May 23 on BBC1

BBC news article with video (Mick explaining his choosing process): very interesting

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8681410.stm

text of above:

Forty years ago, the Rolling Stones decamped to the South of France, living as tax exiles as they recorded their tenth album.

The sessions became notorious for their bacchanalian excesses, taking place amidst a nine-month, non-stop cocktail party in a sprawling villa that had supposedly once been a headquarters for the Gestapo.

The result was a sprawling double album, Exile On Main Street, which has gone down in history as one of the band's best.

Next week, they are re-releasing the record with 10 new tracks - including several recently rediscovered songs. An accompanying documentary, Stones In Exile, will premiere in Cannes, before screening on BBC One on Sunday, 23 May.

Frontman Sir Mick Jagger met up with BBC arts editor Will Gompertz to explain why the band had gone back to the archives - and whether the band would ever get back together.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new tracks on Exile On Main Street have been promoted as "recently rediscovered". How lost were they?

Well, they weren't really lost. It was just no-one had really looked at them. There wasn't a bag at the bottom of someone's drawer.

The patchwork album cover was created by photographer Robert Frank
Where were they?

They were in our tape store, mouldering away. Tapes don't have a very good shelf life - so you bake them in the oven, get them out, play them and transfer them to somewhere else.

And then the process started of listening to them and going, "that's really a good one".

What sort of state were the songs in?

They were mostly instrumental tracks with no vocals on them. They didn't have vocals, they didn't have melodies... because I wasn't there. I was playing maracas or I was playing harmonica or something.

But some of [them] were complete. There's a track called I'm Not Signifying and all I did was play harmonica on it. It's quite an early track.

It sounds early. It could fit onto the Beggars' Banquet album.

It might have been recorded for Beggars, but it was definitely re-recorded in the [Exile] period. A lot of these songs were done more than once.

Did you put them to one side because you didn't like them at the time?

We had so many tracks, and you can only do so much. You'd say, "we'll save that one, or put it aside" not knowing that we'd put it aside for 40 years!

So I just found some of these ones and finished them off - I wrote the words and the lyrics.

Would you describe these records as new ones or old ones?

They're both, really. [Record producer] Don Was, who's a real Stones aficionado, said, "you've got to do them in the mood of Exile". We had tremendous arguments late at night about whether that was correct, artistically.

Work on the album started in 1969, when Jagger was dating Marianne Faithfull
How do you get yourself back into the mood you had in 1971?

By listening to Exile, of course! But it's not particularly difficult, technically. It's just an attitude in your head when you're singing. Don Was said that in those days there wasn't a tremendous amount of subtlety. You just started and then, wham, barraged on 'til you finished.

But what about writing the lyrics now, as opposed to where your head was then?

Now that's a different thing. Of course it's totally different. But you can put your head in a "mood". That's what any writing is like. You've got to be able to.

People say, "is a song written from your own experience?" The answer is "of course it isn't!" Bits of it are your experience, bits of things you've learnt off other people, bits you've nicked from other people's lives, and bits you read in a newspaper. And all this goes to make a song, a novel or a play.

And so with all this, you're playing a part. And in a way, I suppose, I was playing the part of myself in 1971.

How accurate is the mythology surrounding the recording of Exile On Main Street?

The wild nights, the orgies, the drug taking! I remember it well. Every bit of it!

I mean, it was a lot of fun - but there were a few bumps. It was a bumpy period, historically. There was a war going on, the Nixon thing was happening. Tax was through the roof. It was very difficult. The end of the '60s felt very strained.

But despite all the excesses, it was quite a creative period. When you're quite young, you can get away with that.

What was the environment like down at the house?

I think it was quite simple, really. The basement was for work, and nobody came in there who wasn't working.

Upstairs was quite a lot of socialising and carrying on. All day.

It was great fun and it got a bit out of hand, and then we left. It felt like forever, but actually it was only six or seven months.

How much did the environment contribute to the album?

It was very social, we had a lot of children. They weren't singing on the record, but there was quite a family thing.

If you record in that atmosphere, you're going to get a different kind of record. It's almost impossible to quantify how that is, but you just are going to get a different record. Every endeavour is influenced by its environment.

How was your relationship with Keith at that time? This was his house…

It was his rented house! He rented it for a year and he never went back!

The Stones' Bigger Bang tour earned $558m - the highest-grossing tour ever
What was the hardest point in those years?

It was really problematic getting into the United States. It was massively difficult. The uncertainty of knowing whether you could go to America to tour was one of the major uncertainties of that period.

Things have obviously changed a great deal since those sessions. What's your feeling on technology and music?

Technology and music have been together since the beginning of recording.

I'm talking about the internet.

But that's just one facet of the technology of music. Music has been aligned with technology for a long time. The model of records and record selling is a very complex subject and quite boring, to be honest.

But your view is valid because you have a huge catalogue, which is worth a lot of money, and you've been in the business a long time, so you have perspective.

Well, it's all changed in the last couple of years. We've gone through a period where everyone downloaded everything for nothing and we've gone into a grey period it's much easier to pay for things - assuming you've got any money.

Are you quite relaxed about it?

I am quite relaxed about it. But, you know, it is a massive change and it does alter the fact that people don't make as much money out of records.

But I have a take on that - people only made money out of records for a very, very small time. When The Rolling Stones started out, we didn't make any money out of records because record companies wouldn't pay you! They didn't pay anyone!

Then, there was a small period from 1970 to 1997, where people did get paid, and they got paid very handsomely and everyone made money. But now that period has gone.

So if you look at the history of recorded music from 1900 to now, there was a 25 year period where artists did very well, but the rest of the time they didn't.

What about the future. Are you going to get back together and write more music?

I think that would be a very good idea. I've been writing quite a lot of music.

Is Keith keen to get the guitar out?

I'm sure he is. And I'll be seeing him next week, so I'm sure we'll get together and start doing that.

The expanded edition of Exile On Main Street is released on Monday, 17 May. Stones In Exile will be shown on BBC One on Sunday, 23 May.

The NPR interviews are really good.

Pretty much. That's the tag, the lead -
These people - most people actually - don't know Exile from Start Me Up..
To them, the Stones are larger than life, but they don't get the music.... They can't grasp the Stones that we know.....
At least Fallon, as unfunny as he is, is a fan and understands who the Stones are. The Lauers, Today Show etc.....it's not like they're going to ask Mick or Keith about the blues, country, gospel influences and why the album is a musical and cultural landmark.

Very good interview. And a nice bit of news at the end. On Bank Holiday Monday (31st May) Mick will be interviewed again for a BBC Radio 2 special "Jagger's Jukebox" where (for the first time) he plays some of his favourite music from the late 60's, etc.

Thanks Gazza for that link, I really enjoyed that Interview, it was interesting to hear some of the original (Robert Johnson/ Slim Harpo) songs & then The well 'known versions of the Stones, & the country influence part, the part where Bill (Wyman) would drive a hour to get to Nellcote at 10 in the morning, & The Stones were up all night recording & they go to bed at 9 in the morning, & that would drive Bill crazy, great interview, far more about the music as opposed to all the usual reporter questions about drugs, there is a part about that too, but a great detail about the music more.

The Rolling Stones' frontman hand-picks a selection of artists and music that influenced the band's ground-breaking sound, in particular their classic album Exile On Main St. In conversation with Paul Sexton, Mick talks through a wide-ranging playlist that reflects his own, and the band's, love of classic R&B, gospel, country and reggae.

The fascinating mix of material conjures up the musical environment of the late 60s and turn of the 70s, in which the Stones, and so many of their peers, were scaling new and ever more eclectic creative heights. In a show that includes both vintage hits and lesser-known gems, we'll find out which of the band's fellow rock acts from that era have Jagger's personal seal of approval. We'll also hear some brilliant soul records that have remained his all-time favourites; plus singer-songwriters; giants of country and Americana; and much more besides.

Mick Jagger’s GMG special

Mick Jagger is to feature in an exclusive documentary across GMG Radio’s networks this weekend.

Presented by Terry Underhill and being broadcast on the Real, Smooth and Rock Radio networks, the show will feature Mick talking about performing live, future plans for the Stones and social networking.

The Rolling Stones have grossed over half a billion dollars performing live, speaking to GMG Radio about touring again, Mick said: “I’m sure we will. It would be stupid to say there won’t be another Stones tour because I love doing them and I always imagine there would be another Stones tour. When that’s going to be I don’t really know at this point.”

Real Radio:
Sunday, 19:00 – 20:00

Smooth Radio:
