It's my thought everyone here is going to say no way in hell and in fact it will never happen again in the future at all lol

But I must raise this question (and I mean just a simple thought ... not a belief but a thought as a possibility).

Keith originally planned on doing a few shows to promote Cross Eyed Heart. He mentioned that immediately after that there was the small possibility of The Stones or Mick and Him getting together to write or start working on a new album before the Holidays.

Well he never ended up doing any shows .. He made a live appearance but it was not any sort of KR concert.. it was for the benefit of Mary Clayton.

Long story shortened here .. Did he shelf / dismiss doing any live shows because he and Mick started working on something instead as he mentioned could possibly happen before the holidays?

As well.. he was recently asked about actually writing lately with Mick on a new album in which he responded ..."So far... so good"....

Did they get together here and there already? Is this why he never did any shows or really went out to promote Cross Eyed Heart much at all as he was originally supposed to?


Hmmmm? IMO though they couldn't of spent very long together but it's very possible they did get together because Keith said "So far so good" when he was directly asked about writing with Jagger on a New Stones album.

A very non-committal answer...an excellent publicist-type answer.

What else would he say, "We ain't got squat"?..."We have the ABB outtakes"??..."We have to work out our chops"???

Ian, you said it - lets go with the facts. The next time you feel the uncontrollable, off your meds, mile high OCD urge to pose this, or a similar voices in your head question, I want you to STOP.

BREATHE.

And then, I want you to be thankful for the Rolling Stones catalogue - go ahead and put ABB at the top of the list if you'd like - and be grateful.

You asked this:

Because of this:

Well when a reporter asks you about the next Stones album and how the writing process is going with Mick Jagger at the moment why not say "we'll see" .. or" we haven't done much as of right now but we plan on it"? Versus..... <So Far So good>

My thoughts are more though based on why Keith did not go on to promote Cross Eyed Heart like he was supposed to?

There had to be something preventing that you would think.? He was supposed to do some shows to promote it and he really hasn't done anything but some interviews?

Why? What is filling his time. He was supposed to promote the album with a handful of live shows into November as I understood it? After that was when the possiblity of working on a Stones record would occur and if not then after South America. However he has done nothing to promote it really except a few interviews... it didn't happen? Why?

Ian

I dont recall Keith ever confirming or alluding to any kind of promotion for his album...but then again, he could have...I dont follow his every word...

So...to answer your question...I dont know...to take a break???
to have some fun??? Maybe he just forgot he was supposed to???

Besides...its getting chilly...and the holidays are coming about...the old man needs to hunker down with a sweater by the fire and enjoy his brandy, his dogs  and family.

Best to you Ian!

Keith Richards eyeing April for Rolling Stones return to the studio

This Topic has been moved to Unclassified

It sounds so scary...have any ever come back???

LOL

No, never but we can do it in the near future just for fun!

Always wondered where the Bon Jovi threads ended up...

I see.. but when will they write? I would actually like to see them make an album in the studio with all of em together  ... that is what should be on par this time. you know... write some of it while on tour in South America and get together just after all in the studio. It could be an album started on tour and worked on right after the tour with all of them in the studio together to contribute and to just see what they come up with.

This Keith and Mick getting together to write by themselves and then later getting together with the band as has been 25-30 years could use a nice change.

The writing and recording process needs changed up this time. Why not write and work on it some while actually on tour and then spend some time together right afterward some place... a few weeks or something and then head into the studio all together to finish writing it and recording it like that. That is a nice idea actually.

Recording on the road at this age would be asking a Heeeellllll of alot. I am not sure they could ever manage it.

However Mick and Keith would be together on the road at points .. perhaps they could find a little time to at least 'write' some stuff. They got a few days between gigs now. Sooner or later they gotta get together anyway right lol

They should send the Ian threads there as well.

Keith is high as a balloon.

Keith did most of the promo interviews for Crosseyed Heart in July and talked - very vaguely - about the possibility of some live shows.  It didnt sound convincing. Never really believed it was likely to happen, myself

He has since stated that he broke ribs when he fell over a hat someone threw onstage at a Stones show in early July (I think it was Indianapolis?  Cant recall)

If anything, I'd imagine that put the final kibosh on any chances of him touring with the Winos in 2015. Once you get to the end of the year, the window has closed as the Stones would have to start rehearsing in January for the next leg of their tour which starts in February.

If he's writing with Mick, it must be by fax or skype. They haven't been reported as being together for some time.

Its not even worth commenting on the supposition that they'll be writing songs together from scratch a la Cheyne Walk, 1968.

Well first it was ... <they have no interest in making another record and they never will>.Anyone who believed otherwise was considered to be living in a 'fantasy land' (remember? ... :D )

Then it was...<Well they are mentioning that but there is really no such genuine interest. They are simply pulling guys like Ians chain>... (remember?)


Now that there is definite interest it went to <Well there are no definite plans>.

Now that they are most likely definite plans of some kind
The next step is... hmmmm.... let's see... Now how does this go usually? Oh yes ..now it's <they won't be writing it together> (more of the usual).

Then when we find out they wrote it together it will be <Keith didn't hardly write anything for it and Mick basically carried the whole writing and creative process>.

Then as reports come in they are recording all will say how far behind they are and that it most likely is only a handful of songs.

When we find out it's basically finished it will be how this album will most likely suck when it's release date is posted  ...

I guess I can sum it all up as: Just another day at Rocksoff ... ...

Ian...I think the difference is that we dont take anything at face value...we dont make this stuff up...the waffling in the Stones/Keef camp is funny at best...like the political statements made on a daily basis...all just to appease the public this week.

____________________________________________


Gazz ... Sure Keith thought about retiring.. but he also stated it was more or less an off-the-cuff comment and although the thought was there in his head an an option or possibility it was nothing solid and it sure was never seen as anything definite.


Keith finally did release his solo album that technically..he had been working on for ten years... as it turned out (and talking about it for four ... what was I supposed to believe?... By the same token if The Stones mentioned on and off they were working on an album for four years I'd be saying the same darn thing and would be every bit as skeptical lol (it was getting ridiculous)

As far as to who wrote what or who will wrote I can only go by their producer, Mick, Keith, and Charlie who gave candid commentary on how it did (or will) go down and by who were all there .. not folks who speculate based on ideas they have created in their own head. I have to go with who is / was there and what they are saying (unless there are insiders that were there who say differently...which has not happened or been the case .. All that.." Keith lost his writing chops and Mick wrote almost all of A Bigger Bang" originated, and is coming from one / two places .... people on this message board and maybe a few on one other who actually know absolutely nothing about what really went down and are just like the rest of us ... They have no evidence or inside word on any of that Lol... yet they are saying that ...well... 'just because'...?? ...>> But I know.. I know...am the crazy one for thinking anything different.

They could start material from scratch after South America as well ... who knows? Either way.. what you are saying isn't crazy, it's not out of the question and it's not in fantasy I
In fact.. your thought is now actually considered a 'definite' reality ..or at least it is on plans to be ...for the most part. (<....not sure why so many here are having such a difficult time with that notion Lol .. especially at this point)

It was pretty reasonable to think after 2007 they'd never make another record, especially as considering the state both Keith and Ronnie were in at various points during that tour followed by Ronnie's descent into booze oblivion in 2008-09 (when his dick did most of his thinking) you would have got decent odds on them being both alive in 2016 let alone in any fit state to make a new record.

Thankfully, they're both in much better shape than we could have hoped.

Ok ... now we are into these semantics again. Who knows.. we shall see. Looks to be they have material readied and I am sure they will do /write more ... but again who knows what route they will take with it?

Point is this.. they are making a new album. There is no other way to look at it. Why? Well because they are interested in that... they WANT to. Or at least they are interested in entertaining that idea to see what becomes of it.

Has nothing to do with mileage or any of that.. first and foremost Mick and Keith expressed a strong desire to make another Rolling Stones album...

Why? Not because they have to.. or because they need to ... or even because they feel they should (although those things all fall in line).

They are going through the effort and time to write / record and release an album simply for the fact that... Well because they <want> to lol.

*The Stones haven't needed to do anything for a Loooooooong time mate (as you know). They don't need the money .. and they are well past the age of retirement... have been for quite some time. The Rolling Stones do things because they WANT to... ESPECIALLY at this stage of the game for them.

They have a strong interest in creating and recording something again ...

It's pretty simple, really .. why try to keep reading into this any more than that?.. .. ...

I recall recently when Woody blabbed about some RS news that Mick did not authorize...a tour??? A reheasal schedule??? A meeting???

Anyway...here is a seemingly Woody calling for studio time for the band during the holidays...something i just dont see happening considering the families everyone has...

http://gulfnews.com/life-style/music/rolling-stones-ready-for-recording-says-ronnie-wood-1.1620191

The Rolling Stones are to enter the studio before the year is out to begin work on their next album, according to guitarist Ronnie Wood.

Keith Richards has been suggesting the group would begin work on their 23rd studio album — by the count of UK releases — next year. “They need to, it’s been too long,” he told the Guardian in September.

Wood, however, says it will be sooner than that.

“We’ll maybe go in the studio in December and cut a few tracks and see what happens,” he told ABC Radio. “We’ll take it from there, see how it all goes. One thing at a time.”

The sessions would be the laying of “some groundwork” for a new album, he said.

He added that the Stones were trying to arrange their first ever show in Cuba. “That’s not a done deal yet, but it’s in the offing as we speak,” he said. It is a little over 10 years since the Stones released their last album, A Bigger Bang, which reached No 2 in the UK and No 3 in the US. In the intervening time, they have released only two new songs — One More Shot, and Doom and Gloom — which were recorded for the 50th anniversary compilation, Grrr!

The bulk of new Stones recording in recent years has come in the form of sprucing up old studio recordings to provide bonus material for deluxe reissues of their back catalogue. Mick Jagger recorded new vocals for the extra tracks on the deluxe editions of both Some Girls and Exile on Main Street.

Earlier this year, when asked by Rolling Stone magazine about the possibility of a new Stones album, Jagger said: “It would be very nice and I’ve got a lot of new songs and songs I’ve written over the last couple of years. I’ve done really good demos for all of them, which I would love to record. So, let’s hope so.”

Ronnie does have a tendency to blab, then he covers it up by being vague so he doesn't let the cat out of the bag.

"  ................. Now they're probably relaying lines and chord sequences via their grandchildren on skype.   "

I believe.

The sharing and swapping and jesting and even melding of great trousers should not be scoffed at, shirley?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E3Z_dvkVcs

All trousers fitting, there's no reason why they shouldn't get studio-bound (for a second time) in London in early-ish to mid April after two weeks of Devoning, Witteringing and a bit of Exhibitionismizationaling, shoooly?

It is fairly safe to assume they will be writing / recording in London very shortly (within the next couple days). All of them are in London and Keith's guitar tech is flying out there right now according to his Facebook page. It is also reported that Daryl Jones is there as well but that is not as confirm able.

As well ...Ronnie and Keith both mentioned the probability of recording in December very recently as well as a few separate publications.

It only makes sense .. looks like they are getting under way to start on the new album .. <very happy>

The Rolling Stones are recording their first album in 10 years right now

The Rolling Stones are in the studio and recording their first album in 10 years

Nearly three months after Keith Richards hinted at brand new Rolling Stones music the band have confirmed fans will get their first album in ten years, in 2016.

Mick Jagger, Keith, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts – who have a combined age of 265 – have been in a studio in London for the last week to record what will be their 30th studio album, and their follow up album from 2005’s A Bigger Bang.

Stones insider Ian Billen told The Sun that although it’s ‘very early stuff’ the band hopes to complete the full album next year.

‘The guys booked in for a few sessions to lay down some tracks which Mick and Keith have written,’ the source said.

‘It’s very early stuff – just four or five songs at the moment – but the plan is to make a full new album in the new year.’

Stones insider Ian Billen told The Sun that although it’s ‘very early stuff’ the band hopes to complete the full album next year. ‘The guys booked in for a few sessions to lay down some tracks which Mick and Keith have written,’ the source said. ‘It’s very early stuff – just four or five songs at the moment – but the plan is to make a full new album in the new year.’ Read more: http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/10/the-rolling-stones-are-recording-their-first-album-in-10-years-right-now-5556237/#ixzz3tvbHcEEX

My sources tell me that the new material sounds like very early stuff...

I love how an album that'll be released eleven years after the last one can get described as a 'follow up'

Considering the age of the band members, they're probably more likely to have forgotten that they actually recorded it to begin with than to decide they needed to 'follow' it up!

But yes, good news. Pierre de Beauport posted on social media on 30 November that he was 'flying to London' so that was certainly a positive development.  Very early days though and I doubt they're doing more than a few demos at this stage. Hopefully by next autumn we'll have some new music to listen to and it wont be merely a couple of songs tacked on to another repackage.

Gazza .. I whole-heartably agree.. if this is a 'follow up' .. I wonder what a break from recording albums would constitute? ... 30 years? Lol

How I disagree and why are you once again looking or considering it could be something it isn't? They are in there starting an album .. not another few singles for a greatest hits (how many of those can you have). Why so pesssimistic... Next it would be how bad the album will probably suck. Lol

Actually no .. strike that. This is for another greatest hits package... (no album in sight) and as well ... Keith didn't wrote a thing on these new songs. This is all Mick .. Keith is spent / shot. He can barely remember the chords and half the time he is actually sleeping through all of it .. .. .... :D

Yeah, I'm sure they want to record another album....just not with one another. Here comes Dirty Work 2. 'Annus Horribillis'.

I didnt suggest it was anything else. What in Christ are you on about? I'm saying I hope its something substantial instead of the crumbs we've been thrown for most of the last 18 years (with one exception in 2005). Yeah, they're intending to make a full length cd. But it wont be one until they have enough material - so far they dont.

It is too bad they feel obligated to fill up 70+ minutes of space(not that they have done that recently)  I would be glad to just get 10 good songs and no filler...

LOL...this is just info Ian fed to a crappy, barely legit, online news outlet who doesn't quote anyone else in the piece but Ian.  So basically we have no more credible info than we had when Ian first made his claim.

And I actually like Ian.

Are we sure they aren't all in London to just pass out this years shares of the tour proceeds. Have a board meeting to write it all off? Keep my fingers crossed but also keeping expectations very low. Hardly need any more Doom and Gloom!

I see ... my bad. I thought you were saying hopefully what they were doing in the studio <right now> is not for the purpose of simply recording a few songs that will be tacked on to a greatest hits package. ...

I was gonna say .. well <why> they heck would you think that concept in the cards at all here this time anyway..?


Ian

A healthy wee bit of cynicism is always useful in the world of a Stones fan!

Yes, I'm very pleased, like you, that something appears to be coming together - although I still stand by what I suggested during the summer when this was first speculated - that I would put good money on us still being waiting on a new Stones album a year later (summer 2016).

Can't see too many windows for finishing a new record by then as they'll be busy rehearsing and touring from January - March.

I'd also like to believe they'll play a few Euro dates next summer. Doing so in June during the Euro 2016 football tournament would be a silly move though which only realistically leaves July and a bit of August.

Doesnt really matter when they put it out anyway. They dont have the same urgency to rush a release out in time for a tour as they days of prolonged tours for months on end are over.

I still maintain that after the ABB tour ended in 2007 they had no intention of ever making another record.

They'd allowed their EMI contract to expire and eventuually got around to signing short term deals with UMG which didnt even oblige them to produce new material. That makes their intentions at that time pretty evident to me (add in various other subsequent factors like Mick and Keith's relationship breakdown over the latter's autobiography, Keith having his basement studio removed from his home, saying that he was contemplating retirement and his decision to write songs for a solo album instead of a Stones record).

They've simply IMO come to the logical conclusion that having milked another spell of touring behind a greatest hits package, there's a bit of credibility and legacy at stake and it makes sense to at least pay lip service to the notion that they're not exclusively an oldies act.

10 years isnt just a long time between an artist's records - it's also a long time in anyone's career when theyre in their 60s and 70s. Mindsets can change. I dont think it'll change to the degree where we'll see shows that'll deviate much in content and presentation from what has been so lucrative in recent years, but at least they'll make some new music. And I think it might be pretty good.

My sources tell me that Mick and Keith are locked in the kitchen and Charlie can't find the key,

I don't think many here looked at the <big picture> provided their health held up. The Stones do things as they feel like it... They dont plan five years ahead. They just couldn't do it and the timing wasn't right on some of those years to record.. but I dont think they consciously thought "No more records" or "enough of all that" or anything like that lol. I think they still held the possibility of a new album very open in the future.. just not on board at the moment is how I think it was. I dont think any of them was turned off or <dis-interested> at the notion what so ever as so many here felt...?

Now personally I was much more concerned and actually for the most part thought Keith was physically unable to perform much anymore... Incredibly ... boy was I wrong lol. He plays now better than he did Their last tour ...

I thought his health had deteriorated or something had happened which would mean he could not tour or maybe not even perform whole shows anymore... there was a lot of talk.. and even some truth to his not being ready just yet. Incredibly he pulled through and is doing just fine in a fully functioning Rolling Stones band again... it's amazing. .. Who would of ever thought

Anyway Keiths health was my big concern ...I knew they would eventually get to doing another album again in time.. and provided their health held up. Sure.. they never said we want to record another album .. but they never said they really didn't have any interest either. It just took some time to come around.. What the hell else were they gonna do ... solo albums constantly and from here on out Lol Nahhhhh.? That would be them fooling themselves.


The only thing I thought that would stop them from doing another record was the possibility of someones health failing in the band was my opinion.

*I mean ... Look ... they did another record after Dirty Work and Bridges to Babylon didn't they? .. and those sessions were not exactly smooth. A Bigger Bang went just great between Mick and Keith ... Sooner or later I expected them to get on with another record at some point. Look at it that way ... I did.

It is surely slighty too early to suggest that this will be the band's first triple-album. That would be a little too quirky.
But super-Christoldarseholes, there's lovely Stoonz niffs and sniffs looming in the air.

If it was a Wyman project the working title would be 'Teenage Pussy.' For actual release it would be 'Cossi Finiva' , or 'Anus Availible'....subtitled; 'As Long As you're 13 years old.' I bet Billyboy came up with the line "13 years old in Stray Cat Blues."

I was listening to the classic rock radio station today and it was announced the Stones are in the studio in London and there will be a North American tour in late summer 2016. It was confirmed by someone inside the Stones camp, so, it's true, or could be true.

Honestly; the Stones must have learned from Kenneth Anger how to be in several locations at the same time. Keith's theory of relativity. Quantum horse shit.

As for classic rock radio, that's all we get in Australia. Home of the 40 to 60 year old male tradesman, tool belt, plaid shirt, khaki trousers, Aussie brand working boots, can of some fosters, Vic' Bitter, Carlton, etc in hand; oh! and of course arse crack just showing, to prove we didn't spend all day getting spastic drunk, and playing air guitar to fucking AC/DC, and Cold fucking Chisel. Nostalgia! Urrrrrg. I'd rather One Direction when I've got a migrane.

Looking forward to The Song of The Summer, Stones style!

Here is a quick "Hello South America .. See ya soon' video with all of them in the studio on their last day there before their little holiday break ..  Now... don't get too excited .. they are not 'playing' in this video ... (naturally) .. BUT it is at least shot in the studio where they are / were recording ....

Well I for one( for what it's worth), don't think you were trying to predict the future, I like your posts Ian, they are to the point and optimistic, in a cynical, shrivelling world. Keep it up cock. Mofo.

I look forward to this thread lighting up,

Yes, I'm very pleased, like you, that something appears to be coming together - although I still stand by what I suggested during the summer when this was first speculated - that I would put good money on us still being waiting on a new Stones album a year later (summer 2016). Can't see too many windows for finishing a new record by then as they'll be busy rehearsing and touring from January - March. I'd also like to believe they'll play a few Euro dates next summer. Doing so in June during the Euro 2016 football tournament would be a silly move though which only realistically leaves July and a bit of August. Doesnt really matter when they put it out anyway. They dont have the same urgency to rush a release out in time for a tour as they days of prolonged tours for months on end are over. ____________________________________ I never disagreed that it would be a long while before any Stones album was or could be complete...  I only stated that they still had a strong interest in recording another product and that they would eventually ... sooner or later get around to doing that in making a new album again ... that's all ... which (was) very contrary to 90% of the members opinions here ..

Well thanks (I think? Lol :d ha).

Anyway .. I wonder if they plan on going back in the studio for another week or two after Christmas .. yet <before> they head to South America or wherever for rehearsals for the South American Tour? ... Anyone know what the plan is with that? Are they still planning on doing another few weeks in The Studio before South America rehearsals?

We really need some fantastic lyrics!

I'll ask again .. perhaps Gazza knows.. he is usually pretty good in knowing their time line or tentative schedules.

Are they planning on continuing some more recording (week ...10 days.. a couple weeks?) before The South American tour and are they all still in London? Is their even any time to get a couple more weeks in recording for them?

Ian

Ian, I think Gazza might need to ask you!

I havent been keeping track of where they are and havent heard anything but I very much doubt they'll do much in the way of recording (if any) before they start rehearsals for the next tour leg.

They could do another week or two but nothing more. They will need a solid 10 days to rehearse and brush up for the live gigs and they don't have much wiggle room there. Perhaps another week or so .. We shall see?

are those rented mules?

Not one spotting, sighting or shot of them during Christmas ... very strange, indeed. The media knows when to keep them under their hat and they usually have a solid reason for that... perhaps they are busy on and off?


Are they all still in London ... A good indication of what is still going on ..or is going to take place in the first half of January may be the location of Keith's guitar tech .. Pierre de Beauport.. Is he still in London?

If all The Stones are still in London (including Pierre de Beauport) .. then it is fairly safe to assume they are going to record a bit in January or may be continuing recording off and on as we speak about it ..

Does anyone know their where-abouts? They may be working on it off and on through-out the holidays and may record a bit in January (couple weeks) .. before The South American rehearsals if they are all still in London.

Any clue?

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Almost always (last 6 or 7 years) they would be covered by the press or at least one of them would be at least saying hello in a snap shot or status / tweet or traveling some where over the holidays. This year.. the press has given them a pass..

I'm not saying they are in the studio 'all day every day' .. and certainly they were with their families just as well as each-other over the holidays ... What I was saying is I do think they are def. working on something on and off and so the press lays low for them and so have they this holiday season is all I was saying.

I'm looking forward to Ole Tour, new music, dancing, etc. in 2016 and beyond.

We've got this thread going for us, which is nice.

Maybe just maybe they've chosen not to go anywhere high profile and maybe the  media just find other celebrities' movements more interesting. Its not as if there arent many other celebs who are worthy of the paparazzi's time.

Could be ... but I'm kinda doubting it. None of them have been shot or gave any public hellos or made any statements via social media in over a month? (besides the clip they did from within the studio about the SA tour).

Don't get me wrong.. I am not saying they are all hiding under ground working every single day on the album.. What I'm saying is that I can bet they are together here and there writing / recording/ or doing demos for said product.

They have laid very low.. all through the holiday season and for a month now.. no pictures.. no nothing. You see ... The Press / Media knows they are working on something and don't want to be photographed.. so ...since The Stones are still regarded and <under good standing> with the press they don't post or seek them out during said times. That's how it goes. ..(Now again .. I'm not saying they are together every single day or completely .. but seems like they are definitely purposefully keeping under wraps).

Besides.. Look ...they cannot start all major writing and recording in April and expect an album due in fall ..no way. My guess is they are getting a good start on things right now ..Then they will finish in spring and in early summer and mix it during the summer for a fall / late fall release. By the time line involved with the SA tour.. they would almost <need> to be in the studio or somewhere working on it..here and there ... it would only make sense.

If they want an album out in late summer / early fall...they darn well better be moving on it as we speak. Remember.. all of February  and March will be tied up .. (I SERIOUSLY doubt.. at their age they will even dream about recording on the road while on tour.. no way).

The press have an understanding to leave the Stones alone?

Are you for real?

If they cant leave the bloody Royal Family alone, they're hardly going to single out a group of ageing rockstars for kid gloves treatment in case they get upset!

They're leaving them alone because hardly anyone cares ffs!

Dudes need to bust a move.

No .. if nobody cared Rolling Stone Magazine and a slew of others would not of been reporting it.. either the press cares or they don't...but it is not both.

So why has nobody photographed them. Certainly following or finding Mick Jagger is not that difficult to people in the press, in the know and that have a mission. Why not take a snap shot of them going <in> to the studio or report where? Because they are laying off of them right now <purposefully> .. is what I'm saying is all.

So now I have a question for you .. if they are not working on the album now, and they plan to have an album out next late summer or fall .. when on earth do you think they will pick up recording it again. Would it make sense to let precious time waste and try picking everything up again in April? ...May? ... Now way Gazz.. that is not realistic and that would be not enough time.

When the release date or studio sessions for this album are released I am sure they will be listed in January 16 every bit as December 15.

UPI sources indicate that U.S. publications Newsweek & Creem Magazine along with London paper News of the World are preparing coverage.

Ian, I'm not saying they aren't working on an album but my bet is either another couple songs at most or I'd speculate that they are secluded each individually secluded in their many mansions, sleeping during the day, enjoying their vast wealth, and getting caned. The reason the press are not covering them is that they have to allocate their funds to where demand is the highest and they are not going to send photographers or their employees to Mustique, the Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, Connecticut, Sussex, or even somewhere in London when the majority of their readers don't give a toss about the Stones recording an album. Now if Mick was shagging some actress, then they would, but people generally don't care. The idea that the press are respecting the privacy of the Stones is laughable. They don't GIVE A TOSS about the Stones or their privacy.

Caning is a bit harsh for men their ages, to be brutally frank about it. Caning can leave deep bruises and welts, which would take longer to heal on older men (even for a guy in good shape like Mick). No, they'd be best off with light floggings (suede floggers don't sting as much and don't leave many red marks) or spankings. But--all those punishments are probably old hat to these guys by now, so I suspect that their dominants need to be more creative.

If I hadn't done a good job since 1981, I would've been fired in 1982.

Erm, UK slang . . .

Lol .. Ok Gazza and The Wick .. then they aren't working on it. In fact.. there is no album.. your both right. .. ... .


Guys.. their plan was to pick things back up in January after Christmas.

Why on Gods planet are some of the people on rocksoff so hell bent on thinking they cant be in the studio (even though things point to the the notion that they probably would have to be at this time) ...just like there was no interest in making a new album.

Guys.. they PLANNED on being in the studio right now.. They PLAN on releasing an album next year and they have already started on it. There have been no sightings or reportings on them.

Why the fuck are you guys so against the concept right down to the probability they are recording or writing material ... Lol W-O-W

If anything .. in all probability there is a damn good chance they are.. or at least SHOULD be at this point. Lol ... this is incredible what I go through here about something that <is> ... just like YES they are going to do another album.. now that we are past that ...now its <no .. they aren't in the studio working on it as they said they had planned .. they are getting blasted all secluded in their mansions> ....

When the album does finally drop you and Gazza and a handfull of others will be arguing with me it was all Mick Jagger songs and Keith couldn't even contribute to it hes so far gone .. OR ... You'll be saying that it isn't actually The Stones on the record ..... it is a group who's dupped them.... wow lol

When did I say there was 'no album' ? Stop twisting my words or making shit up.

All a bit rich considering your utter denial about Keith making an album until the day it was officially announced.

Vague statements about working on songs in the New Year mean nothing. Nor do tentative timeframes for the release of a record. No one's rushing them or badgering them for a release date but you, it would appear!

The fact that they're not spending much time together is irrelevant. They dont even have to be in the same continent as each other to make a record, let alone in the same room.

Ah, didn't know that was a thing other than the common meaning of being beaten with a cane. I had to look that one up. Probably still not a good idea as one or more of the guys could be on prescription meds that wouldn't mix well with alcohol.

Delusional .. tell me something .. how can that be? ...because Ronnie said they are to start working in December on an album and then get back together in January? Because they already started on it in December Lol .. and they are all still in the same country.

Hell .. at least my theory has a basis .. your theory that they aren't recording has absolutely none.. yet I'm the one delusional?  What makes you so right? Just because you say they arent.. Im just going by what they said and what we already know for sure.

Yet Im the one delusional? .. How do you come to that one?

All a bit rich considering your utter denial about Keith making an album until the day it was officially announced.


>> Well yeah .. he had been putting it off for like four years.. (and working on it for five) ...I had a reason to be very skeptical. But I'll admit I was wrong about that in the end.

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

The fact that they're not spending much time together is irrelevant.


>> They just spent a couple weeks together at least for certain.. and how on earth do you know if they are spending time together or not? Nobodys seen any of them in over a month? (well except a video from .. oh ...btw ....them in the studio lol.. or maybe I dreamed that?)


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

They dont even have to be in the same continent as each other to make a record, let alone in the same room.



>> What...? What do you mean they don't have to be in the same continent together to make a record ..? What are you talking about?

Tracks can be made with artists in different parts of the world. The recent Don Henley track with Mick...Mick wasn't even in Don's presence when he recorded the vocals.

It happens all the time.

Unleash hell Ian! You will all rue the day...

Ian, look at what I wrote. I didn't say they aren't recording a new album but if I had to put money on it, it would be on a couple tracks like they have done for the last 10 years and I'll add to that and say that if they have got together recently it has more to do with Exhibitionism than a new album. You may be right and I hope you are because I would love to hear new stuff, but I don't have high hopes. As for the press, they don't give a crap about the Stones unless it's a slow news day or there is a scandal, a tragedy, baby news, or a wedding.

Ian, they did a few days together or a couple of weeks (at best) which ended a couple of weeks before Christmas. I said 'not spending much time together at present' . Is English your first language? The video they posted was a Christmas message - which was obviously filmed er....sometime before Christmas

As for not even having to be in the same room - have you ever heard of things like overdubs or pro tools?

Ronnie didnt play with the band on A Bigger Bang. He added about four days worth of overdubs a couple of months later because he was drying out when the rest of the band were together. He's hardly on the album at all.

When they recorded 'Watching The River Flow' for the Boogie4Stu album about four years ago with Ben Waters, Ronnie and Charlie did their parts in London, Keith then added his contribution in New York and finally Mick did his vocal in his home in the south of France.

I'm going to drop some acid and re-read this thread. Might actually make sense that way.

__________________________________________

>> Yes I've heard about Pro tools and overdubs .. but guy .. that is <not> how The Rolling Stones work on an album as far as recording the meat of the project.

The only time Mick and Keith were not directly involved in the writing process and recording together was Tattoo You... because it was simply an album comprised of collecting and sprucing up out takes.

In knowing how The Rolling Stones work on every single other album .. Mick, Keith, Charlie (at least are always present during the meat of the sessions).

I don't know how else to say this but my gosh .... You reach for everything against the fact ...when it comes to them recording... now it appears you are reaching to or pointing things toward they may not even be working on the album 'together' at all when they try to create it and could potentially do this while all in different countries (?) .. and that has no basis.

Look ...Here is what we know for sure A. The Rolling Stones are planning on a new studio album   B. They have already started on it  C. They planned on working on it this year   D. They were all in London working on it previously and they are all still in London as far as we all know.

Reports are they worked very hard on it for a few weeks ..
Ronnie said they were to work up until Christmas and then get back together in January on it.

That is what we know for certain thus far.. Some times.. <it is what it is> Some times it's not always 'something else' ...some times things are what they are lol. Just as per our discussion as to who worked on what and how much and who wrote what on A Bigger Bang .. Gazza .. <and people> See here ..>> I'm just going by what they say and what is reported and the facts that we currently know for sure.

Same is true right now. I'm not the one delusional or half baked.. fuck Im just going by the facts of what we know for sure and what they say lol (not sure why so many here have such a problem with me following those lines all the time).

And anyway .. Like I originally said ... I wasn't saying 110 % for certain they were working on it.. I was simply saying 'my guess' is that they are .. I was simply saying there was a very good chance of that...and odds are much more of that than against it. . yet everyone jumps on this bandwagon of thats crazy .. they dont even need to be in the same country together make an album (which is not realistic .. no not all of them at every juncture but fwuck ya can have each of the four of them at opposite ends of the planet and expect them to get an album out.. that isnt realistc)

Ian, you are correct and we are all wrong. You are terribly underappreciated on this board - I'd quit and take your brilliance elsewhere. You do not deserve this shabby treatment.

Some new great material seems a little more urgent today.

Hate to state the obvious but 'planning to do something' doesnt necessarily mean its happening or is going to happen at the time you (vaguely) intended.

I know this is a bit hard to grasp for some Americans, but theres a lot more to the UK than London. How do you know they're 'all in London' ?  Charlie lives about 150-200 miles away. Keith lives about 90 miles away (when he's there at all)

Pierre de Beauport returning to the US a week before Christmas (and posting as such on fb) and giving no updates on his whereabouts since to suggest he's left the US would suggest that if Keith is in the UK, its highly unlikely he's doing much recording there.

I'm with Some Guy on this. Today's news gives a bit of perspective. I hope they get around to making new music sooner rather than later.

Lol .. so you are still clinging to the fact that they may not even have plans to make an album ... ? (where does it end?)

Again .. I'm just going by what they say and what we know for sure.

Last we heard they were all in London.

I don't know that they are not all in London. If Keith is still in London and not Connecticut breaking before the SA tour he is there for a 'reason'. Charlie and Woody and Mick still being in London isn't that big of a deal.

Gazza seriously I'll ask .. do you or don't you think they are planning a brand new studio album? Do you or don't you think they actually started on it ...and do you or don't you think they plan on releasing it some time in 2016? (everything here points to you believing they most likely aren't? ..and that is perplexing).

It's like you are still clinging so badly to them 'not' ... Guy ..<it is what it is ..it's not that hard to accept ..that is what all this is about and has been since December with them>.

Whats wrong with "yeah they are planning to release an album this year and they already started on it and there is a good chance they are still working on it here and there' ...>> What is so strange about that?<(my stance .. I dont know why everyone here looks for every single other thing). My opinion on this is based on facts in this situation, and their statements about it ... and what we know for sure. Almost everyone else here is speculating and going against the grain on this....lol not me (just respectfully saying).

Ian

You know what, Ian?

Today I simply don't give a flying fuck.

Splitting hairs about where the Stones might or might not be sleeping this week really isn't something that keeps me awake at night.

If you want to get yourself off twisting my words into something that i havent said, be my guest.

Well so? You still have not answered my questions Gazza?

(and anyway ...even if Woody said they just finished working on the album earlier that day.. you would say he was vague or that they most likely were just goofing off with a few lose demos in there without really getting anything serious done  lol.. who are we kidding? OR .. you say he is bull shitting.. which I actually must concede that Ronnie can exaggerate.... or he throws things out there that never happen). 

As far the SA rehearsals starting.. we already knew mid January they were going to start rehearsals... I didnt expect them to record through the whole month even if they were.

I've told you - I'm fucked off answering your questions which go round and round in circles. I didnt realise I was accountable to you

The comments to Gazza were a <joke>. There would never be any dispute or debate.. but some folks (not meaning Gazza ... however I might mean yourself.. don't know how to respectfully disagree... OR have no real opinion of their own ...and that is fine.. BUT how those same people be so quick to say my views are all skewed and throw insults simply because I have a different opinion...

This year starts a new year.. I am just simply tossing a little shit back now a days ...that's all (and you guys can't take that.. Guess what.. I never insult anyone here ... & my other thought to that is simple .. if you cannot take it every once in a while... don't dish it out. Not understanding the uprise simply because there is a lil retaliation.

You brought up Bill Perks (lol) ... People such as Bill Perks and Sir Stones Alot were pussies lol <excuse my language ...but there is no other way to put it). They talked a big talk .. and tossed out insults at every turn ... and acted like they were the coolest people here..  but when something didn't go so well on here they up and quit and went elsewhere like a couple of babies (I can call them out on it.. in fact.. If I would of known they were that spineless I would of simply called them out on that back then ...

If I was that much of a wimp .. I would of quit posting ten years ago ...

Oh Jesus. I wasnt suggesting you leave. Its Comedy Gold, after all...and youre a mate. I just wasnt around long enough yesterday to respond in any detail.

I think someone on IORR clarified what Ronnie said was that theyre departing to start rehearsals on Saturday - not actually starting them.

I'd be surprised if they were working together at any time in the last 3 weeks. Unlike the US, Britain basically closes down over Xmas/New Year. Even people who dont work to a regular timetable like you or me dont tend to do anything in that time.  I havent heard anything about Keith being in the UK over the new year - he's usually in the Caribbean around that time, based on previous habits.

I'm just not really getting worked up about whether theyre making a record at any given time or not. They'll make one OK (that I agree with) but as they appear to be recording it around an ongoing tour schedule (something they havent done since 'Black and Blue' for anyone who's paying attention) I'd imagine what work they do together will be in short bursts and sporadic.  I dont think its realistic to get much in the way of updates and the only thing that really matters is that it comes out eventually and its good - whether thats in 6 months, 9 months or a year or more.

I was not talking about you ... You stick to the issues and disagree on the topic and present info on the topic .... or ribb me a bit but it is not malicious ..that is different.. That is admirable (and respectful). I know you well and you wernt saying anything like that.... lol I was talking about some other asshole who has no opinion of his or her own.

In fact... Maybe I should tell him or her that they should 'go between my legs'? ;) But naaaah that would be getting down to their level.

April Fools' Day is celebrated every year on 1 April by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and their victims are called April fools.

Some newspapers, magazines, and other published media report fake stories, which are usually explained the next day or below the news section in small letters.

I never expose my prank.  :whydontcha

I don't think this is an April fools Joke .. there is nothing here that darn surprising or shocking to constitute it as any sort of possible prank Lol (at least ... not to most of the rest of the world or besides 90% of the pessimistic Rocks Off crowd in still thinking an album is not at all probable .. :D ).

I (as well as the rest of the planet.. believe a New Stones album is underway / 'in the works').

However I don't believe the album is actually 'in the can' Lol. My thought is that they got a darn good start on it probably.. that's all. Keith is just being 'Keith' ....IMO ..  exaggerating things as usual.


Ian

Totally agree, Ian.

I hope you were sitting down when you read that.

No April Fool from me!

Some hysterical overreaction to this story on social media. If Keith doesn't know if its a good album or not then its most definitely not "in the can". 

They spent about two weeks in the studio before Christmas. They werent recording in January and have spent February and March on the road.

i'd expect a few weeks of polishing things up over the early/mid summer and a new record out in the autumn to give them some kind of 'excuse' for another round of live dates.

___________________________________


Yes I was sitting (thankfully). I do know Mick was in a studio in January .. in NYC (read it and was spoken from Mick himself .. in fact that is where he first was played the David Bowie album, Blackstar .. though Bowie was not there.). I don't know who was with him or what he was doing there ... Could of been about the sound track or score from Vinyl or something ... or he could of been dropping by for something else non-Stones related ... or perhaps it was Stones related ..(trying different Mixes .. I dunno.. I kinda doubt it ..who knows.. )?

I think Mick also suggested they (The Stones) were going into the studio in late Spring. Now ... I'm not doubting they didn't work quite a lot in those few weeks.. but as you mentioned.. Keith is just exaggerating about it being basically finished lol

My guess is that there is still plenty of recording to do (not to forget there will be mixing on the record afterward).

__________________________________________


Well.. Mr Gazz I do not want to start another go-around.. hell it's only early spring .. that is for the summer months with you and I debating things like this out ( :D ).

However I disagree.. I don't think them making an album is an 'excuse' of any sort..in touring or not to tour. They could (and have been) tour and still fill up places just fine.. album or no album.

As you know.. making an album takes considerable work .. (and ample time) whether songs are already written or not (it is a chore .. and can be an extensive one). They have more to risk in putting out something mediocre (or poor) if they were not 'into it' than simply not putting anything out or lots of work into a release.

The Stones are not doing 'anything' at this point and time for any other reason than for the wanting to do it IMO .. (they are filthy rich.. old.. and could easily retire or have rested on their past and still did shows here and there or tours if they wanted to. That has been the reality of the situation for a long while now...

If The Stones are doing something these days it is because ..they simply ..<want>.. to do it (dudes are in their 70's yo ....).. I think.. they think ..they still can make a darn good record and still have something to offer that is quality from that side of things. I think they are into doing exactly that... for that purpose ...so they chose to do it. They do not need an excuse to do anything.. They are The Rolling Stones  (and in their 70's) .. Although they like at least 'something' to coincide with their shows / tours... They could tour behind nothing at all .. (or another re-release) if they wanted to ... or with no other underlying motive or concept at all quite easily if it was only about that. They are doing a record because they simply want to go into the studio and make one again..


Ian

They hardly need any excuses at this point to tour. I have to believe the rash of rocker deaths the past while particularly Bowie has the boys feeling why waste time? This is what we love let's go for it.....Oh and $5-$7 million a night isn't a bad motivator either.....

Supposedly Ronnie let it slip yesterday that the sessions in December consisted of an album of blues covers

That might account for the recent gossip that the record is 'finished'

Not exactly a type of record that would take them long to make.

It's also the sort of album they could have knocked together in a few days at any time in the eleven years since they made their last one....

" Wood added that the album would tentatively arrive "this year." Wood made the new album remarks in London at the group's "Exhibitionism" exhibit at the city's Saatchi Gallery. The event was also attended by Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards, who wasn't as forthcoming as Wood when it came to new album details. "There's one coming," Richards admitted. "I can't say no more. My lips are sealed."

Well ... Gazza .. Richards wasn't lying after all.. they did cut more tracks than perhaps any other time in a two week span. They probably did 15 tracks or more...!!!!

Oh wait...  The only issue is that probably only four or five of them were their songs.. Lol the rest is simply them playing blues covers . ( ... :o .... :D ... That is Keith for ya .. smh Lol)


However IMO this album will not be an album of Blues covers... it will be basically all new material (IMO they are not going to be working this thing up for it being an album of covers... It's been 11 years yo there boys! ..and if ya can't do any more than that after 11 years then SHAME On YOU!! Lol).

The December sessions were just a warm up IMO. Keith also added they are working in the Studio right now on stuff and Mick is quoted as saying their current studio work is sounding 'really good' and they will do more. I do have a feeling it will be a pretty 'blues based' record... Then again .. What Stones album isn't in one way or another?? ...ha.

So if it's Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter covers- what does our crack staff think it might be?

They think they might need more crack.  :pullanolte

Meet Me In The Bottom is a Wolf cover they've done since day 1 which has never been officially released. Keith has already shown fondness for Little Walter's version of Key To The Highway and for Blue and Lonesome, the track he's listening to when Under The Influence starts. Those are my educated guesses.

Personally,  I'm psyched they're finally doing a blues album.  I've wished for it for decades.

Listening to XM today, the DJ passed on this info about the new album having at least 2 blues covers.
Also a fall U.S. Tours seems to be in the works.
It looks like tentative plans I have for vacation later this summer and fall will stay tentative.
The Stones tour takes precedence of course.
We are the luckiest fuckers in the world. 54 years and still rolling.

The Stones are life the rest is just details.

Alpha and Omega.

Said it before - they should do what the Beatles did when they re-created the front cover of their debut album for the aborted 'Get Back' album (they later used both pics for the 'Red' and 'Blue' album covers), and just call the new album "England's Oldest Hitmakers"

They would need a new hit though.

What subject would a hit song cover sung by older gentleman?

Honestly don't think they need a hit anymore. The don't need to prove themselves. Mick should just let go of this idea of making the radio parades again

Look at Springsteen. He may be the biggest act on the world right now, and his songs rarely play on the radio. He's aged gracefully

I think the idea of an album of blues covers is awesome. Throw in there Mick's mean harp playing, Ronnie's awesome slide playing and Keith's licks and you have a great back to basics album

We would like something Some Girls- esque honestly

I agree! I love real blues. I still listen to Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker on a regular basis. I like the Stones' blues covers I've heard in the past and "Back of My Hand" is one of my all-time fave blues songs. Hell, it's one of my all-time fave songs, period. I'd love to hear more music along those lines!

Some Guy is a warrior - !

Ok now onto the album:

Lol .. everyone complains The Stones don't put out any fresh material .. and now here is everyone wanting an album of blues covers...?

I don't want a friggin album of blues ...uh 'covers' (although I would like to hear a few on a special release or certain edition or something) .. I want a damn Rolling Stones album smh Lol

I  (we...The World) did not wait 11 years to get an album of songs they didn't write or some kind of cover / concept album, yo .. .... I (most) want an actual Stones Studio Release ...minus a total concept album and minus doing only cover songs Lol

Onto how it actually is and will go down:

Will the album be basically only an extensive album of Blues covers - no.

Is the album basically 'in the bag' as Keith stated - no.

Are they working on it - yes.

*There is a possibility they wrote something (a song or a few songs) in South America that has a 'latino vibe'.. hence the dude from Super Heavy being involved with Mick currently (pure speculation.. and only saying 'what if'?).

Anyway .. back to the album being finished ... Well For example Mick says they are going into The Studio to record more... >> Well for what...? It's already in the bag.. its already basically all recorded according to Keith lol (and most likely mixed) .. << Sarcasm.

I think by very very late June / early July ..the album will be fully recorded. I think by mid August it will be mixed and ready to go. I think it will be out / released in October. That is how I kinda feel it's going ...

Ian?...any stock picks I can short??

I'm not, Whilst I think it could be good, its something they could have dusted off in two days at any time in the last decade.

If, after an eleven year gap between their last record, they're so bereft of inspiration that they cant put out a dozen decent original songs for what will (going by the gap between releases in the last two decades as a yardstick)  probably be their final album, then its time to call it for what it is. Proof that they're washed up.

Presumably the blues were to get their tongues, fingers and bottoms comfortable? Or for a bonus disc?

_________________________________________

If you are saying all they could come up with thus far is blues covers then I think you are wrong... I'm pretty sure they have plenty, or at least 'will have' plenty of their own original material to record.

>> The session in December was just to get their feet planted. That's all it was... as they noted in the very beggining. As far as them having to do blues covers ... they  <always> do blues covers when they are in the studio. The only difference is that this time they did a whole slew in getting some ground work laid down and someone recorded every one of them is all it seems.

If you are saying there is all the proof we need they are washed up studio wise lol .. ....Well why not wait until <AFTER> you hear the album before you claim or decide they are washed up studio wise Lol smh.

They are recording an album .. wouldn't it make more sense to wait until it's released in finally hearing it to make that call?

Again .. the session in December was simply to get the ball rolling. I'm sure they have or will have <plenty> of original stuff. This album is not going to be an album of covers.. so forget that idea right now.

>If you are saying all they could come up with thus far is blues covers then I think you are wrong...

You seem to have ignored the use of the word 'if' in my statement, which renders the rest of the above statement and your subsequent argument pointless.

>I'm pretty sure they have plenty, or at least 'will have' plenty of their own original material to record.

You aren't 'pretty sure' at all because you have nothing other than wishful thinking to go on. They may indeed have plenty of their own material. As there's nothing to suggest they're going to record and release them, then that supposition is meaningless.

> The session in December was just to get their feet planted. That's all it was... as they noted in the very beggining.

And now they're releasing them instead of original material. Easy option. If it was 'just to get their feet planted' then they wouldnt be planning to put it out.


>If you are saying there is all the proof we need they are washed up studio wise lol .. .

You might need to read what I said again instead of putting words in my mouth.

>...Well why not wait until <AFTER> you hear the album before you claim or decide they are washed up studio wise 

Which album is this? the album of covers which they've stated that they ARE releasing or the one of originals that you reckon they'll make at some point in the future?

The latter, as yet, doesnt exist. So I'll base my statement on what IS happening as opposed to some kind of fantasy album. A band who has released two new songs in eleven years, with hardly any solo work in the interim period, who then choose to throw together an album of covers cut in two days in favour of working on new songs can be safely said to be lacking in creativity.

>Lol smh.

What does this even mean?

>They are recording an album .. wouldn't it make more sense to wait until it's released in finally hearing it to make that call?

What call? As I've said, it'll probably be very good. But as its covers, I cant see how you can seriously make an argument that it shows they're bursting with fresh ideas.

I hope so. By the way, could you tell Ronnie Wood about your findings? He seems to be convinced its an album of blues covers.  The other guitarist in the band (his name escapes me) also seems to think that, having spent a few days together in December, the next record is finished.

Cant say I know of him. No mention of One Direction here, but a resumé of Swedish House Mafia, Nicki Minaj and The Black Eyed Peas screams the words 'solo project' as opposed to 'Stones album'.

You and I both know and agree Mr. Keith is full of BS ... If the album is in the can.. why are they recording again (perhaps he was referring to it is basically ready to be fully recorded with fresh material ready to go?).

I think for once Ronnie purposefully planted the statements about them doing all kinds of blues covers as an 'indicator' that what they have done so far has been blues based and inspired by the blues (along with the covers they recorded).


*This is not Stripped part 2 and it is ... not an album of covers... They are recording a new studio album (fresh material.. newly cut... A newbie .. but possibly a final adding to the long list of studio releases in their catalog).

Do I 'know' that. Well of course not .. I'm not right there in the studio with em. It just makes sense.. because if that is not the case and you are right.. Mr. Billen throws in the towel and concedes .. they are completely dried up and washed up as far as new stuff goes.

However I think .. and am pretty darn sure this a fresh new studio album... Not any sort of retrospect or covers edition (though it may contain a cover or two.. or some sort of special edition with additional covers as some of their other albums have in the past).

Still either way .. this is no rendition .. or set of covers to be released...  ..  This is a brand new Rolling Stones studio album, my friend. 

>If the album is in the can.. why are they recording again (perhaps he was referring to it is basically ready to be fully recorded with fresh material ready to go?).

Possibly you did.

The Associated Press reported today that the British rock legends plan to release a new platter some time this year.

“We went in to cut some new songs, which we did,” Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood told the AP. “But we got on a blues streak. We cut 11 blues in two days.

I am with you on that concept. I would 'love' to hear 10-11 odd blues covers by them ... in an all blues covers album..

HOWEVER NOT in place of a brand new studio album!!! (Im with you there).

I'd simply <love> to hear an album of 11 blues covers done real.y well by them with a certain aura and sound to it. It would be a nice special edition ...but that could of been done at any time within the past.. Oh lol 10 years as you said. I still very much want something like that.. but goodness .. that isn't hard for them to do. Set aside a friggin week and they could have that knocked out easy at any time.. that's no effort for them really.

That is or would be as easy as pie for them to do and they could of done that at any given time.. NOT NOW.. because now..(see below)


RIGHT NOW I want an all new Rolling Stones studio album, thank you very much!

**Giving us an album of covers at this very point and time would be a slap in the face in a sense .. Blues or no blues covers and regardless of how fantastic it was. Save it or incorporate it but we want a new studio album upfront, yo!

Yeah ... 'in the can' ... alright.. meaning full of BS Keith Richards (as we figured) !!


Ronnie blabs..= half the time its total bull ...half the time its factual... that's the problem with his smeil .. ya just never know lol. 

Keith Blabs - 75% of everything he says is an exaggeration... just like right now .. another major exaggeration Lol

Charile - doesn't blab .. he doesn't say much at all .. that's why he's Charlie.

Micks comments - Most of the time he is evasive.. however when he does manage to make mention of something it is few and far between .. and his commentary is very short.. >> ...however Micks actual comments are what's generally truly taking place ....


Ian

"Keith Blabs - 75% of everything he says is an exaggeration... just like right now .. another major exaggeration "

Yep....like A Bigger Bang being a pretty even creative collaboration  :waka-jawaka

"however Micks actual comments are what's generally truly taking place ...."

NOW ya get it.....

_____________________________________


I always got that.. I never thought it was 100% totally even .. (let's not spin it into something it wasn't). I agree Mick had a bit more to do with the writing that album .... but it sure as hell was no 90 to 10% thing like so many tried to say it was. 

Keith was never the one who said they worked 100% evenly  at any stage ... It was their producer Don Was, engineer Kirsh Sharma and Charlie Watts .. and the content creator of the DVD on the making of the album and Rolling Stone magazine who covered it.

*In fact ... Keith said Mick had the 'lions share' of demos brought in for that album ..


I figured it was a 60/40 affair.. Nothing in song writing is ever really 50-50.

Ya-all acted like these songs were only Mick Jagger songs and Keith really had no creative input to the sessions much at all ...  that was anything but true and from all the research I've done it was only reported they worked closer on creating the songs than they had in a very long time.

Look .. I investigated the sessions and what took place probably by at the VERY LEAST <twice> as much as anyone here.. (no kidding)... From everything I could find out.. Mick had a bit more demos brought in but that is as far as it went... and as well they really collaborated in the writing process better than they had in a very long time. If it was the opposite or not the case of what it the consensus I'd just say so Lol (it isn't).

On a few few of The songs Keith actually did the majority of the writing in which nobody here ever dreamed was possible ... EX: It Wont Take Long... Rough Justice... Look What The Cat Dragged in etc.


We can go back and forth over it until the cows come. However ... All the evidence.. (and interviews and articles about the making of that particular album) and research I've done on that very topic clearly mentioned is that it was a very 'collaborative effort' between Mick and Keith. That is what I must go with. Until you find something concrete that proves the opposite.. you have your opinion on what took place and I have mine.

The only people who say it was not and that Mick did most of the writing is people 'not in the know' and on a few message boards. All the people involved and who were there (as well as a few of the band members themselves) say the opposite or contrary to that.

>> Again .. just going by what the people who were there and actually involved in the making of the album and who professionally covered the situation say / said ...
