Mick Jagger - Mick Jagger Having Fun With New Rolling Stones Material
19 September 2011 04:19:45 p
Sir Mick Jagger has revealed he has written ''a lot'' of new material for the Rolling Stones and wrote even more when he met up with drummer Charlie Watts.
Sir Mick Jagger has been writing "a lot" for the Rolling Stones.
The 'Brown Sugar' singer revealed he and the band's drummer Charlie Watts recently had a "really good time" performing some of the latest tracks he's penned.
He said: "I have been writing a lot for the Stones. I mean, when I write, I go, 'Yeah, that could be a good Stones tune' or, 'That's not really going to work for that'.
"I did some sessions with Charlie recently where I just played some songs I'd written, and of course I wrote more when he was there.
"I'd start making them up, so that was good fun, so we had a really good time doing that."
The band are set to celebrate their 50th anniversary next year and Mick admitted they are in discussions about some concert dates or even doing a tour.
He explained to The Times newspaper: "Well, we're talking about it but I don't know if it's going to happen.
"Listen, you could do anything you want if you put your mind to it. I don't know what's going to happen next year. We'll see."
However, he revealed the band do not see a lot of guitarist Keith Richards - who infamously claimed Mick had a "tiny todger" in his autobiography 'Life' last year - because he lives in the US.
He added: "Well, I really don't see much of him. The rest of us are all here [in London] quite a lot, and although he comes here occasionally in the summer, I don't think any of us sees him much. He lives in suburban Connecticut."

Very positive sign. He is writing material with the idea of it being a Rolling Stones product. As well, Charlie Watts is involved.
Certainly, Mr. Jagger is not only "open" to the idea of recording with The Rolling Stones, he is entertaining it, and to a point starting to work on it. At least at a certain level being as he is working on potential Stones songs with charlie Watts... and many of them according to this article.
... If all goes well... they will record together. That certainly sounds like the objective.
However, if something doesn't go smoothly, it could halt, or hinder progress... so keep your fingers crossed that things continue to go smoothly. However, who are we kidding ? I think Mick knows what the ultimate goal for next year is... "Rolling Stones".
He knows it will more than likely go down. Otherwise what is the point on working on Rolling Stones songs in a studio with Charlie Watts? .. .. ..
