Mr. Sidon was strumming a guitar when he met Mr. Stewart in 2011 in Los Angeles at the School of Rock, where their sons were performing. A casual chat sparked the idea for a technology development company named Famos that would connect artists and fans in a more meaningful, mutually benefiting way. Mr. Stewart, no stranger to fame, fans and music, liked the idea so much that he brought in Mr. Jagger (Mr. Stewart and Mr. Jagger had been recording music together for months in a band called Super Heavy). “He brought in Mick, and we unofficially joined forces,” Mr. Sidon said (...)
(...)People took notice. Interested investors included television networks, musicians and celebrities, claimed Mr. Sidon. It was going to be huge in every way. The plan was to launch—no, to carpet bomb, as he puts it—the world. They ran a beta test with Ms. Spears and were happy with the results. It was ready to go live. The idea was to time it with the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary tour. They would make a huge splash. Famos signed a contract with the Rolling Stones, but the Stones pushed back tour dates. Time started to slip away. “It was difficult to sit around for 18 months,” Mr. Sidon lamented. “You can’t do that with a start-up. It killed us. But it’s not their fault, and it’s not our fault. The reality is big boys play with big boys, and Famos was not yet a big boy.”

Great album, still listen to it. I remember that this thread never was sticky btw. Interesting to see in retrospect how much shit was poured on Mick for his music
and at the same time how much personal insults I received for... what? I really don't know

Superheavy is bigger than the both of us, or something

I saw Super Heavy in my local library and finally listened to it. It was okay, but then I got to the 'Warring People' track, and heard something outstanding. Mick's lyrics and passion, along with Joss Stone, Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman's production, really exploded on this cut. It made me with the Stones themselves were still capable of something this adventurous.

"Warring People" borrows a bit musically from "Kow Tow" on PRIMITIVE COOL. Specifically the "And now I look around in rage there's nothing left there's nothing saved / Some memories, a photograph - the future looms so damn the past."
For me, there's about 7 or 8 songs I would really enjoy if I didn't have to hear Damian Marley on them. I don't mind Joss Stone, although it often seems like she's acting as Mick's interpreter.

Thanks for bringing this topic alive again! I forgort about Superheavy and just listened to it for the first time in years. I remember all the controversy and I can see why so many Stones fans didn't like it but I think there are some good songs and some interesting songs and a few duds but not bad.

I think SuperHeavy was - and is - a very good record and I still listen to it. It doesn't succeed in every track, but I like the spirit on it. Much more exciting than Crosseyed Heart.
