whatever album they record is not about making money directly but about promoting the tour which is where the money is..having a song on the radio would go a long ways to making them seem relevant.. if they were smart they would do a covers album... there is nothing wrong with it and i think it would work..also it would require so much less work!


they surely will not do it though.. because they are very stupid.



look what the covers album did for johnny cash (american recordings)

i think we have the makings of an excellent title for their next album:

"more new songs cos we are very stupid"

Have you listened to the first three albums? Very defining.

Actually that is not necessarily true. Sometimes it is much easier to invite all by yourself than figure out how on earth that tune supposed to go that sounds like that. Besides Ronnie had said that it is easier for them to start from the scratch than try to continue to work further some already existing track. I think anyone who knows something abbout creative work knows what him or I talk about. I guess for Jagger the bonus tracks for EXILE and SOME GIRLS were creatively harder job than making A BIGGER BANG. At least that is what he sounded like when he talked about especially making of EXILE bonus tracks. He had very much limited possibilities in his hands.

So, I can't think it is so easy at all for The Stones to make a cover album that would have some artistic value a'la Johnny Cash did. One should first pick up 'suitable' covers, and then have a personal take on them. Making good covers is not such an easy job at all to do.

I could use a studio version of Let It Rock.

I'll bet with a little planning and prerehearsal on an agreed group of say 20 or 25 songs, they could bang out an album of 15 songs in 2 weeks. The Stripped Japanese studio sessions consisted of only 3 days in March 1995 and look how many songs they recorded. No one is expecting a masterpiece at this point, just a fun simple party record. After all they are the ones who said......It's Only Rock 'N Roll, so the simpler the better.

math isn't a forte of mine, but would that mean we get the remaining 5 or 10 songs if we wait another week or so?

Better still, record for only a week and just give us the 10-11 best songs straight up, saving everyone time and effort.

It's just like picking up women, to get 4 you have to go after 10. To get an LP of 14 songs or so they would need to work on 20 or 25.

THat would obviously take too much time and is unnecessary in this age of downloads.

On the other hand, their b-sides have a good history of sometimes being stronger than their choice of single, so, skip the single and just record/release the b-side!

Hmm.. I've been quite critical here about the idea of an album of covers but this is what I seemingly wrote just two years ago:

"The Stones is an incredible blues band. Maybe they should - even though I've been critical of the idea - a pure blues album just based on covers. I think that kind of thing would be much interesting than A BIGGER BANG type of album based on dried out ideas. Just gather (all) into studio together for few weeks and start jamming and listen your old blues records. Ask friends to guest and jam with them - Buddy Guy, Clapton, Macca, Taylor, Wyman... and call it ALL THEM BLUES or IT'S ALL BLUES or THE ROLLING STONES PLAYS THE BLUES WITH FRIENDS or something. And ask Jack Frost to produce it!"

Actually, I happened to check my old blues thread (to back up my stuff in the recent Blues Hall of Fame thread), and I found that bit which amused me quite a lot considering what I have just said here...

But honestly, my opinions might vary so much in any given subject probably even weekly-base so it is actually a dare to look what I have written two, or for or six or whatever years ago...so many 'inconsistencies'... always frightening when someone pumps up an old thread from, say, 2004 or 2005 to see what a hec I've been writing then. But look, Tod, there is one positive effect in talking too much and inconsistently: if I really get tired to argue with you or other people here, I might start arguing with my old posts... there is always somthing I would not agree with...

- Doxa

Doxa I too don't always necessarily agree with eveything I ever said!

Thank me everyone. I first proposed this in 2012!!!! And a lot of you shot me down!
