Yeah, any fan would be happy with a new album. Now "Back to the Roots" I don't know...I don't remember "Back of My Hand" generating much interest either here or among casual fans.

We're going to be hearing that they are/have been working on a "back to their roots" album prior to the 2015 tour.

Now, please consider this to be nothing but a RUMOUR.

We'll know soon enough if it's true.

As of today, the announcement date is still 31st March, 2015. Perhaps we'll know something at that time. Let's hope so..........

CE

That's what I've been dreaming of. Thanks a lot!

It wont happen.

Why would a long time Stones employee pass these news if there wasn't any hold in it?

An ex-employee I believe and still friends with Jane Rose apparently, which should provide her with good info of course, but when's the last time "Cocaine Eyes" provided any useful/"real" info? Other than the silly "people they are going to play a club show in Paris try to get a ticket" before the Trabendo, "people they are going to play a club show in LA, try to get a ticket" before the Echoplex, or "I know where that picture was taken" (when they rehearsed for the "second" Australian tour in 2014)...oh and I think she'd "announced" a club show in Chicago in 2013 too! Having said that I'd love to be wrong about that new "scoop" she's giving us...

Without discussing individuals here, I'll say that you have a point.

I really hope this is true, though, as I have heard this before, albeit earlier on when they were touring a different continent...

I had something crawling in too. I said yesterday about Cocaine Eyes "it means she will be back with info about a warm-up or extra shows or whatever as soon as she can." and wanted first to write "or a new album" and wanted to ask her if those studio things where about SF or something else. I decided not to ask just because I know how people sometimes can react to more or less inside information. Like I said if it's from her regular dealer it's 100% reliable but there's also this thing on the web that uses the same words "back-to-roots":
[en.mediamass.net]
If her info is from that website it's just people joking around with their rumour and in that case they unfortunately tricked CE into it.

PEOPLE! I SAID IT WAS ONLY A RUMOUR.

Geez, rough crowd here.

So for now, I shall retreat into "silence, exile and cunning". Not so much "cunning" as the quote says, but "silence and exile" for sure.

**Remember to be alert on 31st March for the announcement (God willing for good health for all band members).**

Your kind words about me are overwhelming. Words to the wise - unkindness will get you nowhere, especially with the Stones. Real kindness opens many doors.

OK......."silence and exile" for now.

Thanks a lot Cocaine Eyes!
Even if is just a rumour(for now),I love the idea Let's hope for some nice announcements!

Haven't you threatened of doing that before after you announced the club gig in Chicago in 2013...let's see, yes : [www.iorr.org]. Anyway they're not "kind words", they're just facts. I do hope that you didn't fall for the ridiculous story that Dreamer linked to !!!

Have the Rolling Stones been working on a new album? While representatives are keeping tight-lipped, reports have been circulating on the Internet. There have been strong rumors that the rock band is finally returning to the recording studio working on a what might be a back-to-roots album.

UPDATE 23/03/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

According to a source, rumors of the Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor, Ronnie Wood and Darryl Jones, ed) working in recording studio are true, with as many as eight songs having been put to tape. “It’s still in the early stages,” “They got security on the doors to ensure no-one hears a whisper,” a source said. “I think it would be the best tribute ever to Brian Jones.”

Thanks CE. Nothing would be better then a back to basics Stones recording. I'd bet the Glimmers are on good terms and would work well together writing again. Nothing like their colabertive efforts!

Why the need to dispell an absolutely tantalizing tidbit of info...what is the deal with that anyway? Wether its true or not its great to talk about and hope for...this board is built on rumours, innuendos and a sprinkling of facts... we dont need the rumour police telling us who to believe or debunk...we are all capable of our own reaction to whatever info we read here - regardless of fact, rumour or lies.

Because it makes that person better about themself. Typical 'bully' tactic, belittling someone else, publicly to give oneself an inflated image.

I don't like seeing that.

Well she said it was only a rumour gotdablouse. Sometimes her info comes from her source and sometimes she sees something on the web and post it on iorr. Both with good intentions and trying to help people. Even when a few iorrians sometimes acted not so nice to her she continues to give information when available.

Oh and don't create "rumours" yourself: she didn't announce that Chicago thing... bye bye johnny started that thread with these words "From Stones Twitter...could be nothing. Or it could be something:"
CE just reacted to some not so enthusiast comments to johnny's post.
Sometimes it's just frustrating when you give a little bit reliable info to help people and they start to attack you because you don't give the demanded source or other crazy things people say.
Your a fantastic poster yourself gotdablouse and you like to help people and you are very constructive in doing so. Just give CE some credits and...be nice to the old fart
She deserves it.
And so do you.

Edit: Oh and she was the first who picked up something on @Grrregory before the Echoplex gig and started the thread BE ALERT..........NEWS COMING! with the twitter text from @Grrregory.
To continue a few posts later with:

"I also bet it's the warm-up show. Right, they NEVER announce those.......UNTIL the tickets are being sold and people are lined up for blocks.
If I were in LA right now, I'd be listening to local radio stations.
In Toronto, the Stones got scooped by a radio station (for the Phoenix Theatre) and the station blabbed well in advance. At least 12 hours in advance.
BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING........"

And lots of people did not believe her ...so, well you know..

"A Bigger Bang is the 22nd British and 24th American studio album by The Rolling Stones, released on Virgin Records in September 2005. (...) Although initial reports stated that the Stones had "returned to their roots" with the record, the minimal instrumentation, rough mix, tough blues and "garage" rock hybrid bear certain similarities to the style of contemporary artists like The White Stripes and The Black Keys" [en.wikipedia.org]

Keith Richards tells how he and the Rolling Stones survived and got back to their roots for their new album, A Bigger Bang.

A "return to their roots" like ABB? No, thanks!

Actually, I would quite like that...if they could edit it down to 10 songs this time it would be brilliant. If not, I can still edit it myself.

It would make a great deal of sense for this to turn out to be true. A rootsy blues album from the Stones would be both well-received, easy to create (not all that rough on the old arthritic hands and swollen knuckles!), and it would be an excuse to go on and tour without fans demanding MT return to the stage, if there is indeed some reason for them not wanting to tour with him from now on. Having MT on the last tour was wonderful, but they did sort of set themselves up for fans' not wanting to see them without MT thereafter. I'm sure MT would be along in a heartbeat if it were offered to him, but who knows, they might have their reasons for not wanting MT there for every future outing.

Let's hope for some interesting news next week. I welcome the speculation!

Every Rolling Stones record released over the last 35 years has claimed they will be "getting back to their roots" that said I'm very excited if the news of a new Stones record is true.

I would love to hear anything they put out! They're still more interesting than 99% of the other bands out there. Mick Taylor is optional at this point. As long as it's Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie on board, that's all I care about. ABB, B2B, SW and VL were all great and to hear what Mick and Keith can come up with now would be unbelievable!
They can keep recording into their 80's or 90's as far as I'm concerned and I'd still buy it. No one ever told B.B. King to stop 'cause he was "too old" did they? Can't wait to hear what they have for us this time!

At this point any rumours of a new album is good news right?
Was getting worried the Stones may be over as a recording act...

for the sake of argument,

I'd argue there are several other bands out there who are more interesting than the Stones without Mick Taylor.

With Taylor they are more interesting than a lot of them..

Cocaine Eyes, please don't stop posting.
Your info is much, much appreciated, whether rumour or more than that, by many of us, believe me.

With all the extreme speculation floating around, people with real sources like you and Bjornulf are
so valued. I think it's just the frustration waiting for the announcement that has a few people displaying
their more prickly sides. JMO.

That album, back to the roots is what a lot of people here have asked for since I've been around,
the blues album, or bluesy, anyway.

Again, thanks again.

But the thing is.. if they gather together about once in a decade to do something in the studio it is always for them "return to their roots"...

I think a back to the roots-blues album would be pretty awful (imagine: 12 tracks like "Back of my hand" on one album!. Since Down in the hole on ER the blues-tracks have been lowpoints on the albums. But if back to the roots just means a new album like ABB I sure will look forward to it.

With today's technology they can record a 10-12 song album in less than a month including mixing and final release on digital sites, sadly it seems that they don't care at all, since 2005 the whole band has spent 3 days on the studio for the Grrr album, that's it.

in the sixties they were able to record and release an album within a few weeks. Most records were recorded in just one or two days. I guess it was the Beatles who were the first to stay (and work) in the studio much longer

Dylan's albums are generally done and dusted in a matter of weeks. The actual release date may of course not happen at that point. This would have been unheard of in the 60s.

I saw/heard them perform 'Back of my Hand' at the Hollywood Bowl in 2005 and it was great. It sounded so authentic for that grizzled group. There's all kinds of blues styles they've done, from Jimmy Reed to John Lee Hooker.

I thought Keith has been quoted in the past as saying he would never do an album of old blues standards,
In which case, it COULD happen!
