Particularly that Mick jagger is the master at giving interviews. He will always talk about a future stones album, demos in the can, etc., it's part of the drill, keeps the image of a current band alive. Sells tickets. Gets the predictable reaction in places like here. The guy not only knows what he is doing, he wrote and continues to write the book.Quote

Nothing in that interview that we didn't already know/suspect/guess at already.

"Hours after the tour was announced, Jagger called up Rolling Stone to discuss plans for the show, the new Sticky Fingers box set and the possibility of a new Stones album."
He called them up???? There's something going awfully wrong in this world…
That's SOP. The "talent" sits in a hotel suite or at home or wherever they're doing business, and gets a list of reporters' names and numbers and scheduled interview times. And then they proceed down the list and try not to blow throw the allotted 15 or 20 minutes. Doubtful that Mick is ever more chatty than he needs to be.

Why does Mick have to "hope so" about recording a new Stones album?

I wonder if we will ever see the likes of those indepth and insightful interviews.
The 1971 Greenfield interview with Keith was superb, even Mick opened up (for him) some decades later to RS.
Now it just seems to be 10 to 15 minutes on the phone and thats your lot.

Keith said also "I hope so" recently in the iHeartRadio interview about recording a new Stones album ....

If you really think that's all there is to it then your delusional.
If you stack shelves at the supermarket then you retire if your an artist you don't retire.

Yes, but without Mick's willingness to commit to an actual recording project, all Keith can do is hope.
It was Mick who was the deciding factor for that week of studio time for the 2 songs they included on GRRR, and it is Mick who is keeping them from recording a further full album.
Charlie certainly doesn't care, but will do his part if called upon. Woodie would certainly be keen. Keith has stated repeatedly for years how much he wants for there to be a new Stones album. Mick has publicly expressed his reticence about a new Stones record for the reasons stated in a 2013 article: [blog.sfgate.com]
Mick blames the fans, you see. Nevermind Mick's 25% vote--he's allocated his percentage vote to the fans, and he's fully committed to keep not giving them what he claims they clearly don't want.
If you do the math, all that's needed is Mick's 25% vote to make it happen; otherwise, the prospect of a new album, if you'll pardon the pun, is always back to zero.

For me, one of the best things that the Stones could do this late in their career is actually take a risk and play Sticky Fingers from beginning to end. It may actually add luster to their image and even garner great reviews (provided that they are able to play decent versions of tunes off of that album without Mick Taylor on board). Seriously, other artists (Springsteen, the Who) have played full albums in their sets. This is not such a novel idea. It saddens me dearly that Mick Jagger has become so formula that he feels he may "offend" and/or concert-goers to sleep because they perform an extra ballad or two off of one of their signature, classic albums-just ridiculous!

>What a waste they do most of these songs anyway...
They did "Moonlight Mile" a few times in '99, and "Sister Morphine" on the Bridges tours of '97/'98, and neither since. So no, they don't do most of those songs anyway...

Regarding showcasing Sticky Fingers in concert, what I suspect will happen (I would love to be proven wrong-and what history has demonstrated previously via the Licks Tour), the Stones will most likely opt out for a mini-set featuring the tried and true that they played a million times in their sleep from SF -Brown Sugar, Bitch, Dead Flowers, Wild Horses...

Did you read the interview?
Are you going to play more Sticky Fingers songs than usual because the album is being re-released?
Maybe, yeah, or at least playing the ones we don't normally play. [...] I'm just working on that now, but I'm sure we'll feature some of the more unusual ones. I think that'll be good.
I would love to hear "Moonlight Mile" or "Sister Morphine."
Yeah, exactly, and we haven't played those for a bit. I think that's a good idea, and we definitely will feature those.
Now that this is considered a new tour and is starting fresh with the Sticky Fingers theme and Australia considered the last leg of the anniversary tour, more shows will likely be added. There is just too much demand and too many unserved markets. New York, Chicago, Toronto, LA will get their turn!Quote

And MANY of you laughed at my thread about a "new album". And *some* scoffed at my info about 'not counting out Toronto yet'! (Massey Hall).
As Jagger said at the R&R Hall of Fame - "For those of you who took the piss, the joke's on you".
CE
Do you envision an end date for this tour?
Well, after the U.S. tour, there's nothing booked. But there are plans for what we'll do in the autumn for gigs, maybe. I don't know about the early autumn, but in the late autumn there's a lot of talk. I haven't booked it yet, but… (Taken from the Rolling Stone magazine link above)
PS. WHY doe s he say "but" or "maybe" so much? For the same reason I always say "God willing; good health".
