The simple fact that Mick Jagger didn't waste any of his lyrical wizardry on unfinished songs for the Sticky Fingers re-release makes me feel fairly confident that new work will be recorded soon. Keith's new album is already old, and he seems musically inspired for the first time in awhile. I saw the Columbus and Indy shows, and the way they progressed between the two, switching up rhythms and improvising, sounded like a band ready to drop some new classics. It's gonna happen.

I think it may be time to start thinking about smoking with the filter on.

I have to say, it would be a little odd to hear 1970s-Jagger singing 'Brown Sugar' then 2015-Jagger burst in on the chorus, louder than the outtake we all know...

And what do you mean by 'Keith's new album is already old...'? Do you mean the first single...?

Would a covers album be acceptable?

no...they need to bring it...and they know it.

And they will bring it!

if they do, will they pass the beatles up?

I mean he's had it completed or at least mostly recorded for a long time now.

No, sadly Keith and Jagger do their best work on their own these days. And Jagger's 'lyrical wizardry' disappeared about 40 plus years ago. Keith's new solo effort will be more satisfying than A Bigger Bang and the sequel to A Bigger Bang if there is one - guaranteed. On the other hand, I'd welcome a new Jagger/Bowie collaboration.

Not probable at all. Keith saying we are thinking about or planning an album, is standard rock star talk in response to questions he has heard a million times. Classic bones to throw at the feet of journalists to keep the stories coming, and perhaps deflect the talk away from the real answer,boring as it may be, which is, I am a 72 year old man , home from the tour, tired, and I have no plans. I personally would love them to do a blues album.

Only until The Sons Of Beatles debut album.

A lot of probability.
The time is right and what else can Mick do.
Make solo albums no one wants to buy, or retire.
He will never retire, so i think they have toured long enough without an album to promote..

Yes, now is the time! They will record a new album and it will be a great one. Not their greatest, but still a great one. It will not be the blues album, some people are longing for. This would not sell and the Stones of course want a new record to sell very well. So it will be the usual mixture of fast rockers, slow rockers, ballads and a reggae or funk tune in between. Nothing new, but it will have a lot of punch und we will be blown away.

Unlike a lot of folks I enjoyed A Bigger Bang. I felt there were some good songs there. The boys can do it. It's just a matter of Mick and Keith sitting down and putting the pen to paper really.

I'd be satisfied with some great songs like "Doom and Gloom" but I don't need a new forced weak album like "A Bigger Bang".
Just good songs without the whole new album concept.
Anyway "album projects" are pretty old fashioned nowdays IMO.
Though a newly recorded collection of old outtakes a' la "Tattoo You" with some brand new songs would be awsome!

The probability that this question is asked every couple of days on this forum is much higher.

Of course there will be a new album within a year. What else could they do at this stage of their career? Sitting at home waiting for the reaper? Not the Stones.

I thought A Bigger Bang was neither forced nor weak.

'Doom and Gloom' was both.

.....

Olly.

I was just thinking, Keith usually stirs Mick into Stones activity when he starts his solo work. 88' 93'
Maybe this publicity is just the right ingrediant to seduce Mick back into the studio.
This solo Keith project could be a winner all round.

Hey even Ronnie could pull out a quick album CD and solo dates.
Come on guys ><

I like it too, IrisC. Mick really enjoyed doing Doom and Gloom on tour, which makes me think he still wants to be able to perform new songs. We know they plan to continue touring, so more new songs makes sense. I'm not sure about a full album, they may just drop a few songs here and there instead.

Honestly, the word neither requires or desires a new Stones album. A few people on here want it but apart from that......

The world doesn't know what it wants, but the Glimmers will lead the way musically....

Also the Stones don't owe us anything.
If they just retire and live out the rest of their lives in the sun on a beach somewhere, thats fine by me.
I cant believe they still motivate themselves to go out in front of 50 thousand people in their 70's.
Jesus some people that age cant hold their bladder that long
They are incredible.
While the Stones still do it, and Rock, WE ARE NOT OLD

You honestly think Mick Jagger hasn't written good lyrics since 1975?

I have to politely disagree. "Saint Of Me" and "I Go Wild" are two examples off the top of my head of what I would consider superior lyric writing and as good as anything he's ever done.

If Mick and Keith could sit down together for just a couple of weeks I think it's safe to say we can get a few new tracks to listen too and then we can formulate our opinions as to wheatear or not they are any good.
