Enough. Please!

This is supposed to be a thread about New Rolling Stones studio album due out in 2016.

Not about the boy band "One Direction". (Pedantically abbreviated to 1D, not OD).

Please, let's get back to rumours and hopefully news about a New Rolling Stones studio album due out in 2016.

Thanks.

The collaboration with the boy band's maestro is a rumour about the new album. However, since you've clearly been made the new moderator, we will all respect your 50+ years of authority and avoid any further discussion. I hear when they returned to Chess Records to cut the blues album they found Robert Cray painting the Goddamn ceiling. He's not selling many CDs these days...

No way this is not on! If it is true the new album will make Dirty Work sound like a masterpiece!

first off -this "blues record " is a figment of your imaginations.there was never any "blues cover record" or blues flavored album and there never will be so forget it.
the band do blues covers when they're working all the time.there are bootlegs of songs from almost every record that are straight blues,maybe one makes it to the record.

here's a qoute from the "ask keith" section of his website.

FAN:keith would you ever do a cover record of old blues songs?

KEITH: NO,because i love the blues but it's only a small part of what i do.

this producer or whatever is probably only working on one song,the commercial single.the days of the stones putting out another great blues based album are over.they don't have the chops at playing or writing,we've had 35 years to figure that out,it should've sunk in by now.

These blues songs were not recorded as warm up songs. Not that they will keep all of them but these are songs recorded for an album. And most of them are blues covers. 11 if I remember correctly.

Nothing would please me more, if that were true. However, it would be oddly timed for Mick to be working on a solo album now, wouldn't it?

One guess: Mick presents his demos to the rest of the band. Some songs are approved. Those are immediately recorded by the Stones. Other songs are not approved. Mick finishes those songs, too, at almost the same time during this energy boost.

Mick wants a hit?
Mick is wrong. The Stones will never ever have a "hit single" again, no matter who produces it. The Stones are in their seventies, 12-year old kids choose what tops the charts nowadays. This has nothing to do with the producer. When we were young, did we help Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby to top the charts? No we didnt give a shyte about their new releases. And most of the youngsters today also do not care about musicians who could be their grand-grand-parents.

The new album will go No 1 for sure, but the single will reach No 78 (with a little luck).

Who cares about the single-charts, it´s absolutely meaningless and certainly no playground for dinosaurs.

What about Frank Sinatra and "Strangers in the Night" then? Whoever contributed to its charts topping status. One never knows for sure these things about pop.

Sinatra actually was 50, when he had "Strangers in the Night".

Times were different then, music was different back then, record-buyers and their age were different and Sinatra was hardly 50 of age.

Sinatra pushed hard to have a "hit-single" in 1984 and hired Quincy Jones to produce it who just had produced all the Michael-Jackson-hits. But Sinatra was close to 70 and the youngsters didnt care about his single "L.A. Is My Lady" which flopped. Today the situation for the Stones is quite similar, imo.

Yes, you can never know for sure, but when did an artist of mature age top the single-charts in the last couple of years.

The chances for a hit is less than zero, the radio won't play anything by an artist over 40 and the Stones music is so out of touch on today's era of R&B and alternative music.

Their last Hot 100 hit was Saint Of Me which peaked at #94 on March 1998, over 18 YEARS AGO!!!

That question was actually: "Would you ever make a SOLO blues album?"

Here's the vid (...and indeed, it's in the "Ask Keith" section of www.keithrichards.com as well...) :

18 years ago radio was different. Lots of artist get AirPlay at over 40 years of age. You are listening to the wrong stations. We are in the age of Internet and Satellite radio. These formats are part of the Billboard charts now.

Rod Stewart. And topping the charts and having a hit are not always the same thing.

Plus there are dozens of charts these days. Times are different. And it's a little nuts to try to limit what this band can do because of their age. How many acts in their 70's can still sell out stadium tours around the world year after year?

Another theory (albeit frightening) is that Mick is writing songs with Falk, where Falk will get producer credits only.

It's a dirty business
