Foo Fighters packed home, U2 cancelled their Nov. 14/15 shows, Prince has cancelled his (early 2016?) solo piano tour.

Honestly it's a 50/50 thing : the artists don't want to perform and audiences are not really into going to gigs (yet).
It'll take a few weeks before everything goes back to normal here. It's part of the collective mourning process...

Still waiting on some info from Jagger...

"It would be nice to have a new album, but people don't like the new album when you play it on stage. They glumly look at you. 'OK, it will be over in a minute.' It's not a good excuse, but it's the truth and has to be said."
Mick Jagger, 2013

People don't like new songs and they glumly at you when these song are like 'Sweet Neo Con', 'Look what the cat...', 'Driving too fast', 'Suck on the Jugular', 'Keys to your love', 'Stealing my Heart', 'Let me down slow'...and all your solo stuff. This is the truth and has to be said.

A good rhetorical point. But the poster that addressed Mick Jagger as you (referring to his solo stuff, even all his solo stuff, as "your solo stuff" ), is not anybody's spokesman. If he claims to be, he thereby qualifies as an imposter.

One of four..

Mick said that, yes, and he's right. But they haven't had a great single - ANYTHING - that's grabbed the attention of the public since Start Me Up.

UOTN got notoriety for being banned due to the video, not the song. Sure, the single got up to #9 on Billboard (Harlem Shuffle and Mixed Emotions got to #5 each, their last Top 10 singles) but nothing has grabbed the ear of the listening public since Start Me Up.

Perhaps if Mick was more concerned about coming up with great stuff - even tunes they think they should wipe as they did with SMU - rather then worrying about people thinking they're like The Beach Boys and still doing new albums back in the 1990s... he wouldn't say such a thing.

U2 have been playing SIX songs from SONGS OF INNOCENCE plus the single Invisible, which was from the SOI sessions anyway.

You either continue or, as Ian Astbury says about bands that don't record new music, “So many other acts are impotent … they’ve all fallen away into the Range Rover trailer park in Bel Air.”

I can't speak for the U2 fans but how do they react to the new songs? Is it underwhelming?

I thought that was what Mick was talking about

Did Saint Of Me grab the general listening public's ear like Start Me Up?


No.


So, yeah, that is what Mick was talking about!


What I don't get is if those albums were an excuse to tour, as some people think, why didn't they use great songs on the albums that would be a big hit? Why didn't they work on the songs more? Love Is Strong is remembered more for the video and for sounding like Wicked As It Seems.

It goes back to the set list: the newest tune is Start Me Up.

They didn't «glumly look at them» from 4:03 and on...

'Spokesman Imposter' or 'Anybody's Spokesman'...could be a good album title.

Ronnie in Toronto Sun

The Rolling Stones really aren’t gathering any moss.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood says when the veteran British rockers go back into the studio next month – before embarking on a February-March tour of Latin America – they’ll do it with current music in mind. “(Singer) Mick (Jagger) always keeps a keen eye out of what’s going on,” said Wood, 68, in a Canadian exclusive chat with Postmedia Network.

“He’s always listening to new bands and keeping up with the modern way of thinking; injecting a little bit of that into our music. We’re going to go in before Christmas. We’re all looking forward to that. And then if that goes well we’ll carry on after South America.”

...How many stories!Music Bands makes new tunes, new records every three, four, five years or so...Simply it is their life, their passion, their attitude, their work...How many stupid excuses, how many hilarious alibi..."They would re-recording old studio albums or they would working on old outtakes of thirty o forty years ago..."After eleven years they don't be able to make a dozen of decent songs!?!Stranglers,AC/DC,U2,Deep Purple and so on do it...there is who makes big hits and who don't see their albums in the first 100 billboard position chart, so...What's the matter?!?Let come into a studio, record twelve strong songs and open the cage, man!

A BIGGER BANG came out in 2005. That hasn't been every three, four or five years or so. It's now into year 11.

And who you listed that are making albums? THEY WANT TO. They probably aren't too concerned with charting anymore either, unlike someone in the Stones.

Although AC/DC has sort of been cranking them out every, uh, five years or... more.

1990 The Razor's Edge
1995 Ballbreaker
2000 Stiff Upper Lip
2008 Black Ice
2014 Rock Or Bust

The Rolling Stones
1989 Steel Wheels
1994 Voodoo Lounge
1997 Bridges To Babylon
2005 A Bigger Bang

AC/DC has (although not technically) done 3 LPs in the Twenty Hundreds. The Stones have done one.

That's not passion. Nor is it their life. Nor is it an attitude... other than an attitude of NOT recording new albums. It's only been their last 5 LPs that they haven't used old recordings (or songs started for previous sessions and recorded new yet again) from previous sessions like they did up to UNDERCOVER. Think about that for a minute. 5 LPs ago was DIRTY WORK. In 1986.

That's a span of 1968-1983 that they've done that, used leftovers. There's been some suggestion recently that some VOODOO songs may've been held over and recorded again for BRIDGES but so far that is all it remains.
