Tell Me :
Talk
So, why are they making recording sessions?
They have already recorded more than 20 new songs...and to what end, i ask?
Adjust your settings. I only show a reasonable 260 pages.
1 - Its their best selling and more popular album, Diamond certified in the US, almost 300 weeks on chart, etc so the general audience go there.
2 - Forty Licks and Grrr are both out of print and not available for streaming
Well, I bought 40 Licks and probably like a lot of people played Disc one but pretty much ignored Disc two.
Hot Rocks was maybe the best thing ABKCO ever did for the group (and the label of course).
Ignored disc 2..???i even ignored disc 1 and 3.

The problem with all the analysis/speculation is it doesnt explain why other Acts in the same league as The Stones have continued to put out new material (even if not as at prolific as their peak)
Macca
Dylan
Rod Stewart
Van Morrison
Bruce Springsteen
U2.
Neil Young, Crosby also.
Even if Mick retains his interests in the Economics of the record industry...with all the dosh he has DOES it really matter to him?
The only thing that matters to Jagger is...
Under the age of 25

Suggest putting your 6 and 9 side by side. It works quite well that way.
Talk about a complete circle, sure why not...
Well, the Stones put out the UMe remasters in 2009, same years as the Beatles. How did those Stones remasters fare? Publicitywise, the Beatles remasters profitted a lot from the fact that there had never been any prior remasters whatsoever.
It would certainly have been a good time for releasing an album (or two ...) with outtakes in the process. I'm just wondering if they could have come up with anything matching the quality of, say, Jethro Tull's Nightcap (released in 1993, I believe).
I guess it must be clear to them also that they will never again reach the kind of sales they had in the 70s or maybe 80s, and that also the days of people duplicating their old vinyl collections on CD are long gone. If (too little) money is the only reason why we don't get any new music, it's almost a pity they have been so successful in the past ... LOL
If No Security really had such bad sales, I wonder if that also may have had to do with the somewhat awkward cover. IMO, NS is the best of all the latter-day live albums. It's the only one you don't already grow tired of while the first listening is still in progress ... (the worst on my list is Live Licks). Who knows how a remaster would have sounded? Maybe we should be glad they never did one. As for the track list, was it really specifically meant to be geared at the fans? I rather felt like, if you release a live album/video from every tour, they shouldn't all contain the same songs, so they put things on it that aren't found for the umpteenth time.
Even if NS was a commercial desaster (if seen from a Rolling-Stones-in-the-vinyl-era persepective), I'd still like to have the money it made ... LOL
Well, Mick and Keith at least should be well beyond the point where anything is necessary from a commercial perspective for quite some time now. I guess they could have even done without the last couple of tours. Ronnie is possibly the one who might need additional income most (Charlie, dunno).
Haha... It would be pretty funny if Mick or Keith would start talking of themselves with such terms as Pete talks about himself... "my pride, my sense of self-worth amd self-dignity as a writer"... Pete's great guy, but he takes himself a bit too seriously sometimes... What was it Keith said about him years ago.. that Pete should talk less and play guitar more... It's only rock&roll, man...
As noted here, The Who's discography is not very impressive in quantity compared to that of the non-seriously-artistic-minded Stones...

One point of view that at least matters to me is the overall impression of The Rolling Stones. In the heydays of Queen as we are right now seeing, with Macca having a number one a few years ago. Springsteen scoring nr 1 albums all the time and U2 scoring the largest tours there is a question of legacy involved here. Being just a nostalgica band isn't enough for me even if they live wants to play the same hits over and over again.
I want them to have one last important bang to the music industry.
It's a lot of dreaming I know
It's funny how well the Stones reflect and represent the history of rock: they were a hot hit single band when that was the norm; they were a masterpiece album band when that was the norm, and they have been a huge concert draw since that has been the norm. The norm = where the hype, cultural relevance, fame & big money is. They could write a textbook how to stay at the very top...
Not a bad achievement for a couple of guys who just loved to play the blues...

I often get the impression that they [Keith in particular] think they're a Jazz band...and the music is brand new every time they play it !
[For me at least they sort of get away with that. I still love the subtle twists that keep the old songs fresh ]
Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 2019-01-14 15:52 by Spud.
Yeah, Keith often talks like that, like each song comes out quite different each time they play it. (I for my part can't detect any differences at a macroscopic level in a song between one show and the next show, unless it's botched intro/solo vs. sorta-OK-intro/solo, or the like). Keith also likes to say they're getting better and better over the years ("like old wine") ... not sure if he really believes so himself.
What goes OK with me is his reference to the old bluesmen, still playing in their old age. Hell, yeah, why not? Although there's possibly a difference between playing a club date as a 80-plus year old blues (or jazz) person and delivering a full-blown stadium rock production for 50.000 people at the age of, say, 85.
Talk about your favorite band.

If the Stones are waiting for a better time to release old outtakes or box sets, sadly that ship has sailed, nowadays nobody buys records anymore except people over 40/45 or die hard fans, a big hit record sell 2 o 3 million copies worldwide these days, 70% of the market is streaming and it will be 80-90% in a couple of years.
The right time to put out outtakes or box sets was 1994-2005/10 or so when record sales were on an all time peak, the Beatles released the Anthology series during the right time and it was a success with over 16 million copies sold, their recent archive releases (Pepper/White Album) were #1 or Top 5 everywere but both failed to even reach 1 million copies sold worldwide.
Queen is peaking on popularity thanks to the movie, but 90% of the success is thanks to streaming of the big hits, the soundtrack has sold only 800k worldwide, but Bohemian Rhapsody has over 15m streams each week only on Youtube.
A Stones new record could sell again 2 million copies as B&L if they release it during the Christmas season, there's no market worldwide to sell more than that.
Any archive stuff would sell 500-800k worldwide at best, there's no market worldwide to sell more than that.
If anything happens to any of the Stones, their back catalog would explode on the streaming market, Gimme Shelter, Paint It Black or Start Me Up would reach the top of the charts worldwide with millions of streams, but not more than 1 or 2 million people worldwide would buy any new or old stuff, again there's no market for more than that.
The more they wait to release new or old stuff, the less they sell due to lack of market/demand for physical material.
Meanwhile the songs on Hot Rocks reach 5-6 million streams each week only in the US, enough to keep the album charting on the Billboard 200 almost each week during the past year, the same in the UK, that's their legacy.
I do not think this interests the Stones a lot, they always made the money playing in concerts, if it were for the earnings of cd-dvd discs the Stones would be poor.[/[/b]quote]

Hopefully we get some kind of Christmas gift this year. Funny though that it was mentioned by several sources we would see singles in early 2019 leading up to the tour.

from days when People wrote for the fun of it
and played for the hell of it
wit Pictures taken when all was smart
and just another piece of art
from sessions gone by,when Friends droppend in
to Play or stay or grin or drink
no one kept a list to say
who played like this
or clapped that way
the toads of parking lots weren`t around to state
pay up or you`ve got no Sound …
who remembers, what lp ?

It won't happen, but how nice it would be if Andrew produced their last album or at least wrote the liner notes. I could read Andrew's writings every day. That's why our hopkins can be such a joy. You can lose yourself in their writings.

A Stones studio album means working with Keith. This time it appears that Keith is taking more of a role. Getting them on the same page with material or production has been tricky since 1979. It's only become more difficult in the 40 years since then. That's something Dylan, Macca, Bruce, etc. do not have to contend with. Additionally, the label and their producer need to be on board. It seems that has also been a challenge from time to time. Amassing tracks for future releases is speculation. It seems likely and certainly fits what info has come out. The only other obvious alternative is they're busy making 3 to 4 different versions of the same album and are arguing over how best to fit it together.

In the same way they don't "need" a new album right now. If it surprisingly appears any time soon, it will be a nice gesture to their fans worldwide and (hopefully) an artistic statement, but a necessity? For us, yes, but not for them.
Well, Mick and Keith at least should be well beyond the point where anything is necessary from a commercial perspective for quite some time now. I guess they could have even done without the last couple of tours. Ronnie is possibly the one who might need additional income most (Charlie, dunno).

A brief addendum:
When B2B came out over here, it was sold off right from the start for less than half the price of a "regular" CD back then, and the whole thing definitely had the scent of trying to get higher sales figures from special pricing. (I myself didn't mind, these were dire days, and a decently priced CD was always welcome...)
I can't quite remember what I paid for ABB, but I think also ABB was sold at a lower-than-average price.

When Pete Townshend’s management team came to him with a lucrative offer from Live Nation to spend much of 2019 on the road with the Who, he said he’d only agree to it under a single condition. “I said I was not going to sign any contracts unless we have new material,” says Townshend. “This has nothing to do with wanting a hit album. It has nothing to do with the fact that the Who need a new album. It’s purely personal. It’s about my pride, my sense of self-worth and self-dignity as a writer.”

I often get the impression that they [Keith in particular] think they're a Jazz band...and the music is brand new every time they play it !
Yeah, Keith often talks like that, like each song comes out quite different each time they play it. (I for my part can't detect any differences at a macroscopic level in a song between one show and the next show, unless it's botched intro/solo vs. sorta-OK-intro/solo, or the like). Keith also likes to say they're getting better and better over the years ("like old wine") ... not sure if he really believes so himself.
What goes OK with me is his reference to the old bluesmen, still playing in their old age. Hell, yeah, why not?
Although there's possibly a difference between playing a club date as a 80-plus year old blues (or jazz) person and delivering a full-blown stadium rock production for 50.000 people at the age of, say, 85.This Thread has been closed
