Yes, can't wait!
And hopefully it's sooner than later, but after nearly two very long decades since ABB, a few extra weeks and even months will seem like the blink of an eye.
Lets HOPE it happens!!!

Wow! Am a bit surprised at the reactions here to what I presumed was a somewhat innocuous post on how chat GPT and AI interpret the structure of a Rolling Stones song based on all that is available in the public domain. Honestly, I didn’t imagine that this is what would tick people off in a public forum in a thread that has been replete with incongruous rubbish for so long with garbage being continually spouted every time there is any public sighting of Jagger with just about anybody. Anyway, the topic came up at home when my wife, an academic in the humanities was showing us how well chat GPT / AI works for students and how professors are having to rethink how they give out of class assignments etc. Some of the stuff is pretty impressive with the ability of chat GPT to even produce full length dissertations by interpreting all the works of say a particular scholar of 19th. My daughter and I just though it would be fun to see how chat GPT would structure songs of artists that have a substantial number of songs and data to pull from. Also, we thought it would be fun to see how someone who is not a fan but a complete stranger and has no context for individual songs or say a robot would interpret the lyrics and create one of its own. My daughter picked Taylor Swift and I picked the Stones given that there is quite a bit of data to input with over 200 + songs. I saw the output vis-vis the Stones and felt that it was creating lyrics not just from prior lyrics but also from all other sources about the Stones as a band. I then picked Jagger given that his solo work has at least 50 songs + and Richards as well although the number of songs is far fewer and there is less input data just to see how AI distinguishes and discriminates between the 2. Here the lyrical output seems to lean even more towards their public personas and the lyrics seem to say more about the perceived public images and perhaps even statements that they have made and I imagine the input data even includes all the dialog here on IORR. Naively, I imagined that the conversation would veer in this direction. I also decided to give chat GPT a try given that someone remarked that perhaps Jagger may try to leverage AI and technology in his creative pursuits.
On the subject of AI and creativity, many artists (i.e. those that produce paintings or drawings as a profession or hobby) found out their work was used to train AI and generate visuals that have gone on to receive accolades. They were not happy. I don’t know how much AI is being leveraged in the music industry to identify and create successful chord progressions and drum loops and arrangements and melodies but I presume that old school knowledge gained from experience and some more updated data mining for segmenting and targeting your audience will all give way to the use of AI in song creations somewhere down the line in the next decade or so. Those lyrics are not so great but am not so sure they are so much worse than what many successful bands have put out. These are just early days. Instead of Mel belli telling us about a unique chord progression in Primitive cool or Dream about, we can just run all the songs on an AI / Chat GPT like platform to give an output that will quickly identify the unique ones. This what I think is cool about technology in general and AI in particular. It is in itself creative and will no doubt stretch the boundaries of creativity and likely even disrupt how music is made in the near future. Perhaps my post should have been in a separate thread or off topic
All of this notwithstanding, Seriously – the 105 lines that I posted (I am a rather infrequent poster) is what is “wasting space on IORR”- are you friggin kidding?. And an “intervention” is required for this? and this is what is a “Low point” for this forum – woah!!! OK
Kudos for running a good site but content moderation is a hard business. I certainly won’t take my post down – feel free to take them down and delete my account if you are “pissed”. Feel free to take this post down as well if it “saves space” on IORR for more scintillating conversations on the new Tour. I tried to delete my account some time back (it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought but perhaps I missed something). If you do choose to delete my account or take the post down, no worries. I don’t really post much – just do it occasionally when I have some free time and have some random thoughts. I will still enjoy reading mathijs’ first reviews of the new album if and when it comes out and will enjoy less but certainly casually observe the tons of Jagger bashing that will follow (and you don't have to turn to AI to see that pattern, just trust me - you will need a lot of space on IORR for that) Au Revoir

The wait is almost over! Touring band members are getting more active with a couple of gigs planned, before rehearsals start with the Stones. Mick and Keith are polishing the album in the studio. Excitement is building!

There is a possiblity that Mick Jagger is 80 (!!!) years old when the album is being released. I cannot name another artist or band that has released a brand new album with self written songs at that age.

BV is right, it's a whole heap of spam, as well as tedious and terrible in quality, offensively so, revealing nothing about creativity, and everything about degraded hackery that happens to be machine generated. And a waste of time for people clicking on the thread for the new album....

I'll believe the new album when I hear the new album.

Buddy Guy has also released two albums (with partly self-written songs) since turning 80.
Ringo Starr released 3 EPs in 2021-2022 (partly self-written, since turning 80) - [en.Wikipedia.org] .

...it's not the same thing, one thing is the solo artist who can be managed as he wants, another is a band.
Let's not forget that Mick has had heart surgery and Ronnie has battled cancer twice, Keith has his issues and sadly Charlie passed away.
However, the Stones have played many concerts in recent years, they have not made new music (apart from a few singles) it is true, but they have not been inactive and the fact that today we are talking about a new album and a new tour is a miracle.

Can't wait for the first teaser of the new studio album. Hopefully The Stones will release some sort of teaser by Mid-February
We'll see

Realistically, when would an announcement come? I mean if they plan to tour alongside it starting in the summer, it would have to be relatively soon, right?

I love the Stones for life but there are so many talented young artists who will release new music this year that is so much more thrilling to me than a new Stones album.
Of course I'm looking forward to it but I'm always amazed by how much people here are yearning for it.
Yes, that is where I am at too. The Stones have meant so much to me at one time, and when they were great IMO were the greatest, but I can not say that I really like anything that has come from them in years.Quote

I can take the time and make a list if that is of real interest. Depends also on your music taste.Quote

Yeah, it feels it was just a while ago when we started discussing here the first impressions of "Rough Justice"...
... ...
Honestly, I don't think it is and has been that miserable to be a Rolling Stones fan. The years go by pretty nicely.
