Tell Me :
Talk
Well, it's quite common amongst guitar players that they think about the guitar as the main thing in their band's sound and about vocals as nothing more than a nice embellishment...
...only to realize in envy that the paying audience stares at the lead singer most of the time!
Things like this broke up many bands, I can tell you!
As always a matter of taste, but for me, Losing My Touch is a Keef Classic!!!
Perfect summary, Treacle. Just perfect.
Now see, I'd look forward to that reggae track. A soul one, a blues one, a gospel one, a great short rocker like RJ, at least one husky-voiced Keef song, and a ballad so good it's almost as good as Almost Hear You Sigh, the only modern day song that holds up to the likes of Ruby Tuesday and Moonlight Mile!!
Since for all purposes, this is most likely the end, I say let Ronnie and Steve each have writing credits if needed in order to get one HELL of a final swan song. Something that maybe the critics loathe right now, but we all love and then 20-30 years later, the critics all realize what a superbly amazing album it is!!!
How great would it be if Giles Martin mixed the album?!?!?!? Since they're headed to LA to wrap the album, I fear that Was is still onboard and will once again produce, as he lives nearby.
Of course, but you're also a fan of "Thru And Thru" that is another major borefest for me - I honestly ask myself how many (if any!) people would listen to that kind of stuff if isn't Keith performing?
As I type this response, I have just put on Thru & Thru. For starters, it isn't Keef performing........it's The Rolling Stones!!! That opening guitar work...really the whole beginning of the guitar and just Keef's vocals with some smattering of cymbals here and there thrown in....It's great. The slow build-up....it's like foreplay. There's an anticipation that one doesn't quite know where we're going, or what's coming. And BOOM, BOOM. Charlie comes pounding in with those echoing drums. My GOD!!!! And still we continue the build-up. How long can we continue? And just when it can't possibly get any better..........Keef figuratively kicks over the mic stand and unleashes that guitar at us. Driving, trading licks/beats with Charlie. It's a rhythmic back and forth building toward climax!!!!
Holy sh. It might very well be THE best song on the album!!! Hard to say really, as I really love Baby Break It Down and usually have that in my Top 50 Stones songs, but then so is Thru & Thru and Love Is Strong.
It's definitely the best closer of the modern era. For me anyway.

Wow...he let's you get THAT CLOSE?!

Ok, ok, for you it's a masterpiece, I just hear no melody to speak of nor any interesting riff and someone repeatedly mumbling "waiting on a call from you.waiting on a caal from you.waiting on a caa-haal from you" while the bands gets louder and louder during the proceedings to create "tension". Sorry, for me it is what it is. But of course, tastes are different. Some even like "Infamy", and it's not the end of the world!
Yup, booze and weed are out; Advil is in.
Coming Down Again
A classic latter day masterpiece from Keith and the Stones...hauntingly beautiful.
I was fortunate to see it performed several times during the Licks tour...would be nice if he would play it again some day!

You know that people like you are rarer than the Blue Mauritius, aren't you? You simply deserve unlimited access to Keith's dressing room next tour. I'll give Jane Rose a call!
You make a moot point.
Your answer is in your question.
Ha! If only!!! It’s a good tune and worked well live I thought.
spot on, Doxa.
plexi
I was thinking the same. Don’t think it’s Bernard since the person seems to be seated.
Spot on as usual from Doxa, indeed.
I justed wanted to start bitching about the (possible!) use of autotune on Mick's lead vocals on the new album, but now I hold back.
Talk about your favorite band.

I don't care if Ronnie sings all the tunes, with Matt on harmony vocals, as long as we'll get the new album!
For more than a quarter of a century, I've really liked Bard a great deal and always respected his opinions. Then I read the post above.
Haha I was also thinking that does he really see the vocals such a minor thing in Rolling Stones sound that some half-arse singer like Ronnie Wood could do them? The Stones without Jagger's voice would be like them without Keith on guitar or Charlie Watts on drums... Hmm...wait a minute..

One of the reasons the Blue and Lonesome covers album suffered was because there were no vocals from Keith - not even backup vocals.
If the songs aren't poor like Infamy, Losing my Touch or This Place is Empty.

oh wow i didn't even consider the possibility of keith not getting his two songs
that would be a real bummer for me if the new album lacks at least two keith numbers
Yes it would be a bummer for most Stones fans.
Hoping for at least one...
It's a nice to have not a have to have; depends on the song. Example, You Got The Silver or BTMMR definitely yes. Infamy, no thank you.
Perfect summary, Treacle. Just perfect.

4. That no matter its quality we all just be happy that we have a new Stones album to listen to without bitching about this or that track!
...
Yeah, let's do the bitching now, that'll save us time later on! I'll start with: They could have left off that lame reggae track ...
Now see, I'd look forward to that reggae track. A soul one, a blues one, a gospel one, a great short rocker like RJ, at least one husky-voiced Keef song, and a ballad so good it's almost as good as Almost Hear You Sigh, the only modern day song that holds up to the likes of Ruby Tuesday and Moonlight Mile!!

Charlie keeps rolling on Stones’ new album
Simon Boyle
27 Oct 2022
Getty
LATE ROLLING STONES drummer Charlie Watts will feature on some tracks for the band’s latest album.
I revealed earlier this month that the rockers were preparing to release a new record.
And now guitarist Ronnie Wood has said Charlie will be included.
The album will be the first the group, which also includes Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, have put out without Charlie, who died in 2021.
Ronnie said in an exclusive chat: “We are recording the new album now and we are going to LA in a few weeks to carry it on and finish it off.
Charlie is on some of the tracks and drummer Steve Jordan.” Ronnie also confirmed the group would be hitting the road again next year.
The Stones will announce new dates for the US in due course, with British fans having to jet out to the States if they want another chance to see them in the next year or so.
I was lucky enough to watch them on the first night of the European leg of their Sixty tour and it was one of the best gigs of my life.
Their latest record, which will be out next summer, will be the first studio album of original material released for almost two decades.
And a music insider told me: “They’ve had a knock in recent years, but the show goes on – and the Stones always do.”

Have they ever recorded in Electric Studios before? This one is certainly a worldly album!!!! Would have loved for them to have had a mobile unit with them to record whilst on tour, as the inspiration caught them!!!!
