Nice to have it confirmed that they are getting along well...supports what we've seen of late on the stage.
Here in New York the majority of79 year olds are not in nursing homes.Mist are still working and are certainly ambulatory.Like BidenQuote

This is the SIXTY year. Next year will be the new studio album year. They can not both tour and work for months in the studio. If they compact the SIXTY tour, so that they do not have to add one month of rehearsals every time they do 14 shows, then may be there will be a time slot of 1-2 months next year, where they will get studio time available.
Keep in mind what the Times reporter is saying:
... "these men are of nursing home age — Jagger and Richards will be 79 this year, and Wood hits 75 in June ...
They simply need time to relax, rest, and also time for family, wives, children, grandchildren. it is not that complicated. You do not work 24/7/365 at their age.
my mom was a geriatric nurse for decades
and 79 is not an uncommon age for a resident at a nursing home
then again the lady down the road lived by herself for 30 years after her husband died
did her own gardening, shopping and cooked her own meals
and she kept doing this until a couple weeks before her death at 102
which happened after her daughter (who was in her 80's) convinced her to mother to move into her nursing home with her
and after she was removed from her home and her routine was broken she started going down hill really fast and died a short time after moving
of these two examples i think the stones may resemble the latter more then the former
or at least mick does

Taylor1What do you base that on? Interestingly, it’s always Keith and never Mick who talks about the imminent release of a new album.Given that they have put out one album of new material , A Bigger Bang , in a quarter of a century they havenot been anything but a live oldies band for nearly a quarter of a century .That’s fine with me. Their catalogue is the best. I’d rather they not tarnish their legacy with subpar albums like a Bigger BangQuote
keefriffhards
It will happen next year i believe, and the new album is going to blow your minds, it's going to be their masterpiece, their swan song, so it's got to be right and that takes patience

Great read but I chuckle at the wait til next year. Time to close the 2022 thread and start a 2023 thread.
I wonder when they 'say it' year in and year out, whether they actually believe it themselves, or are thinking they're just "throwing us a frickin' bone"?
I just think it would be interesting to know whether they ACTUALLY believe it or are just having the piss with us.

I think A Bigger Bang is their worst album.Dull , uninspired music.The songs are crap.There is no magic.But I think Bridges is a great album.I like it better than EmotionalRescue, Dirty Work and Undercover.But that was 25 years ago.I don’t think Mick has had the incentive to write with Keith for decades.The albums are just solo music thrown together on albums. Mick is not interested in rehashed music.Quote

There will never be another 'great' Stones album of original material. There hasn't been 'great' new material since Bill retired. Blue and Lonesome was really good, because they weren't expected to sound like the Stones. The bass wasn't all that important. But it is very important when you want to sound like the Stones. Maybe there could be a few interesting cuts. A Bigger Band had two or three, but only Rough Justice was exciting.
Do you expect them to have gotten better in the studio since 2005, seventeen years ago? Charlie and Darryl never did gel. Poor Keith could barely play on Blue and Lonesome. I think Mick sounds better with other artists now. I miss Charlie too. Just as I miss Bill. It was a great run. Listen to El Mocambo for the greatness of old.

yes it does!
The first 36years they had like,what,24 albums of new material, and the last 24years one new albumQuote

Sort of weird when you consider that at 60 years measuring 100% of their career, the last time there was an album of strictly new material was at about 71.5% of their career.
That was over 28% ago!

Disappointing when you break it down like that, and then consider the current setlists where 90% of the tunes are over four decades old.

Not disappointed! This is a band which formed in 1962, and are still performing in 2022. They have amassed the greatest catalog in Rock'n'Roll. Along the way they have had legal issues, personal issues and serious health issues, and musical differences, They lost their drummer, founding member BJ, long time sax player Bobby Keyes, Stu, and immediate family members. They are nearing 80. While some find it ok to whine with a sense of entitlement, real fans are happy to give them the respect they deserve.

Well I'm not disappointed for sure. They held it together performing at an exceptionally high level, as A-listers now heading into their 80s.
A lot of big artists made it into their 80s, but not as top draws.
I was only pointing out that in the last 30& of their career there has been virtually no new original music as a band.
You can argue that they've done a lot of side projects in the interim, which is true...I guess that's how they've had at least some creative outlet.

For there to be another view present: To me the absolute slump in their career consists of the studio albums DIRTY WORK, STEEL WHEELS and VOODOO LOUNGE. On the other hand, I consider BRIDGES TO BABYLON as both semi-great and quite adventurous, not dated. A BIGGER BANG I also hold as semi-great, but a little too "safe" at times. However, talking about great albums really, their latest and probably last to me is UNDERCOVER, concluding that remarkable sequence of great studio albums SOME GIRLS, EMOTIONAL RESCUE and UNDERCOVER.
Added: I don't abstain from listening to any Stones or Stones-related albums, with one exception, METAMORPHOSIS.
