Ronnie interview with NME

So it sounds like they had some kind of rehearsals of the new songs the week after the Hackney Empire press conference? (Or at least they had planned to do that)

Where are you hearing that in the interview?
Steve and Matt were reported to be in Hackney but they would be there as Mick and Keith's "right hand man".

Around the 6 minute mark Ronnie says: "the next thing we gonna do is next week see how they (the new songs) translate live“
And the interviewer refers to the press conference with "yesterday Jimmy Fallon…", so the interview was obviously taped back in September

Thanks, hadn't picked that up, wonder who they got to play bass...or was it Matt filling in with a keyboard?

On another matter, how do we know DS and TMS don't have "posh" bridges too, the extracts are pretty short after all.

Keith tells Paul Sexton that he wanted to write a song around the unusual chord found in “Tell Me Straight.” It’s a B minor with a sharp five.

He’s been intrigued by that chord for many years. You can hear him work with it on “Part of the Night” from the Fully Finished Outtakes set.

Part of the Night is a strong tune. Evolved from Golden Caddy, right?

I think that’s right, yes!

So in true Stones fashion a song demo idea started at Pathe Marconi in the late 70s comes to full fruition though at the same time quite changed in 2023. How great is that!

These are first impressions.

Ha, Drew, I received the same email. Is this patently absurd and false or should I start eating better so I can live to 2036?

Huh. That's exactly what I was thinking. Live by the Sword sounds like ER album when I heard it on the UK radio special.

Parts 1 & 2 of the interview with Anthony Mason of CBS

Thank you for posting these. I watched part 1 on Sunday but missed part 2 yesterday due to having to be at work.

Feel free anyone to delete my previous post about the CBS interviews. I tried but apparently don't know how to do it once it is posted.

I am so excited for Hackney Diamonds to come out. I will buy the CD at my local Bull Moose Music. I have ordered several different copies of vinyl from Amazon, Rolling Stones store and No 9 Carnaby red edition. I have also ordered it from CDJapan to get bonus materials and extra track.

Driving Me Too Hard sounds like something Keith would sing. Feels like a slowed down mellow version of "How I Wish".

I was thinking the same. Imo it's a Keef song.
I really like it!

Parts of it remind me of crosseyed heart, especially the pre-chorus with "look what you've done to me". At the moment I'm not sure if it is just the overall feeling or a specific song (have to listen to crosseyed heart again).

Talking of Keith songs, Mick says around the 8'45" mark that Keith brought in a song and he names something that sounds like "Tumble with Me"?

MIU reminds me a lot of "We don't wanna go home" in the beginning, fortunately it improves after that!

Talking of old songs brought back to life, WWW reminds me of the old "Never Too Into" outtake!

As for "Golden Caddy" doesn't it even date back to the GHS sessions?

That's promising (I chose to pass on the podcast)! One of my favourite outtakes.

No rock'n'rollator in the world can help the Rolling Stones groove forward

"Hackney diamonds" could have been a last reminder of what once made The Rolling Stones the world's best band. Instead, producer Andrew Watt has gotten away with the cleaning agent and sterilized the entire soundscape, writes Mattias Dahlström.

"Hackney diamonds" is London slang for the pieces of glass you find on the ground after you have had your windscreen smashed in the London borough of Hackney. It's an album title that should signal a return - from being an arena rock band with real gems to trying to recreate the simple life, when Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were just young British lads head over heels in love with American blues, soul, r 'n'b and country.

"Hackney diamonds" could also have been a final reminder of what is deep inside Jagger, Richards and Ron Wood, far beyond all the stadium fluff. A final discharge of the band that was the best in the world for fifteen years, from the mid-60s to the early 80s (and then lived on that reputation for another 40).

From a craft perspective, it's also the Rolling Stones' most focused collection of songs in a long time. With Charlie Watts - whose jazzy smooth drumming has been a central part of the band - death in 2021 hanging over the recordings, lyrics like "too young for dying/too old to lose" in "Depending on you" or the powerful single ballad with the telling title "Sweet sound of heaven” feel more meaningful. The guest artists are also true rock royalty – Paul McCartney, Stvie Wonder, Elton John and Lady Gaga – although it's really only the latter, whose soulful vocals lift the mentioned single, that really leaves any mark on the result.

Had someone in the Stones circle only called in, say, Rick Rubin as producer, the group's first self-titled album in eighteen years could have been a grandiose, if predictable, potential finale.

Now they chose the wooden goat Andrew Watt instead, the music industry's cherished answer to Killinggängets sound-fetishist therapist Uncle Barbro. And that is the main reason why the music on "Hackney diamonds" never lives up to the story of the album after all.

Watt is a perennial Grammy-winning producer who, whether he's producing Justin Bieber, Ozzy Osbourne, Camilla Cabello, Iggy Pop or the Stones, applies the same scrubbed filter to everything, with the sole aim of impressing the guys at the hi-fi store. Or possibly Patrick Bateman.

Stone's groove has always arisen because there is dirt and oil in the nooks and crannies, but Watt has dipped a tip in disinfectant and meticulously cleaned every single note. Large parts of the soundscape on "Hackney diamonds" are thus so clinically sterile, rigid and unimaginably unswinging that no rock'n'rollator in the world can help it move forward.

Best track: "Sweet sound of heaven"

Mattias Dahlström

That sullen Swede needs his ears seen to! I'd guess he was instructed to demolish the album, but the closing summation, after the basic idiocy of the rest of it, is a farrago of nonsense! HOWEVER 'The wooden goat' is such a good phrase though, even if i am not sure what it means!

At least Patrick Bateman might finally realise that the saddest song he knows - YCAGWYW - is not by The Beatles...

I have completed my purchase of all remaining items now, with the exception of the CD boxset, for which I will wait for a BF price drop. The lenticular print was out of stock now on Udiscover, and I had to go to the Stones shop to grab it, and that actually worked out better, as the price was about $14 cheaper!!

Why? Because he does not agree with all mostly extreme positive reviews? Nothing wrong with having a different opinion I think. I was getting a little suspicious after all those flattering reports.

Hackney Diamond vinyl is on its way to my home, says my recordshop. That would mean it will arrive tomorrow. No complaining on my side, but is that even allowed?
