Stevie's also handling the artwork.

LOL

What's the bet that the new album has at least one "Liquid Filled" LP version? I'm surprised HD hasn't yet had one Liquid Filled version released (making a 49th HD LP).

Perhaps filled with Crossfire Hurricane Rum?

Can somebody imagine that they could surprise us with an Avatar show? Listen what Mick said between Honky Tonk Women and the band introduction in Stockholm 22:

Yeah his Vintage MD Nike sunglasses from 2014 looked better on him I'd say ;-)

14 keith looked cool af, mostly thanks to those nike sunglasses. Searched them and considered, but only keith can pull them off

Yeah, along with those baseball jackets he kept dressing in through to the Olé Tour. I loved the one he wore in SA, the YSL with the palm trees.

This is the stage where Keith leaves the studio happy with things, the killer riffs are all over the album, then things occur when he's at film festivals and chiling out on the beach , the team tweak a few knobs and mix a bit of this and a bit of that, and hey presto Keith's riffs are missing

I remember Keith in an interview promoting the Undercover album and he was not pleased with the sound when it was finished, like it had nothing to do with him haha. Charlie commented some tracks even had different names to what he remembered working on.

Why do you even bother.

Yeah, but what I often asked myself is who actually is it who turns Keith's usually great work into shambles or are these just cases of shit happens when you leave early and let others do the dirty work?

I'm guessing Keith would be inclined tp blame Mick

No, not yet. Maybe in many, many years when they are no more and technology is more advanced. When you put on your Apple/Google/Meta smart glasses and see them virtually in concert in 3D.

The Stones are loosing integrity, they have become so fractured at this point in time, what happens now effects the past. Would Keith and Mick of the 60s and 70s have had anything to do with the product that's being put out now as the Stones.

So desperate to be valid in some way or another in old age they are open to let whatever will happen to their legacy.

it has absolutely no effect in any way whatsoever on there legacy

nothing (and i mean nothing) they have done past 1981 will be remembered or factored into the way future generations think about the rolling stones

future biographies about the band will end at 1981 and sum up the following 50 years of there history as

"and the band continued performing and releasing music until 202?

the end"

mick could turn out to be a serial killer with 40 bodies buried under his crawlspace and that fact won't ever enter the mind or color the way someone listening to paint it black in 2125 views the band of there music

all these debates we've engaged in about how much we hate or love this song, album or performance in the last 45 years will be completely meaningless to people a hundred years from now

there legacy is set in stone

this album and these debates are for us and for this moment and will not factor into there legacy in the least bit

now could you at least wait until they release it to criticize or praise it?

Dear Prof...you took pains to throw a few of us under the bus in a previous post of yours as we posted our dismay with some of these ignorant and irrelevant posts from this particular person.

I could see them doing a Racket-type show in London in November - a few guest stars - showcase cuts from the new album, just to get everyone hot and bothered and buying it up before Christmas.

I don't see a tour though until 2026.

A few shows was mentioned. As a possibility. But specific.

I think there was some early talk of a few shows in a few big cities. Not sure if anyone can find this, and ofcourse if it's credible and up to date (plans change)

A big tour seems not likely, but I think there is reason to believe there will be more than 1 shows, and that we as fans can get tickets.

For sure...but everything in regards to shows at this point is pure speculation. I think once we have an album release date we'll have a better idea. I'd love and announcement in August (I know that's pushing it) a la Tattoo You, with a hot single. That would then translate into several shows in the Fall...maybe not a tour but a small tour of residencies. 4 shows here, 5 shows there in a couple of major population centres.

Sales wise. Wait until closer to xmas

thanks

and my apologie extends to to you too if anything i said has offended you it's not my intent

my above post responding to you was a little over the top in retrospect

but my point is that there legacy is the 60's and 70's and it's a solid legacy that nothing they do now will really change for the better or the worst

and we really now know less about the new album then we did last month

if the rumor about the majority of this album being freshly recorded turns out to be true then clearly something has changed and there not using those leftover tracks from the hd sessions

so we really don't have much to base any criticism on yet and theoretically a lot to be hopeful about

as far as keith's involment going forward it's not 1986 anymore with modern technology he can stay involved and in the loop while they put the finishing touches on the album from the other side of the world if he wants

something else i've been thinking about as others pointed out in this thread

there recording this album in london close to some of the places where the most important and significant events in there professional and personal live took place

and there only human i can't see how this wouldn't make them think about there past and there connections to these places

now how this could impact the music and lyrics on the new album is an interesting question for me

we could be in store for a more london centric and reflective album

and that could be interesting

Maybe it'll be an album of psychedelic cricket songs .....

Yeah, but that's because after reading your recent destructive comments about the new recordings here Keith realized that whatever he's doing in the context of the Stones can't make you happy anway, so he gave up and left the finishing touches to others... Besides, staying at The Dorchester wasn't all too cheap either.

Regardless of whatever new recordings were done ie post HD sessions it appears that they have finished off the leftover tracks from the 2022 Henson sessions.

The two Charlie tracks were done in January and February 2019 at Henson along with Living In A Ghost Town. Obviously there were more than those three tracks recorded then that provide additional Charlie tracks on the new album.

Whatever it's called it will very likely be the first time a follow up sounds exactly the same.

Hopefully they've gotten away from the other ridiculous titles they had for HD (HIT & RUN and SMASH & GRA and go out with Keith's contractual pie with the even more ridiculous BUST THE CRUST.

They only have a few song titled albums, LET IT BLEED being the first even though the title is never sung in the song, then IORR, SG, ER, DW and B&L, so hopefully if it's named after a song it's a great song.

And dont forget Ben Waters said he add
Jerry Lee Lewis style piano to a couple of tracks .....



ROCKMAN

Quite possible that Steve's contributions were already in the can on the basic tracks, ready for overdubs and vocals.

There is actually some information coming in about the new album that is potentially very positive, we hear talk of another Charlie track, some tracks with Steve's influence and also some Jerry Lee Lewis style piano tracks.

I think I've been a bit premature thinking this album will be similar to HD. You never know with the Stones, HD might have been an album that gave them the confidence to set up this one, this new album might well be the Roll that was preceded by the Rock we had with HD.

You can never write the Stones off, it's a bit like Bowie when he went all Tin Machine, fans were disappointed but he came back stronger than ever, this could be the album Stones fans have been waiting for.

Would you agree ProfessorWolf some of the best Stones songs throughout their peak period were the tracks that didn't get released as singles, hopefully the new album release is a more mixed bag like we had with Tattoo You, we can only dream.
It's possible Andrew Watt has learned more about this band and maybe he listened to some of the criticism in some reviews concerning the production of HD.
Watt is a smart guy, he's a winner, looking forward to the new album now.

that's the spirit

all that sounds interesting

but where'd you hear this new info on the album?

(also in regards to post tin machine bowie i adore 1.outside)

Just from reading the posts on iorr, i don't have inside information.
You said Keith hinted at another Charlie track.
Rockman said Ben Walters was mentioning some Jerry Lee Lewis style tracks.
Someone was suggesting Keith came in with some already worked tracks with Steve Jordan.

The Keith quote about Charlie (you haven't heard the last of Charlie Watts yet) was a few years before Hackney Diamonds. Not sure if he said this again.

The Ben Waters news was straight from the horse's mouth, so those tracks are most likely in the can.

«Already worked tracks with Steve» is most likely from pre HD-days.
