So in perspective, Matt Lee is saying all three are not in London, there will be disappointment Cockroaches does not mean live gig and great that we are getting new music. Insight from Matt is the best! Take it to the bank.

Awesome to be getting a new song Saturday and new album soon!

Let’s hope the song is great and that this type of creative marketing continues. Traction in the US has been very low for quite some time. Wonder if they will do anything over there as well

If it be like described above - a single release without shows, despite the marketing has been prepared for more, a question remains why Keith does not want to play shows this time ....

You don't know if "Keith does not want to play shows this time." Maybe he actually wanted, but Mick said no. Maybe Ron said yes, but the Glimmers said no. Fact is that none of us know. If its all about the single/album release, a gig is out of the question anyway - whether Keith wants to play or not.

well the band's named representative said that keith didn't wanna tour in a statment to usatoday in dec of last year

[www.usatoday.com]

that being said it would maybe make more sense to do a racket style show closer to the albums release date or just after then for the announcement and release of the first single

so there's maybe still time for something to happen

All three are in London is what he said - not for rehearsals.

That’s right. Last top 10!
The last single that had any traction in regard to the overallness of an album was Mixed Emotions. Nothing has been bigger since in regard to The Rolling Stones.

I really like the theory that this was part of the marketing for the tour that was not announced including a gig, and that now there will not be a gig. (that last part I don't like)

This whole Cockroaches thing is a great strategy to grab the attention of fans and many media outlets that jump on any bandwagon. The reality is that the album and the first single will be announced on Saturday, but there are no plans for shows at the moment, just a few interviews scheduled, but nothing more than that.

Additionally, there are some listening sessions for the new album scheduled for today and tomorrow at various venues for people in the industry.

thank you

and since we're nearing the end of our wait for this new album i wanna personally thank you as a fan for keeping me and many people here informed on what's going on behind the scenes (thanks to the others who have shared as well)

you been a consistent beacon of light thru the last year or so of significant ups and downs in the stones fan community

just know that to many of us it's been greatly appreciated

Has anyone had a message on the Cockroaches WhatsApp group apart from “Welcome to The Cockroaches, stay tuned”?

As I understand it, Matt Lee says not all the boys are in London. I believe the original conversation was the cause of the confusion; I'm pasting it below for context:

Rod Banister: Do we know if the big three are in London?
Matt Lee: Yes
Rod Banister: Matt Lee Any rumours of rehearsals?
Matt Lee: Yes, they are not in London, it is a single release... probably their best marketing in years but sadly I fear most will be disappointed. It's great they are releasing new music though

The way I read it is:

- Do we know if the big three are in London?

- Yes (not meaning they are, just that Matt knows the answer)

This is very confusing indeed, actually it doesn't make any sense TBH !

So it seems :
1. The "big three" are not together
2. They are not in London
3. They are not rehearsing
4. "their best marketing in years" - well, it's certainly their most confusing/deceiving at this point with a campaign originally geared toward announcing a secret show that isn't going to happen !
5. No wonder some "will be disappointed" !

Deahtgod also told us that his contact had heard the new album in the presence of Ronnie and Mick so they would appear to be/have been together at some point.
