Anyone know where we can find the full Conan interview?

I would also like to know this.

Also, my one gripe (I am thrilled with this release so far), and it's a minor one - I absolutely despise digipacks on CDs. I remember HD having the option of a jewel case or a digipack. B&L only gave the option of a digipack, but a few months after release, I found the jewel case in HMV and snapped it up.
My request - if anyone finds a jewel case version of FT online, could they post the link please?

Other than that, no gripes

One chance could have been the Japanese SHM-CD. But the on 07-May-2026 published specifications say Digisleeve only (no Jewel Case): [iorr.org] .

Keith looks and sounds great

Great footage! They beginning to look a bit fragile though, which is pretty normal at their age by the way. It's unbelievable they still are able to put a record together like they do. But I can understand a tour is out of the question when I see them interact.

Yes, thank you - I will keep an eye out. I just really have an unhealthy dislike for digipacks

Had the opposite impression. I‘ve never seen 80+ year olds in my social environment looking this youthful

sorry, it's not live ...

Alright folks, helmets on and seatbelts fastened: I genuinely think Foreign Tongues could turn out to be even better than Hackney Diamonds!

Well, the album cover is a lot more fun, for one.
And the two songs I have heard so far are certainly not bad at all.
Rough and Twisted is one of the best blues songs they've done in ages.
And In The Stars is at least on the level of Angry (which was the best HD had to offer).

Australian readers may be interested to know that some of the versions of the new album are on pre-sale at JB HiFi.

Plain CD $26.99, De Luxe Vinyl & Blu Ray $190, Baby Blue Vinyl $89.99, Vinyl $89.99 and Limited De Luxe Blu Ray $99

But I had to dig quite hard to find these - presumably their search indexing hasn't caught up with the latest news. (Prices taken down from the web site)

Exactly, they look amazingly sprightly ! Of course they're on their "A" game for an event like this but still...

Press Conference

Um, err... 1m 46s of the promo video, zero "Press Conference".

Perhaps you posted the wrong link?

So did they play short clips for each song ? Hopefully someone recorded that !

...Their albums in 80s, 90s and 00s became soulless with no interaction between band members....

Not so sure about that ... from the Voodoo Lounge outtakes it seems pretty clear they were working together/interacting during the recordings. I am pretty sure Bridges To Babylon was similar.

Why wasn't the Conan interview/press conference not aired live on YouTube, I wonder?

Yeah, it’s kind of like, if it’s not easily available to watch, why even bother?
Had a clip of the Conan thing not shown up on my Facebook, I wouldn’t have even known about it.

SAME here, I always hope for the jewel case, and not the digipack.

As mentioned, the Japanese SHM-CD is indeed the best hope; for a good few releases for some of my favourite bands over last four years it seems Japan was the only issue that came in jewel case.

We wait and see when Amazon JP and CDJapan announce these for pre-order; and possibility of a bonus track.

Best album cover art ever in their entire career. I love it.
Just my humble opinion.
I love the Black and Blue cover art and the Through The Past, Darkly cover art.
But to me this one's the best.
The Stones never took themselves that seriously which has always been part of their charm.
I find the cover self-deprecating and funny and I love that it's at the twilight of their career. Awesome.

Hope they'll change it. It's the most ugly cover I've ever seen

What you mean you think they'll recall all the albums being printed right now and replace it with something else because you don't like it?

Art can be ugly and still be good, all part of the expression. It stands out, it obviously won't be changed. Edit: or should I say "it's outstanding!"

So 'Some Of Us' is a Keith song. Or so Conan says - Keith doesn't seem to have a clue.

FNAC has the boxset at 79.99 and cheap shipping cost (at least for Italy). I grabbed one

Looking forward to this release, as I’m sure we all are.

I really like Rough & Twisted…In the Stars is good; however, a bit too shmaltzy for my tastes.

Just speculating here, but I think the 10 finished tracks were intended to be released at each of the tour stops cities…I remember that was planned, before their 2026 European tour bottomed out.

the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler!

So 'Some Of Us' is a Keith song. Or so Conan says - Keith doesn't seem to have a clue.

He was having trouble hearing Conan. Dude is 82 years old.

And then he said “I sing several.” So maybe there are three Keith leads again?

Looking at the timeline with statements and leaked information, we can say that:

- Of the sessions in LA with Charlie, the last ones with him, between 5 and 6 tracks were completed. Three were released, and another one appears on the new album, leaving one or two more tracks with Charlie for a future album or project.

- Of the 2022-23 sessions, 23 tracks were recorded. Twelve were finished for HD and 11 remain in advanced stages of production.

- Three tracks were salvaged from those sessions for the new album, most likely those featuring Ben Waters and Paul McCartney, for example, who recorded their parts in 2023.

- Ten new tracks were recorded in the 2025 sessions.

- This is where the information comes from that the band has ten more tracks to finish on a future album: the one left over from Charlie in 2019, the eight remaining tracks from HD, and a few others left over from last year's sessions.

We getting a reggae song? Tough to tell with the song titles.

Would be nice if Keith has more than one song call to him from the Keithosphere….

I’m guessing “You Know I’m No Good” is a Keith vocal.
One of his favorite themes: “I’m the worst kind of guy for you to be around.”

Just a guess.
