The next Stones album is not released yet, but still some fans do worry about sales of the album. So why not worry about WW3 or may be tomorrow you will be hit with thunders and lighting. I do love "Hackney Diamonds". If the next album is at the same level, I will be happy. To be honest, I will be happy anyway.

Celebrity weddings are so 100% off topic - they do not deserve a separate thread on iorr. If Mick choose to attend any such events, then this 2025 «Mick out and around» thread is the place to post any comments. And as usual, please no comments about politics. The fact that extremely rich people choose to spend millions of dollars to party is their choice. Like it or not.

Production of an album do take time. Marketing planning, design, booking vinyl production, actual vinyl production, then all the other formats. Hackney Diamonds was finished spring 2023, and released Oct 20, 2023. That is 6-7 months. Depending on their plans for marketing and performing shows to promote the new album, I would guess relesing late fall 2025 would be possible.

Very few performing artists may fill up a stadium year after year. The Norwegian pop group a-ha is holding the record crowd of 198,000 fans at Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro Brazil in 19981, even listed in the Guinnes book of records. They may do sold out stadium shows in Norway any time. Critical mass. Nostalgia. The fans know all the songs of these bands, so they are a sure sell out wheneve

This is a thread in memory of Brian Wilson. If you don't like Brian Wilson or Beach Boys, then please do not post here, there are several Off Topic threads about their music. I think it is a disgrace to post here saying "I do not like" or "not my cup of tea"; it is like going to a funeral and say "I did nok like him/her"... Some decency is a minimum please

I have been a fan of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson as long as I have been a Stones fan. What a brilliant music mastermind. I was so lucky to see Brian Wilson live in Oslo Norway, also in London UK with Blondie Chaplin. Love And Mercy!

It is not a rumour - it is a fact. The Rolling Stones i.e. Mick, Keith and Ronnie, pluss several of their support musicians, have been at the Metropolis Studio London UK all through May and more i.e. 5-6 weeks working on the songs for their next studio album, also more studio works in the past, after the 2024 tour finished. Great days for all Stones fans! For those who do not like their curren

The Rolling Stones does not take requests when recording. May be from their mastermind producer, and their band mates, but I don’t think they go to social media for finding ideas while in studio. I will be happy with whatever they do. Since 1963, what a recording legacy! We are talking 2025, 62 yers on, and two years after their previous studio album. I am just happy to be part of it all!

The title of any story in any editorial publication is under editorial review. I am never changing any title, of any thread, except for may be 0.1%.

First of all it is pissing me off when titles of threads are taken out of context, to make people interested in something that are surely not all that special. The editor will have to dig out the real title, check out the story, change the title, and edit whatever crap somebody else would post into such a meaningless title.
