QuoteDoxa True, Ian, but I got the impression from Mick's sayings last year that they still need to do some more sessions as a whole band, something they couldn't then do due the lockdown. Depending on the source (Keith, Ron, Was?) they at the time had 5 to 7 songs already in the can, that is, songs selected to be good enough to be released (probably 'great' in Mick's ter

Charlies drum parts have been done. In a studio setting once the drums are recorded it is rare they need re-recorded. If that is the case the whole song might as well have to be re-cut. A group can record the drums and work on a song with new vocals .. new guitar parts .. all kinds of things and reshape the song some welllllll after the drums have been laid down. In fact .. half of the time t

The only other celeberity that I can think of in that being over a week after their passing and still not real clue is another great ..

I decided to do a little segment on it due to the reissue (and it's 40th year). However I must state .. not 'all' the vocals on TY were overdubbed in 1980/1981 as was said here (backing vocals and some of Micks vocals were in the material initially unearthed by Chris Kimsey and some of that made it to the release):

My Guess is the 2020 Tour will be scrapped all together at this point and a new tour .. album (HOPEFULLY) etc. will be the direction for 2022. This means a New Stage .. everything will be in place for a very late Spring / Tour in 2022 (though I think the stage will be similar to what they used for No Filter).
