I’d push back on this with the Mick voice part. Although I’m too young to have seen him back then, I consume their live catalogue like crazy. Mick picks and chooses his moments on tour to wow with his vocals. Reaching head voice at 80 is damn near impossible for most singers and he did it on HD tour multiple times. He dials back on purpose, for longevity. Sure there is some loss of power, but

With some of the rumored dates being 7 days apart that’s a lot of time to get rusty without rehearsing in between. Didn’t seem right, but I don’t know all the history of dates. Logistics could mean not being ready or able to put on a performance worthy of the Stones. If you’re gonna do a tour I would think a bunch more stars need to line up other than just 14 free dates at stadiums. Crossing fin

Saw Pearl Jam in Chicago last night, they gave the Stones a little promo for the new album, Eddie talked about Charlie Watts, and then they played a cover of Street Fighting Man!

The only thing with covid I thought we were done with was having to explain to people how immunity works. There’s a new variant that is worrisome, it has enough mutations that we’re not sure how it will evade immunity. Google search new variant and read. Keith is probably just being cautious…you know cause he’s almost 80, a life long smoker, and who knows what else. However they get there an

You might not like his Mick impression but his impression of Neil Young is crazy good….also a decent Bob Dylan. Whatever your thoughts on Jimmy Fallon, there’s really no one better for this.

All this excitement has me listening to their newer stuff more, ABB “Back of my Hand” definitely has an earlier Stones sound to it. I really love “Let me Down Slow”. Excited for what’s in store, I really love VD, B2B, and ABB, I just skip by all the posts on here from people who are all doom and gloom about the new album. Can’t wait!!

Quotekv2915 Quote20kGrandmas QuoteIrix Hackney Diamonds is an old east London slang phrase for broken glass. It has nothing to do with physical tapes or cloud backups. Hey just a thought..I know I read about the slang but maybe a double meaning. Referring to older songs in the can as “diamonds” makes sense to me. I swear they showed a newer version of an old song a few weeks ago on their Ins

I know it’s been debated as to the origin of the name and maybe someone has already said it but since “Hackney” is an area maybe it’s the actual physical location of the “can”? I’m sure there are backups in the cloud but I would bet they have a trove of physical tape, hard drives etc. Just a thought…beyond excited for this album!

QuoteGerardHennessy QuoteGasLightStreet Quote20kGrandmas it’s really all about the songwriting for me. I could care less about guitar solos…the idea that any type of magic is gone while Keith and Mick are still writing together is blasphemous. My favorite and one of the greatest songwriting duos of all time in the history of music are putting out another album. Just feel lucky we get one more.

Sorry, I COULDN’T care less about guitar solos. A great groove is essential though.

Mick just posted a video to Instagram of him playing guitar in studio over a track of which I can assume is the new album. I don’t underestimate their love for creating and touring, my hopes are still sky high. I’m going to see Buddy Guy for the 3rd time this tour, he’s 86. He hits some sour notes on guitar but his voice is still great and the energy and passion is still there..I see that with
