My thought's are still the same about the song .. Note: I want to make clear .. I listened to the song about three or four times the day it came out and about once every day since. I didn't just play it once and discard it. Not a loser of a song. It is fresh .. unique .. however still Im just not nuts over it. It's mmm ... 'ok'. That's where I am with the n

QuoteHairball Good to hear from you Ian, and good to read your honest input regarding the new song. But since you've been such an eager beaver to get new material (for years now), and your frustration was always evident with the amount of time they were taking, I guess this could be a case of "be careful what you wish for". Now they've finally released some new music, bu

QuoteHairball I feel slightly bad for Ian Billen who briefly mentioned in the new song thread that he doesn't like the new tune for whatever reason. As he was one of the the main proponents and campaigners for new Stones material, not the outcome I would have ever expected from him. If you're out there Ian, would be interesting to hear your reasoning for the dislike as your musical e

Quotegeorgelicks Mick's in Mustique, Keith in his home in CT and both Ronnie and Charlie in London. The album is the latest thing in their minds right now, I can't see a band of 70+ something near a studio for a long time. ___________________________________________ We don't know what is on their minds right now? They could have studio time tentatively booked in a month

QuoteHairball Sounds great Ian, but I think Mick is still writing songs and hasn't decided which ones will fit on a Stones album. In addition to that, Keith is keeping busy rejecting Mick's songs, and Universal is still calling everything uneven. Meanwhile, Ronnie aka "the puzzle", and Charlie aka "the new album?" are getting restless and bored.... Then there

Since the tour is postponed.... Perhaps they will get some work done in the studio? One may say it's risky .. but our studio will continue to record and I assume most will on a downgraded / less constant schedule. In our studio some nights there is only one person me and an engineer .. others there are six or seven of us which includes six musicians. Perhaps they could try a few wee

QuoteRocky Dijon A lamentable expression that should never have entered the vernacular. As for the new album news, if you think "Tell the Truth" isn't a real song or the bluesy one with the harmonica solo, go right ahead. I'm sure some of it is wrong. They've been tinkering with new tracks for nearly a decade now in some fashion. They've been semi-serious about it be
