The new album is "Mick's baby," according to Ronnie in the just-released BBC radio piece. Of course we've already basically known this, as with Hackney Diamonds.

QuoteIrix QuoteMelBelli Paul is a mensch. Hard to dislike. He seems to be getting older now (mildness of age). Weren’t there times where he just replied “Mick Jagger? Who’s that?” and similar things? Agreed. He is mellowing and becoming less arrogant in the same way Keith has become less antagonistic.

Eagles and Led Zeppelin, both of whom outsold the Stones in '70s, trail the Stones on Spotify. The Eagles, or at least Henley, have done their best to alienate fans who seek their music online. So that's not terribly surprising, Zeppelin kind of does surprise me. If there was an obvious recipe or formula for legacy acts to win new fans, then they'd all do it.

Comparing the single to Ringo's album is not apples to apples. Foreign Tongues will chart.

Based on that snippet of "Back In Your Life" from Ronnie's appearance on Fallon, there's an interesting chord change from G to either G augmented or Eb7#5. Interesting for the Stones, at least!

QuoteMaindefender 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.

QuoteLHS1977 QuoteMelBelli I made the mistake last time of prejudging songs based on bland titles. Won't repeat that this time around! Why would you judge a song that you never heard before by it's title? I don't understand any logic even before you realized the mistake. Just having a little fun at my own expense.

QuoteMonkeyMan2000 To me it sounds like Keith in open g in the left channel and Mick playing exactly the same notes but with his harder attack in the right channel. Yes. And that's usually an indication that Mick wrote the riff (a la Highwire, Sad Sad Sad, Angry, etc.).

The idea for the song may have begun in Barbados, but they finished writing it in Montserrat. The extended footage of the 25x5 documentary that recently leaked shows them composing the bridge on the spot, as well as Mick singing lyrics to the verses that he had just written.

Quotegeorgelicks The album's release was likely delayed by two months due to a change in marketing strategy: - The original idea was to create different versions for each show on the European tour, different vinyl records for each country.

Very cool. We can't be certain of the context, but when Ronnie was talking about an "unconventional blues pattern," he might have been referring to how "Rough and Twisted" goes to B minor in an E major blues. That's unconventional - and probably a Mick move.
