The post Mick Jagger Shares Update on New Rolling Stones Music appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Earlier this year, The Rolling Stones shared the brand new track “Living in a Ghost Town.” The song was a standalone single but gave fans hope that new material would soon be on its way.
During the coronavirus lockdown, Mick Jagger has been working on new material by the band, and by the sounds of it, The Rolling Stones is cooking up a new batch of songs.
During his appearance on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Jagger was asked about how the band’s new material was coming along.
“I don’t know… don’t hold you breath!” he replied. “We recorded a bunch of tracks at the same time we did ‘…Ghost Town’, so actually I’ve been finishing off the vocals and some other instruments on them, and doing some mixes. So I’m working on it.
“We’ve got to get together and do a couple more sessions on them. But we’re not really gonna get together right now. But it sounds good, what we’ve already done—[it] sounds pretty good to me.”

]]>The post Rolling Stones Release First Original Song in 8 Years appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>According to Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger, who made an appearance on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 on Thursday, the song was penned by him and guitarist Keith Richards and recorded in early 2019 in Los Angeles. Hear it below.
“It wasn’t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things,” Jagger shared. “It was written about being in a place which was full of life but is now bereft of life so to speak…I was just jamming on the guitar and wrote it really quickly in like 10 minutes.”
Further in the interview, Jagger confirmed that the band is planning a new studio album. He revealed that the Rolling Stones were in a studio, working on new material before the coronavirus pandemic caused a widespread lockdown.
The rock legends released their most recent record Blues & Lonesome in 2016, but the record was comprised out of blues covers. Their latest album with original songs, A Bigger Bang, came in 2005 while they also presented two new songs, “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot” on the 2012 compilation release GRRR!.
Jagger explained that the reason why the band hasn’t put out a new original album for so long is that they strive for greatness.
“I don’t just want it to be a good album, I want it to be great” he said. “I’m very hard on myself. If I write something or if I write something with Keith Richards or whatever, it’s going to be great. It can’t just be good.”
Rolling Stones were focused more on tours in the recent decade and were scheduled to perform live in 15 cities in the United States this summer. However, the band recently announced that the tour is being postponed due to coronavirus pandemic and that the fans will be informed about new dates.

]]>Metallica formed in 1981 and although they have been through some terrible times together, they’ve been going strong for almost thirty years now. As it turns out, however, there was a point when the band came close to breaking up.
According to Ulrich, it was the Rolling Stones who helped them out of a rut and had them rocking on top form.
“For us, it’s all about inviting people in and making ourselves as accessible as possible to fans. That period [in 2004] certainly wasn’t easy for us and, since then, we have learned boundaries and where our breaking points are,” Ulrich told The Sun.
“That was the last time we had a real break — we haven’t shut down the band in 14 years, but we disappeared then for about a year. And then the Rolling Stones called us up and said, ‘Come and play some shows with us in California,’ and we sort of agreed you’re not going to say no to the Stones, so that was it.”
He continued: “It gave us the way to start it back up again. Whether you’re a team in an office or a bunch of dudes in a rock and roll band, at some point people have to figure out how to get along and work as a team.
“If you don’t care, it’s easier to walk away, but fortunately we cared enough about Metallica on behalf of ourselves and the fans to figure out a way to make it function. “
He added: “I’m happy that we did.”

]]>The Rolling Stones’ frontman was recently forced to postpone the band’s tour after receiving open heart surgery. After taking the time to recover, it looks as if Mick Jagger is ready to get back on stage.
“I’m feeling pretty good,” Mick Jagger told the Rolling Stone. “Been rehearsing a lot lately in the last few weeks … This morning [I did] a bit of gym. Nothing crazy. Then I go into rehearsal with the rest of the band.”
He also revealed what kind of material the band has been practicing. He says that they have thrown in a couple of curve balls but will also be delivering the trusty classics the fans come to hear.
“The favorite ones people like to hear are, you know, ‘Paint it Black, ‘Honky Tonk [Women]’ and ‘Satisfaction’ and things like that,” he said. “We don’t always necessarily do all of them. We sometimes drop one or two, but there’s maybe ten favorites. I don’t know how people would feel if you didn’t do any of them. I think people would say, ‘Oh, that’s a bit unfortunate, I came to hear this.’”
