On 2nd December 2016, The Rolling Stones will release Blue & Lonesome, their first studio album in over a decade. Blue & Lonesome takes the band back to their roots and the passion for blues music which has always been at the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones.
The album was produced by Don Was and The Glimmer Twins and was recorded over the course of just three days in December last year at British Grove Studios in West London, just a stone's throw from Richmond and Eel Pie Island where the Stones started out as a young blues band playing pubs and clubs. Their approach to the album was that it should be spontaneous and played live in the studio without overdubs. The band were joined by their long time touring sidemen Darryl Jones (bass), Chuck Leavell (keyboards) and Matt Clifford (keyboards) and on two tracks by old friend Eric Clapton, who happened to be in the next studio making his own album.
Blue & Lonesome sees the Rolling Stones tipping their hats to their early days as a blues band when they played the music of Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor, Little Walter and Howlin' Wolf - artists whose songs are featured on this album.
"This album is manifest testament to the purity of their love for making music, and the blues is, for the Stones, the fountainhead of everything they do." Don Was, Co-Producer of Blue & Lonesome
Blue & Lonesome Deluxe Box Set
Alongside the standard CD & vinyl formats, Blue & Lonesome will also be available as a Deluxe Box Set. Including CD album, 75 page mini-book about the making of the album and band postcard prints. Pre-order today via the Rolling Stones Official Store & Amazon.

Steve Clark, formally from Def Leppard. Passed away at the age of 30 in 1991. My 2nd biggest inspiration when it comes to Guitar. His idol was Page
Steve Clark of course, must have had a brain fart, drank himself to death iirc, what a waste....have to say I've never liked Def Leppard, their Demo disc that got a lot of airplay in the late 70s was ok but their albums do nothing for me, awful production, horrible drum sound though that's down to Muff Winwoods production not Rick Allen's one armed playing...Nah, they're not for me.... Thanks for putting me right...

To be fair, the people on my train tend to get a bit upset when I start doing my John Bonham air drumming & accompanying facial expressions along to the music.
Ha ha ha...Love it..

I bought the BBC Sessions, the day it came out in '97, I just wanted to have a wee listen to the 3rd disc on my way to work & was unable to.
I seem to recall Amazon having similar issues with the other recent reissues.
Same here in '97, that's a downer though not having the tracks for your commute, or your lunch break, bummer...

Just done "Sons of Anarchy" all seven seasons, entertaining in the early seasons maybe but seasons five, six and seven are complete and utter garbage, shockingly disturbing and way over the top...

Has anyone else in the UK ordered from Amazon & if so, has it appeared in your library yet?
I can't see it in mine & have been refreshing it like someone playing Honda in Streetfighter 2, circa 1993.
Not in my library either, tbh I could not care less I'm only buying this release to save having a hole in my (official) LZ collection, I've got all The BBC recordings on boots anyway...

Vin Skully just said the Beatles played at Dodger stadium 50 years ago today. The Hells Angels had to help them "escape" the fans surrounding an ambulance that was to take them out of the stadium. They played 11 songs in 27 minutes. Went to Candlestick Park and played their last live performance. I believe that may have been way before the roof concert in NY
Rick, the rooftop concert was in London on top of the Apple building.

As much as I admire the musical acumen of both Bonzo and Hughes, Bonzo struck me as the extremely paranoid sort--his frame of mind most likely brought about by his heavy drinking.
Bono, paranoid.....how do you work that one out.....where is your evidence... You are talking absolute bollox.

I never quite understood why he was allowed to share live vocal duties with Coverdale in DP. Some of his commentary to the audience between songs is really asinine as well. That said, his musical legacy is very impressive.
My thought too, there's moments on "Burn" "Stormbringer" and "Come Taste the Band" that really grate when Hughes opens his gob, then there's when he screeches like a banshee on the live "Georgia on My Mind", fucking dreadful....Can't stand his voice..

They got the editing wrong on Moby Dick at RAH, they totally mess with what you can see while John is doing is best moves by switching the camera angles back and forth so fast that you can't really get "watch" it. As if switching the angle made it better
That's just editing, why waste expensive colour film on a drum solo.

Not only THAT but the solo to No Quarter from The Song Remains the Same and others from that release as well. So he edits his own music.
Ever think that the edits you mention above he couldn't get clearance from the publisher to put them out?
No you still don't get it.
IIRC the edits on TSRTS are down to Kevin Shirley in an effort to match the audio release to the soundtrack of the video.
As for the edits I mentioned, I don't think it's anything to do with getting clearance from the publisher, like I said it's more about Page not wanting to pay or maybe it's even more simple than that, Page just does not like those parts of the medley enough to want to release them....

I am watching The Killing on Netflix. It's about two homicide detectives in Seattle and their cases begin to affect their lives and sanity. I recommend it.
I tried it out imo it's not a patch on the Sweedish original.

Somehow a bootleg doesn't look right pressed on black vinyl, nor in a picture sleeve. Give me a coloured vinyl rubber stamped pastel sleeve TMQ any day. I've had many black wax boots but the TMQs have a magic other boots don't have. Walking down the road with a TMQ under the arm, those were the days....
