They've been called the world's greatest rock and roll band. Now, after 40 years of performing around the world, the legendary Rolling Stones are hitting the road again for their 31st tour. “Today” host Matt Lauer talked with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards — both 61 years old and friends since they were 4 — for an exclusive interview.

Rolling out their unmistakable logo and the familiar riff of one of their all-time classic songs, the Rolling Stones offered up a raucous rock and roll invitation to fans everywhere: come along on a new world tour. They kicked it off with a surprise outdoor concert Tuesday at the Julliard School in New York City.

Matt Lauer: What got you back? Last time we talked, you said when a Rolling Stones tour ends, it's the last thing you want to talk about.

• Stones on why they tour
May 11: Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and Keith Richards talk with "Today" host Matt Lauer about their upcoming tour, number 31, and what keeps them going after 40 years on the road.

Mick Jagger: It sort of runs in a pretty good cycle.

Keith Richards: I wait for a phone call from Mick saying, “I’m getting a bit antsy. You wanna go on a show and…”

Lauer: Is that how it happens?

Richards: Kind of.

Jagger: Well, don't forget you gotta be a bit hard-headed. There is sort of a supply and demand thing here. If no one called up and said, “We think you should go on tour” — because there's good times and bad times to do tours.

Richards: In a way, Mick and I got the same feeling just around the same time. And then it's, as Mick was just saying, does all of the rest of it fall into place. You know, the business and the supply and demand of it and all of that. But as you say, we're ready. If the demand's there, we'll supply.

Lauer: Inevitably, when you guys announce a tour, a couple of questions come off right off the bat. One is why? I read something you said in an interview that I thought was fascinating. You said, “Why don't people ask that of a John Lee Hooker or someone like B.B. King or someone like that.” That you almost think there's an inverse racism here.
