THE ROLLING STONES READY FIRST ALBUM IN EIGHT YEARS
THE ROLLING STONES are finalising plans for their studio album in eight years.
Expected to be released on September 5, it’s believed the band have recorded 18 tracks from which the final album will be selected.
The album was recorded in France during late 2004 and spring 2005 with producer Don Was. Mixing took place in Los Angeles earlier this summer.
Among the tracks being considered for the album is ’Neo-Con’, which is believed to be an attack on the politics of George Bush and the Republican administration.
Meanwhile other songs that may feature on the record include: ’Oh No, Not You Again’, ‘Back Of My Hand’, ‘She Saw Me Coming’, ‘Under The Radar’, ‘Look What The Cat Dragged In’, ‘This House Is Empty Without You’, ‘Walking Alone In The Rain’ and ‘You Drive Too Fast’.
The album, is the band’s first studio since 1997's ’Bridges To Babylon’, while ‘Oh No, Not You Again’ which the band performed live in May when they announced their forthcoming world tour in New York, is rumoured to be the first single.
As previously reported, the Rolling Stones kick off their world tour on August 21 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Hmmm. Not a good name.

sounds like someone at Contact Music is getting their facts seriously mixed up.
I seriously doubt they'll call the album after a song that they left off.
and the "Neo Con World Tour" sounds more like a name for Bush's "War on Terror" than a rock n roll tour
The NME story sounds more realistic. Plus now we have more song titles
(I bet ya "This House is empty without you" is the 'Keith ballad'. The title has Hank Williams written all over it)

Well, Mick said that the album will be "hard hittin', on your face, contemporary", the name "Neo-Con" is like a good summary of words but in a lonely word. |

Too easy to interpret in a negative way for the Stones themselves:
NeoCon.
Manhattan Beach wraps the US in a perfect title.
Even better as a title than Tattoo You.
Better than Some Girls.
Maybe their best title since Sticky?

Gary makes a good point about the title being Neo-Con, but I like it much better than Manhattan Beach. Neo-Con has a little bite to it which the stones surely need for 2005. |

The new Stones album could simply be titled 'Rolling Stones #3'...great especially, if this really happens to be their last studio record.
And after all, this as-of-yet-incomplete record was once described as comparable with 'Out of Our Heads'...which in reality was their third offical studio release after 'Rolling Stones #2' |

I thought we'd seen all those titles...? In fact, I think both stories are just regurgitations of web reports.

No Doubt so.
Before PC iorr was quoted all over (at least) Europe. |

The Stones Attack Bush On New Record
by Paul Cashmere
19 July 2005
The Rolling Stones will deliver a musical attack on George W. Bush with their new album.
One track 'Neo-Con' is reported to question the political ambitions of Bush's war ethics.
Some fans are already questioning if the politically correct Stones go through with releasing the song on the album. The lyrics don't flatter in any way National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.
The album was recorded late 2004 and early 2005 in France.
Ron Wood is reported to have been absent from most of the recording sessions.
Of the tracks he does play on 'Back Of My Hand' is said to be a blues song in the vain of 'You Got To Move'.
Other song titles are 'Oh No, Not You Again', 'She Saw Me Coming', 'Under The Radar', 'Look What The Cat Dragged In', 'This House Is Empty Without You', 'Walking Alone In The Rain', 'You Drive Too Fast'.
In total 18 tracks were recorded for the album and 11 will be on the CD. Both Keith and Mick have a ballad each. The album was designed to be a back to basics record with only Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie playing on the record.
The yet to be titled album was once again produced by Don Was and is due on September 5.

"Manhattan Beach" sounds too plain, too unimaginative for the Stones. Besides, how many outstanding albums are there with the word "beach" in the title? Neil Young's "On the Beach" is one of his best, but "Back To The Beach"? "Beach Samba"? "Phat Beach"? "Sex On The Beach"? "Love Beach"? "Shagg'n On The Beach"? |

You know, it may be time for someone to issue an official press release. |

'Manhattan Beach' sounds like a very cheap soap in the spirit of 'Baywatch'. Incredible dull. So let's hope it won't make it as album title. 'Oh not you you again' is for instance a lot better as title. Even Stones haters will like it  |

i don't like it at all, the manhattan beach thing is stupid, and the neocon thing is stupid, and the song titles that they say will be on the album are even more stupid. what a stupid thing is going on here??? have they lost their minds??? man.... i don't like it !!! |

>I seriously doubt they'll call the album after a song that they left off.
Just to be annoying, Gazza:
Zeppelin did it (Houses of the Holy) and the Doors too (Waiting for the Sun).
Not that I'm in favor of Neocon as an albuum title. |
|
|
| JaggerLips |
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME CREDIBLE INFORMATION???
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THE NEO CON TITLE FOR THE ALBUM, MANHATTAN BEACH SOUNDS MORE FEASIBLE.
THE STONES DON'T MAKE BLATANT POLITICAL STATEMENTS, WHY WOULD THEY START NOW??
ANYWAY WHATEVER IT'S CALLED I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY GAMMY HANDS ON IT! |

I'm aware of that, actually, you pedantic git! LOL
In fact, the Stones have done it too. Theres an uncirculated instrumental cut in December 1965 called "Aftermath"
However, these days the tour seems to have the same name as the album. "Manhattan Beach" sounds like it could work as a tour title. "Neocon" certainly doesnt. |

Lots of Stones albums have titles that don't appear as songs on the album.
Imagine the song to Bridges to Bablyon or Beggars Banquet or something?

I know, Amy - but in this case we mean a song sharing its name with an album title which WAS recorded, but not included on the finished record. |

No way its NeoCon...just some pre release misinfo.Did see a movie on TV this week end shot at Manhattan Beach studios in LA area.Perhaps the boys were there to shoot the dvd extra portions for the dual format album release.I'm bettin Manhattan Beach.... |

Of course I have!
I am just saying that they don't go all out to be political, they'd rather just focus on the music, Street Fighting Man, Salt of the Earth, Blinded by Rainbows and Highwire etc are all political songs but they are not laments like a Bob Dylan song which focuses purely on the meaning of the lyrics and not the music. Blinded by Rainbows does have a lamentable( is that a word) quality to it but there is still a rockiness to it. |
