Mick Jagger has said his short time with new supergroup SuperHeavy has been a far easier experience for him when compared to the eventful 40 year plus career of The Rolling Stones.
In an interview with Spinner, Jagger admitted that while he was still in attendance for the duration of the recording of SuperHeavy’s self-titled debut album, he did feel some responsibility had been lifted from his shoulders.
“Well, it’s a lot easier for me, to be honest,” he explained. “That’s one of the things Dave sold me on in the beginning. ‘You know, it won’t be so hard for you, because you won’t have to do everything all the time’, and I said, ‘Yeah, right’.”
“But of course, you’re present the whole time. When I wasn’t singing I was playing the guitar, and when I wasn’t playing the guitar, I was playing harmonica, and when I wasn’t doing any of that, I was producing, and when wasn’t doing that, I was making the tea.”
“But you know, I’m not singing all the time, so what I have to do is work out what harmonies I’m going to do and when Joss is going to sing. “OK, it’s your turn, sing this, and now we sing the chorus.” It’s quite easy to do that with Joss, and yeah, it’s fun not having to do the whole thing, but you can’t abdicate responsibility. You have to be there.”
‘SuperHeavy‘ is due for release on September 16th.
