Keith Richards has again spoken of The Rolling Stones‘ intent to record a new album, which would be their first in more than a decade.
“I was at a meeting with the lads three or four days ago where everybody said, ‘Yes! We must go in the studio!’,” the guitarist told The Quietus.
The Rolling Stones made their live return towards the end of 2012 and marked the occasion with the release of two new tracks – ‘Doom and Gloom‘ and ‘One More Shot‘. Since then, both Richards and frontman Mick Jagger have this year publicly stated their desire to record a follow-up to 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang‘.
“Where or when I can’t yet say but in the near future,” Richards continued. “At last I’ve got the boys wanting to get into the studio. They all have to want to do it at the same time.”
“That’s the thing with guys – you can’t drag ’em in at gunpoint – but I’ve got the message that they want to. I’m hopeful, y’know?”
