Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones has shared his criticism of modern music in a new interview, describing it as “a one-way toilet”.The 79-year-old musician opened up about the topic in a new interview with The Independent, explaining that he hasn’t come around to the current music scene.The interview came in light of The Rolling Stones releasing their latest album, ‘Hackney Diamonds’ last Friday (October 20) – their first album of new music since 2005 – and in the discussion, he criticised today’s hits as being too “synthesised”.“The only way to cut a band is to put the boys in a room and play and look in each other’s eyeballs,” he began, recalling how the members began writing the new LP. “Don’t get me going on modern-day music.

Keith Richards has said that The Rolling Stones were prompted to make their new album, ‘Hackney Diamonds’, partly because of drummer Charlie Watts‘ death.Watts passed away from throat cancer in August 2021, at the age of 80. However, he still plays on two songs from the record, ‘Mess It Up’ and ‘Live By The Sword’.Richards has pinpointed that in a new interview as one of the things that compelled him and Mick Jagger to get back into the studio.

Mick Jagger has said he regrets having waited so long to record a new Rolling Stones album.The legendary band released ‘Hackney Diamonds’ on Friday (October 20), their first studio record of new material in 18 years – by far the longest gap between releases in the band’s 60-year career.With Jagger now having turned 80, and guitarist Keith Richards set to join him in December, the singer has been speaking to The Guardian, where he was asked whether he regrets the length of time between releases.“Yeah, kind of,” he said. “That I wasn’t cracking the whip. Keith keeps saying in interviews, ‘When Mick’s ready to do a record, I’ll do it.’ I went, OK? If that’s all I have to say, then great! We’d got into this groove of going on big tours.

Chris Rock was spotted gettin’ jiggy with it at the Rolling Stones’ album release party for “Hackney Diamonds” — days after Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir hit stands. “Chris Rock looked unbothered by all the Jada drama chatting it up with Trevor Noah,” an eyewitness tells The Post about the comedian’s outing.

The Rolling Stones put out an album of new material — 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” — it was all the way back in the pre-Taylor Swift era.In the interim, the pop superstar has dropped 10 studio LPs — and rocked the music world the way the Stones once did in the 1960s and ’70s — while the legendary British band has released exactly one: 2016’s “Blue & Lonesome,” a collection of blues covers.Although the Stones continued to tour — and play the hits that everybody comes to hear — it certainly seemed as if they had given up on making original music and would ride those classics into the inevitable sunset.But perhaps jolted by the death of founding drummer Charlie Watts in 2021, the Stones are back with — dare I say it — a bang on “Hackney Diamonds,” out on Friday.With the band enlisting Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt — a top studio gun for everyone from Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa to Justin Bieber and Post Malone — you might be worried that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are making one last desperate attempt at the pop charts.Thankfully, that’s not the case.
