Unearthed Rolling Stones 1960s Footage Being Released

According to Billboard, the band's 2016 release moved another 4,000 copies last week to push the total sum to a little more than 1,004,000 actual albums sold to date. The feat marks the group's 12th album to sell at least a million copies Stateside since Nielsen Music began tracking sales in 1991. "Hardwired�" currently sits at No. 123 on the US Billboard 200.

Murray addresses the rumors when he spoke with Southern California newspaper The Press Enterprise. He told them, "We're not stopping after this tour; this isn't the last tour by any means. We're going to finish this one out, which we're having a lot of fun [doing], and then we're going to take some time off and next year there's going to be some surprises."

Landers was interview by Metal Injection during the New York stop of their North American tour and was asked about the band's previous comments about figuring out new methods or paths when writing new music.

He jokingly responded, "We are still looking. Sometimes, you think, in theory, I want to make this. And then, it ends up [another way]. But you have to try it, and we feel it's time try out things again. Don't worry, it's still with evil guitars and good drummers.

The idea for Give Me A Sign came from a crazy tour adventure. It began in Las Vegas where we played a unique private event. We've played a lot of strange shows in our travels but this one stood apart. They had built an entire forest in the venue and had cast members dressed as various creatures, and there were Cirque du Soleil performers doing acrobatics, spitting fire, that sort of thing, plus lights and lasers everywhere. After the show we hung out with the owners of the Hotel in their private press box in the hotel's Ultra Lounge. There was a famous French DJ performing on the 5-story high stage and the scene was unbelievable. I had never seen or heard anything like it and I was completely blown away. I just sat in that press box mesmerized for 8 hours straight before I was able to drag myself out of there around 9am.

I had to drive to Northern California that afternoon and took off in the later part of the day. The memories from the night before were swirling around in my head nonstop as I headed out into the desert. I had been playing around with the intro melody for a few weeks in a totally different ballad-like vibe, and driving along I started riffing it into this EDM-style syncopated beat pattern. Somehow it all worked so I started laying it out into a song in my head. The weird fantasy world from the previous nights show made me think of how you never really know what goes on in someone else's head and that shaped the lyrics for the chorus.

The route takes you past a greatest hits of UFO sighting locations: The Nevada Nuclear Test Site, the town of Mercury and gateway to Area 51, and an Air Force Base where they fly drones in the Middle East that is patrolled by robotic guard vehicles. All good stuff for desert driving and lyric writing. There had been some recent UFO sightings and there were spaceship-shaped clouds in the sky over the valley where Area 51 is supposedly located. At one point I came across a group of people that were clearly on a skywatching vigil with their lawn chairs set on the roofs of their RVs. It struck me how they were really just looking for confirmation for answers that they already believed to be true, which is what we all do in one way or another. Just Give me a Sign.

When I showed the song to the band I had sketched it out using programmed drums, and translated most of the EDM elements into something more Dishwalla-like. Our drummer George got super pissed at me for coming up with something that had so many different beat and feel changes. It didn't make sense to him at the time and he really didn't want to record it but went ahead and gave it a shot, cussing me out along the way. He nailed it on the very first take. That awesome performance tied it all together and is what is on the record. The rest of the parts came together in the next few days and we had ourselves a finished song.

Goldwatch's camera follows Barker as he gets a tattoo in his kitchen, rides his Special Edition Public Enemy P.K. Ripper with son Landon while daughter Alabama cruises along in her Escalade golf cart.

Barker's also captured applying temporary tattoos on Landon, skating on their backyard halfpipe and driving his classic Cadillac and International Harvester Scout. Like all three previous videos, Barker's edit ends with him playing on stage with his bandmates in Blink.

The short film is streaming here and finds Ritter battling with his own identity, which takes the form of businessman by day and prostitute by night. "The film is a story about this functioning identity crisis and expectations on how we're supposed to be in a public place," reflects Ritter.

Give More Love features 10 new tracks and an incredible cast of collaborators: First and foremost, Sir Paul McCartney, who appears on 'We're on the Road Again" and 'Show Me the Way."

When asked about his favorite guitar players, Trucks - widely considered a modern great himself - says: "For me, Duane Allman was my first influence, so he's always right near the top. Then there's Charlie Christian, who was one of the first electric soloists. He played stuff that people still haven't quite topped.

"I love the old blues guys, too. The way John Lee Hooker approaches the instrument is so singular and unique. It's not always technique and flash for me; it's 'how does it stick with you?'

The album's title track appeared on Young's 2010 album, "Le Noise", while the package delivers stripped-down versions of fan favourites "Powderfinger", "Human Highway" and "Pocahontas", and features two previously unreleased tunes: "Hawaii" and "Give Me Strength."

The original session was produced by Young's longtime studio collaborator David Brings, and has been updated with new post production by John Hanlon, who has worked with the rocker since 1990 and produced his most recent works, including his latest effort, 2016's "Peace Trail."
