Rolling Stones New Album Will Have Contributions From Charlie Watts, Beatles, Latter Sparking Fevered Dreams Of Special Concerts

The Rolling Stones are facing a copyright lawsuit over their 2020 track, ‘Living In A Ghost Town’.In the suit, a little-known songwriter called songwriter Sergio Garcia Fernandez, who performs under the name Angelslang, claims that the legendary band’s recent track “misappropriated many of the recognisable and key protected elements” from two of his songs, 2006’s ‘So Sorry’ and the following year’s ‘Seed Of God’.Fernandez claims that he gave a CD of music to an “immediate family member” of Mick Jagger, with elements of the two tracks then allegedly used in the band’s 2020 song.In a statement (via Billboard), Fernandez’s lawyers said: “The immediate family member … confirmed receipt … to the plaintiff via e-mail, and expressed that the musical works of the plaintiff and its style was a sound The Rolling Stones would be interested in using.”It goes on to allege that ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ lifted “vocal melodies, the chord progressions, the drum beat patterns, the harmonica parts, the electric bass line parts, the tempos, and other key signatures” from ‘So Sorry’, and the “harmonic and chord progression and melody” from ‘Seed Of God’.Representatives for The Rolling Stones did not respond to a request for comment from Billboard.Elsewhere, The Rolling Stones are reportedly collaborating with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on their new album.According to Variety, multiple sources have confirmed that two surviving The Beatles band members have contributed to an as-yet unannounced Stones album, which is said to be produced by Andrew Watt.

Avenged Sevenfold have shared new single ‘Nobody’ as well as announcing their first new album in six years, ‘Life Is But A Dream’.Set to arrive on June 2, the new album will be the band’s eighth studio album, following their progressive 2016 release, ‘The Stage’.Entitled ‘Life Is But A Dream’, the album was written and recorded over the course of four years, and sees the four-piece channel the wisdom of French philosopher Albert Camus.Not only does the motif of the album centre around Camus’ written work, but the lyrics of frontman M. Shadows also follow suit, and will be rooted in existentialism and absurdism.‘Nobody’, the first single taken from the upcoming release, is available now – along with an accompanying stop-motion music video, directed by award-winning director Chris Hopewell.

The Rolling Stones have been sued over allegations that their 2020 track ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ rips off not one but two earlier songs. The artist behind those earlier works alleges that the band got hold of his music via a member of Mick Jagger’s family.When released in April 2020, ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ was the first new music from the Stones in four years, and their first original song since 2012.
