Here´s a little Interview with an Austrian newspaper (only in german). I didn´t want to open a new thread for it, so please move it somewhere else if necessary.

Most of it is the same old, altough a few things were new for me:

About New Year´s Day:

"That song was already done and had a certain feeling to it. I was sitting there with my acoustic and had the rythm already in my head. It sounded a little bit like Bob Dylan but David and Tico speeded it up. That sounded great and totally changed the direction of the number.
That was very emotional for me cause it totally changed the song. The energy in the Studio was unbelieveable and that song was reborn.
A real co-production."

About touring:
"We rehearsed every day last week (Interview took place in London) to get my voice in shape again.
If I can´t achieve a certain level than we won´t play (tour). I have my principles and when the day comes and I can´t deliver anymore - I´ll quit. That would be okay for me."

On why Hugh now is an official member:
"I said to him: "You deserve it" Not to be in a band picture for 20 years is long enough. "

About Richie:

He just wasn´t able to show up.

When asked that Richie hinted to come back one day (which I don´t recall)
"That is no issue right now. He´s on tour somewhere and has his own career. How often can you go to rehab and come back again? It´s a lot to deal with and I´ve got a job to do. It´s not that I don´t see a possibility for him to come back but that´s not even a question right now.
Life goes on for me, David, Tico and everybody who worked on the record. I wish him a nice life"

Better than the previous perfomances,Tico's playing is in great form,Jon is very anxious (he started to sing the entire chorus though...that's a good sign)

wow if i am not mistaken that was in the "real" tune and not half step down as usual, i really really liked it, thank you for sharing!

This was half a step down with a capo on the 1st fret so technically in standard tuning. Still further down than how it was recorded.

Maybe even once he's learned the lyrics.....he was looking at them even duirng the chorus!

I don't think he looks worried or pissed off. I think he looks focused on his job because they are in the studio and he's focused on the clear and precise production of each word.

He definitely is focussed but I still maintain he looks pissed off about something.

Interesting stuff, thanks.

He's so much more open about his vocal issues. It's refreshing & for me, makes it a bit more tolerable somehow.

Nope. Same key as in other live performances.

Don't get the love for it, I think Jon sounded awful. Worst live performance (vocal-wise) I've heard of the song. He not (only) sounded raspy, but hoarse (right word?). Also he was flat most of the time, especially in the first verse. Which is strange, since there are much higher notes later in the song which were just fine in comparison :confused:

After problems with my pre-ordered version not delivered on time (still not there today!), I cancelled the pre-order and bought my 18 track edition in Media Markt today :-) There's also another Deluxe Edition there, which has 13 tracks (the standard 12 + Touch Of Grey). Very strange...

Probably about being put "on the spot" in a studio with very clear sound of his vocals? Who knows whose idea that was, though I'd think he would've had a veto right, but probably said "ok, let's do it" and now thinks that it wasn't such a good idea after all ;-)
