Just got a call from a friend who works at Universal, he was very excited. His boss had called him in to his office, a mp3 had just arrived in the email, so they had a little listening party. Then he called me to brag :) What he said was that it was guitardriven, and a rocker. It seems this song will be the choice for airplay. He did´nt say any more, they are now waiting for the promos to arive from England i think. I hope to get back on the subject. i don´t post here often, but i thought you like to know anyway, even if the info was slim .

Nice to read this... Would be great Listening them right now!

must tell your friend click on "Forward" option to share....

finally the songs will be filtered before Nov 12, as ever....

Rolling Stone magazine said that One Last Shot was the guitar driven song. Very interesting. Why didn't your friend let you hear the song over the phone?

Long time no hear from our Stones Viking friend and it's about time you dropped in again here, mate!! :) Well... how did your friend actually "rate" the song? Saying it's guitar driven and a rocker is awesome but we sort of already knew that. How good did he say it actually was? As well... ask him if it was standard generic rocker from them or was it something a bit different this time?


Nice to see you mate... have not heard much from you since A Bigger Bang was just about to come out in 2005 and you gave us some insight.

It´s because it was only his boss that got the file, and my friend and co-workers  had to listen to it in his office. I asked about the guitars, and my friend said the song was "guitar driven", he did´nt say if it was a rocker or not.
That´s all i got for the momentt  :)

Leak can't be too far now...I guess Mick's song wins again, Keith's "One Last Shot" had a more promising title though. Guitar driven is really not very informative, I mean which Stones songs are NOT guitar driven other than crap like "Losing my Touch" and "Out of Tears" ?

I guess it would be interesting to know if the guy that heard the mp3 still has the song spinning in his head and would like another listen/..or....just a throw away.....

obscure reference lost on younger posters........

Thanks for the info. I'm sure you really wanted to hear a snippet, or to be given some lyrics or whatnot. It's a shame your pal only called to give you hardly any information.

'Gloom & Doom' is, presumably, a jaunty ditty, with lovely tiddly bits soemwhat building on 'Mixed Emotions' ('Mick's E-Motions') and 'It Must Be Hell' and so on, and even 'Beast Of Burden' ('(I'll Never Be Your) Beef Curtains') and other elements befitting of, and playing with and counteracting, the curent time and groove and so on. I have trust in The Stains to root-me-rotten-and-ragged with a poignant, bottom-jigging, hoot-inducing and even transluscent single.

I'm kinda looking forward to G&D. Mick can be funny when he waxes political At the very least, he's more clever than when he sings about, say, beauties, cuties, and jello moons.

Thread title modified to give the song its correct title.

I love how after seven years the Stones release two new songs and there's mass confusion over what BOTH of them are actually called.  ;D

If the advance descriptions of the lyrical content of the song are accurate, can I be the first to express my disdain at the absurd notion of 70 year old men going out on the town dancing to anything faster than a waltz.

Just another day at the office?

I wonder if instead of "Pre-production by Matt Clifford" for Mick's 40 Licks three tracks we'll get "Pre-production by Dave Stewart" for "Doom and Gloom", i.e. a SuperHeavy outtake !

My expectations are extremely low for this new tune.

As a precaution, I have made proper preparations to be able to heavily self medicate myself after hearing it.

Indeed, better be safe than sorry.

Best case scenario : Mick found an interesting tune while trawling the archives for the Exile and SG boxes and saved a tune...now the world will have the million dollar question (why was Fiji Jim left off of SG) answered !

I'd like to hear some details about the song before late tomorrow, maybe a review of some type. I would also like to be able to know some lyrics. I want this song to crush us! I want to be able to run an extra mile while listening to it, I want to bench 25 more lbs because of it. I wonder what the over/under is that Fox News is in the lyrics. I want the Stones to be hot!

October Surprise- this song will be really good...

I was hoping for a new bootleg by now...not a single

My prediction is that these two new songs are going to be so good that die hard fans are pissed there's not a full new album.

Oh I know it all right. Its just been a while since I saw the term 'beef curtains' anywhere but the Viz profanisaurus!

we should atleast be hearing something about it by now, some hints.

I'm listening to the KFox feed. A previous poster said this station will play the new song today. This station is in the middle of their 9AM-Noon no break music marathon. If they are going to play it, it's going to be during rush hour - when most people are in their cars. I can't see them playing it in the middle of the day when nobody is listening.

farting around on youtube, nothing there yet.

8:15am BST BBC Radio- World Premiere! No one else will play it first I'm afraid.

What are leaks for ?

@sweetcharmedlife - what did they say exactly ?

WMMR in Philly was the first station in the world to play Tattoo You I think. People break world premiers.

Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.

wonder if XM Radio will have this as well?......

I just heard Carol Miller talk about the new track - she didn't mention if SiriusXM had it or not.

12 hours away!!

The morning DJ said that the afternoon drive DJ may play it. I asked her for more info on her Facebook page, But have'nt heard back from her yet. But afternoon drive is 3-7 pm PDT.

Somebody has this and has heard it........lets find them and drag it out of them. SCL get over there and work your charms on this gal......or threaten her with a day at Joey's

so..I check out ITunes...for an update or to see if there is a listing....and what is on first page there?...A big Beatles freaking ad for Magical Mystery Tour.......GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

maybe it's weak thus no leak.

Thanks, decent music anyway so I don't mind listening in. Is that Greg Kihn's station? Is it ad free on the air too or just in the feed? That's quite amazing.

Not if it's a disco tune.

It's called Dance Pop now...
If Justin Beiber can play PHISH music as his intros...it won't be too long...
This may certainly be something that we shall see on GLEE in about 6 weeks time...


Do they still have a BBC channel?
The old channel changed to the Studio 54 channel...

Wow Greg Kihn got canned ?! And like that he's gone, nothing left on their website like he never existed, USSR style, so sad...found this article on the Merc : http://www.mercurynews.com/music/ci_21545966/greg-kihn-parts-ways-kfox

Yes - that might cause us a few legal problems if officially released material is pirated on here. Thanks.

If youre posting a link to youtube though thats not a problem.

BBC radio 2 will be playing The RollingStones NEW single toMorrow (thursday Mornin) at 3:15am NY time!!!

disregard if this has been posted elsewhere... :paristhong

Wow... you really must hand it to them for their secrecy about matters in 2012. NOBODY has heard it, it hasn't been leaked anywhere. Nobody knows their full plans yet either.


Indeed, they tightened up significantly on their keeping everything official and if not official ....it's almost all under wraps. Not a peep or bleep of any of the new material like it's the old days or something. Even in today's Internet peeping Tom age, we got nada

- The new stuff has been kept completely hidden and we don't even know anyone who has claimed to of heard it or what it's like and it comes out in literally hours.... Indeed they really tightened up all the loose edges and kept it quite secluded. I mean Geez...it is going to be officially released to the airways in like, six short hours and NOBODY (no DJ...no record exec... no dude in promotions....no guy sweeping up at the studio....) is blabbing anything about it.... geesh.

In the name of flaming ar*eholes, will someone please post a link to 'Doom/Gloom & Gloom/Doom'. I have to take the spaniel for a walk, then have a good kip.

Has anyone heard the rumour that 'One Last Shot' (aka 'One More Shot') is, partly, Keith's paean-ean to James Last, the great band leader.
Sorry, I dreamt that. But seriously, over my beakfast cereals, I'm very keen on hearing the band's potentially greatest / most poignant ever single,  :smilemick  ... but, seriously, who sensible is listening to Chris 'Crisp' Evans, or whoever, so early in the  morning? It's madness. There are alternative universes in which people are prosecuted for getting up before 11.45am at the bare minimum.

I must have some shut-eye, but I suspect that 'Doom & Gloom' will be one of the most poignant and lovely ditties that Chuck W and the team have ever committed to vinyl.

Goo' night.

That is completely unacceptable, Mr. Sweet Charmed Life. I am going to have to turn this incident in to the captain. I cannot, and will not, tolerate any short-comings concerning a brand new single from The Rolling Stones.


I would advise you to have an attorney present if at the next meeting you are still without a plausible explanation of this occurrence... .. .. ..




Ian

I am waiting ... oh yeah oh yeah   just one hour again !

For France it's 09.15 not 08.15

beware   :nooslajaleisk

In right around 15 minutes they will be playing it ... the DJ's have been mentioning about about it for the past hour and a half here and again ... (very much looking forward to this.... yes... I'm excited about it).





- Ian

well that got me dancing around with me hog out..........!



on the down side, my boss and co-workers were a bit shocked....................

All i hear is Domm and Gloom , not the new JJF  but  very good intro riff !!


IT ROCKS

not too shabby........

Off to a good start but runs out of steam and the bridge/solo are...unimpressive.

Sounds like "Driving Too Fast" part II really, one of the most boring songs on ABB, fortunately it's a bit better, thanks to that big beat. Reminds me of Sheryl Crow's "Gasoline" from 2008 too. Will be working on putting it on YouTube.

Some good parts and I love the riff but I have never understood why they use the techno drum beats. Charlie is more powerful than that. It's always too early to judge after a couple listens. Hurt sitting in the dirt was a little weak for a lyrical powerhouse like Jagger. Still, it's bring a smile to my face when I hear it and I'm just chuffed to bits that they have put out something new that I can listen to for a while. An album would have been nice boys.

Chris Evans was unbearable.

Was not what I was expecting... at first ...in the first minute I was not sure if I even liked it... then I started to. Kina cool.


Definitely different for them. Heavy beat, thicker guitars, odd melody... but something about it makes you want to hear it again.


Almost a sort of eastern (asian) guitar part in there here and again. Odd ... but not bad. Needs more time... I don't exactly get it. At the same time it really "thumps" along in it's production. A sort of different approach ...no doubt.


It is a sort of cross between 999 from Keiths solo album Main Offender and INXS's Wild Wild West is the best way I can describe the songs sound and texture and how it is put together. It isn't exactly poppy though, just danceable. It is not "standard" Stones ...

It's Rock N Roll but has pop sensibility, without it being light, or glossy at all. It has a groove that may get you dancing and shaking about. It's got something but I'm not sure what it is.

going back to sleep

It seems the version from the album will be different with more guitars and a "real" drumming...So the folllowing message is based on the Youtube version..

Well...the good points:

Good drumming, I love the snare sound.
Guitar sounds great : it rocks!
Lyrics with no " Fantasy" and "cards on the table" words.
Good Production, it 's modern and I love it.  
Catchy , grow up and up in your head.

the bad:

Riff ala young "You got me Rocking"
Good break but should be longer with this ambience.
the rest of the lyrics
Jagger voice sounds sometimes forced and tired.
The band still has no bass player, what a shame!
No guitar solo while our Donald seems on fire with a killer sound on this track.

Too bad they won't do a record in this mood ! 6,5/10 for me.

Nice review.

Here's my take: No inspiration to be found but it rocks.Thank somebody it's not a SuperHeavy 'dancing'  song. I hate dancing.

And that was my Robert Christgay impression of the day. Thank you very much; farewell and goodbye

I actually liked it. And Jumy, I thought Mick sounded good!  :nomames Kind of edgy, rougher, less polished. More mid 70s like in a way.

I think they sound tight and actually relevant.

It's got me chair dancing at 5:50 am BEFORE coffee.
I like it!!!!!!!

Guitars sound really good.

STONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked it very much. Quite a good rocker. Jagger's really yelling though.

Good tune. Guitars are badass, Mick's vocals are great, Chazz is on fire. I'm quite surprised...expected something underwhelming.

ITS GOOD,NOT GREAT

http://rollingtimes.org/songs/Doom-and-Gloom/

I've tried to get the lyrics down - any suggestions for the '?' before the word 'rich'?

Musically, I like the song and it has a few hooks that make me want to listen again (e.g. the lead in after chorus into verse). Mick's hallmark of riffing the vocals are definitely present towards the end of the song, but on a whole I thought his voice sounds strained, overly loud and eventually irritating.

I can imagine it'd be good live though

Arent the lyrics on the video on You Tube?

On first listen I liked it a lot...gave me goosebumps just like first time hearing new stuff all my life! Eagle Rock's video has the lyrics:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPFGWVKXxm0

I downloaded both tunes for $2.58.  Now all I have to do is program a playlist with the running order and-viola--I own the Super Deluxe.  The songs are grrrrowing on me!

I thought a viola was a musical instrument....   ;D

BOTH songs? Is 'One More Shot' available on i tunes now too?

I mis-spoke, I got both versions of Doom n' Gloom, not the other song just yet...I should've known that they would hit us extra for alternate mixes!

Yes - but it seems whoever made the video either left out this one bit (coincidentally), or also struggled to interpret it.

Could well be!

This sounds like they replaced Charlie with a drum machine. Souless drumming. Flat. Where's Keith? This doesn't sound like the Stones to me.

I like it :) Bravo!

I like it!  This is going to be a good one live!

Rockin in my chair before daylight.  :keithpunky

So two versions of this song? Is this the Mick version with what he feels to be a radio friendly mix? I want the mix that has Charlie and Keith on it.

This is danceable though!

Maybe Paul Cashmere was right and Charlie left four years ago.  ;D

I listened to the iTunes sample and I actually prefer the radio/video version with it's "swamp" feel. Keith is on it alright, right channel, not very loud in the mix, how times have changed...

But yeah it was good fun listening to the countdown on the radio !

What is the other itunes version?

Ok one listen and its mediocre.......probably better than I expected. But the lyrics?.....Sittin in the dirt?.....where are those Jagger phrases that we all love and use at the end of our posts...great stuff from Exile etc.....little effort to be creative word wise and the guitars sound like We Dont Wanna Go Home........anyway maybe it will grow on me but its nothing great right now. The boom boom boom part and no Charlie featured?......they mailed it in

I like it.
Lyrically its …meh.
But the guitars and drums are great, Mick sounds great.

I wasn’t expecting anything that great. So for the first time in ages it’s good that they exceeded my expectations

I only found the version on iTunes (deluxe version?)
Where are the others?
One reviewer on the web said his version had a harmonica solo? Mine didn’t

Mick probably had most of the song worked on in his own studio before the band got anywhere near it - which is why he's more prominent on it.  They only recorded for about four days, dont forget.

Similarly, I'd expect the other song - which was apparently Keith's - to have more of his stamp on it than this one.

These days, its a pretty natural way of working and result for a band whose songwriters dont compose together and who would demo their songs separately.

It’s been six years since the last one, and over 20 years since the last hit, but the new Rolling Stones single sounds very, well, Stones-y. For which, I suppose, we must be grateful. At least they haven’t gone dubstep.

In defiance of advancing years and creaking bones, Doom & Gloom is an energised, uptempto blues attack built around a raw Keith Richards and Ron Wood slashing rhythm guitar riff, meshing thrillingly with a Muddy Waters style blues harp and underpinned by Charlie Watts tight and minimal backbeat. This gritty, dirty groove is topped off with one of Jagger’s shouty, one-note blues holler vocals that gets in your ear and yacks away like a headache. The frontman makes each line last several seconds beyond its natural end point, turning “road” into “ro-o-o-o-o-oa-d” and (rather impressively) “explode” into “explo-o-oa-o-o-oa-aa-deh”, overstretching syllables with a relish that would make Liam Gallagher weak at the knees.

With long verses sustained on one chord, and Jagger yelling over a familiar blues progression on the chorus, the immediate impression is not a million miles from Exile On Main Street’s basement rock. The texture of the interplay on the backing track has hints of Gimme Shelter, and the defiant aggression of the vocal touches on Street Fighting Man but the song itself never quite takes off, hammering away with the kind of heavy handed of gusto of veterans chasing the inspiration of their youth. It lacks the real juice and wayward spirit of those bygone days.

A big part of the problem is Jagger’s voice, which is (as it has been on recordings since the late Seventies) just a bit too high in the mix, too assertively dominant. Jagger has suggested this is a political song but it is the glib politics of laissez faire, a non-voter’s protest anthem. Smartly turned couplets evoke crashing aeroplanes, zombies in Louisiana, overseas war, tightening screws, mounting garbage and endless news of “doom and gloom” but the singer’s complaint is not really about the state of a deteriorating world. He’s just a bit grumpy about being subjected to all this bad news when all he really wants to do is dance. This kind of stuff might sound nihilistically charged from a street fighting 17-year-old but just sounds little bit glib from a 70-year-old.

The best bit is when he stops singing and starts blowing. There is a fantastic, swampy guitar and harmonica interlude in the middle, in which Charlie shifts to the offbeat and the band lock into a down and dirty groove. It’s a reminder of everything the Stones do so well, indeed, better than anyone else. Doom & Gloom may not be a classic single but it at least sounds like they are trying to recapture the spirit that made them the world’s greatest rock and roll band, and having fun doing so.

another review from NME

Currently you can go to the Channel Four website and book your seat on the plane crash to see if you’d survive. If the new single from The Rolling Stones – ‘Doom And Gloom’, released as a download this morning - is right, though, surviving would be the worst possible option. Not only would you find yourself stranded in zombie-infested wasteland and having to shoot your way out, you’d be in the company of “(i)drunk and insane(i)” fellow survivors with no idea how lucky they’ve been: “(i)sitting in the dirt, feeling kinda hurt/And all I hear is doom and gloom(i)”.

That, fifty years into their career, they can come up with a song that opens like a mission from Dead Island (“(i)Crash landed in the Louisiana swamp/Shot up a horde of zombies, but I come out on top(i)”) and also unwittingly mimics Baldrick’s poetry (“(i)when those drums go boom boom boom(i)”) speaks volumes for their continued playfulness – they’re a pension-worthy band with the hearts and souls of petulant teenage freaks. That they go on to drop sly references to the Iraq invasion – “(i)lost all that treasure in an overseas war(i)” – and social inequality is testament to their sophistication, and that the whole thing is wrapped up in a tune reminiscent of their peak period makes for a rare combination of wisdom and enthusiasm. It sounds like a ‘Gimme Shelter’ for Generation Wii.

Keef’s riffs are fresh as ever, Jagger yelps, claps and croons about getting hammered like he’s still living it up down the LSE bar and there’s a Zep-tastic breakdown that thankfully stops the whole thing sounding too much like Primal Scream’s ‘Rocks’ – a concept that would launch music into an inescapable loop of influence as confusing as a bad time travel plot. No, the first new Stones song in seven years is a revitalising reminder of what made them great in the first place, a tune that will sit seamlessly amongst their classics. Are you listening, Macca?

Fans like song recorded after the band reunited in a studio for the first time in seven years

LAST UPDATED AT 09:32 ON Thu 11 Oct 2012




THE Rolling Stones have debuted a new single – a product of the band’s first studio session together in seven years. The single, Doom and Gloom, was premiered on Chris Evans’s Radio 2 show this morning. A lyric video (below) is now available on YouTube and the single can be bought from iTunes.

First reactions are generally positive, with The Daily Telegraph’s music critic Neil McCormick saying the single “has hints” of the Stones classics Gimme Shelter and Street Fighting Man, while Jagger overstretches syllables "with a relish that would make Liam Gallagher weak at the knees".

Doom and Gloom is one of two new singles recorded by the Rolling Stones for a new hits album called Grrr!, which will be released on 12 November. The other single, yet to be aired, is called One More Shot.

The new material came about after Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood got together in a Paris studio for the first time in seven years. The new singles are produced by longtime Rolling Stones producer Don Was, who has worked with the band on five previous albums (Voodoo Lounge, Stripped, Bridges To Babylon, Licks Live and A Bigger Bang).

Doom and Gloom has been received warmly by fans on Twitter. One describes it as "pure pub rock, done so, so well", while another cheers: "At last, something decent in the charts”. The consensus appears to be that "the Stones have still got it".

The Sun is equally enthusiastic, describing it as a "stomping comeback" and "arguably their best single since 1981 hit Start Me Up". The paper adds: "With a dearth of decent contemporary guitar music to get excited about, the Stones show young upstarts how good rock 'n' roll can be when it's done with craft and heart."

At the Telegraph, Neil McCormick writes: "In defiance of advancing years and creaking bones, Doom & Gloom is an energised, uptempto blues attack.”

But he adds that it "lacks the real juice and wayward spirit of those bygone days". Jagger's voice is "just a bit too high in the mix" and the lyrics – about the endless news of doom and gloom – might sound "nihilistically charged from a street fighting 17-year-old but just sounds little bit glib from a 70-year-old".

I hope to hear this blues version ASAP.

Over at IORR both versions have links and you can download in seconds...Itunes be damned.........

There is no blues version, the iTunes version is a "clean mix", the radio/video version is a "jungle mix" ;-)

The harmonica is heard in the bridge, it's that wailing sound, pretty well done, similar but dirtier than in "Break the Spell".

Thanks  ;)

The other version has more fucking guitars! I hear my motherfucker Keith Richards!  Ahhh!  Sliding around with some nice riffs. I will be playing this the rest of the day.

I like it, people. I like it a lot.

I love it. I'm stiff as a board.

Can't stop playing it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!

iT'S SO LOUD MY EARS ARE RINGING.

I like                                :perverted :pullanolte :paristhong

breakfeast of champions!!

puttin the grrrr in my granola

Go to IORR and find the iTunes version. I love it!

Woke up to this in my in box from the Stones themselves. How thoughtful. Not sure what version I listened to. But I liked it. Nice riff. You have to get used to the Jagger growling constipated style of singing. But it's still better than Start Me Up. Of course a cat in a blender would be better than start me up. But I'm full of doom and gloom. :warhorse :keithpunky :booze :willya

that lyric video is fun to watch

Better than I though it would be..........Guitars 90% Ronnie?

This is what I've gathered from the iTunes version (not the lyric video version)

Doom and Gloom
Jagger/Richards


I had a dream last night,
I was piloting a plane,
And all the passengers were drunk and insane,
I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp,
Shot up a horde of zombies,
But I come out on top,
What’s it all about?
Guess it just reflects my mood,
Sitting in the dirt, feeling kind of hurt.

And all I hear is doom and gloom,
And all is darkness in my room,
And through the light, your face I see,
And baby take a chance, baby won’t you dance with me?

Lost all the treasure in an overseas war,
Just goes to show you don’t get what you pay for,
Bowing to the rich and you worrying about the poor,
Put the feet up on the couch and lock all the doors,
What’s that funky noise?
I guess they tightening up the screws,
Sitting in the dirt feeling kind of hurt.

All I hear is doom and gloom,
But when those drums go boom boom boom,
And through the night, your face I see,
And baby take a chance, baby won’t you dance with me?
Yeah! Baby won’t you dance with me? Ah yeah!

(Guitar solo)

Fracking deep for oil,
But there’s nothing in the sump,
The kids are picking at the garbage dump,
I’m running out of water, so I better prime the pump,
I’m trying to stay sober, but I end up drunk,
We’ll be eating dirt living on the side of the road,
Got some food for thought,
Gonna make your head explode!
Feeling kind of hurt – yeah!

And all I hear is doom and gloom,
And all is darkness in my room,
And through the night your face I see,
Baby take a chance, won’t you dance with me?
Yeah! Come on! Baby won’t you dance with me?
Feeling kind of hurt, baby won’t you dance with me?
Oh yeah!
Sitting in the dirt, baby won’t you dance with me?

Definitely one of Mick's better solo songs

A Goddess outtake maybe?


of wait...


What???


this is a Stones song????



Oh.  Nevermind then.

The version I posted I will call the Funky Version, since Mick uses the word FUNKY in it.  

This is the same song, no?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on05AgjJsoE

from the New York Times:

Over the course of their career the Rolling Stones have revealed themselves to be a surprisingly neurotic band: keeping tallies of your nervous breakdowns, pleading to be given shelter and wondering – we’re just paraphrasing here – if they’d ever attain any measure of satisfaction in their lives. Now, on their first single in six years, and at an average age of 68 1/4, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts have declared, once and for all, that all is “Doom and Gloom.” This song, which made its debut Thursday on BBC Radio 2 (and which we were pointed to by Stereogum) is one of two new tracks that will be included on “GRRR!”, a multi-disc greatest hits compilation that will be released on Nov. 12 to celebrate the band’s 50th – 50th?, yes 50th – anniversary. “Gloom and Doom” finds the Stones in classic, apocalyptic blues-rock-stomp mode, but with its contemporary references to shooting up hordes of zombies (and hydraulic fracturing), will it be their first track to find its way onto a trailer for “The Walking Dead”?

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/the-rolling-stones-bemoan-gloom-and-doom/


And the Riffy-approved Fox News version:


The Rolling Stones aren't done yet.

To help celebrate an astonishing 50 years on or near the top of the rock and roll heap, the band has recorded and is releasing a new single, 'Doom and Gloom,' as part of their upcoming collection 'GRRR! Greatest Hits.'

'Doom and Gloom' marks the first time Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood have been in the studio together in seven years. Produced by longtime Stones producer Don Was, the single is a straight ahead rocker with a somewhat more modern sound than even the Stones' most recent offerings.

A 'lyric video' of the single is now viewable on YouTube (below), and the song is available for download on iTunes.

.

I thought the same thing. Either that, or "Oh No, Not You Again." Lyric phrasing is similar.

I still like the song, though, dammit!

Its just Mick's  'Everybody Getting High' redux

Doesnt even sound like Keith and Charlie played on it. Probably sampled his own drum and gtr tracks from Goddess.



Thanks a ton Mick, for polishing up a Goddess turd and selling it to us as a Stones song.

I enjoy the iTunes version more than the lyric version. There's more of two guys - Charlie and Keith.

I like the way the beats break up in the lyric version. I don't know why they can't just agree on one mix and release it. This is like "Plundered My Soul" with the missing MT lick!

Its really just a different version of We Dont Wanna Go Home.........might catch some air play though...and the 20 minute disco dance version (coming soon no doubt) will be played in clubs

301 views on You Tube.

Lyrics are kinda weak..."Zombies"??? Could it be anymore trendy??

The music just kept reminding me of JJF...over and over...not a bad thing...but kinda rehashed.

Overall a 3.5...LIKE

in spite of the lyrics...I do like the Lyric Video...very well done and it keeps your interest...
much better than watching a 70 year old Mick at this point in time

Voodoo is easy to please, 10/10 probably because of the cold turkey I have due to the lack of new songs since 2005

Anyone have a listing of the musicians who played on this? When do you think that info will be available?....parts of it don't have that "Charlie sound" it sounds like a drum machine....the guitars are kind of generic. I only hear Keith in the beginning.

Rolling Stones release new single, reviews mixed
LONDON (Reuters) - The Rolling Stones released new single "Doom and Gloom" on Thursday, their first new song in over six years, and early reviews were mixed.

Celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, the British rock veterans behind "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "Honky Tonk Women" have gone back to their roots in a fast-tempo, blues track described variously as "gritty", "dirty" and "swampy".

Doom and Gloom is one of two new songs on their upcoming greatest hits album "GRRR!", which hits shelves on November 12, and there was a sense of relief among critics that the track sounded like the Stones of old.

"Received music industry wisdom has it that new Rolling Stones material exists purely to flog compilation albums or tour tickets," wrote Dan Silver in the Mirror tabloid.

"It's with some relief that we report it's actually rather good," he added in a three-out-of-five star review.

Neil McCormick of the Daily Telegraph also gave Doom and Gloom three stars, saying it was "business as usual" for the band and drawing comparisons between the song and the "basement rock" of their acclaimed 1972 album "Exile on Main Street".

Both critics argued that the song's weakest point was lead singer Mick Jagger's vocals.

"The best bit is when he stops singing and starts blowing," said McCormick of the harmonica interlude.

Silver praised the "nicotine-stained chords" of Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards on guitars and Charlie Watts's "customary magic" on the drums, but added:

"If there's a weak link here then it's actually Jagger, who honks and caterwauls over the track like one of his own tribute artists. His extended enunciation is excruciating - almost to the point of parody in places."

Music magazine NME called Doom and Gloom a "'Gimme Shelter' for Generation Wii.

"The ... new Stones song ... is a revitalizing reminder of what made them great in the first place, a tune that will sit seamlessly amongst their classics. Are you listening, Macca?" it concluded, in a challenge to ex-Beatle Paul McCartney.

Doom and Gloom and GRRR! are part of a series of events to celebrate half a century of the Stones, one of the world's most successful and influential rock and roll bands who started out on July 12, 1962 at the Marquee Club in London's Oxford Street.

The rockers walk the red carpet at the London film festival next week for the premiere of a documentary called "Crossfire Hurricane" and they also published a photograph album in July.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York stages a film retrospective opening on November 15 and the Stones are even helping to decorate London's famous Carnaby Street this Christmas.

Doom & Gloom rocks and it's mainly all due to CHARLIE! He's banging those skins the hard way, just the way I like it! Good guitars too, love the song, digging it. My only complaint is MICK is too loud in the mix and too clear, I liked it better when he slurred the vocals somewhat making it difficult to understand and that sounds like a dumb complaint, but maybe MICK needs to light up a blunt and down a few cocktails before he goes to work, just like the old days!  :weed :booze :warhorse :keithpunky

It's definitely "sharper", the guitars really slash on that one, not sure who's playing it, Mick or Keith ? The radio/video version has a cool "jungle" feel to it though with that swampy lead rythm by Mick (most likely) and the relentless drums.

ROUGH JUSTICE BLOWS THE DOORS OFF THIS SONG. SEVEN YEARS AND THIS IS IT? I AM GRATEFUL WE ARE GETTING ANYTHING AT THIS POINT,JUST DISAPPOINTED.

I said the same thing today to a friend.
As well as ONNYA...

ONNYA was probably a better song, as in having an actual melody, unfortunately the recorded version is weak, the PC version was more promising. Given the same production attention as D&G it would certainly have been more memorable.

Great song!  

Radio Edit and Deluxe versions are definitely mixed differently...I think I like the Deluxe version better...at least from the 1;30 minute clips on iTunes

What's the other song they did? is that not released yet? Doom & Gloom is the best thing Mick & Keith have done in years, now if they could only do a whole album, they got it in them going by this song.

Well apart from the other new one (One Last Shot) it's the only thing  they've done in years  [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif].                                                

Re the song itself it's...ok - not brilliant. A bit formulaic (the verses remind me of Highwire )

NO, I DIDNT ,I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT ABB AND STILL DO.

Michael claimed it was a quickie to make. It's a hugely nuanced and gorgeous single from the jumping masters.

Gawd knows what must be going on in Pari', but all - by this account - seem chipper, rootsy, comedic, dirty, explosive, gay and rather quintessential.

Is it inappropriate to wear knickers with a tonguey-gorilla thereon?  The jury's still out, lingerie-wise, but bottoms in this household are more than thoroughly enjoying the 2012 Stains.

Any Stones is better than none.

Its not all Gloom and Doom!

might have a million views soon. going viral?

whoop 'em Jagger style...

A million views already? Are they cooking the numbers? It was 825K this morning.

Okay, I have given it the requisite number of listenings now.

I don't think it is anything ground breaking, but it sure has that classic Stonesy groove.

And it's good to hear Jagger singing a lil' sloppy instead of sounding like a Rosetta Stone CD.

Seems to me that it is the naturally groovy song they were trying to find for ABB but never quite found.  
Sorta like Driving Too Fast, but less forced.

I'd give it a solid A.  

I will be reevaluating possibly within the next hour. :booze :weed

Put it this way when I woke up today I didn't have to rush to the iPad and have another listen.  In fact it was mid- morning before I remembered to give it another spin. Ambivalence in spades.

I wish they would go out like they came in.  Blues.

I DONT GET THE DRUMS,SG.
I NEED TO HEAR IT IN MY CAR CUZ THE DRUMS SOUND PEDANTIC ON MY COMPUTER.

It's shirley the blues, 72Tele. Pasty-faced and silly as sin, but definitely the blues, in my hairs on the nape of the neck of the woods.

The most important question, perhaps - or maybe the least - is:  what is said after the guffaws/chuckle-ohs at the end of Doom & Gloom, after CW's end-tingles?

50 Years, of course, is a mere trifle as far as these crazy beautiful tw*ts are concerned.

Gloom and Doom is edgy and hefty...also "Swampy" as someone put it. I gotta say, it's a curve-ball more over from what we expected.


Jagger sings about zombies, and for some reason it has a kina sinister, heavy groove that conveys a sort of zombism somehow. Don't know why... it just has a stark darkness to the song that could convey the likes of Armageddon and Zombies ...which is what the guy sings about. It rocks. ...and a little something nobody mentioned is ....it's .... "fun". As Gazza said, it kinda makes you wanna dance around with your hog hanging out or something... as silly and ridiculous as that sounds. Certainly not "fun-happy", not "fun-light", it just has a fun way about it without it being a-typical, because "a-typical" ..it is not.

Perfect song for the season and it goes right in line with current affairs.


I commented that I had hoped we didn't get any sort of standard, generic Stones rocker. We needed something different... with edge, something even unconventional (some might argue for the most part it's basic Stones but to me it's mostly unconventional besides the actual chorus... The melody, production, breaks...very different), yet still Stones.. and still rock.


We got it. Very well done lads. At first I was not sure... but now I think it has hit the mark as we wanted.




Ian

It would be the ideal opener for a show. After so long, and knowing this is probably the last time, they could just come out and wave to the crowd for 5 minutes. So, to at least play something new, this would be a great opener. And means it go down like a lead balloon at song number 3 or so.

Good point and it would show they have a bit of faith in the new material...

Just listened to the iTunes version again, it rocks !

Exactly! And they can have an inflateable gorilla too. Who cares? It gets it all out the way, and Gloom is a decent rocker too. I'm quite pleased with the amount of positive coverage they are getting. It's a good replacement for a 2nd string song like you got me rocking. And plundered my soul (though maybe in my opinion a bit too much like tumbling dice) could replace something like miss you.

Another good point, very good reviews overall indeed, when is the last time that happened?

almost 1.5 million views! whats up with that?

I can sing it in my head, when not listening, and it is good... so fuck if this ain't a great sign...
My first Stones sing along was Bith way back when I was just out of diapers... do the math, almost 40 years for me, and they were pumping out tunes for years already...
If you don't like it, don't bitch, just move on... This shit will never, ever, never fucking ever happen for any other band!!!
And the bands who are in the running, do not hold a candle to even the limited output we have seen in the 2000's!!!
The few contemporaries left, are either solo artists like Dylan or Aerosmith... c'mon!!! Aerosmith!!!
Sorry to slag on them, but my ppint is, I'm a happy Stones fan... always was I guess... just reminded when I hear a song that gets stuck in my head, makes me want to listen to Don't Stop again... dig up ABB and play some of it... think maybe they will play live and my friends may go... fuck yea!!! Wake up people... Don't hate, celebrate!!!

PDOG, YOUR SENTIMENTS ARE WELL STATED AND APPRECIATED.
BUT IF YOU ARE COMPARING WHAT BOB DYLAN & THE STONES HAVE DONE SINCE 1997,YOU ARE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.DYLAN HAS RELEASED 5 OF THE MOST COMPELLING RECORDS OF HIS CAREER.
THE STONES HAVE RELEASED 2 GRRREATEST RECORDS AND 2 GOOD RECORDS AND RIPPED OFF FANS AT ALMOST EVERY TURN.
I'M NOT A STEPFORD AND NEVER WILL BE.

I'm hearing there is a better version out there than the you tube version, is this true? Can someone post that? Will the cd version be better?

The new songs since 2002 like Gloom continue to make me appreciate what a fine album Bridges to Babylon turned out to be.

And that's either Ron Wood or a dead Jimmy Miller on drums for Gloom and Doom.

Last night I played it for SS, who you may recall has a hyper-active bullshit detector,  and he gave it a thumbs-up.

 :willya

After having read all of you , i think that new stones is a low Cost  one !
Most of people who don't know anything about the rolling stones say it's a good one , because they cook it well , a little bit of open G guitar , a meowing Jagger , a boring Charlie playing , ron as he is,and some studios bank of sounds , and the track is in the box .
This track is a Gimmick
I'm sure they can be better and certainly on stage , we will see it soon  :willya

Great song but the solo was very weak. Missed opportunity for an awesome Mick Taylor solo which could've taken it to another level.

Don't over-analyze it. It's a bunch of 70 year olds who have gone to hell and back rocking out hard and loud. This is the shit legends are made of.

I agree.  They fucked up naming the new release GRRR, imagine if the first song in 7 years was something equally as cringe-worthy.  Or worse yet, Keith was nowhere to be found.

This a a good song.
Catchy Keith riffs, damn fine Jagger vocals, groovy, dancable yet not soft....
Gotta say I am liking it more on every listen.
And it is nice to see they are getting great reactions from casual fans and mutants.

I'm a mutant.
And proud of it...

Ok.....Friday night we usually party round my bar.

The i tunes version IS the 'Grrr!' CD version.

And yes, it is - IMO - better than the 'radio edit' (ie, You Tube) version.  Keith is certainly more prominent in the mix. Charlie too.

Hey, go easy, I know Joe Perry's family, they live 1 town ovah from me.
We got them to play at our HS in '74, it's still talked about.  We also had Springsteen play at our college in '72
Not bad for a town of 9,000 people back then
"Smith have paid homage to the blues masters, Zep, Yardbirds.
They are gods here in PROM.
Surviving drug addicts, still selling out arenas.
Plus they give back to the community major league.
Toxic Twins Rule!

Very good song, though not great.  I'd give it a B, and it might grow to a B+ over time, we'll see.  The riff is very good and Jagger's voice is solid.  Charlie is great.  The lyrics are good in spots and hackneyed in other spots, especially the chorus parts.  Hurt/dirt, seeing her face through the night, wanting to dance - that's not original at all and I don't really see it fitting with the verses.  If it wasn't for the chorus parts this could have been special.

News Stones is of interest to many people. Still wish there was a new album. I miss the high of getting a new album on the first day.

Well this unexpected success might encourage them to slap an album together for early next year...a short 10 song effort, only 8 to go, 16 days and that's it.

Not sure they can sustain interest for a full album though...What worked here I think is that they didn't lose interest only having to focus for 4 days.

I'm ready for One More Shot now! Make it happen.

Unless you have inside info Gazza, I don't agree. Mick has always been adamant that the lifeblood of the Stones has been creating new music. I know the output is seriously down but I still suspect they will make records or record songs as long as they physically can. Also, watch the Charlie Rose interview when he says his songwriting partnership with Keith will always endure. I just think that deep deep down (very deep, I know) they love the whole process of getting together and doing it. There are serious personal issues that seemed to have never died between him and Keith and I think Life was a lot more serious than people think, but I think they will eventually call each other up and play in a studio. What I think is dead for sure are the big tours. No surprise for anyone there but I will miss that just as much because it was always incredibly exciting to go to different places around the world and see your favorite band.
