that lyric video is fun to watch

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?

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

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”?

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.

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 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!

So far is 42,579 surely more as the count is not updated in real time, btw... that means 42,579 different users as is only one count per IP

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

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.

It sounds like the reggae version of Start Me Up.It´s the classic Stones riff.It´s OK not bad.We´ve been talking about Keith´s poor/average playing in recent years but this song proves Mick has lost his touch too.
