Ok, let me start with the disclaimer. I am a huge Stones fan (why else would I be on this site), I own all of their official releases, many of their unofficial releases, I have seen them numerous times, and I play guitar in a band that covers Rolling Stones songs (and others).
If GRRR! is a joke I will laugh my ass off, unfortunately I highly doubt that it is. What it is is another lame attempt by a once great band to wrest $ from my wallet. Let's count them off:
Big Hits (High Tide & Green Grass) - 1966
Big Hits Vol. II (Through The Past Darkly) - 1969
Hot Rocks - 1972
More Hot Rocks -1972
Made In The Shade - 1975
Rewind - 1984
Jump Back - 1993
40 Licks - 2002
I know they're "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world", but 8 greatest hits albums (granted both Hot Rocks were released by ABKCO after the split), soon to be 9 if this is real? What about cracking open the vaults on all the unreleased material? If you're going to f*#k me at least kiss me!
You missed another one :
Sucking in the Seventies - 1981

I'll tell them what they should do....
Any fking thing they want to do...
And if I like it... then I'll buy it, if not... then I wont.
But one thing I guarantee I wont be doing is bitching and whining about it.

No, you will just bitch and whine (repeatedly) about all the bitching and whineing. And guess what: It's just as tiresome!

You seem to yawn a lot. Maybe get some sleep.

Yeah... I wasnt sure, but I thought you would probably be "one of those types" who get all emotional and personal and starts calling people names.... and then tells them what to do... oh well.
It must suck getting called out in front of everyone and having nothing to say in response but "yawn".Quote

Only two days and already 20 pages full of reactions on THE news ... Yes, they did it again! Good or bad ... the world knows we're still around.
Even on the "teletekst" it was announced that the Stones were going to release a "greatest hits" album. I can't recall this to have ever happened before ... it's only a(nother) "greatest hits" collection for goodness sake.
Love your Stones for what they are: UNIQUE and a precious gift to the real fan!
Yeah the blimp ride, press conference televised worldwide by satellite and simultaneous announcement of Forty Licks got NO media coverage at all!

Really can't believe some of the comments I'm reading here. Are here adults posting? Some act like spoilt, disappointed children.
Really what did you expect from a group of 70 year old men?
It should be clear that there has to be a new compilation this year for the people.
I mean the hard-cores get/got some nice stuff as well.
And the cover/title is not so bad - in the style of Made in the Shade,etc.
So really . .
i am honestly perplexed as to the people on here who are defending their laziness and apathy...
if you guys want to be fools and line their pockets for retread crap then that's your problem...you are probably diehard compilation fans anyway...
but for the most part...the people on here complaining are the ones who are on here all the time through the years when NOTHING is going on and who are loyal to these lazy bastards through thick and thin...even when that drunk fell out of the tree...
granted...they don't owe anyone anything...but on the other hand they shouldn't act like they are going to deliver something of relevance and then do not...or can't get it hard...tiny todger or not...
yeah great they put out archive releases... BUT we all had that stuff...albiet it in not as good quality...but chances are they probably got a lick off of the old boots we bought anyway...so it's just more money...
AGE IS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS....
there are tons of guys and bands from their generation that still play on a regular basis and make LP's and everything...hell like i said earlier...Ian Hunter put out a new LP yesterday...he is 73...and all he talks about is still trying to be relevant and not going out and going through the motions...because it still means something to him
this is plain and simple apathy...and being lazy...and riding the wave...and not caring about their fanbase...

Well... maybe ole Mick is as smart as we (some of us) give him credit for... if/when groups attract the teenage girls (and their never ending flow of Mom and Dad's money) then they hit the jack pot... and The Stones probably wont do that by putting their faces on the cover.

It's the "'Angry Birds' t-shirts tey all have been getting....except this one 'GRRR" would be very cool, apparently.
Look, I'm an old fart parent and I didn't care much for the cover at first but it's exactly the kind of thing that will attract a younger audience. This is what this release is about and I think that's great. We have had our fill of amazing releases the last couple of years...and we'll surely get more in the future. It's already been said...this release isn't for us....and there is nothing wrong with that. From a teenagers eyes...the cover...it's COOL!

Absolutely! You can bet that this was looked at from every possible angle. Pure marketing genius. A slick way to win over a whole new generation to the Mighty Stones. My 11 year old niece wants one too!
But ...But..... Just look at that bad Gorilla!!!! I wouldnt want that frisky monkey looking at my teenage daughters with those lustful eyes... Heavens-to-Betsy, just look at his eyes!!! He only wants one thing.... and look at that tongue!!... AND THOSE TEETH!! (They are like a "Twilight" vampires teeth!!).... Young girls must stay away from that bad Gorilla... He is forbidden... tell them.... "you will NOT have anything to do with that bad Gorilla!!"Quote

Not to mention the subliminal aspect of the King Kong like gorilla. King Kong rules the jungle. The Stones rule the jungle of rock 'n roll. Brilliant!
