I think it's an internet word. You see it very often in twitter. It's used to express anger, annoyance, frustration.

"I just spilled coffee all over my blouse .... grrr!"

"We can't possibly tour Europe. 25% unemployment. No one has any money .... grrr!"

Bababooey?

Grrrrilla.

Where is Baboon Bro when we need him?

When first seeing the title, GRRR, I thought the cover would be something corny about "letting the tigers out of the cage" and that BS. Now I see it's just a monkey, even a happy monkey. I guess the tiger-thingy has been worn out by now

It may be just another way of saying: "Can I get your attention, please?"

And in that, they did succeed.

It's used to express anger, annoyance, frustration.

Isn't that what they've been expressing for 50 years? "I Can't Get No Satisfaction .... grrr!"

Okay. Here it is. I was a little off, but not that far off.

GRRR is roman numerals [twice removed;once returned;mostly forgotten].

I believe it means 51.

GRRR = 51

Wow, Munich. You nailed it.

Haha!

Nice "LI" (that's most definitely the worst inside-joke I've ever attempted).

We're all so old and out of touch here, no one knew what it meant. Funny. Of course, the people young and hip enough to know what it means, and for whom this album is intended, won't be interested in it, and they certainly won't be interested in going to any concerts.

"Thirteen hundred dollars for a Stones ticket? Grrr!"

Thats' the generally accepted roman numeral chart.
I refer to the long out of print master sheet of outtake numerals.

I don't disagree we're doddering old fools, but what the hell is there to understand? Who doesn't understand what GRRR means? I hate when people generalize like that. Grrr!

You? And you're dictionary pastings above "explains the album title" ? What you comes up with, above makes no sense for a RS album in 2012; they're not speakesmen of the unemplyed hungry angry people. It's 40 years ago since they were rebels. We all know what GRRR means - it's the sound of anger and frustration, but the point is; what RS is directing it upon. And probably, they're not directing the GRR at anyone, the title was probably made by some hip designer at Universal Music

You're all a bunch of old grannies. The answer is right in front of you...between Charlie's buttons and stuff.

Oh, I see! Apologize for poking fun, etc.

Must however say I'm not entirely satisfied with this explanation. It seems just too obvious. With that said, I'm heading off to my personal library. Can it have something to do with kabbalah? Numerology (but with letters instead of digits -- DUH!)? The mayan calendar?

Translate Grrr into Korean....it says 02.

Thats a sign

Maybe Universal Music asked Jagger what to use as a frontphoto. Jagger says: "for that lousy compilation? Who gives a toss? Just put a monkey on it for all I care. Our last session sucks monkey tits anyway". Then the title GRRR was added just because....what else can one can one think of that a monkey could say. THat's probably the whole story behind this.

I only had a clue because I've been following the twitterings of someone who is much younger and hipper than myself. You may be right about who came up with the title, but presumably they had to run it by Mick, and when they explained to him what it meant, he must have liked it. "Grrr!" sums up their entire career. It's everything they've ever had to "say", boiled down to a single "word".

It al fits in nicely with the current timespirit. We constantly complain about what we don't haven/didn't get and fear for our future. So there you have it... GGGR! and Gloom And Doom.

Concerning the artwork: In an earlier post on IORR someone claimed the picture of the guy with three balls in his mouth would have made a great album cover.... Well at least this one looks better than 40 licks which in my opinion is an album cover that shows ultimate lack of imagination.

The good news is: At least two new songs are coming our way.
