Tell Me :
Talk
Of course. Maybe it's the same as with a couple of tunes from ABB that I quite liked instantly, but "forgot" to play them as the years went by...
I also liked ABB a little bit, the very first time, then I liked it way less the 2nd time, and after the 3rd time.....I'd had more than enough, there was nothing there; like if I was fooled the first time
Some albums and songs grow on the listener, some does the opposite.
Gloom & Doom started on scratch though, as I'm familiar with this "style" from ABB and Goddess in the Doorway allready. If I haven't heard those 2 albums, they might have "fooled me" with this Gloom & Doom.....untill I listened again, I mean!
It's better than Driving Too Fast (which I like as well)
Pretty close to my intial observations too. Some spice on the arrangement, a neat twist on the middle-eight, or some more texture could have really made this one a great Stones rocker. Still, my expectations were rather low so I'm happy for the moment. I think people are right in saying this won't really stand the test of time, but I'd rate it a notch above Rough Justice and probably over Flip The Switch, which is pretty darn good for 2012.
Oh yeah... 20th Century Boy is in there OK.
The radio mix has more chance of being a chart hit though.
I really like the radio mix, the under beat is being slightly doubled in parts and I think it moves (like Jagger).

Don't you hear the resemblance to "Everybody's Getting High" from "Dogshit in the Doorway?". Sounds like a Jagger solo tune, especially with the drum machine sound. Why is Mick playing the intro, not Keith? Don't like that song, it's boring, lame.
Don't need GRRR!, the tour and all the doom gloom.

The iTunes version is a lot less "muddy", I don't particularly care for the "Hard Rock" guitar fills though, is that really Ronnie ?
The Radio/Video version is more fun and unexpected though.

I have listened to it a num,ber of times now, when it was first played on the radio this morning it really hit me, wow a real rocker , just what The Stones are. Love the drums and everything about it, I think it is the best they have done for a long long time.
What I really can't get my head round is all the pulling it apart from a number of people, Yes I know it is a forum and we can discuss ect ect but over the years I come on here and get very dissilusioned with all the critasising. Sad to say I come on here less and less as I don't think there are many people left who are real fans.

It doesn't do anything for me at all. Not to be negative but that's the way it is. It's as cheap as Rough Justice and ONNYA for me, but, to each his own

Frankly, I'm relieved.
The song is pretty good, and will be a stand out in concert I think.

Nicely played but a standard progression in the vein of "Takin' Care of Business" (BTO), "Rock n Roll" (Velvet Underground), and "Sympathy for the Devil" (forgot the band). At least they still rock.

Like it. Don't love it. I would rather hear some good heartfelt blues/country stuff, something akin to the Somne Girls outtakes disc, but that probably wouldnt make much sense in the context of Grrr. Still, ther are a few moments in this that hit the mark. I think this sums it up nicely:

A "Driving Too Fast" outtake. Mick should have learned from Bruce Springsteen that people are tired of "political" messages about the 99% vs. the 1%. Mick IS a ONE PERCENTER. But, what the hell, IT"S THE STONES - enjoy it.

Not heard the Grrr version, but from what i hear on the radio it's better than any of the upbeat numbers on ABB.
It's pretty evident Mick is driving the band these days though, which is not a bad thing, it's refreshing to hear them (him) embrace different production techniques (drums).
The Grrr album cover.
The new track.
Each surprised me in the first instance - after 50 years it's great they can still
do that.

It's a solid track in the vein of "High Wire". I hear everyone on this,
and LOVE that there's a strong football stadium stomp to it. Pick it apart,
"is it Charlie or is it Memorex?" is pointless ... we know they've used drum
machines before in a very deliberate way, here it's up front in the mix but
comes off organically ... note the "organic" handclapping which was NOT the
form or norm in The '80s when even John Fogerty, JOHN FOGERTY!!!, stooped
to using fake clapping on "Centerfield".
Net: "D+G" may not be "Jumpin' Jack Flash", but it's strong stuff, a rocker
as good if not better than "Rough Justice", which sounded fantastic with Wood
putting on a good slide performance, if not sounding as if a Stones / Faces
collaboration outright. This is one of the most aggressive rhythm performances
they've ever produced. Drums, front and center!
( As I hoped, Charlie owns this one. ABOUT TIME. Go Charlie!!! )
PS: A new geetar sound is in thar ... dunno who, possibly Keith? Kinda reminds me
of MT's noodling on "If You Can't Rock Me". Look here, they didn't go techno or whatever
crap trend is out there, they stuck to the Stones playbook.
It rocks. It rolls. It's The Rollin' Stones, man!
Pretty close to my intial observations too. Some spice on the arrangement, a neat twist on the middle-eight, or some more texture could have really made this one a great Stones rocker. Still, my expectations were rather low so I'm happy for the moment.

Not a fan of the production.
I think I hear a T.Rex riff in there.

Mediocre song and: of course, Jagger is in there, but who's playing the instruments? That isn't Stones guitar style, it sounds more like Jagger + ZZ Top in the background (the lousy ZZ in the nineties with drum computer, not the great ones) ... a further disappointment, I think the end is near, the last shot will be a last squib load I think.

the iTunes version is quite another song! more stonesy, less jaggerish. keith guitar, more prominent, as well the slide part give the song a completely different feel and sound. and charlie is ... charlie not a drum machine. I like it more.

Ah Go on, much better than I thought. Lyrics are a bit simple but standings up to YGMRN as a very good foot stomper. Mick sounds great, Keith simple but catchy riff.
Ah they've still got it!
