starting to grow on me.

I like it as well!

At first I didn't like it but now I like it way better than Doom and Gloom!

Nope.. nope... The 'nah nah nah' part is horrifying. One More Shot starts off strong, then the chorus just stinks. The melody just doesn't go anywhere.

I have given it a fresh listen every day, including today. It has gotten worse. I HATE 'nah nah' 'mmm bop' 'la la la' crap in music. Its lazy songwriting and generally sounds like small children taunting some kid on recess. Just stupid.

Wish they had spent more than one day on it. A different chorus and removing the stupid nah nah nah junk would elevate the song bigtime.

On the plus, the sound mix is stellar! Great to hear them sounding solid. Would love to hear more Ronnie though. Charlie sounds killer.

Looking forward to hearing Doom & Gloom and One More Shot live.

To me, the only thing of value on this track is that it acts like a little status update on how well each of them sound today in 2012. Regardless of the song being very very lukewarm, each member sounds really great.

The track is great. Best Stones song since Beast of Burden. I'm worried that the song won't get any airplay. Maybe its best chance for some exposure is a Martin Scorsese film sound track.

Doom and Gloom sounded way better at first. One More Shot didn't sound good at first. Now I don't want to hear Doom and Gloom anymore. I'm not sure why. The riff is pretty good. I still like listening to One More shot. All those little parts and nuiances just kind of unfold I suppose.

I was in the Disk Union record store on my lunch break here in Tokyo, and they were playing Grrr. The two new tracks sounded amazing.

The two new tracks sounded amazing.....they are



ROCKMAN

Yes Rockman, I agree, two great tracks! Love 'em!

Maybe a little weak guitar-sound on 'One more shot', but yeah, a pretty good Stones-rocker....

2 1 2 0

The guitars do indeed sound a bit weak on the recording but that is completely fixed on the live version, Keith's guitar was roaring the other day, and the addition of a second "na na na na na na na", while not very inspired lyrically (to say the least) does give a better balance to the song, and it is Keith on backing vocals (I wasn't sure based on the recording).

I'm waiting for the disco-remix Mick's mix.

And the mix after that of course.

Dsiliked it at first, REALLY HATED IT IN FACT, but now, I really like it a lot.

I agree, based on what I could hear on the live rehearsal recording

All the songs recorded just to be added to their greatest hits are boring. For somes you can say at first,yeah,but after that these songs don't grow. Sound is louder and louder with the years. It is not negativity but reality. Only 2 songs recorded, this is a sign that their original creativity is over. 1 song is a Richards/Jordan song and keith doesn't sing it. 2 warm-up shows and none from Keith. I know their are old and it is normal that all things don't work very well. They gave a good present to fans at the rehearsals. Nothing premeditated. Not jealousy, I live in Paris and knew since the beginning where they were. I had my own experience with them in the past, very good memories. Waiting in the cold or the rain is not for me now, I did that so many times. It's over now. I understand younger people and I say good luck to them to meet their heroes. Old vinyls are playing on my turntable and that 's better than all their last productions.

Are you sure? Is that confirmed?

irregardless of which new tune you like, dislike, or like more than the other...on both Mick is singing unaffected and thats a good thing...

It's a Keith song. Keith songs are built on grooves rather than melodies. If you're not a Winos fan you're not going to like this one anyhow. Feel lucky it was not another ballad...

If I understood right the credition in GRRR! is 'Jagger/Richards/Jordan'. And someone 'in the know' said that it was one of the solo songs Keith had done earlier in the studio.

Thanks! Yeah, I saw the speculation, but haven't seen the GRRR-credits as yet.

Love the Winos. Love all of Keith's solo work actually. The chorus is just weak, and the nah nah nahs kill the song for me. It is embarassing. Starts off strong (Randy Whore from the Voodoo outtakes is the intro), and has a solid groove. Then the weak lyrics hit, and everything else..

But you are right... Atleast we avoided another Streets of Love!

One of the rare times something actually was premeditated: they thought of that before they did it. It certainly wasn't meditated right then and there.

Well, according to this it's not Jagger/Richards/Jordan.

Taken from the forthcoming album GRRR!, ‘One More Shot’ is a Jagger/Richards composition...

Nah nah nah

With the exception of "Last Dance with Mary Jane", you're correct about tracks added to greatest hits albums.

Age isn't an excuse to put out crappy music either - look at Dylan, Young, McCartney, Springsteen, even U2 (the Stones were already WELL into the Vegas era at the age that U2 is now). No, the Stones are a broken band, period.

Mick's muses these days are inconsistent, but he CERTAINLY isn't inspired by anything Keith has done since 1977 (which is why the bonus tracks on Exlie and Some Girls are SO MUCH better than these 2 new stinkers, A Bigger Bang, the 4 Licks, 3/4 of Bridges, etc.

Keith doesn't seem to have any muse at all. If Mick's input is spotty then Keith's is simply vacant and meaningless. He's not had anything 'amazing' since Thru and Thru, and nothing even listenable since 'Theif in the Night'. One Last Shot - sorry, there's way better music being released by other artists out there to care about it at all. It will be forgotten as quickly as the GRRR! complitation.

U2 is pure Vegas. Bono has been stinking for the last many years - nothing real there, just crawing for fame.
