Classic already and only 5 years ago.

A classic already? The song or the "video"? It's a long way off from being a classic.

It's way better than those, imo, but not a classic.

Had they treated D&G like YGMR, it might have been closer to a classic, though.

I love it and also liked One More Shot!

Fact: Doom And Gloom is not a classic.

You mean if they had played it in concert consistently over the years?

I think Doom and Gloom is a great latter-day rocker, but they didn't push it hard enough to make it a classic.

If Doom And Gloom is a classic, Don't Stop is obviously a warhorse.

Yep.

I don't think Mick likes to sing it, though. Never once did he sing the chorus properly.

Yeah, it never really popped live...plus the drum beat had some studio trickery going on that Charlie didn't replicate and it hurt the groove.

I still think it's a damn fine studio track.

I am not one of those people who runs around claiming everything is brilliant but I really like England Lost. Gloom and Doom to me is just one more average Stones song from the last 25 years.

Doom and Gloom might have been a good song had it not been overproduced imo - maybe a stripped down acoustic bluesy version.
As it stands though, it's generic crap.

The stripped down album version was much poorer, imo.

The drive was sucked out of it, somehow..

I was talking about a fictional stripped down acoustic bluesy version though which might have been better. I really wouldn't consider the official version stripped down...sounds phony and overproduced .
I remember when it was released someone referred to it as slick '80s's ZZ Top with drum machines, etc. (Legs, Sharp Dressed Man, etc., etc.) As for live versions, maybe a step above, but still sort of a generic Stones rocker.

Haha ha ja ja.

I just really like the vocal meter of the verses...Mick's delivery of the lyrics is badass, and I dig the sampled back beat.

Don't Stop is such a vanilla song. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but unmemorable aside from the electric/acoustic mixing that Keith and Ronnie can do in their sleep nowadays.

Its alot better than all that 80's crap they made.

Don't get me started on Don't Stop keefriff99.

The only thing positive about that song was when played live Ronnie had the camera thing-a-ma-jiggy attached to the neck of his guitar.
Seems old fashioned now, but at the time it was cool to see on the big screens at the concerts. But no matter how many times I saw them play it, it was the absolute lowlight of every concert during Licks.
I enjoyed their cover of Love Train more than Don't Stop.

*I remember when it was first released (I think exclusively online...AOL maybe), and I played it for my older brother who was a huge Stones fan - he laughed in my face and walked away after the first minute.

Heh, I know.

Now that I think about it, I saw five Licks shows between '02-'03 and just double-checked...yep, they played it at EVERY show. I suppose I enjoyed it only because I was so insanely excited to be seeing the Stones so many times, but yeah, there's no doubt it was the nadir of every show I saw.

Looking at setlist.fm, they may very well have played it on EVERY show of the Licks tour (106 performances), and haven't revisited it since.

Looking at that link, one of those 106 was played by a cover band called Voodoo Lounge at a club in Germany in 2007 lol.
And without looking at every single setlist of the tour, I can say that it wasn't played at Stockholm Cirkus, Utrecht Vredenberg, and London Astoria in, and probably not at any of the other theater/club shows of the Licks tour.

This setlist fm link says there were a total of 116 shows in total - Licks - so I assume there were only 11 club/theater shows and 105 stadium and arena shows for all of Licks?

Ah, perfect. So they did skip 10-11 shows.

I did see that Voodoo Lounge cover...WTF??

What about Mick going "Ahhh don't stoppp! Honeeeeenaaaay don't stoppp!"

I just re-listened to that song earlier today for the first time in...god, at least 10-12 years, and was surprised at how unbelievably vanilla it is.

Doom and Gloom sounds like Jumpin' Jack Flash in comparison in my opinion.

What’s funnier is,

Not the song,

The "official" version would be the single, which is not stripped down. Not at all

The GRRR-version is, though. All the extra drums and beats are peeled off.

It sounded like you had forgotten about the album version when you were talking about a fictional stripped down version.
