The video is okay I guess. Reminded me of a couple of girls I met when I was young. They're usually in their third abortion by age 20.
Mick (who called the shots on this one) would take it as a compliment as 20 yo girls (with or without abortions) are his target (from a marketing pov).
We the menopausal/andropausol IORR crowd are exactly the people he doesn't want to target. Mick wants young people at his shows hence this trendy vid.

To my ears "Criss Cross" embodies the creative bankrupt they where dealing with at the time. Everybody does his job on an ok level or on the automatic pilot if you wish. Filler at best.
Creative Bankruptcy? Great songs like 100 Years Ago,Angie,Heartbreaker,Fingerprint File, Time. waits for No One,Winter , Silver Train.Bob Dylan said Angie is a song he wished he’d written.Quote

Better filler than anything from 1986 onward.
Is it "walking around with a razor, she want to you use it every day?"

Maybe I should express myself more precise: The songs you mention ar all great. "Criss Cross" just sounds very bored to me, like ok guys, we haven't got any better.

To me it's unique and exhilirating and the band is firing on all cylinders really. But it sort of slogs along aimlessly after a certain point and there's no real conclusion.

Their next single will be Scarlet, the song has potential to be a great marketing tool for the re-issue, we can expect a video, physical single too.

I would like a single of Scarlet b/w Criss Cross. And a unique picture sleeve please. Would prefer 7" but 10" or 12" would be good too.
But Rod up there brought up an interesting potential issue: do you mean to tell me the RS have been circulating a censored version of Star Star these past years/decades? I believe I had heard that before but did not know if it had superceded the original version. I take it it is the "f*cker" part that is censored out, or is it the talking about various real life people? If it is not the original vocals, unaltered, then that would be a real travesty, and I had not even thought of that angle, or that song to tell the truth. It was pretty bold, back then, but I thought now every third grader uses the term.
What has the world come to, I ask you.

Turd On The Run lacks a decent guitar solo.
Rocks Off lacks a decent guitar solo.
Rip This Joint lacks a decent guitar solo.
Casino Boogie lacks a decent guitar solo.
It seems that Criss Cross is the Stones doing the Stones at that point. It's a great idea. It moves. It has a great sound. Yeah, it loses focus. But at this point - so what!!!??
Casino Boogie and Rocks Off have great solos by Taylor on the outroQuote

A matter of taste perhaps. There are good songs and mediocre ones. Charlie and Bill provide a beat that reminds me of some early live versions of Bitch. Apart from that the only thing that is going on is Preston and open G G sus4.G open G sus4.G open G Gsus4. open G Gsus4. etc etc, and a monotonus vocal line.The videoclip on youtube with these 16 year old girls give compensation for that of course. Stones promo at its cheapest. Summertime you know. Have a pill and dance on it.

Why should he target us - he already has gotten us a long time ago... We once were his target audience...
Seriously, it looks like that he get fed up with the memory line he took with "Plundered My Soul" and "No Spare Parts" and thought that's enough of circulating old footage. Now something different.
