Well done, Stones. Like the groove, and the video is sharp. A silver lining of these effed up times is that artists are being motivated to create something new. Would love to see more of this both from the glimmers and their contemporaries.
It does seem odd that Chuck Leavell wasn’t involved as he is the band’s musical director. Guess he was off doing something else and Matt covered the keyboard parts.
Cool that we heard of it here first. Much respect to Deathgod.
Keep it up, boys!

It's a fine effort and very topical, enhanced by a few recent changes to the lyrics
Great to see them making new music in the 58th year of their existence.

Mick is way into it, while Ronnie is actively clowning around...meanwhile Keith is just there similar to the pre-recorded performance the other night.
But again , that's just my opinion and it's not a big deal! Enjoy the tune for crying out loud!!! It's a goddamn Ghost Town!!!

What changes? It was finished in 2019.
“It wasn’t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things,” he said. “It was written about being in a place which was full of life but is now bereft of life so to speak…I was just jamming on the guitar and wrote it really quickly in like 10 minutes.”

The one bit of good Stones news in the middle of all this, however,
is that Jagger and Richards have plenty of extra time on their hands now.
“We’ve got another five or six tracks and there’s a lot of sort of soul
feel about it for some reason without anybody intending to,” Richards said. “Obviously right now we’ve got nothing else to do but write some more songs, right?”

Have to take what he says with a few grains of tequila salt. Knowing how the Stones work, there's no way he recorded new vocals within the past few weeks and they got it done.

In making comparisons, my first thought when I heard it was that it had a Black & Blue feel about it.
Played the video for my wife when she got home, and her first thoughts where that it reminded her of the Super Heavy- Miracle Worker sound and video.
Kinda does, with the street scenes and reggae vibe.

After 18 pages I guess everything has been said by now. I’ll join the people who were saying “I like it!”

My brother mentioned that, lyrically, it bears a resemblance to Rocks by Primal Scream... Oh the irony!

Good song. Reminiscent of the Specials' Ghost Town. Did they mean to? Sorry if someone already noticed it.
Yes, I expressed exactly the same sentiments earlier. At least it's not just me, then!
Sorry to repeat you. It was already 14 pages in and I just heard the song.
