At the first listen yesterday I was surprised and thought that LIAGT is definitely better than anything I would have expected from the Stones. I liked it. Now, a day and quite a few listens later I actually love it! I really liked Doom and Gloom but I think this is even better.
During the first listen today I actually got goosebumps during several parts of the song, especially when Mick's harp comes on. My body reacting to it like it usually only does during concerts, so I think it must be a really good song that resonates with me. I thought well, if I got goosebumps this time it probably won't happen again during the second time I listen to it in the day... I was wrong!
I would love to see them play this live.
Yesterday during lunch I casually told my wife that I'm happy because the Stones released a new song. She absolutely hates the Stones but I played it to her and she said something like "oh this is actually nice, I'm going to download this" - so if someone as anti-Stones as my wife likes it I think it might have a chance of getting quite a bit of success even with non-Stones fans.
For reference, the only other Stones song that my wife finds bearable is Miss You.
I forgot to add.... I also told my colleague that the Stones have anew song. She is a big U2 fan, doesn't particularly know the Stones. She loved it. Said she liked the bluesy feel.

Well, now we know it's a proper Stones song. It's got an incomprehensible-to-outsiders acronym. Congratulations ohotos on being the first to type... LIAGT!

I would have sworn Keith say "great minds think alike" in his video snippet yesterday but can't find it now, or was it in a post ?

It was here: [www.RollingStone.com] .

I wouldn't mind an album with ten songs of the same caliber.

I can't believe I was actually the first one to type it, haha

Edit: I just checked and I think the honour of using LIAGT first goes to peoplewitheyes in the new album thread.

Relevant because opportunist.

Yawn...you are a clairvoyant...you knew it all before. Yawn...

you can yawn and be blind, that's the reality. Yes, it is an opportunistic decision during this unprecedented period to make business and occupy the media field. And it is successful.

Starts talking about the changes around the 1:00 minute mark.

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.

He literally says he made some changes in a few interviews.
You can literally see him in isolation mode singing the revised lyrics off of an iPad,
But yeah, grain of salt.

I really really like it! Been listening to it a lot today. I find it a continuation of the NYC feel. If SG was NYC for the 70's, and BTB was NYC for the 90's, I think LIAGT is very much the feel and groove of NYC in the 20's!!! A very modern groove that does harken back to some of those NYC-esque predecessors. Do I dig it as much as I did Rough Justice when I first heard that? No, but for me, it is definitely better than Doom & Gloom, which I have never liked. I do love One More Shot, though, and I might be in the minority on that one!!!

It´s good to see the Stones are together and alive but I rather play the whole Crosseyed Heart album than this one song.

Then do that.

Have heard it only once.

But it has passed The old grey whistle test'. So will be a (big) hit I think.

Not groundbreaking, but will break them to new age.

Charlie hasn't added anything to his style 'repertoire' since the eighties, and he's Nealy eight so we wouldn't expect it. But his very simple style does characterise this song and it would be card to find any other drummer these days who could, or would, use his earthy, human, direct KISS technique.

Hello Bestial being and Paulish boy.

From a once mutual riparine and coastal city.

Not the most favourable review from the NME

but it does conjure up some funny images:

''“Feel like a ghost / Living in a ghost town,” he complains, strutting along palatial hallways to make his own bloody sandwich, ''

Doesn’t one unit sale equate to about 1,500 streams? That’s a lot of streaming. I’ve downloaded the single from iTunes. Streaming is a bit beyond my know-how.

There are 2 versions around (sorry if someone found out before):

official audio version with the whole lyrics (4:08)




shorter official video version
without these verses (3.59):
PREACHERS WERE ALL PREACHING
CHARITIES BESEECHING
POLITITIANS DEALING
THIEVES WERE HAPPY STEALING
WIDOWS WERE ALL WEEPING
THERES NO BEDS FOR US TO SLEEP IN
ALWAYS HAD THE FEELING
IT WOULD ALL COME TUMBLING DOWN

--> this part is in version 1 and lifts up
the second part of the song again,
what I like better
