Here's one for the ultrafans: have the band ever released a single that has not been played live on a subsequent tour?
Well, they tried "Wild Horses" a few times, but it didn't stick....I'm still waiting to hear those versions!
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" comes to mind.
Sex Drive? Highwire?

Kelly Clarkson's newest single was #1 on Itunes for 5 days last week (Friday/Tuesday) and ended up at #86 on the new Billboard Hot 100.
That's the importance of streaming these days, without it any song will struggle to chart at all even beeing #1 on Itunes during days.

I can't stand the phrase "sprinkle some fairy dust" and if memory serves, that is just because of this site here

Nice song, fits with the times.
Misses a killer solo ala Mick Taylor
Misses the feeling that the musicians are playing to the drummer and not to a click track.
Misses the sound of a band playing live and then overdubbing the parts vocals
i do like it, its current, some of the production is nice (some very subtle pushes), great vocal (not keen on autotune but whatever i can deal with it), great harmonica.
doesnt sound organic, i like the stones when they're recorded organic, not to a click track. all the creases get ironed out. i like to see creases, warts and imperfection, inflections.
But its still a good tune that needed the band elevating it, rather than playing along to it

A good way to describe it. In a way it sounds like a Stones song coming out of a cann. Not bad for the old fellows. Easily a whatever post- '78 filler.

As the dust is beginning to settle, I'm still loving this track, and at this pont it would be impossible and wishy washy to all of the sudden say it's lost it's charm, or has no staying power, or it's not as good as I initially thought. It's been ingrained in my brain and it's a keeper no doubt, and I'm sort of surprised with myself for not having more of a critical point of view on the tune. Simply put, while it's not up there with their all time greatest original tracks (not sure how anyone would expect that), for me it's up there with their greatest originals from the last 35 years or so. In fact, I might even put it in the "Top 5 since '85" category, though "Top 10 since then" would probably be more realistic. And while I think Keith's Crosseyed Heart album as a whole is much more of an everlasting gift, there's no doubt this new tune is apprx. ten times better (give or take) than Doom and Gloom, One More Shot, Getta Grip/England Lost (and all of their lame remixes), Alfie soundtrack, and Superheavy combined - but maybe that's just me. Happy Mick and Keith picked a nice one to finish off and release, and am looking forward to the remixes - hopefully there's will be several of them. And with any luck, maybe they'll release another new and original tune before the decades over.

I always had a bad relationship with vocals in general. It’s a sort of mental block. I have some general knowledge of music, but don’t understand singing, not even the basics. I can normally say if an instrument is out of tune, playing the wrong note or has a bad timing, but vocals are Arab to me!. If I had to sing lead to save my life, I would be dead!
All this to say, can one be so kind to explain where the auto tune part starts, and how do you recognize it?
Thank you!

Start with the bridge, particularly toward the end. Then check out when Mick sings the word "lose" on a different place in the song.
I’m embarrassed for my dumbness, but what should I hear?

1:48... 'So much time to lose', 'creep in my bed', sounds like he's singing in a bubble.

I guess the litmus test is which song in the touring set would I be willing to give up to get this one in...
JJF, No
SFTD, No
MR, No
BS, No
GS, No
And so on.
Next question, would it win a fan vote for a show? Pick from...
UMT
Bitch
Monkey Man
or Living in a Ghost Town
I doubt it wins the poll, even if it were more familiar.
So, it's a nice tune, some catchy stuff. Love Charlie's sound, well produced.
It's great to get a new Stones tune, but if I've got a 19 live set song set, I'll vote for Monkey Man and be grateful for the warhorses.
Think you nailed it there. I'd add - will this song have a shelf life to make it durable enough to survive until touring, possibly, recommences?
Here's one for the ultrafans: have the band ever released a single that has not been played live on a subsequent tour?
I haven't investigated this but my gut feeling says that there must be a number of singles that never got played live.
As for the warhorses, I'd be willing to give up any of them, just to hear them play Living In A Ghost Town, or any other tune that never gets played. Just for the sake of it anyway.

Is the CD single really "limited edition" as it states on rs.com? I was about to pull the trigger on it when I saw it was $6, which is kinda high...but I'm a sucker for the Stones.....but then after shipping and taxes it's $18!
Whaaaaat?
But if it's the only way to get it (limited edition) and not Amazon or other such places then maybe hence the high price.

Looked at it. No track listing. Besides, based on a majority of things I've read over the past few years, why would anyone order anything from rollingstones.com?
