This was no "interview", this was a promo show hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
And nothing wrong about that.

Interview, promo, whatever you want to call it, he had one job. And that was to not make any attempt to insert himself and just get the hell out of the way.
The Stones are the stars, among the biggest in the history of music. Their cultural and musical impact on the world may be studied 100 years from now. Fallon, by contrast, has had the same impact on the world as a bag of wet hair.
Mick choose Fallon because he knew he would not go off script, just like Matt Lauer never did. He was safe.
Fallon conflated that with thinking he was part of the band.

Just got off a plane and missed it live, so I'm catching up. Just now watched the Fallon thing. How did they pick the audience? Sure didn't seem like a roomful of diehard fans. Fallon had to encourage the audience to applaud. Then the guys walk out and most of the audience just sits there and claps politely. I'd have been up on my feet when the guys walked out.

Mick interview with Sky News:
Yeah, here again Mick refers to the sessions done years earlier with Charlie, and seemingly the results didn't meet his criteria being 'not just good, but great'. He seemingly has been serious about that. At least consistent.

I don’t understand the point of having this huge media blitz and then not releasing the album for 6 weeks.
I only watch a couple of seconds of the Fallon thing and that was enough. I don’t like Fallon and except for Jagger (who can be really funny at times ) I dint find the Stones funny at all. I have never heard the others say anything funny. Wood suffers from British humor. Trying to be funny makes you funny.
I think the single is the weakest first single they have ever released. Hope the rest of the album is better. The only good part of the song was the guitars solos at end. Don’t know why the entire song wasn’t built around those solos.

That whole bit was hilarious.
I'm no Fallon fanboy but he did a credible job and it was entertaining.
Some people posting here seem to have things that have crawled into their orifices that are making them uncomfortable enough to bitch on the day a new stones album and single are announced to great fanfare with a fabulous video.
Angry indeed.

What a shame.
This could be the last time the three Stones sit together for an interview, and the person conducting it is a buffoon like Jimmy Fallon?
Too bad he couldn't take a cue from the Tonight Show master, Johnny Carson.
The Stones are the stars. Jimmy Fallon is a hack. Not one person gives a damn about what Jimmy Fallon has to say. So ask your (lame) question and get the hell out of the way like Carson used to do.
This was like the Beatles sitting together for their final interview and it was conducted by Buddy Hackett.
