How do I feel about the “hot chick” bit for the Angry video? So clichéd! Been there done that. So many times. So obsolete.
This is 2023. Not 1972. They are now seventy and eighty-something. I wish the boys moved on.
But that’s the Stones for you, after all.

Not quite 60 yet myself, so I guess I'm not yet bored with looking at hot women. How many years left !!

11 Million views on YouTube, what is everyone seeing on Spotify for number of streams? I see about 257K but it doesn't look like my desktop Spotify is updating so maybe it's way higher.
I see 719k
It is, so first full day with around 450k streams. Much lower than expected (you need 1m+ to be on top 200). So YT and iTunes is doing great but generation Z have not really picked it up. Also, their all time monthly listeners is not reached yet either, but probably will by tomorrow. But still millions behind likes of Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, Queen, Elton John, AC/DC etc who all have had revivals in the last couple of years.

here's my (non political) two cents on the video "controversy"
i also didn't care for the woman dancing around the car
not in a this is sexist or objectifying sorta way but more it's a boring, tacky, uninspired cliche sorta way
let me ask this of the folks who liked the video and those that didn't for whatever reason
would you have prefered (as i would have) if the video starts with mick, keith, and ronnie getting in the car together, starting it, driving onto the road
then they turn on the radio and the new song starts to play they start to sing along while they pass the billboards looking at the clips of there younger selves
the music ends and mick (who's driving) pulls the car to the front of a theatre
they all get out grab there instruments out the car and walk into the theatre to chants of "we want the stones"
then the video ends
maybe it's not reinventing the wheel but i think it would have worked better that way
Better than Tattoo You and Bridges? Those are 2of my top 12 Stones albums.Quote

Is there a subscriber to The Times who can post their article that carries the headline ‘I’ve heard the new Stones album and it is their best since 1978’? I’m tantalised!
save your time. Article sounds wayyyy more interesting than it is.

also side note
there's a chance that mick may have one of his "political songs" on the new album and if we can't even handle a scantily clad woman dancing on a car without it disoulving into a ugly partisan fistfight
i shudder to think what will happen here if mick dares to express an opinion on a touchy political subject
can we please just strive to keep our politics off of iorr
it would be really nice if we could discuss the whole album and every song on it without bv having to close threads and forbid discussing certain songs like a couple years ago because we all starting behaving like impolsive children

I wonder whose idea it was to put overdrive on Keith's bass. This, I think, is what gives the bassline and also the whole instrumental a lot of character past the obvious Stones by the numbers riff. With my band in the studio, we sometimes use overdrive on the bass part to hide some inaccuracies, so that less editing needs to be done and it can sound intededly rough and raunchy.
But, at the same time, I don't think that Darryl would have been allowed to use such a fat overdrive tone, if he played on Angry. It really takes up a lot of space in the mix, just as much as the guitars. Can't say that about B&L...
