Yeah, I never knew they had so many drummers (and shapeshifting guitarists too ...)!
I guess the Keith throwing up his leg was not a digitally de-aged 82-year-old Keith ...

I completely agree with you there, Silver D!
Most here will also need AI to fit in this video.
I think they do too, it all sounds very AI generated. If you instruct AI to create a standard Rolling Stones video and song, you get In the Stars.
I think this is down to the production, i suspect it's been used before this, and before on others, explains how it helps artists after a dry spell, it all makes sense now. I mean compare this stuff to Crosseyed Heart thats organic, from the heart, it's the difference between night and day.
This new material becomes meaningless, anyone can do it.
If they make another album why would they need to pay a producer and hire studios.
For people that love this fresh vibrant modern sound and video it's a life line to them, there's plenty more where this comes from. But it's enjoyable so the attitude is who cares because we love everything they do beyond question, the fake interviews the whole illusion.
My argument is if you can have imitation Stones why do they need the Stones at all.

no it dosen't make sense
just because the new music doesn't sound like crosseyed heart dosen't mean they used ai to make it
you think keith signed off on releasing ai created music but wouldn't let mick release england lost/gotta get a grip on a stones album eight years ago?
and if you think ai can't generate music like what's on crosseyed heart your very wrong sadly

don't forget that watt wrote all of it and plays all the instruments auto tunes the vocals blah blah blah etc. etc.
no them hiring people who use a mix of ai and cgi effects on a few actors faces in a bad video with dozens of real life people in it doesn't somehow legitimize crackpot ideas like there using ai to make there music

I wonder if this and Angry's music video signals Mick softening on the nostalgia thing. He's getting older and maybe he's starting to think of the past more, maybe fondly even

If The Stones would have listened to all their 'expert' fans, they would have never been that great.
They've always explored the unexpected, the fun of it, the energy, some fooling around, but staying true to that typical Stones vibe. And they still do. Youth represents liveliness and. energy, as their music does. For me the video is surprisingly charming and lifts the song.

To me, the whole thing just feels a bit fake. Both the song and the video. Generic, AI, over-produced. Also, it would have been 10 times better if they appeared in the video themselves. Mick, Keith, Ronnie still looks great. When they had that comeback in 2012 with Doom and Gloom, they had a great video with themselves in actual appearance. I don't know what they feel the need to embrace AI in this video, because AI is everything opposite to The Rolling Stones.

It's just the Stones taking the piss out of the whole AI thing. As long as its a one-off then it's not only fun but worthy as a piece of self-deprecating commentary on the state of the music business's obsession with glamour, looks and youth.
I'd only be worried if they further went down this route but I'm pretty sure they won't.

The AI de-aging choice is interesting. Scorsese did that with the Irishman with Pesci, Pacino, and DeNiro. However, the cool thing about the Irishman was he actually used Pesci, Pacino, and DeNiro...
I don’t hate the overall concept, it’s fun and nostalgic, but without the Stones it just seems really generic. Maybe at the end they could’ve turned back into their current selves as a fun finish?
I guess I’m not getting a call back from casting for this video…
Do you know that the Stones didn't do their own parts and were de-aged afterwards? Or do you think the entire thing was fabricated from whole cloth?
I guess the Keith throwing up his leg was not a digitally de-aged 82-year-old Keith ...

It really is calculated and ultimately futile youthism. Georgelicks has clearly demonstrated here that the Stones’ audience is aging and hasn’t really been renewed (record sales, streaming platforms, concerts), unlike other bands (Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Queen, etc.)
The fan base is over 45, and I’m being polite. And the Stones are old.
Youth culture, yes. Because if it were just a nod to the past, to youth, tinged with (legitimate) nostalgia, their REAL faces would appear in the video.

I think they (well, Jagger) is preparing for an "Abbatar" situation. ABBA Voyage, in London, has been hugely successful and gained about 2 million pounds for the British economy (tourism).
After all rock and pop music is for young people not retired people. By doing this you can stay "forever young"and keep the money coming in...

Another opportunity: With AI you can have a new album released every year, including videos. You can also go on an AI tour every year. Kind of the 1972 tour on repeat.

I like it, more than the song itself, for me i enjoy it maybe because a blend my admiration for the band as much as the technology although I could do without the primary white guy dancer.
Could someone make a list of all other folks I am to recognize in the video, and and what time they are seen.
One of the guitar player looks like Bobby Keys.
Is that a brief shot of what is to be Brian's white sweater?
There is a split second shot of one of the guitar player that looks a lot like Jeff Beck.
Is there a Bill in the video?
Thanks.

I'd much prefer the video featuring the real Stones... if they insist on an AI version, at least get Keef looking like Keef!
The song itself is a real ear worm. I didn't like it when I first heard it, perhaps I'll feel the same about the video.

After releasing this video, I think it is legitimate to ask how much of the music is real and how much is AI. Until now I would never think I would ever ask myself this question about an official Rolling Stones' release. Now it is on the table.
The music can be genuine. It can be composed by AI and recorded by the musicians. It can be polished by AI. It can be fully generated by AI. We will actually never know.
The truth is disappearing. One can only believe the things he has personally witnessed, all the rest is uncertain and one can only choose what he will believe and what he won't. It is unfortunately also the case with any new music. And any movie, any book... And any letter, any e-mail and many other things, some way more important.

This is not a fully AI-generated video. It is a mixed-media music video using editing, effects, selected source material, many guitar close-ups, and AI-assisted visuals.
The AI video works because it captures movement, attitude, stage energy, and the feeling of a rock performance. It does not have to be perfect to be interesting. The strange faces, fast cuts, guitar close-ups, and half-real images give it a dreamlike rock-and-roll quality.
Jagger works well and carries the main stage energy. The Wood-style figure is more “someone like Ronnie Wood” than an exact copy. Keith is AI gone wrong, but I kept it because it gives the video its strange, imperfect charm.
During the solo, the Metallica-looking figures in the lift are clearly in the wrong place and do not fit the Rolling Stones mood. Still, they became part of the final mixed-media result.
With the money and resources they have, they could have done better. The idea is strong, and AI video can work very well, but some parts feel unfinished, misplaced, or not controlled enough.
The clip is shaped by editing, timing, rhythm, visual choices, source material, and AI mistakes — not AI alone.
