Just under three weeks to actually holding a new album of original Rolling Stones material. Time can be strange, ABB doesnt seem like 18 years but it is. A whole generation have popped up into adulthood since the last original album. My eldest nephew was one in 2005, he's now 19 and finished school! Incredible to think of how time has passed and just how much time since an original album

A track I skipped for years, came back to now and again, and have come to enjoy. It is not a great song perhaps, but it is s nice groove. Love the harmonica touches and the hypnotic riff.

I love it from first listening. 6pm yesterday, or just before; listened 7 or 8 times yesterday evening. A truly wonderful track. Can't wait for the album.

Have always loved the slinky groove of this track. SW was, along with Sticky Fingers, my first Stones records- given by a friend in 1993. SF, even on first listen, was wondrous. I was intrigued with SW in that they could still kick with power in 1989, at the time their most recent studio album. The opening trio had such rhythmic power, bass and drums cooking beneath cool guitar licks. A swagge

Great singwriter; as well as the CSN & Y material, I'm a huge fan of his time with the Hollies. Particularly '66-'68, wonderful stuff from 'For Certain Because', 'Evolution' & 'Butterfly'.

Really enjoy both. LIAGR still sounds good today. Angry though would get my vote - the song, particularly the second half, is just such Stones groove magic, it is irresistible. Many of my colleagues (non Stones fans, mostly casual music fans) have all heard it, the press event was on most every news channel and curiosity sent them to YouTube for the video. Reaction overwhelmingly positive. &q

QuoteDandelionPowderman Not sure if they'll release the 7 minute + song with Gaga and Wonder, but I'll take anything they have to offer while waiting (impatiently) on the album. Same; 6 weeks on one hand not too long, on another a seeming eternity Cannot wait to have it in my hands, reading the notes, the credits, earphones playing the album. October 20th cannot arrive soon enough.

Quotepeoplewitheyes I know 6 weeks is quite a while to wait for the new album, but I'm sure there will be another song released (although not necessarily in all these stupid physical formats) in the intervening period. My bet would be one with Gaga, Stevie or one of the guests on, in order to keep the profile high and further whet appetites for the album release. Releasing the track with M

QuoteLeonidP I personally think the new single is brilliant! I love the subtle guitar solo kicking in and then song buildup! I'm 7 or 8 listens in and love it too. Its immediate and hugely enjoyable. Love the guitars weaving from solo to finish. I think the Bonus Track on the Japanese Edition maybe would be 'Ghost Town' as opposed to a new original.

Quotetreaclefingers The Stones have "roll", and I don't think Heavy Metal does, or if it does please list an example and I'll stand corrected. That's why that list seems quite off. It's Only Rock'n'Roll heavy metal? I don't remotely see that. That's basically it, as Keith said in 1997 when B2B was being released, "f** the rock, we wa

QuoteGasLightStreet Aside from Rough Justice, Rain Fall Down, It Won't Take Long, She Saw Me Coming, Dangerous Beauty, Biggest Mistake, Let Me Down Slow - just those alone make a fantastic album - short and hitting.

There Was a Time, Catcher in the Rye, Better, This I Love, Madagascar, Street of Dreams, Prostitute, even IRS - ChiDem I rate hig

Like many others have said, the passage of time is almost surreal. I remember following the Toronto show in the days after on IORR - pictures/setlist/video, to then waiting (im)patiently to get my hands on a bootleg VHS of the broadcast. Twenty bloody years!

QuoteRocky Dijon I love Mick. I love The Stones. Certainly he and the rest of the band were a popular force over the last 60 years.

What The Stones achieved was to maximize their potential in a popula

A song I could take or leave when first discovering the Stones, but a song I love now (along with the whole Black&Blue album - even Cherry Oh Baby). Fool to Cry - The vocals, the melody, something sublime about it. As mentioned above, sounded wonderful in '76 on stage.
