Are the rolling stones sh*t?

Ooft, no, sorry boys, I couldn’t listen past the point the auto tune kicked in big style. It’s great you’re still rocking. But not for me, thanks.
 
I’m pleasantly surprised by the new single - not great but much better than the filler I was expecting. Still got a lot of love for the first band whose name I was stirred to write on my school bag in 1976. Brand loyalty is a terrible thing 🙂
 
Whenever they bring a new one out, I end up thinking 'Well, it's nice to hear them again but that's not that great' and that's exactly what I think with this one. The exception being the recent blues album that I thought was great. I thought this new one might go a bit Start Me Up at one point but it didn't.

If I got the chance to see them one more time I would. Both times I've been they were still great live.
 
Sounds like Micks voice has been digitally altered.
As for the typical video style...girl a quarter the age of Mick et al..girating in a red car....🤔 ..old..out of touch...not for me I'm afraid.

Mick et al all look like AI versions of themselves.

agree, embarrassing, old enough to be any of their grand daughters... dirty old man vibe especially when combined with the lyrics

Probably are, it worked for ABBA why not the Stones?
Catchy enough ditty but not likely to end up being one for the hall of fame.

hmm so you mean the 80 year old man who married to a 36 year old . don't think you going to get many people saying he is not dirty old man



but the billboard with deaging effect across Thier back catalogue images was nicely done

Yeah alright clever clogs, he's from the "silent generation" then

Oh if only.
🤣 Yes, my point was that their fans might have been boomers, but they weren’t. The people we listened to were boomers. Johnny Rotten is a boomer. Joe Strummer was a boomer.

Yes, which is why I lumped him in. I expect he thinks he's speaking for them in some way, like Claptout does (he was born in 1945, but before the end of WW2)
 
I thought it was fucking brilliant. Really enjoyed it. In fact i wished they'd released it at the start of the Summer. Looking forward to the whole album now.
 
I have no interest in listening to them now and that new single is bobbins, but if I had heard Paint It, Black or Gimme Shelter in the 60s I'm pretty sure I would have been blown away. At this point they're kind of drifting outside of their own time with a back catalogue that includes a few great bangers. I never make an effort to listen even to those because you hear them anyway, but I wouldn't deny their power and influence at the time.

You have to make a bit of an effort to listen to 'as tears go' by or 'let it bleed' or 'wild horses' which you hear never otherwise. Sympathy for the devil isn't played anywhere near as often as it deserves to be either.
