The Stones (what's left of 'em) have released a new single. Everyone's getting into a bit of a lather about it. Maybe cos it's 60 years since their first 45 hit the shops.
What's it called? Angry.
When's it out? Now.
Is it any good? (Shrugs) S'alright. 7/10; the video's better.
Alright then, the video? A solid 9. See for yourself.
The Rolling Stones - Angry (2022)
Enjoyed it more than I expected... but she really should wear a seatbelt.
ReplyDeleteClunk-Click every trip; did we learn nothing from the 70s?
DeleteThe song is fairly generic post- 74 Stones but decent enough I suppose. The video is clever (The Stones through the years bits on billboards) and good fun (the girl in the car)... Rol's right about a seatbelt, most irresponsible and I feel like there's a comment to be about airbags
ReplyDeleteOh, matron!
DeleteIt does sound a bit cut-price New York Dolls to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteAgree with Rol and SA about the girl in the video, I was getting worried there that she was going to, ahem, fall out
I think what I'm trying to say here thru my ridiculously brief review is twofold.
Delete* It's not about the song (the Stones have never been about the songs since 1981's Start Me Up).
* It is, however, about the band curating what their legacy will look like. Hence the excellent accompanying video. Those billboards ARE the Stones: Charlies's in there, Bill's in there, Mick Taylor's in there. That's how the band will ultimately be remembered.
Very true.
DeleteThat's not Hackney
ReplyDeleteNothing gets past you, Ernie.
