It’s not bad. I don’t know if I’d compare it to the songs on Flowers though.
Surprised Richards can find the ends of his fingers for anything other than another cigarette, or a “hit” on something stimulating— waste of space. So now this-— because “they need the money”? Ghost minds, more like. And as TRITE as Bob Dylan’s Chrysler commercial.
Better than anything Justin Beiber or Brittany SPears has ever done
Good showing by the Strolling Bones. Nice tune, not their best, but not bad.

They are definitely in the high risk demographic. And not just for age.
Jeez.
We deserve annihilation.
Having a “#1 Hit” in today’s entertainment world is not the same thing as having a #1 back in 1981. For one thing, there is no longer any particular radio station or music outlet that the majority of Americans listen to.
No matter what The Stones produce nowadays, it will probably be seen as ‘more legacy rock’.

Love Paint It Black. Reminds me of Vietnam... though my tour of Vietnam consisted of sitting in the bottom of my dad’s balls sack the whole time.

Keef does an intro at the link, where he tells us to “Say stafe.” Lol.

Although I like the Stones, I liked the Specials original version of this song better.
I suspect there will be a ton of videos made to this song..and there will be at least one that will be far better than the video they released for the song. Probably more than one
Not bad...good for the Stones.
On a related topic, the movie “Cadillac Records” is a great glimpse at American blues artists of the 40s, 50s and 60s.
These artists, struggling to get their “race records” played on American radio, had their work stolen by white American performers like Elvis, Pat Boone, & the Beach Boys, and later had to sue for royalties.
It was the English bands, most notably the Rolling Stones, who acknowledged & paid dues to American bluesmen like Willie Dixon, Howlin Wolf, Little Walter & Muddy Waters, which finally got them the respect they deserved.
The Stones even invited them & paid their way for a blowout European tour in 1967.
The Stones were instrumental (!) in bringing American blues to the attention of American audiences.
The movie “Cadillac Records” is a very entertaining retelling of this story.
It’s available on a lot of the streaming sites.
There is a song from the 1980s called “Ghost Town” by the Specials. I thought of it recently after seeing the barren streets of major cities.
