its there. I'm sure I can hear a piano low in the mix on the outro, its certainly audible from about 2:40 onwards
the fact that the single isnt out for 5 weeks yet surely will give the band some time get some feedback which is almost unaninimous on all the reviews on here, IORR and shidoobee that RJ is a sure fire single and that SOR definitely ISNT one. maybe thats why they released 2 tracks to radio stations.
We can only hope.
No one will get turned on to the Stones by listening to "streets of love", even though they might find the song palatable.
Rough justice simply reminds us why we all loved them in the first place. |

Big question mark for me:
Who is screaming back-ground vocals in Rouh Justice just behing Mick?
I don't mean the chorus part I mean during the other parts of the song.

I can hear Mick in there as well on background vocals |

I don't mind "Streets Of Love" but it's nothing special. It's an obvious paean to U2 fans. "Look, we too can do this shit!"
The synth strings, though... no way. Absolutely not.
It's a better song than "Fool To Cry," and that's about all I can say. It does, like jb said, smack of solo Jagger.
"Rough Justice" sounds a lot like a forgotten Black Crowes song, right down to that filthy, distorted hollow-body sound at the beginning. And fuck, who knew Ron Wood could still play a dirty slide guitar? |

Some points of note!:
0.25 - The 'little rooster' reference.
aside from the cool double entendre at the rooster/cocks couplet, I also got a little smile at the "little rooster" reference.
I think Brian may have done too.
back to the roots in more ways than one |

This will give them plenty of time to make Rough Justice the album's opening track, release She Saw Me Coming as the first single, relegate Streets of Love to a non-album B-side, and title the album simply, "KeepRigid". |

Like it
It gets the tele stamp of approval
Anytime you get two clashing guitars and Charlie at the top of his game it is a win-win

Yeah, but not there I mean just behind Mick at times screamin the same lyrics as Mick. Not the rough justice choras part but the shouting part. This person is screaming the verses just behind Mick. Is it Bernard? Is it Chuck? Actually sounds like Chuck.

That sounds like Mick backing himself. If this was even ten years ago I'd say it was Keith, but Keith doesn't hit those notes anymore. You can clearly tell on the last verse that it's Mick, no one slurs their words quite like that. |

in both songs - mick's lyrics are pedestrian at best. but what's new, really?
guitar baby! RJ me, ronnie! |

Actually SOL is not as bad as I thought it would be reading the other thread about it, it's got something, not much I agree, but it's got something and at least we are spared Mick's atrocious "Brand New Set" wavering vocals, it sounds more like "So far Gone" that preceded it, could use a little hammond though.
RJ is cooler though, some kind of bastard cousin of "Where the Boys Go", "Criss Cross Man" and "Bitch", with the drumming of "Neigbours" thrown in for good measure.
Still, in both cases the lyrics are beneath Mick, can't he find anything of interest to talk about other than his dick ? Someone neuter the guy so he can move on !

Now dat is wot i am talking 'bout. RJ is very "Faces". It's got a bloody good punch to it. I can hear non-fans going "sounds like every other Stones song".
But i like it, i like it, yes i do.
Streets of love - eh.
Could be a good "cigarette lighter" song. Not liking Jaggers accent too much. Chorus is ok.
Still, all up, signs are good.
Yes, i will buy the cd.
Or, score it for my birthday.

To each his own but Rough Justice is the kind of Stones tune I was hoping for... it rocks & ROLLS, it's a little messy and a whole lotta fun just like sex itself. I don't care how "deep" the lyrics are but they're "deep" enough for me with the line "So put your lips to my hips baby and tell me what'sa on your mind" Gotta love it. Not that they'd care, but if I happen to get within earshot of Mick or Keith tonight I'll definitely let thme know how I feel. |

I’ve just downloaded Rough Justice and I have to say, I quite like it. It has a great, filthy guitar intro, courtesy of Keith and Ronnie’s slide guitar is great. I really like Mick’s vocals on this song too. If he wrote those lyrics, then the man deserves extras points!
However, part of me is slightly disappointed. It just doesn’t stand out enough. It has a sound very similar to other Stones rockers and I guess I was expecting something a little “different” Bridges To Babylon gave us a few great examples of how the Stones can still be truly creative and surprise us. I DO LIKE Rough Justice; I just hope there are a few numbers to equal the likes of Saint Of Me and Out Of Control.

well, i just listened. i think RJ is ok, the lyrics are a little lame, but i like the band rockin' like that. as for SOL, it's only a little worse than "blinded by rainbows" was when i first heard that, and BBR really grew on me after a few listens....
and i've never been a big fan of stones ballads. i hate "angie" with every fiber of my being....
so, we'll see. |

Yes, my girlfriend has the same reaction to it. For some reason I like it. I will never forget tuning in to Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and seeing Mick dressed as Little Bo Peep singing it as rose petals fluttered behind him...hard to maintain one's masculinity AND Stones fanatacism but somehow I did (no matter what the warmongers say to the contrary!)
Keith's hair was magnificently dissheveled in that clip, I ALWAYS wanted my hair to look like that afterwards but could never manage it. |

yeah, see...that "little bo peep" image has always stuck in my head......

its like this, folks
when you're sitting in work and "Rough Justice" comes on the radio as "the new Stones single", you'll have a smug smile of satisfaction knowing that the greatest rock n roll band of all time have come back with a cracker of a single and you'll feel proud that everyone knows youre a Stones fan.
If its "Streets of Love", you'll be going to the bathroom more than usual to hide.
exactly
I'd be proud to stand be this one, it rocks, pure and simple
been a long time since we've heard anything with this kinda energy from them
hopefully theres a few more where this came from

Rough Justice is better than anything on Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge and Bridges imo.
That riff in the chorus was in my head all day.

Rough Justice is getting tons of airplay in the Toronto area. After listening to the mp3 this morning, I've now heard it 5 times on FM radio, nice & loud, through a good stereo... I'm liking this one!!! |

kath and FPM--I am with you two on ANgie--even being one of those fanatical Mickchicks and all. I couldnt stomach the video or song. Much to affected. I pretended Mick never dressed like that--put that shit right outta mah mind...
I prefer he don a big ole hat and sing some country blues, strummin his guitar. Even Keith admits he has a good touch on acoustic.
Oh christ. I cant wait for them to hit the stage. I dont care what the hell they play.
Although As Tears GO By (as is being reported in TOronto) would be interesting, no?? |
