Rolling Stones: New Song Called “Doom and Gloom,” Concert Deal Not Yet Signed
The Rolling Stones will release two new songs with a 48 song collection this fall. One of the songs is called “Doom and Gloom,” which may describe how the deal is going for the four show, $25 million project they were supposed to announce today. My source says the deal is not done, nothing’s been signed. So instead today’s announcement was that the Stones will release a 50 song boxed set of hits called “Grrrr!” to celebrate their 50th anniversary. There will two new songs– “Doom and Gloom,” and “One Last Shot.”
There are a bunch of different versions of this thing, with 3CDs, a booklet, and– just kidding– a hologram, a laser beam, and a set of Yo Yo’s with each Stones’ face engraved. If the prices for all these things are like the Brussels limited edition sets featured on the Stones website, then yikes. I don’t know, I expected more, not just “40 Licks” plus 10. A little disappointed? Well, it’s going to get better I’m sure once they’re live and on stage. Don’t wanna be all “Doom and Gloom.”
“Grrr” will be released on November 12th.
Just what we needed another greatest hits package with two new tracks NOT! I will buy the two new tracks and the hell with the rest of it..I have all their albums without compilation packages anyway. A 50 yr anniversary and this is whats delivered? So far Im not impressed!
