Rolling Stones - Rough Justice

[Pipa]

August 1. They just won't stop, will they?

It's a nice enough song, but I was hoping for something more like Saint of Me.

[Fedepeti]

It kicks ass, it will burn the rock radios.

Is there anywhere I could hear this?

[singingsparrow]

This will certainly make noise at Triple A and Rock.

Beyond that, I just don't see Alternative or Active Rock embracing this. Rolling Stones have never been a staple to either of these two formats.

My Predictions:

Triple A: #3
Rock: #1
Active Rock: #39
Alternative: Will Not Chart

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

It's a double A side, one for general radios and the other for rock stations:

Uh, why would a Rolling Stones song be released to alternative in the first place? Not every rock song is released to all three formats.

Rolling Stones Title New CD and World Tour "A Bigger
Bang"


Tuesday July 26, 10:12 am ET
First All-New Studio Album in 8 Years to Be Released
September 6th on Virgin Records


NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 26, 2005 -- The
Rolling Stones new CD, "A Bigger Bang," will be
released September 6, 2005, on Virgin Records.
Continuing their historic songwriting partnership,
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards began the creative
process last autumn and were later joined in the
recording studio by Charlie Watts and Ron Wood. "A
Bigger Bang" features all new songs, and is the first
studio album by The Rolling Stones since the 1997
platinum-certified "Bridges to Babylon." While in the
studio recording the album last year, the band came up
with the title "A Bigger Bang" reflecting their
fascination with the scientific theory about the
origin of the universe.

"A Bigger Bang" is an ambitious, wide-ranging
collection of hard-hitting, high-powered rock and
blues songs. Running a full sixteen tracks, it is the
band's longest new album since 1972's "Exile on Main
Street." Key cuts include "Streets Of Love," the first
international single; "Rough Justice," which will be
targeted to U.S. rock radio formats; and "Back Of My
Hand," a raw, rough-edged new song in the classic
Rolling Stones blues style. Other titles include "It
Won't Take Long," "Laugh, I Nearly Died" and "Rain
Fall Down" as well as two tracks featuring Keith
Richards' lead vocal, "This Place Is Empty," and
"Infamy."

"A Bigger Bang" was produced by Don Was and The
Glimmer Twins. Was previously co-produced the Rolling
Stones studio albums "Voodoo Lounge" (1994) and
"Bridges to Babylon" (1997) as well as the new songs
included in the greatest-hits collection "Forty Licks"
(2002). Was also co-produced the live album "Stripped
(1995), and last year's critically hailed double-CD
"Live Licks."

The release of "A Bigger Bang" follows the August 21st
tour kickoff at Fenway Park, in Boston. The Rolling
Stones will once again bring fans electrifying
performances and state-of-the-art stage production.
Ticket sales have reached record highs, with fans
already purchasing 97% of all tickets currently
available for sale.

A new song from "A Bigger Bang," "Oh No, Not You
Again," was previewed in the band's surprise live set
on the balcony of New York's Juilliard School in May,
at the announcement of the tour. Following the
completion of 39 scheduled dates in U.S and Canada,
the band will then tour Mexico, South America, the Far
East, New Zealand, Australia, and finally Europe, in
the summer of 2006.

The Rolling Stones hold the record for the top 2
most-attended North American tours of all time. The
U.S. leg of the Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang" tour is
presented by Ameriquest Mortgage Company. The Rolling
Stones' "A Bigger Bang" world tour is presented by
Concert Productions International and produced by WPC
Piecemeal Inc.

I'm just so glad they're back.

I caught "Rough Justice" the other day and didn't even know to expect a new Stones song yet. (If I had been here the day before, I would've known.) I don't remember much about it. It was pleasant enough...

Stones get 'Justice' on U.S. rock chart
By Fred Bronson

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The Rolling Stones entered Billboard's airplay-based Mainstream Rock Tracks chart at No. 29 Thursday with "Rough Justice," a track from their Sept. 6 Virgin Records album "A Bigger Bang." The band's career chart span grows to 41 years, three months and two weeks.

It's the first track by the veteran act to appear on the Mainstream chart in almost three years. "Don't Stop" peaked at No. 21 in October 2002. "Rough Justice" ties a live version of "Gimme Shelter" released in 1998 at the Stones' highest-debuting title on this chart since September 1997, when "Anybody Seen My Baby?" opened at No. 4.

The Mainstream tally was introduced the week of March 21, 1981. The Stones' first single to appear on this survey was "If I Was a Dancer (Dance, Pt. 2)," which entered the week of April 18, 1981, ultimately peaking at No. 26. Four months later, "Start Me Up" debuted, and became the Stones' first No. 1 hit on this list, spending 13 weeks on top.

The group made its first appearance on a Billboard chart during the week of May 2, 1964. England's newest hitmakers opened at a lowly No. 98 on the Hot 100 tally with a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away."
