Over the course of their career the Rolling Stones have revealed themselves to be a surprisingly neurotic band: keeping tallies of your nervous breakdowns, pleading to be given shelter and wondering â€" we're just paraphrasing here â€" if they'd ever attain any measure of satisfaction in their lives. Now, on their first single in six years, and at an average age of 68 1/4, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts have declared, once and for all, that all is “Doom and Gloom.†This song, which made its debut Thursday on BBC Radio 2 (and which we were pointed to by Stereogum) is one of two new tracks that will be included on “GRRR!â€, a multi-disc greatest hits compilation that will be rele ased on Nov. 12 to celebrate the band's 50th â€" 50th?, yes 50th â€" anniversary. “Gloom and Doom†finds the Stones in classic, apocalyptic blues-rock-stomp mode, but with its contemporary references to shooting up hordes of zombies (and hydraulic fracturing), will it be their first track to find its way onto a trailer for “The Walking Deadâ€?
