They are looking bloody good for their age…….a Stones concert is about 2 and a half hours or more……they last played in 2022. Amazing fitness to do that at their age, and still an amazing live band. Looking forward to the album.

They’re not called The Strolling Bones for no reason!
Clever, clever use of historical footage of The Chaps, edited down into the video for the “Angry” single.
Yet again, a potential classic track, instantly recognisable as The Stones, right from the opening riff from Keef.
Rock on, geezers!

On this occasion I tend to an alternative view to @dave-marshall I thought Angry pretty average, laden, not rolling, lacking Charlie’s swing, is he on there?
Just played again perhaps I was premature, it actually swings better than I first thought, I reckon Charlie is on there.

In spirit perhaps…

This morning’s paper said Charlie is on two tracks.
Presumably as Rock Wright was on final Floyd album.
On the album yes, from 2019, but not the single ‘Angry’.

That’s a great review from The Guardian, referencing, as it does, The Stones opening “Tattoo You” with Keef, blasting into “Start Me Up”.
I’ve watched the “Angry” video only three of four times and already the riffmeister-in-chief has burnt that earworm into my brain.
That’s been the story of The Stones down the decades … … … catchy riffs which just burn their way into one’s consciousness, resulting in the inevitable purchase.
This rocks like a good 'un!

Keef Riffchards indeed. During the interview yesterday it was clear ‘…a great riff’ is what keeps him happy.

Angry is Steve Jordan on drums.

The confusion could be Angry was co-written with Andrew Watt the producer of the album, and possibly those other two tracks.

Argh, makes sense, I think I’ll buy this on vinyl just because Charlie went to my school, albeit years before me, and his Auntie lived in an adjacent street.

Track 13 is missing from that list too.

Interesting as Mick confirmed on Jimmy Fallon that Charlie was only two tracks recorded in 2019 and Bill was on one track.
There again as per your post “Angry” (with Watt) Watt indeed!
Also, Charlie doesn’t really feature that prominently in the video.
