Rolling Stones release official video for ‘Doom and Gloom’

The legends that are The Rolling Stones continue to show off their sharply-fanged guitar riffs in their new video for single ‘Doom and Gloom’. The track is taken from the band’s greatest hits album ‘GRRR!’ released 12th November as their first recording together in seven years.
Guitar God Keith Richards kicks off the video with a familiar opening riff and Mick Jagger quickly jumps into the performance with his narration of a dream he had last night, which then starts a surreal series of disjointed clips from hard partying, airplane crashes, zombie encounters and ending up in a ditch.
As the video progresses, the lyrics and the visuals become more hard – hitting and political. The band tackles economic inequality, warfare and a whole lot of frustration from the miserable world surrounding them. However, they do suggest a cure of love or lust at the end when Jagger sings “Come on, baby, won’t you dance with me”.
Jonas Akerlund, Grammy – winning video director, helmed the ‘Doom and Gloom’ video for the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band. Akerlund also directed work for Madonna’s “Ray of Light” video.
