  1. I was 21 when this song came out and it sounds just as good now as it did back then.

  2. This is very relevant today even. We got an excuss for Iraq & Afghanistan we are just waiting to bomb Iran back to the stoneage. Poverty has been increased since the sanctions started & it will soon be a ruin when the US fnds an excuss for doing so.

  3. thank god the rolling stones may be shown in the US ! lol. best regards from Holland

  4. now i raised myself a interesting question, can this video be seen in the states or not ?

  5. Happy New Year to the greatest Rock& Roll Band- Without a net…….

  6. clearly you have no issue with Saddam Hussein in power and the misery both him and his rapist sons would have on that country if he wasn’t removed (yes I know it was about mineral resources but killing two birds with one stone etc).Oh and don’t take the moral high ground after all the allied armies happily butchered civilians and turned cities to rubble in world war two in the pursuit of victory just like the axis armies did yet I’m sure both you and I approve of that.

  7. Not only political but they take a shot at Lady GaGa and Madonna in their G&D video.

  8. I think there are more than we realize. I seem to be one of the few that "get it" that "Gloom and Doom" is political. 🙂

  9. they didn’t make a better song since, except maybe "saint of me"

  10. This was actually a direct response to the first gulf war.. Check your recent history.  One of the few Stones protest songs.

  11. You’re an idiot. This song was an answer to the First Gulf War.

  12. Amazing that this came out 14 years before Tony Blair went to Iraq in 2003…If he had listened to this song even once in those 14 years, I find it hard to believe he could have still gone into Iraq – after all, it is just like life imitating art – absurd!

  13. He did appear in the next Stones video though, Sex Drive.

  14. He did appear in the next Stones video though, Sex Drive.
