The Rolling Stones on Tik Tok

MISE À DAY

The grandpas of rock and roll land on the favorite social network of young people.  

Since early Thursday morning, the Rolling Stones have had a Tik Tok account. The very many followers of this archi-popular application now have access to the catalog of the legendary British group, which invites them to propose their versions of their great successes. 

“Covers, remixes, guitar solos, mashups… anything goes. Transform your favorite Stones song. We're going to share some of your creations…”, mentions the group, who would also like to see the dance moves and the looks of the Tiktokeurs to the sound of Start Me Up, Gimme Shelter and ( I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Archival video from 1963 also shows the Rolling Stones introducing themselves one by one, back when the band featured Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Brian Jones.

An album of original Rolling Stones songs, the first in eighteen years, is due in 2023. Ronnie Wood revealed that the late drummer Charlie Watts should be heard there.
