Apple Music Exclusively Debuts Keith Richards 'Trouble' Video

i meant "exclusive content" or featuring these artists not it being available in the apple music library
I had the privilege of seeing The Stones in concert this summer and it was phenomenal from the first note. I'm excited to hear Keith's new album (his solo material is really underrated IMO, it's better than Jagger's) but I still hope and wish the Stones record one more album together. Bigger Bang was actually quite good, especially if you didn't hold it to the same standard as the "Golden Era" albums (Let it bleed, Exile, anything with Mick Taylor basically). Nothing can live up to the standards of those old albums that have inspired so many fans and musicians alike over the past 40 years.
The update fixed iTunes match. I have 17000 songs matched... no problems. Also, it has nearly the entire iTunes library available to stream. More music than Spotify has, approximately 7 million more tracks. Spotify has a horrible UI anyway, and to have a family plan is VERY expensive. Not to mention, iTunes isn't any worse or better than the previous version.
I strongly doubt that Radiohead or NIN (I don't know much about DCFC) would sell out their fans in such a way. Both bands have battled against corporate lockdown / misuse of their music.
Disappointing to see Richards doesn't have the same level of integrity - it's not like he even needs the money.
Just playing devil's advocate: he may not have the final say, nor care about having it.
Apple Music getting an exclusive of an aging rocker's single called "Trouble." There's irony in them thar hills!
Oh get off your high horse. This is Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones we are talking about. They tossed their "integrity" into the Thames when they released "Dirty Work."

Oh I see. Have they released anything new, though? I don't remember seeing anything new from these guys. Must admit, I don't follow them much.
Hmmmm I'm not so sure about that. To each their own obviously but imo Spotify has a much better UI than the apple music app and iTunes is way too confusing and bloated at this point. I have the trial of AM right next to my Spotify app and honestly I've probably used it twice. These 7 million extra songs don't really affect my tastes and I prefer Spotify's UI over AM. Spotify just works for me and always has. With the marrying of Spotify and PS4 recently it's gonna take a little bit more than a few exclusive albums from pop artists I couldn't care less about to get me to abandon the black and green.
Keith should have put his video on "The Walking Dead" series, as well as getting a regular guest spot. He is a real-life example of a zombie. Zombies like Keith have more media hype than bite. Not impressed with him in any way, other than his ability to stay alive after abusing himself over and over.
So you want some music for younger people and not "old people"? NIN and Radiohead have been going since the 80s - Trent Reznor is 50, hardly a young pup!
I get the feeling that people are only going as far as the main Beats 1 live show, and completely ignoring the other stations. I listen to the Rock station all the time, and there are a huge variety of artists there.
I cannot stand Death Cab for Cutie. The singer's voice is incredibly grating, and all of their songs sound the same.
Frankly, your description applies to almost every band of the past twenty years.
It's a depressing thought.
Perhaps, one day, someone will write something good again. I won't hold my breath.
