GRRR! is a greatest hits album by The Rolling Stones. Released on 9 November 2012 in Europe, and the rest of the world on 12 November,[8] it commemorates the band's 50th anniversary. The album features two new songs titled "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot",[9] which were recorded in August 2012.[10]

"Doom and Gloom" peaked at No. 61 in the UK Charts, No. 26 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and No. 30 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart in October 2012. Rolling Stone named "Doom and Gloom" the 18th best song of 2012.

The album debuted at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart.

Editions

Artwork

Walton Ford was comissioned to do the album cover.[14] The artwork depicts a gorilla with the Stones' tongue-and-lips logo created by John Pasche, an adaptation of Ford's series of King Kong paintings entitled "I Don’t Like to Look at Him, Jack. It Makes Me Think of that Awful Day on the Island". Ford explained that he "saw the Rolling Stones as a sort of silverback,” and the band could be compared to Kong due to "their kind of enormity of their accomplishment over the period of 50 years.” The band approved the image declaring that “The irreverence of Walton Ford’s imagery captured the spirit of the tour”, but fans were not so welcoming. Ford reacted to the criticism saying "the last people who I wanted to please were Rolling Stones fans”, as he felt they "got their own grudges" and "just seem to be always angry at the Rolling Stones for a lot of reasons". Limited editions of the art were made by Ford and put on sale.[15][16] An augmented reality app allowed to see an animated version of the GRRR! cover.[17] Hingston Studios handled the album's art direction, including the handwritten font used in the cover and its campaign.[18]
