"Rough Justice" kicks off A Bigger Bang, the Rolling Stones' 2005 album, and it went out ahead of the record as a double A-side with "Streets of Love". Keith Richards said it came to him in his sleep, almost like "Satisfaction", and that he woke up hunting for a guitar before the riff could get away; he and Mick Jagger then worked it up together.
It sounds like a band with nothing left to prove and no plans to slow down. Jagger sings and plays electric guitar alongside Richards, Ronnie Wood adds slide, Charlie Watts drums, Darryl Jones plays bass and Chuck Leavell sits in on piano. The Glimmer Twins produced it with Don Was, Krish Sharma engineered and David Sardy mixed.
