One of the best songs of the stones .

Apenas Mary Clayton.

what is meant by 'shot'? It's just a shot away?

she lost her legs in a car accident...tragic

She recorded the song on her solo album.

Lindsay Buckingham has the right to be full of himself, he's truly amazing as a musician and songwriter and singer. I'm getting tired of Stevie although I've loved her too... it's just when you go out of your way to hurt someone that is never good and infact makes you look worse. I'm now leaning more towards Lindsay. I know Mick and John and they won't say anything against anyone.. too much at stake.

Marr left The Smiths because in part he was tired of Morrissey’s drama. Marr will never work with Morrissey again.

I'm not a big Stones fan (different generation), but Gimme Shelter is one song I love. To me it captures the 60's perfectly.

I enjoy your videos but please can you stop it with noise on the visuals? It's like when videos use subtitles. I have no idea why you they do it. The only thing it serves to do is distract the viewer from the content. Pointless and possibly, patronising.

It was the closing tune for our local evening news back in the mid to late 1970s. Memorable.

Signing does NOT cause miscarriage, respectfully to her. 1 Thing about music i do not care for is the whining so and so was a struggling musician/band, then the next thing they say is the person/band was struggling with success via drugs/alcohol. NO, you cannot be a victim the whole path. Not in this video, yet other stories of musicians paths. Only losers do drugs.

9:28 - It sounds like Lindsey Buckingham got the Don Felder treatment. Coincidence that Stevie was f&*king Don Henley? What a bunch of ego-maniacs. The people who get screwed are the ones with real talent. Don Henley is busy suing HIMSELF these days. RIP Christine McVie - we'll miss your lovely voice and songwriting excellence. I think that Stevie Nicks just liked to f&*k too much and used her voice as a vehicle to try to climb the corporate music ladder with her pu$$y. Mick Fleetwood's book has a tone of "I want to confess that I fu*%ed Stevie Nicks". I hope it was good, Mick. I thought you were smart. No pu$$y in the WORLD is worth sacrificing 100 MILLION album sales.

Am radio, 53 Chevy p.u. my brother at the wheel pulling our boat on a Delta road ; this song played,best day of my life

Where did you get this story from? This is not what i heard how the song came to be, Gimme Shelter.

Freddie leaving the stage knowing it was his last live performance…so sad. Freddie weathered the horrors of his illness with grace. All of his friends and acquaintances said he never complained to them. A few of his thoughts about his life come to mind. 7:41 He was interviewed by David Wigg where he stated that “I’ll never make old bones”. At another point he says “when I’m dead, who cares? I won’t!”, And to his lawyer as he was settling his affairs; “You can do anything with my music, but don’t make me boring.” My all time favorite quote; “I’m just a musical prostitute, my dear!”

The Smiths would sell out The Rosebowl and the Coliseum in Los Angeles easily

When Marr sees how much money Noel makes next year you can bet on The Smiths in 2026

I thought Morrissey was a far leftist

Saw the smiths back in the day, seen morrisey and marr solo couple of times each now….go and see the smyths for around £15 have a few beers squint your eyes and you are there 😊

Morrisey is a chump

Interesting, I didn't know this. Personally I always had the feeling that this song had to do with the pain in trying to kick heroine. Going through withdrawals and making the right choice, knowing it would be so easy to make all the pain go away. Shelter, and relief from the terrible storm is just a shot away.

Marr is a bellend

"Life is merely an illusion" is one of those solipsistic inanities propagated by the religiously deluded.

Oh blah blah blah who can stand waiting to hear it🙄 NOT ME!!!

You lost me at 9:17..."But first..."

That's horrible. I wish it hadn't happened only slightly more than I wish I didn't know it.

Does he mean bitter taste in my mouth ? Dark is not a taste it's a level of light.

Merry Clayton's vocal has always given me chills and brought me to tears, simultaneously. I never knew why until this video. So many factors contributed to such a haunted stew. "Gimme Shelter" has always been my favorite Stones song as well. I remember watching the Altamont film in my teens and that just blew me away. Thanks for these presentations. 🖤

Good piece, but I would like you to give thanks to the late Gil Friesen, producer of the Oscar winning documentary "20 Feet From Stardom" which included Merry in the sequence you showed with her and Mick. I had the honor of meeting Merry and dining with her at Gil's wake. More tragedy followed for her- she lost both her legs below the knees in 2014 in a car crash in Los Angeles. In the interview with her and Mick, that was the first time Mick had heard her vocals in Gimme Shelter....isolated- and he was genuinely amazed. Watch "20 Feet" and listen to her belt out that guttural scream- Amazing!

Born in the 70’s and Let It Bleed is my favourite album of all time!

Mary looks frighteningly like Kamala Harris in those interviews. That’s even scarier than all the other evil in this song.

I lost People I grew up with when Covid Hit I'm retired and Don't Go many places, I had No Need for a Vac's They Felt Other Wise to the Point Of Bye, Bye! That Came & Went like Covid Scare Did They Got All Vac's up and Still Caught it They were down for week's, I caught it, and was kinda ill for 2 days My Own Immune System Took Care Of It, "Without A Vaccination" We Still Talk to each other, but the Day's of "Opening My Home To Them" Has Ended - "Nor Will I Trespass On Their Property" Trust Is Given Until It Is Lost - Now You Have To Earn It Back Until You Do That Door, Is Closed Behind You!

Not taking sides on this, its just petty and mean to do so. Loved their music.

Huh, Very interesting! thanks for doing the research and filling us all in.

I found this historical story very moving for some reason. Thanks.

What a powerful backing voice in Mary Clayton and does much to make this track so special and never mind being one of the Stones best ever, one of the best rock compositions of all time and a personal fave.

Sympathy for the devil... All time best stones song 💙💙💙

Let’s be clear, Brian Jones is the FOUNDER (not co-founder) of The Stones

I still believe Meridith Hunter brought his demise on himself & he was reported to have altercations before what happened with the Angels. You see the gun he had & lord knows who he planned on firing at, but it was his last mistake.

Two heebs fighting over the same bone...who cares!

Baba O'Riley might be a good song for a trip to the loo, but if you're constipated and need more time you better go for Won't get Fooled Again with it's 8.5 minutes. Both are long songs that never get boring or overly repetitive. Add to those two Behind Blue Eyes. Three of the best rock and roll songs ever, from one of the best albums ever IMHO.

I'm not bright enough to wounder why I just enjoyed the shit out of the music

Morrissey like all of us was a moody teen. Then he dragged it out for 40 more years. Liam Gallagher is racing to beat his record!

Honestly, the flashes and Xs made this unwatchable.

nothing is more inspiring than Knighted old geezers smashing guitars.

Light? Almost playful? What song were listening to for fifty years? Lol.

I guess 'The Anita effect' is the polar opposite of 'The Yoko Ono effect'.

I can't bare Marr. He needs to stop being a woke pussy. He's not even in the same game as Morrissey

No ¡ This wanker band is the worst thing to happen to rock. The next beatles😂😂😂

Who cares? Just 2 has-been mancs full of themselves
