It's not so literal, he's asking man to take responsibility for their own actions, he can load the bullets into your gun but you decide to pull the trigger, for example "I shouted out who killed the Kennedys, when after all it was YOU and me"
Reacts like this are why I keep coming back to these guys. Smokey’s got a quiet, unassuming intelligence & has a wide & solid base of knowledge, H6 is like a kid in a candy shop, honestly awed & intrigued by the “new” things he hears. They have a great chemistry.
I think we were all reacting like Smoke,H6 said he still didn’t halfway through the first verse. At least I was doing a double take as I’m along of course😂! I’m not sure when I first heard it…classic rock was a big part of my childhood because of both my parents and song wise either “Paint it Black” or “Beast of Burden”
I'm a geezer who has listened to the Stones since they first came to the US. They've been my favorite band since I first heard "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" on my AM transistor radio back around 1965'ish. They have a HUGE catalog of hit songs, but if I had to pick my favorites - they would be Gimme Shelter, Paint it Black. Time Waits for No One, Miss You, Can't You Hear Me Knocking - but that only scratches the surface - it's a very deep rabbit hole.
This has to be one of the best songs in history. History, funk, soul, rock, intelligence, mystery ... and he lures you into thinking "yeah I get it, you've had hard times" but then he follows up with "you'd better show me some respect or I'll torture you for eternity." I mean... as songs go, what's more powerful than that?
And add to that the concept that the devil is indignant about being blamed for all the bad deeds people have done. The ad-libbed sounding, almost throw-away line at the end: "I tell you one time, you're to blame" really sums it up.

Spot on Smokey. The song is written from the Devil's perspective, and it's said to be inspired by Mikhail Bulgakov's book THE MASTER AND MARGARITA - a tale wherein the Devil runs around the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Jagger's a fan, apparently.
I imagine the "what's my name?" lyric is that the Devil is (ultimately) the force behind every evil. He was the impetus for war, assassinations, strife, conflict, corruption, etc.
The name Rolling Stones comes from a Muddy Waters song. The bass in this recording was played by Keith Richards. usually when the Stones record with Richards on the bass, that's when the song gets a very groovy bassline. Another example of Richards playing the bass is Jumping Jack Flash.
@@paulsaez7941 not at all, Bob Dylan doesn't come into it. They're named after Muddy's 1950 song "Rollin' Stone". Dylan was 9 years old when Muddy Waters released this song. Bob Dylan's song wouldn't come out until 1965, 2 years after the Rolling Stones formation.
@@mpmlopes thought thats common knowledge amongst us music lovers .. you are 100% correct Muddy Waters was one of mick and keifys favs when young ... theres some great old footage around of them performing with muddy too .. take care ..
Never been a massive Stones fan, definitely in The Beatles camp, but this track is pure fire, and it’s aged so so well. Still sounds so fresh all these years later!! The devil is in the man, every man that entertains the notion of war.
It’s amazing they released this song back in the ‘60s. It was a very different time back then. Religious ideas of “decency” were far more important in the media, so it’s crazy they were able to produce this
A stone cold classic which was the opening track to the Stones 1968 masterpiece, BEGGARS BANQUET. That song - and the album itself - is pretty much timeless. Love your reaction guys. The Stones from anywhere between 1965 to 1973 is as good as rock and roll gets.
One of my favorite Stones songs. This song was featured in the movie, "Devil's Advocate" starring Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, and Charlize Theron. GREAT movie! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!
Sympathy is one of the few songs jagger wrote without the help of keith.. At first, he said it was based on a poem of Baudelaire. But later he said it was inspired by The Master and Margarita, which Marianne Faithfull would have offered to him as a present.the master and the margaritas is a novel that encourages you not to take yourself too seriously, no matter how bad things have got. The Master and Margarita is a reminder that, ultimately, everything is better if you can inject a note of silliness and of the absurd.
I have always thought that the song is from lucifer's perspective and he is basically saying that he has gotten blamed for all of the bad in the world, when actually it has been mankind that has been responsible for the pain and suffering that has gone on throughout history. I grew up with the Stones and have always been a big fan. This is one of my favourites along with Can't You Hear Me Knockin'. I can remember listening to this in my room in the mid 70's and my mother thinking that I was into devil worship ... I must say, it did make me like the song even more.
I can’t recall when I first heard this song. I’m actually surprised y’all never have. Pretty sure it’s in some movies/tv and I definitely have heard heard it plenty of times on the radio. My favorite RS songs are “Paint it Black” and “Gimme Shelter”
Quick story: college student in Austin, TX in the late 70’s. Invited to a party in a part of town I didn’t know. Dark, not sure where we were going (no GPS in those days). Parked, started walking. Heard music coming from a house. As we approached, could make out this song. Get closer and hear everyone inside singing “woo, woo!” Looked at each other-“we found it,”
Not 100% sure, but there was a book by O. Henry called "Rolling Stones", where they may have gotten their name. But it is true there is a saying "A rolling stone gathers no moss", either way. Mick Jagger has a way with lyrics that make you believe what he is saying. Beelzebub, Satan, Lucifer (the bringer of light), Mephastaphalese, The Evil One, etc. all names for The Devil. The song is also a quick review of some major moments in the 20th Century, The Russian Revolution, World War Two, The Kennedy Assassinations, Religious Wars, etc.
I am new to your channel but wanted to say that I love, love, love that you guys let the whole song play through and then give your reaction, instead of stopping the song in mid-play as so many reactors do! A few more Rolling Stones song suggestions are "Under my Thumb", "Paint it Black" "Wild Horses and "Shes a Rainbow".
The rolling stones started in the early 60's and are still going so there is great variation in the songs - fantastic live band to see.You should also try Paint it black , midnight rambler , Ruby Tuesday and You can't always get what you want.
I think they did Paint it Black. I'd like to see Jumpin' Jack Flash. I think I remember hearing Sympathy for the Devil first from GnR when I watched Interview with a Vampire as a kid. I'm pretty sure I tuned out the "Oldies" station that might've played the RS version since it was largely Motown, Doo wop, and pop of the 50s and 60s.
My first listen was the GnR cover, but I tracked down the original straight after. My dad was more of a stones fan, I mainly listened to his who, Bowie, zepplin and Queen LPs
The way the video is done is genius I've listened to this song for years but never really got to understand the lyrics or just into the sound.....blew my mind its chilling
Love y'all's reactions. 💕 The list is long for song options with this band, but I'd say... Paint It Black Jumpin' Jack Flash Start Me Up You Can't Always Get What You Want Under My Thumb and/or She's So Cold You can't go wrong with any of them. 👍😊
Love the channel guys! Dig the trivia!! You all are helping me get through Covid again and and a septic infection! Your comrade and genuineness is phenomenal we need more of you guys! Love the Stones love this song! Keep up the amazing channel! Take care!!!😊🤗🎃🎸☀️🌵🙏
It's from a Muddy Waters song "Rollin Stone" But there is a song from the mid 70s called "Too Rolling Stoned" Great song great one to react to. You will get hooked on Robin Thrower. Sounds like Hendrix.
Great reaction! Check out Guns & Roses 🌹 cover of this, it's pretty awesome too!! Yes, this is entirely about lucifer. It was a Huge song in the interview with the Vampire, which was chilling at the end! Thanks trash talkers, love your reactions! ❤️🎼
This song was in the movie "Fallen" with Denzel Washington!!! Fantastic movie!!! Great reaction guys!!🤘🤘🤘🎵🎼🎶🥁🎸🎧🎹🎙 He's describing all the places in history where "the devil" has been!!
I saw the Stones play this song in November, 2021, in Las Vegas. It was fantastic, the stage was lit up red. Definitely worth watching a live version. Mick came out in a long coat. In the 90s Voodoo Lounge Tour he came out in a red top hat and long red jacket. Woo woo!
🤘🏼💕Aw, look at you two jammin some Stones…LOVE IT! This is one of the greatest songs ever in my opinion, I grew up with the stones on the radio so it’s just part of my childhood, but if you guys do some covers of this song I swear to God one of my absolute all-time favorite songs ever is the Jane’s Addiction version… Motörhead does it too and both of these bands totally give it their own sound while staying true to the Stones, check them out if you get a chance ..have a great rest your day guys you made mine a little bit brighter as usual ✌🌻💚😎
fun fact about this, besides GNR covering it, this was also redone with the neptunes (pharrel and chad). same vocals but the drums are basicaly what neptunes do
One of my two favorite Stones songs. The other being Paint It Black, which was used as the theme song for the tv show about the Vietnam War, Tour Of Duty, starring Tom Berringer.
The first time I remember hearing "Sympathy for the Devil" was the Guns n' Roses cover at the end of "Interview with the Vampire" when I was around 9 or so. I don't remember the first time I heard the Rolling Stones version, but I really enjoy both versions.
The video for this song is crazy. Y’all should check it out now that you have seen the lyrics. There several huge names from music in the crowd. Can’t express enough how FANTASTIC the video is. One of my favorite songs by the stone’s.
@@studogable I didn’t know that. Have you ever watched the part I’m talking about? That makes more sense to me now that John and Yoko were in the audience along with a few others. 😁 I’m going to have to check it out now 🙂
Y'all have to watch 'Sympathy for the Devil/One On One' by Jean-Luc Godard about the making of the song. It's a fascinating and revealing evolution, interspersed with Marxist polemic from a group of urban young Black men, presumably disenfranchised Londoners.
' mothers little helper ' is probably my favourite stones song , i like 'paint it black' as i used to watch ' tour of duty' which was on at an ungodly hour in the UK. Thanks for the reaction.
The first time I heard this song was off their 1969 live album, "Get Your Ya-Yas Out". That version had Mick Taylor, who replace Brian Jones after he drowned, and Keith Richards switching lead solos and is awesome. IMO Taylor and Richards were one of the best duo guitarists in one band.
I was maybe 7 when I heard this song. My early years of music were from the radio but mostly my parents CD and record collection. My first memory of hearing this was my dad playing it for me without telling me the title and trying to see if I could figure out who (as in the character, not the name of the singer) was before the line "just call me Lucifer." I think he might have given hints. I think they do play this song now, but they didn't for a long time after the Altamont show in 1969.
Thanks for sharing!! If you haven't already you should consider checking "Can't you hear me knocking". It is Jamtastic! Head phones, green meds, and buzzing through midnight listening to this back in the day!!
G'morning guys! The Rolling Stone(s) 1960s - There's ' Rolling Stone ' the magazine ... - sounds like I'm a ' choo-choo train ': 🎼" WOO! WOO! "🎶🎵 - Keith Richards, lead guitar 🎸 - " ... Cops are criminals, sinners are Saints ..." - (* more guitar 🎸 ) - fade outro " DUECES! " ✌🏻😸✌🏻 👋🏻😸👍🏻
At the time to be "stoned" meant to be drunk. Their name came from the phrase as you mentioned. Thanks Nicky refers to Nicky Hopkins who played piano on the song.
Hollywood he tells you to call him Lucifer "Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint" It was so great watching Smokey sing along. FANTASTIC. There are some Rolling Stones songs you have to listen to close. They slide crazy shit in to the lyrics lol. Example : You Make a Grown Man Cry. Near the end of the song the lyrics say " You make a Dead Man Come." They were great a those. I still hope for Halloween you do King Diamond: Sleepless Nights live from the Filmore.. It wold be great. Stay Safe.
@@91GT347 they did KING DIAMOND: HALLOWEEN last year. I think they would like this one better. But MERCIFUL FATE : THE OATH or DANGEROUS MEETING would be KILLER as well
1962-1965. The Rolling Stones came into being in 1962 when former schoolmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met Brian Jones, who was playing with Alexis Korner's band Blues Incorporated. Brian named their new group after the title of the Muddy Waters song " Rollin' Stone". Need some Muddy Waters reactions!
First time I heard this song was the 70's when I was in elementary school so I wouldn't have had any idea what they were singing about. In fact, I didn't realize the lyrics until my early adulthood.
Now think about being 12 years old and in the seventh grade and buying this album and listening to this song for the first time then going Out and buying the live album Get your Ya Ya’s Out where the song sounds even better recorded live at 12 years old… that was me brother..
The song starts out discussing how he was around when pilate had his moment of doubt so speaking of biblical times here then stuck around st petersburg square in Russia when he sensed it was time for a change meaning the Russian Revolutions. References the kill of the Czar and his ministers who were the rulers of Russia at the time and who's entire family was murdered. The reference to Anastasia was one of the Czar's daughters who is rumored to have survived and you can find numerous people claiming to be her or other theories about her fate. The part about he held a generals rank during the blitzkrieg was a WW 2 reference where he was a Nazi general and of course the Kennedy reference needs no explanation. So who else but the devil himself could have been around for so long as well as been a part of such evil over the centuries. If you watch the ending to the movie with Tom Cruise and Christian Slater "An Interview with a Vampire" Tom Cruise turns on the radio and this song plays. Guns N Roses also had a rather upbeat cover of this song that has a serious reggae vibe going for it.
The Stones have been around 60 years, which means there's countless songs you can go with. As far as personal favorites: paint it black, wild horses, can't always get what you want, jumping jack flash, beast of burden, dead flowers, start me up..... I seriously could list at least 15-20 songs that are great by the Stones. You've done Slipknot Saturdays and Tool/Maynard Tuesdays, why not Stones Sundays?
If you guys want to check out a deep cut I recommend "Ventilator Blues", it's off of the album "Exile on Main Street". I enjoyed your reaction to 'Sympathy...' - one of my all time favorite songs!
The Lucifer of the song narrates all the misfortunes of human history in which he was the protagonist, and asks for “understanding”, otherwise he will damn the souls of those who don’t respect him. He cites The Hundred Years’ War, the October Revolution, the trial of Jesus, the Second World War and the death of the Kennedys As an aside, Jagger originally only cited JFK, but the murder of Robert Kennedy during the recording period, led them to adapt the lyrics on the fly. Sympathy For The Devil was intended to be an analysis of the dark side of humanity; one which allows itself to be too easily swallowed up by the banality of evil, thereby helping it to accomplish the wickedness it craves. If you understand the Devil within yourself, maybe you can deal with him.
It's really cool to go back and revisit the bands that started it all, it's always fascinating to see how music has evolved over the years. I think of it like a staircase or a step ladder, each new generation of bands are standing on the foundation laid by those who came before them. Just food for thought, have a great day everyone. 😎
The Rolling Stones took their name from the Muddy Waters tune, "Rollin' Stone", a song sometimes titled "Catfish Blues" -- "Well I wish I was a catfish \ Swimmin' in a oh, deep blue sea \ I would have all you good lookin' women \ Fishin', fishin' after me \ Sure 'nough, after me" It seems to me that Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics to "Sympathy for the Devil" to push back against those who called him the devil back when. The song seems to admonish the listener against jumping to conclusions about those you might feel inclined to otherwise condemn. The 1968 documentary film "Sympathy for the Devil", directed by French director Jean-Luc Godard, shows The Rolling Stones working out the song in the recording studio, right down to the "woo hoos" and Keith Richards' killer guitar solo -- arguably one of the most influential rock guitar solos ever recorded.
Not necessarily their biggest song, but one of the big ones. So many Rolling Stones hits... A few to hit? "Paint It Black", "2000 Light Years From Home", "Honky Tonk Women", "Gimme Shelter", "Satisfaction", "Ruby Tuesday"...
My parents introduced us to The Stones early on. British Invasion and Psychedelic rock along side of Beach Boys. Next Rolling Stones should be "Brown Sugar".
One of the strongest Bill Wyman tunes in the Stones catalogue. Bill on bass and Charlie on drums drive this song. “This head, this tail, just call me Lucifer….” They are saying the devil is getting the blame for all of man’s inhumanity.
It's not so literal, he's asking man to take responsibility for their own actions, he can load the bullets into your gun but you decide to pull the trigger, for example "I shouted out who killed the Kennedys, when after all it was YOU and me"

Except Devil-Satan-Accuser is not eternal. HeShe is the first victim of hell, not its manager
It is a powerful piece my peoples

What I love about this reaction is that he is having a conversation through the song with him, until you know what is going on you are in the story
"When after all, it was you and me"
I love the part where Jagger’s like, “Mmmmm… mean it.”
I heard this as soon as it came out and has always been one of my favorite Stone's songs
Always loved the real history in this gem. It's real. 🤘

I saw the Stones play this song in November, 2021, in Las Vegas. It was fantastic, the stage was lit up red. Definitely worth watching a live version.
Mick came out in a long coat. In the 90s Voodoo Lounge Tour he came out in a red top hat and long red jacket. Woo woo!
Love this song, and the album, "Beggar's Banquet".
🤘🏼💕Aw, look at you two jammin some Stones…LOVE IT! This is one of the greatest songs ever in my opinion, I grew up with the stones on the radio so it’s just part of my childhood, but if you guys do some covers of this song I swear to God one of my absolute all-time favorite songs ever is the Jane’s Addiction version… Motörhead does it too and both of these bands totally give it their own sound while staying true to the Stones, check them out if you get a chance ..have a great rest your day guys you made mine a little bit brighter as usual ✌🌻💚😎
fun fact about this, besides GNR covering it, this was also redone with the neptunes (pharrel and chad). same vocals but the drums are basicaly what neptunes do
Y’all are becoming my favorite music reaction channel. Great reactions to some great music. Y’all should check out Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun
One of my two favorite Stones songs. The other being Paint It Black, which was used as the theme song for the tv show about the Vietnam War, Tour Of Duty, starring Tom Berringer.
Woo Hoo great song love you both great reactors Woo Hoo ( an both funny too)
The first time I remember hearing "Sympathy for the Devil" was the Guns n' Roses cover at the end of "Interview with the Vampire" when I was around 9 or so. I don't remember the first time I heard the Rolling Stones version, but I really enjoy both versions.
Ok Hollywood, you mean to tell me you couldn't get that right off the bat? It's literally in the song title. The devil, Lucifer...
The video for this song is crazy. Y’all should check it out now that you have seen the lyrics. There several huge names from music in the crowd. Can’t express enough how FANTASTIC the video is. One of my favorite songs by the stone’s.
That's from a production they did called "Rock and Roll Circus". It features a jam with John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell.
@@studogable I didn’t know that. Have you ever watched the part I’m talking about? That makes more sense to me now that John and Yoko were in the audience along with a few others. 😁 I’m going to have to check it out now 🙂
@@kimzwolinski9919 hope you like it. The whole thing was amazing
Y'all have to watch 'Sympathy for the Devil/One On One' by Jean-Luc Godard about the making of the song. It's a fascinating and revealing evolution, interspersed with Marxist polemic from a group of urban young Black men, presumably disenfranchised Londoners.
@@damonhines8187 I saw that when I was in high school. It's interesting how the song evolved during the recording process.
I forgot how much I love this song. Takes me back a bit 🖤
I probably heard that song when I was maybe in the fifth grade somewhere they’re 1978 I believe and I’m 55 now always like that song.
One of the best by the stones. Thanks guys. Another great reaction.
Ps he says lucifer towards end of song. Who is considered the devil.
Dam I love watching you react to music, keep bringing it💯💯💯💯 your interpretation is spot on best to you both
There is countless classic songs to do by The Rolling Stones. Love this one though 🔥
Era of Napster is when I first heard this. Got introduced to so much classic music during that time
Me and my friends used to sing GOOD TUNE....It fits perfectly
' mothers little helper ' is probably my favourite stones song , i like 'paint it black' as i used to watch ' tour of duty' which was on at an ungodly hour in the UK. Thanks for the reaction.
“She Talks To Angels” by The Black Crowes!
The first time I heard this song was off their 1969 live album, "Get Your Ya-Yas Out". That version had Mick Taylor, who replace Brian Jones after he drowned, and Keith Richards switching lead solos and is awesome. IMO Taylor and Richards were one of the best duo guitarists in one band.
First time I heard Sympathy for the Devil was 1969. My brother played it and it changed my whole perspective on religion
I was maybe 7 when I heard this song. My early years of music were from the radio but mostly my parents CD and record collection. My first memory of hearing this was my dad playing it for me without telling me the title and trying to see if I could figure out who (as in the character, not the name of the singer) was before the line "just call me Lucifer." I think he might have given hints. I think they do play this song now, but they didn't for a long time after the Altamont show in 1969.
"Thanks Nicky", refers to Nicky Hopkins who played piano for this recording .
Jagger wrote this after reading Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. The song completely captures the vibe of the novel.
His name is the human race, the duality of
Thanks for sharing!! If you haven't already you should consider checking "Can't you hear me knocking". It is Jamtastic! Head phones, green meds, and buzzing through midnight listening to this back in the day!!
Heard this on the radio in the earl 70s As a kid
G'morning guys!
The Rolling Stone(s)
1960s
- There's ' Rolling Stone ' the magazine ...

- Keith Richards, lead guitar 🎸
- " ... Cops are criminals, sinners are Saints ..."
- (* more guitar 🎸 )
- fade outro
" DUECES! "
✌🏻😸✌🏻
👋🏻😸👍🏻
There were sooo many protest songs during the Vietnam war era. And this is one of them. I know, I remember a lot of them
One of the finest songs in rock history.
At the time to be "stoned" meant to be drunk. Their name came from the phrase as you mentioned. Thanks Nicky refers to Nicky Hopkins who played piano on the song.
Hollywood he tells you to call him Lucifer "Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint" It was so great watching Smokey sing along. FANTASTIC. There are some Rolling Stones songs you have to listen to close. They slide crazy shit in to the lyrics lol. Example : You Make a Grown Man Cry. Near the end of the song the lyrics say " You make a Dead Man Come." They were great a those. I still hope for Halloween you do King Diamond: Sleepless Nights live from the Filmore.. It wold be great. Stay Safe.
A King Diamond request. Holy shit. 🤘👍
Unholy perhaps.🤷♂️
@@91GT347 they did KING DIAMOND: HALLOWEEN last year. I think they would like this one better. But MERCIFUL FATE : THE OATH or DANGEROUS MEETING would be KILLER as well
@@Evl_1 Hell yeah !
1962-1965. The Rolling Stones came into being in 1962 when former schoolmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards met Brian Jones, who was playing with Alexis Korner's band Blues Incorporated. Brian named their new group after the title of the Muddy Waters song " Rollin' Stone". Need some Muddy Waters reactions!
My absolute favorite Rolling Stones song.
Last time I suggest. Chicago 25 or 6 to 4
25*
Something to be grateful for.
@@Squiggles95 oh wow! Yes indeed thank you for the correction. Was about 2am my time hahahaha 😴
First time I heard this song was the 70's when I was in elementary school so I wouldn't have had any idea what they were singing about. In fact, I didn't realize the lyrics until my early adulthood.
Now think about being 12 years old and in the seventh grade and buying this album and listening to this song for the first time then going Out and buying the live album Get your Ya Ya’s Out where the song sounds even better recorded live at 12 years old… that was me brother..
This should have been used in the tv show Lucifer ha ha ha. Too perfect of a fit
They have so many hits, but this is my favorite Stone's song.
The song starts out discussing how he was around when pilate had his moment of doubt so speaking of biblical times here then stuck around st petersburg square in Russia when he sensed it was time for a change meaning the Russian Revolutions. References the kill of the Czar and his ministers who were the rulers of Russia at the time and who's entire family was murdered. The reference to Anastasia was one of the Czar's daughters who is rumored to have survived and you can find numerous people claiming to be her or other theories about her fate. The part about he held a generals rank during the blitzkrieg was a WW 2 reference where he was a Nazi general and of course the Kennedy reference needs no explanation. So who else but the devil himself could have been around for so long as well as been a part of such evil over the centuries. If you watch the ending to the movie with Tom Cruise and Christian Slater "An Interview with a Vampire" Tom Cruise turns on the radio and this song plays. Guns N Roses also had a rather upbeat cover of this song that has a serious reggae vibe going for it.
The ygot the name from the Bob Dylan song, 'Like a rolling stone', which they later covered.
This is a true classic! Ghost/Papa Emeritus IV and Hellacopters have done a great cover of this song with kind of a different feel to it.
The Stones have been around 60 years, which means there's countless songs you can go with. As far as personal favorites: paint it black, wild horses, can't always get what you want, jumping jack flash, beast of burden, dead flowers, start me up.....
I seriously could list at least 15-20 songs that are great by the Stones.
You've done Slipknot Saturdays and Tool/Maynard Tuesdays, why not Stones Sundays?
If you guys want to check out a deep cut I recommend "Ventilator Blues", it's off of the album "Exile on Main Street".
I enjoyed your reaction to 'Sympathy...' - one of my all time favorite songs!
The Lucifer of the song narrates all the misfortunes of human history in which he was the protagonist, and asks for “understanding”, otherwise he will damn the souls of those who don’t respect him. He cites The Hundred Years’ War, the October Revolution, the trial of Jesus, the Second World War and the death of the Kennedys
As an aside, Jagger originally only cited JFK, but the murder of Robert Kennedy during the recording period, led them to adapt the lyrics on the fly.
Sympathy For The Devil was intended to be an analysis of the dark side of humanity; one which allows itself to be too easily swallowed up by the banality of evil, thereby helping it to accomplish the wickedness it craves. If you understand the Devil within yourself, maybe you can deal with him.
It's really cool to go back and revisit the bands that started it all, it's always fascinating to see how music has evolved over the years. I think of it like a staircase or a step ladder, each new generation of bands are standing on the foundation laid by those who came before them. Just food for thought, have a great day everyone. 😎
I was about 12 when I heard it for the first time. 51 years ago
My favorite Stones song by far... not even close!!!
The Rolling Stones took their name from the Muddy Waters tune, "Rollin' Stone", a song sometimes titled "Catfish Blues" -- "Well I wish I was a catfish \ Swimmin' in a oh, deep blue sea \ I would have all you good lookin' women \ Fishin', fishin' after me \ Sure 'nough, after me" It seems to me that Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics to "Sympathy for the Devil" to push back against those who called him the devil back when. The song seems to admonish the listener against jumping to conclusions about those you might feel inclined to otherwise condemn. The 1968 documentary film "Sympathy for the Devil", directed by French director Jean-Luc Godard, shows The Rolling Stones working out the song in the recording studio, right down to the "woo hoos" and Keith Richards' killer guitar solo -- arguably one of the most influential rock guitar solos ever recorded.
You guys need to review Chino Moreno and Team Sleep, Woodstock Sessions Your Skull Is Red and Live From The Stage.
Blood, Sweat and Tears also covered this song Symphony for the devil/Sympathy for the Devil on BS&T 3
Great reaction again..
Do more Dylan
Not necessarily their biggest song, but one of the big ones. So many Rolling Stones hits... A few to hit? "Paint It Black", "2000 Light Years From Home", "Honky Tonk Women", "Gimme Shelter", "Satisfaction", "Ruby Tuesday"...
My parents introduced us to The Stones early on. British Invasion and Psychedelic rock along side of Beach Boys.
Next Rolling Stones should be "Brown Sugar".
So much history in this song.
One of the strongest Bill Wyman tunes in the Stones catalogue. Bill on bass and Charlie on drums drive this song. “This head, this tail, just call me Lucifer….” They are saying the devil is getting the blame for all of man’s inhumanity.
It's Keith on bass, not Bill.
They still play it here in upstate SC on Rock 101.1
