Jagger's brilliant lyrics...'rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank'... there is no need for a devil. Humans are quite capable of being devils. Amazing song. Loved your reaction.
Keith plays bass on this track, as well as guitar. He's a massively underrated bass player. Stellar production from Jimmy Miller. Every instrument and voice used as rhythm tracks.
For a brief time period they wouldn't play this song live because every time they did,something bad happened (this was the song they were playing in the Altamont film "Gimme shelter" in the footage that shows the Hell's Angels killing an audience member who they thought was attempting to attack the group). And in another incident,while they were performing it live Keith Richards was knocked unconscious when he was electrocuted by his own guitar.
Damn girl! You're enjoying the song like a true 60's Stones fan. Shaking your body, head and soul like you're doing it, it was always the early stones intentions from rhythm and blues....
Nicky Hopkins kind of dominates this song with his piano. Scribe there was no cut & paste back then , those "woo woo's" had to be sung through the whole song!
Stones have a ton of great songs. This has always been one of my favorites. My personal fav is "She's a Rainbow." Also "You Can't Always Get What You Want." I'm a sucker for orchestration.
I love this song. This is a very dark song! Yet it is so appropriate in it's theme to the deception that hides the evil it sings of, so innocent sounding! Almost humorous. Until you actually listen to the words. It's brilliant.
My favourite part about the song is Keith Richard's guitar solo, fabulous tone but beautifully understated, compliments and enhances the song without overpowering it. Interestingly it's one of the reasons Slash was reluctant for GnR To cover the song because of how iconic the guitar riff is.
Reminds me of the 70's. This song would come on while I was driving. I would look at the speedometer, 90mph every time. Good thing the cars come with cruise control, now.
Great reaction. Love ALL your reactions. Plus...Happy Birthday..fellow Gemini. I was born in 1958 Friday the 13th. June 13th Friday ...1958. I knew there was a reason I liked you. Best
I love your reactions in general, but especially on this. You really should check out some more Stones stuff. Just off the top of my head: "Honky Tonk Women", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Sway", "Midnight Rambler", "Tumbling Dice"...
Happy Sunday my beautiful rockin' Queen Scribe! Love how you did your rendition of Proud Mary. Hmmm...I can see you covering that song. What a great way to start off my Sunday evening with The Stones. ❤️💝👑😍🥰🌹🌺🔯❣️💕💞💓💗💘💖💟⭐️🌟✨
Congratulations! You just fell hard for a 50 yr old song. Great music never becomes dated. You picked up on what I thought was the most telling line - "who killed the Kennedys, when after all, it was you and me". The song was sung by the devil, but the devil is us.
Love your stuff, Scribe. Your voice and comments are fire. Try "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones. A beautiful love song and quite different from their usual image.
"Sympathy for the Devil" is lyrically and instrumentally (some stingin' guitar in this!) the best 'Stones song. Definitely a Top 5 tune of theirs!... Good reaction and analysis, $C! Try "Tumblin' Dice" if you wanna add some soul to your funk!...
Amazing song. That’s 1968! Way ahead of their contemporaries like the Beatles. They are the Greatest Rock & Roll Band Of All Time. Always mixed it up, they’ve done reggae, funk, pop, disco, hard rock..Total funky song from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards & Co., oh another thing you are a cutie..
Great reaction. What you said at the end there about Kennedy... he actually says "Who killed the Kennedys?" plural. It's very cool and interesting that you thought he said or meant JFK only, because originally it was written early in 1968 as "Who killed Kennedy?", just JFK. However, they began recording the song at the studio on the 4th of June 1968. Two days later on June 6 Robert Kennedy was killed. They right away changed the line as it is today to "Who killed the Kennedys?".
Sitting around the house at beer-thirty in the afternoon, and I came across your review of this gem. The Stones have been around so long that their sound varies between RnB influenced rock, classic rock, Southern rock, and country rock. This is a rabbit hole worth exploring. They will amaze you. Fun fact: Mick Jagger(the lead vocalist)learned how to dance from Tina Turner. Love your reviews, and keep up the great work.
Remember, the Rolling Stones started out as an English blues band, immersing themselves in the underground UK blues scene that was trying copy and emulate the black American blues men from across the pond who they were influenced by and idolized during a time when those black artists recieved no love, appreciation or recognition in their own country at the time.
This song came out only 3-4 months after Robert Kennedy was assassinated. It would be like if somebody today made a song saying, "who killed Kobe Bryant, after all it was you and me."
Great reaction, order the CD "Beggars Banquet" yul be doin' the thing smart, you will own it. Keith was playing stabbing licks on his Telly. How about "Ruby Tuesday" and don't forget "She's a Rainbow", good incisive comments.it's a 10.
Actually that came After Mick Taylor left and Ronnie came in. I think the disco influence was Micks idea because Keith (the Rock Riff King) Richards would never bring that s**t up, haha.
Lots of women think little guys with big wiggle weenies are hilarious. Mick jagger managed to invent a complete Jester comedy routine around it. He’s actually a quite skilled entertainer and the Stones are a highly skilled down to earth band. They help me for one, hate disco with a passion for something more down to earth
This was the sound track to the murder of Meredith Hunter by the Hell’s Angels at Altamont Free Concert on 12/6/69. Sad, fitting way for the 60’s to die too. If you can, give the movie, Gimme Shelter a watch. Oh, and Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main St.
For some reason, when playing this live, they won't play the best verse of the song. "l watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the God they made..."
I'm pretty sure that's the verse they were singing when Hell's Angels (who the event organizers had hired to act as security) and a crowd got into a scuffle which resulted in seven people dying. I think they don't sing that verse live out of respect for the seven who died
Hey, you didn't talk about how they're using the samba beat to give the tune its voodoo vibe. Can you imagine how conservative America in 1968 reacted to a song about how you should respect the devil?
I love watching you feel the groove. So hot. Anyway, I always took this song to mean dont blame the devil for the bad shit we do. The devil might open the door, but we choose to enter.
That there is argualy one of the most influential electric guitar solos ever recorded. When you can check out the 1968 documentary film "Sympathy for the Devil" that Jean-Luc Godard made of The Rolling Stones figuring out this song in the recording studio. You might find it surprising.
Loved your comments and energy. To check out something very different, but pleasing and a journey into another culture, check out Coke Studio “Paar Chanaa De” or “Heeray”. Use subtitles.
Jagger's brilliant lyrics...'rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank'... there is no need for a devil. Humans are quite capable of being devils. Amazing song. Loved your reaction.
Well said. I like how when Jagger sings the word “stank” he emphasizes the “k” almost like he’s spitting it out.
Mick reading too many books that Marianne Faithful had given him ❤️
Rolling Stones - "Cant You Hear Me Knocking"
The best Stones song
This is when the Rolling Stones really came into their own in a big way.
This one and wild horses are my favorite songs from the stones.
Keith plays bass on this track, as well as guitar. He's a massively underrated bass player. Stellar production from Jimmy Miller. Every instrument and voice used as rhythm tracks.
Playing bass is playing root notes of lead. Of course he can play bass.
Wow I didn’t know that
culdnt hold a candle to bill's bass..........there's lead...........and there's bass .........stay in the right lane , keef...
I love how absorbed you get in the music you're listening to. That in itself is a great reaction!
Have you done Brown Sugar? How about Time is on my side? Under my Thumb? Angie? This is a huge rabbit hole
She is Brown Sugar.
Those are all EXCELLENT songs to react to! I agree!!
Angie is so so sooo good.
Perfect for weddings and family get togethers. 😉
it is though....
Yes..... perfect for an ADDAMS family get together!
You MUST know my peeps, lmaooooooo 🤣😂🤣🤣
I'm only 28 and I've did that. Went well actually
Wow...
A real reactions. You were actually LISTENING. Caught all of the music, beats, the lyrics...
I am a fan!
Wild Horses.
One of the most iconic songs in the history of rock n roll.
Laces out
This is not only rock and roll. This song is something different. A really masterpiece
Gimme Shelter, Stray Cat Blues, Moonlight Mile, the list is endless.
For a brief time period they wouldn't play this song live because every time they did,something bad happened (this was the song they were playing in the Altamont film "Gimme shelter" in the footage that shows the Hell's Angels killing an audience member who they thought was attempting to attack the group). And in another incident,while they were performing it live Keith Richards was knocked unconscious when he was electrocuted by his own guitar.
I rode a tank, held a General's rank, when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.
Damn girl! You're enjoying the song like a true 60's Stones fan. Shaking your body, head and soul like you're doing it, it was always the early stones intentions from rhythm and blues....
ScribeCash you really feel it! Great reaction!!
Nicky Hopkins kind of dominates this song with his piano. Scribe there was no cut & paste back then , those "woo woo's" had to be sung through the whole song!
Stones have a ton of great songs. This has always been one of my favorites. My personal fav is "She's a Rainbow." Also "You Can't Always Get What You Want." I'm a sucker for orchestration.
That guitar solo is one of my all time favorites! It sounds like Lucifer himself is playing it.
The slashing style in such a high pitch fit so well... but we ARE dealing with genius here....
One of the greatest songs ever.
I love this song. This is a very dark song! Yet it is so appropriate in it's theme to the deception that hides the evil it sings of, so innocent sounding! Almost humorous. Until you actually listen to the words. It's brilliant.
These are my boys. You gotta listen to more stones. Greatest rock n roll band ever.
My favourite part about the song is Keith Richard's guitar solo, fabulous tone but beautifully understated, compliments and enhances the song without overpowering it. Interestingly it's one of the reasons Slash was reluctant for GnR To cover the song because of how iconic the guitar riff is.
Happy belated Birthday, Scribe
Ruby Tuesday and It's only rock n roll (But I like it)
Reminds me of the 70's. This song would come on while I was driving. I would look at the speedometer, 90mph every time. Good thing the cars come with cruise control, now.
Great reaction. Love ALL your reactions. Plus...Happy Birthday..fellow Gemini. I was born in 1958 Friday the 13th. June 13th Friday ...1958. I knew there was a reason I liked you. Best
This whole album (Beggars Banquet) is worth a listen: Street Fighting Man, Jigsaw Puzzle, Factory Girl…,
Street Fighting Man and Jumpin Jack Flash are iconic and worth a listen
I love your reactions in general, but especially on this. You really should check out some more Stones stuff. Just off the top of my head: "Honky Tonk Women", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Sway", "Midnight Rambler", "Tumbling Dice"...
Happy Sunday my beautiful rockin' Queen Scribe! Love how you did your rendition of Proud Mary. Hmmm...I can see you covering that song. What a great way to start off my Sunday evening with The Stones. ❤️💝👑😍🥰🌹🌺🔯❣️💕💞💓💗💘💖💟⭐️🌟✨
My personal favorite Stones tune! Nice guitar work by Keith, the seemingly immortal.
Sway, Under My Thumb, Tumbling Dice, Torn and Frayed, Soul Survivor, Sister Morphine, Midnight Rambler, and Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker).
And... Ventilator Blues, one of their best next to Can't ya hear me knocking
Loved how you picked up on the rhythm section. Some say the best in the biz and I can't argue. Big time Latin flavor mixed with the blues
This was the first guitar solo I ever learned! Mainly because of that gnarly guitar tone!
Congratulations! You just fell hard for a 50 yr old song. Great music never becomes dated. You picked up on what I thought was the most telling line - "who killed the Kennedys, when after all, it was you and me". The song was sung by the devil, but the devil is us.
great reaction, one of my favourite all time songs, enjoyed seeing you experience that
Love your stuff, Scribe. Your voice and comments are fire. Try "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones. A beautiful love song and quite different from their usual image.
When he mentions St. Petersburg, he is making reference to the bolshevik revolution in Russia...imo
"Sympathy for the Devil" is lyrically and instrumentally (some stingin' guitar in this!) the best 'Stones song. Definitely a Top 5 tune of theirs!... Good reaction and analysis, $C! Try "Tumblin' Dice" if you wanna add some soul to your funk!...
Gimme shelter is still #1 for me. But I've always loved this one too. Miss you is good when I want to move my legs and hands. Fortune teller too lol
First song I Remember hearing as a kid. I was two years old and I was hooked!
The right background color for this track.
Hey lady.
Some good back-of-the-head scratching towards the end.
Shattered. That's a Stones song that will rock you!
It is a great song but for stones I'm paint it black all the wau
Miss You
@@alrivers2297 oh you speak my language

What an incredible track😎 awesome
Like nothing else! Perfect rock n roll.
I can't believe that bottle of 409 hasn't been used up yet . 😀 keep up the good work ,keep rockn. 🤘🤘🤘
Love your take on the song. And, as always, you're simply gorgeous.
Check out Stones live November 1969 at the Gardens playing Midnight Rambler. And turn it up...
Memory Motel off the Black & Blue Album. One of the Stone's hidden gems. You will love it.
This was litty before litty was even a word!!!!...
You do have a good voice!! Respect
That guitar .... Never too much ... The Stones had so many songs that weren't really rock, or anything else but .. What they were ... Perfection ..
Amazing song. That’s 1968! Way ahead of their contemporaries like the Beatles. They are the Greatest Rock & Roll Band Of All Time. Always mixed it up, they’ve done reggae, funk, pop, disco, hard rock..Total funky song from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards & Co., oh another thing you are a cutie..
Yeah you can call them that, but, doesn't deflect from, the fact, that, The Beatles, simply are, the best band of all time. The Stones followed.
Great reaction. What you said at the end there about Kennedy... he actually says "Who killed the Kennedys?" plural. It's very cool and interesting that you thought he said or meant JFK only, because originally it was written early in 1968 as "Who killed Kennedy?", just JFK.

nice appreciation analysis - you so musical

Two of my top 10 favorite Stone songs were rock and disco hits. I still love them. Miss You and Emotional Rescue.
Country swings Disco sucks and RAP is CRAP
Try "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (mellow jam with choir).
June 13th was my late brother's birthday and he loved this fucking song, lol.
I guess you have to know history to appreciate the brilliance of these lyrics.
This song came out only 3-4 months after Robert Kennedy was assassinated. It would be like if somebody today made a song saying, "who killed Kobe Bryant, after all it was you and me."
Great reaction, order the CD "Beggars Banquet" yul be doin' the thing smart, you will own it. Keith was playing stabbing licks on his Telly. How about "Ruby Tuesday" and don't forget "She's a Rainbow", good incisive comments.it's a 10.
409 needs to give you some proceeds for background ad's :) seen it more then once in a video
First time watching someone listening to this song who is a complete void on the historical refences within the lyrics.
Great, they tried the samba beat at Hyde park but on the US tour of 69 played it more of a driven rock song
If you want to see a live version of this song, there’s a reaction by Dax something.You also get a quick peek at John Lennon
Brian Jones was the soul of the Stone's music his loss was why you got disco stones.
Actually that came After Mick Taylor left and Ronnie came in. I think the disco influence was Micks idea because Keith (the Rock Riff King) Richards would never bring that s**t up, haha.
This and Paint It Black are probably my favorite Stones songs. BTW, it wasn't JFK, the line is "who killed the Kennedys" which includes RFK.
You do great reactions .
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name.
If what's troubling you, is the nature of my game.
Lots of women think little guys with big wiggle weenies are hilarious. Mick jagger managed to invent a complete Jester comedy routine around it. He’s actually a quite skilled entertainer and the Stones are a highly skilled down to earth band. They help me for one, hate disco with a passion for something more down to earth
The Stones had a cool raw blues rock vibe back in the day. Jimmy Page from Led Zep is also playing guitar on this song.
Jimmy Page is not playing guitar on this. Its ALL Keith Richards
This was the sound track to the murder of Meredith Hunter by the Hell’s Angels at Altamont Free Concert on 12/6/69. Sad, fitting way for the 60’s to die too. If you can, give the movie, Gimme Shelter a watch. Oh, and Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main St.
Actually they were playing Under my Thumb when Meredith Hunter got killed by the Hell's Angels.
That guitar hits like a razor blade, which is perfect for this song!
Rolling Stones - "Get Off of My Cloud" & "Gimme Shelter"
What Up SC, check out all versions of SISTER MORPHINE.
Actually he said "...who killed the Kennedy's, When after all Ott was you and me" referencing both John and Robert Kennedy.
She's very very pretty astonishing fantastic fabulously tremendously terrific as she is i love her reaction to the rolling stones 👍🤟👍🤟
For some reason, when playing this live, they won't play the best verse of the song. "l watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the God they made..."
I'm pretty sure that's the verse they were singing when Hell's Angels (who the event organizers had hired to act as security) and a crowd got into a scuffle which resulted in seven people dying. I think they don't sing that verse live out of respect for the seven who died
I luv the early stuff that the Stones did ! Under my Thumb omg ! Better than The Beatles IMHO .
Taking us through several events in history....and The Devil was present the ENTIRE time.
Keep smiling... beautiful!
I encourage you to listen to this live. Bridges to Babylon tour 1997 St Louis, look it up. Also turn it up loud.
Nice to see a pic with Brian Jones. RIP
Hey, you didn't talk about how they're using the samba beat to give the tune its voodoo vibe. Can you imagine how conservative America in 1968 reacted to a song about how you should respect the devil?
I love those athletic tops you wear. You have a wonderful personality
Slobbered on my guitar neck more than once with this🤤
Four chords to heaven right here.
aaaaghhhh, that's my birthday too....no wonder I like ya... :)
Bill Wyman was an Ace of bass.
Keith's playing the bass on this song.
I love watching you feel the groove. So hot. Anyway, I always took this song to mean dont blame the devil for the bad shit we do. The devil might open the door, but we choose to enter.
Enjoyed,your a scream.Stones are awesome.Take care lady X.
That there is argualy one of the most influential electric guitar solos ever recorded. When you can check out the 1968 documentary film "Sympathy for the Devil" that Jean-Luc Godard made of The Rolling Stones figuring out this song in the recording studio. You might find it surprising.
Mmmm....love me some Scribe hahahahahaha....straight rock classic right here girly girl
You've got to watch some of the interviews with Keith Richards, you won't believe it... ps he also played a pirate in pirates of the Caribbean...
I saw them live at the fedex field, can't wait to see you react to ky preorder choice of mindless self indulgence
Loved your comments and energy. To check out something very different, but pleasing and a journey into another culture, check out Coke Studio “Paar Chanaa De” or “Heeray”. Use subtitles.
the stones will change the game for you, kid!!!
Their magnus opus. I could tell you liked it.
Holy Open Tabs Batman! ;-)
