I remember my dad trying to explain this song to me. When I got older and figured it out for myself I realized what a terrible job he did 😂 Looking forward to hearing how great of a time you had at the concert 😊
The line that ties it all together is “I’ll tell you one time, you’re to blame”. We do all those things and blame them on some made up devil so we never have to take responsibility for our own actions.
The devil is basically saying of all the sins he has done, man is not that innocent either, man has conspired with me, and has done far worse things, so please have some sympathy on me...
Weirdly enough it sounds like Lucifer playing the guitar solo. I literally can picture a red,pointy-tailed,horned and hoven Satan dancing around playing the solo on a Gibson SG.
If you look closely at the lyrics here, you may come to realize that this song is NOT about the Devil. "Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer" If a cop is to a criminal, as a sinner is to a saint, and as heads is to tails, then Lucifer is to "God". Hope you guess my name! This song is about God. Very clever lyrics.
Saw them do this song in Pittsburgh in 1989. Mick started at the top of the stage at least 50-80 high and sang the first part under red lights. He then (must have had an elevator in the stage) came down to stage floor to finish the song. Best song of the night and my favorite Stones song. Great music and incredible lyrics.
When did you see them John? It scares me to buy a ticket when they come here because they’re in their 70s. I’m not sure they’ll have the same kind of energy like Aerosmith when they come. A cpl of the new Stones songs sound pretty good.
I have moments where I ponder the idea that it's not Satan himself, it's God. God was also there for everything described, and he begins to list contrasting things like "every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints" and then says "as heads is tails just call me, Lucifer" All of those are contrasting opposites. That logically follows that his name is not Lucifer, but the opposite. After all, God is a jealous God and will do anything including threaten his children with eternal torment if he is not the focus of their adoration and praise.
I'll be going to see them in Las Vegas at Aligiant Stadium. It will be my 5th time seeing these cats, my wife's first. The best song on the new album is Sweet Sounds of Heaven which is a duet with Lady Gaga and accompanied with Stevie Wonder tickling the Ivory keys. There are two versions of the song, one is about 5 minutes and has a cool lyric video, but the 7 minute version is absolutely amazing. I have been a huge Stones fan for the better part of 40 years, and it has been a long long time since they have put out a truly great song, but this song is most definitely among the great Stones tunes of all time. A complete polar opposite of Sympathy for the Devil which happens to be my favorite song by the Rolling Stones. Enjoy the show, I cant wait. My mental health has been in shambles for the past five years but when I found out my wife scored tickets, my mental state has ticked upwards. You could literally do a top 100 songs by these guys and have to leave some amazing music off the list.
We have free will and choice. Evil can only tempt, it's up to someone to take the offer and actually DO evil. Which is why good even means anything. Good only matters because we choose it. Like the song says: Pilate, the Bolsheviks, the Axis powers, etc, all these people CHOSE to do evil. From leaders, down to cowards choosing to go along, or choosing to indulge evil temptations. The temptation is there, sure, but a person must decide to allow themselves to be tempted. Evil needs cooperation to bear fruit. There is always a choice to refuse. Even if it is with a weapon to one's neck. What is life worth if you throw away your soul in order to stay breathing? Not much. Might as well be a living corpse.
The early versions of it were very different, the recording of it was filmed. A local cinema ( movie theatre for Americans) uses a short clip from the film (of this song) as it used to be the recording studio where they made it. Olympic in Barnes, London,
A superficial take on the lyrics, hope you will read the comments and understand it was not the devil cause "after all it was you and me." That's why it's "Sympathy for the Devil" who gets blamed for the evil that humans choose to do.
Thanks for the video. I've seen so many breakdowns where listeners don't even realize Lucifer is telling the story until it's explicitly spelled out after the solo. Next, try the song My God by the band Jethro Tull on the album Aqualung. It has a similar theme but it's presented in a much different manner. If you don't know the band's style please don't read up on them. Allow yourself a real musical surprise, because Tull sounds nothing like any other band.

Did you know they did that "woo woo" thing exactly 666 times? I just counted it, trust me, I'm an honest liar. Guess my name anyone? (MOOHAHA) Or "WOOHAHA" in this case! Great song!
Would love to hear your take of "Bobby Brown Goes Down" By Frank Zappa. In the times we are living in lgbtq movement, our free speech is turning into you can say this but not that. Of course no one would stop Frank from saying any because they knew he would say it anyway. But I don't think it could be even recorded in today's world.
Hello! Could you react to AURORA's The Conflict of the Mind? It's their last song and it's very sad and I think it would have a very good analysis from you

You got it. The puppet master. The Devil doesn't need to control all. He just needs to control those with influence. Humanity has a hive mentality. They like to follow. So controlling the few will control the many.

Rolling Stone 👀🪨 remember sympathy for the devil hope you guess my name Lucifer Isaiah 14:12 equals Luke 1018 because of Revelation 12:7--9 ...star war .. maysin apron garden Gen 3:1 ....
Dude. I wanted to like you, I really did. But your Christian bias is off-putting. You're preaching obvious doctrine & proving you know basic Bible stories while missing the song's message. Ick. I listened through your whole video to see if you would finally understand the lyrics & apply psychology to them. Nope. Disappointing.
Brilliantly explained... The Devil didn't make you do anything... YOU did it. But he enjoyed it.
Or, the devil didn't do anything because he doesn't exist, and it's just human nature.
Great song, though. Great lyrics.
@@taz454 “The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist.”
@@swedenisthemotherland3952 To me it's an even greater trick to convince you that you are not responsible for your own actions.
@@marcelschellekens6386 You are responsible for letting the devil influence you when you could follow the words of God.
@@swedenisthemotherland3952 yeah, i'm an atheist, so, first convince me God does exist, before i follow a meta physical being.
"For the Gods they made"..... and ....."I'll tell you one time - You're to blame".
It means the devil did nothing. WE did it. And we know it.
Mick was 25 when they came out with this song. Just exceptional from such a young age.
I remember my dad trying to explain this song to me. When I got older and figured it out for myself I realized what a terrible job he did 😂
Looking forward to hearing how great of a time you had at the concert 😊
the bad comes from people. they made up the devil so they could avoid responsibility.
the devil didn't make anyone do anything. that's the point of the song. he says at the end " i tell ya one time you're to blame"
Right. We created the devil to rationalize the evil acts we commit.
The line that ties it all together is “I’ll tell you one time, you’re to blame”.
We do all those things and blame them on some made up devil so we never have to take responsibility for our own actions.
The devil is basically saying of all the sins he has done, man is not that innocent either, man has conspired with me, and has done far worse things, so please have some sympathy on me...
“Can’t you hear me knocking”, “It’s only rock and roll (but I like it)” are two of my favorites.
Weirdly enough it sounds like Lucifer playing the guitar solo. I literally can picture a red,pointy-tailed,horned and hoven Satan dancing around playing the solo on a Gibson SG.
Something tells me you’re an AC/DC fan 😅
@@georgedilligaf8570 Who isn't? I couldn't be friends with them😂
It happens to be Jimi Hendrix on the Gibson
The greatest trick humanity ever played was convincing itself that the Devil exists
the devil absolutely doesn't want you to believe he's real.
If you look closely at the lyrics here, you may come to realize that this song is NOT about the Devil.
"Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer"
If a cop is to a criminal, as a sinner is to a saint, and as heads is to tails, then Lucifer is to "God".
Hope you guess my name!
This song is about God.
Very clever lyrics.
The Devil is in each of us.
We choose how to express that possession, the song is not a worship to to the devil, it's a self introspection of us all.
Saw them do this song in Pittsburgh in 1989. Mick started at the top of the stage at least 50-80 high and sang the first part under red lights.

Let’s gooo my fav Stones song 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This one and paint it black

Facts 💯💯
He's pointing out the faults are within.
Great message. The alternative is to treat each other with respect and courtesy. Evil won't get a look-in.
One of the most important songs in the American songbook.
"So show some courtesy, some sympathy, and some taste.
And use all your well learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste"
Love The Rolling Stones seen them live it was great

Keith also played the Bass solo

It's like he is talking about the elites
Great reaction! I think a great Stones song for a therapist to react to is Waiting on a Friend.
How's everyone feeling out there???
I’m doing just fine my guy how are you?
What do you think about that one part where it says, tell you one time, you're to blame. 😮

The lyrics are riveting, but don't miss the drums. The Stones vacationed in Brazil just before this and brought the rhythms of samba back with them.
The early versions of it were very different, the recording of it was filmed. A local cinema ( movie theatre for Americans) uses a short clip from the film (of this song) as it used to be the recording studio where they made it. Olympic in Barnes, London,
The best Rolling Stones song. So clever, so much of a history lesson. Enjoy! 😎

"...You're to blame" Correct. Lucifer can only influence. If you give into temptation, that's on you.
