Early Stones is extraordinary. Charlie Watts owns this tune with his spectacular drumming. Great reaction gentlemen ☝️
Damn straight man!
Brian Jones sitar -1st rock sitar -honorable mention...
Spectacular drumming plus his castanets!
I'm 70 he could tear a drum set apart
There was no one else like Charlie Watts. ❤❤❤💥💥💥
The woman he loves has died "I see a line of cars and their all painted black, with flowers and my love both never to come back". Love the early Stones!!
Classic song, I think it was used in literally almost every movie about the Vietnam War.
For example, the closing credits of Full Metal Jacket.
I also remember it from the old TV series, 'Tour of Duty' - they used it during the introduction, if I recall correctly. The series also centered around the Vietnam War 😊
@@benofavalon7121 you are correct. I was somewhat young when that show was on and I can see the introduction in my head.
Charlie Watts was always the drummer from 1962 until he passed away in 2021
My parents tried to stop me from listening to the Stones. Said they were "dirty" . Imagine an 8 yr old walking around the house singing this. Obviously they didn't win.
I remember Frank Zappa mentioning the bass on this track. He said in the radio interview that he loved the way at the end of the track that the bass player Bill Wyman was just sliding his finger up and down the fretboard giving that WOW ,WOW sound.
The line of cars painted black, with his love never to come back
He is mourning.
When I heard this back in the day I knew I was a Stones guy more than a Beatles guy. This was devil music 😆
I was 6. I remember seeing the Beatles on TV and my mom said she liked them better then the Stones because "at least their hair is clean". I was a Rolling Stones fan ever since.
@@kraig7777 Lol, exactly
All the original rock n' rollers had faded away.....The Beatles had got stoned and were expanding everyone's minds.....and The Stones were hitting their stride too.....and the parents were shouting Lord Have Mercy, once again.😅
The drummer is Charlie Watts, the only drummer they ever had until he passed away a couple years ago - RIP Charlie.
Charlie and Brian OWNED this song. Amazing how Brian was able to pick up the sitar, an instrument he'd never seen, and begin playing it in a matter of minutes, then bring it to this song. The Beatles may have introduced the sitar sound to rock and roll, but this song was the best of the bunch in '66.
Brian (allegedly) studied sitar under Harihar Rao, the senior disciple of Ravi Shankar. But I think that might've been post-”Paint it Black,” which you correctly state is the most effective meshing of the Eastern instrument in popular music. I'd also say Bill’s Hammond Organ helps drive this song.
My favorite Stones song. Have to crank it every time. Brian Jones on the sitar and Charlie Watts drumming. Absolutely fantastic.
Great up-tempo psychedelic track! Dark. Bill Wyman on fretless bass.
And Hammond Organ!
Charlie Watts on drums, who would always say he was a Jazz drummer, not a Rock drummer. Great bass work from Bill Wyman, and Brian Jones playing sitar instead of his usual guitar.
This is from a period when Rock was looking into other musical forms for wider inspiration. Sitar from Indian music, or The Yardbirds using Gregorian chants into songs like Still I'm Sad.
After both The Beatles (Norwegian Wood) and The Stones featured sitar in their music, almost everybody else began to copy them.
Beatles were the good boys !
The Rolling Stones were the bad boys !
……..in the late 60’s ! ❤️🔥🎸😎
RIP Charlie Watts!!! Drummer of the Stones!!!
Yes it was the 60's---man we had a lot of AMAZING bands. Jeez we were lucky. Just to say guys... one of you mentioned that our parents back then would say "don't listen to that music".... ( The Stones )...anyway.... a singer from the early 70s--Kris Kristofferson--wrote a song called "Blame it on The Stones"--Good song--because it was true--all our parents would say they're listening to them Rolling Stones again--if we were in trouble.--The Stones made us do it. Anyway, you should check it out--you guys will love it.
One of the greatest rock/pop songs ever put to vinyl
The Brian Jones era of the Stones, loved that time.
Stones are my favorite band, but for me the Mick Taylor years are the pinnacle of their greatness
Brian on the Sitar
@@mrkleen9511 Brian certainly loved to experiment with exotic instruments and he was quite good at playing them too.
Me too.
@@Gordy63Taylor era for sure. The Jones era stuff has not aged well. This song has but Satanic Majesties Request was weak and Jones was barely a factor on Banquet where they found their footing. Exile and Sticky Fingers are masterpieces that could not have happened with Jones
Parents saying “don’t listen to that”. Is spot on hilarious. Peace from 🇨🇦.
Mick was only 22 when this was recorded. Brian had just turned 24. Pretty sophisticated stuff. The song spent 10 weeks at #1 on the UK pop charts and 2 in the USA. People got it!
The original Stones is like nothing else. Jagger, Jones, Richards, Watts, Wyman.
Brian Jones sitar on this is incredible
Brian on the Sitar is chilling. Great song
You're right about the war movie; it was used in Full Metal jacket, as well as several other movies. It's a song about grief after the death of a loved one; hence the lines about the funeral: a line of cars painted black.
Keep them Stones coming!!!
This Senior Citizen Classic Rock Connoisseur sums it up like this.... The Beatles - Greatest Musical Group Of All Time.... The Rolling Stones - Greatest Rock & Roll Band Of All Time.... the rest were all trying to be them.
Killer early stones! You guys should check Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out, 1970 live album recorded during their 1969 tour. They sound incredible on it
One of the best live albums for sure.
For contrast they should start with the TAMI Show performance from 1964 (should also see James Brown from the same show), then jump to the Rock And Roll Circus video from 1968 where they already look completely different.
It would be nice if a reactor channel traced the remarkable evolution of the Stones from the beginning of 1963-64 to at least the early 1980s in chronological order.
I was born April 17th 1954.... The same month and year as Rock N Roll.... Lucky me.
Charlie Watts was one of the few drummers Ginger Baker (Cream, Blind Faith etc) had a kind word for...also, Brian Jones was sort of the John Paul Jones of the Stones....he was a multi instrumentalist (him playing those Eastern style tunings)....very underrated player an early member of the 27 club
Used in the film, "Full Metal Jacket" in the closing credits
Classic early Stones played constantly on my sister's system.
The influence of different cultures is so crisp, from decades ago. 😮
Love it when La's just goes, you know he's groovin and Mr Che, cool as ever, your expression comes in powerful words. Enjoyable every time. ❤
One of their finest songs!
Paint it black was used as the opening theme music for the T.V. show Tour of duty in the late 80’s
Yep, the sixties. Loved it when it first came out. Strange to think some people associate it with a tv show. I read somewhere that this song was about how Jagger felt after a death of someone close to him. One of my favorite Stones song ...and albums.
I love the Brian Jones era of the stones! Obviously they were great after his era but there was a real different feel to them early on
The 60s vibe is from the east Indian sound. A lot of English rock bands were heavily influenced by it. The Indian visual and musical aesthetic is also largely responsible for the late 60s early 70s hippie counterculture movement.
The Stones like the Beatles during those days were larger than life, for sure!
Paint It Black was used in the movie Full Metal Jacket in the closing credits and in the opening credits of the series Tour of Duty.
The Stones have always been a bucket-list concert for me. I get to check it off the list tomorrow in Houston! Thanks for the reaction, bros.
Ruby Tuesday, She's a Rainbow, 2000 Light Years, all old and great. The singer from the Movie "The Commitments" sang as a guest with the Stones. Play "The Commitments" doing "Mustang Sally" or "The Dark End of the Street." (start that song at :40 because of bad words,) The original Mustang Sally was and is one of my favorites.
Stones got HUGE quickly for a reason.
Number 1 song all places in the world 1966
The Stones at their peak of pop creativity.
You're about 5 years off...
The Big Push did an absolutely phenomenal live version of this on the street. I highly recommend checking it out. It really is spectacular and well worth your time.
This was the first record I ever bought. It was a 45 RPM.
This is early, relatively pop-y RSs, at the dawn of psychedelia--hence the Indian instruments. It is one of many classics from this period: Under My Thumb, Get Off Of My Cloud, Satisfaction, Play With Fire, etc, all worth reactions.
I appreciate you, La and Che.
Gimme Shelter. 👍🏻
One of their two or three best tracks EVER without any single doubt. Summer of 1966.
How could you not know who the late great Charlie Watts is?
Great reactions! Try some of their darker songs. Sister morphine, down in the hole, laugh I nearly died or blinded by rainbows. All great musically and lyrically. Keep up the good work!
I'm surprised you guys didn't get confused because the drums are all panned to one side and the guitars are all panned to the other. 😄
Wife here . Guys listen to these you’ll love them .Time Waits for no one., Memory motel , Hand of Fate, Shattered, wild horses, Angie , dead flowers , Sway.
The 1990s era television show called Tour of Duty, about the Vietnam war, used this song as the opening music theme for the show every week.
Top 3 Stones song for me and it was the theme song for the criminally short lived tv show from the late 80s Tour of Duty.
If that show had come along in the Sopranos era of tv it would’ve lasted 5+ seasons and won so many Emmys.
This and Gimme Shelter remain my favorite Stones songs. Thanks for the reaction!
In the 80's, I knew a teenage girl who said she wanted to have this as her wedding song one day 🤔🤔🤔 I wonder if it ever came to be. I ❤ you two😘
Greatest Rock n Roll band ever 🤘🤘
Sorry, I think The Who is better.
I love The Stones and The Who, but for me, it’s forever and always Zeppelin for the title.
Please do “Shattered” from Some Girls album- I think you would love it
What does it matter?
Very under appreciated song, Shattered. Probably my fave off of Some Girls.
Their best song imo. Also one of the first with sitar. The Kinks already wrote a drone song with See my Friends, but didn't use a sitar. Jeff Beck wrote Heart Full of Soul with a very similar riff like the one Brian is using here for sitar (there is a demo recording of it) but used the guitar in the final version. So it was George Harrison in the end introducing a properly played sitar in Lennon's Norwegian Wood. He was the first one in the British scene to discover it while filming Help in a scene where an Indian group is playing A Hard Day's Night on classical Indian instruments. He later learned to play the instrument properly by his friend Ravi Shankar.
Anyway regarding the lyrics: it's about the protagonist's dead girlfriend. Since she passed away he only sees black. This is also borrowed by a Beatles song from 2 years earlier "Baby's in Black" but there the boyfriend of the love interest of the protagonist was passing away and she doesn't want anything to do with him as she is still suffering from the loss. Depeche Mode borrowed heavily from it 20 years later with Dressed in Black.
When this came out my father said you can't listen to this band. But it's okay to listen to The Beatles
The Beatles had Tomorrow Never Knows, the Stones had Paint It Black and Donovan had Season of the Witch. 1966 was THE year of revolutionary change in music. Though Dylan did announce the revolution two or three years earlier than that. It just took the other boys a little longer to catch up.
CBS used this song as the show open for a short lived Vietnam series, Tour Of Duty.
This song has been used in a ton of films, but it was probably most notably used by Stanley Kubrick at the end of his film over a black screen into the credits for the film Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Charlie's drumming just absolutely slays me on this. But when I first heard it in junior high I identified with it more emotionally and just feeling the physical groove of it.
This was early Stones when all 5 original members where there. Charlie Watts was the drummer. Keith Richards and Brian Jones on guitar with Bill Wyman on bass guitar and of course Mick Jagger vocal. Brian Jones died in 69 and was replaced by Mick Taylor who stayed with them for 4-5 years and then he was replaced by Ronnie Wood in about 75 - and then those 5 stayed together for about the next 30 years until Bill Wyman retired and then about 5 years ago Charlie Watts died. So the only 2 original members are Jagger and Richards and they've been together for over 60 years.
Get off of my cloud was another big song but got overshadowed by satisfaction
“This must have blown ppl away… it did!” 🔥
Iconic
A great piece of early Stones perfection
Thank you for reacting to this, one of my favorite Stones songs. I was 12 when this came out.
I'll be in Vegas seeing the Rolling Stones in a couple of weeks for the 9th time.
❤❤❤
So thankful my parents loved this stuff and passed it on to little me.
You Bros. have a higher like to view ratio than any other reactors I watch... Strong work.
'Mothers little helper' from the same album also hits hard with some dark subject matter. At this point in history I would say they were in their youthful energetic proto-heavy stage before becoming the more easier to swallow top-40 behemoths in the 70's/80's.
The woman of the Night
You are correct, it did indeed blow me away when I first heard this song. You can't imagine how powerful and unique this sound was back in the day, when I was a young teen. Great reaction as usual! Thank you!
When I saw them last year in Atlanta, they played Paint it Black
His girlfriend died. That’s why he’s depressed. No one’s parents told us not to listen to this song. It was just about a guy mourning a girl’s death.😢
I listened to this for years before I figured this out. In fact I think I was listening to a cover version when it clicked.
@@nazfrde The _Staring into the setting sun_ line is bang on - I did all kinds of crazy superstitious antics whilst grieving.
Sure sounds like a lot more than mourning. Mourning doesn't cause a heart to turn black or to get dark thoughts when looking at girls in summer dresses.
@@324cmac Wow, way to miss the point! It's about looking round at everyone enjoying life and not understanding why they're not aware that life has ended and it'll never be the same again - that's how grief tears you up!
There are plenty of people whose parents told them not to listen to the Stones, this song included.
This was used as the theme song for the tv show Tour of Duty which was about the Vietnam War. It's also used as the background music for a lot of UA-cam videos about that war
such a good song. CLASSIC. Drummer is Charlie Watts.
RIght on point with the 60s sound. When you listen to enough music you can start pointing out with decent accuracy the era/decade it was made in, possibly also from the production and recording sound as well. Cracking me up with the parents saying "don't listen to that!" LOL! Every generation can relate to that. When my best friend and I bought a Siouxsie and the Banshees record our parents lost it - "What is THIS!!???????" Sometimes you had to hide records for your parents own good. 🤣 Great reaction as always!!
The TV show, Tour of Duty, used this song as the theme song.
Still my favourite Stones tune.
I was in grammar school when this song was released in the spring of 1966.
After hearing it for the first time I officially became a Stones fan.
Almost 60 years later and I’m still listening to them and this is still my favorite song of theirs.
Thanks for the tunes and memories, fellas!
Of all the great ones the Stones had in the early days Paint It Black has always been my go to song to get me going.
RIP Charlie. ❤
It takes you by suprise because the tempo is so upbeat but the song is about bereavement black being the traditional colour of mourning ,. he is bereft because his girlfriend has died that is why he can't look at the girls in summer clothes - nothing untoward going on. If you read the lyrics it will be clear. The song was a viretnam era favourite with obvious significance . It was the theme song for tour of duty amongst others things.
One of The Stones best of that era!From the mid 1960’s to the early 1970’s The Rolling Stones had one great song after another!
Don’t know if you’ve done it, but Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is awesome!
It's in Full Metal Jacket.
Song plays at the ending credits of Full Metal Jacket and the 1999 movie with Kevin Bacon Stir of Echoes
one of my fav tunes
Excellent reaction to an excellent song, fellas 👏 ❤😊
My brother played this album to death haha Mom and dad just tuned everything out as to our music. Or that's my memory. They were hard workers and had six kids, maybe that's why. Great reaction to a great song!
Keith with the relentless acostic assault at the end. Mick's lyrics top notch. Brian Jones just picks up a sitar and boom! Have u ever seen a sitar? Unreal.
They're very difficult to tune. So, for the Stones’ 1967 European Tour, Jones had a special electric dulcimer created called the “vox bijou.” This rendered Jones the ability to play songs like “Paint it Black” and “Lady Jane” without having to use different instruments that required more intricate tuning.
This is the first single I remember. I was 4. I played my oldest brothers records and he still has them. Stupid Girl was on the other side. But I remember Under My Thumb being my favorite as a tike.
Under my thumb👍🏻Still a great song!
Best Stones song, any era imo.
La ... always fun to see you get lost in the groove. Charlie Watts was their drummer (recently passed) ... he was so good for them because he was a jazz dude by training and YOU would especially enjoy his approach--NOT traditional rock.
I'm going to keep recommending. Wild Horses and (buckle up for) Stop Breakin' Down (Robert Johnson tune taken to a whole new place; off of Exile On Main Street)--its one wild ride.
This is great as is Eric Burdon’s cover with the Animals. ❤
no, the only song my teachers didn't let us play at school was "brown sugar" 1972.
I keep asking for it and I'll continue, check out the song (the title track from the album), Let It Bleed. It's amazing, I know you'll love it!
If u watched the tv show Wednesday, she plays this on her cello. Plus it was a song u got to play in Guitar Hero 3 (pretty sure it was 3)
all time classic! ♥
