  • Mini-documentary about "Jumpin' Jack Flash", one of the greatest and most iconic singles of all time. The single was released on the 25th of May, 1968. B-side was "Child of the Moon", a great song as well. The mini-documentary not only focuses on the story of the song but also on what the press and the Rolling Stones themselves said or thought about the song around the time the single was released. "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was the beginning of a new era for the Stones.
    Hope you dig it!

    While travelling down from London to Brighton in 1968 With my sisters and Mum, every time we stopped at a cafe I would put 2 old shillings into every juke box that I came across, you could get 3 plays and every time I would select Jumping Jack Flash, 3 plays, constantly. I was 14 at the time. Great iconic track, my favourite all time Rolling Stones record. Brilliant. Memories for ever.

      @@Methilde They had a pop phase (and a brilliant one, at that) during 1966-67 but yeah, their initial run of hits in 1964-65 ("Last Time", "Satisfaction", "Get Off My Cloud") was rock and roll for sure. In one sense JJF was them getting back to that sound but in another sense it was an advancement; you can even still hear some of the sonic experimentation of "Satanic Majesties" at the close. It was unique.

    I'm now 71, and I'd lost a bit of interest in the Stones before this came out, The Small Faces were my band,
    but this, with that superb demo film that accompanied it, depicted the Stones at their raunchy, decadent best.

      This is when the Stones totally surpassed them. The Beatles couldn't play live after 66 and The Stones were so good live. "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" vs Beatles on the roof. Not even close. Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock and Roll were all sooo good. Compare the 70s Stones to all The Fabs solo albums with the albums I mentioned above. I love The Beatles, but It's really no contest. And you have to remember how much better the Stones songs were all live. Midnight Rambler for example became a completely different song with Mick Taylor playing lead and how Keith chugged the riffs out. Really the best way to compare them is Beatles roof top and if you want a visual of Stones, watch Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones (72) It actually will make you feel bad for John, George and Ringo, because The Beatles are Amazing and I love Harrison and Lennon. I understand why Ringo is actually a great drummer. The bassist (lol) was really good at playing his bass and singing and he wrote "Yesterday." But Keith and Mick Taylor with Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman who was a superior bassist. I'm not comparing the guitarists. They all were PERFECT at what they did back then. Harrison isn't a lead guitar virtuoso like Taylor but Taylor can't write as good songs as George. But Harrison's guitar solos are brilliant and perfect for the songs. Man...music was so good. What happened? 😔

Saw the Stones once in 1981 in the Houston Astrodome...wonderful rocking show. Mick Jagger is a great frontman and showman. But the Beatles are still legendary...half a century after their last show together. The Stones themselves know those Liverpool dudes are their only competition in rock/pop history. Maybe Zeppelin, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Who, etc. Just a couple of steps above the rest.

      It proved to me that John was really a weak and gullible human being!
      He threw his wife and son under the bus and left them chump change! He eventually signed over power of attorney to Yoko Ono and she now controls all his wealth!

      The first record I ever owned, as a 6 year old, was The Beatles' I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There in 1964.
      Mick Jagger was extremely generous in giving Yoko Ono a spot on the Rock 'n' Roll Circus!

    As a fan of the novels 'On the Road' as well as other works of the Beat's it's apparent to this listener that the words to this song are a homage to the story that Neal Cassady told about his birth and family while the chorus is a nod to Jack Kerouac and his penchant for the drug known informally as 'speed'. May I qualify this by admitting that art is in the eye or ear of the beholder. This is what the tune says to me. I never trust anything that any artist says about their art...the point is that you get from it what it says to you. I think much, not all, of the Stones art is somewhat related to the Beats as well as other books and novels. Satisfaction is another tune that is also an homage to Neal Cassady, again to this listener.

    Jumping Jack Flash is undoubtedly one of the best tracks from The Stones ever - for me in fact THE best of the pure rock songs. And it might be the single that saved their career. Had they put another sloppy single out after the rather unfocused Satanic Majesties album the future could have looked rather bleak. Would they have been able to find the focus we now know as the Beggars Banquet album after yet another bad reception? We can only guess about that...
    Psychedelia wasn’t really for The Stones but off cause they had to try it to find out. You can still hear psychedelic influences on Child Of The Moon, still it’s a very strong track . Unbelievable that they didn’t include it on Satanic Majesties, would have lifted the quality level considerably. But again, it might have been in another arrangement then.
    I would pay almost anything to travel back in time and watch that NME concert. The Stones look unbelievably cool as if the have already found their self confidence again here, following the drug bust and all that. Interesting to hear that they were in fact rather surprised about the reception themselves.

    I heard that Bill Wyman created the riff of Jumpin'Jack flash, jamed it with Charlie Watts in the studio. Keith and Mick came along, liked it and developped the definitive version of the song. And that there is an argument among the Stones about that. Who knows the truth ?

    • @scottythetrex5197
      @scottythetrex5197 3 роки тому +2

      Keith says he wrote it with Mick at Redlands. I believe him. The main riff to JJF sounds like nothing Wyman did before or since. He wrote Satisfaction in reverse? I don't buy it. I think he may have written the lead riff that comes in at the end.

      @@scottythetrex5197 The archetype of British hard-rock riff is from the Kinks on You really got me in 1964, ahead of its time. The great riff the Who made in the end of 1966 on Pictures of Lily is a remake of the Kinks one. More original, on Taxman, the Beatles made a sort of crossover between a riff and a strong obsessive bass line. Very impressive and innovative for proto-metal hard-rock was the long and complex riff of the Yardbirds on Stroll on, not the early version, rather dull, but the December 1966 Beck-Page version in Antonioni’s film “Blow up”. JJF reminds a little bit of Satisfaction, but the riff on that 1965 song was a little bit to “thin” in its execution, it never really convinced me, neither the too simple My generation from the Who, I always preferred The Good’s gone and The Kids are alright on the same debut LP.

      JJF was an immense improvement compared to Satisfaction and probably the best riff of all times worldwide. It corresponds to the talent and style of Keith. But Bill, unlike Brian Jones, was a composer too. He was evidently inspired by Keith’s style. So it is not impossible that he contributed to the birth of JJF. There are in fact TWO complementary riffs in JJF : fundamental hard introduction + more swingin’ main part. So Bill may have been the creator of one and Keith of the other. Sometimes truth lies in the middle. Why should Bill have lied ? Two riffs in one song, that is rather unusual and can be the sign of two composers. Keith took allot of drugs and alcohol, his memory may have been affected.
      All American hard-rock riffs are more or less inspired by the British style: for instance 1968 Kick out he Jams from MC5, certainly the best sixties hard-rock tune from the USA, has parts from the Kinks, The Stones, The Who, The Yardbirds… MC5 recognized that they were inspired by the Stones.

    Everyone loves to pick on HSMR, but "2,000 Lightyears From Home", which Mic reportedly wrote in Brixton Prison, is one of my favorite 'Stone's songs, and one of the scariest songs, of all time. Jumping Jack Flash was a very good pop song, but for better or worse, very ordinary. I tended to listen to the radio on and off during the late 1960s (when I was 7 or 8), so the first version I remember noticing was the live Leon Russel version from the Concert for Bangladesh.

    The heavy typical Stones sound with powerful cult riffs was born in fact in 1967 on the Satanic Majesty album, especially on Citadel, but on other songs too. That album was fantastic, 2000 Light yaers, Sh’es a rainbow, etc. even if some more basic Stone fans didn’t like it. Earlier in summer 1967, the We love you single already took that direction, maybe the birth song of modern Rolling Stones sound/approach, with climaxes later like Citadel, Jumpin’ Jack Flash or Gimme shelter.

Not sad but overwhelming in a personal, picture album way. Go Charlie! Go be beautiful somewhere else!

      I think Bill claimed he wrote the main riff. Who knows? Maybe he did come up with the riff. However, I will say I'm a bit suspicious about his claim in this case. The JJF riff sounds like the kind of riff that would come up after experimenting with open E tuning. I play guitar myself and all these open tunings, due to the way the guitar is tuned, almost instinctively lead you into certain chord changes, chord sequences or melodies and the JJF riff sounds like the kind of riff Keith would come up with while playing guitar in open E. Just my two cents.
