I've listened to this song hundreds of times and tried to 'isolate' each instrument as I listen........every single instrument is played brilliantly......and the vocals fantastic too. A truly great rock song.....and all about wet dreams.
I think that the era that Mick Taylor was in the band was its most creative and inventive...after he left the Stones became a 'brand' complete with logo and serving up the same ol' reconstituted product. I saw them in '65, '66, and '72 so I caught them in their golden era and really noticed how standardized their music eventually became to the point where I was disappointed if someone gave me the latest Stones album as a present. The old saying is that "a rolling stone gathers no moss" but it sure gathered a lot of greenbacks!
The whole album is really good and it isn't like anything else by the Stones or anybody else. Exile on Main Street isn't a perfect album but to me it's always been the most rewarding and the one I come back to most for decades now. If you want a perfect album by them that would be Sticky Fingers from 1971.
Strong agree! Exile on Main Street is unique in the way each song flows into the next, making the whole much more than the sum of its amazing parts. Everyone who knows this masterpiece has a favorite deep cut or two. Mine are Casino Boogie and Ventilator Blues.
This is a very average Stones song. Almost a country music tune. Probably would be #1 Country Music hit today. But it was very average to my ears. At best. No need to hear it again.
@@Greg-io1ip Album Exile on Mainstreet had a lot of country songs.. Stones are one of greatest country bands along with Rock n Roll this album is considered their very best ..
It's springtime 1972. I'm 22 and come home with this DOUBLE album. I put the first disc on the stereo record player, put on my enormous but "mighty fine" headphones, drop the needle, and THIS is the first song. Daaaaayam! Could NOT tear me away from that record player for hours. A masterpiece of an album.
If you listen carefully to Keith’s opening riff you can hear how his fingers make that slight screech as he lazily slides his fingers to the next cord. Usually guitarists try to avoid that noise and if unavoidable they try to edit it out or bury it in the mix. Not on this gritty basement home studio recording. It’s clearly heard. I look forward to hearing it every time I hear the opening cords. It’s part of the whole gritty humid basement home studio recording sound while they drink big bottles of jack Daniel’s all day. Then when everyone goes home exhausted Keith stays up all night on coke and or heroin coming up with whole new riffs and complete songs. People would come into the basement the next morning thinking Keith’s up early. He never went to bed. He’d actually be up for 2/3 days no sleep making music and recording. This album is the definition of rock n roll.
Heroin, sex, rock and roll. "The sunshine bores the daylights out of me." One of the best lines ever. Thanks for reacting to this. I have never heard another "rocks off" reaction
"Rip This Joint" is about three minutes of the most frenzied pulse-raising jamming ever! "Ruby Tuesday" is one of the most mellow, wistful songs ever. The Stones didn't f*ck around, they just did it all, and most all of it very well.
Yesssss! Great pick! This song kicks off one of the best double records of all time 👍 "the sunshine bores the daylights out of me" ; ) Next up......SHATTERED!!!!!
My favorite Stones record after Sticky Fingers. They took all their influences from blues, country and soul and made the perfect love letter to American music. Can't wait till you guys hit Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, Happy and Shine a Light.
I was so into the Stones as a teen, my friends called me "stones". This is one of my fav albums!!! I love every album before "Some Girls". Their album "Between The Buttons" is an early lp with Brian Jones. Great album too. I have a lot of Rolling Stones books, mags and posters!
Bobby Keys (sax) will get discussed more because of his long tenure with the Stones, but Jim Price (trumpet and trombone), as both a player and arranger, was such an integral piece in the brassy sounds of Sticky Fingers and Exile.
The Stones at the height of their debauchery in the South of France. This album was mixed with the band being more up front than Jagger. I wore out 3 copies by 79.
Great stuff guys. That killer song is the opening track to their EXILE ON MAIN ST album, which was a double LP released in 1972. It's arguably not just the Stones greatest piece of work but also the greatest rock and roll album ever made. It's got it all: rock, rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, blues, country, soul, and even a little gospel.
Definitely feel free to do the whole album!! I'd like to jump in, tho, and recommend "Loving Cup." Gorgeous piano, vocals, and lyrics. Keep up the spectacular work!
Best opening to a song ever . Love you Mick 4 Ever & Ever ❤❤❤❤ My fav lyric of all time is , The Sunshine bores the Daylights out of me . Chasing Shadows Moonlight Mystery. Ugh !!! FREAKING CHILLS ❤
As I mentioned before, the piano player on this as well as most stones tracks from " She's A Rainbow" to "Angie" and most everything in between was Nicky Hopkins. You'll also hear him on the 1st Jeff Beck Group Albums with Rod Stewart, early to mid-period Kinks albums, The Who both early period and even "Who's Next", The single version of The Beatles "Revolution" all before he moved to the U.S. where he continued with, The Steve Miller Band, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jerry Garcia etc. The work he did on John Lennon's "Imagine" album is amazing. But then most of what he did was.
The band actually didn’t follow the drummer like other bands. They followed Keith and that’s why they were always on the brink of falling apart. Always playing just behind the beat. Nobody sounds like them
I’ve put this album thousands of times, and I think I can count on one hand the number of instances that I was doing something my parents would have approved of.
For something really different by them, try “she’s a rainbow”. Definite old skool vibes with this one. Exile on Main St is arguably their most authentic album. Delta blues given a complete refit
This is mellow compared to the next one! Rip This Joint! Epic album. Probably my all time number one album…by anyone. It has everything from the blues of Casino Boogie, Sweet Virginia, Ventilator Blues and Stop Breaking Down to straight ahead rock and roll of this, Rip This Joint, Soul Survivor and All Down the Line to gospel infused tracks like Shine a Light and Let it Loose.
Love this song and the Stones. Do some of their live album called “Get Yer Ya Yas Out” Sympathy for the Devil on that is amazing. Their cover of Chuck Berrys “Carol” is so good too and “Midnight Rambler “ !!
AirPlay Beats La & Che are enthusiastic and really into all good music. I love these guys, even when they are blowing flowers up the skirt of stinkers like this one !!! This is a dog of a song. I would add "in my opinion", but it's not necessary.
I only really love 5 songs from this album, and this isn't one them. But it's possible I could change my mind if I'm not listening on my tablet next time. And it took me hell of a long time before those 5 songs clicked for me.
There is a lot of great stuff going on in this song. Several great musicians going at it. Exile On Main Street is my all time favorite album and I believe their best work, overall. The Stones were on fire from 68-78.
Nicky Hopkins (1944-1994)- piano. If you're doing this whole album.......this is one of those albums that you experience differently as you mature......it came out when I was 12.....every time I listen I hear something miraculous that I missed in EVERY previous listen.......'Let it Loose' was one of those miracles. I don't think I ever actually heard it until I was in my late 40s! Then I was like 10 tons of bricks.....like HOW the F*** did I not hear this!?!
Exile on Main Street is about as legendary as albums get, not only because of it’s gritty, garage band sound throughout but also because of where the Stones were on their path through rock ‘n roll history. Other great tracks on this album are Shine a Light and Loving Cup. Then there’s Happy, which Keith Richards recorded in one take after writing it that very morning. But then, if you want to experience The Rolling Stones in their full grandeur, you should check other tunes where they stretch their repertoire and try different sounds, like As Tears Go By, Emotional Rescue, Lady Jane, Prodigal Son, Beast of Burden, and of course, Miss You. There’s so many different sounds and layers to the Stones, the more you explore, the more astounded you’ll be.
Awesome tune off what many call the greatest rock ‘n roll album ever made. I can’t disagree - actually I’d say it’s a tie between Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers! So many classics off Exile. One of my favorites is a deep cut called Ventilator Blues. That one really shows the Stones deep roots in the blues and it is really gritty, which is just what you want from a Stones banger!
Forgot about this one, never even knew the title, and thanks for bringing it back. Hey - yesterday was great, smashed the likes on everything, but the comments wouldn't go through!
Now, at age 58, I appreciate the Rolling Stones SO much more than I did as a youngster. This song seems to be a version of the new "Glam Rock" that surfaced in the early 70's with bands like The New York Dolls.
My take is The Stones being one of the first British RnR acts to wear makeup (in the later 60's, following the lead of Brian Jones), they influenced the later Glam scene...Bowie, Dolls, etc. The Glam scene really took off w/Bowie's Ziggy Stardust l.p. in June '72...same year as Exile, released a month before, in May. The next Stones record (Goats Head Soup) in '73 is them 1st reacting to a burgeoning Glam scene they'd helped generate. You're an l.p early. Pretty close!
"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me." Love that line!
"If I could only get some more"
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and tried to 'isolate' each instrument as I listen........every single instrument is played brilliantly......and the vocals fantastic too. A truly great rock song.....and all about wet dreams.
The Stones at the creative apex. Killer album. Mick Taylor was a real asset, and the horns are icing on the cake!
I think that the era that Mick Taylor was in the band was its most creative and inventive...after he left the Stones became a 'brand' complete with logo and serving up the same ol' reconstituted product. I saw them in '65, '66, and '72 so I caught them in their golden era and really noticed how standardized their music eventually became to the point where I was disappointed if someone gave me the latest Stones album as a present. The old saying is that "a rolling stone gathers no moss" but it sure gathered a lot of greenbacks!
The classic Stone Album.
First of 18 great songs on the greatest rock ‘n’ roll record ever made “Exile on Main Street.” Just keep going.
Great song to start the day, but you spoke over the best line ... "The sunshine bores the daylights out of me"
I know, they missed it!
They also missed my favorite line.
"Cuz I cum every time that she pirouettes over me."😊

This Stones sound is not good compared to Sticky
Its boring
I disagree. It’s perfect
It is about a perfect as it gets. A double album that is flawless. Few single albums in the history of rock can be said to be flawless.
Double album with at least ten A-list Stones songs. Keith is at his riff peak.
B list ain’t too shabby either
This is a very average Stones song. Almost a country music tune. Probably would be #1 Country Music hit today. But it was very average to my ears. At best. No need to hear it again.
@@Greg-io1ip Album Exile on Mainstreet had a lot of country songs.. Stones are one of greatest country bands along with Rock n Roll this album is considered their very best ..
@@Greg-io1ip That's too bad because they were at their country rock finest on this double album, this song included.
@@sheila1965troubles there 2 types of Stones fans .. the greatest hits fans and the deep cuts fans and Exile is definitely for the deep cuts fans

Not only the best Stones record, but the best rock record ever made. Can't wait to see these reactions.

It was punk before punk!!
When a group is so legendary, you forget all about a song as great as this one for a number of years. Thanks.
Charlie Watts is just so damn good on this song.
Could not agree more, this would be a fun one to learn.
To me, this is their masterpiece😎👍
You could listen to The Stones all day, and your ears would melt off from the variety of music and production that these boys throw at you. 🔥
Correct
1972 was definitely one of the best years for rock music.
The whole double album is awesome from start to finish, keep this groove going, guys!
This is my favourite band, and one of my favourite songs. I love that you guys are giving yourselves the opportunity to appreciate them!
The opening track of one of the greatest albums ever, Exile on Main Street.
This is from my fav Stones album! The peak of their “bad boys” times - a rep they truly deserve!
Mick Taylor! Bobby Keys! Oh ya!
Peace
Yesssss! Great pick! This song kicks off one of the best double records of all time 👍 "the sunshine bores the daylights out of me" ; )
Next up......SHATTERED!!!!!
Shattered? You are kidding right?
@bobguitarlearner8007 one of the best jams they ever recorded....or let me guess: "Some girls isn't real stones" ?
I love this song so much. Killer rock tune.
The whole album is 🔥! Great reaction!
Some great lyrics in there too, "The sunshine bores the daylights out me."
Thanks for sharing.
My favorite Stones record after Sticky Fingers. They took all their influences from blues, country and soul and made the perfect love letter to American music. Can't wait till you guys hit Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, Happy and Shine a Light.
I would add Loving Cup but oh yeah, all great songs.
Also, Torn and Frayed, Let it Loose and All Down the Line.
The did Tumblin Dice already ( one of my favs too)
@@Lusie828 that's right, I forgot. They should really do full album listen for Exile. And finish off Sticky Fingers.
couldn't agree more!@@edwardsighamony
Stones!! Way to go guys! A++
I was so into the Stones as a teen, my friends called me "stones". This is one of my fav albums!!! I love every album before "Some Girls". Their album "Between The Buttons" is an early lp with Brian Jones. Great album too. I have a lot of Rolling Stones books, mags and posters!
One of my favs! So good!!!
This is a Top-3 RS song for me. This album was badly panned when it was released but is now recognized as the classic that it is.
I love so much about this song: the vibe, the layered guitars , the lyrics, the way Keith’s vocals are layered over Mick’s
Love this song!
Love that guitar at the very end in the background
Yeah, I’ve always assumed it was Mick Taylor going off noodling a solo
One of their best albums, by far ✌️
I love the Stones! Just love them and this album may be the best! Great reaction guys as usual! Piss & vinegar rock & roll!
Bobby Keys (sax) will get discussed more because of his long tenure with the Stones, but Jim Price (trumpet and trombone), as both a player and arranger, was such an integral piece in the brassy sounds of Sticky Fingers and Exile.
The Stones at the height of their debauchery in the South of France. This album was mixed with the band being more up front than Jagger. I wore out 3 copies by 79.
You are 💯 that this sounds fresh as hell fifty years later
Saw them on this (EXILE on Main Street) tour. FANTASTIC!!!!!
Great stuff guys. That killer song is the opening track to their EXILE ON MAIN ST album, which was a double LP released in 1972. It's arguably not just the Stones greatest piece of work but also the greatest rock and roll album ever made. It's got it all: rock, rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, blues, country, soul, and even a little gospel.
The sunshine bores the daylights out meeee!!!!!!!!
drips with the debauchery... brilliant
Nicky Hopkins was the best rock n roll piano player
Such a great tune.
First song of their best album, most of which was recorded in Keith Richards’ basement. Just keep going, please!
ALL DOWN THE LINE or "HAPPY" with KEEF on lead vocals!
Definitely feel free to do the whole album!! I'd like to jump in, tho, and recommend "Loving Cup." Gorgeous piano, vocals, and lyrics. Keep up the spectacular work!
I have a new appreciation for the stones hearing your reactions they are truly great I love your station
Best opening to a song ever . Love you Mick 4 Ever & Ever ❤❤❤❤ My fav lyric of all time is , The Sunshine bores the Daylights out of me . Chasing Shadows Moonlight Mystery. Ugh !!! FREAKING CHILLS ❤
Soul music. ❤

But then most of what he did was.
If you want to hear Nicky let loose listen to the album Let it Rock Jerry Garcia Band
Allegedly Keith Richards came up with that introductory riff when everybody had called it a day and he was alone . Keep it up guys ! You know music !
"....the sunshine bores the daylights outta me...."
This is an all-time Stones song. Love it. legendary album.
For me the key here is Charlie Watts killin' it back on the drum kit - driving the bus!!!
The band actually didn’t follow the drummer like other bands. They followed Keith and that’s why they were always on the brink of falling apart. Always playing just behind the beat. Nobody sounds like them
One of my favorites
"Torn and frayed' is a great clip on this album. New to your channel love your reactions, to songs I grew up on,!!
Exile is my favourite Stones album.
Love the respect you guys always give the Stones. Me too. ❤
I’ve put this album thousands of times, and I think I can count on one hand the number of instances that I was doing something my parents would have approved of.
For something really different by them, try “she’s a rainbow”.
Definite old skool vibes with this one. Exile on Main St is arguably their most authentic album. Delta blues given a complete refit
One of their top 5 60's jams IMO. John Paul Jones' string arrangement really pushes it over the top.
The great Nicky Hopkins on piano. He's all over the Exile album, and he did Sympathy for the Devil....he was their go-to guy in their prime years.
He’s basically all over everything the Stones recorded from Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967) to It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (1974).
Turn it up folks - it just don't get any better than this!!
This is mellow compared to the next one! Rip This Joint! Epic album. Probably my all time number one album…by anyone. It has everything from the blues of Casino Boogie, Sweet Virginia, Ventilator Blues and Stop Breaking Down to straight ahead rock and roll of this, Rip This Joint, Soul Survivor and All Down the Line to gospel infused tracks like Shine a Light and Let it Loose.
One of my favorite songs from the Stones. It gets better on repeat listens too! This album and the ones preceding it are all worth checking out
Lol, yep roll down the window, get all the noise, and bugs in your teeth! Thats the Stones!! ..😂❤
YES!!! Exile on Main Street is the greatest rock n roll album ever! Peak Stones!!
Do the whole album!!!
Impressed you're doing this one. I'm going in.
I’ve gone thru alot of “Reactionaries”
You two are the most honest and the best
The last time I saw them, with my son in LA, they played this. It surprised me.
It was also the 40th anniversary of the first time I saw them.
This album is the pinnacle. They would never sound better than this.
Love this song and the
Stones. Do some of their live album called “Get Yer Ya Yas Out” Sympathy for the Devil on that is amazing. Their cover of Chuck Berrys “Carol” is so good too and “Midnight Rambler “ !!
Excelente tema !!! Stones for ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greatest Rock n Roll Band ever 🤘🤘
self proclaimed greatest
@bobguitarlearner8007 no they never said that mick and keith never said that ,the people around the world started that on the late 60s early 70s
"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me!"
Come on with the horns 😁R.I.P MR watts on the drums they always bless us with some funky ass horn arrangements.
Love this channel! I get a lesson every play; either from you guys or the subscribers….thanks all!

'The sunshine bores the daylights outta me!"
Wasn't gonna comment - but you NAILED it!!!
Another 'banger' from this record is called "All Down the Line."

The Rolling Stones fused rock, blues, gospel, rockabilly, folk, and country in this album to create a cool, powerful, and beautiful American music.
Exile on Main Street is about as legendary as albums get, not only because of it’s gritty, garage band sound throughout but also because of where the Stones were on their path through rock ‘n roll history. Other great tracks on this album are Shine a Light and Loving Cup. Then there’s Happy, which Keith Richards recorded in one take after writing it that very morning.

There’s so many different sounds and layers to the Stones, the more you explore, the more astounded you’ll be.
I'm nearly 70 and have always liked the Stones. My only beef with them was I've always had trouble trying to figure out what Mick was singing. 😅
Well, now you can find them on the Net, that's what I have to do, lol.
I read somewhere that he did that with purpose so that people had to play the records over and over again lol
Awesome tune off what many call the greatest rock ‘n roll album ever made. I can’t disagree - actually I’d say it’s a tie between Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers! So many classics off Exile. One of my favorites is a deep cut called Ventilator Blues. That one really shows the Stones deep roots in the blues and it is really gritty, which is just what you want from a Stones banger!
💖Ventilator Blues 🤟 Also, Sweet Black Angel is awesome deep cut.
Yes indeed!
One of the greatest albums of all time.
no
Alright! One of my favorite Stones albums
Loving Cup will blow you away
Really enjoying your choices. Not the most obvious ones. This album is amazing all the way through.
Forgot about this one, never even knew the title, and thanks for bringing it back. Hey - yesterday was great, smashed the likes on everything, but the comments wouldn't go through!
Now, at age 58, I appreciate the Rolling Stones SO much more than I did as a youngster. This song seems to be a version of the new "Glam Rock" that surfaced in the early 70's with bands like The New York Dolls.
My take is The Stones being one of the first British RnR acts to wear makeup (in the later 60's, following the lead of Brian Jones), they influenced the later Glam scene...Bowie, Dolls, etc. The Glam scene really took off w/Bowie's Ziggy Stardust l.p. in June '72...same year as Exile, released a month before, in May.
The next Stones record (Goats Head Soup) in '73 is them 1st reacting to a burgeoning Glam scene they'd
helped generate.
You're an l.p early. Pretty close!
C’mon boys, do Torn and Frayed, you won’t be disappointed.
Gettin closer to one of my fav Stones tunes now that you're onto Exile. "All Down the Line" should happen for you
😈Great MASTERPICE🤌check ROLLING👅STONES music video 🎼🕺DANCING WHIT MR.D💃🎼🎩🎸🎶🎶🎶☮️✌️
Nice to see you getting into Exile. Such a great album all the way through.
Cool song. I hadn't heard that one before.
The greatest outro band ever
underappreciated beat machine: Charlie Watts!
