Charlie Watts is who drove Stones' songs like this one and "Shattered." Like Ringo, Charlie Watts set as steady a beat as any band could ask for. Rest in Peace, Charlie
Off the "Some Girls" album from 1978.....a rock treasure!....a band can't endure through the decades without changing their sound and style, but it needs to be done without changing your soul and passion.....The Stones have done that better than anyone!
@@KASPA-KEY Not really. The Beatles are the most popular act ever, but that doesn't make them the best. The Stones influenced the sound of popular music and the attitude of rock and roll way more. They are the archetypal rock band. The Beatles never released an album better than Sticky Fingers, Exile, or Let It Bleed. Even the genius that is Abbey Road has to carry the dead weight that is the totally uncool "Maxwell's Silver Hammer".
That's my impression, as well. He's saying for her not to treat him like 💩 just because he's all the way into her. A beast of burden is traditionally something that gets whipped and abused.
Beast of Burden: an animal used for carrying heavy loads or pulling heavy equipment, such as a donkey, mule, or ox. Or an animal used to perform a task for a human such as a dog that is used for herding cattle.
Yes, and according to Richards he later realized he'd wrote the song for Mick after he became aware of the fact that Mick had carried him [Richards'] through his drug addiction.
This is one of my favorite songs by the Stones! Always loved the tune. However, sometime back, this song came on at the bar and a friend of mine decided to replace the lyrics of "I'll never be your Beast of Burden" with "I'll never leave your pizza burning". Now I can't get that out of my head. 🤣
The Rolling Stones played "Beast OF Burden" on Saturday Night Live, after the album Tattoo You was released, and Mick Jagger almost stepped over the line with his performance, but not quite. Still got a lot of attention and comments in the days that followed. Anyone else remember that little moment?
Yeah, he licked Ron Wood's face... lol Also, at the time they were just about the only musical act that was allowed to do one set, rather than have it split it two on SNL. And, they skipped over Miss You which had been their #1 song at the time, opting for Shattered and When the Whip comes down (if I recall right). They appeared in a couple of skits on that show as well. Fairly memorable appearance, although Mick's voice was shot that night, and for most of the small tour they did that year. Allegedly they were better in rehearsal (although the studio audience was pleased with the actual performance). And, apparently Keith was drinking and had a scuffle with Bill Murray... or so it was said at one time. It was the season opener for SNL and Mayor Ed Koch was guest host. Jagger bowed low to kiss his hand to close out the show.
Kieth Richards is one of the best guitarist of all time and he showcases throughout this song, he's allover the place making his guitar talk and cry. Those emotions you feel are Richard's tones in all the Rolling Stones songs.
One of my favorite Stones songs. It contains one of rock’s most misheard lyrics. Back in ‘78 people would call radio stations and request “Pizza Burning” by The Rolling Stones.
I saw them once in the late 90s. I mean, I wasn't a fan before and a massive one after. They went out there and spent well over 3 hours blowing every door off the place.
@@mage1439 I saw them 1 time right after Some Girls came out in the 70s. It's funny I wasn't much of a Stones fan until this album which is crazy considering all the great music they put out.
Since we're on the Stones - Leon Russell live playing "Jumpin Jack Flash" with George Harrison, Clapton, Ringo Starr!!!. Dripping with pure art, soul, and STANK - This is the kind of music you LOVE!!! It's from the concert for Bangladesh - first major rock benefit in 1971. The entire video is on the other site that posts videos. Leon at 55:30 minutes in
Great reaction you two and glad you like the Stones! Between two words, Lex can come up with a picture story as fast than anyone I’ve ever seen….Hammer and Pliers pushing and pulling! What a thought to race through your mind in an instant!
I was 19 or 20 when this album came out. First album of The Rolling Stones I ever bought and it's been my favorite ever since. This was actually my favorite song from the album. I can't seem to find many reactions to this song at least not the studio version.
The Rolling Stones have so many songs that can be all over the place. He doesn't want to be a work horse just a lover. ha ha The Stones are one of a kind group.
I believe y’all love this because it’s a beautiful tribute to Motown soul and rhythm n blues. One of the fantastic qualities of the Stones is that they drive you back in time to those that influenced these English boys 😘
@@davidthornton7328 Na .. a stoner would never forget a pizza, the smell would keep the memory alive. Leaving a pizza to burn is more of a drunkards trick
Lexi’s got it, good understanding of the sound of the music. it’s not just about a quickie or two lol you gotta listen to it a few times to get the meaning. Awesome song, another one you never get tired of. Thanks 💜💜
Damn, Lex not only did you feel the essence of this song so much, I loved your knowledge about pounding it in with the nail and then using pliers pull up out and repeating and likening that to the opposing forces of tension in this song. To me that's just a brilliant insight. And Brad totally cracks me up. But yeah one thing I've always found interesting about this addictive song is that in the choruses he's saying, I'll never be your Beast of burden. You cannot whip me into submission I will not be pussy with etc. And yet a line that gets repeated so much in the song or at least twice at the beginning and the end, is about how he's walked all these miles for her and his feet are hurting. What a strange juxtaposition. It's all about the emotional ultimately I think and it's just a great groove. This album some girls, was just so wonderful when it came out. They had been through kind of a bad period this came out when I was in 9th grade and I had my first girlfriend in 10th Grade she went out and bought it and it had this pull out sleeve where it had all these cut out faces in it and it was all psychedelic colored and it was women wearing different kinds of bras and people wearing different kinds of makeup it was very tactile and 3D and then it turned out to be this fantastic album. Every song on this album is really wonderful. Take your pick.
Brad got me with the people love a good friction experience... 🤣 I'm with you Lex, how do they come up with so many good songs. Never figured it out but they always deliver.
Still have the album from 78 😎😈🇳🇴 First album i bought together with now wife was their 76 album Black and Blue right after we came together summer of 77 🤗😈
There are lots of great groups. Most last at few years at most - but the Stones have been simply killing it for about 60 years now. A total phenomenon.
The Some Girls album was a sort of transition Album for the Stones. Transitioning from the 70's to the 80's. I didn't like the album at first but once I listened to it a time or three, I now love it.
My favorite Stone song next to Satisfaction. What you really need to hear is the live version from Houston-it's on Youtrube-the Stones were so raw back then-that is why so many people loved them over the Beatles-they played great dance music and they played it raw and rocking. Watch the live version-they just absolutely kill it. From 1965-to 1975 no one touched them for being such a great dance band-you could just get out on the floor and dance all night to the Stones.
Nice reaction to one of my favourite Stones songs ! .. Great melody and groove .. Surprisingly, Bette Midler does a fantastic cover of this song .. Worth your time to check that one out .. Wayne
Whoopie Goldberg in the movie Burglar listing to Jumping Jack Flash by the Stones was Epic scene. And Michael Keiton in Night Shift JAMS Jumping Jack Flash!
You have listened to quite a few Stones songs so you know how good and varied they are. My favorites that you haven't done yet are Miss You and You Can't Always Get What You Want (studio version, not live version), but everyone will have different faves.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 I do. I'm more of Floyd fan than any of those, but tended towards the psychedelic stuff: Floyd, later Beatles and Zepplin, I also hit some obscure stuff that's not worth mentioning, but it wasn't till I made my way back around, that I could really appreciate the Stones for their journey through music.
Love it.... I would enjoy seeing you two react to some more Bob Seger, or in my humble opinion the greatest 70's rock song ever....Tommy Bolin ~ post toastee....sorry about the lightning.
they just toured, surprised you didn't go see em.. probably last time they will tour.. always good shows..."beast of burden".. an ox..an elephant.. a horse... a hawk etc etc etc... a slave basically
Brad is closer to the meaning of song! I think he is saying He will not be her beast burden (like a mule)! He is not going to carry the emotional baggage! He wants to simply make love to her! ❤️❤️
I loved Bette Midler's cover as a kid in the 80s and I didn't even know it's a Stones song, not for a long time. But nowadays I prefer the original, that rarely happens, usually I stick to the versions I heard first, I think that goes for everybody.
@@bretthardin9239 It's Gram Parsons and, no, it's a Stones song. They let Gram's band (The Flying Burrito Brothers) record it first -a very nice version but not the definitive one.
Charlie Watts is who drove Stones' songs like this one and "Shattered." Like Ringo, Charlie Watts set as steady a beat as any band could ask for. Rest in Peace, Charlie
No, Keith Richards. His chords. He put these songs together.
Yup. Much like Ringo cross town with the Beatles...not flashy, but perfect timing and driving beats/tasteful fills
@@iamhudsdent2759 "Charlie Watts IS the Rolling Stones"- Keith Richards
Absolutely! He skips beats and drives this tune!

"a band can't endure through the decades without changing their sound" I guess you never heard of AC/DC...lol
I've seen them 4 times also, starting in 1981 in Cedar Falls, Iowa
@@pulsarlights2825 Good counterpoint!.....such a good counterpoint, I won't even mention you spelled AC/DC wrong! 🙂
@@flash218ily Pointing out a typo is the mark of intellectual superiority, your IQ must be off the charts
Great album with cool artwork.
The guitars here sound irresistible. The quality and quantity produced by the Stones is unmatched.
They had have an incredible way of weaving leads and chords and alternating leads in such a seamless fashion that it sounds like one guitar.
Well said, very simple song which seems like not much happening but those guitars....

I think this might be the smoothest groove the Stones ever did.
I think you might be right
I agree.... thats saying alot too..honky tonk woman, can you hear me knocking, start me up as soooo smooth....this does beat those those.
The Stones at their peak always manage to be both dirty and smooth at the same time. It's such a combo.
If you ever want to hear what your voice really sounds like, ask Lex to mimic you. She nails it every time!! Usually making me bust out laughing.
Used to bang with this suuuper hot ,good looking gal in '78. We went at for hours with this album!!!!!!!
Nice to be old now.
Killer!.. saw em twice.. 81 and 89 Syracuse NY..👌🏻😎
By not being her "beast of burden," I always got the impression that he was saying he would never be her "simp," for lack of a better word.
You get it.
I always felt the hiy in the song wanted a relationship but she was jerking him around and he was tired of that
That's my impression, as well. He's saying for her not to treat him like 💩 just because he's all the way into her. A beast of burden is traditionally something that gets whipped and abused.
It makes me so happy that you guys appreciate the Stones! Their catalogue is so deep, you’ll have material for the next five years.
Keith and Ronnie performing" the ancient art of weaving" at its finest.
Lol...that went south!! 😂🤣😂🤣

Or dogs pulling a sled in Alaska back country.
Old Quiet Charlie- happy to just play at the back of the stage. We knew he was there though!

Check that album title, it was "Some Girls".
Yeah, before there was Freddie Mercury trying to seduce the audience, there was Mick Jagger trying to seduce the audience!
Yeah, he licked Ron Wood's face... lol Also, at the time they were just about the only musical act that was allowed to do one set, rather than have it split it two on SNL.

@@cicadajet Looks like you remember it quite well, lots of good detail in there cicadajet. Nice.
Yes, I remember. Jagger also had voice issues, yet still pulled off a stellar performance.
I'll be damned, for years I thought they were saying "I'll never be your pizza burnin" now it makes more sense!
😂 When he says “all your sickness I can suck it up “ I used to think he said suck a duck 😂

Kieth Richards and Ron Wood just weaving those guitars around Mick’s vocals… trading off those guitar licks while Wyman and Watts hold the beat.

Saw them in St. Louis about 3 weeks after Charlie passed...they did a beautiful opening to the show in honor of Charlie...RIP to one of the best.

Don't forget to check the oven, the pizza's burnin!
Well done Brad ,good to see your sense of humour come to the fore 😀
I like Brads take on "beast of burden" meaning. Never thought of it that way.
He got it when he said workhorse.
"Time waits for no one" with the sublime solo of Mick Taylor. The Stones at their best.
I was 19 or 20 when this album came out. First album of The Rolling Stones I ever bought and it's been my favorite ever since. This was actually my favorite song from the album. I can't seem to find many reactions to this song at least not the studio version.
I love how they're all off key, like they're singing in a bar, and it's just perfect. Ragged glory ❤️!
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It's so damn good. I love the guitar.
It was emotional. maybe we should all come to their Emotional Rescue.
nicely done.. Another huge song, they've yet to hit
Might be my favorite all time song. ❤️
The Rolling Stones have so many songs that can be all over the place. He doesn't want to be a work horse just a lover. ha ha The Stones are one of a kind group.
My very first !concert ever! 1978 Rolling Stones Some Girls Tour Anaheim Stadium 80,000 people + festival seating! Crazy
I believe y’all love this because it’s a beautiful tribute to Motown soul and rhythm n blues. One of the fantastic qualities of the Stones is that they drive you back in time to those that influenced these English boys
😘
Hopefully you do Waiting On A Friend, a similar type of song from a few years later. My favorite Stones song.
Over 60 albums and over 60 years, and still going. Must be doing something right. To many great Stones songs to list. Pick one you can't go wrong.
Well only 25 studio original albums,( still a lot ) the rest are live albums,compilations etc
Awesomeness!
You can’t deny the Stones! Most organic, raw, raunchy sounding band ever.
Much love to you, Brad and Lex
Lex was spot on with "Burden" being a "weight"... Here comes Brad out of left field again😂 These two always crack me up. :))
Once again there is a reason that they are the Worlds Best Rock & Roll Band
I always thought this was an ode to Winnipeg.
Try "Miss You" from the same era, it's such a classic. Especially the part where he's "shufflin' down the street, asking people........." 😎
“Miss You” 💕
oops that's right "Miss You" i corrected it 😊
"beast of burden".. an ox..an elephant.. a horse... a hawk etc etc etc... a slave basically

This is a lovely highlight from the album Some Girls. You should try Waiting On A Friend, it is matchless too.
A beast of burden is the one who does all the work... it has to do with having one person carry the relation while the other one sits back.
