This is a perfect song showing why the early to mid 70's rock is my favorite era of rock.
Same
Yep Great music such as this 👍
Everything about this song brings the STANKFACE. Leslie West’s filthy guitar tone, Corky’s wicked beat, everything. What a banger. This jam never dies.
it wasn't just West's voice but that furious angry HOWL of his. I hope he is resting comfortably.
How about Felix?
Lex you are pure sunshine! Y'all are great, love from a Mississippi girl.
One of the earliest heavy metal songs!! 🤟🤟🤟
"I bet there's a lot of cows in a lot of states"...Deep thoughts by Brad
Brad can be very random sometimes, lol, and I love it!
1:41. 😆
Sometimes better than Jack Handey's
It's awesome when you can tell Brad really likes a song
Captain Brad Obvious ;)
70’s Classic Rock just hits Different. Great Song
The 70s were ASS KICKERS LOL
Wow y'all loved it from the get-go! So badass! Never gets old.
Song takes off like a buckin' bronco outta the chute!
This is a song that absolutely has to be enjoyed with the volume tuned way, way up. Iconic Guitar riff by Leslie West and great driving Bass.
The original cover said on it "this record must be played LOUD." I saw them in 1970. Marshall amps stacked to the ceiling. I counted 12
Not to mention the powerful drumming of Corky Lang. Saw them live in 1975 with Johnny Winter and Alice Cooper. It didn’t suck.
jack it up to 11
One of the great power trio's in rock history. We sadly just recently lost guitarist/vocalist Leslie West back on December 23, 2020. RIP shredder!
Trios
My Generation was so blessed. GREAT music of every genre were the norm. For a good 20 + years.
You know it's gonna be good when it starts with cow bells. Great song, great reaction!
Lex’s face when Brad says “there’s probably a lot of cows in Mississippi” 😬🤔 had me 💀
Possibly the greatest rock opening ever. What an amazing riff.
I love it when Brad can get excited about one of my favorite all time songs !!
Leslie West: Great lead/rhythm guitarist, great high pitched bluesy/rock voice! Just outstanding.
Absolute iconic guitar riff…just makes you want to stand up and find someone to punch in the face!
Hahahaha
Right ?? Lmao !!🤣
I'm surprised Brad didn't realize that the second line of the song, "You Know What I mean" is what is on his hat.
The singer and guitar player Leslie West later formed a band with Jack Bruce from Cream. Band called West , Bruce & Laing. Check out their track “Third Degree” great blues rock track like this.
Love this song! My late uncles favourite band always reminds me of him so thankyou ❤️
Tribute to the Late Great Leslie West on Guitar and the Late Great Felix Pappalardi on Bass. On of the greatest heavy hitters of Rock in the 70's
R I.P.🙏 Leslie Weinstein aka Leslie West. He had one heck of a guitar tone. And his singing was awesome. Gonna miss you Leslie. Rock in peace
One of the all time rock n roll songs .. classic to the core .. guitar riff is kick ass .. Leslie West RIP brother .. Lex and Brad getting into it .. yeah 👍
One of the greatest rock songs ever recorded 😅😅👍✊🚬🥃
I saw Mountain or Leslie West solo 19 times, always a trip. One of the top 5 guitarists of all time for just inherent heaviness and brute force combined with inventiveness and blues Rocking soul. He was an IKON, will never forget seeing him a couple times with the original band and bassist, co-singer Felix Papalardi. Also saw him with Mountain's drummer, Corky Laing 10 times, they were made to play together. One of Rock's underrated bands, Do Never In My Life, Crossroader and any version of Nantucket Sleighride, original or live, it is Epic! Enjoy. 🎸
This is just as good the second time around, you guys are great, can't wait for another live stream.
I like when Lex says "oooooh". It's kinda cute.
What memories... our band opened up for them twice in Miami, 1970. Leslie Wests little finger was as big as most people's thumbs, but he was so precise in his finger placement..
Leslie West (RIP 2020) was an outstanding guitarist, and a great person as well.
Bye the way, this song was featured in the '71 cult classic movie "Vanishing Point".
The best rock is blues influenced. Imo.
Truth!
Should check out Leslie West and Joe Satriani playing awesome blues on tour.
I saw Mountain....awesome show....BUT...I have also seen Robin Trower who is only second to SRV as far as rock Blues
I mean it stemmed directly from the blues so there's no doubt about it.
@music-two-my-ears ✊👊
one of the best songs that came out of the 70's....straight to the soul !!!!
We had a a good jam or 2 in the 70s
What I love about this song is it sounds like he’s singing to the guitar and the guitar is singing back to him. You’ll start recognising that from a lot of 70/80s bands
@Atheos B. Sapien holy shit that’s awesome. Never knew the term for it
No doubt one of the best songs to have on your long-distance driving mix. Helps the miles go by faster.
Leslie West had a great sense of humor. He played a very funny character in the 80’s movie The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.
Brad's smile is contagious!!! And yes????.....u can NEVER have ENOUGH cowbell!!!!
Leslie West was a beast on guitar check out Never in my Life or Silver Paper 🔥🔥🔥
Nantucket Sleighride will get you there as well.
Everyone should have someone in their life that loves you so much they look at you like Lex looks at Brad.
the guitarist is Leslie West, a real badass!
with his Les Paul Jr....he was certainly a badass!
I've loved this song for years and years, never knew the lyrics until now. Pretty "sassy" I'd say. You guys are very insightful. Love your stuff.
I've been rockin' this since 1970. Still gets regular rotation on my playlist.
the tone of Leslie West's guitar is everything!
I love watching you getting requests for songs then watching the reaction. Keep the channel pumping... I need to get to work.
I'm from Mississippi. LOVE THIS SONG!
I'm from Berlin , Love this Song an Mountain. Greetings 👍
Lex with the Stankface Maximus!! LMAO!!
Lex rockin' out is so adorable.
The late and great Leslie West from New York definitely brought on the Southern Rock perfectly. I 💜
I used to sing this at the top of my lungs when I was six or seven. Love this song!
Great choice. Glad y'all dug it.
LESLIE WEST was a monster guitar player, may he RIP
Ah yes! What a gem. So heavy! Leslie West! Interestingly he’s from Brooklyn NY. ♥️
Yep. A New York guy singing about south Mississippi. One of the greatest guitarists and songs.
You two are in the right place now for Steely Dan it’s the music that transcends all the tracks you’ve reacted to so far, think funky Pink Floyd with bongos🤓
Its a very deep rabbit hole Steely Dan, what u waiting on....
Girl, you're gettin it. I don't know how Brad could just bob his head. That song makes to stand up and shake it.
Nice reaction to this great song. Thanks Brad & Lex. I was lucky enough to see Leslie West do this live. 😎
Van Halen "You really got me" Thats a Rock and Roll classic!
Leslie west ( lead singer) very underrated
Kickin ass song!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 When my son was a young teen, I loved playing his guitar hero game 😂
Very iconic song for me. Always think about walking into my brothers house, his kids playing Rock Band. And there was my sweet little 8 year old niece belting out this song. A great memory.
Just cant beat this OG style music ,it just has so much rhythm & soul in it
that it is just good rockin roll to chill to!..😎
Great review & reaction you two!..👍👍
I saw them open up for Triumph in the 80s. Funny, the crowd didn't know them that well, but I sure did. Me and my friends were like the only people standing up jammin to this song!! We were like what's wrong with you people!!!
This was the most excited I've seen Brad. One of these days there is going to be a song that makes him jump out of his seat and dance! Loved this reaction!
Zakk Wylde does an amazing cover of this song at the Iridium venue.
The title of the video is "Zakk Wylde - Mississippi Queen yeaahh"
Zak somehow manages to get Leslie West's electric guitar tone on an electric acoustic.
Zak Wylde is a beast n it sucks no one really reacts to him I've requested on different channels but nothing so far
RIP, Leslie West. Nastiest, tastiest guitar player. Dig in.
Great catalogue.
Opened the show at Woodstock.
One of the best rock n roll songs ever
Mountain, one of the best band's of their era.
Needs more Cowbell! Lol. Killer tune!
I bought my kids a PlayStation 3 bundle with rock band. It was nov 2007 and they had to wait till Christmas. I’m an offshore men and wasn’t going to be home for the holidays working. They asked every day when I called home if they could open it. Mississippi queen was the first song I heard when I walked in from months of work, I was hooked. Thanks for sharing, brings some great memories of playing with my kids.
Cowbell . . . getting more of it in your life.🤘
Mountain the 70s. This was the jamm you all. Lesley West. The big fella.... One of the rock anthems of the dirty south. B'ham Al. The young brothers, "that's us" loved this song and I play this one this day!💯🔥
Who does not love Lex? .. . Brad is the intellectual and Lex is the free spirit .. you guys are such a great couple! I am an old white guy and enjoy you guys and the music so much ! I wish the best for you.
MOUNTAIN, "MISSISSIPPI QUEEN" GUITAREST, AND SINGER LESLIE WEST PASSED AWAY THIS PAST YEAR. A True Icon...
One of the #1 top ROCK songs in history
Saw them at Woodstock. Leslie used to play locally with The Vagrants. Their hit single was a version of ":RESPECT"
I loved this song when they played it on one of Stallone's Expendables movies as they were flying somewhere on that old airplane.
Oh hell yeah, can’t get any better rock ‘n’ roll than this.
Would you believe singer guitarist is from Queens NYC? Played this through the vinyl for years Back in the 70s. Saw them in 76 and Leslie West the guitarist just recently passed away Dec 2020.
Similar story is “Dixie Chicken” by Little Feat 😂😂😂
"That's the best kind of crazy, controlled crazy"- more dep thoughts by Brad
A short but sweet rocker. Straight to the point.
Most famous Cow bell in rock history... Hendrix asked to jamm with them...after he heard them recording this song. .
Saw Leslie West (Mountain) front row. .mid 80s. .RIP. .
Actually, it was "Never in my life" that Hendrix heard them record. After which he did indeed jam with them - but interestingly playing bass himself. And well, too - most guitarists are terrible bassists, but Hendrix was actually very good.
One image I have from a Mountain concert in the 70s was this really long-haired guy just rockin' right in front of a stack of speakers on the left side of the stage. He's probably been deaf for years now. 😕🌻✌
Make that decades!
The biggest hit by those boys from New York, Mountain ... after only a few club dates, the played Woodstock in September 1969 before a half a million people. The vocalist and guitarist had an earlier album under the lead singer's name and the album was entitled Mountain - using studio musicians ... and after a legit band they called the band Mountain .... Nantucket Sleigh Ride (I think) was there second biggest charted hit. My personal second favorite Mountain song is Theme of An Imaginary Western (also from Climbing!).
Correction: Leslie West was the main vocals and lead guitarist ... Flex was the bass player .... West 1969 solo album Mountain had Blood of the Sun - another great song by Leslie West (RIP). Mississippi Queen by far his best creative masterpiece.
Ozzy Osbourne take a bow at Mississippi Queen ... different than the original, but still not as good as Mountain.
Classic "cowbell" song. :) Delta blues wedded with hard rock... I first heard this one in the movie "Vanishing Point" in 1971. Hard rock-blues. Fun, fun. Scores a "10" for bass line, and of course cowbell.
They were supposed to be the next Cream. Played Woodstock. Leslie West was a monster guitarist. Had a heavy sound.
I saw Leslie West in NY back in the 80's. He could drink, sing and play the guitar at the same time.
Mountain was a late 60's-early 70's band from Long Island. Billy Joel said he knew the guys in the band; sometimes they'd play in the same bars and clubs.
All the great things about rock and roll in under 3 minutes. R.I.P. Leslie West.
And RIP Felix Pappalardi, and RIP Steve Knight. Would it really kill people to give EVERY deceased member of a killer band some well-deserved love and credit.
My generation that jammed to these bands on radio, private parties and live gigs......we were in the middle of greatness and knew it. Check out " Long Red" by Leslie West. Another goodie. My favorite Allman Brothers song " Don't Keep Me Wonderin" will definitely get Lex smiling. Great guitar 🎸. Haunting lyrics. That's how we rolled back in the 70's. Not this simple, mindless, goofy , pop crap music of today. So happy to see you both enjoy this. Just watched your reaction to "White Room" by Cream. You two " Get it". Bravo.
Wish I could go back in time this is the best of times for the music industry and the people looking for great toons
August 1987, Kingston Fairgrounds in Kingston NH. Summer Jam, 5 bands Black Oak Arkansas, Mountain, Molly Hatchet, Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult. 10 feet from the stage. I could feel the legs of my jeans moving from the sound pressure waves from the speaker stacks. My ears rang for 3 days. Still have the bootleg t-shirt.
This singer/ guitar player kicked butt!
You guys picked some great ones today, with this one, Roundabout, and White Room - all classics!
A very simple song that is awesome in its simplicity.
The music I grew yup on for sure.....memories of bell bottoms, playing in the woods, kids totally free roaming for miles till the streetlights came on, sittin on hill watching Trans-ams, corvettes, and Camaros racing down the road down by my house for bragging rights, only to be beaten down like baby seals by the local chevelle SS. Just 1970s southern child hood. I know that's a crazy description for a song, but it's just the memories that come back with a song. I was a 70s child.
I saw Mountain in concert in 1970 in Kansas City. Great show.
I might have this wrong but I think there's a link between Mountain and Cream. Something like a guy called Felix Pappalardi was producer for both.
This song featured briefly in the film Vanishing Point which is legendary.
You're almost spot on. Felix Pappalardi was the producer for Cream and the bassist/co-lead vocalist in Mountain, as well as the producer. Hilariously, Leslie West wanted Felix as the bassist for his band, knowing Felix to be a monster on the instrument - Felix was a classical conservatory dropout who then discovered rock'n'roll and fell madly in love with the bass guitar - but, pushing 30, he thought himself too old to be in a band so Leslie had to coax him. First by lying to him and say "many stars have become producers, you could be the first producer becoming a star" - having no idea whether this would be a first or not. And finally, by saying: "Come on, I'm a fat Jew, you're a skinny Italian - we'd be perfect together!". And Felix gave in, becoming the de facto leader of Mountain until he was, sadly, murdered by his wife in 1983. But, that's a whole other story for another day.
@@erikthompson619 Oh my god, I didn't know he was murdered! That's terrible. Another dreadful murder was of Roger Troutman of Zapp. Anyway, thanks for the details. 30 too old?!!
@@sporkfindus4777 Yeah, you know it was 1969 and at the time you weren't supposed to trust anybody over 30 🙂But we can all be thankful for Leslie seeing it very differently!
Leslie West?! Mississippi Queen?! Ooooh, hell yeah!
Would love to see yall do the killers when we were young I think you both would dig it
This song was in the movie
The Dukes of Hazzard
The distinctive tone and vocals of this song are famous 50 years later, no end in sight!
If you think you know what MOUTIAN sounds like by listening to MISSASIPPI QUEEN , you have only heard half of the range they offer..... Nantucket Sleighride shows off the other lead singer (Felix Pappalardi) Mountain had to offer!
To hear Lesli West and Felix Pappalardi sing together you MUST listen to FOR YASGER"S FARM, sweet and hard by turn through the song, very NICE!
Made Brad smile like Lex. You know its good
Contender for greatest rock song of all time
Great guitar playing and vocals from Leslie West.
One of the all time greats.
