I think you nailed it on the first guess, the devil's not saying that HE is doing these things, but that WE are doing these things...and what puzzles us is why we go along and do these things with the devil, like trying to figure out the motives of a serial killer...and it's laid bare in one of my favorite lines, "I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedy's? When after all, it was you and me." and also in, "Every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners, saints." It's the old devil/angel on your shoulders...we all have that duality within us...so, the real question is what do WE get out of playing the devil's game? Girls like a bad-boy, and boys like a bad-ass...we're drawn to that darkness for whatever reason...
I just started watching you a few days ago. I'm very impressed. You are truly understanding the music of the 70's, my Era. It was a good time to be alive.
evil comes from the devil but you don't have to let the devil in and turn you evil. Mick is so right on this song he says what's puzzling you is the nature of my game and a lot of these comments I'm reading it's true! There are so many people in this comment section that have no idea. they are puzzle d and the devil likes to confuse you.
In album sales and ticket sales, The Rolling Stones were at one time second only to The Beatles. And their rabbit hole is nearly as deep. The Stones have many dozens of hits. Check them out! Five songs as a starting point: Paint it Black Gimmes Shelter Time is on my side (I can’t get no) Satisfaction Beast of Burden
I was an adolescent listening to the Stones in the 80s, and loving them! And they've been around long since then, too! Their staying power is incredible!
Not a huge Rolling Stones fan, but I'll easily admit this is one of the top 10 rock songs ever. Lyrical genius, amazing musicianship, and literally the PERFECT singer for both the sound and subject matter make this a true masterpiece. "Paint it Black" is another Stones song you absolutely need to give a listen to.
@@fuchsiaswing8545Certainly everything from the 80s on, but it's more that I really enjoy maybe 5 of their songs, and the rest for me is a giant pile of "meh." I do not in any way claim that they're not hugely influential or that their music is "bad" (except for all songs released after 1980).
The song goes down through history, the Czar was Nicholas II of Russia. He and all his family, wife, 4 beautiful young daughters, and his son and heir, Alexei were all assassinated by the Bolsheviks during the Russian revolution. Anastasia Romanov was his next-to-youngest daughter who many believed managed to survive death. There were at least a couple of imposters claiming to be Anastasia. It mentions WWII when Germany was dropping bombs on London in the Blitz, and the bodies in the gas chambers of the concentration camps during the Holocaust…it references also the 100 Years War between the French kings and English kings, the house of Capet-Valois and the English Plantagenets who also regarded themselves as the rightful kings of France. The line about the troubadours could possibly be a reference to the Thugee cult who worshipped Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Death. The cult would waylay, kill and rob travelers on the roads of India. Lyrically brilliant song.
If you are not familiar with the Rolling Stones you owe it to yourself to explore their music. As others have pointed out, they are one of the biggest bands ever. And nice pickup on Jagger pulling some James Brown vocals -- JB was an enormous influence on the band.
“I also have never heard of the Rolling Stones before” are words I’ve never heard said before 😎 Check out Miss You, Honky Tonk Woman, Shattered, Start Me Up…. the list goes on and on. They are one of the greatest rock bands of all-time.
It truly is amazing how the younger generation has not been exposed to even the top rock artists of the 70's, 80's and 90's. Thank god for these reaction sites to at least expose some people to this treasure trove of forgotten great music!!
The Stones are one of my top 10 in Rock and Roll!! Mick J still entertains like no other!! Listen to Paint it Black for The Stones anti Vietnam song!! Enjoy opening the door to endless excellent ROCK!! Keep in mind anything recorded before the 80s didnt have a video originally. Vids were made later for them for MTV!
Mick had this high pinched voice before Michael Jackson created his high pinched voice or you could say Michael Jackson got his high pinched voice from Mick Jagger.🤔
Rolling stones are one of those bands mentioned with the beatles, zeppelin, the who, and other great bands of the 60s to today. Mick Jagger is the singer. The great thing about music like this of the past is that is all talent! Musically, lyrics, studio, touring live compared to todays electronic, commercial stuff. Enjoy!
I know this is an exploration of the unknown music, but the Rolling Stones are massively important in rock & roll. Keep listening young man and you will find much joy and inspiration,
The Rolling Stones are the bomb! I have been fortunate to go to two concerts, they are excellent live! They have many many songs to listen to, and they have been performing since 1962! Mick is still as energetic young as he is old! Long live the Rolling Stones!
Hey Shon, welcome to the Stones fanclub! Your lyrical interpretation was so spot on, even if your didn't catch all the historical references - you really nailed the true meaning. Also, in 1964 the Stones had to follow James Brown in a show, (Jagger protested. saying "Nobody follows James Brown"), and afterwards he stole a lot of his dance moves, but more than that, his attitude, which comes through strong on this record. Can't wait to follow the rest of your musical journey!
I read that the wives and girlfriends of the Stones were in the back room and they came up with the woo woos and the band heard them & liked it and added it to the song
I've seen many Reactions to this song and this is by far the very best. And you nailed it totally with your very first comment. So glad a new generation is discovering this major work by this band.
There are many a good Rolling Stones songs to listen to next, but I think Gimme Shelter would be the next one that you should do. The backing vocals on that are next level, and there is a good story (easily found on UA-cam) about Merry Clayton coming in to do those vocals.
One of the most iconic songs from one of the most iconic bands EVER. Gotta know your world history to understand how clever this song is. As it says in 'The Gulag Archipelago'- "The line between good and evil cuts through the heart of every man." ~Aleksandr. Solzhenitsyn 🧐🤫 😬_👹💀
They did a great live show. I got to see them in 89. Tenth row center, best seats of my life for a rock show. Great reaction. I am having fun watching!
Michael Jackson was about ten years old when this was released, about a year before the Jackson 5 would record their first album. But James Brown was a big influence on the Rolling Stones.
I love love loved your reaction to this classic Rolling Stones song. You are right it is unique and also timeless. It's pretty deep for such an old song, I think. The Rolling Stones have some pretty controversial songs. I think they just liked to stir the pot. I just found you and subbed. Thanks again!!!
This is my absolute favorite Stones song. The creativity in the perspective of the lyrics, of the instruments, everything .. just so unique and creative. And it sounds great!
My young brother you really are discovering some really incredible music. I’m a sixty five year old dude who grew up with these tunes! I have been watching your reactions and enjoy you hearing these classic tunes from the sixty’s through the eighties! To me the music now just doesn’t grab me. There has been some new country music that’s pretty good!
I cant imagine your age but some of your commentary is brilliant. Duality and the devil playing both sides was a notion I would never find by myself. Thank you, Brother, for unraveling this song in only a way that is unique to you and you alone.
Shon, you have a great ability to bridge generations. My Mom tried to stop me from listening to this in the 1970s, but like you, this song is FIRE!! Mom also banned Cat Scratch Fever and any Black Sabbath.
When you consider Mick Jagger was like, 25 years old when they did this song. Not only is the music fantastic, but the lyrics and underlying message is just next level. No way could I have written something like this when I was 25. Stunning.
If you’re truly a music person, you HAVE to jump into the Rolling Stones history. One of the most important bands ever! For years they were called “the greatest rock’n roll band in the world” Peace
Rock GOLD!!!!! The intelligent lyrics never cease to amaze me, and those hard beats driving the song like a freight train; perfect! Next Stones songs: “Monkey Man” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” 🔥
The Rolling Stones (named after a Muddy Waters song) stared as a blues and R&B band in 1962, so everything they did was blues-based, like Led Zeppelin, The Animals, and many other British bands of that era. All this music came about because of the folk music revival of the late 50s and early 60s when young white kids discovered blues music at a time when blacks had turned away from the blues for Soul and R&B. Black bluesmen who had made "race records" in the 20s and 30s were literally rescued from obscurity by white blues lovers, who booked them into concerts at clubs and colleges all over America and Europe, so these original bluesmen had second careers and their music was loved by the Boomer generation who took the music most blacks had abandoned and made it into what you hear today. The Stones and The Beatles are recognized as the top two rock bands, listen to their early studio albums and buy the CDs because they were made to be listened to in an album format. Great reaction, listen to Mississippi Fred McDowell. For the early history of rock&roll, watch ""Sam Phillips, the man who invented Rock&Roll" on YT. Very insightful reaction.
Excellent video , brother ! Another wicked song from them (Rolling Stones) along these lines is their song, "Heartbreaker " ! One real Heavy hitter of a song. but man, they have sooooo many no.1 hits from the sixties until present . Kinda creepy how they always just breath super top of the hits without even trying..😮 Crap.... I'm gonna watch this one at least 2 more times, right now ! Thanks for a great post on a Sunday !!!👍
I watched several reaction from people your age group, and they were like "who are they talking about?" even with the title Sympathy for the DEVIL. Thanks for recognizing right away.
Huge Honey Hole. The Stones are one of the biggest bands ever. They started out in the 60's and are still relevant. Diffently worth a deep dive. "Wild Horses" is one of their early songs just to continue you on thus journey.
I’ve always interpreted this as he has sympathy for the devil because some use this mythical figure as the one to blame for all the evils done by mankind
To me the message of this song was pretty simple. The expression "THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT" is just commentary how mankind can be cruel, crooked, mean, violent etc. "Devilish" behavior has been part of the human existence. What a brilliant song , musically and lyrically. One of their best🔥🎵❗ Happy to see you dive in to greatness.
@@davidadams5280 There is an amazing Welsh artist ( grew up in Brighton) called REN, if you’ve not heard of him check out Hi REN. But he had a band, mostly busking called the big push, they do a great Sympathy busking cover. REN is probably the best most varied and multi talented artist on the planet.
This became a trip down memory lane… I was probably 6-7 years old (1976) and my buddy and I would sneak into his older brother’s room and put this album on. We thought it was the coolest thing!! Thanks man, I appreciate you!! Keep doing what you’re doing!!
You never heard of the Rolling Stones before?? They ARE the GREATEST, BIGGEST, BEST ROCK & ROLL BAND THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!! Still rockin at 80 years old today and 60 years as a band
Great take on this song! I love watching these reaction vids of people just discovering classic songs.You can fake that energy you’re showing.Keep on doing what ya do brother ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There's also a wonderful studio version of this song on UA-cam video, with John Lennon & Yoko in the audience grooving away like you wouldn't believe. Well worth checking out peeps...!
That's a great way to start out with the Stones. Perfect intro and definitely one of their best songs. They have a bunch. Mick Jagger was a wild man as a vocalist and performer. He was really his own guy. Maybe he was imitating performers like James Brown or Otis Redding but what he came up with was all Mick Jagger. Paint It Black is kind of a must hear and is recommend it for your next song by them. You'll get plenty of other requests. Here's another... Heartbreaker.
Love the Sones! Love your music choices and reactions! I recommend Paint it Black & As Tears go By. But they have so many hits to pick from. One of the all time best groups!
The Rolling Stones are one of the ten bands who made rock and roll. They are deep well from which you can draw a lot of material. "Satisfaction" was probably their first big hit in the early 60's. They are still performing today with the lead singer in his 70's and the guitarist seemingly immortal. ;)
The Rolling Stones are on a whole different level Shon. This is a rabbit hole you must dive into as all of their songs are gold! Thank you for the awesome reaction as always. :)
I highly recommend you react to the Stones performing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" live at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, just so you can see how much of a badass Mick Jagger is when performing live onstage. If you react to it, make sure it's the Rock and Roll Circus gig though.
I think you nailed it on the first guess, the devil's not saying that HE is doing these things, but that WE are doing these things...and what puzzles us is why we go along and do these things with the devil, like trying to figure out the motives of a serial killer...and it's laid bare in one of my favorite lines, "I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedy's?

Girls like a bad-boy, and boys like a bad-ass...we're drawn to that darkness for whatever reason...
From being "drawn to that darkness" one can easily segue into Tool's "Forty-six and Two." 👹 And come to think of it, stones were man's first tools. 🤔😯
I just started watching you a few days ago. I'm very impressed. You are truly understanding the music of the 70's, my Era. It was a good time to be alive.
He didn't say the devil wasn't doing those things

Mick is so right on this song he says what's puzzling you is the nature of my game and a lot of these comments I'm reading it's true! There are so many people in this comment section that have no idea. they are puzzle d and the devil likes to confuse you.
The puzzle is it's part of our nature. But not all of it.
In album sales and ticket sales, The Rolling Stones were at one time second only to The Beatles. And their rabbit hole is nearly as deep.
The Stones have many dozens of hits. Check them out!
Five songs as a starting point:
Paint it Black
Gimmes Shelter
Time is on my side
(I can’t get no) Satisfaction
Beast of Burden
Amen
Not to mention they've been around for SIXTY YEARS. RIP the Great Charlie Watts, the drummer backbone of the Stones.
I was an adolescent listening to the Stones in the 80s, and loving them! And they've been around long since then, too! Their staying power is incredible!
in records they are deeper
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425
Well The Beatles only had eight years.

Lyrical genius, amazing musicianship, and literally the PERFECT singer for both the sound and subject matter make this a true masterpiece. "Paint it Black" is another Stones song you absolutely need to give a listen to.
I agree with everything you said, although I'd say top 5 rock songs ever.
Then how are both of you not huge Stones fans?
@@fuchsiaswing8545 Because there's a lot of their music that I DON'T like.
@@HeavyTopspin From what specific period of the Stones?
@@fuchsiaswing8545Certainly everything from the 80s on, but it's more that I really enjoy maybe 5 of their songs, and the rest for me is a giant pile of "meh." I do not in any way claim that they're not hugely influential or that their music is "bad" (except for all songs released after 1980).
You are a lucky man. You get to experience the Stones now for the first time just like we did years ago.
‘When after all, it was you & me’ -we always blame the devil, but it’s humanity. We cause all the chaos!

It’s a great feeling seeing young people like ya good self experiencing this music! Great reaction sir!✌🏻🏴
This is an epic reaction here. A very rare exposure of a masterpiece to just the right person who can appreciate greatness.
If you are not familiar with the Rolling Stones you owe it to yourself to explore their music. As others have pointed out, they are one of the biggest bands ever. And nice pickup on Jagger pulling some James Brown vocals -- JB was an enormous influence on the band.
This song has a message, do not blame the Devil on everything that happens, Humanity is to blame. 😮
The sympathy part comes in because we, humans, have a tendency to blame him (Lucifer) for all our evil deeds, and he’s calling bullshit.
I know this is a year late, but this is an amazing summary of this song.
“I also have never heard of the Rolling Stones before” are words I’ve never heard said before 😎
Check out Miss You, Honky Tonk Woman, Shattered, Start Me Up…. the list goes on and on. They are one of the greatest rock bands of all-time.

yea never "heard" them i can definitely respect but "never heard of them" is cray cray- they still tour and they're like 127 yrs old
Amen, damn I am old.
That Keith Richards solo is pretty fire too. Brian was playing the maracas here guitar was all Keith.
The Stones are one of my top 10 in Rock and Roll!! Mick J still entertains like no other!! Listen to Paint it Black for The Stones anti Vietnam song!! Enjoy opening the door to endless excellent ROCK!!
Keep in mind anything recorded before the 80s didnt have a video originally. Vids were made later for them for MTV!
Ditto and well said
@@leahdoerr731 TYVM!!
Surely Gimme Shelter is more the anti Vietnam war track and Paint it Black is depression after a loved one dies.
Mick Jagger is the lead singer for the Rolling Stones. He's 15 years older than Michael Jackson. He did not copy MJ.
Mick had this high pinched voice before Michael Jackson created his high pinched voice or you could say Michael Jackson got his high pinched voice from Mick Jagger.🤔
Obviously Not MJ. Lol. But He did get influences from James Brown though. 😉
This is a 1968 music, by that time MJ was 10 years old 😊😊😊
I can see this song coming out today and still becoming a legend. Timeless brilliance.

61 years later they're still touring & recording. Check out "Can't You Hear Me Knocking".
STONES, during the "Mick Taylor" years, (1969-74) !! The best music they ever made !!
They did a great live show. I got to see them in 89. Tenth row center, best seats of my life for a rock show. Great reaction. I am having fun watching!
The reason to have sympathy for the devil is that he gets blamed for horrible things humans do. Such a great concept for a song.
Michael Jackson was about ten years old when this was released, about a year before the Jackson 5 would record their first album. But James Brown was a big influence on the Rolling Stones.
You do a good job at beaking the songs down, and explaining your ideas of meanings behind the songs!
This is one of my favorite songs of all of time…in any genre or era,it’s just so good 🖤🤘🏻

The Rolling Stones have some pretty controversial songs. I think they just liked to stir the pot. I just found you and subbed. Thanks again!!!
Really enjoyeed your reaction. The Stones are still touring, after 60 years.
This song, Paint It Black,Angie,She’s a Rainbow. Some of my favorites
This is my absolute favorite Stones song. The creativity in the perspective of the lyrics, of the instruments, everything .. just so unique and creative. And it sounds great!
You got it. In addition to the sultry sexy crazy rhythms and such, it’s such a literary song.
Tumbling Dice & Can’t you hear me knocking are a couple of my favorite Rolling Stones songs.

The first time they played it in the states there was a city wide power outage. People freaked…
The Rolling Stones are truly one of the greatest rock groups of all time. The depth of their music catalog is astounding and mind blowing!

My Mom tried to stop me from listening to this in the 1970s, but like you, this song is FIRE!!
Mom also banned Cat Scratch Fever and any Black Sabbath.
That's exactly what they wanted to do! Let your mind paint a picture!
You're awfully good at picking out what is going on in the moment. Very impressive analysis, my friend.
The whoo-whoo in the chorus enhances.

first hit in 1963 and stll going , the best rock n roll band in the world during sixties
This version was released in 1968, the Jacksons didn't sign with Motown until 1969. Great reaction channel Shon.
Tremendous reaction 🤘
The Stones definitely are one of the best studio-bands of all times
Car wreck in a vintage Corvette, friends and bandmates stuck with him ! Great to see , we need more love !
Of all the Rolling Stones many many hits, this one is my favourite.
If you’re truly a music person, you HAVE to jump into the Rolling Stones history. One of the most important bands ever!
For years they were called “the greatest rock’n roll band in the world”

I’ve always interpreted this as he has sympathy for the devil because some use this mythical figure as the one to blame for all the evils done by mankind
His name is "You" and "I" the devil is within all of us and it is our life's mission to not allow our actions to give it life and substance.
To me the message of this song was pretty simple. The expression "THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT" is just commentary how mankind can be cruel, crooked, mean, violent etc. "Devilish" behavior has been part of the human existence. What a brilliant song , musically and lyrically. One of their best🔥🎵❗ Happy to see you dive in to greatness.

Paint It Black is kind of a must hear and is recommend it for your next song by them. You'll get plenty of other requests. Here's another... Heartbreaker.
Love the Sones! Love your music choices and reactions! I recommend Paint it Black & As Tears go By. But they have so many hits to pick from. One of the all time best groups!
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
YOU must react to "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by the Rolling Stones!!!
There is a reason that the Stones have been selling out Venues for approaching 6 decades!
They are undoubtably the best band of all time!
The Rolling Stones are one of the ten bands who made rock and roll. They are deep well from which you can draw a lot of material. "Satisfaction" was probably their first big hit in the early 60's. They are still performing today with the lead singer in his 70's and the guitarist seemingly immortal. ;)
Check out Gimme Shelter as well as Can Year Me Knocking.....one of the best Stones jams on record. May the amazing Mr. Bobby Keys on saxophone RIP.
The Rolling Stones are on a whole different level Shon. This is a rabbit hole you must dive into as all of their songs are gold! Thank you for the awesome reaction as always. :)
I highly recommend you react to the Stones performing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" live at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, just so you can see how much of a badass Mick Jagger is when performing live onstage. If you react to it, make sure it's the Rock and Roll Circus gig though.
I have been enjoying your enjoyment of songs... and I'm actually impressed by your interpretations
This song has been used in movies soundtrack s. One movie it was in a Denzel Washington movie.
