Gimme Shelter is definitely about the Vietnam war and the reality of the brutal weather (if I don’t get some shelter I’m gonna fade away), the fact that one shot of a gun is murder in the name of war, and the atrocities that civilians like women and children were exposed to. The screams of the female singer and the cracking of her voice are what really bring it home for me. As for Love is just a kiss away… 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve heard different thoughts on that but I always took it to mean LOVE is the antidote to war.
@sally2shoes Wow. You're really deep. If you think any part of this song is about weather, you need to permanently retire your pipe. Mick Jagger would laugh in your sorry-ass face about your interpretation of this song.
You mean the legendary Merry Clayton, who was pregnant and in curlers after being woke up in the middle of the night to come in for the back up vocals. One take. Unfortunately the next day, she had a miscarraige. Her brother Sam was the percussionist for Little Feat.
Legend is, that The Stones were recording this late at night, and they felt the song was missing something. So they called Merry Clayton and woke her up. She gets in her car, shows up in her nightgown and robe, rollers in her hair, lays down her vocal - in a single take - and then fucked off. 😆 What a ledge.
@@rondawildey5801 Had a miscarriage after that. Guess the poor thing's body was not up to the power of the song and the time of night. Who wants to scream RAPE, MURDER in the middle of the night, let alone a pregnant one.
If you do Sympathy for the Devil, there's an official lyric video that makes the historical references in the song easier to comprehend. There's also one for Gimme Shelter.
Maybe the darkest, most quietly frightening song ever. It was TheStones’ answer to The Beatles peace and love stuff - an acknowledgment that human nature is dangerous indeed, and anyone hoping for Utopia is being foolish.
Charlie Watts was the drummer until he sadly passed recently. RIP . If you passed him on street you’d think he was a bank clerk but in fact he is considered one of the best ever jazz and rock drummers ever. The sStones would not not be the glorious Stones without him
Last words are "Just a kiss away", don´t forget. I saw them in 1973 in Gothenburg, seventeen years old, and found a place absolutely in front of the stage, and there they were, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, playing their hearts out. I can not describe the emotions I had, it was surreal - but God what a show they gave.
The Rolling Stones core members on this song are Mick Jagger (vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitars), Bill Wyman (bass), and Charlie Watts (drums). They are joined by guest musicians Nicky Hopkins (piano), Merry Clayton (vocals), and Jimmy Miller (percussion, also producer)
Nice reaction MD, believe me when I say you should do every song on this album cause every one is a banger. This IMHO is the best Stones album they ever did. A real masterpiece.
Do yourself a favour and go to one of their concerts. They are touring the states and will also be in Vancouver,Canada this year 2024. Great reaction. I have seen them 4 times.
I think a few tracks have Mick Taylor overdubs, but I could be wrong. He was hired late in the process of finishing this one. I think there might also be some Brian Jones parts buried in the mix. This was definitely a transitional album for The Stones. This song is 100% Keith though.
Letting us know that war and social injustice have been here for thousands of years.The final verse gives hope to LOVE one another.Someday we will learn
Great song and excellent comentary. I really appreciate all the hard work you put into bringing us a diversity of music and singers. I thnk you enjoy their song Symphony for the Devil. It's an Iconic Stones song.
The Vietnam War lasted from the early 60s until 1975 and along with Civil rights, and the political assassinations of President Kennedy his brother and MLK it was a turbulent time in America that collide with a major shift in the subject matter of music which just a decade or two earlier were about love, rainbows, and "nice topics", so you get song of Antiwar, social injustice, rape, murder. Remember, every armed conflict starts with the first shot, hence the lyric it's just a shot away.
Checkout the 3 minute clip of Merry Clayton and Mick Jagger explaining how they did the 'grape, murder, it's just a shot away' bit...Fascinating, chilling and if you don't get goose pimples hearing her voice on it's own at the end of the clip...you have no soul!
"Honky Tonk Woman" Brown Sugar" "Tumbling Dice" "Under My Thumb" Start Me Up" some of my favorites and were hits for them. The other two band members guitarist/bass Ronnie Woods and drummer Charlie Watts ( who recently passed) along with Mick and Keith comprised of the most recent version of the band.
Ronnie didn't join until a decade after this album. This album was made in the transition between founder guitarist Brian Jones leaving and the hiring of his replacement Mick Taylor.
Here is Merry Clayton talking about recording "Gimme Shelter" (from the documentary "20 Feet from Stardom", which features interviews with many back-up singers of many bands): ua-cam.com/video/ChONufP0FEs/v-deo.htmlsi=5lnMrZd5ZxcbaByZ
No one ever mentions Shine a Light 🤔 anyone else out there dig it as much as I do? 🤷🏼♀️ “May the good Lord.. shine a light on you.. Make every song your favorite tune.. May the good Lord shine a light on you.. Warm like the evening sun” 😊
“Shine a Light” is a great song and one of the highlights from Exile. It actually derives from a 1969 session with Leon Russell that produced a demo called “Get a Line on You,” which was about founding member Brian Jones’ slow decline. The more gospel elements came about courtesy of Billy Preston, who played both piano and organ on the track and was inspired by Jagger, Charlie Watts, and Preston’s visit to a local evangelical church in Los Angeles. Another gospel-tinged classic from Exile is “Let it Loose,” which might be Jagger’s greatest vocal.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 thank you for sharing that. I know a lot of “classic rock” but I don’t know much about the history and specifics.. Leon Russel is a very celebrated musician where I live (Tulsa) but unfortunately I’ve never really delved into what made his contribution to music special. And Billy Preston I know from the Peter Jackson doc about The Beatles.. it appeared that he has this talent for just dropping in and contributing to a song without really being told “THIS is what you need to do and this is how”.. his contribution to Don’t Let Me Down (in my opinion) MADE the song next level amazing. The more I learn about him the more I want to know. So thank you again for sharing this. The gospel influence on Shine a Light is really what draws me in (which is funny bc I’m not religious at all). I’m gonna go look up the other song you named! ✌🏼 cheers.
My memory is that the song came out after the Altamont concert, at which people were killed. Of course, the Vietnam War was still raging also, and it was always on everyone's minds.
This 1969 song seems to be the favorite Rolling Stones song today, but if you had asked people back in the seventies what their first Rolling Stones song to listen to should be, they would probably have said "Satisfaction" from 1965 or "It's Only Rock-and-Roll" from 1974. Those were considered kind of their signature songs back then.
The Stones were the funkiest classic rock band, always a great groove. I'd suggest the song, Let It Bleed, the title cut from this same album. It's amazing.
Glad you read the words to these songs cause these songs as Great as the music is the story they tell is truly amazing.example :Hand of Fate. Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker or Honky Tonk Woman.
This song is one of the top 5 of the rock era. Goosebumps. It's also Keith Richards' crowning moment. Merry Clayton absolutely makes this song, and she paid a price for it, sadly. The more you listen to the Stones, the more you feel their blues foundation. At times they do some really genuine blues, like The Spider and the Fly. Somehow, as a teen, I just didn't get them, but now at 74, it just clicks. But so does Tupac, so go figure. I love watching young guys realizing the greatness of what came before. 1966-69 was the high point of rock and its offshoots, and it continued into the 70's. But there was a gawdawful amount of drek during that time, too, so you have to be diligent in clawing through it all.
Your show just came up on my phone this morning ( a little after midnight March 30 snd I'm binge watching. That female voice is Merry Clayton, she was pregnant at the time and it was reported that she had a miscarriage afterwards.
This is my favorite Stones song. Everything about it is great and with Merry Clayton doin backup, kills it. It would've been great if you had the video to the song, it would've given it some more depth.
Two reaction suggestions:: Obscure Gem: "Memory Motel" from "Black & Blue" 1976 (With Mick & Keith singing together!) Classic Big Hit: "Paint It Black" from "Aftermath" 1966 (The late Brian Jones at his peak!)
Nice reaction my man! this is an absolute classic. Another 'Stones' classic and my 'fave' of theirs is Sympathy For The Devil, not sure if you reacted to it? if not you gotta do it!!..................ohh do the official video to all stones, it will help :)
At the same time as the Beatles...along comes the bad boys, The Stones. The start of the British Invasion. Ooooo baby, so much to choose from! It was an awesome time for music, in a not so awesome time in the world. Music was our escape. ❤
Some good picks, never was a huge Rolling Stones fan but this was on the radio often, surprising considering the lyrics are actually quite sharp and direct, good Rock and Roll knows one thing, don't ever play it nice, be bold, be brave, go for the throat.
I view it as a song about threats coming from all directions. Natural ones. Man made ones. And lives can be ended in an instant from either. Or changed. But just as there are threats coming so to can love come. As for natural threats we have no control over them. But humans do have a choice when it comes to love or destruction.
A good song but try "Angie" or "Miss You" or "Wild Horses" and finally "Waiting on a Friend." So many great ones from this band. To me the words "controled chaos" come to mind when listening to them. Great rythyms and riffs! The words also hold some marvelous lyrics!
Hey my Gentle Absorbing Great music Guy ❤ yr Genuine reactions. Plz plz """" yr really missing out """" ! I would ALWAYS DO THA' """"LIVE VERSIONS """"" SO U can see all of tha' magic/moves/Mannerisms to experience FULLEST-VIBES to these Captivating Artists. ❤frm tha' 🇬🇧 Xxx.

I love all these Avenues of music your going down and such a mature reaction for a young dude. I think you might like THE WHO if your digging all this stuff I’d like to see you dive in to The Who think you will like that 💙
Oh Oh Oh please check out **Can't You Hear Me Knocking** at some point Thanks for your time & consideration! sorry paused to put this heh k going back in to watch the reaction now heh Weeeee
While it's true that this became an anti war song, it was actually started by Keith Richards while watching out his window as people scrambled for cover during a hard rainstorm.
This song is genius because of Merry. That war was unedited on tv daily for so many years. Songs like this helped many of us get through it. Shame on you for interrupting her and referring to her a backup singer.
important song, wouodnt b v saem withour merrys fine powerful emotive vocal, also a harp in ver played by mick, kinda sounds distorted?, n v guitars give it a disticntive sound, one of v stones best songs 2 me.
MD - you may want to give a listen to a softer side of the Rolling Stones with these songs: Angie, Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, Knockin' on Heaven's Door ( Bob Dylan original ), Wild Horses
@@paulqueripel3493 No wonder you can't find it - the Stones did not cover Knockin' on Heaven's Door! I got the song Can't You Hear Me Knockin' by them mixed up with the Heaven's Door one. However, Dylan's tune has been covered by almost everyone else ,and their grandmother!! LOL Sorry for the slip up.
The Beautiful Imperfect solo by Merry Clayton makes this song . I cringe when I think that today some idiot producer would auto tune Merry's Voice breaking during her solo to "fix it" because it wasn't spot on perfect . Idiot doesn't realize That Imperfection IS what makes it So Perfect .... just sayin' 😎
If you want to react to the quintessential Rolling Stones simply look up their album(s) Hot Rocks ( It'sThe Best Of The Stones) In the meantime react to Sympathy For The Devil.
You should react to these two songs from R S album get yer ya ya out . These song are their best if you want a live experience . Stray cat blues or midnight rider are two of the better songs .
For a different vocal by Mick Jagger. Try a lesser known song called “Backstreet Girl” it’s from earlier in their career. 😎 ua-cam.com/video/2bScwCdYkDc/v-deo.htmlsi=MuDP6eQQAtZbsDtB
ua-cam.com/video/YaKl2ec4J_w/v-deo.htmlsi=vC78G81DfbSVf6Mi Not the greatest quality But this is Mick jagger with Tina turner They sang a lot together This one is its only rock and roll
What are the chances? You paused right at the most famous moment of the song! Couldn’t have had worse timing if you’d tried. But hey, I know you didn’t know that. It’s cool. I just had to laugh though. 😉
Gimme Shelter is definitely about the Vietnam war and the reality of the brutal weather (if I don’t get some shelter I’m gonna fade away), the fact that one shot of a gun is murder in the name of war, and the atrocities that civilians like women and children were exposed to.

@@rondawildey5801 And mis-carried a few days later (some attribute to her performance in that particular session).
The female vocalist on Gimme Shelter is Merry Clayton who is an American gospel singer. She provided backing vocals for lots of bands
Song is 50 plus years and still a MASTERPIECE. of rock.
If you do Sympathy for the Devil, there's an official lyric video that makes the historical references in the song easier to comprehend. There's also one for Gimme Shelter.
A stunning war song. It took me years of humming along until I read the lyrics and I was blown away. Brilliant ❤
My favorite Stones song ❤
'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' is a masterpiece.
This my favorite Rolling Stones song.
It's certainly one of their very best ever.
Maybe the darkest, most quietly frightening song ever. It was TheStones’ answer to The Beatles peace and love stuff - an acknowledgment that human nature is dangerous indeed, and anyone hoping for Utopia is being foolish.
Merry Clayton's vocals on this song are the real highlight. So powerful.
The coolest beginning of any song EVER! Lisa 💖🎸
