Keith Richards wrote the song about his girlfriend leaving him for Jimi Hendrix and her slide into serious heroin addiction along with Jimi..Giving her the name Tuesday is a sarcastic reference to an old English poem "Tuesday's child is full of grace" when grace was the very thing she lacked !
Yes absolutely his work in the band added the element that actually saved some of the biggest hits in the early Rolling Stones career like this song and under my thumb that were on the cutting room floor because there was something missing to make the songs pop Brian Jones had a bigger impact in the sixties Stones than what people realize!
Written by Keith Richards about Linda Keith, who left him for Jimi Hendrix and got really bad into drugs. I think I remember from Keith’s autobiography that he called her family to go get her in America because she was such a mess. But don’t quote me on that one, it’s been years since I read that thing. The unique and talented Brian Jones provided the ear candy for this one with the recorder, bless him.
About the failed relationship & the song, Kieth Richards has said "It was very mournful, very, VERY Ruby Tuesday and it was a Tuesday." He elaborated "That's one of those things - some chick you've broken up with. And all you've got left is the piano and the guitar and a pair of panties. And it's goodbye you know. And so it just comes out of that".
@UCrPLpwFVOaVgWgAgjlXihSQ No. Melanie did a cover of it but it was Keith's song about his girlfriend, Linda Keith. It is attributed to Jagger/Richards. Supposedly Brian helped out with the medley early on.
This song was played acoustically by a music therapist for my grandma when she was in hospice, ready to pass. He sang it for her because my mom and I shared that we all went to a Rolling Stones concert together. One of our best memories as a family. Ever since, this song has a whole new meaning to it. Absolute waterworks in the hospital. Can't listen to it without tearing up.
In 2007 I was privileged to see the Rolling Stones live at the Isle of Wight festival. I was always more of a Beatles 'fan' so I was just happy to be there, it was exceptional. Later in the evening the Rolling Stones brought Amy Winehouse on to the stage and sang "Aint to Proud to Beg" and it was just out of this world amazing - earlier that afternoon Amy W was to say it kindly mediocre. She came alive when performing with the best.
Samuel E. Beall III used the title of the song when he started his restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday. The name was suggested by one of several fraternity brothers who were co-investors.
This was my brother's favorite song. When he came back from Viet Nam he played this song constantly. The Rolling Stones were awesome back in the day. Love your reaction.
To me the line "who could hang a name on you?" Has to do with marriage. Taking the guys last name. Also it mentioned being chained. I thinks it's about a free spirit that won't be tied down.
It’s a pretty safe bet that the song came first, seeing as I’m guessing the restaurant in question is in the US and the Rolling Stones are a British band. And yes it’s very psychedelic-sounding.
They hate admitting that the British are the Musical Masters, all these Reaction Music people always try to make out that everything is American, such a Joke.
@@tradeladder146 To be fair, they might not realise they’re British. Also, I’ve noticed that Americans tend to assume the rest of the world has heard of everything American. Of course we’ve heard of a lot of things because of film and TV, but even then it’s not much in reality, and certainly back in the 60s it’s extremely unlikely that anyone here would’ve known any restaurant chains in the States.
Yes, the restaurant was named after the song. The name was suggested to Sandy Beall, the guy who started the chain, by one of his college fraternity brothers, who was also a co-investor
There was already a very popular restaurant called TGI Fridays ( Thank God its Friday) or for short Fridays.Ruby Tuesday basically ripped off the format, food and all. And of course the name Tuesday oppose to Fridays.
In the day, a common question was "Stones or Beatles" basically asking which is your favorite. I would always say Beatles. The only exception is this song, not quite so hard, very melodical and easy on the ears. Thanks
Brad nailed it. It came out in 67. You can hear the youth in Mick's voice. I think their 1st big hit was Let's Spend The Night Together. Ed Sullivan made them say "Let's Spend some time together" because of the censors back then.
I was born in 1965, and I had never heard of the rolling stones till I was about 10 or so. But when I first heard those songs from the sixties, It was like I knew them already. I guess when your a baby, things you hear get stuck in your subconscious. It was haunting, it really was.
This is my personal favorite Stones song because they were changing styles and their writing was getting deeper (see Paint It Black).. it was flower time and the next step for them was psychedelic (She's A Rainbow).. Then it got even better as you have listened already to some great other later songs. They are and will always be I think on a long term basis, The greatest rock band ever. Which will open up a can of worms...lol.. thanks for a fine review.
Now THIS is the classic Rolling Stones. During their early years they had an original sound and style of music with Mick Jagger etching his name and voice in the history books.
I always looked at this song as someone (doesn't have to be a woman) following their own path in life. Hence, the lyrics that always resonated with me are : "Catch your dreams before they slip away," and "Dying all the time/Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind."
You guys are sooooo funny! I love it when you sometimes over analyze the lyrics. Why Ruby Tuesday? Just try singing any other day of the week after Ruby and you got your answer.
It's just that's what we're used to hearing, but any day of the week, except Saturday, would still work, the rest all have two syllables which scans fine.
No it wasn’t , the song was recorded in 1966 , the restaurant wasn’t established until 1972 . The meaning of the song : It was very mournful, very, VERY Ruby Tuesday and it was a Tuesday." Keith Richards said of "Ruby Tuesday": "That's one of those things - some chick you've broken up with. And all you've got left is the piano and the guitar and a pair of panties. And it's goodbye you know. And so it just comes out of that.
@@karenmandeville7116 Hi Karen , it sounded like a good myth . I wonder if the Stones ate at the restaurant, when they were in the states .😂I didn’t mean to come off as rude at all , I thought so too, but quickly went to Google .👍❤️
The restaurant Ruby Tuesdays was started in 1972 in Knoxville Tenn by Sandy Beall III, a student at the University of Tennessee. Beall got some of his frat brothers to invest and one suggested he name the restaurant after the Rolling Stones song, which had been released in 1966.
This song was a huge part of the 1967 “Summer of Love”. It went #1 and was paired as a double-A sided record with “Lets Spend The Night Together”…also went #1…but in England
The first time I heard/saw this song was on 'Top of the Pops' as a new release with Brian Jones sitting cross legged on the piano playing the recorder. A complete change from the earlier very energetic songs/performances! I used it as a demonstration to my mother in law that the Stones were not just 'noise'.
One of my favorite Brian Jones era songs. He brought so much to this band with his choice of exotic instruments. He was also one of the founding members and he taught Keith Richards how to play slide guitar. After his sudden and tragic death, he was practically erased from the band's history. Charlie Watts (drummer) and Bill Wyman (bass) were the only members who went to his funeral. You should also listen to Psychic TV's tribute song to him. It's called " Godstar" and blames Mick, Keith, and Andrew Loog Oldham (manager) for Brian's death.
Amazing how a guy who beat women, fathered several children out of wedlock and did not support them, abused every known drug to man, and from all accounts was a miserable person to be around - is even mentioned in positive terms. He couldn’t even play anything starting in 68 - look at the footage of him in the film Sympathy For The Devil. He was so screwed up he couldn’t even function. He was kicked out of the band and paid off. The vote to kick him out was unanimous too. His drug use ended him
@@flyingburritobro68 All OP's saying is that he was a pretty invaluable part of the band. And they're right. When Jones left, TRS became just a regular, though still pretty top tier, rock band. There were no longer any exotic instrumental curveballs that Brian brough to the table, e.g., the mellatron, marimba, recorder, etc. I don't know why Jagger/Ricahrds fans always seem to want to totally minimise the guy's contributions to the early parts of this band's history. Yeah he was a total asshole behind closed doors. So was Lennon. So was every member of TRS themselves, for that matter. Doesn't invalidate their contributions.
Yes, the restaurant was named after this song. I believe the song is from 1967 and the Ruby Tuesday corporation was formed in 1995. It was named after the song by a frat buddy of the founder who suggested it.
Yes…the restaurant chain was named after this song. It was started by several University of Tennessee grad students in Knoxville, TN in 1972 headed by Sammy Beale.
"When you change with every new day". In other words she was not there on Monday and she was gone by Wednesday. Thus the name, Ruby Tuesday. Tuesday is just about as neutral, fleeting and nondescript a day in the week as there is.
Talking of restaurants, the favourite meal of many a British person is nicknamed 'a ruby' and means a curry of some sort (Korma, Masala etc) but the derivation is from singer Ruby Murray. That having been said, there has been an advertising slogan in the past for an after work pint of beer and a meal on the second day of the working week. "Ruby Tuesday" but long after this song came out.
Yes, Lex. The restaurant chain was named after the song. The owner wasn't a Stones fan but his fraternity brother was and suggested the name for his restaurant.
When this came out as a single on a 45 RPM record the side B song was Lets Spend the Night Together. That flip side song was banned from being played on the radio. This was 1968. My have times changed.
The height of the Stones glorious pre-psychedelic baroque pop era, which started developing in 1965 through to the classic you've just played in 1967. The Stones were never as experimental and varied again.
Ruby Tuesday was born out of a $10,000 endowment Sandy Beall had received from a friend and operator of several Pizza Huts to open his own restaurant. Beall took the name from The Rolling Stones song "Ruby Tuesday", after a suggestion by one of several fraternity brothers who were co-investors.

Some other Stones songs that you might like: "As Tears Go By" either the original studio recording, or the live performance from the "Shine A Light" concert "Lady Jane" "Happy"
This is a great song. Apparently the restaurant chain, which I wasn't aware of since they're not in the UK, was founded in 1972 and named after the song which was recorded in 1966.
I still like the earlier 60s Stones songs, as they take me back to a simpler time for me then. The song came out in1967, some time before the restaurant.
In my 20s, I worked at a restaurant in East Lansing, Michigan called Beggar's Banquet. The name was inspired by the Rolling Stones' album by the same name.
Not the only song that inspired a business name… The back cover of the Doors “Morrison Hotel” album, was the pic of a grungy old dive bar called .. The Hard Rock Cafe
I think everybody else is explaining what this song is about but when I heard it I bought this album when it first came out I was a young teenager and I listened to this album over and over again I have no idea what it meant back then but the music was beautiful especially with headphones on
Keith has said that the name was inspired by an ad for rubies he had seen and the day happened to be Tuesday He collaborated with Brian Jones on the song.
Guys in 1967 there were not a lot of great lyricists in pop music, which was relatively new and still finding its feet, except for Procal Harem, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, the Beatles and Cat Stevens. But it was the time of the great music goldrush, and for most of the time bands and pop singers were happy if they got a decent rhyme. Pop music was a way out for low income school dropouts and social outcasts for the main part. They were jumping at their chance (if it came) and pumping out 3 min songs with fluffy bubble like melodies. The real good stuff came from 69 (in my opinion) and in the 70s. But there definitely were some gems in 67, 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', 'Light My Fire', 'I am the Walrus' and 'I can see for Miles'..
considering almost every song was wrote by Jagger/Richards I don't know why... Jones wrote the Paint it Black riff and that's his main musical contribution to the band's catalogue... Mick Taylor contributed more and Ronnie Wood much more. Apart from dying young, which aparently canonizes everybody, I don't see what's up with freaking Brian Jones
Listen : She's a hippy-dippy girl who's a free soul and leaves whenever she wants. She can't be held down. You can't "hang a (last) name on her (marry her). So all he can do is let her go and tell her he's gonna miss her . Brian Jones plays the recorder (a kind of flute) , The one that sounds like a cello is Keith playing a double bass (the big stand up ones) with a bow .Oh yes, and Ruby Tuesday is just one of those crazy names hippy chicks used to give themselves .
Brian Jones was a multi-instrumentalist and had more influence on the Stones than he is given credit for, nowadays. Brian Jones plays sax on the Beatles recording "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number".
Keith Richards wrote the song about his girlfriend leaving him for Jimi Hendrix and her slide into serious heroin addiction along with Jimi..Giving her the name Tuesday is a sarcastic reference to an old English poem "Tuesday's child is full of grace" when grace was the very thing she lacked !
Thank you, an intelligent and interesting post, such a rarity on this Channel.
Yea what u said..............
Dam! Well said bro.
Very interesting anecdote
I didn't know that
The great Brian Jones' recorder really adds to this song and makes it shine.
Yes absolutely his work in the band added the element that actually saved some of the biggest hits in the early Rolling Stones career like this song and under my thumb that were on the cutting room floor because there was something missing to make the songs pop Brian Jones had a bigger impact in the sixties Stones than what people realize!
He died mysteriously,
@@marcillioficino4663 Yeah he really did !
Well that makes me feel better! My son had to get a recorder for 4th grade 🤣
sure, it's the recorder 🤦

I haven't read that book in since 2015, read it once only, and Ozzy's twice. Both really good.
Brian Jones was a huge part of that early Stones sound. Criminally underrated today.
Many have said that Brian actually co wrote the song

My big brother used to let me listen to his records. I played this one over and over, I loved it so much when I was 12.
Another great song by The Stones. Melanie did a superb cover of Ruby Tuesday. Well worth a listen.
Love that cover!
@@fordhouse8b Esp her correct Country version as it was only uploaded recently as the others sound different.
This and "Lady Jane" showed their softer side, and are two of my favorite Stones songs.

Wikipedia says yes, the restaurant chain was named after the Stones’ song.
It's right this time.
Pretty obvious really !
It was on their official website that the restaurant chain was named after the song.
Of Course!! I course I’m giving away my age, too!
To me the line "who could hang a name on you?" Has to do with marriage. Taking the guys last name. Also it mentioned being chained. I thinks it's about a free spirit that won't be tied down.
..or you could be completely wrong on all counts. Just enjoy the song, Donna, please.
a very intense free spirit.
One of their many classics.
Donald Fagen (Steely Dan) was asked who "Peg" (from the song) was. He said we needed a name that was a dotted quarter note long. That's lyrics 101.
I always took "who could hang a name on you?" as saying that she'd never take another person's name.
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Wild Horses” and “Its Only Rock ‘n Roll”!!
It’s only Rock and Roll but I like it, love it, yes I do!
The live version of "Horses" with Eddie Vedder is spectacular
Can’t you hear me knockn’? Will throw them for a loop!
Love this song! Love the Stones - my favorite band. Best line: Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind! Totally awesome 👏🏻🥁🎼🎸

And Jagger approaches something akin to sonorous singing in this one, which he has done here and there throughout his career.
The Beatles, the Stones and the Who were the Holy Trinity of the British invasion.
Stones always been harder versions of rock 🪨
Brad nailed it. It came out in 67. You can hear the youth in Mick's voice. I think their 1st big hit was Let's Spend The Night Together. Ed Sullivan made them say "Let's Spend some time together" because of the censors back then.
Remembering hearing about Jim saying, "We just DID the Ed Sullivan show," when The Doors played.
Their first bi g hit was "Satisfaction" in 65.Put them on the map.
Their first hit was a Buddy Holly song - Not Fade Away.

Now THIS is the classic Rolling Stones. During their early years they had an original sound and style of music with Mick Jagger etching his name and voice in the history books.
Heard this in a Wes Anderson movie, think Rushmore. Been in love with it ever since.
It wasn't in "Rushmore". The Rolling Stones doing "I Am Waiting", was in the film, but it wasn't on the soundtrack that was released.
One of their best songs ♥
This is early mid-60's Stones. Takes me waaay back to the time when Beatles were #1 and Stones were #2 and then there was everybody else.
One of the stones earliest hits
It was from 67 and they had many hits before it

Yes, the restaurant chain was started in '72. Direct relation to the song by Rolling Stones by Sandy Beale. Song came first...
This song was from 1966 or 67, and the Ruby Tuesday restaurant concept was started in 1972 by Samuel E. Beall III.
Highly recommend checking out Melanie’s cover of Ruby Tuesday. She brings a different perspective and rawness to the song and IMHO makes it her own.
I worked at Ruby Tuesday when I was younger, and yes, the restaurant name is directly taken from this song.

This song came out in 1966 whereas the restaurant didn't appear until at least the 1980s. I don't recall seeing the restaurant chain until the 90s.
Early catalog. Brian Jones era song. Trippy, psychedelic.
I love this song and period in their career. Check out "Out of Time".
From my college days. Love this!
Keith has said that the name was inspired by an ad for rubies he had seen and the day happened to be Tuesday He collaborated with Brian Jones on the song.
You guys need to do Tumbling Dice by the Stones as your next reaction of them
Guys in 1967 there were not a lot of great lyricists in pop music, which was relatively new and still finding its feet, except for Procal Harem, Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, the Beatles and Cat Stevens. But it was the time of the great music goldrush, and for most of the time bands and pop singers were happy if they got a decent rhyme. Pop music was a way out for low income school dropouts and social outcasts for the main part. They were jumping at their chance (if it came) and pumping out 3 min songs with fluffy bubble like melodies. The real good stuff came from 69 (in my opinion) and in the 70s. But there definitely were some gems in 67, 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', 'Light My Fire', 'I am the Walrus' and 'I can see for Miles'..
Check out "Liza Radley" by the Jam
Yes, the restaurant chain was named after this song as it was on their official website.
The greatest Rock N Roll band ever 🤘🤘
❤️❤️❤️I love the Stones🍾🍷🌹🥰
When I first heard this it was on a cheap transistor radio. I thought it was Groovy Tuesday. 😂
The Rolling Stones writing a song about a burger restaurant? Come on guys.
I wish I could put a ❤️ rather than a thumbs up on this UA-cam interface but I'll just do it here. Fantastic.
There was STONES songs during Brian Jones and after Brian Jones. The difference is noticeable.
Yea they made their best albums by far after he was gone. Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street to start.
considering almost every song was wrote by Jagger/Richards I don't know why... Jones wrote the Paint it Black riff and that's his main musical contribution to the band's catalogue... Mick Taylor contributed more and Ronnie Wood much more. Apart from dying young, which aparently canonizes everybody, I don't see what's up with freaking Brian Jones
Check out ,"as tears go by" their first original hit. World wide . Also " the last time" set the standard at that time.
Listen : She's a hippy-dippy girl who's a free soul and leaves whenever she wants. She can't be held down. You can't "hang a (last) name on her (marry her). So all he can do is let her go and tell her he's gonna miss her . Brian Jones plays the recorder (a kind of flute) , The one that sounds like a cello is Keith playing a double bass (the big stand up ones) with a bow .Oh yes, and Ruby Tuesday is just one of those crazy names hippy chicks used to give themselves .
Brian Jones was a multi-instrumentalist and had more influence on the Stones than he is given credit for, nowadays. Brian Jones plays sax on the Beatles recording "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number".
it did inspire a restaurant years later
Shes A Rainbow is another trippy Stone song🥰
Song for generations of the past and future! Timeless
An absolutely wonderful version of this is by Melanie Safka!! Think you would love it!! Take care.
Lynyrd Skynyrd has a song Tuesday's Gone about a girl too!
This song sounds the best sung by a bunch of drunk people around a bonfire. We sounded awesome we all did an encore.
Super interesting interpretation; good job guys
