Was time for some more STONES!! Had to Show Alex this track!! Banger to start the week!! Some bangers post on Patreon to start the month strong! Time for class, Also, what’s the next song we gotta check out by stones?! Let us know!! 🔥🤟🏻
I like song today ok-about an 8 (sax solo was 10) But I always loved “Only Rock n Roll” and “Brown Sugar” a lot-live versions cuz recordings seem slower
our geography teacher used to play Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St on a loop,so we were schooled in the mighty Stones,at errrr... school. England was a very cool place back then,guess you had to be there.
I myself don't need to imagine it. I was there. :-) I truly appreciate that I was in High School when this stuff came out. I was very much into it then and now 50 years later I'm enjoying it again. To me, its way cool that guys like Andy & Alex are "discovering" just how great the music was back in "Those days" Enjoy and rock on Gents! O and while I'm at it might I suggest "She's a Rainbow" or "2000 Light Years from Home"?
@AnonaMousetookmaname well chit, now that I think of it do remember seeing those commercials. :-( I'll have to dig a little deeper into the Stones catalog to come up with a better suggestion. Thanks for the heads up.
Mick Taylor took the Stones to a different level. Just so you know, the second part of the song was an unplanned improvisation between Taylor and Bobby Keys. The engineers left the tape running by mistake.
@@peterquinones3522 That's true too, and he has been in ill health for a while. Saw him several years ago in a small club with less than 200 people, and I couldn't help but think he used to play for 80,000 people, but he was talented
This song was recorded in one take. At the break, some of the musicians started putting down their instruments, thinking it was over. A couple of them kept going and everyone picked up their instruments to finish it out.
I'm sure someone has already said this but "Sticky Fingers" had an actual working zipper on the cover! Imagine hearing that a new Stones album was out and you go to the record store and see the zipper. It was crazy and sure, a little gimmicky, but everyone in there was going "IT REALLY WORKS!" I bought two, one to listen to and one to keep forever, and I still have both. One is well worn, almost worn out, and the other is still in the plastic wrap.
This was going to be the 1st album I ever bought with my own money I made working at a drug store soda fountain....Went to Woolco's record Department store with my Mom. She saw the zipper on the album and said no way. So I went for Iron Butterflys Inagaddadavida My mom asked the clerk if Iron Butterfly was some of that underground acid music ....The dude said no mam just rock and roll. Bless that young man! I got the Sticky fingers album a couple years later .....
Rusty Dime My elder brother, 26, bought the album when it came out. I was probably about 15 then. In the UK. We both played it to death. I kept it and wore it out. Years later, I bought another copy. It is well worn too. Thank goodness for i-music.
Shspurs1 Maybe the more correct statement would be, “One the best FORGOTTEN guitarists” But to your point, yeah I really enjoy that era of the Stones a lot.
Here's what Mick Taylor (Guitar) had to say about the recording..."Can't You Hear Me Knocking" ... is one of my favourites ... [The jam at the end] just happened by accident; that was never planned. Towards the end of the song I just felt like carrying on playing. Everybody was putting their instruments down, but the tape was still rolling and it sounded good, so everybody quickly picked up their instruments again and carried on playing. It just happened, and it was a one-take thing. A lot of people seem to really like that part.[1]..Then Keith Richards: The jam at the end wasn't inspired by Carlos Santana. We didn't even know they were still taping. We thought we'd finished. We were just rambling and they kept the tape rolling. I figured we'd just fade it off. It was only when we heard the playback that we realised, Oh, they kept it going. Basically we realised we had two bits of music. There's the song and there's the jam. [1] I saw a doc. on this and from what I recall it was recorded in Keith Richards cold concrete basement. Taylor, and Keys were at one end of this long basement, and the rest were at the other end.
Love this story about the Stones. While on tour, drummer a Charlie Watts gets a message that “Mick wants to talk to the drummer” (or words to that effect). Charlie gets dressed, goes to Mick’s room, decks him! Knocks him to the floor, saying, “I’m not ‘your drummer’, if anything, you’re my singer!” and walks out. This story is confirmed true.
An unjustly overlooked amazement by the Stones is "Moonlight Mile" - a song of pure sexual longing. The put away their endless killer guitar riffs and bring in an orchestral arrangement that somehow adds a patina of rawness instead of the usual saccharine quality that strings in rock songs usually provide. It is mysterious and delicate until it explodes. Y'know - like sex.
@@scottingram7634 Thanks. I've always wondered why that song doesn't get the attention it deserves. One of my favorite parts is the coda: the song seems over, just easing itself to a conclusion when it starts to gather intensity, building, building and then... one of the sweetest chords I've ever heard. Hope the boys check it out.
I am 68 years old. Painful to admit. This was my music back in the day. Classic rock wasn’t a term yet. The Stones were the template of everything. This track was the soundtrack of every party, every gathering. Nobody dared disrespect these guys.
My favorite aspects of this song are Mick Taylor’s incredible playing and Charlie’s drumming. Keith takes such a back seat on this song but his licks really lend continuity to the other soloists.
I hear you, but for me the riff Keith plays lays the background for Mick’s solo. It didn’t mean it was not important, but more the supporting role for Mick’s guitar work. The riff is definitely incredible and immediately recognizable.
mick taylor is a great guitar player cheryl. if you have not already check out the albums with john mayhall. his band created three greats. peter green,eric clapton, and mick taylor.@@cherylwoodward
Jumpin Jack Flash story. Out comm site had cover music. They picked “the sound of music” sound tract. Played over and over again for at least three years. Tacked on to the end of the tape was “jumpin Jack Flash. Tape stretches over time, turning the soundtrack into a psychedelic horror story. This was the latest sixties, so many of us were altered in one way or another. We really didn’t need the help.
For me, they are. I think they left the Beatles in the dust. But let's be fair most performers are different. For example, how do you compare this with something like Pink Floyd or Miles Davis Quintet totally different planets.
Mick Taylor was my favorite Stones guitarist. He was also good earlier with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Taylor says that the jam at the end was just an accident. The tape was still rolling, so they kept playing.
Ted Rinshed Hell yeah. I’ve got the beginning of Monkey Man, up to where the vocal starts, as one of my 2 ringtones. (The other is the studio version of Tweezer Reprise by Phish).
You know when I saw you guys for the first time the image that came to mind was Beavis and Butthead. It didn't take long to realize you guys were seriously smart and good. With an understanding of what to look for in a recording and also how to properly express your opinions as to what made the song click or not. I'm in my sixties and I gotta say, I am really glad I stumbled on your channel. One of the nice moments of a day is listening to some of my old teenage school years playlist here watching you guys bobbing heads and getting it. Then expressing yourselves properly as to what and why your giving songs the rate your giving it. Keep it up guys. Two thumbs up.
The first thing to take into consideration is that The Rolling Stones formed in 1962 and have a huge catalog. Sympathy for the Devil is in my top five favorite Stones songs, so I'm anxious for you two to react to it. But here are a few (well more than a few) of my favorites: Get Off of My Cloud, Mother's Little Helper, 19th Nervous Breakdown, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Paint it Black, Under My Thumb, Waiting on a Friend, Emotional Rescue, Shattered, Let's Spend the Night Together, She's So Cold, Shattered and Wild Horses. I know there's more, but dang... Great reactions, guys.
Heartbreaker from Goat’s Head Soup is a great “groove” song by the Stones. I bet you guys would dig it! Kinda like this one, in that it doesn’t sound like many other tunes by The Glimmer Twins.
"Let's Spend the Night Together", "Time is on My Side", "Under My Thumb", and "Paint it Black" are early Stones hits that have the lo-fi feel like "Satisfaction".
The middle section is what elevates this to a true banger. A shout out for your Patreon it's a must for any subscriber, well worth the cost, if you don't sign up you are only getting half the A&A experience. My Stones pick would be Midnight Rambler
Two Stones tunes you simply MUST do......"Brown Sugar" (real banger) and an oldie but WAY goodie, "Honkie Tonk Woman". The latter is actually my all time favorite of theirs; nothing else sounds like it.....and it's unforgettable.
Gentlemen, there is a song out there (that I've never seen reacted to) that I believe is right up your alley. (In case you've never heard it) It's a banger, has a great guitar riff and a hook to die for. Please check out I Got A Line On You by Spirit. I highly recommend it. Loved your Whipping Post reaction. Keep up the fine work, RNB
From the same album, give "Bitch" a reaction. Also, "Too Rolling Stoned" from Robin Trower. More great albums came out weekly than come out in a calendar year now (my two cents).
The jam wasn't supposed to be in the song originally, the song was supposed to fade out after the lyrics, but the tape recorder was still running while the band were just jamming, it was so good so added it to the song.
Boys, The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Dive into their catalogue and fall in love. Play over stereo speakers and not earbuds. Music needs space to breathe and fill space.
When this song was played, it was played on Classic Rock FM stations which would play the whole entire song. I don't believe I've ever heard that tune on AM radio. I'm showing my age with this rebuttal but I did grow up in the 70's to which let experience all this great music!!
Back in the day it was common to have the "Short Version" that was usually played on AM radio, and sold on 45 rpm single records. The FM stations were new on the scene at the time and they'd usually play the album cut, which was usually the long version. One local station would set aside Monday night as a time when they'd play an entire newly released album. I gotta say radio in the 70s was an awesome experience.
@@organic3280 There's WRNO in New Orleans. I grew up hearing the DJ ask every time someone called in: "What does WRNO stand for?" It's always "We're the Rock of New Orleans!" And it makes me sad that today what used to be the rock of New Orleans is now a talk radio station. If you ever wonder the point in time that the world started spiraling down the drain, I believe it was when The Rock became talk radio.
The first part with the vocals was supposed to end but they just kept jammimh alomg with each other. That whole instrumental part was just a long jam that they recorded. Bobby Keys on Sax and Mick Taylor doing the lead
The second half of this song was an unplanned jam. They just happened to record it as the original plan was to end the song in the first half but they decided to keep going on the fly..... The entire song (both halves) is a singular masterpiece......
Next one should be "Time Waits For No One" from the 1974 album "It's Only Rock And Roll". It has one of the finest guitar solo's by the best musician the Stones ever had. Guitarist, Mick Taylor. Amazing lyrics also guys!
this is by FAR my favorite Stones song; I love Mick Taylor's tasty solos - adding a good jazz influence; this is a precursor to Exile on Main St. This song is what got me into the Stones. Love the original stuff and the later stuff - but the Mick Taylor era is my favorite iteration of the band. Need to check out Ventilator Blues on Exile - serious deep blues
One thing that contributes to making you feel so good at the end of this song is how that jam that you're calling the "middle part" (which I think of as the "coda") wails away insistently in a minor key for three or four minutes, but then transitions from the minor to the major key for the last 8 bars, delivering a delicious resolution.
We used to get stoned in 1971 and listen to this song. About 7:15 Keith Richards starts playing the guitar like nobodies business. A totally awesome song! 👍👍😃👍👍
Hard to go wrong with the Stones, I mean they have a catalog of music going back nearly 60yrs now, but a good in between song that I bet you haven’t heard is STRAY CAT BLUES a great raw rocking song by them , I remember them doing this song a lot on their early 70s tours.
Dudes! Get into Exile on Main Street! Best Rock n Roll album ever! Forget Some Girls! Rip This Joint; Tumbling Dice; All Down the Line; Torn n Frayed; Shine a Light! Hell anything from that album!
Legendary sax player was Bobby Keys, a hillbilly Texan from Lubbock used to watch Buddy rehearse. He's literally played on hundreds of hit records, including some of the biggest records ever made, like Dion's "The Wanderer". He was with the Stones for years, but was on tons of other artists records as well. Some of the most famous tunes ever. You get to where you can recognize his playing. He didn't read music. Played by ear. There's a great documentary about him. Google him. Sort of infamous for being best friends with, and getting into lots of trouble with Keith Richards, including accidentally setting the Playboy Mansion on fire. He wrote a very entertaining book. He passed away a couple of years ago.
Great song by all, always one of my favorites. Mick Taylor was a great guitarist, but it was Keith Richard's grungy riff in his famous open tuning that got my ear. Most musicians are lucky to write one great song, Keef wrote dozens. The middle section with percussion and sax solo was excellent, and Taylor's solo is outstanding as well.
I'm 64 and grew up in a small, but booming mill town. We were drinking and shooting pool in crappy little bars when we were 17. And the Rolling Stones were on the jukebox all the time. Everybody grinning and carrying on. Fast forward almost 50 years. I live in a college town. Semi-retired. Before COVID my buddies and wife and I would close the bars shooting pool with the kids. This song is the first you play when your turn is up. 50 Years later the kids are loving this song when they hear it. # 1 Rat bar song in the world.
Lead guitarist was Mick Taylor... on many Stones' albums.... quit around '75-ish... Then they hired the "new guy" Ronnie Wood. He's been the "new guy" for 42 yrs. ;-)
The Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, this is your birthright young pilgrims! Rock 'N' Roll, inhale deeply, travel back to the Platinum Age of music and film its all waiting for you to explore. Enjoy!
I’m not a Roling Stones fan but this definately S-tier for me guys. I think only 4 songs of the Stones are s-tier for me, “Give me Shelter”, “Painted Black”, “Angie” and this one. Amazing....dont forget....S U P E R T R A M P😁😁🔥🔥
Ginny What You’re maybe right Ginny, but I know a lot of Stones songs. Yet, I’m also here to learn, as I did with Rush😁👍🏼 knew them by name but didn’t listen to them but thanks to Andy and Alex I now love’em.
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" just gets better every time I hear it. How the jam section transitions from one theme to another is masterful and brilliant.
@@scottythetrex5197 the late great Chet Atkins said “good writers borrow, great writers steal.” No musician can get anywhere without learning (borrowing) from others, same with writers.
I remember, at the record store, it was hard to find a copy where the cellophane wasn’t ripped over the zipper because people couldn’t resist trying to pull the zipper down.
My cousin has a rock band when this album was released. We stayed up all night to figure out the words to "Bitch" so that they could pay it at their gigs.
❤️❤️ The Stones so musically talented in sooo many ways!! Was going to see them in concert but due to Covid last year cancelled. I saw them in late 80’s, great concert!!
I recently heard this was inspired by Santana. The Stones were digging what Santana was doing at the time and wanted to do a song with a jam section. This is my absolute favorite Stones Song. Charlie Watts playing those featherlight touch rolls along with those occasional staccato accented beats take this song to the next level.
The jam was never intended to be recorded. The vocals were just supposed to fade out and that would be the end of the song. Taylor and Keys wanted to jam afterward so the band jammed with them. The audio engineer left the tape recording by accident. When they finished, the band was so impressed with the jam, they lamented that they hadn't recorded it. And then the engineer said "wait a minute...we forgot to turn off the tape. We got it, guys!" The rest is history.
Hey guys. I think it's definitely time to start reacting to some Santana! Black Magic Woman/ Gypsy Queen is a great first song to start off, then venture out from there. Great blues/ Latin/ funk/ afro Cuban/ rock gumbo of a mixture of music that these guys managed to invent back in the late 60s. This song was originally done by Fleetwood Mac, but Santana made it their own and became one of their staple tracks. Banger for sure!
One of my favs right here, great track. But came here quick fast to say, I love how much you’re loving Fleetwood Mac and I listened to rumors last night for the millionth time but this time through your ears and what you look for etc. I think you’re both gonna be blown away by “Gold Dust Woman” and “Oh Daddy”. So many layers, impeccable production. Can’t wait for you to do them.
Was time for some more STONES!! Had to

But I always loved “Only Rock n Roll” and “Brown Sugar” a lot-live versions cuz recordings seem slower
Midnight Rambler, Bitch, All Down The Line
Sympathy for the Devil.
I back up Peter on Sympathy for the Devil.
Tumbling Dice for sure.
Now imagine when you were in high school and 90% of the music was this good!

They were never as good or creative after he left

Midnight Rambler - Recording is live. Top notch. Pls see note below regarding live vs. studio version.

Mick Taylor was my favorite Stones guitarist. He was also good earlier with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Taylor says that the jam at the end was just an accident. The tape was still rolling, so they kept playing.
Suggestions: 'Gimme shelter' is a classic!
'Monkey man' is a banger.(my favorite)
They've done "Gimme Shelter". Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/7zqGQbDJLvY/v-deo.html

cosmicVox13 Depended what radio station one listened to.
@cosmicVox13 Glad to hear all of the civilized world listened to 2 LA radio stations in 1971.
The two FM rock stations in Dallas sure as hell didn't play radio edits back then...
By this point in their career, the Rolling Stones had been everywhere and seen everything. The music on Sticky fingers reflected that.

My first year of high school this album dropped. Watching younger people experience my world is amazing. From 1977 to 2005 I saw The Stones 5 times.
"Let's Spend the Night Together", "Time is on My Side", "Under My Thumb", and "Paint it Black" are early Stones hits that have the lo-fi feel like "Satisfaction".
The middle section is what elevates this to a true banger. A shout out for your Patreon it's a must for any subscriber, well worth the cost, if you don't sign up you are only getting half the A&A experience. My Stones pick would be Midnight Rambler
Two Stones tunes you simply MUST do......"Brown Sugar" (real banger) and an oldie but WAY goodie, "Honkie Tonk Woman". The latter is actually my all time favorite of theirs; nothing else sounds like it.....and it's unforgettable.
Brown Sugar live at The Fonda.
try "Country Honk"
My classic karaoke go to’s.
Gentlemen, there is a song out there (that I've never seen reacted to) that I believe is right up your alley. (In case you've never heard it) It's a banger, has a great guitar riff and a hook to die for. Please check out I Got A Line On You by Spirit. I highly recommend it. Loved your Whipping Post reaction. Keep up the fine work, RNB
"Sticky Fingers" is the best Rolling Stones LP.
I know a lot of people tout "Exile" as their greatest album, but I'm in full agreement with you.
They have many great albums, this is one of my favorites.
Exile On Main Street...Say Hi.
Some Girls says Hold m beer.
Heartbreaker ...Fool to Cry...Angie...Paint it Black. I’ve never heard a “bad” Stone’s song.
Agree. I support "Heartbreaker"... Doo Doo Doo Doo. I do think Sympathy For The Devil should be next tho, imho (my choice. haha). :))
Angie is a rare Stones ballad. A beautiful song.
@@5891jonathan So true.
Between A Rock And A Hard Place is probably the worst Stones song in their catalogue lol.
@Donkey Smell but Hand of Fate is on Black & Blue... otherwise, yeah.
Suggestions for your in-betweener: Heartbreaker or maybe Tumblin' Dice.
Tumblin' Dice! Great call!
Heartbreaker is great too. Some of the lyrics are so ahead of their time.
Good choices
i agree ,these two so would be my choice,awesome .
Yeah that or Brown Sugar
"New" Stones. That makes me smile. Sticky Fingers 1971. NOT mocking you, it's new to you.
Came out the year that I graduated..
Joan In Florida agreed.
HemlockRidge I saw the Rolling Stones in Seattle in 1972. Afterwards guys asked me if they played any of their “old stuff.” 😂😂😂
@@5891jonathan Ha, cool
@Joan In Florida Lol! I'm that way with Joe Walsh and the Eagles.
Bobby Keys added such an amazing element to Stones songs, RIP
Having grown up during the golden era of the Stones, this is my favorite song. Simple, powerful guitar licks never go out of style.
For sure Sympathy for the Devil. Let's see if anyone wants to hear "Brown Sugar" ... ✌️
Maggie Audiss hurry and do Brown Sugar before it gets “Cancelled” !!
Peak Stones, IMHO - this was their best era.
Favorite Stone's song!
From the same album, give "Bitch" a reaction. Also, "Too Rolling Stoned" from Robin Trower. More great albums came out weekly than come out in a calendar year now (my two cents).
trower.....bridge of sighs....also
The jam wasn't supposed to be in the song originally, the song was supposed to fade out after the lyrics, but the tape recorder was still running while the band were just jamming, it was so good so added it to the song.
They improvised that part. Didn’t know they were still recording and just played that.
Boys, The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock and roll band of all time. Dive into their catalogue and fall in love. Play over stereo speakers and not earbuds. Music needs space to breathe and fill space.
Totally Correct
When this song was played, it was played on Classic Rock FM stations which would play the whole entire song. I don't believe I've ever heard that tune on AM radio. I'm showing my age with this rebuttal but I did grow up in the 70's to which let experience all this great music!!
Back in the day it was common to have the "Short Version" that was usually played on AM radio, and sold on 45 rpm single records. The FM stations were new on the scene at the time and they'd usually play the album cut, which was usually the long version. One local station would set aside Monday night as a time when they'd play an entire newly released album. I gotta say radio in the 70s was an awesome experience.
We had it good.
I remember listening to WLS radio out of Chicago. They played THE best! Newest music . Long album versions. And their range was fantastic.
@@organic3280 There's WRNO in New Orleans. I grew up hearing the DJ ask every time someone called in: "What does WRNO stand for?" It's always "We're the Rock of New Orleans!" And it makes me sad that today what used to be the rock of New Orleans is now a talk radio station. If you ever wonder the point in time that the world started spiraling down the drain, I believe it was when The Rock became talk radio.
@@LeannWebb61 Agreed. The world changed when WLS changed hands too. Radio was never the same. It kinda turned to crap.
The first part with the vocals was supposed to end but they just kept jammimh alomg with each other. That whole instrumental part was just a long jam that they recorded. Bobby Keys on Sax and Mick Taylor doing the lead
No radio would dare play a shorter version. Doesn't exist. It's Hard to tell it's hard to tell...which is my favorite Stones song.
Not S-Tier? Dude, it's one of the greatest Rock and Roll songs of all time. Boomer Out.
It is probably in 30% of old hippie's top 10 and in 100% of old hippie's top 30
“Sympathy For The Devil”
Absolutely, but I would steer them toward the live version from Get Yer Ya Yas out.
The Stones are driving music for sure. Just pop in "Some Girls" and the hours melt away.
Best. Stones. Song. Ever. Mick Taylor's guitar and Charlie Watts riding that cymbal is fucking magical. RIP Charlie.
The second half of this song was an unplanned jam. They just happened to record it as the original plan was to end the song in the first half but they decided to keep going on the fly..... The entire song (both halves) is a singular masterpiece......
Next one should be "Time Waits For No One" from the 1974 album "It's Only Rock And Roll".
It has one of the finest guitar solo's by the best musician the Stones ever had. Guitarist, Mick Taylor.
Amazing lyrics also guys!
For RS songs neither of you have heard, perhaps “Angie”, “Miss You”, “Under My Thumb” or “”Brown Sugar”.
this is by FAR my favorite Stones song; I love Mick Taylor's tasty solos - adding a good jazz influence; this is a precursor to Exile on Main St. This song is what got me into the Stones. Love the original stuff and the later stuff - but the Mick Taylor era is my favorite iteration of the band. Need to check out Ventilator Blues on Exile - serious deep blues
One thing that contributes to making you feel so good at the end of this song is how that jam that you're calling the "middle part" (which I think of as the "coda") wails away insistently in a minor key for three or four minutes, but then transitions from the minor to the major key for the last 8 bars, delivering a delicious resolution.
We used to get stoned in 1971 and listen to this song. About 7:15 Keith Richards starts playing the guitar like nobodies business. A totally awesome song! 👍👍😃👍👍
Hard to go wrong with the Stones, I mean they have a catalog of music going back nearly 60yrs now, but a good in between song that I bet you haven’t heard is STRAY CAT BLUES a great raw rocking song by them , I remember them doing this song a lot on their early 70s tours.
Love that song. That guitar tone is literally the sound of cats howling in an alley.
Stones: 'Tumbling Dice', 'Sway', 'Torn and Frayed', 'Heartbreaker', 'Monkey Man', 'Street Fighting Man', 'Emotional Rescue.'
Dudes! Get into Exile on Main Street! Best Rock n Roll album ever! Forget Some Girls!
Rip This Joint; Tumbling Dice; All Down the Line; Torn n Frayed; Shine a Light!
Hell anything from that album!
Not a huge Stones fan but agreed that Exile was their best album Miss Mick Taylor, he is by far their best guitar player.
If I was stuck on an island and could have only one album to listen to it would be Exile!
@@davidfinnell1660 I would probably take Who's Next by the Who or Born in the USA by Springsteen
"Turn it Loose"!
Perry Malcolm Let It Loose, Casino Boogie, Soul Survivor, Loving Cup, and what about Rocks Off!!! Exile is the greatest rock album period.
Legendary sax player was Bobby Keys, a hillbilly Texan from Lubbock used to watch Buddy rehearse. He's literally played on hundreds of hit records, including some of the biggest records ever made, like Dion's "The Wanderer". He was with the Stones for years, but was on tons of other artists records as well. Some of the most famous tunes ever. You get to where you can recognize his playing. He didn't read music. Played by ear. There's a great documentary about him. Google him. Sort of infamous for being best friends with, and getting into lots of trouble with Keith Richards, including accidentally setting the Playboy Mansion on fire. He wrote a very entertaining book. He passed away a couple of years ago.
Great song by all, always one of my favorites. Mick Taylor was a great guitarist, but it was Keith Richard's grungy riff in his famous open tuning that got my ear. Most musicians are lucky to write one great song, Keef wrote dozens. The middle section with percussion and sax solo was excellent, and Taylor's solo is outstanding as well.
This is one of those songs that always gets mentioned when discussing best riffs of all time.
Mother's Little Helper, Sympathy For the Devil, Miss You, Paint it Black all great Stones songs. They have many tho
Al Rivers mothers little helper...yep yep...those were the days. 🤓🤓🤓
Al Rivers miss you for sure
This song truly is all about the instrumental turn it takes at the 4:54 mark of this vid
I'm 64 and grew up in a small, but booming mill town. We were drinking and shooting pool in crappy little bars when we were 17. And the Rolling Stones were on the jukebox all the time. Everybody grinning and carrying on. Fast forward almost 50 years. I live in a college town. Semi-retired. Before COVID my buddies and wife and I would close the bars shooting pool with the kids. This song is the first you play when your turn is up. 50 Years later the kids are loving this song when they hear it. # 1 Rat bar song in the world.
Sure, I'll throw a song out there...
Midnight Rambler.
My all-time favorite Stones song.
It's so bad ass it's almost criminal.
Rock 🤘
More specifically, the live version from "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out"...
@@gchampi2 Yes the live version is sooo good
"Tumblin' Dice" is great.
"Sympathy for the Devil."
Lead guitarist was Mick Taylor... on many Stones' albums.... quit around '75-ish...
Then they hired the "new guy" Ronnie Wood. He's been the "new guy" for 42 yrs. ;-)
The Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, this is your birthright young pilgrims! Rock 'N' Roll, inhale deeply, travel back to the Platinum Age of music and film its all waiting for you to explore. Enjoy!
I’m not a Roling Stones fan but this definately S-tier for me guys. I think only 4 songs of the Stones are s-tier for me, “Give me Shelter”, “Painted Black”, “Angie” and this one. Amazing....dont forget....S U P E R T R A M P😁😁🔥🔥
Ginny What You’re maybe right Ginny, but I know a lot of Stones songs. Yet, I’m also here to learn, as I did with Rush😁👍🏼 knew them by name but didn’t listen to them but thanks to Andy and Alex I now love’em.
"Paint It Black"
You're not a Stones fan, but you think FOUR of their songs are S TIER???
Dude... sounds like a Stones fan to me : )
I believe you are over estimating the quality of Supertramp by a factor or about 10
What is s tier ?
Let’s hear THE banger from their best album-“TUMBLING DICE”-from Exile On Main St!!!
Or All Down the Line or Rocks Off or Rip this Joint.....
Tumblin Dice is so fire. I listen to that anytime I'm feeling down.
Greatest rock n roll song ever
Rocks Off is the BIGGEST banger from that album. Also, Exile On Main Street is great but I like Let It Bleed more.
Or Linda Ronstadt's version.
You guys still gots to do Midnight Rambler and You Can't Always Get What You Want
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" just gets better every time I hear it. How the jam section transitions from one theme to another is masterful and brilliant.
The intro to “honky Tonk Women” is one of the great guitar intro riffs. Supposedly it was borrowed from the great Ry Cooder.
Keith wrote the intro. It wasn't borrowed. He learned about open G tunings from Cooder.
@@scottythetrex5197 the late great Chet Atkins said “good writers borrow, great writers steal.” No musician can get anywhere without learning (borrowing) from others, same with writers.
I have that album's original release in my vinyl collection... The zipper on the cover is real lol.
Could be wrong about this, I think they had to change the zipper because it was digging into the vinyl.
Cool fact
I remember, at the record store, it was hard to find a copy where the cellophane wasn’t ripped over the zipper because people couldn’t resist trying to pull the zipper down.
@@jerrybarnett7234 they had to ship them unzipped because when they were zipped up they damaged the sleeves
Still got mine too.
Every song on Sticky Fingers is good IMO. And you know I'd love to hear Siberian Khatru by Yes.
Close to the Edge first : )
CTTE is a must for sure.
One of my favorites I would suggest as the between song to react to would be “Bitch”
Don't care what anyone says Keith Richards is the master of catchy riffs. You know every song as soon as that riff hits.
Back in the day, this incredible song was played in its entirety on the radio - no short version!
My cousin has a rock band when this album was released. We stayed up all night to figure out the words to "Bitch" so that they could pay it at their gigs.
How about Midnight Rambler.
Gary LaRue Maybe live version from Get Your Ya Ya’s Out
@@zex7689 yes
Alex and Andy,react to the Stones contribution to country..."the girl with far away eyes" killer tune!
❤️❤️ The Stones so musically talented in sooo many ways!! Was going to see them in concert but due to Covid last year cancelled. I saw them in late 80’s, great concert!!
I recently heard this was inspired by Santana. The Stones were digging what Santana was doing at the time and wanted to do a song with a jam section. This is my absolute favorite Stones Song. Charlie Watts playing those featherlight touch rolls along with those occasional staccato accented beats take this song to the next level.
The jam was never intended to be recorded. The vocals were just supposed to fade out and that would be the end of the song. Taylor and Keys wanted to jam afterward so the band jammed with them. The audio engineer left the tape recording by accident. When they finished, the band was so impressed with the jam, they lamented that they hadn't recorded it. And then the engineer said "wait a minute...we forgot to turn off the tape. We got it, guys!" The rest is history.
One of my favorite Stones songs gotta listen to Wild Horses my wife's favorite
mrchrisk36 one of the best love songs EVER!
Elton John - Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (played as one song)
Yes PLEASE!!!!
oh yeah.
Absolutely.
Definitely. A great choice. Dying for some Elton.
Definitely Elton's best work
Nope, this is the only version and it’s played on the radio as is. Thankfully
Yep!
That final extended guitar solo.....played by, arguably, the finest guitarist the Stones ever had in their lineup: Mick Taylor.
The Stones from 1966 to 1978 will keep you in business until the next Ice Age.
Hey guys. I think it's definitely time to start reacting to some Santana! Black Magic Woman/ Gypsy Queen is a great first song to start off, then venture out from there. Great blues/ Latin/ funk/ afro Cuban/ rock gumbo of a mixture of music that these guys managed to invent back in the late 60s. This song was originally done by Fleetwood Mac, but Santana made it their own and became one of their staple tracks. Banger for sure!
Midnight Rambler live, from the album Get yer yaya's out. Perfect one to do next.
One of my favs right here, great track. But came here quick fast to say, I love how much you’re loving Fleetwood Mac and I listened to rumors last night for the millionth time but this time through your ears and what you look for etc. I think you’re both gonna be blown away by “Gold Dust Woman” and “Oh Daddy”. So many layers, impeccable production. Can’t wait for you to do them.
Adam Cohen agree completely
The book, Making Rumours by Ken Caillat is a must read.
Rest In Peace Charlie. No one can lay down a rock shuffle like you. Jazzman at ❤️ You’re immortal now.
I've never paid much attention to the Stones but they won me over with this song which is fantastic! I loved it! Great reaction.
