This is an excellent video. I picked up my guitar and remembered it was in C# with his classic 1/2-step arpeggio baseline approach to the rhythm. There are numerous Stones songs that are overlooked. My personal favorite obscure one is Time Waits For No One. Mick Taylor's best solo.
It is good despite the pitfalls of the narrator. At one point he states that Richards guitar work on the song is "an electrifying mix of rhythm and lead guitar styles". Fine, but he pronounces 'lead' like the metal or the Led in Led Zeppelin.
That song is a masterpiece, pure blues rock and, by the way, pretty hard. Charlie, Bill, Jagger and Richards nailed it. I love the whole album, Let it Bleed, complelely different than the previous one, Beggars Banquet, another gem.
@@camronbay1 yes, ofc., but Midnight' is classy bluesy riff, but 'hear me knocking & Monkey' they are the top of originality and creativity of Richards and Stones, if you ask me..!?
I keep reading post on how bill didn't probably play bass on this or that let's not forget Mr Bill Wyman had a huge part in the sound under cover, start me up , shes so cold ,Hang Fire, pretty beat up, paint it black, Heart of stone , setting on a fence, Hot stuff and Miss you, let spend the night together just too name a few.
It's unbelievable all of them years ago. Our older generation was a pain in our ass. I got knocked out a couple of times because I like long hair. It didn't hurt I was always stoned.
stones went glam after the exile of Main Street album…. Which is why MT left…. Much of their music of the late 70’s and 80’s is way on the softer side…. And they even tried to soften their earlier songs when in concert.
Keith is a great guitarrist! There are many tracks in which he played all the guitars, such as this one and Happy, and people think it was Mick Taylor playing slide but it wasn't.
@@tedhunt6048 I get ya but maybe it had two connotations. Too close when Keef was banging up smack in his arse cheeks. Old school smackheads used lemon juice. I knew em. Citric acid became the go to in the 80s..
@@gaoxiaen1I’m just going on personal experience. Lemon juice was used to break down heroin in the 50s & 60s. Then again, citric acid was available i take it?
The bass line is nothing to sneeze at either. Keith was on fire for Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Goats Head Soup. He did amazing work for a person addicted to four different substances.
“Monkey Man“ hat mir schon immer gefallen....aber einen interessanten Einblick in den Aufbau zu erhalten, finde ich super...auch einige Kniffs und Tricks von Keith Richards Gitarrenriffs sind sehr interessant...Danke...🎼🎶🎵🎸 ...🔝👏...
Let’s summarize. Stones are legendary. Keith Richards is legendary. Monkey Man is legendary. Richard’s plays legendary lead guitar which rhymes with led which is how the legendary band Led Zeppelin got its name. And yes, AI bot voices are the most legendary of all.
So many all time great songs from the Stones epic run of their fabulous four albums - Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street.
“…masterfully constructed by Ry Cooder” you mean. RC taught Keith open tuning, slide guitar, and a lot of the riffs he would go on to use but, really, let’s give credit where credit is due.
@@dodgedandle8311 Sorry. You are wrong. Keith was not even the best guitarist in the Stones. Page is much much better. Bonham could do more with his left foot than Watts could do with two arms and two legs.
@@edwardcoit9748 No I’m Not Wrong 🤣😂🤦♂️ We know that Einstein that Page and Bohnam were exceptional musicians, But it’s not just about that is it, it’s about the Music and Led Zep (As Much as I Love Them Exactly The Same as The Stones didn’t write Gimme Shelter , Jumping Jack Flash or Monkey Man .. and The Stones didn’t write, The Rain Song , Sick Again and Going to California or what ever great songs that were written by either or the other, it’s not a football game , it’s music otherwise there would be no point would there , It says more that they done what they done with Less ,if you get it , 🤦♂️🤨🙄 KNOW THAT I MEAN, or maybe not 🤦♂️🙄🤦♂️
I always thought Monkey man was about heroin addiction which has often been described as having a monkey on your back, and there is the reference, to a lemon squeezer, well lemon is used when preparing an injectable dose of heroin in a spoon as users do.
Yeah if a great sum of people had any intelligence whatsoever they would listen to this whole album carefully and realize Keith Richards knows how to play the 🤬 guitar 🎸 mate !!!! …😓… But sadly they’re going to go on living in stupidity…..
One of Keith's most intriguing riffs was the monster that introduces 'Dancing with Mr D' from 'Goat's Head Soap' but it just doesn't go anywhere and the song falls flat with no appreciable development IMO. Bet they wish they had rewritten it now...
Think about it. One day there will be AI generated videos talking about AI generated music. And we will all just sit back and watch them go at it. That is, if we even still care anymore.
Really! Led guitar? Not leed guitar. Frickin AI will be the death of us all when it either misinterprets a solar flare for a nuclear launch or just decides humans have got to go.
Hyperbole. Blah blah...blah. Nothing to see here move along. Nothing learned here about how the song came about. I always thought it was a Richards song including the lyrics. Autobiographical in nature. "All my friends are junkies..." 69 was about the time Richards started using heroin.
This video sucks. The AI narrator makes a bunch of reading mistakes, and some is non-factual, for example, that's Bill Wyman playing the vibes at the very beginning, it's not a piano.
Well, that’s what happens when you use chatGPT to write your script and an AI voice to narrate it (did you catch at 0:44, the subtitles read “lead guitar” but the voice over says “led” 😆😆😆)

Yes but,Keith like most of the tracks on Let It Bleed, plays both guitar parts
Keith also played lead on later tracks Bitch,Wild Horses It's Only Rock And Roll and Carol ,when Mick T was in the band
Did all of Gimme Shelter ,You Can't Always Get What You Want and intro and main solo on Honky-tonk Women
@@nankerphelge3771 I suspect auto-generated (AI) voice used here.
Let it Bleed is a iconic album. This song is awesome!
That song is a masterpiece, pure blues rock and, by the way, pretty hard. Charlie, Bill, Jagger and Richards nailed it. I love the whole album, Let it Bleed, complelely different than the previous one, Beggars Banquet, another gem.
Never knew Bill played vibes on this great track from a phenomenal album… or that Keith played ALL the guitar parts on it!
It has long since been my favorite Rolling Stones song.
It's my most frequent earworm.
This and Gimme Shelter for me
Let It Bleed
Rolling stones are legends icons kick ass rock n roll.
Can't You Hear Me Knocking & Monkey Man, the best !!
You Fuckin A, brother!
And midnight rambler
@@camronbay1 yes, ofc., but Midnight' is classy bluesy riff, but 'hear me knocking & Monkey' they are the top of originality and creativity of Richards and Stones, if you ask me..!?
@@republikautopijaofficial7134 Oh yes can’t you hear me knocking is so damn good it really shows the creativity of The Rolling Stones.

Mick Taylor was great but Keef IS the sound of The Stones.

Keith is the greatest riff master ever ❤
Keith is a great guitarrist! There are many tracks in which he played all the guitars, such as this one and Happy, and people think it was Mick Taylor playing slide but it wasn't.
My favourite parts are the intro and the fade out with Charlie lobbing hand grenades, and I guess everything in between.
no Mick Taylor on this?Impressive,bravo sir Keef
The lemon squeezer was vital in the 60s for extracting said fruits juice and breaking down tar heroin for injection via hypodermic.
That’s word.
Thanx for the lesson
🙈🙉🙊🍋🎸🎹
I believe its a reference to Howlin Wolf, squeeze my lemon, til the juice runs down my leg
@@tedhunt6048 I get ya but maybe it had two connotations.

Old school smackheads used lemon juice.

Citric acid became the go to in the 80s..
First time I heard that.

What a fantastic channel!!; I subscribed and liked!!
Thanks...Glad you like it!

And Exile on Main Street.
Wonderful song❤
My favorite Stones song ever. I still get the same electricity running through me that I got when I first heard it up to today.
dedicated to Giant Mario Schifano italian painter friend of Stones, 'n an huge monkey man with his heroine..
When the album came out I would just listen to this song over and over because of the intro and how it blends into the main theme of the song.
I have always loved the song Monkey Man from the first time I heard it. Absolutely one of my favorite Rolling Stones tunes.
“Monkey Man“ hat mir schon immer gefallen....aber einen interessanten Einblick in den Aufbau zu erhalten, finde ich super...auch einige Kniffs und Tricks von Keith Richards Gitarrenriffs sind sehr interessant...Danke...🎼🎶🎵🎸 ...🔝👏...
Such an atmospheric song which is really danceable too, one of their best and there are so.many gems to chose from
ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL AND UNDERRATED SONGS BY THE STONES!!!! I´M A MONKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Underrated? In your country. Not in cataluña
Love the song 😘
One of my favorite songs of all time.
One of my favourites. Really underrated.
My favorite Stones tune of all time.
Nicky Hopkins’ piano solo is worth waiting for and my favorite part of the song.
Not just a great riff master, a modern day maestro
FN great BAND! Keef my hero!
Let’s summarize. Stones are legendary. Keith Richards is legendary. Monkey Man is legendary. Richard’s plays legendary lead guitar which rhymes with led which is how the legendary band Led Zeppelin got its name. And yes, AI bot voices are the most legendary of all.
Worlds greatest rock n roll band!!!
this song and sunshine of your love makes goodfellas an unbeatable movie
How is this the story behind the song ? Keith is great yeah, not exactly a secret.
So many all time great songs from the Stones epic run of their fabulous four albums - Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street.
Great song.
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR A RINGTONE.❤🎉
What about Can't you hear me knocking and mick taylors contribution
“…masterfully constructed by Ry Cooder” you mean. RC taught Keith open tuning, slide guitar, and a lot of the riffs he would go on to use but, really, let’s give credit where credit is due.
Right......like the open tuning that Ry Cooder learned from old blues musicians.
Best riff ever
The title of this video lead me to believe that Keith is telling the story, but apparently it is just another click bait!
Best band ever not even close
Perfect riff, interlocks with Charlie perfectly, overplaying gangbang Page and Bonham never got it.
Richards and Watts are no where near Page and Bonham. Not even close.
@@edwardcoit9748 Ohh Yes they We’re, just in a different way and I Love both bands for that reason 😉

watts and richards is the key to the stones all the way to 81s slave and start me up
1:00 Inspired by artist Mario Schifano.
Marianne left Mick for him.
It was more than just instruments and vocals. It was in the air worldwide and many were breathing it.
This is one of my top 3 Stones songs. I LOVE IT! But IMO, the song kick's ass as a result of the work of Charlie Watts and Keith Richards.
The drums......
Chuck makes this song Epic
Chawlie.
Thats it!!!
led guitar?
That's what Jimmy Page plays.
Best song intro
I always thought Monkey man was about heroin addiction which has often been described as having a monkey on your back, and there is the reference, to a lemon squeezer, well lemon is used when preparing an injectable dose of heroin in a spoon as users do.
I'M GLAD I'M A MONKEY WOMAN TOO. SUCH A HIGHLY POWERFUL GREAT SONG... 😜
I don't think the riff is in unappreciated,.... not by me or any other guitarist I know anyway
I too have been known to play led guitar
Yeah if a great sum of people had any intelligence whatsoever they would listen to this whole album carefully and realize Keith Richards knows how to play the 🤬 guitar 🎸 mate !!!! …😓… But sadly they’re going to go on living in stupidity…..
Miss you
Greatest album ever made. Gimme Shelter is best song ever recorded
We thank goodness that Ry tort Keef how to play proply, innit... look at all the dead ones, too 😮

Lead guitars are SOOOOO heavy!!
_Simian Fist o' Funk_ is a good name for a rose. 🤨
0:44 “Lead Guitars” so the artificial intelligence narration isn’t perfect yet? How heavy do you like your metal?
hire a human narrator.
Really! Led guitar? Not leed guitar. Frickin AI will be the death of us all when it either misinterprets a solar flare for a nuclear launch or just decides humans have got to go.
Apparently not a whole lot of meaning behind it
The "riff" is normal.....the drums make this fucking tune
Hyperbole. Blah blah...blah. Nothing to see here move along. Nothing learned here about how the song came about.
I always thought it was a Richards song including the lyrics. Autobiographical in nature. "All my friends are junkies..." 69 was about the time Richards started using heroin.

Use a real person to narrate
