Wild Horses, Sympathy for the Devil, Angie, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Satisfaction, Brown Sugar, Paint It Black, Jumpin Jack Flash, Ruby Tuesday, Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Street Fighting Man, Honky Tonk Woman, Start Me Up……. My love affair with The Rolling Stones has continued unabated for almost 60 years now. So glad you’ve started listening to them. There’s so much to experience with them. They are touring again in 2023. I’ve seen them many times and most recently, I lived close to where Keith Richards lives in Connecticut. (I moved to California in 2021.) Rock on, Verdy. 🌻
Great music! The Rolling Stones had a double greatest hits album, "Hot Rocks" by 1971, and covered 1964-1971. I love this older sound best, but they have a huge catalog of music that I love. Enjoyed this.
One of the cool aspects of the Stones was that the rhythm section of Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts (RIP) on drums had real chemistry and you can hear them tighten up the rhythm as this song is in its later stages. Wyman was once later quoted as saying he usually was early to the beat and Watts was slightly late, giving the band's harder rock songs a slightly rough edge. Really interested to hear the upcoming album reaction!
Brings back memories of my childhood! When we were about 16, a bunch of us decided to set up a group. I auditioned for the lead singer, but was not chosen 😪. They performed in a local church hall and did "Get off of my Cloud" by the Stones. That was in 1971. They did not become famous, but one earlier pupil at our school did. His name was Jeff Beck!
Your first Stones song EVER? Girl, you got a LOT of cool discoveries waitin' for ya! "Can't you hear me knockin," "Street Fighting man," "Sympathy for the devil," "Ruby Tuesday," "Angie," "It's only rock and roll," ""Honky tonk women," "Gimmie shelter," "Brown Sugar," "Miss you," I mean it's a REALLY long list of irresistibly great listening experiences, lol! Hope you choose to check out at least a few of them! Great reaction as always!
First off, Hi beautiful 🌹, Over 20 year Stones fan, under my thumb is one of my favorites, Stones late 60's- early.70's the pest period in my estImation.. e.g, heart of stone, time's on my side, under my thumb, paint it black, so many good tunes..
I spent a long time uderrating the stones, and I regret it. These cats really play tight, they know blues, rock, jazz and the old r&r. I get so happy seeing you happy sister Verdy. Nothing but love.
Personal opinion, this is an ok song. Streetheart added so much to it like the instrumental portion. The bass line was superb. The Stones performed it, Streetheart attacked it. I do like the Streetheart cover a lot more.
Verdy the Rolling Stones are a band that you could literally spend the next two years reacting to their 30 studio albums and 12 live albums. But as an introduction to the band especially to their early work like Under My Thumb you should just for your own entertainment take a listen to Hot Rocks it's a compilation of their best work from 1964-71. I will be looking forward to see what album is on your list Sticky Fingers, Some Girls
Looking at some of the comments, I see a couple of Rolling Stones song lists. All of them are greats songs, but they missed one of my all time favorites... "It's Only Rock'n Roll" "If I could stick my hand in my heart, spill it all over the stage. Would it satisfy ya? Would it slide on by ya? Would ya think the boy is strange?" (Thank goodness no one can actually hear me singing 🥴)
This song is timeless and shows that British music is by far the best. Sadly the Brits don't produce music as they use to, but then again, neither does any other nation on this earth.
@dpf Different. Don't get me wrong, Zeppelin are awesome and can get into a groove, but the Stones have that rare ability to actually swing, much like a jazz band.
@demonsbutterfly Exactly. And the very early Stones, with the rhythm section of Charlie, Bill and Brian on rhythm guitar, swing more than any other incarnation of the band.
This is from Aftermath. The first album with their own songs. In an interview I heard Mick Jagger say that this is the album he is the most proud of. I like your reactions
I suggest the golden era of the Stones, which, for me, includes the Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street and their live album Get Yer Ya Yas Out..
The 2nd time I saw the Rolling Stones, they started the concert with this song. It's not a xylophone, it's a marimba, a wood block with thin metal keys played with one's thumbs Mick Jagger - vocals Keith Richards - acoustic guitar, lead guitar, fuzz bass Brian Jones - marimba Bill Wyman - bass Charlie Watts - drums.....................Kind regards Scott Rowland
You’re thinking of a Kalimba which is an African thumb piano. A marimba is like a xylophone only much larger and has wooden plates instead of metal like the xylophone. But you’re right about it being a marimba.
1) That is a marimba and not a xylophone in that song. The way to remember the difference is a xylophone has a metallic sound when struck and the marimba has a wooded tone. 2) An actual band member played the marimba, not some hired studio musician. His name is Brian Jones. Keep on doing yo thang..... Gandalf
It's unusual for me but I think I'd recommend a Greatest Hits album to review. Big Hits (Hide Tide and Green Grass). It's from the same time-period as Under My Thumb and will be a great introduction to the Stones!
A Canadian band called Streetheart did a fantastic cover of this song which was a hit here. I love the Stones but Streetheart hit it out of the park with their version, better than the Stones.
Poco - Anyway Bye Bye, Kind Woman, and Marshall Tucker - Searchin' for a Rainbow. Poco has a couple of others, well lots more really. But like Bad Weather, You Better Think Twice.
Okay; I'm age seventy, and grew up with a lot of music that you want to explore, although by the time you do I'll be dead (haha). Anyway, if you like Yes, be sure to listen to Awaken, or Gates of Delirium, or Close to the Edge, or And You and I. All are masterpieces of the prog-rock genre.
We used to do this song. I really like the version by Hounds, best. th-cam.com/video/uWjWnyEzxio/w-d-xo.html Yeah, that's the bass or a guitar running through a fuzztone or distortion pedal. Yes, it's from 1966.
If Exile on Main Street is The Rolling Stones album you’re going to react to, you should follow it up with Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair. She wrote it as a song by song response to the Stones album. It’s phenomenal and one of the most important albums of the 90s, imo.
You have said that you love the guitar, I'm telling you! Please do a reaction to Tina S. In my humble opinion she is the best female guitar player on the planet! I promise you wont be disappointed!
Well, I have to say I don’t care for the lyrics generally, but they mentioned Siamese cats (I LOVE Siamese cats!) & I forgive them all, lol. Great tune & vocals tho, so 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. 😜
Hi Verdy, I don't know 🤔, I always liked this Stones song, but after hearing the Streetheart cover (which I hadn't heard), now I like the cover more than the original version. I apologize for the sacrilege🥺
@@jjmalaprop9968 streetheart oh what could have been there could've been big band out of Canada if it wernt for circumstance and management vs management battles original line up ended up in a lot of other Canadian bands its complicated but they still did okay I guess after all the shenanigans around them vacated
Yeah, I’ve always hated this song. The annoyingly chipper melody, the ridiculously chauvinistic lyrics. I hate that this song has cemented itself in the zeitgeist so much because I think it just sucks, especially since you have a song like Mother’s Little Helper on the same album. Very backwards in thinking imo.
57 years later, and it still sounds good!
These old Stones songs with lyric videos are Fantastic.
Wild Horses, Sympathy for the Devil, Angie, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Satisfaction, Brown Sugar, Paint It Black, Jumpin Jack Flash, Ruby Tuesday, Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Street Fighting Man, Honky Tonk Woman, Start Me Up…….

That's their "Hot Rocks" album lol. I wish sometime a reactor would just go thru the whole thing.
GRRBITW
The original is always the best in my opinion. The fuzz bass is cool. Brian Jones on marimba. RIP Brian, & Charlie.
Great music! The Rolling Stones had a double greatest hits album, "Hot Rocks" by 1971, and covered 1964-1971. I love this older sound best, but they have a huge catalog of music that I love. Enjoyed this.
great to see you listening to an early Stones, they have always been great, like forever... master craftsmen...such good pirates....

a favorite period in their music history .. memories
The Rolling Stones "She's A Rainbow"..TRUST ME!!
Greatest Rock n Roll Band ever 🤘🤘
At the time, as a teenager, I didn't know how lucky I was to witness the revolution in popular music that was the mid 60's.
Good reaction Verdy !!!!Brought up in this era !!! 73 years old. Kudos to you !!!!
Best Rolling Stones song.

Oh Ms Verdy, you make a long day, short! 😁..wishing you the Best on your internship, but always keep Rocking!!.
Surprised the WOKES haven't cancelled this one as well lol They have over 300 tunes so have fun 😊
Rolling Stones - 2000 Light Years From Home
This was from the Aftermath album, which was the first written completely by them.
Greetings from Oregon. Phido my 24 year old cat and I just love ya. Wishing all the best to you and your family

Led Zeppelin 😂

@@davescurry69 that’s an argument, I agree
Charlie swings…

This songs drops into an A chord, and you nail it every time.
Love early Stones like this, but I love all Stones
Great reaction and song. Thanks Verdy

Goin Home

Couldn't agree more. You have excellent taste
Me encanta tu canal, es sincero y honesto, saludos desde Chile
Stones 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨 Let's Go !!!! Hahaha
Exile! 🤘🍺✌️
You want to react to “Get Yer Ya Yas Out.”
There's the Stones and then there's everyone else who tried to open for them.
The 2nd time I saw the Rolling Stones, they started the concert with this song. It's not a xylophone, it's a marimba, a wood block with thin metal keys played with one's thumbs Mick Jagger - vocals

A good old one!
Classy choice, keep exploring the band
Textural quality.

A Canadian band called Streetheart did a fantastic cover of this song which was a hit here. I love the Stones but Streetheart hit it out of the park with their version, better than the Stones.
Great song! I wonder if any artist today would dare to write lyrics like these? Just sayin'.
I remember how pissed off my mom used to get at this song, but as a kid I didn't understand. Now I can definitely see it!
Feminists get mad about this song saying it’s misogynistic, but it’s not, it’s about the changing power dynamic in a relationship.
Feminists get mad about everything. Best to point and laugh at them.
Feminists get mad about everything. Most unhappy people on earth. Best to avoid them
I think the only hit song that ever included the xylophone
Verdy…I don’t know if you’re aware of this…You are really beautiful…Truly…
Poco - Anyway Bye Bye, Kind Woman, and Marshall Tucker - Searchin' for a Rainbow. Poco has a couple of others, well lots more really. But like Bad Weather, You Better Think Twice.
This came out in 1966.
Marimba! Marimba, marimba, marimb.
The early Stones with Brian Jones. Nothing beat them. A lot less edge to their music after Brian was gone.
Verdy great job with your reaction to Under My Thumb from The Rolling Stones .l think the next one from them should be Paint it Black.
Paint it Black
My high school years…
i hope you react to beggers banquet.
Okay; I'm age seventy, and grew up with a lot of music that you want to explore, although by the time you do I'll be dead (haha). Anyway, if you like Yes, be sure to listen to Awaken, or Gates of Delirium, or Close to the Edge, or And You and I. All are masterpieces of the prog-rock genre.
Met them in 96 they did a concert in my town San Luis Obispo California. Did Chris Squires hair. RIP
Finally back to Classic Rock song ! Check your views , it will go up ! Keep playing oldies !
We used to do this song.
I really like the version by Hounds, best. th-cam.com/video/uWjWnyEzxio/w-d-xo.html

Guyville is definitely better for me. An awesome rebuke of the chauvinism of the Stones.
"Exile On Main Street" is wholly overrated. But "The Beatles" made a double LP so "The Rolling Stones" had to.
All hardwire ,rich...
I was a kid, saw on Ed Sullivan,fuzz bass, still don't comprede ?
👍👍👍👍👍

Siamese CAT of a girl….
VERDY, HOPE YOU'RE DOING GOOD, TRY TO LISTNEN TO GUNS N' ROSES 'NOVEMBER RAIN'.
I still like the Streetheart version better!
wow, i just looked the first time at the text. Nice for the 60ties. A no go today.
This is a very dark song.
This is the song that got me to learn to play bass. The lyrics aren't very politically correct, but a lot of Stones songs aren't.
Sorry I can’t afford to support you financially, just an old guy living on SS but I would love to see you react to Tina Setkic!
No clue
Leyendas💯. Si quieres puedo recomendarte algunas bandas de Argentina.
Virus y Rata Blanca, le harían bien al canal 😎
@@jaimepapa662 ''Sin disfraz'' de virus 👌 para empezar😀
Love both versions but Streetheart in my book is way better.
Hi Verdy,
I don't know 🤔, I always liked this Stones song, but after hearing the Streetheart cover (which I hadn't heard), now I like the cover more than the original version.
I apologize for the sacrilege🥺
Blaspheme!
😂😂 Just listened to the Streetheart version for the first time. I get it. No apologies.
@@jjmalaprop9968 streetheart oh what could have been there could've been big band out of Canada if it wernt for circumstance and management vs management battles original line up ended up in a lot of other Canadian bands its complicated but they still did okay I guess after all the shenanigans around them vacated
can you react to ronaldo nazario?
Streethearts version beats this one like a rented mule...never cared for this Stones song. loved Streethearts version .
it's so cool that you dig it, but i thought maybe you'd react to the lyrics. Mick has lived quite the life
I admit that I'd like it if you would wear makeup or accentuate your natural beauty as a woman. Otherwise thanks for your sharing!
Wow, what a weirdo! Maybe refrain from commenting?
What?
Streetheart better. Hands down.
For sure not the greatest Stones song (I would have recommended "Gimme Shelter" or even the entire "Sticky Fingers" album).
Streetheart version is better.
Yeah, I’ve always hated this song. The annoyingly chipper melody, the ridiculously chauvinistic lyrics.
