In the third verse "Chelsea drugstore" is a methadone clinic, Mr. Jimmy is Jimmy Miller - a friend of the Stones and producer of this record. Methadone was given in a "cherry red" liquid. That wasn't what he wanted, but was what he needed. Thanks guys.
During their 2015 US tour, the Stones selected a local choir from each town that they played in to accompany them when they performed this song. Very cool!!
A major hit, yes. Absolutely, one of my favorite Stones song of all time. So popular, that in our generation of kids who heard it when it was released, it was common to say, in a given situation, "Well, you can't always get what you want," and then pause, and everybody hanging around with you would say, "But you can try sometimes, and you might find, you get what you need." To this day, a generational touchstone.
When was it a major hit? It wasn't. It was on the B side of Honkey Tonk Women in 1969 (number 1, both sides of the pond), but later released in the US only in 1973, peaking at no. 42. So it wasn't a hit single.
I was practicing law in a courtroom, and we had a motion pending. The judge said, "Was it Rod Stewart who said, 'You can't always get what you want'?" I said, "Judge, it was Mick Jagger."
I taught sixth grade for 42 years and I started every year off with the immortal words of the great 20th Century philosopher, Michael Jagger: "YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU TRY SOMETIMES, YOU JUST MIGHT FIND, YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED!"❤
I was not a big Stones fan growing up, but over the years, and with the advent of TH-cam, I've come to realize just how solid and influential a band they were. You can go from the early Stones in the 60s well into the 70s and even 80s to find dozens of well-written and played songs. They are certainly one of the top ten most influential bands that resided at the foundation of rock 'n' roll. Masters or writing and production.
Just imagine that this came out a long, long time ago. This is the first time we heard anything like this. If you tried to write a song today, it's going to sound like something that has already been done. This is why music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's is the best you will ever hear.
One of my favorites from a great album. Saw them in Paris last July. No choir for this but the crowd sang much of the song. Amazing 70th birthday night. Thanks to my two sons
This was at the apex of their career, "Beggar's Banquet", "Let It Bleed", and "Sticky Fingers". You need to do more of this era, starting with "Sympathy for the Devil".
I think that that run of albums (Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street and Goat's Head Soup} are arguably the greatest run of consecutive albums by any artist ever. Has any other band done 5 albums of that quality consecutively? In 5 years or so? Goat's Head Soup is the weakest, but even that has "Angie" on it!!! Incredible. It's no coincidence that Mick Taylor was heavily involved in this period.
This is one of those timeless songs with an universal message. Even though I love their gritty stuff more, when this plays I always get into it as it builds up!
Arjaylee - from playing organ for Dylan on "Like a Rolling Stone" to Blood Sweat & Tears, to producing Lyrnard Skynard and much more. I saw him play with his basic rock & roll band at a little bar in Atlanta Underground in early 70s. He's still around, though retired now I believe.
Great reaction! I love everything about this song, always have. I still remember the feeling of shock when I heard for the first time that there are people who hate the choral intro/outro. For me, that absolutely makes the song. I can't wrap my head around hating that bit.
Sweet choice for a hump day morning - this a timeless classic for sure, and one of the most memorable intros ever. Great stuff, and always a pleasure to hang with you guys as you listen and appreciate. Much love from Canada! P.S. - loving that retro Expos hat 🙂
Man, this tune and so many of the Rolling Stones tunes from the late 60s and 1970s got me through some interesting times when I was a teenager and early 20s and dealing with some stuff, I would crank this rolling down the road and everything would be all right.
Heartbreaking song for me. I was 21 when my husband was killed. I held myself together the day of his funeral...until someone played This song at our get-toghether after his funeral. When this began playing, I lost it! "And he said one word to me and that was 'Dead' " 😭💔 I am still unable to answer "why"?. Very deep song for me. Love it-hate it.🥀 (edit) In the movie The Big Chill, the movie starts with this song being played at their friend's funeral. Art imitating Life??? Music can reflect events. Our group of friends were very similar to the group in the movie.❤️🩹
Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of the movie "The Big Chill"". At the funeral of a friend Jobeth Williams character gets up and starts playing this song. Great Song, great band, great cast, great movie and simply the best time to grow up in my humble opinion. I was born in Northern California in 1963 and have listened to so many kinds of music at home with my parents and as a young adult and with my kids and my grandson. I can't explain how fortunate I feel to have experienced such a phenomenal period of music to now share with my children. Thanks mom and dad for allowing the music to flow through my life. You gentlemen as usual always have a great take on these songs you react to. Continued success to both of you!!! 🎸🎼🎶
I always felt it was my job to expose my young son to music which I did. He loves certain oldies(like Janis Joplin) and shocked me last week when I asked if he had ever listened to 25 or 6 to four. He turned to me and said of course I know it and the horns are awesome. So apparently he got something out of my musical education.
@@donnazasgoat2274 Here's to spreading the music to the young and old and everybody in between. My boys have been exposed to all the music I listened to and they share their discoveries with me. It does keep us very connected. Your son sounds like he has good taste in music as well🎶🎼🎸
Hands down these guys are my favorite reactors. They know what they're talking about and their sound system is the best on TH-cam..every time that they play one of my favorites I hear sounds that I never noticed before...
I believe 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' was actually the B-side to the hit single 'Honky Tonk Women'....which I would also recommend reacting to!
Keith never has received the credit he is due for his great riffs. His rawness. How many can write, play rhythm, lead, and play so raw? IMHO, the best guitarist of my generation.
@@rockandrollpaddy If you have ever seen any lists of the so-called great guitarists, Keith is very seldom in anyone's top 5. Keith not only plays a great guitar but he also writes and creates great riffs which is a gift that eludes so many other guitarists. Rockandrollpaddy? And I stated: "THE CREDIT HE IS DUE."
@@williamstlouis3368, @rockandrollpaddy I also saw Keith show up on a recent list of the most "overrated guitarists of all time" which certainly implies there are some people who don't give him much credit...
Bought this album at Goodwill for 35 cents when I was 12 years old. I had to grow into it, but it is one of their best cover to cover along with Sticky Fingers!
so I heard you just say I got to sing this to my kids...lol I sang the chorus to this probably a hundred times to my kids as they grew up through the years.
This album was released 3 months after I was born. Unfortunately my parents definitely didn't listen to these guys - or more specifically didn't own any of these albums, so I kind of caught up to them in the late 70s and early 80s. You get a real sense of the times from this music. Maybe more so than any other decade of music - the late 60s - mid 70s feels like it really transports you to that moment. Always love seeing your reactions. A great channel with people who really love music and have some musical knowledge!
My My it is truly a pleasure to listen to both of you. Smart and filled with good insight. You know quality when you hear it. The Stone is one of the great "rabbit hole " groups . You are in for a treat.
You are witnessing greatness! I grew up on this music and I have to tell you, I’m a little bit jealous that you’re hearing this for the very first time.

Best outro of any Pop Song.
Truth. It's gets gospel.
The most quoted rock song by parents to their children. ✌️🎸
Did that to my daughter and she turned out GREAT. She's saying the same to her daughter...
My brother's favorite song. He's been gone 31 years.❤

How interesting!
Its a substitute for H. When you wanna stop with the H. But then u get hooked on the solution to the original problem.....................
I believe Miller is also on drums on this track
Facinating
Let it Bleed is such a fantastic album. Glad you guys are enjoying the Stones.
The TITLE TRACK rocks!!
@@88pjtink Joan Jett also did a great version, but they're not big on female rockers on this channel.
@@jons.105 you may have well just said, "on any channel".
one of their best
My favorite Stones album. Monkey Man is another underappreciated masterpiece.
My father used to sing this to me , and my response was to sing back to him time is on my side. Miss you pops

Such subtlety brilliant guitar work!
I'm so happy that you appreciate them😍 They are known as The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band for many reasons❤✌️
No arguments here ❤
The brilliance of Keith Richards resonates throughout this album.
There's a reason they are one of the best rock groups in history. Their music holds up. .o

Kindergarten, 21 years. Sang this when the spoiled, wining set in. Most of them got it and laughed. It helped me get through the first 2 months 😂
Sang it to my Kindergarteners for 20 years. Stopped the whining in a gentle way

They were considered the greatest rock n roll bad of all time. They been jammin for over half a century
Cool sons!!! Can I borrow them!? 😁❤👍
Delighted for you Tomas, super fan since '76 ( 4 nights on a row Earl's Court London and 30 or so since)💎🕺🎸☘️🇮🇪
You get whatcha need!
No truer words have ever been sung!!!
Huge hit!

Let it Bleed another Stones masterpiece.........One of many
Masterpiece 😁 indeed
Great song that got a deserved second life as the theme for The Big Chill.
Love in Vain concert version....to really understand the Stones. much love fellas
Possibly my favorite Stones song 🤗
It's mine!
Superb song 🎶🎵🎼
The song was a staple every party I went to in the 70s. Thanks bro’s 🔥👍🏼
I gotta sing this to my kids..............Outstanding.
Great,Great,song by a Super Great band
They've survived the ultimate test Time. Rock on!!!
LOL “I gotta sing this to my kids”. When my kids were little this was our family theme song! 😂

My favorite stones song
All time classic!
I hit the like button immediately- I know your reaction will be great! This is one of my favorite Stones songs. Now that’s a way to end a song!
Same!!
bruh, I always hit the like button on these guys videos before hitting play...its become a common thing.
Al Kooper on organ & French horn. It was the "B" side of "Honky Tonk Women".
Al’s fingerprints are all over the popular music from mid sixties thru the seventies
Arjaylee - from playing organ for Dylan on "Like a Rolling Stone" to Blood Sweat & Tears, to producing Lyrnard Skynard and much more.
I saw him play with his basic rock & roll band at a little bar in Atlanta Underground in early 70s.
He's still around, though retired now I believe.
Time for Sympathy For The Devil, Street Fighting Man, Brown Sugar, and Moonlight Mile.
Greatest Rock n Roll band ever 🤘🤘
"I was standing in line with Mr. Jimi"....
Great reaction! I love everything about this song, always have. I still remember the feeling of shock when I heard for the first time that there are people who hate the choral intro/outro. For me, that absolutely makes the song. I can't wrap my head around hating that bit.

Classic!
Yes, this is a masterpiece. The best rock band of all time...at the very peak of their career
Masterpiece.
Ahh...you were both introduced to the French Horn. A very unique Horn indeed. Excellent reaction gentlemen 😊
I believe Al Kooper played the French Horn who was Lynyrd Skynyrd’s producer on their first three albums
Only like 25-30 more Stones tunes to go......love it!!!
Goats head soup, let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile on Mainstreet are 4 of my all time favorite albums, maybe #1 from a band!
Some Girls! I loved Miss You.
Such a good song never gets tired of it! Top Stones album with Beggars Banquet
Huge hit for the Stones, whose music is always a class act par excellence. Thanks for your reaction.
My favorite Stones album.
So refreshing to hear a reaction on the music from those who understand the music. ROCK ON. PEACE.
The French horn and acoustic guitar on the intro are one of the tastiest moments ever. I love that bit so much.
Great album!
Masterpiece indeed!
i was 15 when this album came out. I lived in a small town in Western Nevada. I've never been the same.
One of the greatest rock anthems ever. Thank you guys for a great reaction… as always
