This song was released at a pivot point in 60s culture. The sunshine and summer of love was over, the Vietnam war was raging, there was fighting in the streets. This song and others by the Stones captured the gathering darkness. Absolutely brilliant.
Yeah no doubt. I remember that time well and left a great impression on me. I bought Beggars Banquet when it was first released in the US and this tune maybe more powerful now than it was then. An extraordinary composition in every way!
For years religious enthusiasts thought The Rolling Stones were hell’s ’house band’. Diving deeper into the lyrics is easy to see that the ‘devil’ is a dark vibration that permeates all of humankind’s energy! We all got it. Some choose to show it more than others!
He's almost delivering a 'slap-bass' tone - well, at a low-pop, he IS. His bass's percussiveness is so engaging. I prefer GIMME SHELTER as a song, but his bass here is outstanding.
Yours is by far the most intelligent and insightful analysis of this phenominal Stones song. Most reactors dont have the first idea of what is going on here! Dominika, you ayr right to highlight Kieth Richards blistering guitar solo, it really does set you on edge, plus some brilliant sustained blue notes. Intertingly, on this, Kieth also played the "blistering" bass!! Keep up the good work! Saor Alba!
I took my husband and son to see them in Vancouver in July 2024. (Lucky me - my 4th time!!) They slayed it. Hours later as we were leaving we could hear the 'Woo woo!" 's from a block away and someone would always respond "Woo Woo!!!" I've been a fan since the mid-1970's. If you want to rock out with them, try the studio version of "It's only rock 'n' roll", or the live version of "Midnight Rambler". There are so many more songs to enjoy....
I too saw them in Vancouver, in 1972 on their 'Exile On Main Street' tour. Stevie Wonder was the opening act and Billy Preston played keyboards for the Stones. That concert will also be remembered for the riot that took place outside concert venue.
If this was only your 3rd Rolling Stones reaction - then you have a LOT more great Stone's songs to discover. Master musicians, master song writing and cutting edge production, especially in their early years (60's & 70's). I look forward to watching your reactions as you explore the Stones (almost) endless catalog.
Paint It Black, Gimme Shelter, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Honky Tonk Women, Beast of Burden, Miss You, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia... their catalogue is so deep you've tons and tons yet to discover!
Brian Jones on rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Eddie Kramer producer engineering a marathon of session at Olympic in London. Great film shot during these sessions too.
Yeah that guitar is very menacing, adds so much to the whole piece and then there's the piano and those "woo-woos"!!! I heard this song first when I was 16 years old, nearly 17 in 1969 and have been a fan of the Stones ever since.
For your next Rolling Stones, try some of their softer, poignant songs like, “Ruby Tuesday”, “As Tears Go By”, “I’m Just Waiting On A Friend”, or “She’s Like A Rainbow”. Of course any Stones song is a winner! 😉😁
The song is based on Mikhail Bulgakov's novel "The Master and the Margarita" which is primarily about how religion was used to affect life in the 1930's Soviet Union despite the widespread corruption within the government.. The book makes the very specific point that good and evil do not exist independently from one another, but each, in fact, requires the other.
@@StephenDouthart The Soviet State was the first to introduce the elimination of religion as an idealogical objective, although The Orthodox Russian Church survived in drastically weakened and persecuted form. Russia however, has never been strictly atheist. There are many different interpretations to the novel.
@nubbypk Stalin had a 5 year plan to rid the Soviet Union of the concept of God. You may indeed believe in God but you certainly couldn't admit it for fear of Death. Stalin was ruthless and everyone lived in a climate of paranoia. Party Members especially would never admit to believing in God. The book was banned and was never published fully until long after Stalin had died. (Except in Samizdat form of course)
One of the best songs in rock and roll history by the best band in rock and roll history IMO. The Stones incredible run of albums: Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed (my personal favorite), Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street - and throw in the live album Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out, U.S. arguably the greatest consecutive string of albums ever recorded by any band. The fact that most of that music still sounds relevant today - 50 to 60 years later, is a real testament to its greatness.
Yes Dominika, your comment about the guitars sounding sinister was spot on! I'm sure it was intentional, everything the Stones do in their music always is. Great critique as always!
Since 1969, the Rolling Stones have been called "the greatest rock and roll band in the world ". Because they are. The Rolling Stones were formed in 1962, and soon after, guitarist and bandleader Keith Richards and singer and frontman Mick Jagger formed a songwriting partnership that's created many of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time. The Stones started as an American rhythm and blues cover band, but the songs Richards and Jagger created led to absorbing an incredible range of music styles into the band's identity - pop rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, country rock, soul, reggae, and dance music - while never losing the band's foundation in the blues. No one's ever equaled the Beatles popularity, but the Rolling Stones have been the second biggest band in rock history, as well as the most successful live music act ever, with over 2.6 billion dollars in ticket sales over their decades of record breaking tours. There's so many great Rolling Stones songs that Bruce Springsteen proclaimed that the Stones have a song catalog that no one else comes close to that the Stones can draw from every time they go on tour. If you want to hear more beautiful Stones songs like the demo version of "Wild Horses" you listened to, here's a few: RUBY TUESDAY SHE'S A RAINBOW YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT MOONLIGHT MILE ANGIE Plus WILD HORSES (the original superior version from their 1971 "Sticky Fingers" album.) Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/lJD2OtTaywo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vyp0S-9uFJImGp1u ...and there's many more,. You both are so genuine in the way music moves you. Any rock and roll journey would never be complete without exploring the Rolling Stones. For millions of fans, they're the greatest rock and roll band there's ever been !
There's a great video of them performing this song, with John Lennon and other celebs dancing in the audience next to the stage. I hope you'll find it and watch, on here or on your own. Mick's performance is terrific!
Another upbeat song with dark lyrics is Do Do Do Do Do Heartbreaker. That too will make you feel strange for wanting to dance along when you listen to the lyrics.
Of all the great Stones I've listened to over the many years, this one and Gimme Shelter are my 2 favorites. I'd suggest doing the Gimme Shelter lyric video too. I think Keith wrote most of that one. It also has the legendary vocal performance of Merry Clayton singing along w/ Mick.
The Rolling Stones are way underappreciated for their lyrical content. Until the 80's anyhow! 😮 WILD HORSES,,, ANGIE,,,, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT,,,, BROWN SUGAR,, etc. Sinister guitar!! Never thought about that but Dominika I think you nailed it!! I noticed you have pretty good instincts!! Hence forth you are with a good man! Great Reaction! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
“If you meet me have some courtesy and some taste”. That always meant to me “you did something in your life to bring this darkness to your life…so approach this whole situation very carefully.”
Back then, politicians and religious leaders loved to say rock and roll music was devils music and the hypocrites never read the lyrics. Love your reactions. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ☃️🎄🎅✝️ Janet from Louisiana. ☮🖤🤘
A bit of a history lesson. I’ve seen some young people in their 20’s react to this classic and they do not have a clue what the lyrics are eluding to. Great Stones song! 😉😁
Love you guys. Your reactions never disappoint. More Stones please. Midnight Rambler Live version or my favorite Stones song, Can't you Hear Me Knocking.
The most clever song ever written and for that reason probably the greatest song in rock and roll IMO. Very fitting that the devil takes the top spot. This song is a masterpiece. "So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste"
A masterpiece from my favorite album of TRS, Beggar's Banquet!!!!. This song (the dark side of humanity, after all), opens the album, but the song that closes it (Salt of the Earth) is exactly the opposite. Dark/Light. Oh, and Nicky Hopkins (the piano man)! ❤❤❤❤
Great reaction guys! Here in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the Stones are so big still. A friend of mine is lead singer of a Stones tribute band called Jumpin' Jack (as in Flash) and this is one of their big ones. Soon as my wife heard this, she said..... A'an! That's our friend, the lead singer!
Thanks for this! My 2 cents: The devil is in all of us and we all have to face him and deal with him. Don't disregard this innate evil. Don't pretend it is not in everyone and that we are all culpable for the decisions humans make in this universe. So relax and recognize the only way to navigate this life is by accepting that you must be sympathetic to the whole of your humanity, which includes sympathy for the devil in us.
I was a little similar in terms of The Stones. I was aware of them growing up and knew many of their songs but only recently have I come to appreciate their catalogue. So many tremendous songs to revisit
Stones did this one at that Altamont concert while the Hells Angels were battling with the crowd. Great video out there of the event (from the Gimme Shelter film).
The unwritten rule is to never interrupt the guitar solo. Its disrespectful to the guitarist and the music. You can stop before or after but not during. You really enjoyed this one it was plain to see. JUMPIN' JACK FLASH, HONKY TONK WOMEN, and CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKIN' are waiting for your reaction. Keep going and enjoy the music.
You mentioned that you didn't think you liked the Rolling Stones that much before, but then said maybe it's the 1970s Rolling Stones that you like (if I remember right). Many people would say that the Rolling Stones' peak musical output was from 1968 to 1973. Albums: Beggars Banquet (1968) Let it Bleed (1969) Sticky Fingers (1971) Exile on Main St. (1972) Goats Head Soup (1973)
"I tell you one time, youre to blame" - last line is the most important one and the most overlooked.
Just going to say that. Thank you.
This song was released at a pivot point in 60s culture. The sunshine and summer of love was over, the Vietnam war was raging, there was fighting in the streets. This song and others by the Stones captured the gathering darkness. Absolutely brilliant.
Perfect segue to Altamont and everything getting heavy.
Spot on
I believe this was the song they were doing when that guy got stabbed at Altamont, actually. But, still, a great song.
@@edprzydatek8398 Yes I remember that
Yeah no doubt. I remember that time well and left a great impression on me. I bought Beggars Banquet when it was first released in the US and this tune maybe more powerful now than it was then. An extraordinary composition in every way!
The song is actually about humanity and how we always blame the devil about the bad things that happen instead of blaming ourselves. Great reaction
You have a firm grasp of the obvious.
@@larindanomikosIt's not obvious to everyone, especially these days when so many do everything they can to deny reality and avoid responsibility.
@@thomashiggins9320 I'm sure it's not obvious to evangelicals, biblical literalists or to those living under the grip of theocracies.
Men. Not women!
Spot on
For years religious enthusiasts thought The Rolling Stones were hell’s ’house band’. Diving deeper into the lyrics is easy to see that the ‘devil’ is a dark vibration that permeates all of humankind’s energy! We all got it. Some choose to show it more than others!
"for after all, it was you and me". Woo, woo, woo!
the best Stones song ever written.. The Lyrics are genius... and the tempo and beat are unmatched.
"There ain't no Devi. There's just God when he's drunk.".- Tom Waits
This is my favorite Rolling Stones song. Those lyrics, the guitar work and Mick's voice is perfection. One of the top songs ever.
Yes also for me
I'll second that !
One of the best songs ever. That bass groove is killer. Their Gimme Shelter & Street Fighting Man are up there too.
This is the correct take.
He's almost delivering a 'slap-bass' tone - well, at a low-pop, he IS. His bass's percussiveness is so engaging. I prefer GIMME SHELTER as a song, but his bass here is outstanding.
An absolute masterpiece.
Yours is by far the most intelligent and insightful analysis of this phenominal Stones song.
Most reactors dont have the first idea of what is going on here!
Dominika, you ayr right to highlight Kieth Richards blistering guitar solo, it really does set you on edge, plus some brilliant sustained blue notes.
Intertingly, on this, Kieth also played the "blistering" bass!!
Keep up the good work!
Saor Alba!
You guys make me believe there is HOPE for humanity!!!!
I took my husband and son to see them in Vancouver in July 2024. (Lucky me - my 4th time!!) They slayed it. Hours later as we were leaving we could hear the 'Woo woo!"

For decades - the Rolling Stones ARE Rock and Roll.

One of the most genius written song lyrics you will ever find or hear.
The late, GREAT Nicky Hopkins on piano.
Brian Jones on rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Eddie Kramer producer engineering a marathon of session at Olympic in London. Great film shot during these sessions too.

Yes, the start of that solo is like a knife cut.
Some of Keith Richards' best guitar work. He also played bass on this track, taking Bill Wyman's usual place.
Amazing bass line, so funky.
Thank Nicky Hopkins for that piano in there. He was the best.
Absolutely brilliant song, its a work of art. Enjoyed your reaction as usual ❤
For your next Rolling Stones, try some of their softer, poignant songs like, “Ruby Tuesday”, “As Tears Go By”, “I’m Just Waiting On A Friend”, or “She’s Like A Rainbow”. Of course any Stones song is a winner! 😉😁

Soviet Russia was strictly atheist. Woland delighted in this. I was more an allegory on Stalin's reign and Soviet Russia

Good to see you going back to the Goats of rock n roll.
Rolling Stones MUSTS!:
CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING

Because of the evil and drama in the song, we took it as a breath of fresh air
. Finally, someone was telling it as it really was. 😮❤

“If you meet me have some courtesy and some taste”. That always meant to me “you did something in your life to bring this darkness to your life…so approach this whole situation very carefully.”
The menacing guitar tone fits so perfectly. Even the woo, woo is threatening sounding.
My favorite Stones song since it came out in 1968. I didn't count them, but there are 124 Woo Woo's in that song.
Love the smiles 😃

@ yeah I was a bit surprised to find out it was him. Great musician and songwriter…. Another 30 or 40 years he may not be with us anymore 😉

My fave track of theirs.
That hypnotic beat just draws you in & holds, then the guiter kicks in.
Great recommendation, this is one of my favorite Stones songs
The band expresses the theme and subject of the song so well.
Yeah so called god's are for idiot's!
Live 'Gimme Shelter' I think you would also enjoy
The Best Rock band in the history of Rock.
IAM NOT a Stones fan, but this song and Paint It Black are masterpieces.
I totally agree!!!
I was a little similar in terms of The Stones. I was aware of them growing up and knew many of their songs but only recently have I come to appreciate their catalogue. So many tremendous songs to revisit
I've always thought the first lick of Keith's guitar solo was an evil snarl, but sinister fits too. It gets you in the feels. 👹
I love you guys reaction. from New zealand . Keep them coming guys!.
Keith Richards played the bass on this one, he can always give an edge to any instrument he touches.
The Dark Angel comes & goes as he pleases, yet he's always around.
You never pay attention to the fact that 3/4 of the song is played without the electric guitar…just drums/bongo’s and a bass
Love me some Rolling Stones!!! Love this song!!!
Love your glasses! 💙
Sinister guitar riffs, that’s a brilliant observation
React to "Waiting on A Friend" by The Stones. You'll love it.
Ther Stones have been around so long, you would find many songs to like.
Stones did this one at that Altamont concert while the Hells Angels were battling with the crowd. Great video out there of the event (from the Gimme Shelter film).
The unwritten rule is to never interrupt the guitar solo. Its disrespectful to the guitarist and the music.

The Devil isn't responsible for all the bad things that happen, we are. We need the devil to have someone to blame.
