There is an old question as to whether you are a "Beatles" person or a "Rolling Stones" person... No contest. 'Stones! These guys made great music all the way into the '80s. Yeah, the Beatles were great, but the Rolling Stones are freakin' TIMELESS! They may be the best rock band of all time. Anyone gonna outlast them? I doubt it...
does it matter....well the stones have so many millions its easy to disss money and success...when you live in a manor with a river and a gentlemans gentleman to polish your beatle boots/
Don't you know the crime rate's going up, up, up! Look at MEEEE I'm in tatters! I've always dug joint, came out my junior year of high school still rocks today!
This song came on the radio recently when I was stoned and it sounded brilliant. Now that I'm not stoned, it just sounds hilarious. But I love it either way.
not hating the stones by any means, I really like em, but its songs like this that i just dont get. I mean its ok, but at the same time its awkward to listen to.
This song was the Rolling Stones`s offing for the "Punk Rock/New Wave" trend of the late `70s. It was considerably better than most of the crap that constituted that genre; but it shouldn`t be overlooked that it (appearantly) was intended to cater to that market.
I love that they were big when they were. They would never make it today, Mick and Kieth are too ugly to have made it in this day and age. Good thing they were from the days when music was about talent
@JohnGrant2011 You're right! "7th Avenue" & "Big Apple" are definitely NYC references but that "Rats on the west side, bedbugs uptown" sure could be a description of 2 of Chicago's less prestigious neighborhoods.
Heard this song this morning in the car and started dancing in the back seat. My mom freaked out and asked me why I can't listen to the same music modern kids do....
@cbcroq: I aint smiled in what seems like years-yeah, shattered, but your message after so much ******* philosophy cracked me up. Thank you. To the smoker, @BHDread, amen.....
Oh, is that who it was, thx. But all examination is subjective. Context can help objectivity's standards take hold. Music is at least listened to, where movies & TV is passively droolingly glazedly let to pour into U. Read "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" by Jerry Mander. A phenomenal read, & ever relevant, as old as the book is. News remains news, festers until its heard & heeded. Of course, music can b detrimental, but can b healing too. evrthin like a double-edged sword
@reforest4fertility yall all crazy...just listen and smoke....yall too philisophical for your own good...just smoke...everything is influential to an undefined mind...now pass it..
@namesuser1590 Grooving to this in highschool when it came out is what brought me here. I don't watch movies. Life is movie enough, without Hollywood brainwash mindmelt crap inundating my senses senseless. We make far too much of a spectacle out of everything in this so called "society", anti-social as it is, to indulge further without losing our better sense, our grounding in reality. And if you did lose it, how would you know whether u did or u didn't. Hence, a life unexamined not worth living
@reforest4fertility Like the socrates quote. However in my opinion, music can be just as brainwashing/mindmelting as films. Examining your life subjectively is no better than to not examine it at all.
"PANIC on the streets of London"...Hackney, Endfield, Tottenham, Brixton...we are with you all! Take your country back......The culture destroyer bankers dish it out...give it back to em'.....
@mollymaemorrissey You fool...they weren't the ones who were hurt by this senseless violence...ordinary, hard-working people lost their only means of livelihood.
The Stones' ONLY rap song. Think 'bout it. Mick doesn't sing ANY of it! They hit #31 in Billboard, 2-3-79, Anybody catch Steve Dahl's parody, called 'Skylab'? God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!
@777Logos my tatters are shattered to your tatters jagger. staggered and right my brother from another mother. thats right im white, only black at night. texas tea that is.
I remember hearing this song about 2 or 3 days after 911 when people were still crying. I recall a DJ on the radio that day (911) saying they had announced that some songs were to be banned from the radio for obvious reasons, mostly songs about fire...he was pissed off and went on a rant about censoring. (Some of them WERE silly)
The next day on another station they played "Shattered " I was amazed that it got through lyrics like "My brains are battered, splattered all over Manhattan "
@tdoktor...first of all...the nature of an opinion is that it's neither right or wrong-that's what differentiates it from fact & second? it ain't even my opinion. I just defended the right to voice one. Finally to kcole939...you've got almost a quarter of million views. So some people don't like Shattered. Music critics exist! Embrace debate or disable the comments :) I can't stomach Mick Jagger's idea of dancing..or his rendition of Dancing in the Street..is almost as bad as his dance moves.
i was at a carolina hurricanes (hockey)game last night and a dude ran into the glass on the side and it shattered into pieces and they played this song i was like OH YEAH it ruled
