Rolling Stones - Heartbreaker (original)

[ironcurtainsteve]

just happened again this month RIP ramarley graham shot and killed for running and trying to flush herb down the toilet

[unixglobalrevolt]

@ironcurtainsteve What bullshit man.

[tampontea4me]

this song really speaks to me.

[jwmellott]

@KDMensch Well, uh, there's the public record. I won't give you the dozens of links available, including reports from the New York media from a few decades ago that profiled a woman taking care of Mick's child with welfare checks.

[drohegda]

does anybody know the guy on the horns names?

[jwmellott]

Yes, such a caring man was Mick.......

except when asked to support his own children.

[Gossip007Bondgirl]

MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK MICK

[MickJaggeranKieth]

totaly underused its got meaning and such a good beat

[1958boomergirl]

Love, love, love that song! Always have even though I was a little kid in the 1960's. I strongly suspect that the lyrics talk about real incidents that happened & were reported in the papers and on the TV & radio newscasts.

[99strange]

i would like to see mick be a natural citizen of the usa,, and give leadership

the same way he spent his life. We need role modles and people with

a LONG track record..this guy wants good, he is going to die talking with all of us.

so why not making an exception and let him be electabile, 99

[ZLarryZB]

Back in the mid 70s, the radio did play this one now and then.

This song rocks.

[johnnyscouser]

I used to have a rather large emptiness in my life....then I discovered the stones

[matejicaleksandar199]

You say Miley Cyrus, I say Mettalica

You say hannah montana, i say AC\DC

You say willow smith, i say Deep Purple

You say jonas brothers, i say The Rolling Stones

You say justin bieber, i say Queen

You say taylor swift, i say The Doors

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop songs over and over. if your one of the 5% left who still listen to real music, thunb this up, then copy and paste it to least 5 video's. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK AND ROLL DIE.

[cerealboxcar]

@matejicaleksandar199 if you are someone who actually cares about the music, you wouldn't have posted this, if you are someone who just wants people to think they are cool because they have individuality, you would post this

[fucla70]

@matejicaleksandar199 dude ur an idiot. there isnt gunna be a musical revolution started on youtube. too many retarded kids listen to crap music. i know cuz theyr my friends. theyr idiots and we completely disagree in music

[Ayame1324]

to those of you who are wondering if the police had a 44 or a 38 the song probably just sounded better saying 44.....dont you think( heart breakers with your 38 I wanna tear your world apart...not so much

[gstringdestroyer12]

hey is there any football fans out there? I know ABC sports (b4 it got gobbled up by ESPN) ran a bunch of Super Bowl XL promos of past Super Bowls w/ this song (and other rolling stone songs) in the background. Does anybody know where I can find them?

[GOFLuvr]

Gimme Shelter is my favorite Stones song, but this one's a very close second!

[ZebraNeighbor65]

STONES R THE PWNRS OF LIFE!! HELL YEAH BITCHES AND HOES!!!!!

[JappDubbel]

you can see that tthis video is filmed from a screen, instead use fraps or something.

[derblae52]

DEAR JDLUND PLEASE DO GOOGLE FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN POLICE THIS IS THE MESSAGE.

[1998disco72]

But the thing is that at the time this song was written no NYPD officer carried a .44 they were issued .38 revolvers. I may be wrong one of the officers my have had a back up with the .44 caliber.

[chrijens]

Heartbreaker with your 44! I wana tear your world apart!

[IndyBearFan88]

This is my favorite stones song that doesn't get a lot of credit or play. The riff is so simple yet so classic...

[aniketpatil123]

great song. But the singer stands as if he has a broken back. great song anyway.

[tmpc45]

I love the way you put this together... One of my Fav stones tunes...

[jdlund]

Is the opening story about a boy being shot by police due to mistaken identity based on any particular incident?

[Rockguitarnow]

@jdlund Probably. 

[frankc32]

@jdlund, uh, gee, duh, are you fucking serious? Listen to the lyrics, that ain't a fucking Walt Disney ride Mick's describing..based upon hundreds of police-brutality incidents, never reported: "shoot-a-black-hispanic-in-the­-back-first-ask-questions-late­r" mentality.

Trust me, my uncle was Puerto-Rican, two tours in the 'Nam, then the NYPD in the 70's....ended up contracting brain cancer working clean-up at Ground Zero on 9/12/01.

No one is singing a tribute song to hin.

Cheers!

FrankC32

[jdlund]

@frankc32, Disney ride? What the fuck are you talking about? Seriously, that was a really weird rant. I asked a simple question: was it a specific incident. Your bizarre rant about Disney rides, police brutality, and your uncle has nothing to do with an answer to my question. Yes police brutality was, and still is in some areas, common place, especially against minorities and in NYC. But my question, which you failed to address, is whether this song is based on a specific true story.

[frankc32]

@jdlund, yes, it was indeed a rant, no argument here.

I'm quite certain that the NYC newspapers documented more than a few of these stories.

Only Mick could tell you what exactly drove the lyrics, whether they were fact, fiction, or that great grey area somewhere in between.

Cheers !

FrankC32

[jdlund]

@dvdhaha, dah, another person who failed to grasp what I was asking. Again for the fifth time now, I get that police violence has been and in some areas still is common place. But that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the opening story is a true story. I'm not asking if they based it on something that happens in general, but if they based it on a particular story of a particular victim of police violence. So telling me it happens all across the US is not an answer to my question.

[ZLarryZB]

@dvdhaha

a bit of an exaggeration.

It was not an "everyday" incident even in the 60s and 70s.

[fisheatsteel]

@jdlund dunno which one but probably not being specific. especially in new york. that kind of shit happens all the time.

[THOMAS59ism]

IF I WAS A SHARK I WOULD HAVE LOST TO SOMEONE THEY THINK IS A HANSOME RETARD

[AcDcAddict1]

this tune is, like goats head soup, very underrated.. jagger blows me away!

[Fuel013]

I think Brett Scallions of Fuel did a better job vocally. but the original version with mick isnt bad either.

[Aliendear]

New York City was down and dirty back then.

[amcanmike]

RAW FOOTAGE NICE

[berylman]

WOW! that was kickass

[MsPetiteShelly2]

LOVE this! Down with partriacrchy and sexual practices which feed the diseased, such as prostitution and other sexual slavery!

[Tyrant6887]

heartbreaker......mmmmm

[fatpizzaman]

I do a cover of this song with one of my bands Laissez-Fayre - fantastic song, and I love the keyboard playing and brass arrangements in it. I reckon this song ought to have been released as a single - it rocks! :D

[saintrambone]

Google search Mobile Audit Club for details of the American Holocuast

[SheedaWood]

husearching for a guy that will make me go wild

[MroffthechainzV2]

Didn't the original have bongo drums?

[BellaItalia4480]

One of my favorite Stones songs...the radio doesn't play this one enough :)

[Rockguitarnow]

@BellaItalia4480 Yeah it is an awesome song. :)

[dannyd1572]

@Rockguitarnow Yeah agreed. And radio stations have the balls to call themselves classic rocks. There are a lot of great Stones songs they dont play..for example "Rocks Off." Doesn't get much more rock and roll than that song.

[pokkitmonzturr]

@BellaItalia4480

implying the radio plays anything good anymore

[BloodOmen7Twilight]

@BellaItalia4480 funny considering i just heard this friday on the radio for the first time and agreed it is now one of my favorites for sure

[MrFlatspace]

Many people think this song is just about Police commiting murder 'with nothing 2 justify it' . The PESTILENCE RAINBOW knows no bounds, and murder 'MO' is limited only by the imagination.

[MrFlatspace]

@MrFlatspace P.S. good Prosecutors & D.A.s see through BULLSHIT.

[raybeez55]

great tune brings back memories of my youth

[Rockguitarnow]

@raybeez55 Yes it is :)

Rock on !

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #15 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[RCbeastly]

Does anyone hear the riff to smells like teen spirit here? Maybe Kurt was influenced - maybe just coincidence.

[latsonalir]

child prostitution is dispicable unless it is the only option left for food clothing and shelter. Giving up 'STARBUCKS / McDONALDS' Nike snealers , new BMW's frees up money to eliminate child prostitution as a ' SURVIVAL SKILL '

[Timntim2021]

Goat's Head Soup came out in1973

[neeneeyo]

awsome song

[jaws1979]

the MOST under rated Stones tune!!! I so them in Boston a few years ago, and these guys STILL have it rock on!!!!!!!!

[astrospliff]

@jaws1979

With such a discography - there's songs for everyone.. I grew up with them, followed my fathers' choice. Listened album after album, often my favorites turned out not to be among their most appreciated. Thank you, stoned Stones, for forming my musical culture popping up to so many different styles throughout the years. ROCK ON !!

[kz75081]

"The development of the Stones stopped after '72?" WTF?

[TheMattyavfc]

For me their greatest album is Sticky Fingers

[10lbsIsland]

@TheMattyavfc Of course. That's the Mick Taylor album. And that's Mick Taylor solo in this recording.

[sichadeb]

agreed

[Sirocco97]

i think goats head soup is a wonderful album ,and certainly underrated .coming of the heals of the four albums before it .its understandable ,but to listen to it on its own ,its a fucking great album

[troy42100]

In a case of mistaken identity they put a bullet through his heart.gives me chills

[mtc1982mtc]

From Brazil...

Nice song, guy!!!!!!

[annaBANNAH143]

pure awesomness

[Jiskefetisvet]

Without judging.. I like the sound of this song, I don;t think the Stones made a video for this one, so why copy concerts under this one ? The moment Mick or Keith falls down... history is made, they are one of the few that survived, along with Dylan, Clapton, and others..

Needless to say, the development of the Stones stopped after '72 .Still great music though, I've seen them live in 98 and they moved me !!

[beckerdc]

It's true that the Stones say it best. If you've ever been mistreated for a long period of time until it finally got out of control, you can vent by listening to this song.

[moezilla68]

I believe(not sure) that this song coincides with the ,44 caliber killer (son of sam)

[keef186]

Nope this was before the Summer of 1977.

[frankc5322]

" Heartbreker with your 44, I "am going tear your world apart". What some men will do with a broken heart1 Kinda scary!!!

[slapjaxx]

hey! samhain6677 u r an example of a abortion

gone wrong. get a life u azzhole

[stones80123]

I'm a huge stones fan and they never place this live.. kicks ASS!!!

[lwzdo05]

one of their last gooduns!

Still sounds good today

[slapjaxx]

the police should wack all the rotten mo-fo,s

[SleazeSlashTrash]

love this song!! :P

[imaStonesGirl]

Love the stones

[kanghong2007]

When i got the news that japanese man was killed in Afghanistan, i remembered this song.

[djanchovy]

I'm not a big Stones fan but this has always been my fave by them.

[mokhotlong]

This was on the flipside of Star Star (also known as Starfucker), a single drawn from, off-course, Goat's Head Soup back in 1973. In that time I actually prefered this one (the flipside) over the A-side. Can you just imagine if the flipsides are allready that good what an arsenal of good songs the Stones have to draw from? Just amazing isn't it?

[jackfrostbob]

heartbreaker, painbringer...dooo dooo doood...doo..far fucking great song...

[groshan]

my fav song of theirs

[whitesoxrule1232]

Stones live 4ever

[Rockguitarnow]

Yup, the Stones earned $1.5 billion dollars since 1990.

They definitely rule :)

Rock on!

[Ramirezgr]

great song

[Muaguana]

A classic.
