The Rolling Stones - 2000 Man (Mono Vinyl Mix)

[skibek20]

ACE ROCKS!

[kirkheron]

Well, people cast this album off as psychedelic bullshit, and I'd be the first to do that because people who talk about doing acid bother me so much. But, the bottom line is that this, with "In Another Land", and the other obvious one are some of the Stones' best songs. This album is kind of dumb in so many ways, but also amazing.

[forfreetoall]

The spaceman really rocks, good job ace

[siwelnayr]

Anyone else notice John Lennon and George Harrison's faces in the album art? Lennon is above the camel and Harrison is under Charlie Watts' armpit...peeking at you.

[dabmab777]

@siwelnayr Yes, long ago when the album first came out and was still 3D. All of the Beatles are on(2 on each side when turned the right way) it and if you look closely at the Sgt. Peppers album cover it says "Welcome the Rolling Stones Good Guys" on the rag doll near the bottom right on the front. They were great friends and by far the two Greatest bands of that era. This album was my favorite by the Stones ever. Without Jones , no Stones. :-) ~~~PEACE & LOVE~~~

[Noodles37UK]

Does anyone else hear think this track was the hole in the wall to Beggar's Banquet? PS just listened to KISSs' version. Don't knock it.

[carlos140895]

Stones version is better, posers

[nonsequentialideas]

I love the really, really, SMART people posting about KISS on the ORIGINAL. You guys really get it!!!

[younandotube666]

Ace version is better

[finefilth]

Ace did it way better.. still an awsome performaance

[poohen223]

I would go so far as to suggest that this LP was a pregenitor of heavy metal...Satan and 'Citadel'...more challenging arrangements. I don't know why it's not more noted.

[nfrantnik]

40 years beyond there time !!!

[beantownbig3]

I still can't see what's wrong with TSMR!! Every big band has had a flop; The Beatles had a flop with the Magical Mystery Tour movie, Led Zeppelin had a flop ( Presence), and Queen's album Hot Space was a flop. I think that The Stones' 1976 album Black and Blue was a bigger flop than TSMR in my opinion. the Stones had 6 straight great albums. Then they come up with Black and Blue which the only good song on that album is Fool to Cry. Nothin wrong with a little experimentation in the 60's i guess

[MarcDAltilia]

hold on to this album (if you still have it on record). the original mono version with the 3d pic is worth $150

[manoftheworld1000]

@MarcDAltilia You bet I will! I got my copy in 1967 for half the price in a British NAAFI shop ... It was my 3rd LP-album ever!

[BooBoo1005x]

A HEAD OF THERE TIME GROWING MEDS AND INTERNET LOVE

[TheChairman48504]

mick invented the internet ! how he know "And my wife still respects me, i really misuse her, i'm having an affair with a random compute, don't you know i'm a 2000 man" Steve Jobs was 10 yrs old.How did he know we could have an affair on a computer back then?

[Kelly14UK]

I like the departure part in this. It's a piece of pure Carnaby Street. Just realised how good this track is.

[supermaster15]

Qué mierda de versión! Aguante KISS y por supuesto Ace Frehley.

[petsis145]

@supermaster15 esta es la version original mi hermano pero sin duda alguna kiss la refina mejor

[supermaster15]

@petsis145 Eso lo se, brother, y gracias al coño de la madre que en Dynasty la sacaron jaja, la refina mil veces mejor KISS!

[bamatommy]

KISS version blows this away.

[SandozSaxonWilliams]

take yr pick- however, in terms of sheer creativity & going "OUT THERE, " Satanic majesties wins over Pepper.

[stercoraniste333]

@SandozSaxonWilliams

I agree.

[torrymarrs]

Right on 'probrojeffro!' I couldn't have said it better. Cheers to that!

[Fajny79]

Acid Drinkers- best version of them all

[Megadeth0611]

Ace Frehley .. .

Simplemente el mejor..

[jaqulinelee]

KNULLA!!!!!!!



[probrojeffro]

Many dismiss the record as sub-Sgt. Pepper posturing; others confess, if only in private, to a fascination with the album's inventive arrangements, which incorporated some African rhythms, Mellotrons, and full orchestration. Never before or since did the Stones take so many chances in the studio. In 1968, the Stones would go back to the basics, and never wander down these paths again, making this all the more of a fascinating anomaly in the group's discography.

[beantownbig3]

@probrojeffro Wikipedia, eh?

[probrojeffro]

@beantownbig3 No, university professor. Same thing?

[KingZlatan9]

@probrojeffro Really this is my second favorite Stones album, pardon me but Exile on Main Street is truly untouchable. My favorite Stones song ever is She's a Rainbow, heard it first on Rolled gold 25 years ago and later explored Their Satanic Majasties Request,which is in my opinion much better than Sgt Peppers!

[probrojeffro]

@KingZlatan9 I am a fan of the Stones, even though my personal tastes go for their newer material, so to speak (Black and Blue, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You), I certainly couldn't leave out It's Only Rock and Roll, Exile on Main St., Beggars Banquet. I'm a Beggars to Tattoo kind a guy. But your really can't go wrong with most of the Stones material, period.

[jroxx11211]

@probrojeffro quoted directly from wikipedia!

[MrBeatlegreg68]

ace rocks...gene and paul are assholes..

[BooBoo1005x]

a head of there time with computers and funny flowers lryics that came to pass

[pab75]

Cool tune, like Kiss version lot better but this is still good

[Rhys10218]

Good song but overall i prefer KISS' version

[MrCraigary123]

Love ace's version

[NightEagleCafe]

I found it on cd on ebay..

[jbstonesfan]

another classic by the Stones unknowm by the masses(and a few Kiss fans).

[Balou2112]

I prefer the Kiss version by Ace Frehley...

[MrArazael]

ACE FREHLEY MAKE BETTER VERSION OF THIS SONG...!!

[lmARocker]

Ананана Peter Criss xD

[Moogaar1]

Kiss did a frickin' disco song...'nuff said.

[ryan06105]

@Moogaar1

So did the Stones. Miss You, Emotional Rescue.

[MisterMonikerOne]

Loved this done by Ace Frehley even though he can't sing any better than a beagle. My dumb ass just found out that it wasn't even a KISS tune. Wow, do I feel like a dumb ass.

[francesthemute04]

kiss blows. 

[QuiteHotBros]

@francesthemute04 THANK YOU! I was reading the top comments like WHAT THE FUCK?!! thank you francesthemute. you just can't beat the stones, you just can't.

[hugatag]

I am having an affair with a random computer! Very good vision from 1967 because in 2000 is when I started my affair with my computer wife. :)

[jayar64]

I also know that this was never pulled. I bought the original version with the 3D cover in a small town (Oshawa) near Toronto a few months after it came out (and I still have it). My best friend worked in the record store back then and he tells me via email that he also never heard of it being pulled. Yes, no big hits came of it, but it was a milestone nonetheless.

[Iaremyown]

This sounds a lot like '39 by queen

[tokaicarl]

@Iaremyown ????

[DougStoneent]

I worked in a record store when this came out and it was never pulled. That's nonsense. A lot of Stone's fans didn't like them moving away from their straight ahead rock/blues influence but there was positive reaction to the album among others. I don't think it was meant as a parody. You're thinking of Frank Zappa! lol They experimented with describing their own inner drug journey. It didn't sell great or create a lot of singles but it was an interesting experiment.

[lrambach]

Ace Frehley rocked the hell out of this as a Kiss cover which was the version I was first introduced to. However, this is such a classic track, I love both. How prophetic are the lyrics? Wow.

[SpaceAceify]

I really, really love this

[999strider]

Who decides what is a top comment? This album was not pulled. I read a positive review when it came out.

[sdog378]

I think once KISS redid this song, they made it sound WAY better!

[karlvorderman]

May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man.

[Malstag21]

The original by The Stones is good, but I have to say that I really prefer the KISS version, they just perform it with so much more force and energy.

[jmarshmellowman]

having listened to the stones and kiss versions i have to say, the stones did it better. 

[jbstonesfan]

@jmarshmellowman I like Kiss, but nothing they do could be better than the Rolling Stones.

[glynnracing79]

@jbstonesfan you are joking right?

[WhoIamisIamwhois]

amazing how they knew computers where gonna have a huge roll in todays life

[Vincek88]

I always liked this one - has a kind of Ray Davies quality.

[BaumerRichie]

I'm fucking innocent!



[Gamefreak2201]

This is a really great Rolling Stones Song

[froggerhater]

haha i found out about this from KISS. i always assumed it was their song then i was like wait.... ive heard something like this before... and i dug this up.

[occlusian]

Oh, and I didn't even know KISS covered this -- haha, let's see how they butchered it ;)

[Kewln00b]

@occlusian actually they didn't butcher it, it's a great cover.

[occlusian]

Honestly, the only really bad thing about this whole album is the cover art :D

[rockyhorror1297]

....Bottle rocket

[22Chemicals]

Luv the compression on the drums! Seems heavier in mono. Some of the guitar licks are more pronounced as well.

[the13er]

Sounds just like Genesis some years later!

[jbstonesfan]

One of their greatest albums which sadly got poor reviews b/c of the Beatles bias....it is much better than Sgt. Pepper or any other Beatles album.

[dlphcoracl]

This album was reviled by critics and Stones fans alike when it was released in late 1967. It came shortly after the Beatles released 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' which was hailed as an instant classic and seemed (at that time) to put the Beatles in another league compared to the Stones.

This album was a mess, a pathetic attempt to duplicate what the Beatles had just done. It flopped miserably and was pulled from record stores after several months.

[rms10277]

@dlphcoracl So What-The stones were tipping their hat to the Beatles rather than copying them-yeah it was lost on the critics and fans but one of the coolest stones albums in my opinion.

[brandonlace]

@dlphcoracl I actually thoroughly enjoy this album. It`s a lot darker than Sgt Pepper, which is a little too "lets pop acid and change the world" for me. I actually like the Beatles "white album" better.

[koziapalmaxd1]

zajebiste oryginalny lepszy od Acid Drinkers

[ledder68]

I LOVE the Rolling Stones. I also love Steve Goodmanm who wrote "The City of New Orleans", which was perfected by Arlo Guthrie. My personal favorite "2000 Man" was done by Kiss on MTV unplugged, which marks the first and possibly the only time the original four members performed together without makeup. One thing I love about YouTube is the opportunity to hear the Stones version of 2000 man, Steve Goodman singing the City of New Orleans, or Bruce Springsteen singing "Blinded by the Light."

[genericgeorge]

The Stones were made to be heard in mono. In your face boys they are. Some of the panning choices they made were weird in this period...

[LlewInLouisville]

I love the Stones, but this is one of those rare times that KISS out-did them. This song is strong, and it works better with the trippiness cut out and the rock emphasized. Still cool to hear this version.

[KISStheSKILLETmanZAC]

KISS is better i think

[hswatnik]

one of the rolling stones best tunes-

[narozzz]

Me, humming along: "der-der-derrmm-der-derr-derrr­rmmm......LEEET'S AAAALL DRIIINK TO THE DEEEEATH OF A CLO-oh, wait...."

[jaggermorrison2010]

i have this and the mono mix of the album sounds so much better too bad it's not available on cd thanks for posting

[TheJacklenut]

@jaggermorrison2010 i love this song, and i don't know anyone who even has heard it!

[jaggermorrison2010]

@TheJacklenut alot of people thinks it's a kiss song because their cover was more popular

[TheJacklenut]

@jaggermorrison2010 i've never listened to much of kiss so i haven't heard their cover

I have the mono satanic in 24 bit 96khz... it sounds marvelous... maybe i'll upload it... if you're interested.. you need something that plays .flac files though

[jaggermorrison2010]

@TheJacklenut thanks for offering but i have it in 24/96 flac as well

[TheJacklenut]

@jaggermorrison2010 ah.. well then that's good..

one thing i've been trying to find is beggars banquet mono in lossless... DO YOU HAVE THAT?? lol

[jaggermorrison2010]

@TheJacklenut sent you some info about the mono beggars

[Stevemiller09191972]

@TheJacklenut Listen to the Kiss unplugged version of this song and you'll see that they really OWN this song. But it is the hallmark of a great songwriter when other artists can take your song and make something different out of it. Ask Bob Dylan, The Beatles or Neil Young.

[ferox965]

@TheJacklenut KISS' version can be found on Dynasty...dirty version (and about the best song on that album) and sung by Ace Frehley

[jaggermorrison2010]

@L0veDealer matter of opinion i'll admit i do like the kiss version as well . ace definitely felt the vibe of the original when he sung it

[joemamamatt]

@TheJacklenut I often find the best songs, in my mind, of classic artists are those which nobody knows. I believe this is the case for me since, I'm not inundated with them. I watch drunken idiots dancing to them at sporting events or see them on car commercials. Think Led Zeppelin in that truck commercial. Anyways, I digress, great song.

[zircle1]

@TheJacklenut Kiss did a cover of it on one of there biggest albums,so we might find alot of rockers know it..peace

[mhunt03]

@jaggermorrison2010

1. I agree, the mono mix is much, much better than the stereo mix. 2. It is available on CD, I've got it. It isn't an official release but the sound quality is excellent, as is the packaging.

[NightEagleCafe]

@jaggermorrison2010 I found it on cd on ebay
