Let me please introduce myself

[UTAHSEX]

All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing - Edmond Burke.

[UTAHSEX]

Song is about Lucifer, Prince of Evil whose ability to transform into one's soul is to create havoc that will change the course of history.

[TheCadaver333]

No it's not it's about man and how man truly is the evil Hail lucifer

[ZKoftherebellion]

Lucifer is Cthulhu's bitch.

[TheCadaver333]

@ZKoftherebellion Vice versa

[sandraagonia]

fuckin great!!! the rolling stones i love this is song

rock n roll fuckin circus amazingg!!!

[DoubleVisionandco]

One of the greatest songs of all time but likely one of the most misunderstood. It`s not realized, Satan was never seen at the atrocities he speaks about in the song, but somebody else was. Man. Man is the devil. This song was said to be "cut from the same cloth as Robert Johnsons 'me and the devil blues" and it is. It`s a masterpiece all on it`s own. With the crap music of today, there will never be another band that comes close to this on any level.

[ImaBeatlesboy]

Man made something to push the blame somewhere so Satan was blamed for all the worlds problems.....when really man knew it was their fault but would not admit it.

[Ibusers1]

Man, I hope that the music of this new century turns out to be a lot better than the music of last century and more like what music was back in the 60's, 70's, 80's!

[RAMWESS]

[paybacktime62]

[deuterrion]

One of my favorite Stone's souènd, with "Satisfaction" and "She's rainbow"... a genius classic

[lizziewig]

This really is an evil song but I have to say it is my favorite song and Shelter is the second favorite. I think the approach of the subject matter is what is so enticing for me....

[planterzs]

Wow this fucking mexican bastard fucked this up with this shitty dupping. What the fuck?

[FuerADERitmO]

I'm PERUviaN!!!! WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I WANT TO DO THIS. FUCK OFF, IF YOU DON'T WANNA SEE THIS, GO AWAY.

[2sugersplz]

[FuerADERitmO]

[ladycat11]

I don't care, it has a great sound, don't look at the video.

[Almostpwned]

everyone on youtube breaks copyright laws. you could have left the original audio.

[FuerADERitmO]

No creas. A mi me lo eliminaron el primero.

AHora nose ps ia cambiaron las leyes...

[LedRoseShredder]

[geanbq]

[ladycat11]

[n1rv4g1rl]

...John Lennon dancing... LOL...

[Gl0veCompartment]

Mick Jagger is buggin in this video and Brian Jones looks like some kind of drone or robot...

[bodhitaichi]

Dude, you fucking didn't sync this up well at all. You should have left the original live version. Wtf?

[man4ester]

i prefer guns but stones are great too \m/

[Rochettara92]

Mitici i Rolling *____________*

[FuerADERitmO]

[w1lf1ewoo]

Why the fuck have you dubbed the original over the live audio??????????

[Almostpwned]

nobody is straighter than mick jagger

[bunchalinks]

is the singer gay?

[webuilt]

no.

[bunchalinks]

oh. he looks a little gay on this video

[PickleEvolution]

mezmerizing. gnr suck

[Almostpwned]

the video is really out of sync with the audio.

[ladycat11]

This is the only old video I've found that shows the whole song...not just 3 minutes of it.

[iajua]

John Lennon pacto con el diablo ja ja ja

[Lagunaman0208]

Die guten alten stones. habe 2 konzerte in oberhausen und köln erlebt.als dann endlich zum schluß dieser song kam, da war im wahrsten sinne der teufel los. es gibt bessere live-bands, aber die stones- besonders mick- sind unerreicht und sind eine lebende Legende. falls die stones nochmal in meine nähere umgebung kommen ( ich wohne in Oberhausen) bin ich wieder dabei. es ist einfach ein höllenspektakel.

[ladycat11]

I LOVE THIS

[Azul40]

Aqui aparece John Lennon

[satisacro]

¿donde?

[Azul40]

El aparece bailando, el de cabellp largo con lentes, se juntaron para un filme llamado Circus

[iajua]

En el final minuto 06:21 ahi aparece John Lennon Aplaudiendo

[AzrAeL308]

This song is badass!! an yes GNR fuckin butchered this song, i love em, but dont do covers, make your own shit

[satisacro]

The Stones compound the song, is awesome.

[raghraghragh1]

If by butchered you you mean 'made so much better' then yes, I agree.

[Greyolddog]

Great song sung superbly!

[scarredcobra]

rubber lips

[Lawlz824]

this is off rock n roll circus dvd right?

[fateagleaz]

it says VH1 classics on the bottom right, so I guess not.

[spanisheyes16]

john lennon looked like he enjoyed the preformance.

[ickledulais]

legends... love it

[zz36012]

its good but i think the singin is better for the attidue in guns n roses's version

[twhite696969]

this is the song that killed GNR...as far as comparing the two..you cant. the stones version is so raw and real. i like GNR but their covers all suck except Live and Let Die.

[aiwala]

amazing young jagger

[hawannabe]

anyway I'm still thinking that Mick Jagger is a crapet soleil but I'M a real fan of their "evil" rock and roll

[GuilleArte]

john lennon at 4 : 42?¿

[joksta73]

yes john lennon along with a few other well known faces of the day

[Loueon]

Byfar, one of the best stons songs.

[JGUY1713]

this is an awesome....video...Sympathy

for the devil? sympathy for the terrorists?

Mick and the stones were pointing out the negative.... I held a Generals rank? truth was a private in the lines...I love you mick... I did not kill the Kennedys...Loved Bobby...oppose Ted...you are a great prophet of the future..mick..thank you and bob and john....hey life goes on

[synchc]

lol. youre either on strong drugs or just dim.

[VBackseatRomeoV]

this was a response to a tough conservative crowd saying that rolling stones music was "satanic" because it had a rock feel to it. so they were saying have sympathy on the devil (themselves)

[hawannabe]

actually they were really satanic in the 60'S just read some bio about it like the fact that Jagger was a member of the church of Satan then and he almost played in the movie Lucifer's rising(film director Kenneth Anger)but the role have been give to Bobby Beausoleil and the fact that Jagger and Richard were dating witches then(M.Faithfull and A.Pallenberg) but whatever this was (and still is) fucking awesome good rock and roll

[VBackseatRomeoV]

well regardless of that, this song was a response to the people calling him a devil. and its kind of ironic, because in the song he explains what a devil really does do, as opposed to him as a normal human being

[hawannabe]

yeah you probably right on this but what I've said about it it's true to but don'T matter with this song this is a classical one

[KellyGreen5555]

No, the Stones did not worship Satan, Jagger was never a member of the devil church & Marianne Faithfull & Anita Pallenberg were not witches. However, it is entertaining that after all these decades, people still believe the old rumors & gossip.

[hawannabe]

you are tottaly wrong obviously re read the good biographys about the band and you'll see that i'm right period

[KellyGreen5555]

Riiight, I'm "tottaly" wrong. I wonder what books you've been reading. Loads of rubbish have been written on this band through the decades.

[MeaCulpaXthree]

I always thought he said "I drove a tank in a generals rank (Hitler) and then he goes on to sing something right afterwards about while "the bodies stank" (concentration camps) I guess I better go look up the words. Love this song, and this particular video...good job Fuer!

MC3

[MeaCulpaXthree]

I rode a tank

Held a general's rank

When the Blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

[iwannabeyourdog1969]

the guy looked like lennon, but i guess he wasnt him.

[Banluil]

Lennon was from the Beatles....this is Mick Jagger from the....wait for it....Rolling Stones...gee..dosen't the title of the video say it's the Rolling stones, but I guess it would be too difficult to look at the title of the vido you are looking at.

[synchc]

guess it would be too difficult to actually watch the video before shooting your mouth off at people that did. lennon is in the audience. show a little respect when talking to people you dont know because, judging by your snide comments, youre talking to your betters the vast majority of the time ...

[hawannabe]

I just wonder why MIck became a sex symbol?...he is so awful my grandpa is more sexy than him:PP nevermind I Love the Stones!!!

[KellyGreen5555]

I'm young & I find Jagger sexy as hell - then & now.

[hawannabe]

goog goog Kelly and you are probably the same type of girl who is thinking that Marylin Manson is sexy too and what about Keith Richard? hum he is so hot too:PPP

[KellyGreen5555]

No, I do not find that hack Marilyn Manson sexy. At. All. So you are exactly wrong. Jagger is gorgeous, but in this clip his hair is dyed for his role in "Performance" giving him a more sinister look.

[Jaybird040]

respect!

[brammmmmieee]

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SONG!

Respect!

[JGUY1713]

absolutely one of the greatest in a generation.....You cant always get what you want...hey, jude.... somebody to love...great songs....and she loves you

[Jesustheanti]

heh Lennon was just jammin' out

[udolebt]

isn't lennon from the beatles?!

[ziplocbaggies]

yes

[JGUY1713]

lennon was the soul of the Beatles...a fantastic prophet

[Jesustheanti]

yeah but he was there, watch it again rock newbie

[fearthereaper956]

the audio sucks good song bad vid

[Mattzz1964]

Sometimes I wonder what Mick must think about the amazing life he's had (having?). A rock & roll icon - through 5 decades; written some of the best tracks in history; become filthy rich; become incredibly famous; bedded some of the world's most beautiful women; done the best drugs; been to the most outrageous parties; travelled the world; met some of the most interesting people in the world, etc, etc... - and he's survived it all. I hope to God he's a happy and content man. Respect Mick.

[BBdrumrick]

Great song. One of the rolling stone's best

[TAYLOR439]

Best Song Ever !!

[hawannabe]

I just wonder why MIck became a sex symbol?...he is so awful my grandpa is more sexy than him:PP nevermind I Love the Stones!!!

[synchc]

because he shows women the time of their lives. every woman (minus his ex wives) thats dated him says the same.

[GoodmorningAbby271]

uhm no thats Mic Jagger of the Rolling Stones NOT John Lennon of The Beatles sorry.

[derdnik]

Actually at 4:40 in this video that IS John Lennon Dancing. The singer is Mick Jagger the band is the Rolling Stones, but that is John Lennon at 4:40. This was taken from the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus which featured The Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Eric Clapton and many others.

[hawannabe]

absolutely you are right

[230867]

Don't forget The Who, They stole the show from The Stones et All. I think Jagger even admitted this.

[shinlupus]

4:40-4:44 and again at 6:21-6:25 john lennon appears moron, watch befor you open your mouth and make a fool of yourself.

Everbody hates stupid people that don't even watch and leave "know it all" comments. Please delete your account now and spare the community, as a whole, your bullshit.

[submode]

We're in Jungle

It's a Sound of Amazon

[V0llmilchBB]

[dipsetUWS]

[dipsetUWS]

[bataction14]

[dipsetUWS]

yo yo serious question,

[pequoda]

Il ritmo ! Il ritmo avvolgente, trascinante, ipnotico, letale.

I rolling, il ritmo che non si ferma.

Amo la filosofia dei rolling !

Cadmus

[freaknd12345]

english please

[zeds2ded]

Superb song, someone doesn`t like lyrics, probably used to listening to rubbish that has no lyrics, or doesn`t understand deep significance of these. One of the best songs by the Stones and sooo far advanced it still sounds great by todays standards--mmm--what standards these days I guess. Also guess Stephen King used this song as an idea for his book Needfull Things, could be wrong book but nerver mind. Song, lyrics video are truly awesome--thanks for posting it.

[iNUrfaCe00]

sick guitar solo.prolly the best one of the 60s i think.i fucking love this song xD

[Frankiezapp]

Jagger's tatoos sucks. XD But this song is surely the better.

Pleased to meet you...

[nemic773]

95% of the music I listen to is mostly rap and a little r&b but this song is by far in my top 3 favorites of all time. To me this is also the best Rolling Stones song hands down!

[guy4rm36109]

I like the way the band looks here

[DreamweaverCreations]

Awesome bass riff on this rendition of Sympathy for the Devil!!! This is by far one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. I really dig their Rock n Roll Circus performance of it too :)

[centuryfoxxx]

The music is great . but the liryc suck

[gussy1962]

Quite on the contrary!!...the lyrics (and the whole song) comes from the book "The Master and Margarite"..Bukhalov...when the Devil shows up in Moscow at the beginning of the XXth century....they're even better than the music itself...enjoy!

[Domitianvs]

What kind of illiterate infant writes out the title in mixed upper and lower case? It's rather disrespectful to such a good song.

[Reynardineuk]

Was this recorded at Olympic Studios with Steve Marriott ?

[Thorinn]

Best song by The Rolling Stones IMO

[mantzak]

Rocky dijon is the black that starts the video ,he was a session man with the stones for several years back in the late 60's and early 70's

[696xpirit696]

XCLNT MI VIDEO =)

[nilesman71]

yha were is the black who starts the video

[Rollacoastalex]

What do you mean?

[Angusrocks4u]

I love the solo in this song!!!

[Dude421]

yeah its so shitty. love it.

[r124s459]

This is from Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus in December '68. It's the same event where "Yer Blues" was played by The Dirty Mac (Lennon, Richards, Clapton, Mitchell) and Who played A Quick One

[lachukee]

ia this the video directed by jean luc goddard? i'm not sure if this is

[01triggerthehorse]

Always Associate this record with the events at Altamont Speedway when Hells Angels acting as security for The Stones stabbed a coloured guy in the crowd

[01triggerthehorse]

Always associate this record with the events at Altamont Speedway when Hells Angels who were acting as security and had been drinking all day for The Rolling Stones stabbed a man to death.

[MusicIsGoodForSoul]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think keith is FINE looking?

[MsDemeanor]

John Lennon at 4:40 and 6:22! =o

And DAMN Brian Jones looks like a chick.

[freaknd12345]

ditto for jagger as well

[mowgli001]

[sdb66]

Thanks for this video!!! I love the way JAGGER looks here...SEXY!!!! Long live THE STONES!!
