[MadJohnEscapes]

The coolest 30 seconds in rock and roll.

Good on ya Ry

[ILiveOnMyBoat]

There's a big middle eighth in this and It is overiding the message - You cock sucker Claret an Nose - Phil lyons is a sex register signatory... Yow Yow dingleton?

[LennonMarlonDylan]

The whole album is a classic so f**king ahead of it's time that I was first exposed to rap by this gem and I saw the movie when it came out.Jagger loved the soundtrack so much he tried to steal the credit from the genius behind it

[bleelac]

just watched it again-great movie

[MrShadoobee]

Micks very cool on this

[FredSox49]

Ry Cooder on slide guitar.

[strekmann1]

memo from turner

[TheDuffyyy]

This is a great tune, I'm learning it on guitar :)

[irishbear76]

I first heard this song on the Rolling Stones box set "The London years" I think it was called. It was on disc 3.

This version is solo Mick Jagger with Ry Cooder playing slide guitar.

I have heard the Stones version and do not like it as well.

[LionessDeWinter]

I have this on vinyl. God, I'm old. XD

[hamdelsun]

@LionessDeWinter

Vinyl has never really gone away....it's a far less expensive method of distributing music and in the last 30 years or so has been used to release unknown albeit still good music not of the mainstream.....my 14 y/o son LOVES his vinyl and record player

[LionessDeWinter]

@hamdelsun That's good to hear! I loved my records as a kid. :)

[TheKingWrecker]

@hamdelsun less expensive???

[Multi1628]

@hamdelsun HATE CDS MYSELF - POOR "DIGITAL" SOUND QUALITY. More turntables sold worldwide in the 2000s than in the 70s. Just bought a new one for my brother's son, & have several Technics myself. Vinyl rules & I am a 45 enthusiast especially. DAVEDJ

[BeatBay]

goodfellas baby

[jaksad]

@BeatBay Henry almost get's in a crash while out of his head on coke.. oh yeah!!

[schnids1605]

This song is so bad ass

[MrOoppoddoo]

Thank you.

[clawspace]

It took me a while to find this song after hearing it on Little Steven's Underground Garage, a program on Chicago's 93xrt. What a gem, surprised it's not one of the first videos to come up under a Mick Jagger search.

[dukdukguus]

Once again, the great Ry Cooder and his inimitable slide work makes what is merely a passable Stones song a masterpiece. I hope Mick and Keef have a shrine built for Ry and worship him.

[reptilicus]

@dukdukguus LOL! Yup, dukduk.

[Kelly14UK]

Sometimes in YT, all we just need is a good picture and a  top quality audio, and it's a BADGE.

[FransPannekeet]

Lot of people have problems with placing music of the movie Performance (soundtrack) on You tube.

[CHUCKLOVES1969]

@FransPannekeet ...thats because it's owned by the

assholes at Warner Brothers...they block tons of the

stuff they own. if WMG has it..it's most likey not on here.

or it's gonna be blocked as soon as they find out.

[Tubernaut]

@CHUCKLOVES1969 Including Batman.

[DrSimian]

Ry Cooder's slide guitar is quite tasty.

[tutonet74]

mick jagg jeg mule yahud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IdaGno]

exceptional ensemble of musicians - too bad Randy Newman rasping out Gone Dead Train isn't posted here

[JStormWaters]

A stunning commentary on revolution, queer/trans culture, & insanity on the 1 hand-& capitalism, racism, & classism on the other... As relevant a film (& song/poem) today as it was then!

[ludwigvan17]

I love the slide guitar intro but Mick kind of stinks it up.

[rayholtz]

@ludwigvan17 Jagger kicks butt!!! No doubt!!!

[oloscience]

great song ;-)

[nordpil97]

Sorry couldnt find the vid on my lists. Probably taken off like other jagger/cooder version I had. Cuz was from same user in here...

Hope links will help you..

Check that singles collection somewhere....

[nordpil97]

Jagger played a major part. It was re-released in October 2007 on a seventeen-song retrospective compilation album The Very Best of Mick Jagger, making a re-appearance as a Jagger solo effort. After its original release in 1970, it had been included on Rolling Stones compilations, such as Singles Collection: The London Years as a track credited to Jagger/Richards songwriters.

[nordpil97]

It is a Stones song Flyfisher...sorry you´re not right there....

[InLovewithMick]

best lyrics.....ever

[ABCGUITAR]

Where can I find it? Itunes maybe?

[IvoryPhil]

I have an original vinyl of that song and must say, that the bassline there really makes this song FAT. Vinyl for worlds domination!

[germyfromirc]

For those of you who have been confused if this was a Jagger or STones tune.. its actually from the movie Performance.. in which Jagger stars.. GREAT fucking movie. i suggest you all see it....

[biggerturtle]

@germyfromirc Exactly . A motherfucker of a movie with an amazing soundtrack.

Ry Cooder slide soundtrack. Wiilliam Burroughs influenced. 

[TheJmlwb]

@germyfromirc If the song is anything to go by the movie must be a cracker :)

[Tubernaut]

@germyfromirc You are right, sir. However, there is an alternate version by the Rolling Stones.

[AStopMotionChannel]

So... Who would be the credited artist of this song? The Rolling Stones or just Mick Jagger?

[MutilatedLips69]

I do believe it was Ry Cooder and Mick Jagger who wrote this song. 

[Charles195th]

I can see Jimmy Miller through the glass...shaking his head in time...

[Xychk]

Best cut by far

[konner3]

Sunday, May 11, 1980 :)

[ate3333]

new favorite song? ....

check :)

[kyru79]

i like the other one more but this one is good too

[gplito]

Pretty sure Randy Newman wrote this song....Ry Cooder and Kieth play guitars, not sure who else but Nicky Hopkins was around a lot maybe some of the other guys from the band, Ry Cooder puts this song way over the top though.

[MidnightRambler444]

@gplito - idiot

[jeagag12]

Ry Cooder's input into the song puts bring the Stones to another level, imagine that.

[paolomanueldec]

In my humble opinion, this is better than most things the Stones did.

[nudgola74]

@paolomanueldec too rite.Best eva stones song without stones

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

i love this

[VP40naha]

@imaRoLLingStonzFan Yes

[flyfishinchef]

took me 30 something years to figure out this wasn't the rolling stones. Bought every one of their albums trying to find it!!

[sparkomatic]

Just looked it up. So that's Ry Cooder on slide. Figures. Again and again I find the cream rises to the top. You hear something awesomely good, with no idea who it is, and then come to find out it's someone, well, awesome. Like the first time I heard a Lester Young solo. Had no idea who it was or what it was. Looked up the song, found out it was The Prez. It just figures. Great is great for a reason.

[freethequeen]

its a fantastic film, weird and wonderful !

[nlandess]

@sparkomatic Exactly right. See Lovell, Chuck.

[sparkomatic]

Heard the intro to this tune in GoodFellas, when Henry is driving around all paranoid followed by the copter. Always wondered what it was. Kinda thought it was the Stones. I like the intro better than the whole song, I think. But I love the intro.

[canadianroot]

Agreed. Has a very Little Feat-esque kind of intro. And then, just when you're expecting Lowell George, it's Mick.

No knock against Mick, who is in my humble opinion, a greatly under-rated lyricist.

[imaStonesGirl1]

@canadianroot

Mick is a great lyricist

in my opinion too!!

really he`s amazing

[sparkomatic]

@canadianroot he's such a good lyricist, in fact, i've often wondered if he has a ghost rider. everytime i read the lyrics to sympathy for the devil, i find it hard to believe mick wrote them.

[Barbrasive]

read 'the master and margarita'

[dchs11]

ghost writer. dnt be dumb.
