Grace Potter and The Nocturnals - Paint It Black

[Dani1love]

Lol the bitch at the front jumping up and down and waving her hands around gets on my nerves...

[bent139]

I can feel the hallucinogens! My girlfriend tipped me of to this band and we will definitely see them live as soon as they come our way.

But why the subjective discussion of whose version is "better"? The Stones version is a classic and shouldn't be denigrated and this is a great live version. Just appreciate that both are good.

[LiquidGold93]

Totally agree with thoose who mean that this version is much better! And to all you bloody Stones fans, you have to remember that this is LIVE! The way she makes this sound more powerful and personal, gives me goosebumps. I've been a Stones fan for many years, but I'm not that blind to see that this is better.

[LadyoftheRedDeath]

I find that the original by the Stones sounds way too superficial and too sarcastic. Like the lead singer was just having a bad day because his girlfriend broke up with him or something. Grace makes it sound more like she's battling with some inner depression. In my opinion. It's more personal. The original just doesn't feel like enough.

[jblip1]

I like Grace, but she is not Janis. Nor is this cover as good as the Stones' original. Another forty years and we will see....

[WiteLightnin74]

She is awesome! She rocks this in a bar? Good bar!

[davecorey8756]

pure fine & awesome

[vmcshannon]

NOT even close to Janis! Am looking thru their videos to see what it's all about. Not impressed!

[boyer8203]

@vmcshannon

Your on drugs!!!

She rocks!

[browny646]

Just discovered this band tonight and this has to be the best cover of this song i have heard fucking awsome!!!! I AM A FAN!!

[borncrazy2ride]

so fucking amazing !! fuck yeah grace potter and the nocturnals !!

[temujin667]

thanx for ruining a good song. your band sucks.

[DRK4x4]

Got chills...

[2short2q]

Work hard, get famous, become a cliche, overdose, get sympathy then confess to Ophra/,

[MissRhia]

Mick Jagger wishes he could make this song rock this hard.

[sicksox910]

and lady gaga is the one headlining festivals. hmm...

[davecorey8756]

sure IS FINE

[W3KWAR]

Grace is limitless. The rock gods have blessed her!!!

[Jonannellejul]

Seen em twice now (last time 2 years ago at Clearwater Festival). She is in the same class as Janis, in my opinion!

[fuzzysox29]

Absolutley magical. Blown away. Could watch that 100 times. They are AMAZING!! Its like 1967 all over again, but in a good way!

[xaverian89]

OMFG AMAZINGGGG

[27crooked]

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are far beyond anyone in rock music today. Only about every 10 to 15 years do you see a performer or group with this kind of ability to turn rock music upside down.

[cootaloot]

@27crooked how exactly are they turning rock music upside down? that implies that they're approaching the genre in a significantly different way, but playing rock with a soul attitude has been done since the late 1960s, probably starting when Otis Redding covered the Beatles and Stones. read a book. or at least Google that shit before you start making declarations.

[almostozzy]

SHES LIKE A DRUG TOO ME NOW...and im a addict!!!!!!!

[CherryDoctorPepper]

I just watched this video 3 times in a row...Cant wait to this band, and this AMAZING woman live!

[ptune77]

Ha Rolling Stones would be proud! Like "this Grace" more than the new "polished" in sequins one. Still do luv her voice though.

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

I just hope people know the stones stole the song from someone....the song wasn't a stones song.

[piklhed]

@holyswordsmanoffaith you may want to do some research on that statement

[colleenyates]

they will bring a NEW element to the word commercial......GPN has their own unique force to be reckoned with!!!

[totovillefranche]

that don't match Jagger's weirdness when it first came over the waves in that summer back when - and neither does her version * White rabbit * - which is nothing against the artist

[LiquidGold93]

Oh my fucking god!! Best cover ever made!

[thatkellygirlx]

well now... that was amazing ! <3

[beatlchic]

Can you say 'Amazing Grace'? (in the Key of... Perfect) ?

[reign424]

i love this chick

[refusedearedead]

GP & the Nocturnals rock! Let's hope they don't go too far and get overproduction by someone tryin' to enhance their commercial potential.

[McLarenF1God]

@refusedearedead

It's starting to happen. Sucks for me, because I just discovered this band the other night. Some music video on at like 3am in the morning while high. Been hooked on Grace ever since.

[Hannibu]

There are good and bad cover versions.

This one beats the original by far. GP is a great musician (totally underrated).

I've been listening to this ten times in a row and it is getting better and better... :-)

[mickd01]

@Hannibu You have got to be kidding. I like Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, but this version has lost all the darkness of the original. She has a fantastic voice and all, but no one will ever touch Jagger on this song. There are few covers that sound good as the originals, because we usually hear the original first and that version sticks in our head. One cover I like better than the original is Springsteen's "From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)" performed by Dave Edmunds.

[Hannibu]

@mickd01

It is always a matter of taste.

I could never understand the hype around Mick Jagger. He isn't a good singer, sometimes his singing is even horrible ( e. g. Angie).

[broadway520]

blueberry hill!!! i hope they come back soon!!

[ZorakMU]

Epic!  Thanks for posting

[mgt802]

Thanks for posting this. Grace Potter is more than incredible.

[Hammer757]

God, this is great

[ZillaKilla22]

awesome !!!!!

[smolville]

If you ever do a film about the Iraqi war,

you just have to play this one. I just bought

her CD at the college record-incense store. I don't buy music from Walmart.

[Tipi1]

Thanks Hops! Love it love it love it!

[tmk1314]

Great show, I would love to have live audi from this concert! If anyone can help plaase let me know?

[toddrisk]

[SunStudioSessions]
