“Your drunk in the alley, with your clothes all torn, and your late night friends have left you for the cold grey dawn - there’s just so many flies around you (hangers on/groupies), and I just can’t brush them off”
Jagger virtually recorded this by himself in LA, with the legendary Organ player Billy Preston. The rest of the band didn’t play on it. Maybe a few overdubs at a later date.
@georgeion58 Yes definitely. Brian was very important. Taylor (in my opinion) was the best guitar player they had (other than Richards obviously). Their best work is in that period between '69 and '78. Most of which was with Mick Taylor on guitar. Ronnie is good but it's just not the same . They should go back to their late "60's and early "70's sound. I prefer that much better to the way they sound now. Even their live stuff could use some of that more raw sound
No one's probably gonna read this, but I’ll say it anyway cuz I feel at least 1 person will. I'm a young designer and graffiti artist, I know there's a million out there but I feel like my art has a unique individual style.
If you just take a min and give me a chance I'll make you a believer. I would love nothing more than to have a loyal following on youtube. If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" others will see it. Just a simple button push will make a huge difference.
@DarkAngelEU Yeah all the bullshit like Justin Beiber and Nicki Monaj just isn't my bag. There is actually some good bands out these days like The Fratellis and The Gaslight Anthem. But still no one can touch The Stones, Young, Zeppelin, Chuck Berry etc. All my buddies come to my house I say "Hey have you downloaded the new Nickelback album?" I simply say "no but I got the new Neil Young on vinyl. Care for a listen?" THey listen and then become absorbed with the new music. Cant beat the classics
my favorite song in the world... might not be perfect, might not be ingenious, might not even be good, but it sure as hell is the only song in the world that makes me wanna dance and cry at the same time!!
If it wasnt for this song then Live Forever would never be recorded "may the good lord shine a light on you" to "maybe, i dont really wanna know" good old noel! Great track anyway :)
@Rockstar25062889 You're not thinking like a person who writes songs though, usually the influence is something abstract and more that it hits something inside of you that makes you create something. Not so much about copying the music exactly.
This song was always high up there in my Stones song list. I love the way it seems to build up its musical energy (tension?). Ever greater urgency and emotion as it comes to "come on up now, come on up now...", then the climax. Just one hell of an orgasmic experience - musically, that is. I never tire of this song. If You Really Want To Be My Friend is another one that appeals to me in a similar way. A great line of song.
I LOVE THIS SONG!..................want to know some juicy gossip from their '77 new zealand tour...go to "the church metropolis johnnyrebble" and read my 3 comments.
Hi Everyone I am Mike I have known Keith since I was 16 I am now 47. I have one of the larfest stones collections as it's the most diverse. I have anything you can think of. From All Gerard Mankowitz Books By Genessis Books Like "Crossfire Hurricane" & "Blinds & Shutters" & I-Contact all with "Brian Jones" I have all 30 stones monthly's in mint & many reare albums and first pressing londonn releases "Some Girls from Holland in Orange Vinyl satanic 3D I am selling things. MickDeC1@aol.com
@sailormuppz Totally agree! Music was so much better back then because it was raw talent without the computerized editing and music nowadays is too focused on how much money a song can make
@sailormuppz The 60's bands didn't make music like the 30's bands either. It's called evolution, sure it may appear to be a shitty devolution but it's change none the less.
i like Queen best but i have to say this different in a good way.I get the sense that it makes me relax,and not just this song but all their songs which i've listened.
was at a discotheque and the dj decided to play this as a closer to dispatch the crowd and cool everything down, witch worked because everyone stopped dancing, except for one bamboo, me !
@steelerfandan He made a documentary about the Rolling Stones called "Shine a Light." It's basically a big concert and it's amazing. You will like it if you like the Stones.
The song is great and all... But there's something about that "Stones-.logo" - the one with the tongue - that I really like. That's what I call a "hot" logo and it get my blood pumping... :)
Sorry to all you that don't know what the .... I'm talking about, it's private joke, OK? :)
The stones are and always will be the greatest band ever. They don't make music like this anymore. It drives me crazy going to high school having to listen to all the music my peers are listening to. I will always remember putting in my parents copy of sticky fingers for the first time about 5 years ago when I was all of 10 years old. May the good lord shine a light on you Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Charlie
@TheSizzors yea but don't forget to mention Mr. Taylor for without him not sticky fingers or exile or any of their greatest albums would exist and Brian Jones for without him the stones wouldn't be there for us!
@hailfire101 you got one up on all the tv programmed masses who laugh at you.... high school is such a short time in ones life... its really not that important... you will see... good music is timeless.. this mass produced computer enhanced music they sell to us these days cant shine a candle on these guys... keep on listening to the greats..... you got it
Nostalgia is a powerful emotion. The Stones were popular with teenage girls in the 1960s and 1970s. It's not as if they were this super cool, obscure, hip band. They were mainstream. Pop music.
It just so happens that pop in the 1970s, sounds pretty damn cool now.............
What I'm saying is, in 20 years time, your kids will probably be listening to bands from 2011, saying how cool they were.
All humans are biologically programmed to think that everything that happened 30 years before they were born is "classic" and everything of their own era sucks ass..........
I did it myself in the 1980s. You know, I thought Prince and Michael Jackson, and The Smiths, and The Clash were terrible. They're classic now.
Truth is, if you're great you're great - it sometimes just takes a while for everyone to catch up with it.
@georgeion58 This track is from Exile not Sticky Fingers. Gram Parsons, who was at Nellcote during the recording of Exile, was an important influence too, particularly with regards this song I suspect. His track 'A Song for You', which also has religious overtones, is particularly marvellous. So is his take on Wild Horses, from Sticky Fingers but released by Gram’s band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, the previous year:
@IvanTheReasonable i know this is one exile but since he mentioned sticky fingers i had to answer back with the same reference anyways, Mick was a lead guitarist and not any crew member in other words he deserves atleast equal respect to the other main members of the stones
You can really feel how Brian Jones might have influenced this song's sound. It another experimental song Especially the piano and organ part, they made a gospel sound and put it to rock. A great tribute to the man.
according to Flea, of RHcp, The new red hot chili peppers record will be heavily influenced by this album. i think they will put there own style into it, too. but this isnt bad. Flea also commented on the new funky grooves. look at songs like "Strip my mind" or even, "i could have lied" thats what i think the album will be like if yyou are a rhcp fan
@Lyriks64 you know, I'm a big fan of the Stones and the RHCP! So your comment is very interesting and I hope what you say is true : Exile on main St in RHCP's way, what a good next album! Hoping Josh will be a good guitar player, even if John's not there anymore...
Needn't have to argue about Beatles or Rolling Stones... they made excellent music side-by-side in those years and their music lived through may decades, whereas they hit not only the charts but our hearts and soul.
Both had ups-and-downs but they will always be the icons of the beginning beat era. I will always love both bands music ... absolutely wel done share :-)
@laggie24 I agree, although technically the Beatles never had a "down". In a way, their early break-up was good in that they broke up before they came up with something crappy. The Stones have been around longer than anybody, but they have one or two album's that I'd rather not revisit, though they more than make up for those minor flukes.
Los mejores 3 discos de los Stones (Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers y Exile on main Street) tuvieron la participacion de Mick Taylor, quien le dio una impronta mas blusera y rocanrolera a la banda, como en sus origenes.
Exile. I used to live that lifestyle (see movie) back then. Looking back now, I can't believe how superior this album is in jazzy fluidity. Definitely the Stones best work. Somebody said something about underrated. Know what? Jagger is underrated as a singer. Nobody does it better than him. The free flow of his voice as it opens this song, from high to low and back. Or in Soul Survivor. Just unreal. Insane.
I'd say that after hearing Exile, the Stones can pretty much play anything that they want to play. They kick some serious ASS at C&W! Honky-Tonk Women, IS country. Did Ringo cover 'Act Naturally' by Buck? Yeah, and he NAILED it!
I'll tell you why, I never see it on any favorites list...Its never on the radio, and is rarely talked about. This song is life changing and amazing....just thank god martin scorscese named his movie after it or it would be even more less known
@KIDAmnesiacBends Just to be a total p*ick i believe robert plant is the best ;) , but i love jaggers voice and the rolling stones, thats why im here!
The Rolling Stones are just a staple in my life, like breathing - I can dance, cry, fuck, sit or whatever I need in a day - there is a Stones song 4 any mood - I've followed since the age of 10 - 1st love was of course - "She's Like a Rainbow" - God bless these lads for all they have brought to the table and more!!!
@tobythatsme well actually, rap and hiphop are completley different genres of music, and can be equally as good, depending on your taste. So please dont bash different genres and say they're not music, when they just aren't your taste. Comparing rock n roll to hip hop is a really stupid comparison. i'm sure the stones would rather you not compare them to anyone, just enjoy the music :)
@deathmetalruler Hey Bud, how about you don't bash Queen, they are one of the best bands ever to come out of the 70s, their music still thrives and survives deep in the roots of music, even today. In a world of pretentious shit music, they are alive. Let's see ANY of todays "musicians" make it for 40 years and still come out with guns ablaze. So if you have nothing nice to say about Queen or any other rock band of the 70s an 80s get the hell off Youtube. Ass.
@deathmetalruler Before you make outlandish statements just check your facts before hand because Queens glory days were the late 70s, all the really had DURING 80s was Radio Gaga, which is shit. But there classics were late 70s.
@deathmetalruler wow, just way to be an asshole to homosexuals, what do you hate puppies and rainbows too? Oh and I said they were from the 80s, you know just because you don't like a band, doesn't mean you have to disrespect them.
@jstone114 You have to hear the four albums: Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. They are the four best stones albums and are all great
@manurok1 Absolutely agree ,in that period between 68-72 the Stones were unbelievable,backed up by Zeppelin,mk 2 Purple,Sabbath Britain truly ruled the world musically.
@GrantStoke Wouldn't give you a cup full of cold piss for the rest of them, not even as a job lot. Right load of second rate rubbish but the stones have a peculiar appeal that goes round the world. Say what you like about the world's stingiest front man or the guitar playing of a heroin addict, handcuffed by his habit, they still lived up to the moniker: the greatest rock n roll band in the world.

We're starting a youtube channel to get real music back. Our plan is to gain subscribers, and have bands sending us demos. We'll feature the best songs on our channel, so people can stay updated on new bands. However, we will be very selective when it comes to what we put up, so the channel won't be full of shit. We believe the reason why rock isn't on the radio is because people aren't updated about new bands. Please subscribe, or send us a demo.
@GetRealMusicBackTV Most people are sheep.They always will be.The only reason "rock" is not on the radio anymore is because of the advancements of technology.If they could of produced a nice gay radio friendly, over produced smash hit in the 70's.......well they would of.Most people don't want to think too much.They just lap up whats in front of them.
And that usually defines the "soundtrack to their youth". Ha....its quite amusing to watch.
@GetRealMusicBackTV people have different tastes dickhead. Just becuase you like this kind of music, which I also love, doesn't make other music crap. It's just not your taste.
@GetRealMusicBackTV I love how you're thinking. Keep up the good work. The soul of rock and roll isn't dead. It never has been and never will be. Great choice for a song. Exile, Let it Bleed and Sticky Fingers can't be touched. Check out some of my favorite rock and roll vids, heavy on the Stones. Also, check some of my uploads for some of my original tracks. Just waiting on the right singer. Thanks for what you're doing. Cheers and may the light shine on you.

Flea also commented on the new funky grooves. look at songs like "Strip my mind" or even, "i could have lied" thats what i think the album will be like if yyou are a rhcp fan

@Lyriks64 you know, I'm a big fan of the Stones and the RHCP! So your comment is very interesting and I hope what you say is true : Exile on main St in RHCP's way, what a good next album! Hoping Josh will be a good guitar player, even if John's not there anymore...

Needn't have to argue about Beatles or Rolling Stones... they made excellent music side-by-side in those years and their music lived through may decades, whereas they hit not only the charts but our hearts and soul.
Both had ups-and-downs but they will always be the icons of the beginning beat era. I will always love both bands music ... absolutely wel done share :-)
laggie24 8 months ago
@laggie24 I agree, although technically the Beatles never had a "down". In a way, their early break-up was good in that they broke up before they came up with something crappy. The Stones have been around longer than anybody, but they have one or two album's that I'd rather not revisit, though they more than make up for those minor flukes.

Los mejores 3 discos de los Stones (Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers y Exile on main Street) tuvieron la participacion de Mick Taylor, quien le dio una impronta mas blusera y rocanrolera a la banda, como en sus origenes.

Exile. I used to live that lifestyle (see movie) back then. Looking back now, I can't believe how superior this album is in jazzy fluidity. Definitely the Stones best work. Somebody said something about underrated. Know what? Jagger is underrated as a singer. Nobody does it better than him. The free flow of his voice as it opens this song, from high to low and back. Or in Soul Survivor. Just unreal. Insane.

I'd say that after hearing Exile, the Stones can pretty much play anything that they want to play. They kick some serious ASS at C&W! Honky-Tonk Women, IS country. Did Ringo cover 'Act Naturally' by Buck? Yeah, and he NAILED it!

@tobythatsme well actually, rap and hiphop are completley different genres of music, and can be equally as good, depending on your taste. So please dont bash different genres and say they're not music, when they just aren't your taste. Comparing rock n roll to hip hop is a really stupid comparison. i'm sure the stones would rather you not compare them to anyone, just enjoy the music :)

deathmetalruler 11 months ago
@deathmetalruler Hey Bud, how about you don't bash Queen, they are one of the best bands ever to come out of the 70s, their music still thrives and survives deep in the roots of music, even today. In a world of pretentious shit music, they are alive. Let's see ANY of todays "musicians" make it for 40 years and still come out with guns ablaze. So if you have nothing nice to say about Queen or any other rock band of the 70s an 80s get the hell off Youtube. Ass.

@omfgheinz dude, i like do like 60s/70s bands. i just dont like queen.

@deathmetalruler Before you make outlandish statements just check your facts before hand because Queens glory days were the late 70s, all the really had DURING 80s was Radio Gaga, which is shit. But there classics were late 70s.

@GrantStoke Wouldn't give you a cup full of cold piss for the rest of them, not even as a job lot. Right load of second rate rubbish but the stones have a peculiar appeal that goes round the world. Say what you like about the world's stingiest front man or the guitar playing of a heroin addict, handcuffed by his habit, they still lived up to the moniker: the greatest rock n roll band in the world.

We're starting a youtube channel to get real music back. Our plan is to gain subscribers, and have bands sending us demos. We'll feature the best songs on our channel, so people can stay updated on new bands. However, we will be very selective when it comes to what we put up, so the channel won't be full of shit. We believe the reason why rock isn't on the radio is because people aren't updated about new bands. Please subscribe, or send us a demo.
Don't let the mindless crap take you

@GetRealMusicBackTV Most people are sheep.They always will be.The only reason "rock" is not on the radio anymore is because of the advancements of technology.If they could of produced a nice gay radio friendly, over produced smash hit in the 70's.......well they would of.Most people don't want to think too much.They just lap up whats in front of them.
And that usually defines the "soundtrack to their youth". Ha....its quite amusing to watch.

Just waiting on the right singer. Thanks for what you're doing. Cheers and may the light shine on you.
