about a year ago (when i started to get extremely hooked on the Stones), if you asked me about Goat's Head Soup and songs like this and Coming Down Again, i would have said, "what the hell is Goats Head Soup?!" Now i've started listening to some of the songs on this album, and now i know the true beauty behind this masterpiece.
@beantownbig3 This album is fine by most people's standards but neither it or 'It's Only Rock and Roll' are a patch on Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street. After Black and Blue was the beginning of the end for Stones' classic music for me
I am 24 now and I have discovered The Rolling Stones in 1992 when I was 4 or 5 when spending my pocket money on vinyl, which back then in the age of the CD and cassette, records were dead cheap. I noticed a Goats Head Soup LP complete with posters and a hardly used record. How much did I spend? £2! £2 for musical Excellence!
@TheKenfig Slow end doesn't last for 30 something years. I wish a lot of other musicians suffered similar lot.
This slow "dying" turned out to be a very dramatic time for the band that made most of their fame and money since then. I was following their career since early 70's, not turning death ear on other musical trends. I might be subjective, but objectivity stems from facts and not presumptions. Such is the natiure of formal logic. B&B is/WAS their superb album, though underrated heavily.
@suprainversus Well, I write 'end' becuase they have not officially ended have they. All the same, I dont care how much money they made after this ; their fame and importance as artists was sealed before this and their image and credibility decreased gradually afterwards ; their cutting edge. I don't even know their last God knows how many albums after 1981. What is B&B ??
@TheKenfig Thanks for your message. Opinion counts anyways. I don't want to sway you. Suggestion: check out the artistic entourage of Rolling Stones biography, etc. if you want to weld your POV. B&B is Black and Blue, released in 1976, as you might know. Thanks again for writing. But in my sincere view, analyzing decline of thousands of bands in rock history, the Rolling Stones with helt all possible expectations of the noun "decline." This was all meant for sharing.
@suprainversus Oh my God, how dumb am I ?? Of course it is ! . I actually like Black & Blue very much and I like quite a bit of I.O.RnR too, but AFTER B&B they went kind of cosy musically for me and had lost their kind of 'subversive' aspect integral to them. Didn't like Some Girls. I felt it was now showbizzy, establishment and more conformist superstar image
The BESTEST from "goats head soup", too bad the piece of shit dj's never gave this INCREDIBLE tune the airtime that other lesser songs from the lp got! ;o)
I was pretty much on coke and everything else when I first heard it on the album goats head soup that I bought at the time I was resting at home after my motorcycle accident peeing in my bed at night because I coouldnt stand up my leg was hurting too much...my boss was calling and crying on the answering machine, I was'nt answering.... I was pissed off of this sucker...it was 2002 I was 32. Now I'm clean and I'm moving to my ex-wife place I just quit again the same boss....for good damn..damn

It's about Keith dancing with death and his heroin addiction...not the devil. i am assuming. it's all about interpretation. but i cant imagine any situation where it would be about David Bowie or Neil Diamond or Howard Dean
@neverindoubt well, whatever it is, its just artistic expression, i suppose, and im christian but still am able to listen to this without any problems. so i guess, my/our interpretation is just our opinion anyways
umm i thought it was mr d the devil go figure goats head soup i never herd it was about david bowie can someone give me some documents i love to see it
Allways thought this was one of the Stones better albums. This was my first Stones album, yeah Im old, so what. This album never got the credit it should of. Guess it was comercial enogh for radio! Good to hear it again . Thanks
@hicknan219 I think the Stones were just vitctims of their own greatness. The album prior to Goat was Exhile on Main St (greatest album of all time), at least IMO. Hard to live up to the raw power, and musical genious Exhile exhibited.
GHS though is surely an underrated album. Mick Taylor laid some sick riffs down too,,,
Im a huge Stones fan and really really tried to like Goats Head, Its Only Rock n Roll, and Black n Blue...but the trio of these mid-70's albums never clicked for me. I wouldn't ever call them terrible, and I do like some of the songs on all 3..but they seemed to be in a rut during this period. Maybe too many drugs? Or maybe just brunt out from the previous 4 AMAZING rock records and the huge early 70's tours...Anyway, The Stones are still the best ever and Ill try to listen to Goat Head again :)
@mikekinney288 Then your not really a stones fan because goats head,it's only rockand roll ,sticky fingersand black and blue are there 4 best alblums ever
I was a idiot , i had this poster, But my family told me it was to GROSS for the houshold. and i gave it to my friend, now i relaize how rare that poster was....so...my only comment for that was.. FUUUUUCKK . Other then that...love this album, always will, rock on.
I never really noticed how busy the bass line is during the first verse, that must be Keith playing bass on this one. Killer groove on Dancin' With Mr. D
fuck the critics, they very seldom know what they like. they always just try to give very obvious, blunt descriptions as to not be told that their opinions are 'wrong'
@PAULLONDEN I'm glad you saved me the trouble of saying that. Such talk generally gets me the "you left it in the 60s" leer. I think Mick Taylor provided them with some major mojo. I often wonder what would have transpired if Steve Marriott had gotten the nod later on.
Yep, Mister D is not the devil....fabledmabel nailed the answer to this perfectly. Great Time & Era To have Grown up During-I Should Know !!! 5 Starz!!
I'm 3 kind's of sideways , move like you've never seen, got the grind just baby, .. drip off-a me, move to the left, then move to the right ,move.. like, I ,like, ...according to me.
@imaRoLLingStonzFan i think the fact that he asks the lord for mercy at that point shows it is about death..if he was freely worshipping the devil as many think, he wouldnt be saying that. just my opinion
@livewirevirginia Plenty of people openly worship the devil, take Jimmy Page for instance, he openly did it, even bought "the worlds most evil mans" house so he can play with it. I mean, it could mean Death, it could very well also mean the Devil. But who cares, it makes for good music right? I could care less if he worships the devil, that's his personal choice, I just like their music. There's always going to be bible thumpers who will put down every form of media that's not "Christian"
@GotThe89Vision well, pagey was little different. he was into occult and stuff, and he did do that stuff with aleister crowleys house. but he wasnt like those satanic posers you see in heavy metal today. it wasnt so much devil worshipping as interest in it and "do what thou wilt." the stairway stuff is a bunch of bs i think and it has a lot of deist references
@livewirevirginia nah stairways real man, I played it backwards myself, shit's scary what they say in it. But i mean, it's like opposites, where theres a stairway to heaven theres a broken elevator to hell. But Jimmy was blamed for the deaths of Jon and I think Robert Plants kid because of his obsession. The kids in heavy metal do it because they think it's something cool to do and don't know what they're fuckin with. Which is why they fight the air.
@GotThe89Vision ive heard it too...it doesnt seem like a coincidence, admittedly, but i mean, the amount of concentration it would take to make that message is unbelievable, plus, as robert plant said, the song was made with the best intention, and focusing on subliminal messages isnt their idea of making music. i believe robert plant, but i could easily be wrong and with john -- jimmy went a little crazy with the drugs after about 1975, and he just brought bonzo with him. really sad stuff
@livewirevirginia Well, the people making the music can have the "best intentions" but they're mere puppets in Satans presence, when you summon a power such as that, you have no real control, I mean just look at cats like Lil Wayne, and a bunch others I don't feel like bringing up. They're clearly pawns, who hold great influence over the people, and rake in massive amounts of money. many songs backwards are fuckin' creepy. Like in "lil waynes I feel like dying" saying I'm the god beneath you
@GotThe89Vision well, i dont believe in that witchcraft stuff personally, i think pagey was interested in "do what thou wilt" and i think that all these other guys, like lil wayne, are posers trying to look hard. but the reason this discussion started, are the stones satanic? personally, i think theyre not. this song, for me, was about death, and sympathy for the devil was about humanity. the great think about art is that it represents what you want it to represent.
@livewirevirginia Well doing what thou wilt is a saying from satanists way back who want to drink all the alcohol they can handle and fuck every girl they can find. God wants us to live a much simpler, better life. I love the stones I won't lie, but are they satanic? I don't know, they have alot of satanic representation, but it could be for attention. That and they seem pretty immortal lol. I believe in God and the devil because I've walked on both sides, Gods side is just more comforting
@GotThe89Vision i agree..many who worship the devil are trying to free themselves, but submit themselves totally before satan, so they arent doing themselves any good. an all forgiving, unconditionally loving god just makes more sense. the stones, though...they dont have any particularly satanic songs, this one would probably be the worst of them all, but it might not even be about satan, we cant judge their artwork
@GotThe89Vision satanism has a lot to do with wanting to separate oneself from what has come before or exists presently, and in this sense is very anarchistic. "do as thou wilt" is not necessarily as depraved as you interpret it to be here. it could be, for example, civil disobedience. actions defined by a code different from the accepted or currently practiced one. as to the message of the bible about lifestyle: it's so contradictory that it could be saying fuck every girl you can find.
so its simply living free, without any rules besides the ones set by your own personal code, the only reason people call doing whatever you want "depraved" is because they make it "depraved", even though its just a word thats definition is only based on what you want it to mean. so the run down is, right and wrong do not exist in the real world, right and wrong is what you want them to be.
@Mikkael365 I encourage you and your neighbors to live without any rules and don't forget to tell them that right or wrong doesn't exist in this world. It will be very helpful to tangle your life in perpetual conflicts. Yours is the most enlightening reflection on freedom, I will post it on the door of the nearest bank and it will be robbed tomorrow. Give it to politicians today and you will scrape the ashes of the nuclear world the next day.
the problem with this is stupid people. you can't just straight up give stupid people this information, cause either it'll come back to kick yuo in the ass, or you'll have wasted yuor time because they all think your crazy now. now you and me both need to watch what we say and who to say it to, cause everything has a consequence, good or bad.
Lookin' down a fourty-four in West Virginia" . . . add that to the repetition of "black" and it's obvious this song is about death, and not the devil.
i think the Goats head soup album was well underated considering it had tracks like hundred years ago and this superb track about ole lucifer himself.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LMAOROTFL..sorry...they really should be laid to rest..and forgotten, but not this song, it's awesome~ please accept my sincerest apologies for freaking you out
i really don't fucking get it, this is a great song but the critics hated it and they managed to wipe it off the face of the planet. I hope it gets discovered in time.
@MidnightRambler444 Sorry to be so blunt. But critics are like assholes, everyone has one. If I had listened to critics years ago, I wouldn't have found the great songs that are just sitting out there waiting to be listened to. And there are millions of great songs that critics have knocked. What makes their opinions any better than anyone else's? Nothing. Go by your gut feeling. Screw critics.
@maximum1954 I agree and disagree at the same time. Music critics tend to be very experienced listeners of all kinds and types of music. Their opinion may be no better than any others, but it is more informed. On the other hand, critics take an intellectual approach to listening that isn't really warranted. A good ear for music does not necessarily require the soundest intellect.
@flockofseagulls87 SOME are ; many others are spotty nerd kids who are verbose and more concerned with seeming clever with words and have not had a great deal of experience at all
@maximum1954 heck ya!!!! im 21 and everyone says i should be listening to gaga and the new age crap but i prefer to rock it to this good stuff right here!!!! SCREW THE CRITICS!!!! \m/ ROCK ON!!!! \m/
@MidnightRambler444 I agree, I'm in my 40's and this came out when I was really young and it was always one of my favorites that got better when I got older and began to appreciate the lyrics and how well they fit with the music. I never used to hear this on the radio, but lately I've started hearing it fairly frequently. Perhaps it will make a comeback.

@jdlover202 i always thought it was the devil because in the lyrics he said "Lord have mercy FIRE and brimstone i was dancing with mr.D.
imaRoLLingStonzFan 1 year ago
@imaRoLLingStonzFan i think the fact that he asks the lord for mercy at that point shows it is about death..if he was freely worshipping the devil as many think, he wouldnt be saying that. just my opinion

imaRoLLingStonzFan 1 year ago
@livewirevirginia Plenty of people openly worship the devil, take Jimmy Page for instance, he openly did it, even bought "the worlds most evil mans" house so he can play with it. I mean, it could mean Death, it could very well also mean the Devil. But who cares, it makes for good music right? I could care less if he worships the devil, that's his personal choice, I just like their music. There's always going to be bible thumpers who will put down every form of media that's not "Christian"
GotThe89Vision 1 year ago
@GotThe89Vision well, pagey was little different. he was into occult and stuff, and he did do that stuff with aleister crowleys house. but he wasnt like those satanic posers you see in heavy metal today. it wasnt so much devil worshipping as interest in it and "do what thou wilt." the stairway stuff is a bunch of bs i think and it has a lot of deist references
livewirevirginia 1 year ago
@livewirevirginia nah stairways real man, I played it backwards myself, shit's scary what they say in it. But i mean, it's like opposites, where theres a stairway to heaven theres a broken elevator to hell. But Jimmy was blamed for the deaths of Jon and I think Robert Plants kid because of his obsession. The kids in heavy metal do it because they think it's something cool to do and don't know what they're fuckin with. Which is why they fight the air.
GotThe89Vision 1 year ago
@GotThe89Vision ive heard it too...it doesnt seem like a coincidence, admittedly, but i mean, the amount of concentration it would take to make that message is unbelievable, plus, as robert plant said, the song was made with the best intention, and focusing on subliminal messages isnt their idea of making music. i believe robert plant, but i could easily be wrong and with john -- jimmy went a little crazy with the drugs after about 1975, and he just brought bonzo with him. really sad stuff
livewirevirginia 1 year ago
@livewirevirginia Well, the people making the music can have the "best intentions" but they're mere puppets in Satans presence, when you summon a power such as that, you have no real control, I mean just look at cats like Lil Wayne, and a bunch others I don't feel like bringing up. They're clearly pawns, who hold great influence over the people, and rake in massive amounts of money. many songs backwards are fuckin' creepy. Like in "lil waynes I feel like dying" saying I'm the god beneath you
GotThe89Vision 1 year ago
@GotThe89Vision well, i dont believe in that witchcraft stuff personally, i think pagey was interested in "do what thou wilt" and i think that all these other guys, like lil wayne, are posers trying to look hard. but the reason this discussion started, are the stones satanic? personally, i think theyre not. this song, for me, was about death, and sympathy for the devil was about humanity. the great think about art is that it represents what you want it to represent.
livewirevirginia 1 year ago
@livewirevirginia Well doing what thou wilt is a saying from satanists way back who want to drink all the alcohol they can handle and fuck every girl they can find. God wants us to live a much simpler, better life. I love the stones I won't lie, but are they satanic? I don't know, they have alot of satanic representation, but it could be for attention. That and they seem pretty immortal lol. I believe in God and the devil because I've walked on both sides, Gods side is just more comforting
GotThe89Vision 1 year ago
@GotThe89Vision i agree..many who worship the devil are trying to free themselves, but submit themselves totally before satan, so they arent doing themselves any good. an all forgiving, unconditionally loving god just makes more sense. the stones, though...they dont have any particularly satanic songs, this one would probably be the worst of them all, but it might not even be about satan, we cant judge their artwork
livewirevirginia 1 year ago
@GotThe89Vision satanism has a lot to do with wanting to separate oneself from what has come before or exists presently, and in this sense is very anarchistic. "do as thou wilt" is not necessarily as depraved as you interpret it to be here. it could be, for example, civil disobedience. actions defined by a code different from the accepted or currently practiced one. as to the message of the bible about lifestyle: it's so contradictory that it could be saying fuck every girl you can find.
inkblackRose 1 year ago
@inkblackRose
so its simply living free, without any rules besides the ones set by your own personal code, the only reason people call doing whatever you want "depraved" is because they make it "depraved", even though its just a word thats definition is only based on what you want it to mean. so the run down is, right and wrong do not exist in the real world, right and wrong is what you want them to be.

@Mikkael365 I encourage you and your neighbors to live without any rules and don't forget to tell them that right or wrong doesn't exist in this world. It will be very helpful to tangle your life in perpetual conflicts. Yours is the most enlightening reflection on freedom, I will post it on the door of the nearest bank and it will be robbed tomorrow. Give it to politicians today and you will scrape the ashes of the nuclear world the next day.

@MidnightRambler444 Sorry to be so blunt. But critics are like assholes, everyone has one. If I had listened to critics years ago, I wouldn't have found the great songs that are just sitting out there waiting to be listened to. And there are millions of great songs that critics have knocked. What makes their opinions any better than anyone else's? Nothing. Go by your gut feeling. Screw critics.

coolpoolman89 1 year ago 9
@maximum1954 I agree and disagree at the same time. Music critics tend to be very experienced listeners of all kinds and types of music. Their opinion may be no better than any others, but it is more informed. On the other hand, critics take an intellectual approach to listening that isn't really warranted. A good ear for music does not necessarily require the soundest intellect.
