  • It's Fun! Not the Best cover but Better than a lotta them! Ashley Cleveland and Thunder have done the Best Covers.

  • Anthem for these times.

  • That boy can play guitar.

  • I saw the Stones play this at Altamont. Not this good. Merry Clayton made the song great on the original record. Keith is positively the most overrated guitar player ever. He chugs power chords just fine, but he needs Woody or even better, Mick Taylor to play something amazing.

  • only alicia do her job great

  • CCrider: If you say that shit.... you dont understand the music this is crap.... nobody can touch the stones with their songs only themselvs...

  • awesome

  • Alicia Keys is the most beautiful singer from today and she's also very talented. And Keith Urban is also a great live act.

  • Alicia Keys is a good singer... however she did butcher this song up, she tried too hard when she didn't have to

  • The band is the very definition of tight (the drummer is great), they actually play the song better live than The Stones. Yes Mick and Keith wrote the damn song and were brilliantly creative but they could also be sloppy live.

  • IT's blasphemous for this hip-hop no talent bitch to be singing one of the holy of holies in rock history. This sucks.

  • @bustballz She's an epic singer....you're an idiot. I don't even like her but she's far from talentless. Imbecile.

  • @bustballz She is not even hip-hop stupid! She's an R&B-soul singer with plenty of talent! She's a great singer and you obviously don't have any talent!

  • @bustballz You sir are completely foolish and ignorant. To make it worse, you're ignorant of your own ignorance. SMH

  • worst thing Keith Urban ever did was let go of Brad Rice from his band!

  • Funny, people think they know this song, Alicia Keys did a great job right up there with Merry Clayton.

  • mick is better

  • LOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! SUPER COOL!!!

  • Grand Funk Railroad the masters of this song!!!

  • Alicia Keyes is the only person I've ever heard sing this song that could even come CLOSE to the original singer..This is a fantastic performance.

  • Comment removed

  • Talent actually rules this performance - if you missed that, you missed much more than just that.

  • This is the epitamy of cool! Great guitar player, great singer, great song....lighten uo haters, no it's not the Stones, but i guarantee they would love it....

  • lol leave it to the stones

  • El Sucko.

  • country singers dont need to try to be cool singing classics :/

  • This sounds great. All the haters and naysayers need to get their own life to criticize. So tired of reading negative comments from people who just want to tear others down and make unkind remarks. Get a life so you will not need to destroy others.

    Alicia K is super talented!

  • @spartacusshephard thats why so many expected more

  • I wanna how exactly this cover is bad... I hear people saying that alicia keys sucked, but you know what, these musicians dont limit themselves and just do a collab when they feel like it. like the collab between stevie ray vaughan and david bowie backin the day. Alicia Keys has a great voice and she did her part with more emotion and skill than most people saying here she sucks.

  • This is a great cover of an often covered tune. A TON of energy and passion. Who cares if it is not the Stones, it WORKS!!

  • Where's Merry Clayton when you need her?

  • Damn, calm your tits people. They're not the Rolling Stones, so don't expect them to sound like the Rolling Stones. The song applied to the occasion so they used it.. not.. copied it.

  • the version of STEREOPHONICS is 10000000000000 time much better !!!!

  • I think Rolling Stones should sue both of them.........

  • Comment removed

  • @3dg3y15 You may feel it was terrible, but it was awesome. Why do you people have to be so stupid? So fucking racist. Get a clue. have you ever heard the version with Mary Clayton? You know she sang with soul and is "urban" as well. I'm tired of you fucking retards getting upset because you can't accept anything new. Get a fucking life. It's okay to not like something but your opinion was awfully full of ignorance.

  • @CHANTELsce Sounds like you need to calm yourself down love. Typically withdrawing the racism card, a deadly riposte. Why do you care so much what someone the other side of the globe thinks about the music you like? Trolling through all the bad comments on a youtube video, you're equally as bad as the replies you leave.

  • @3dg3y15 Not exactly, your comment was deleted either by you or someone else. APparently, I'm not the only one who sought it disrespectful. I pull no cards. If it's racist, it's racist.

  • It was a great version. Just enjoy it you turkeys. They are not trying to do a better version of the song.They are just doing it how they would do it. 

  • It was a great version. Just enjoy it you turkeys. They are not trying to do a better version of the song.They are just doing it how they would do it.

  • @Pinger1965 And they did it wrong.....

  • This is a joke, right??

  • Yicks this is rough to listen to.

  • you can please some people some of the time ,but you cant please all the people all the time ,, i thought it was great , but that's only my opinion

  • that was a bad female vocal!! check out lisa fisher with the stones doing this in amsterdam 1995. Amazing!!

  • @dorkhunter1 I was t this concert and this performance was amazing. The crowd went nuts. I fell in love with Keith Urban that day.

    

  • And again!

  • @urbanbamafan lol fag

  • @GabeGuitarr Just curious. Who do you like? What kind of music do you call good if this isn't it? Seriously, I'd like to know. And I'm female, by the way. Not male, not gay.

  • @urbanbamafan not saying the song sucks, I'm saying they killed a good song and you liking it is not good

  • @GabeGuitarr I'm not a Stones fan, what can I say. I'm not familiar with the original at all. But I do like this version. To each his own . . .

  • @urbanbamafan you dont know what youre missing

  • Just enjoyed it thoroughly again!

  • i don't want to live on this planet anymore...

  • This song..........they ruined it.THEY MOTHERFUCKING RUINED IT! NOO!

    (puts revolver to head)

    FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!

    *bang*

  • Alicia is on some bad cocaine!

  • haters!!! if it was the same....... it would be the same, which would make it lame...... damn maan!

  • Alicia Keys is one of my favorite artist, and I love this performance, though I must admit she really is yelling.

  • philip seymour hoffman plays the drums

  • Alicia Keys was awesome, Keith Urban no so much

  • When is the Rihana's version ?

  • 133 people missed the dislike button

  • What a overrated bitch, she has to listen to Don Brewer from Grand Funk and learn what it means to kick ass the Stones...

  • Who is this douche bag?

  • It's no Mick & Lisa but I'll give it an E for effort....

  • Funny how there alot more likes on this video. I think they did a GREAT job!!!

  • I think this is a great cover! Enjoyed it thoroughly!

  • @urbanbamafan wrong, sorry

  • @GabeGuitarr Wrong that I enjoyed it thoroughly? I assure you I did.

  • Oh my God, that was terrible.

  • I was there and I thought I would drop dead from seeing Keith Urban do this. OMG

  • I think this is simply homage to the Stones by artists who stepped a little out of their comfort zones - which, I think, says a lot about them and the quality of their respect because doing such isn't easy. Of course they aren't the Rolling Stones. They are Keith Urban and Alicia Keys playing an immortalized tune. I say give 'em some shelter too.

  • The drummer looks like a troll.

  • Well, they manage to put more energy into it than the Stones themselves have been able to muster in decades. But that's not saying much.

  • They are just paying their respects to the Greatest Rock n Roll band in the world while its being broadcast all over the world! I give them big props for that!

  • country singers need to stay the fuck away from good music they dont know what to do when they fucking get it. and alicia keys omg what was that?

  • @tonyo7 Keith Urban is country? (joking). The guy is like Australia's versionof Bon Jovi.

  • Was ok...till Alicia Keys started singing...

  • @namelessliar nope, it was okay until they started playing.

  • @namelessliar There is nothing wrong with her singing. 

  • @namelessliar I would say just the opposite

  • not the stones....

  • I love, Love, LOVE this version!!!!

  • Love, Love, LOVE this version!!!!!

  • when i die will someone play the beginning riff to gimme shelter?if i'm really dead i won't move.just so we'll know.love the song,george

  • WOW LUV THIS!!!

  • I meant like Keith Richards!!!!!!!!!

  • And nobody plays guitar like Keith!

  • Keith is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Alicia had trouble singing this even though i love her. !!!!

  • Oh Alicia I was right with you until you started playing the piano....sigh

    And...I'm not really sure you knew what you were singing about....

  • Oh Alicia I was right with you until you started playing the piano....sigh

  • Love Keith and Alicia but have to agree with theskippyspartan 100%.Doesn't even come close to the original.

  • Burns like a what? Alicia...lol

  • Hey mom take a pic!!!!

  • who the fuck think you are, covering the stones. alicia keys is just a stupid pop girl,

    "gimmie shelter,' oh that sound nice, lets rape it"

  • @EmielZeno56 She's not a stupid pop girl. She's an intelligent woman who sings from the soul. She's a soul singer and not too much pop.

  • Hey, look mom! Everyone is playing and singing out of key except Alicia...

  • The Sisters of Mercy"s version is way better!WTF Is Alicia Keys doing in this song?

  • @dorkhunter1 sisters of mercy version is way better!Alicia Keys wtf are you doing with this song?

  • they are idiots if compared to the rolling rocks

  • Its like a singalong. Shut them up!! Damn hick, you would wish u could play real music

  • oh my god...........the fag-version of the Classic song. Make this go away..

  • Alicia's got as much passion as a sardine. A dead one. Out of a can.

  • Alicia Keys is the closest any cover song has gotten to Merry Clayton's vocals.

  • GFR has a better cover. this is not good..both singers are okay but this a hot mess!!

  • These two performers, Keith Urban in particular, cut the balls off this great song. What a shame. If you want to hear this song in all of its glory, then listen to the live Altamont version.

  • Mick and keith are way better!!!

  • white honkeys just dont cut it with the vocals

  • Check-out the drummer, there's not many cool overweight blond drummers in the business,..he must get all of the gigs, lucky guy! (NB: When Alicia Keys shakes her rack and shouts the lyrics "Rape.." ......well, that just does it for me) cheers for the video, even though they both suck at singing it.

  • @rileydd08 "You're" a dumbass. "Your" mother must feel ashamed.

  •  A kick-ass version of the Stones' best song, Urban does well, and this is certainly the most passionate vocal of Keyes' that I've heard -- doesn't hurt, either, that she looks very fine indeed:) --

  • @stevevandien haha...yes "passionate" is a good choice of words, but probably a better description would be "sucking and not pulling it off". lol. But she's hot, so it doesn't matter that she is off-key and out-of-time.

  • @Ashvegian Your channel suggests you are knowledgeable and tasteful about music and the arts. So I don't know why you attack and insult one with whom you disagree. I don't believe absolutely precise time and intonation are as vital in rock as in classical and jazz. Why not discuss this, exchanging ideas rather than insults? If you'd rather keep distorting my opinions ("fine" doesn't mean "hot"), that's your decision. But I'd much rather have a meeting of the minds:). Best, Steve

  • @stevevandien I agree man... you win! lol :)

  • I never knew Phillip Seymour Hoffman played the drum kit.

  • guitar sux ass.

  • @rileydd08 - Seems to Me that Keith has made an all Right Living ,...How's the Kraft Dinner in Your Moms Basement?.....

  • @mrjamesb56 because keith is a sellout. not country hes pop and bubblegum everything country isnt and its definitely not rock so you can go fuk urself u piece of shite. i dont have a basement. hows the retirement home old man

  • @rileydd08 -Good luck with getting your G.E.D , I hear 19th time is the charm!...

  • @mrjamesb56 since i graduated early dumass!

  • @rileydd08 -the 3rd Grade? .....

  • @rileydd08 -Don't Go Away Mad,....Just Go Away.......

  • @mrjamesb56 i'm not mad dude. i'm just surprised that your trying to get a rise out of me. and commented on something i wrote 3 weeks ago. you obviously need a counselor.

  • @rileydd08 ...I don't Care , Just Go Away .... Keep Chuggin'....

  • @mrjamesb56 no

  • this is not big or clever infact its crap. The stones only know how this song should be arranged and performed correctly.

  • Good god. this cover is awful :( Alicia Keys sucks so bad

  • so this is rock and roll...............what did i just watch................saw some bird screaming and that was about it lol

  • fuck this cover

  • aight .. pure rock and roll !!!

  • Alice, calm dawn. Sing the song New York... streets are brand new and DO NOT use rock songs. This is The Rolling Stones not hiphop. !!

  • this borders on sacrilegious ....Merry Clayton and Lisa Fisher both should be insulted with this,songs meant to be wailed with soul,sex and despair- not sounding like a pair of itchy rectums belching

  • Alicia what are you doing?! Version good but Alicia calm dawn!

  • i saw this tour in oakland ca with my dad and i will never forget it. it stopped raining the sec mick stepped on stage and the min the concert was over it started raining again. good times I miss you dad r i p

  • This is not good.  The best cover I heard of this song is Stereophonics.

  • weak,weak,weak.They don't have a groove...

  • Bitch is off-key.  She couldn't eat Lisa Fisher's pussy.

  • I don't think she was fully off key. Btw Lisa Fisher couldn't eat Neil fallon's asshole or all of clutch for that matter...

  • i love this version! :)

    rock and roll!

  • I LOVE THIS COVER!!!!Keith Urban rocked that guitar, and Alicia Keys can really sing rock n roll.

  • Go to Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter Paridiso 1995

    Love Alicia Keyes but Lisa Fischer blows her out of the water.

  • You said it,  Lisa Fisher is just unbeatable

  • This guy's a fucking villager.

  • agreed the stones would be pissed

  • Neither had any business touching this song. Utter blasphemy!!!

  • idiot qeend1113...dont watch then. Its a great cover by the way. Go Keith!

  • I never realised how much of a good voice alicia keys had shes ausome! :)

  • Great stuff:) --

  • See this is good for being a cover and Keith did a great job on guitar!...but you can"t beat the orignal...If Keith sang Mick"s part and if Alicia sang only Merry Clayton"s part......the harmony would sound really cool!

  • that's a pretty good cover but no one BEATS LISA FISCHER ON THE VOCALS, even alicia Keys....

  • Alicia's solo in this song gives me chills. What a voice.

  • AWESOME!!!!! Keith Urban rocks on this Stones cover. Alicia Keys (the best singer in this world) is so powerful n mazing in every style of music. Shr can do everything. I love this video!!!
