  • Thumbs up if..., oh wait, sorry, I forgot for a second that sticking 'thumbs up' in front of a comment is sheer desperation.

    Love this song :)

  • I dont know what 'Black Ops' is. I know this song from having heard it my whole life

  • NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS FUCKING SONG.

  • Thumbs up if you heard this song from the radio or anything that is NOT a video game.

  • Thumbs up if you don't give a fuck about thumbs-ups.

  • It was fun listening to different channels at one time with records. The cd players I have now don't let you do that.

  • Thumbs if you heard this song even before Rockband.

  • Just one side of a stereo record aint it ?

    

  • This is horse shit....someone has cleverly remixed this with Pro Tools or a program similar. The original version does NOT have Mick and Merry Clayton singing on it. I have a few of the original, legit early takes, including the one with Keith singing lead. With that said, I admit this was a fun listen....LOL

  • Wow this is all Emmaretta Marks singing before Merry Clayton stepped all over her 7 tracks she did for The Rolling Stones never getting any credit or a single dime from the boys..!  I've recorded with Emmaretta and know her distinctive voice,,Go see Gimmie Shelter Emmaretta Marks "Why Don't You Pay Me..!" The CD releases cranked Emmaretta's Superior Tracks still zero recognition or compensation She Created The Intro we all grew up hearing.. Come on Keith time to man up brother..!

  • @DuneAquaViva And Keith "borrowed" some of my father's albums when he visited with Emmaretta and never returned them, something he never forgot!

  • @mrlumpy17 Are you kidding me, that's a great story too..!

  • Vietnam was very hot @ the time of this song's release. South Vietnam was Chaos, assassinations were rampant, the peace movement used this as an anthem. The most troubling time for our country that I can remember. I beat the draft by enlisting (go figure). Even rock festivals were chaotic.(Altimont). This song means something a little different to us Vets of that era. But it is nice to hear a Jamming version of this song. Sort of wipes the slate clean of it's old memories. Kudos on the upload.

  • @RojotheRed Very well put.

  • 2070 and this will still be on the classic rock channel

  • Love Keith on here wow blow me away

  • Lol at the guy that said shit video, retard

  • shit video mint song

  • even better than the studio version - I can't be the only one who thinks Charlie Watts is the best drummer rock music has ever known - keeps better time than a Rolex

  • @michaelp3138 It IS the studio version just un-edited for realease. Maybe they were usure at the time where it was going but here it seems like the vocals were laid in the best parts of it. There are mistakes here and there but who doesn't make those? :) To me Charlie is the best for the Stones. Perfect!

  • @bgumbyguitar So it's the studio version and they just cut out alot for the album release? I like this. Sounds more like they're jamming.

  • @michaelp3138 I like it better than the studio verson too. Like I said before my favorite part is from 2:36 to 3:15. And yes Charlie Watts seems to get better and better.

  • Anthem for the homeless.

  • I like this one more than the original album version - amazing music.

  • It's unfortunate that the remixer isn't credited in the title: this is the work of electronic music legend Danny Howells. Glad to see the vid has so many views, but it would have been nice if he'd gotten the exposure he deserves to go along with it.

  • Well...it was released apparently xD

  • so fn great, give me more shelter...

  • like like like and triple like some more....better than the original, better than sex with a frog, better than 'Cats' (the musical)...less harmonica, more bass, drums, better mix, more give & take of instruments. did i mention i like this?

  • @selloutasaurus I like this better than the original too. And that's saying something, cz I love the original.

  • Six people were rocking so hard they hit the "dislike" button by mistake

  • @cbtole1 That's biologically impossible with the Stones ... hitting the "dislike" button I mean.

  • not 2 sure if i like the "new look",i just got used 2 the 'old' look.

  • need a shot from the STONES!

  • is it wrong if i listen to this in a hot summer day with like 33 degrees Celcius ? :D

  • @03iamhopeless Only if you are in the Northern Hemisphere :p

  • Wow! Real great version! Rolling Stones kick ass!

  • I'll have to look it up, thanks.

  • I heard the original release on the original album when I was stil at school. Don't like Black Ops much. I prefer Fallout 3.

  • @KillerBill1953 fallout 3 is awesome man as is pretty much everything bethesda do. Skyrim is amazing.

  • It took me until age 25 to realize this is my favorite song of all time.

  • gotta be the greatest stones song ever

  • <3

  • I'm just glad Kieth's still kickin'

  • I love what they do from 2:35 to 3:15 ... wasn't in the released version.

  • When I was a kid this song was the same then as it is today. A real trip! Bucky- Was 17 then supposed to be 58 now :)

  • War children,it's just a shot away,tooo many shots,we need peace-=-now-why can't eveyone just get along,we all live on the same planet,there is No reason for war-=-try another way-=-it's called peace,alot easier....

  • Thumbs up if you heard this before Black Ops. :)

  • @mizupman24 what's Black Ops ? I'm an old guy

  • @rok4555 It's like this war-type video game. I had to Google it, since I wasn't familiar with it either ... first time I saw reference to it was here.

  • @margolou2010  Thanks

  • @margolou2010 You're welcome. When I saw your question, I went into Google myself, since I saw the reference everywhere. Well ... now we know.

  • @rok4555 When I refer to "Black Ops" I mean the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops.

  • @mizupman24 what's black ops?

  • @mizupman24 what's Black Ops?

  • @mizupman24 Did they even have this song in black ops? I remember Sypathy for the Devil.

  • @mizupman24 - this song *is* black ops.

  • Good Fuckin' Song

  • @sarayoungman I think this is just the instrumental version of the song? Don't know honestly, it just seems like the original sound mixes that were just released for the hell of it. Good song though! Love the Stones.

  • msgabs79,,,, that is the most accurately profound perceptive rumination I have read on utube,,,,,,,,,,,

  • just when you think you gettin somewhere here,you are getting someplace else...a masterpiece of jam....

  • just when you think you gettin somewhere here....you get someplace else in this song..A masterpiece of jam

  • Lacks the guts of the 'released' version. Too messy, too much going on, just kills the song. Definitely not the song I fell in love with back in the day.

  • Where can I get the recording of this,in a digital?

  • This song always reminds me of something sleazy or drink n drugs, its like a song at the end of an era which what the sixties were, and we are paying for the drug excess,still love this track though

  • @bregreen72 Nah, it's a harbinger of things to come and a cautionary tale of just how much worse things could and would get.

  • On your road trip tunes list,...add this one as "Heavy Shit to beat those asphalt blues."

  • LOVE HER SCREAMING....just beltin' it out....ahh nice remix

  • This sounds like shit...don't fuck with the Stones dude...your mix sucks, the levels are fucked and your an idiot..............good day sir!

  • @CountGams Gotta say, it's just a matter of taste ... respect your opinion but I have to disagree. IMO I like this remix better, although I still love the other version. Maybe we get to hear more of the rhythm section ... whatever it is, I like it alot. Good thing we have both versions, for the people who like the other version.

  • @CountGams funny when people say "your an idiot." It shows how smart they are... You're too cool bro

  • such a cool REMIX of the GREATEST ROLLING STONES SONG yeah, gimmie shelter, love you ♥♥♥

  • I love you.. for posting this. LOVE

  • I like these posts about the background ratchet sound I mentioned earlier. But I had to research it a bit and discovered that the mystery sound is being produced by someone in the band playing a "guiro"

  • @gimmeshelter1969 i thought everybody knew this..

  • That creaky sound is Keef chewing on roaches man ... spit out the juice son!!!

  • I love this. Few songs embody a time and place so well. This track speaks of 1970s New York during a long hot summer, where everything gets a little crazy...

  • @fergal76 I can't wait til 2070.. NOTHING like the 70s..

  • @misredkimmy this album came out in 1969....

  • @dan11009 wasn't born til 72. It was a 70s album to me. :-)

  • @misredkimmy

    why?

  • @misredkimmy

    Aw, crap!  I'll be dead. (I bet you will be, too.)

  • @itlhermits I'll be 98... ROFL!

  • Comment removed

  • @misredkimmy this album came out in 69. Fail

  • @misredkimmy This song and album were recorded in the 60's...>.>

  • Gimme Shelter is from the Let It?

  • @Huisihuilke Yep, Side 1, Track 1 of "Let It Bleed" ;-)

  • Can I get this on itunes? Damn that shit is hot!

  • I love this song. What's that creaky little sound I hear all through the track? Makes it even more cool.

  • @gimmeshelter1969 I believe the sound you are hearing is a washboard... :)

  • This version sounds it it was made for the film of the same name.

  • COntact high!!!

  • Love this ... I gotta listen to this at least once a day.

  • love those old stone records.

    love & rockets from belgium

    X

  • 6 people must have ear muffs on

  • BLACK SABBATH RULES !!!!

  • @CraigMoon23 rolling stones way better

  • This is the first time I ever heard the extended version and I actually prefer it over the other one. This is one of the greatest rock songs by one of the greatest rock bands ever. Definitely the very best of the Stones.

  • I can't make it loud enough. xD

  • When I was a young kid, we had a bar next door and this was one of those songs that kept me out of sleep. Again and again. It stifled my school perfomances. #War, children, is just a shot away#

  • When I was baby, many years ago, my dad used to play this song to make me fall asleep.

    I will be doing the same to my kids, when I am eventually "blessed" with the little buggers.

  • all i know is when i hear Jumpin Jack Flash, people start dying.

  • angels forever forever angels.................

  • This is the shit.....Dont ever want it to stop!!!!!!

  • 4 people are just a shot away ;)

  • @tomislav667 it's shout.

  • @TheGruberHof

    thanks man. but it really should be "a shot" for this 4 people ;)

  • @tomislav667 By the way I looked at your profile, you probably haven't heard of the rolling stones, you probably just heard this song from Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam DLC.

  • awesome

  • What are you talking about... This is no extended unreleased mix... You just pulled the stereo jack out a little when you were recording this and you turned up the bass a lot, and repeated a lot of parts... That's it. Can't fool a recording artist.

  • Comment removed

  • @PinkFloyd201 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... Still sounds good, I gotta admit.

  • @The4thGuy True, it's a nice mix. But you can never beat the originals of anything, especially not the Stones

  • @PinkFloyd201 doubt he is trying to "fool" anyone. he's just messing around and made a cool lil diff sounding track

  • @PinkFloyd201 Hm... how does he get the abrupt ending and isolate the drums as much, I may wonder...

  • @PinkFloyd201 It was remixed from the multi-tracks using Logic Pro. Without pulling up the original project I seem to recall the multi-tracks were bounced to 8-tracks, hence certain elements were sharing a track (ie Jagger and Clayton are on the same track), and there is a lot of bleed too making a "proper" remix difficult. I should know as I did it, not the uploader!

  • If only it was yesterday all over again...

  • A construction crew got to lay off for awhile while they recorded the violin part. There were no complaints

  • No Elvis, Beatles or Brian Jones

  • If only the Stones put Honky Tonk Woman on Let it Bleed instead of the inferior Country Honk then Let if Bleed might have been the greatest rock album ever.

  • @dsfddsgh Just having "You Can't Always Get What You Want" "Midnight Rambler" Gimme Shelter" and "Monkey Man " on it makes it one of the greatest albums of all time.

    The rest of the album could have been Mick and Keith farting into a mic and it would not have mattered.

    By the way... I don't like this mix. There is no good reason to fuck up one of the greatest songs of all time like this.

  • oh my god wasnt this song made for BLACK OPS?!

  • @gusthepugisownt SO

    MUCH

    RAGE

  • @LazyByName i dont really know what your trying to say but what i said was a joke haha

  • Outstanding alternate version!

  • Where did this version come from?1? Classic stones

  • This is the first time I have heard this version. I like it a lot.

    

  • Love this track. Best STones album. No question.

  • Don't know why, but I want to play Littlebiplanet every time I listen tthis song.

  • This is an Awesome version !!

  • 0:01 

  • EARGASM!!!!!

  • Why does Youtube not yet have a auto-replay button?

  • Let it Bleed my favorite LP of the Stones.. ALso the most important LP in the Soundtrack of my life... It is fused with so many great memories of the greatest years of my life,,, Many sleepless nights where we all partied till the sun came up and drank a little more and partied even more.. Blame it on the Bad Boys of Rock... I will always love the stones. THey are the party band of ROck.. and they just make you feel so good, they are Euphoric/ intoxicating, like Heroin. ITs just a shot away.

  • @MermaidPrincess9 ---and why wasn't I invited to your parties????

  • This One Gos out to my best friend TOMMY KOLLIJA from Portland Texas who showed me this album 3 days after it was released...AHHH...those days on the beach in Port Aransas Texas,surfing with not a care in the WORLD...if I could only go back.

  • @RG4242421 amen to that brother

  • oh yea! gimme shelter baby......

  • intro a bit too long but I loved the way it kicked in

  • This is one of my top three Stones tunes... Merry Clayton helped make it so....

  • I think a couple of herberts were having a bun fight about the Vietnam war and it got a bit silly about US v. UK bands. But what about Manic Street Preachers?

  • What about Pink Floyd?

  • THE greatest song ever written!

  • Okay bro..I'll live with it....

  • Hot Damn, I Love This Song!! Always Did Always Will!!!

  • Hot Damn!!! I Love This Song!!!! Always did, Always will.

  • Great! Now I'll only have to press repeat half as often!

  • Americans have bunker hill and Patton you tea sipping brit!

  • I think you'll find that AC/DC are Aussies...from Down Under like. But what about Genesis, Who, Yes, Smiths, UFO,Dire Straits...Supertramp, but eh who's counting?

  • @Wallydaft Technically, AC/DC are mostly Scottish. ;P

  • @ACDCRocks780 The Young brothers are Scottish but AC/DC was formed in Australia, so they're considered an Australian band. What does AC/DC have to do with this video anyway? Why is everybody fighting over what country all these bands were from?

  • @generalkyletheman i have no idea. i was just throwing that piece of information out there

  • And so what if you went to the moon, we all know either a russian, a dog or a monkey went there first. anyway america, know is justin, gaga and wayne doing :D ?

  • @JordanEvans3794 nevermind you did mention sabbath, my point is, in the past both the us and uk pulled out some great music, but yes we currently make shitty music, but there are a few good american bands still left, black rebel motorcycle club, and the black angels to name a few.but we have opinions separate from our own..

  • @outlawcountryman rock and rock will live again soon, yeah we got kasabian and the kings but thats nothing to what we have had in the past... our music is pretty much the same over here aswell... look up on youtube cher lloyd - swagger jagger... shes a 17 year old bitch which cant sing and relays on people to write their lyrics and uses auto tune, like beiber and wayne... look it up and dislike it us brits we are pissed at her !!

  • @outlawcountryman rock n roll* lol

  • Vietnam was just a pointless war, I'm so proud to be British... where the hell do I start, The Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Queen, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Stone Roses, Oasis, ACDC, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden and so much more, also Jimi Hendrix had to come to britain to get famous, because guess what, america was going to another pointless war haha... also a british man made the computer and the internet, just had to get that in aswell lol :D

  • @JordanEvans3794

    But you still lost it all, why?

  • @smackbunny Lost what?.

  • @JordanEvans3794 we have blue oyster cult, grand funk railroad ,creedence clearwater revival,the doors, lynyrd skynyrd,zz top, ted nugent, van halen,billy joel,aerosmith, Bob dylan, steve miller band,the james gang, the eagles,bob seger and the silver bullet band, the allman brothers band,johnny cash,waylon jennings, the doobie brothers, Dire straits and many more but why did you fail to mention sir elton john? or the almighty black sabbath?

  • Haunting Guitar . Almost Spiritual. Best Rock and Blues Band On The Planet.

  • Love this extended version mix! :)

  • Hey Kalen01, do you happen to know where I can get this wondrous extended-play version?

  • 3 people have no desire for shelter . . .

  • @SirFone get a life

  • nice mix, very cool. like I was 18 again

  • 3 people think Meredith Hunter was innocent.

  • @aaronbfischer: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Hey man, cut the brother some slack; a bunch of Hell's Angels attacked him with their jimmy sticks and bike chains! Heck, should he be blamed for pulling a piece in self-defense?

  • Wow, Totally blew me away! This is super great!!!

  • the beatles are better.
