Paint it Black - The Deep Six (1966)

[POPAVIDEO]

surprenant .

[Krose333]

The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. .

[wassilij123]

gigantische adaption. das original kann sich verstecken...!

[NormbrettaMod]

meemee

[lemurianchick]

It sounds a bit like the intro to "Hotel California" at the very beginning. LOL

[marrrrrrks]

I like this version!

[yiuz696969]

the rolling stones 1st sang the song thats for sure.but great cover and this one. and its not woody its roadrunner

[oliveriosteinn]

I like how they make it their own. Beautiful cover :)

[COGENTCOG]

I thought the Road Runner from Looney Tunes cartoons at 0:49 was your joke, then I found out I have it on my cd reissue too, no informations about that in the booklet but it seems the band liked to do funny things with their songs (even if producers didn't let the band release them on record) ...quite strange though... :))

[howard385]

Jagger and Richards (and possibly Wyman and Jones) wrote the song so it's doubtful that Deep Six recorded it first.

[TheWizardOfSmog]

Lovely version and it's deffo the roadrunner - beep-beep!

[huskyjerk]

5*****

[Abrohill]

La caratula es muy parecida a la de Los Psicodelicos de Chile, año 1967

[squirllmill]

This band took my dads band name Deep Six. My dad had it first.

[Touficast]

Did the Rolling Stones take it from these guys? I'm sure most people would not think so but it seems these guys had the song first as I highly doubt they would copy the Rolling Stones back in 66 and come up with a pure version like this one.... It would be interesting to find out the fact and not people's opinions. Objectively speaking, Rolling Stones did a better job singing it, but that doesn't mean they did not take it from the Deep Six.

[revolution1940]

@Touficast Deep Sixx covered the Rolling Stones :) And they did a might fine job!!! :)

[Touficast]

@revolution1940 Thanks, but do you know for sure? If you listen again to the song, it has some details which are hard to imagine copying would come up with.. Like the "hey hey hey" and the car beep at 0:49.. btw, I agree I think they definitely did a fantastic job although the recording could have been enhanced.

[revolution1940]

@Touficast the "hey hey hey, and car sound" are added in. That is not from The Stones. Deep Six changed it up a bit. But I'm 110% sure its a Rolling Stones song :)

[kinderkake]

@revolution1940 the original is not stones ....its Eric Burdon!!! stones and everybody else covered from burdon...

[PsychedelicWarfare]

sounds great excluding the "hey hey hey"

[andreasheinz]

woooooow

totallyfuckincrazincool

BTW heard it first on "topshelfoldies", best radio on the planet

[yahood66]

@Eriickk09, you're clearly stupid and hard of hearing if you think this is better than The Rolling Stones ! Get to a hearing test today.

[jgsjapo1]

Is that Woody Woodpecker at 0.49 sec ?

[revolution1940]

@jgsjapo1 hahaha, I wish I knew :)

[Sergeant26]

@jgsjapo1 You mean Roadrunner? lol

[epiphaniesjuxtapozed]

@jgsjapo1 hahahaha i think it was the roderunner. 

[epiphaniesjuxtapozed]

@jgsjapo1 hahahaha i think it was the roadrunner.

[RoyFive]

@jgsjapo1 Roadrunner, LOL! All kidding aside, it's great that others remember the Deep Six. I first heard the Rising Sun back in 1965 and it's shelf life on our local AM pop station was too short.

[diooib]

@jgsjapo1 Roadrunner.. meep meep

[ALTAKIDD]

@jgsjapo1 road runner

[ezmul]

@jgsjapo1 it sounds more like Roadrunner (meep,meep)

[Kassandra1Kink]

wow,it's just an amazing version!

[merseymain]

this isSHIT!

[willminkorea]

Who is that strong male lead singer? How did this band NOT become huge?

[Eriickk09]

fuckk this is bttr than the original one by the rolling stones

[vangelisideras]

para mi gusto este es uno de los mejores cover de esta extraordinaria y multiversionada canción; gracias stones!!

[aomwn3]

This may be one of the best examples of an over managed group ever. Managers Denny Bond and Kenny Mansfield (Beatles) had two great writers in the group in Don Dunn and Dan Lottermoser and ignored their work to go with crap written by Dave Gray. I mean give me a break, "What would you wish from the Golden Fish?'

It doesn't get any worse than that.

[1SampaSampa]

so n scheiss

[vangelisideras]

muy interesante, gracias por el post

[ParadoxapocalypSatan]

wonderful...tears of nostalgia for a time before birth

[Megesse]

00:49 ;c)

[skunkhead2006]

like this version very chilled

[jjaykamp]

The lead was done by Don Dunn not Dave Gray. I knew these characters long before they moved to LA from San Diego.

We used to play the Land O Oden.

[lasoucoupevolante]

Nice ! you got the original vinyl song uploaded ! Amazing cover, Dave Gray and Canon did an awesome work.

[treehugggrrr]

Thanks for posting this. I heard this album in '76 and fell in love. Haven't seen it since, but I've been thinking about getting the CD on Amazon. Hearing/Seeing it has verified that it was as good as I remember.

[VirginSuicide77]

Yes, with all their 45 only singles, you can get it on Amazon.

[yuptup23]

this is the best cover i have ever heard!!!

nothing else is better than this!!

this is better than the beatles original!!!

you are a really good singer!!! and have such a creative mind...

i'm really interested in being friends with you....

we can talk about john lennon, maybe at a bus stop sometime??

[elderboy22]

Actually the original is by the Rolling Stones...

[revolution1940]

hahaha! that was my lame brother being an idiot. He knows the original is by the Stones. lol but this is still a very very good cover!!! :)

[PsychedelicGuy]

This honestly is the bestcover of Paint if Black I've ever heard. This LP is kinda hard to find, hope I can find it soon!

[myrecordcollection]

Cool! I first came into contact with this band when I found a copy of their "What Would You Wish from the Golden Fish" 45, and then I found the album. I also have the Rev-Ola CD. My favorite cover on the album is actually "Solitary Man"--great vocals on that one. My other fave songs from the band are "Rising Sun" (their almost-hit) and the aformentioned "Golden Fish."

[revolution1940]

Yeah I really like 'Solitary Man', they did an awesome cover of that. I made the 'Paint it Black' video, because I knew people would be able to find this great band by searching that song. Thanks for the comment!
