Best record of all the stones records, especially the end bit just listen to the instrumentals, it should have been an entire record on its own, totally briliant.
In 1964 I was in the 9th grade in San Diego, Ca. The Stones came to town. Me and my buddy Victor bought tickets to their concert. $6.00 can you believe it??:?????
The Byrds opened for them. The Stones only did 4 songs. I guess you get what you pay for.
i agree the best rock 'n roll band of all time all of the hip hop- or whatever the hell they call it, is crap and poisoning other people's minds, telling them to be a drug lord or they talk about sex and only sex. Nobody knows about The Rolling Stones anymore and i wish more people knew about them and listen to good music than to listen to the shit people listen to these days.
@gamerlehu1238 you are clearly an idiot. how can you say one genre of music is s responsible for turning people into drug dealers. in case you haven't noticed the rolling stones have been writing songs about drugs and sex way before hip-hop even existed. people have been drug lords wayyyyy before hip-hop and the rolling stones and will still be drug lords way after.
Most of the really great Rock was made in the 60s. The Stones are great but they weren't ahead of their time. The class of talent that was gowing up at this time has to be one of the greatest classes of all time. Check out the names... many giants.
did you know this song was written by Bobby Womack
i was researching him and saw he wrote this for the stones and wanted to hear it. anyways, not trying to take anything away from eaither artist. good stuff
@bloodstainss Yes, this song was written by Bobby Womack, yet he didn't write it for the Stones. Womack & his brothers originally recorded it as the Valentinos - under the direction of Sam Cooke. The Stones (quite young at the time) heard it, loved and covered it. Womack was originally pretty upset about it. He was upset that the Rolling Stones covered it and made it a hit, while he & his brothers were for the most part still unknown at the time. Source: Dream Boogie: Legend of Sam Cooke.
Hey surfside48 Thanks for clearing that up for me. You know I grew up in the sixties and there are other songs where I always had the lyrics wrong. Like, " Can't Hurry Love," I thought she said, "..., it's a game of kiss and trate!" he he Also on the song "And The Wind Cries Mary," I thought Jimi was saying,"...., after all the JETS are in their boxes." On Janis Ian's, Society's Child, I thought she said,"..., one of these days I'm gonna raise up my dress and we can slide." Naughty.
Alot of songs like The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" were kind of mumbled singing to give the effect of x-rated music and thats why they did so well on sales,and, also on the Billboard Charts. I was in the Navy, in the mid '60s to early '70s so I missed Woodstock. But with all the drugs, mud, and VD there, I'm glad I didn't go. I spent A tour in Vietnam and 13 Months in Holy Loch, Scotland, compliments of the US Navy. The rest of the time in stateside bases. Music was our best friend.
Hey surfside This is what I found out about "Louie Louie" Because the song was literally recorded in a garage they had to get it right "live" in one take. There was no overdubbing. If someone messed up they'd have to start over and do it again. At the beginning of the second verse you can clearly hear the drummer shout "fuck!" Because he accidently hit his drumsticks as he was playing. But the band carried on and finished the song. The source of this info came from the drummer himself!
Don't feel bad, I always thought that too until a few years ago when I read the lyrics, and also realized when it was released they would not have allowed that. And I don't believe for a moment that most people thought he said "high class games" when they first heard these songs!
On a record I have (EMI), Mick clearly sings "half-ass games". However, the American (London) version has Mick singing "high-class games". Strange back then. Some things you could get away with; some, you couldn't. As for getting lyrics wrong, "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" is the most famous ("Scuse me while I kiss the sky", actually) was the most misinterpreted for years (Hendrix-Purple Haze).
@jamal49 never heard anybody mistake scuse me while i kiss the sky for "scuse me while i kiss this guy"...............that would just not be a cool lyric at all
@broc92592 There was a book some years ago with that very title "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" which detailed some of various misinterpretations of song lyrics over the years. Funny book, too. For a long time back in the day, I and others thought that's what Jimi sang and it didn't bother us. As for "not be a cool lyric", why not? Unless you got a prob with it. To each his/her own, I say. If it was the misunderstood lyric, it would be multo-cool. Life is too short.
the guitar sound on this is fantastic i have it on cd what a sound for shore it gets beter in the middle from 2 52 right upuntill the end it sounds so bluesey
Aw amazing, amazing!!!! My dad's got the exact same piece of vinyl. The very best Stones song EVER. Thanks for uploading :-) This has made my day. Yeah listen to that distinctive guitar sound
When I was a kid we heard this on the radio in late '63 or early '64 and couldn't believe it! We were used to Pat Boone and the like. Wow. Thanks for posting.
Best way to hear this instead of the poor cd reproduction ; could be louder recording though
