AMAZING!! 🎵 The Rolling Stones - Shattered REACTION

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

"Shattered" is UK slang for being extremely tired. The song is basically about the wild, crazy life of New York City in the 70s. Just being there made them feel tired all over.

[@leetroy3129]

Cool. I never knew that.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

Yeah New York was definitely in tatters in the 70's!! The city was in debt up to it's ears crime ran rampit and there was garbage piling up all over the streets cause the city didn't have the money to pay the police departments and the sanitation crews. It was a wicked mess for sure!!

[@crockwell1966]

Wow...thanks Mark! First time hearing that regarding the slang...and I was in Middle School when "Some Girls" was released. Better later then never for the knowledge😁

Charlie Watts on the drums was the king of ghost notes that sounds simple but is very difficult to replicate. Great observation Brad!

[@Dooklawz]

Brad is spot on.... lay down a sick simple beat, and the rest takes care of itself with good writing and vocal delivery....love this song....

[@anthonypowell6234]

Yes indeed. I have always loved Led Zeppelin and the Stones. My singing voice is more like Robert Plant than anyone else, and I took my drumming style directly from John Bonham. Only when I veered into playing live with a band that had a more Stones feel did I realize that their style of simple is a bitch to emulate well. Bonham and Watts were certainly kings of groove and feel!

[@petertuplin7759]

Their going to really miss Charlie on drums.😞RIP

[@auralfixxation6702]

People like to rag on the Stones, but, they were not afraid to be weird at times and that is what makes them great. This is actually a different type of release for them and the first single was MISS YOU, which is great too.

“Start Me Up” the first track on The Rolling Stones album ‘Tattoo You’ 1981. Another Great up beat song.

[@jkbezo1]

Rolling Stones with a little disco, punk rock tune into their music as the late '70s were just entering into the '80s. Great song! These kids dig the music! jaja Fun and silly.

[@larryleyba6496]

When I was a kid my buddies and I were rocking to this song and one of my crazy buds started dancing drunk and fell into my parents glass coffee table and completely SHATTERED it!

[@mikecaetano]

The Rolling Stones dropped their Some Girls album in 1978 and it quickly zoomed to number one in the charts worldwide. "Shattered", "Beast of Burden", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" -- yes they covered The Temptations classic -- and "Miss You" -- another ode to New York City. When you check out "Miss You" -- I say when because that's one you must check out -- be sure to listen to the full length album version -- with the saxophone solo -- instead of the truncated shorter version. The album version is four minutes forty eight seconds long, so you'll know you've got the right version if it clocks in at that duration.

[@Itelkner]

Let's hear it for Keith's awesome guitar sound on this one! Groovy as hell.

[@_MOORE_1986]

Don't think I've seen Brad so happy! "Shes So Cold" is another great one by them to check out.

The Stones play in a number of styles. I love their country side. Sweet Virginia, Far Away Eyes, Dead Flowers. And for guitar songs, try Can” t You Hear me Knocking or Time Waits for No One, (Mick Taylor - peak stones era) no offense to Brian or Ronnie.

[@ArmandoMPR]

It’s very hard to track down, but the Faces did a live version of “I’d Rather Go Blind” that appears in the Five Guys Walk into a Bar… box set where Ronnie plays a solo that knocked me off my feet. Look for it if you can!

[@glennburch1081]

From their highly successful "Some Girls" record (1978). They even have a country tune on that record called "Far Away Eyes" that is a hoot. I love the Rolling Stones. If you like hard gritty blues check out their "Black and Blue" record, in particular "Hey Negrita". Great reaction, TY.

[@hollywoodpotato5289]

The video of Hey Negrita is tops! They may have been tanked up on substances when they made that video performance. Mick Jagger and Billy Preston are quite the combo.

It's an ode to the glorious grimy, crime-ridden late 70s New York. Nothing “goofy” about it. Some Girls embodies the disco sleaze and gritty punk of NYC’s music scene, from Studio 54 to CBGB. You would love the album, which was viewed as a “comeback” record for the Stones.

[@NuCkInFuTs1]

It was crime ridden because the city was in debt up to their ears and they couldn't afford to pay the police departments and there was garbage littered all over the streets because they also couldn't afford to pay the sanitation crews!! Lol

The secret to the Stones longevity is their ability to adapt...to change with the times and somehow still remain valid. Their musical catalog is immense...filled with dozens of number one hits. 🙂

Now this is late Stones from 1978. I always felt that this was Mick Jagger's take on punk music. I know y'all have reacted to most of the Stones' classic songs from the 60s and early 70s. But their best late songs need a listen: "Miss You" and "Start Me Up" are the two you've got to check out.

[@johnvolume3384]

I agree with the punk influence.The late 70's Rolling Stones played a lot of uptempo stuff,Where the boys go,Let me go,respectable and so on.

[@wadsworthaaron]

"Shattered" is a great track by the Stones, but it's compressed, frenetic sound is clearly reflective of their cocaine use during that period. Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman set the groove for the rest of the guys.

[@TJ-id6ee]

Those wild Studio 54 days..

[@tdali8347]

"Schmatte" is a Yiddish word for "rags". In modern times, it refers to the New York garment district. The importance of the place was put front and center in reality shows like Project Runway, RuPaul's Drag Race, and America's Top Model.

[@warmongerel9743]

This album came out when I was 12 years old and, overnight, I went from bubblegum-pop to listening to real rock and roll. It really did change my life.

[@neilknight3794]

[@jimh.7575]

The lyrics are a bleak picture of life in New York City. The Stones always had a love/hate relationship with the US, and Mick Jagger's lyrics were often influenced by his thoughts on the country (see "Satisfaction"). New York in particular is a place where you could be wildly successful, but is also a city filled crime, drugs, and poverty. It should be noted that The Stones have taken shots at their home country of England as well, notably on "Hang Fire."

[@gregfagan199]

If you like an acoustic with just a voice you should watch Steve Winwood sitting by a fireplace with his guitar on his lap and singing "Can't Find My Way Home". It's exquisite.
