Love this story about the Stones. While on tour, drummer a Charlie Watts gets a message that “Mick wants to talk to the drummer” (or words to that effect). Charlie gets dressed, goes to Mick’s room, decks him! Knocks him to the floor, saying, “I’m not ‘your drummer’, if anything, you’re my singer!” and walks out. This story is confirmed true.

I'm sure someone has already said this but "Sticky Fingers" had an actual working zipper on the cover! Imagine hearing that a new Stones album was out and you go to the record store and see the zipper. It was crazy and sure, a little gimmicky, but everyone in there was going "IT REALLY WORKS!" I bought two, one to listen to and one to keep forever, and I still have both. One is well worn, almost worn out, and the other is still in the plastic wrap.

[@stevedamico5793]

Here's what Mick Taylor (Guitar) had to say about the recording..."Can't You Hear Me Knocking" ... is one of my favourites ... [The jam at the end] just happened by accident; that was never planned. Towards the end of the song I just felt like carrying on playing. Everybody was putting their instruments down, but the tape was still rolling and it sounded good, so everybody quickly picked up their instruments again and carried on playing. It just happened, and it was a one-take thing. A lot of people seem to really like that part.[1]..Then Keith Richards: The jam at the end wasn't inspired by Carlos Santana. We didn't even know they were still taping. We thought we'd finished. We were just rambling and they kept the tape rolling. I figured we'd just fade it off. It was only when we heard the playback that we realised, Oh, they kept it going. Basically we realised we had two bits of music. There's the song and there's the jam. [1] I saw a doc. on this and from what I recall it was recorded in Keith Richards cold concrete basement. Taylor, and Keys were at one end of this long basement, and the rest were at the other end.

[@markbuckley3661]

Apparently Bobby keys, puck up his sax, thinking to, it was over, and just started playing. To me, best stones song ever. And watching the live versions, gives me goose bumps.

[@cherylwoodward]

My favorite aspects of this song are Mick Taylor’s incredible playing and Charlie’s drumming. Keith takes such a back seat on this song but his licks really lend continuity to the other soloists.

[@danielcraig3987]

Wrong that’s Keith riffing Taylor underneath

[@josephvanalstyne4049]

keith does not take a back seat to anyone in this song! the song is built off the killer riff that dominates and fuses the song together.

[@cherylwoodward]

I hear you, but for me the riff Keith plays lays the background for Mick’s solo. It didn’t mean it was not important, but more the supporting role for Mick’s guitar work. The riff is definitely incredible and immediately recognizable.

For me, they are. I think they left the Beatles in the dust. But let's be fair most performers are different. For example, how do you compare this with something like Pink Floyd or Miles Davis Quintet totally different planets.

[@WDRhine]

An unjustly overlooked amazement by the Stones is "Moonlight Mile" - a song of pure sexual longing. The put away their endless killer guitar riffs and bring in an orchestral arrangement that somehow adds a patina of rawness instead of the usual saccharine quality that strings in rock songs usually provide. It is mysterious and delicate until it explodes. Y'know - like sex.

[@scottingram7634]

That's about as accurate a description of that song as you can give. Lots of sauce in that song.

[@WDRhine]

@@scottingram7634 Thanks. I've always wondered why that song doesn't get the attention it deserves. One of my favorite parts is the coda: the song seems over, just easing itself to a conclusion when it starts to gather intensity, building, building and then... one of the sweetest chords I've ever heard. Hope the boys check it out.

Great song, guys! Try The Rolling Stones "Jumping Jack Flash", it is a really good banger to hit up before you do "Sympathy for the Devil"

Jumpin Jack Flash story. Out comm site had cover music. They picked “the sound of music” sound tract. Played over and over again for at least three years. Tacked on to the end of the tape was “jumpin Jack Flash. Tape stretches over time, turning the soundtrack into a psychedelic horror story. This was the latest sixties, so many of us were altered in one way or another. We really didn’t need the help.

[@LeannWebb61]

Back in the day it was common to have the "Short Version" that was usually played on AM radio, and sold on 45 rpm single records. The FM stations were new on the scene at the time and they'd usually play the album cut, which was usually the long version. One local station would set aside Monday night as a time when they'd play an entire newly released album. I gotta say radio in the 70s was an awesome experience.

By this point in their career, the Rolling Stones had been everywhere and seen everything. The music on Sticky fingers reflected that.

[@mykicks]

Legendary sax player was Bobby Keys, a hillbilly Texan from Lubbock used to watch Buddy rehearse. He's literally played on hundreds of hit records, including some of the biggest records ever made, like Dion's "The Wanderer". He was with the Stones for years, but was on tons of other artists records as well. Some of the most famous tunes ever. You get to where you can recognize his playing. He didn't read music. Played by ear. There's a great documentary about him. Google him. Sort of infamous for being best friends with, and getting into lots of trouble with Keith Richards, including accidentally setting the Playboy Mansion on fire. He wrote a very entertaining book. He passed away a couple of years ago.

[@stuartalexander2657]

One thing that contributes to making you feel so good at the end of this song is how that jam that you're calling the "middle part" (which I think of as the "coda") wails away insistently in a minor key for three or four minutes, but then transitions from the minor to the major key for the last 8 bars, delivering a delicious resolution.

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" just gets better every time I hear it. How the jam section transitions from one theme to another is masterful and brilliant.

[@romariosouza3895]

Yeah, the second part of the song is so full of soul and its so groovy, beautiful. Very good song, and the sax in this, it’s lovely. You two said once that you liked “Paint it Black, see the version of the “Eric Burdon and War”, live at beat club 1970, it’s mind blowing...

[@MegalonJonesSlattery]

Stones: 'Tumbling Dice', 'Sway', 'Torn and Frayed', 'Heartbreaker', 'Monkey Man', 'Street Fighting Man', 'Emotional Rescue.'

[@Magravated]

For sure Sympathy for the Devil. Let's see if anyone wants to hear "Brown Sugar" ... ✌️

[@almoreno271]

Maggie Audiss hurry and do Brown Sugar before it gets “Cancelled” !!

[@kennethjimenez5185]

For RS songs neither of you have heard, perhaps “Angie”, “Miss You”, “Under My Thumb” or “”Brown Sugar”.

[@jesseregenauer630]

The second half of this song was an unplanned jam. They just happened to record it as the original plan was to end the song in the first half but they decided to keep going on the fly..... The entire song (both halves) is a singular masterpiece......

[@stuartalexander2657]

That final extended guitar solo.....played by, arguably, the finest guitarist the Stones ever had in their lineup: Mick Taylor.

[@sns2112]

Every song on Sticky Fingers is good IMO. And you know I'd love to hear Siberian Khatru by Yes.

[@Lightmane]

Close to the Edge first : )

[@sns2112]

CTTE is a must for sure.

[@FunkyMonk4Life]

This is one of those songs that always gets mentioned when discussing best riffs of all time.

[@zombywoof-0hNo]

Midnight Rambler live, from the album Get yer yaya's out. Perfect one to do next.

[@elfcounsul]

The intro to “honky Tonk Women” is one of the great guitar intro riffs. Supposedly it was borrowed from the great Ry Cooder.

[@scottythetrex5197]

Keith wrote the intro. It wasn't borrowed. He learned about open G tunings from Cooder.

[@elfcounsul]

@@scottythetrex5197 the late great Chet Atkins said “good writers borrow, great writers steal.” No musician can get anywhere without learning (borrowing) from others, same with writers.

[@jimearnest4342]

Alex and Andy,react to the Stones contribution to country..."the girl with far away eyes" killer tune!

[@FloridaManRacer]

I have that album's original release in my vinyl collection... The zipper on the cover is real lol.

[@jerrybarnett7234]

Could be wrong about this, I think they had to change the zipper because it was digging into the vinyl.

[@maryannanderson1744]

Cool fact

[@pizzainthebox3449]

I remember, at the record store, it was hard to find a copy where the cellophane wasn’t ripped over the zipper because people couldn’t resist trying to pull the zipper down.

[@neilpye6089]

@@jerrybarnett7234 they had to ship them unzipped because when they were zipped up they damaged the sleeves

[@scottgelb2650]

Still got mine too.

[@mrchrisk36]

One of my favorite Stones songs gotta listen to Wild Horses my wife's favorite

[@myratatano5187]

mrchrisk36 one of the best love songs EVER!

[@toshibautoob]

Now there ya go! Great choice! Next song, something completely different, Shattered.

[@dennissweeney6774]

That whole album ROCKS.

[@johnworthington8360]

1971 was a good time for Rock and Roll. So much good music for these cats to get off into. Thanks for the memories

[@alrivers2297]

Mother's Little Helper, Sympathy For the Devil, Miss You, Paint it Black all great Stones songs. They have many tho

[@keelsmac01]

Al Rivers mothers little helper...yep yep...those were the days. 🤓🤓🤓

[@mechelemanno1750]

Al Rivers miss you for sure

[@alexr1301]

They improvised that part. Didn’t know they were still recording and just played that.

[@keefmack]

One of my favorites I would suggest as the between song to react to would be “Bitch”

[@greggary7217]

Charlie Watts passed today - this is the first song I thought of. R.I.P. Gentleman Drummer.

[@SteveInTheOC]

One of the greatest jam sessions ever. 👍 perfection.

[@sarahzentexas]

Let’s hear THE banger from their best album-“TUMBLING DICE”-from Exile On Main St!!!

[@badbill296]

Or All Down the Line or Rocks Off or Rip this Joint.....

[@ZodsSnappedNeck]

Tumblin Dice is so fire. I listen to that anytime I'm feeling down.

[@riggymsu]

Greatest rock n roll song ever

[@eliasswift2921]

Rocks Off is the BIGGEST banger from that album. Also, Exile On Main Street is great but I like Let It Bleed more.

[@Sirala6]

Or Linda Ronstadt's version.

[@seanmuller5145]

This has always been my favorite Stones song. You mentioned Sympathy for the Devil. Try the live album from Get Your YaYa Out. It will blow your mind as well as Midnight Ramble.

[@andreaschmall5560]

My cousin has a rock band when this album was released. We stayed up all night to figure out the words to "Bitch" so that they could pay it at their gigs.

[@TheDonnalovesmusic]

Back in the day, this incredible song was played in its entirety on the radio - no short version!

[@thepaulhenderson]

The Stones, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, this is your birthright young pilgrims! Rock 'N' Roll, inhale deeply, travel back to the Platinum Age of music and film its all waiting for you to explore. Enjoy!

[@827dusty]

This is a great song, and one of my favorite Stones songs. I'm going to continue to ask you to react to "You Can't Always Get What You Want." It's in the top three of almost everyone I've asked over these many years. (I'm 64). Thanks guys

[@jaredwalker7900]

“Sympathy For The Devil”

[@hugsandhomies]

Absolutely, but I would steer them toward the live version from Get Yer Ya Yas out.

[@inprocessla174]

I recently heard this was inspired by Santana. The Stones were digging what Santana was doing at the time and wanted to do a song with a jam section. This is my absolute favorite Stones Song. Charlie Watts playing those featherlight touch rolls along with those occasional staccato accented beats take this song to the next level.

[@perniciousreaper4393]

The jam was never intended to be recorded. The vocals were just supposed to fade out and that would be the end of the song. Taylor and Keys wanted to jam afterward so the band jammed with them. The audio engineer left the tape recording by accident. When they finished, the band was so impressed with the jam, they lamented that they hadn't recorded it. And then the engineer said "wait a minute...we forgot to turn off the tape. We got it, guys!" The rest is history.

[@jimmiranda7181]

I've been a subscriber of your channel now for a few weeks. Your stoke is genuine and sincere. Keep posting. I've played in bands (drums but mostly congas, timbales and bongos) since high school (40 years and still playing gigs). You guys have posted many songs that we covered and your reactions to them is classic and f**king awesome! in the early 2000's we would often open a gig with this number to wake up the crowd of bar patrons. Why this one? Well, your reaction. Your ears perked and eyes wide open and posture says it all. How? So, in this piece and In regard to the time signature change, the tension they create en 4/4 in the beginning is released like a phoenix rising when it segues in to the instrumental en cut time 2/4. When you add the conga drums 4 bar solo phrase of which includes a 1 bar phrase of slaps and open tone 16th notes in the beginning, it sets up the groove for the sax and guitar solo improve into the climactic ending of the piece. The song was too long for traditional radio air play. However, they "The Stones" didn't give a shit. This song was an indulgent piece written from their sole and eventual would see air play on rock specific radio stations from the early 70's like 94.7 KMET and 95.5 KLOS here in So. Cal. and nationwide who filled that demographic of young listeners wanting to here what is now referred to as the "Classic Rock" genre. Keep it goin' guys! Diggin' the Channel!

[@daviddixon6408]

I was a junior in high school when this album was released in 1971. 1970s best music ever.
