Hey Greatness Gang! I went back and listened to the official audio of Gimmie Shelter (much cleaner version). The lyrics are powerful! Especially Merry’s breakdown at the end.

[@colleentrygg7376]

The Stones have a huge catalogue of incredible music. After 60 years they are still selling out stadiums around the world . So yes , they are a big deal !

[@Micknkeithable]

There’s a reason The Stones are Mega-Famous GOATs

[@botlus4727]

The Rolling Stones started 1962, the year I was born. They are still there and absolute🔥. Just like Keith Richards once said: "there are people who know the sun the moon and the stones all their live" 😊

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Haha! ❤️

[@cheripetty1805]

Also a 1962 baby here. We've never known a World without The Rolling Stones! LUCKY US!!

[@starchild6478]

Yes Merry Clayton, the back up singer is an amazing black woman. The night she recorded the back up track, Mick came to her house to pick her up. She was pregnant and in her rollers, and night clothes, and went into the studio. 😁🤘❤️🎼 You can see her story and other amazing soul back up singers from that time in an awesome documentary called 20 Feet from Stardom!!!😁🤘❤️🎼

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks for sharing and recommending!

[@gaqread]

Gimme Shelter BTW was written after the Stones witnessed the near revolution that took place in May 1968 in Paris when students and workers took to the streets in protest. Jagger and Richards wrote the song about the dark and angry mood and their fears for the future effectively.

[@ARD-lk5pr]

Hot Rocks was a greatest hits comp released in the early 70s. The Stones carried on for decades and are about to release a brand new album in 2 weeks! They have 2 singles in the charts right now...even though they are around 80 years old. Merry Clayton added the powerhouse vocals to Gimme Shelter.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks for informing me on who she is! Merry’s voice is amazingly powerful

[@lynnhoffman247]

@@KingGreatnessKGShe was pregnant at the time, was called into the studio around 2am to do her backup vocals and miscarried the next day. 😢

[@sweisbrod6109]

It was released in 1969. It was big with the guys in Vietnam. So was Painted Black.

[@starchild6478]

The Rolling Stones were heavily influenced by the soul, blues, and R&B that preceded the them! 😁🤘❤️🎼

[@LMTino]

Paint It Black is hypnotic. I went to my first Stones concert sure I did not know their music, only the name. Foolish youth, right out of the gate I knew what I didn't know. On first listens, I find any band's lyric video a great place to start.

[@sjames1955]

The lyrics to Gimme Shelter are incredibly important. There is a lyric video similar to the one you watched for Paint It Black. The Stones are commonly known as the greatest rock band of all time. I don't know about that but they are integral to music history and still incredibly popular.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

I went back and listened to higher quality audio. The lyrics definitely are powerful!

[@gaqread]

My favourite band. Gimme Shelter is one of the most powerful recordings in popular music history, period. And Merry Clayton’s vocal is the highlight of the song, punctuated by Richards’ rhythm guitar, Jagger’s harmonica solo, and the groove that Watts and Wyman settle into on the drums and bass respectively. Fantastic. Paint It Black is also great obviously. These two songs give you a good sense of why the band has a bit of a reputation for darkness, which is part of their mystique. This is a good time groove band but one with a seriously dark and hard edge to it.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Merry blew me away!!

[@pablopinto4600]

Real music with real lyrics

[@GG-ox3oq]

If you listen to closely u can hear mick saying “whooooo” in the background after Merry hits that high note

[@KingGreatnessKG]

🔥

[@wslvingtsun6768]

The Vietnam War, these guys are bout to release a album. They're 80 years old and still kicking ass. They just dropped two singles, angry, and sweet sounds of heaven

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Adding to the list!

[@revjim123]

Merry Clayton should get the MVP for this one, one of my favorite vocals ever

[@ajruther67]

Sir Michael Philip Jagger (Mick Jagger) Yes, he has been knighted in 2003.

[@wslvingtsun6768]

Merry Clayton is the lady's name

[@einanderer2738]

Paint it Black: Quite a revolution in those days. Sitar (Brian Jones). Don’t miss the Bass at the end…

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Gotcha

[@ajruther67]

The song is about a lost love that died and the person only wants to see everything black because of their grief.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Wow 😔

[@Micknkeithable]

New album out now as 80 year olds. Hackney Diamonds. Angry Live By The Sword

[@ajruther67]

@Micknkeithable I know. It came out in October. Saw the Angry video in September. Concert next year July 13 at So Fi.

[@gaylemitchell5881]

Miss You ,Stones

[@joelslack2138]

Not a bad random choice of two Stones songs! 👍👍

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks Joel

[@wombatwilly1002]

Satisfaction,Start Me Up,Honky Tonk Woman,Brown Sugar! But to get the best vibe use the studio versions.

[@sweisbrod6109]

Oh, welcome to the '60s.

[@jana8599]

I always assumed this was about the deadly concert - the helicopter took them away.

[@lgot123]

The Vietnam War was going on during 60s & 70s and influenced a lot of the music

[@ajruther67]

You would have been better off to react to their "official" lyric video for Gimme Shelter like the lyric video for Paint it Black. Go back and find the lyric video for Gimme Shelter.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

I went back and listened to the official audio on streaming. Got it on repeat right now!

[@ajruther67]

@@KingGreatnessKG Excellent! I hope you have more of an understanding of the song!

[@jamestate5059]

You need to hear Holy Soldier and their version of Gimme Shelter. Blows away the original version

[@andrewbrennan7291]

Make Love Not War

[@KingGreatnessKG]

☮️ ❤️

[@gaqread]

And other songs you should check out include but are not limited to: Wild Horses, Tumbling Dice, Honky Tonk Women, Miss You, Jumpin’ Jack Flash and the brand new Sweet Sounds of Heaven.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks for the recommendations

[@ajruther67]

What's the big deal about the Rolling Stones? They are another awesome band from jolly ol' England!

[@troya2279]

Great songs! I think Sympathy for the Devil is my favorite from these guys

[@gaylemitchell5881]

Wild Horses and Angie

[@robertvaughn6646]

Paint It Black about death of a loved one

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks Robert

[@ajruther67]

The Rolling Stones formed in 1962 and they are still together and still touring. That album is a greatest hits album from that time. To date they have released 28 albums. The most recent album Hackney Diamonds was released this year with the newly released single, Angry. There is a music video out for Angry.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

28 albums!? 🤯 I’ll check out that video thanks

[@ajruther67]

@KingGreatnessKG Yes 28! 😁 The video was filmed in Hollywood down Sunset Blvd, where most of the places bands get their start in L.A. In the video, they made the billboards look as if they're moving of the Rolling Stones over the years.

[@ajruther67]

@KingGreatnessKG More than likely they will tour that moat recent album next year. If they do, I will definitely be there. I'm going to see KISS next month at the Hollywood Bowl. It is their LAST tour ending in New York where they started in 1973, 50 years ago! I live in Southern California in case you wanted to know. 😉

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Lucky you! That should be an amazing time. Adding KISS to my reaction list as well.

[@ajruther67]

@KingGreatnessKG You really should add KISS to your list. Just know that if you react to *I Was Made for Loving You* first, that is their one and only dance disco song. That isn't their usual hard rock sound. Some rock bands in 70's jumped on the disco wagon and would release one disco song. Blondie did it. Rod Stewart did it. Know that KISS is hard rock and that you should *ALWAYS* watch a live version because they are the ones who started having pyrotechnics in their shows back in the 70's.

[@thewizard6077]

The Rolling Stones just released a brand new album a couple weeks ago. The Rolling Stones newest single is called "Sweet Sounds Of Heaven" and was released 5 days ago. The song also features Lady Gaga & Stevie Wonder. I recommend doing a reaction to that song, but first, please do a reaction to the official audio version of the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil". And also, at some point, please do a reaction to the studio recording of Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You". Peace

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Gaga and Stevie? 👀 interesting combo! It says the album release date is Oct 20

[@thewizard6077]

​@@KingGreatnessKG Oh, I thought they released it already. I know they released 2 songs off of the album. This is the link to the song I was talking about: that was released 5 days ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3atlWiuqcd4hrs And here's the link to "Sympathy for the Devil", released in 1968. Please check this one out first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjRdJ-orZ2BaM0

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Great song (Gimme Shelter) …..ridiculous video. Studio or live much better. Well….this was late 60’s. What war do you think might have been going on? PS: Ah….glad you listened to the studio version! Powerful song. Merry’s singing on this song has become absolutely iconic. You should see it live…….

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Vietnam War? 👀

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

@@KingGreatnessKGyou got it! ✌️☮️

[@johng.8517]

Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Added!

[@johnniekight1879]

You can hear the vocals better on the Stereo version. Merry Clayton was the babe. It's about his girlfriend dying. Gotta check out "Sympathy For The Devil" & "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'". Their new album comes out next week.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Stay tuned Johnnie

[@einanderer2738]

Don’t think of a single song. Choose Let it Bleed (Gimme Shelter is part of it), Beggar’s Banquet and Exile on Main Street.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

Thanks for your recommendation.

[@jackempson3044]

The vocals are set back in the song but this mix they're set back even further. They ARE hard to hear.

[@larryleyba6496]

You should have hit Gimme Shelter Lyrics. Sympathy for the Devil is the natural next song to explore. Make sure you hit up the lyrics and when you get a chance check out the lyric video for Gimme shelter. The lyrics of this band was amazing at the time. They just dropped one a little over a week ago with Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder playing piano called Sweet Sound of Heaven. Has a gospel sound and worth the time to check out. again lyrics and do the long version (7 minutes). It is the best song they have dropped in about 30 years. They are still putting out new music. A few years ago they played live in front of over one million people in South America. There is a video. Thes cats have been rocking since 1962. There are only two original member of the band from the original line up. Keith Richards and Mickk Jagger. The original Drummer recently passed away, Charlie Watts was over 80 years old and was still playing with the band until the end.

[@KingGreatnessKG]

I went back and re listened and read the lyrics, powerful! Thanks
