Is this the funkiest stones song?ROLLING STONES FINGERPRINT FILE REACTION - First time hearing

[@demonsbutterfly]

Mick Taylor plays the Bass on this masterpiece. One of their best tracks ever written

[@Boatzilla2]

I love this line, "There's some little jerk in the FBI keeping papers on me 6 feet high." Times haven't changed much have they?

[@dreggymon]

This is so funky because Mick Taylor is playing the Bass. Their best guitarist goes out on his last album playing the funkiest Bass you can imagine. He is something special. Also, this version is sped up -the Japanese copy has it where it is a bit longer and taken down a few steps, so micks voice is deeper on that one. You can tell the difference by the song lengths. And the vocal sound.

[@barriehull7076]

Key ingredients of the song are the rhythm guitar played by Mick Jagger, which features heavy phasing due to the use of the MXR Phase 100 effects pedal, and the highly jazz/funk-oriented bass guitar played by Mick Taylor. Keith Richards uses the wah-wah pedal for his guitar part. Bill Wyman is on synthesiser, Charlie Watts on drums, Billy Preston on clavinet, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Charlie Jolly Kunjappu is featured on the tabla. The lyrics express frustration over government monitoring and surveillance activity.

[@NathanVeenstra]

The clavinet definitely adds a whole heap of funkiness to the track.

[@aquamarine99911]

Mick Jagger was an underrated guitarist. He wrote the riff for "Brown Sugar". And while Wyman was a good bassist, the best Stones' bass lines tended to be played by Mick Taylor or Keith. Even their most iconic bass line -- Miss You - was written by Billy Preston.

[@gkny4045]

Charlie Watts is so tight on this track, love his groove here, as always.

[@aquamarine99911]

Weird that haven't done this song live since 1975. To me it's their most underrated classic.

[@wkg55]

That's Mick Taylor on bass, Bill Wyman is on synthesizer, Jagger is on rhythm guitar Keith Richards is playing the wah guitar.

[@MrThumbs63]

Hot Stuff, 100 Years Ago, and Rocks Off are a few Stones songs that no one reacts too. Give 'em a listen. You have chosen songs well lately.

[@rachelpsmith3129]

Great songs. I might add Starfucker, personally. Song rocks.

@@1965JB I used to think GHS sucked. Now it sounds like the end and maybe even the consummation of the Stones' best run, from Beggars Banquet through Goats Head Soup. Winter alone makes the album worthwhile and there's so much more.

It's not Billy Wyman on bass here, but the great Mick Taylor.

[@barrycohen311]

These guys were way ahead of the curve. Playing funk in the early 70s. I can still remember the first time I heard "Hot Sfuff." Goat's Head Soup album I think. I was like what the hell is this? Then a few years later, many bands jumped on the funk bandwagon.

[@dagmar.6954]

I agree this doesn't sound much like Mick Jagger. This was recorded in 1974 & is one of their first attempts to branch out into dance or electronic music. The Rolling Stones are considered the bad boys of rock & roll. I grew up with their early stuff. My favorite era of The Rolling Stones is from the 60's British Invasion. I loved the "Flowers" album. They had a lot of great early hits such as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Get Off of My Cloud", "Paint It Black", "Ruby Tuesday", "Let's Spend the Night Together", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk Women", "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Gimme Shelter", "Tumbling Dice" & "Brown Sugar".

[@deeg8849]

Straight up, the Stones always were and always will be a black band at their core. Blues, soul, funk grooves

[@cletushouse906]

Somebody is giving you some good advice Harri. You just keep playing all the favorites. Great job.

There is 1 Mick Jagger and THAT is him..he talks alot in this song...I know his voice like the back of my hand!! You rarely see people on Amerian Idol even try Mick! A couple have tried and they really sucked...Mick can sing "hillbilly" too! A man of many voices and the best artist ever (imo)

Great deep track from thevStones . The greatest band ever. Thanks for your great reaction.

[@jbstonesfan]

Near the top. Hot Stuff, Slave, Dance Parts 1 and 2, Luxury, and obviously Miss You are some other great grooves. We Americans are forever grateful to England for what some of us think is the greatest rock and roll band ever . Although they are not "pop" or "heavy metal" enough to get hundreds and thousands of views, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and react.
