God everything about this song is so perfect...Keith’s guitar lick, Mick’s haunting wailing harmonica, Merry Clayton’s howling “Rape! Murder!” so passionately her voice cracks (and you can hear Mick react “whoa!” to it), the apocalyptic lyrics. Rock has never come closer to perfection in a single song.

Not only are you correct but the point needs to be made that in concert with this song, without Merry Clayton, the guitar work is still superior but the song itself is less iconic. Her gospel background, with proper breathing, is required to deliver one of the most chilling vocals of all time. Bless Merry Clayton.

Keith Richard’s guitar intro is haunting, and sets up the whole vibe. And Merry Clayton was so incredible on this song. Her vocal performance is simply stunning. If you listen to her refrain after the solo section, on the third “rape, murder”, on the word “murder”, you can hear her voice break in an exquisitely painful and gorgeous way... and in the background, you can hear Mick Jagger shout “Woo!” in affirmation that he loved it. Gimme Shelter is one of my favorite Stones tracks... it may even be THE favorite.

Just a classic Rock n Roll song, possibly the best ever done. Mary Clayton gives the performance of a life time. Jagger said in an interview that he had goose bumps the whole time she was singing her parts. Clayton and Jagger dragging the best from each other, Richards haunting guitar work, Watts & Wyman laying down their usual great percussion and bass work and the over looked piano playing of Nicky Hopkins make this one of the classics.

This song has the best intro to a rock song imo, with the possible exception of Led Zep's 'When the Levee Breaks'. They're both spine-tingling stuff.

Rolling Stones- "Can't you hear me knocking". That song has a good mix of blues and jazz with a classic guitar riff.

Jamel, a big part of the passion and turmoil, was the ongoing war in Nam. EVERY week the TV N ews would roll the names of all the hundred or more young men killed in battle, Imagine how it felt to watch hundreds of names of guys just like us that were killed in their youth slowly scrolling upward on your screen..every week over and over for yea rafter year. Each young man responded in different ways to the draft that saw you as a mere pawn in the chess game of war. Behind the music of this era was an overall sense of rebellion against the war, and more. 'Gimmie Shelter' fit into the times perfectly. I'm speaking from experience....

Robert Accomero, I hope that you have achieved peace within you for the horrors that you experienced during that time. I will never forget being at my next door neighbor's home when the taxi driver arrived with the telegram that their son had been killed in Vietnam. No one from the military came to tell the family My neighbor's son was a helicopter pilot that took his buddy's mission as he had already done his for the day. A sniper shot him through his neck. That telegram is what made the Vietnam War real for me. This song haunting notes tells the story of our world at the time. Robert, thank you for your service.

@tompaul25914 жыл бұрын
What a great way to say a terrible thing. People have conditioned themselves. Sad isnt it? I used the word accepted. Very few people have expanded, gone back on their roots. I started on the Beatles and Stones. They kept mentioning this Chuck Berry guy so I checked him out. Then I had to ask my mom about Little Richard and Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochrane and Carl Perkins. who are these guys? I went back to them. Then back to Robert Johnson and Willie Dixon. I always heard Glenn Miller and big band because my parents loved it. Variety is the spice of.life. yes I have ZZ Top and black sabbath and deep purple but I have the Carpenters the Bee Gees Barry Manilow and CCR and Glenn Miller and Chuck Mangione and john Coltrane and Johnny Cash etc etc etc. Expnd your mind and you'll never be bored.
