My New FAVORITE Rolling Stones Song | Andy & Alex FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@Shadowrider1872]

GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY! ☮️💟♾️

[@jailnurse]

This is peak Stones. Absolutely fantastic song

[@KimLong-v4i]

No way!

[@abelincoln3287]

Alex, check out "Angie" and "She's a rainbow", both are unique and different than their average song.

[@eileendobbs8009]

Angie is one of my favorite ballads

[@AuroraAlexanderAngel]

My Dad named me Angie after this song ❤️

[@valelavidavivir5842]

@@abelincoln3287 They are both good songs. I love She's a Rainbow and when Angie came out it was so different, I thought it was Joe Cocker or someone other than Mick.

[@bomagosh1252]

Yeah, Angie is a completely different side of the stones. I'd also toss out As Tears Go By as another brilliant Stones ballad.

[@choos6919]

She's a Rainbow is one of the prettiest songs of the era ...

[@jasonfournet180]

I'm a Keith Richards guy, but Mick Taylor's contributions were invaluable.

[@garybalranald6323]

The absolute quality that the Stones deliver is unbelievable. That little Billy Preston fill after "needle in her arm". It's all those small things that make the story come alive.

[@BuddyAkin478]

It puts you right there, in that alley way, and also somehow sounds like the crystalline prick of a needle expressed musically. Love that attention to detail.

[@susanfontaine5214]

When I Stones in 70’s Billy Preston opened for Stones. Amazing show!!!😊

[@CaptainCowboy476]

So many people have not heard this song. This whole album is fantastic

[@cmfranklin1079]

Goosebumps everywhere....That's when you know for sure that what you are listening to is fucking awesome.

[@HockeyDudeJames2]

Or making funny faces and not worrying about it lol.

[@evanpenn1]

I haven't heard this song in years. Forgot how good it is.

[@gliebzeit]

Yes, this is an incredible Stones rocker! I personally love the horn sections!! Thanks for your reaction video ... and I am sending wishes of healing to Andy.

[@joshb23]

Straight FIRE from the incomparable Stones!!!

[@KaraMiss1974]

Oh man! Dead Flowers is my favorite Stones song. It doesn't get as much love as it should. I'm so glad you recognize its brilliance! ❤

[@classic-kool]

The genius of the Stone's music is they dive right into the darkest of life situations and fearlessly put it to a funky beat, some super cool guitar riffs, while Mick Jagger confidently assumes the roll of the Pied Piper, putting his audience in a trance as they allow this incredible music to touch their souls..... It's a formula they've been using for more than 60 years‼️

[@patriciagoodwin1922]

I remember hearing this song for the first time and thinking how different it was from the Stones usual stuff, I absolutely love it. The changes throughout the song take you on an emotional ride for sure. Thank you for taking me back to that time because it was such a cool time for music. Take care friend, big hugs to you and Andy✨✨✨✨✨🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@RobertaSirgutz]

So few people react to this brilliant, timeless song. It's in my top 10 Stones songs. About this time, that band refused to have NYC police do security at their shows.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I agree with you, this is such a fantastic song in so many ways. And along with all the other ear candy, I really really love that bass guitar line as well, especially some of the fills that he's doing closer to the end. ❤

[@tedjung3700]

An awesome Stones cut that I have not heard for years! Thanks for the reminder of how great they are.

[@InDoLence13]

Thank you. Bought this as a fresh release as one of my "First 25" way back when I first started a record collection so it has sentimental value for me as well. I love how they came off a great run of records with this little coda to that period. Typical Stones rockers like Star Star and Heartbreaker mixed with introspective songs like Coming Down Again and Winter. The Stones at the top of their game. Thanks again.

[@bretkaiser7355]

WOW. Probably 30 years since I heard this. THANK YOU!

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

Man Alex .. tons of great points here. I could tell how worked up u were.. exciting to watch that. Very happy you found this one to be what it is. Best reactions to a Rolling Stones song I've seen. I concur with the 'S'. I also love where the guitar solos briefly, that adds more emotional song connection for me. It's just the right notes/tones at those precise moments necessary. Of course the Stones have been my #2 band for most of life anyway. Man I tell u, thank goodness they have such a huge catalog. The discovery period for the Stones will take a long while u learn to appreciate & love them even more. Say hi to Andy, hugs ❣️ Hope he's getting things sorted out. Andy if ur looking in & see this .. we love ya man & hugely miss u💓 HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO U BOTH .. CHEERS GENTS 🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼🥃🤘🏼🙂🦃

[@mindigd]

Goats Head Soup is such an under-rated Stones album.

[@SteveMenardDesignDXM]

The Mick Taylor period (1969-1974) was definitely the Rolling Stones best.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Is it, though? As a recording band, Beggars Banquet was still in the Brian era, and Let It Bleed was more or less complete before Taylor’s membership. Those two albums are leaps and bounds better than Goats Head Soup and It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll. What he did do was add dynamism to their live shows and enhance their prowess as a touring act.

[@SteveMenardDesignDXM]

@@fuchsiaswing8545 Valid points, but I still think that Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street, Goat's Head Soup, and It's Only Rock'n Roll are their strongest string of consecutive albums. Let It Bleed is in their top three overall, though I'm not quite as enamoured with Beggars' Banquet. I admit that ranking periods or albums is very subjective, and I do tend to lean towards the Mick Taylor period because I really like "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'", "Time Waits For No One", "Heartbreaker", and It's Only Rock'n Roll".

[@classiclife7204]

This song needs to be rediscovered, quickly

[@davidrust7397]

If you haven't listened to the Stones "Monkey Man", gotta do it. What a vibe !!

[@johnrogan9729]

Oh my God yes. Amazing song.

[@stephentierney9266]

Stones owned this kind of groove. So much going on in this one ❤

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

The Stones have so many hidden Gems.

[@robertbryant414]

This right here is the magic. Alex, you can carry this channel by yourself. You have the charisma and the talent to be very successful. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm a huge fan. Great review, by the way !!!!

[@auerstadt06]

My favorite from Goat's Head Soup is Winter. So beautiful.

[@alan73795]

Next Stones: "Honky Tonk Women". Iconic non-album single from the Let It Bleed sessions. Beats out "Don't Fear The Reaper" for use of cowbell by a mile. Over the years, the song has become a staple of their live shows. Original single version can be found on several greatest hits collections, the first one being Through The Past Darkly and later on the double-LP release Hot Rocks. There's an alternate "countryfied" version called "Country Honk" that was included on Let It Bleed, but with different lyrics and musical approach. "Honky Tonk Women" was also one of the first tracks to feature their new lead/slide guitarist Mick Taylor.

[@SummerRain-n5u]

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is probably my favorite 'Stones song, but this song is from my favorite 'Stones album (Goats Head Soup) and I don't think it's necessarily one of their more popular records. This is my favorite era for the 'Stones. Mick Taylor is the best guitar player they ever had (in my opinion). Keith is more famous and he's great, too, but Mick Taylor rocked. "Dead Flowers" is one of my favorites as well, I agree with you, Alex, and that's the same era.

[@nkley1]

Just saw them do this outstanding song live in 2024. It was amazing .

[@horsebydayartbynight]

Love your excitement and your analysis! I'm in full agreement. Thank you for continuing the channel to discover the best of the past, and love to Andy!

[@paulroberts1000]

goose bumps every where.... yep!

[@Songbird-59]

I LOVE Dead Flowers - that may be my favorite, but that's hard to decide.

[@MM-xz5ig]

So glad you picked this one! It’s one of my favorite Stones songs, too. Not many reactors do it. Great reaction!

[@johngalt5411]

Been listening to the Stones my entire life but only just recently discovered a deep album gem called She Smiled Sweetly. GHS was my first Stones album when it was released back in the day. Oh how I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again!

[@johnfry2591]

Top five in my personal favorite Stones songs.

[@greigclement9081]

I love how the Stones transitioned into the 70s. It started with the infamous "Exile on Main Street " album. Inspiration and drugs were flowing....

[@162berto]

From the first time I heard it this was The Rolling Stones song for me Being a African American 12yr old living in the inner city when this came out I felt like the Stones were telling our story to their fans And I felt they were on our side Because we we’re trying to tell the country our Civil rights were being violated by cops since the end of Reconstruction But as the Comedian Richard Pryor said back then “ you tell white folks the Cops are beating our @&$ and they go Oh those beatings those people were resisting arrest” In other words we were never believed that police in every major city around the country Police brutality was a constant thing they got away with because no one would take our words over theirs And crazy enough I had almost had forgotten about the song and then the George Floyd Murder happened and a local college radio station I listened to put it on the day after the George Floyd video went viral and I was elated and heartbroken at the same time Because what was true back then as a 12yr old was still true all those years later!!!

[@purplenewbalance]

Greatest Rock and Roll band in the world.

[@sallybannister6224]

Don't think they've ever done a bad one . Every song is unique and different., Micks voice is soooo much a one off, never could be copied.. They are legends ❤

[@chazblitz]

Yeah, they've done some bad ones. Few and far between, but they've got a few stinkers. Miss You is the worst fucking song ever played on rock radio. But they still have a pretty high batting average.

[@sallybannister6224]

​@chazblitz Yeah, .... OK, you are right, ... 👍🏻

[@catbug6328]

great reaction alex, so into it.

[@dmb70]

S all the way! The Mick Taylor era of the Stones, 69-74, is one classic album after another. If you aren’t familiar with it but check out the live version of Dead Flowers from the concert film Ladies and Gentlemen , The Rolling Stones. Best version of it ever!

[@lynnegunn2425]

Classic Stones ❤❤❤❤

[@BowdenSpace]

You’re doing great. Straight up good post bro.

[@JodyLynzzz]

Thank you so much Alex ❤

[@freedomisall5620]

Great reaction to a great track from a great album. Love it all but 'Winter' is a real and unique trip.

[@cherylwoodward]

Top 10 if not top 5 Stones song for me. Again, the magical Mick Taylor era with Billy Preston on keys.

[@faithnyou1732]

"Goats Head Soup", easily their BEST album IMHO, and worth reacting to! Thanks for a great reaction, Alex! ✌💙✌

[@cmfranklin1079]

I second this opinion.

[@damonhines8187]

Great effing reaction, Alex!! Yeah, it's a monster of a song, hard-hitting and visceral, impassioned and immediate. Right in your face. Cheers, bro. A++ for me. 🤷🏽 ✊🏼😀🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@evangeline3152]

Great song! I saw the stones in New Orleans back in the 80’s and I didn’t want to listen to anything else for awhile. They were fantastic. I was so young then and now I feel so old and those guys are still doing it. How???😂

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

…..great breakdown ! When the music made you feel the lyrics ! “Greatest Rock & Roll Band”

[@chrisjaybecker4395]

I bought this LP brand when it dropped, I was 14 or 15 and mostly into Alice Cooper, Bowie, T-Rex, and Zeppelin, but this song grabbed me. It was the start of the Stones NYC period which would culminate with Some Girls a few albums later.

[@tracy-c7n6f]

Thanks for your reaction. Been a while since I've heard .

[@Mike-ky9jz]

About damn time you hit this one..... definitely one of their greatest songs.🤘😎

[@demonsbutterfly]

Goats Head Soup is a masterpiece It is criminally underrated. It is just as good as the previous 4 albums All the songs are fantastic. Play Heartbreaker through big Speakers….

[@Reani71]

great choice, one of my Stones favorites as well

[@photographerjonathan]

S all the way. It's always been one of my favorite Stones songs. One of the many songs I suggested long ago on this channel before I stopped bothering to suggest songs.

[@richmuckey6827]

Great reaction!

[@sallydwyer2735]

This is what you want to feel when listening to a masterpiece...goosebumps all over..

[@kellylostaglia40]

I love the stank face, so much! Awesome reaction

[@timpafundi6321]

It’s a Top 10 Stones song for me

[@waynesmith7410]

Angie, and, Daddy you're a fool to cry, both are Jagger without the swagger and sooooo good!

[@ginaabernathy7419]

Classic banger. Subject matter makes for an emotional song. Covers all the bases for sure. S tier all the way!! ❤❤❤

[@doncapito3465]

Love this album so much every song.Listen to 100 years ago .Great song great guitar solo from mick Taylor

[@djd2819]

The Stones peaked between 1968 and 1972 once they got "Satanic Majesties" out of the way and every one of their albums in that period was just dynamic. While Heartbreaker is easily one of my favourite Stones songs, my favourite of their albums remains "Let It Bleed". It's reactions like this that have me subscribe here and Patreon. Alex - it definitely is an S.

[@acb9231]

Great tune! Check out “Stray Cat Blues,” released in 68. ✌️

[@Jane-d4w]

Greatest Bands In The World IMHO. (I know, Beatles. I've ALWAYS BEEN a Stones girl. Their brilliance is undeniable. And, they're just more to my taste. 😁🤘😎❤️

[@FrankOdonnell-ej3hd]

This is the one band I want to see live before we all kick over the bucket⚛️❤

[@sammcbride2149]

I forgot all about this song. Amazing.

[@robbiesanford351]

Great job Alex, my favorite Stones tune as well!!! That whole album is excellent!

[@MikeD_]

Peak Stones, on lyrics, thoughts, energy, musicians, vocals, and that's saying a lot.

[@jeffreyboyer3714]

Good choice. This is my favorite song on GHS.

[@sherryheim5504]

Great song and Mick really kills this one live.

[@SuperCommando60]

love this song. not so much a Stones fan, back in the day I was more about peace and love than anger and strife, but when i want to feel dark, this kicks it. smooth, tight guitar. perfect rock song, sexy, spooky, emotional

[@BF2021-kf8xz]

been an obsessed fan since '89 and always loved that song. Got to see it live in Cleveland this summer.

[@donalddixoninlou]

Forgot about this one!! They played the heck out of this one on the radio! Great Song! (Nice rating as well.....)

[@tommathews3964]

Insight on this tune is spot on! Not warm and fuzzy at all! Always thought it was a great, underrated track! (Possibly due to that heavy subject matter) I’ll give you another great, quirky, Stones track hiding in the bushes: “Dear Doctor” . Fun, quirky romp with a dark side as well. Think about what was popular in 68 at the time of its release…it sure wasn’t pure country honk, which is another reason I’ve loved it since 68!! The Stones were fearless!

[@DougCaffey]

We all know how long the Stones have been together. We all know that they will tour when they’re 100! What a lot of people don’t know is how brilliant they are musically. You name the genre and the Stones have unlimited phenomenal songs. This song is not only a powerful hard hitting story, it’s also a kickass hard driving rock and roll song. Such a creative force decade after decade. We could take a month vacation and listen to a great song 24 hours a day and still not hear all of em! ❤❤❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@ws3764]

Im 67 and it took these reaction channels for me to finally and truly appreciate just how great the Stones are.

[@thirdbase6870]

I'm 79 and it took this reaction channel for me to finally and truly appreciate just how great this tune is. Thought the Stones magic was gone by this time.

[@KimLong-v4i]

This is not one of the Stones goid songs. Geez. Come on. You don't get the Stones at all.

[@KimLong-v4i]

​@@thirdbase6870yeah the magic was gone by this album. This song is just an okay song any band could have not. Not like the old Stones. If this guy lives this song I think he's off..

[@timwilson9900]

​@@KimLong-v4i I respectly disagree.

[@kevinmorrell4155]

Hadn’t heard that song in awhile. Pure 🔥‼️ The vocals, the harmonies. That’s a tune regardless of what genre you like, you have to like it. Right on man… thanks for playing it

[@dalecrowe7757]

One of my favorites purely for the New York vibe and the funky wah pedal. 100 Years Ago is still one of my favorites, not much flash just pure talent and lyricism. Call me Lazybones!

[@btpuppy2]

Glad you finally hit it. It’s one of my favorites.. now onto Bitch, Mannish Boy, If I Was A Dancer part 1, and Slave. You will love Bitch!

[@supadupabianc]

Big love to andy too missing him loads x hope hes getting better x

[@Boatzilla2]

Fantastic reaction. You crushed it.

[@andyandalex]

Appreciate it! 😄

[@jmleyland]

They played this when I saw them at MetLife Stadium in May and it freakin’ rocked! 🔥

[@GTRxMan]

I agree with you on this one. The way they weave the dark subject matter into the up-tempo music is fantastic. If you haven't hit Angie yet (from the same album), you need to. To my mind, it is one of the best ballads ever recorded.

[@GuitarGears4544]

The Stones is such a deep, long subject. For me they were the perfect band for a young guy in his 20's, which is exactly when I "discovered" them. Some personal favs-- Hand of Fate, and Fool to Cry off Black and Blue, Moonlight Mile off Sticky Fingers, Shine a Light and Let It Loose off Exiles on Main Street, Monkey Man and You Got the Silver off Let It Bleed, Moon is Up and Thru and Thru from Voodoo Lounge, Already Over Me from Voodoo Lounge. Well, clearly I could go on and on-- there's a lot to discover.

[@riffmondo9733]

This one is a great one. Love this tune.

[@erictownsend8870]

Yeah wow love this song. So expressive. I actually love this album among the top Rolling Stones, although not normally that acclaimed it seems.

[@bonzo1971]

Charlie Watts swings here..just perfect. So many great songs..incredible legacy, though it may be time for them to hang it up.

[@danhurd9864]

Saw them this year…still good

[@soapytiger]

I feel like there is some influence on this track coming from the soul music at the time, specifically from Bobby Womack and Isaac Hayes. It's a fantastic track, S well deserved.

[@evanpenn1]

Great job Alex. We miss you Andy, if you are reading comments. Hope you are well.

[@joelhahn2501]

There are _so many_ great Stones songs you should react to on the channel. Here are some: * 19th Nervous Breakdown * 2000 Light Years from Home * Ain't To Proud To Beg * Angie * Beast of Burden * Emotional Rescue * Fool to Cry * Get Off Of My Cloud * Harlem Shuffle * Heart of Stone * Jumpin' Jack Flash * The Last Time * Let's Spend the Night Together * Miss You * Mother's Little Helper * Paint It, Black * Respectable * Ruby Tuesday * Route 66 * Shattered * She's a Rainbow * She's So Cold * Time Is On My Side * Under My Thumb * Waiting On A Friend

[@shirleyhinderliter4900]

I have to agree with your rating. This has always been one of my favorites.

[@Deyan_B_Travels]

The whole album is amazing.

[@buckdraper303]

Once acquired, the Rolling Stones are a band that stays with you for life.

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

At 71 I totally agree with you. Never gets old. Or do they !!

[@nyrocks5580]

Agreed on all points and a shout-out must be given to Billy Preston on clavinet, in particular, but also the other fine musicians Bobby Keys, Jim Horn, and Jim Price who joined The Rolling Stones for this song.

[@jvsmith7888]

This song was a pretty big hit in 1973-74 but has become a forgotten hit today. It was the follow-up to Angie.

[@L1b3rty76]

This one is really fantastic. It is put together and expressed so well!

[@jameskirschling7887]

This is one of the Stones best songs. The lyrics and vocals definitely grab you. I would still love to see A&A"s reaction to Rip This Joint. Please say hello to Andy for me.
