Gimme shelter has the best intro of any song. Gives me goosebumps every time. Great performance! Makes me want to go and practice..

[@davidyonaki2365]

I agree

[@11papangkornwannakhorn23]

i dont think it is but it is rolling stones,cool band

[@benbarclay5546]

Original was with Tremolo turned up to 11, don't forget...

yah i mean i like this better than ANY of the beatles songs! lol

Best tease ever. Please do a full version! Your touch on those leads is so killer

[@mavcomart]

Absolutely love the way new, young and great talents, like yourself, are breathing new life into these timeless classics. Bravo!

[@LesCish]

Great cover of a great song. Gives me chills- I was teenager when it came out, remember the violence and upheaval of that era. I wish we'd learned the obvious anti-war message of the time. Thank you.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

No society learns from its mistakes. Too much human nature involved. Just as styles come around again...so does war. Sad but true. Sniff...

[@wdaub]

I'm 69 years old and this is still the Best Rock And Roll song ever. Now I finally know how it's played. GREAT JOB!

[@davidjefferson8091]

I so concur with your comment.

That’s for sure haha Gimmie Shelter is the greatest rock song ever in my opinion.

[@coversbymark1379]

As a longtime Stones aficionado who considers that one of the greatest intros of all time and goes back and forth between Gimme Shelter and Jumping Jack Flash as the greatest rock song of all time and who rarely hears a Stones cover that captures my attention, let me just say that I absolutely loved that!

[@eduardoguinda1431]

The whirring, violin-like effect in the beginning and end is lovely. And of course, it's a pleasure watching a young French rocker give Keith Richards a run for his money.

Five star performance. That is talent and art dedication.

[@kedgwell]

Awesome work from a talented player, made all the more impressive by her holding down multiple guitar parts, plus bass, and reimagining it while being faithful to the original.

[@CritterFritter]

When I close my eyes, I hear Clapton jamming, which is a very good thing. Very refreshing. Thank you so much Ms. Laura!

[@PeteAndrews]

I remember the 1st time I saw them do that in Cleveland during the Sticky Fingers Tour.... You gave me goose bumps. Thanks

[@mechanicalmisadventures]

Found this, this morning and have listened to it about 20 times. Theres some face melting bends in there. I freaking love it🤘

couldn't agree more, I just found this very talented young lady, I'm definitely hooked, just loving the music of my era :)

[@jonnimbus5671]

Laura deserves a chance to step on stage with the boys on this one. Outstanding ..

[@joshable337]

She was having FUN, and huge talent!!!

[@Charleston_SC]

Yes I was a Stones freak in the 60's. Yes this takes me back. The Stones music hit hard. They really had no competition. No one was in their league. I remember the day the album "Get your Ya Ya's out" was released. The Stones had a HUGE influence on the music scene

[@commenter9303]

That's awesome dude

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Been stuck at home with this virus mess, the one good think is surfing music and finding such great music talent, glad to see SOOO much youthful talent in all types of instruments ! Funny thing is I just turned 69 a few months back , God please let there be music in heaven !

This video is literally THE reason why I started playing guitar - beautifully constructed and performed - thank you!

Incredible talent! Captured the energy and intensity of the song.

[@sdfswords]

The best rock and roll song ever written, and a great rendition. You rock girl, strats and teles are perfect for that song!

[@nblackmore]

Strats and Teles may be perfect for this song, but she isn't playing them.

[@josephking1947]

There's something about this song when played right, that reaches to the depth of your soul.

[@johnvoyce]

It's great that she's improvising and not just showing us how the Stones played it.

[@landaudavid]

I've been listening to the Stones since 1965. I have never heard any cover of Gimme Shelter better than that. She is AWESOME!

[@peteandtessTube]

I feel like I made a musical discovery this morning…. Laura Cox, you’re Incredible! Thank you for keeping classic rock alive and doing it so well. Keep playing with your heart and soul and you’re destined for greatness!

[@TruthSpin7]

the solo was no doubt “in her head” every time she’d listen to the stones original. wonder if keith has heard this yet? nice job!

[@jamesaspell5884]

Agree 100%. This is inspired stuff...

[@jamesanderson8135]

yr playing is expressive, emotional, and kick- ass! rock on i love it

[@barefootbeachrunner9498]

When you listen to this it really makes me shake my head when people say Keith Richards is an overated average guitarist As always Laura does an awesome take on some amazing guitar music

[@TruthSpin7]

brian jones; the forgotten “other” stones guitarist also influenced this wonderful rhythm n blues classics. its impossible to choose a fav stones track - but push comes to shove i’d have to give “shelter” the nod!

I totally agree with you

[@petershure4054]

Laura...I'm a HUGE Stones fanatic since 1965...been playing their music by ear on piano...just got the chills listening to you play "Shelter" like that! Just incredible for such a young girl. So talented! Keith Richard would be proud of you, and so am I. Keep it up...Just amazing! Peter

I've been an ardent fan of 'Gimme Shelter' ever since I first heard it in 1968 (what's that? like 50 years now, lol). I'm in love with this brief cover version. I am in awe of its beauty, so different from the Stones original yet equally as powerful and very beautiful.

[@RickBeall]

I just watched this again and was about to leave a comment, but I see I already did. Twice! Great stuff. Your tones are very appropriate for the Rolling Stones. I kept watching it to see what you would trot out next.
