The Rolling Stones - Jumpin’ Jack Flash (REACTION)

[@fredsanford5954]

That other riff was "(I can't get no) Satisfaction", also the Rolling Stones, but a couple of years earlier. Classic late '60s Stones.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

the groove is quite similar, the main riffs aren't

[@craigbaker7014]

Sounds like he’s humming Mr. Soul - N. Young/Buffalo Springfield

[@hog7203]

On the song I Like to Rock by April Wine at the end they play the Satisfaction riff and the riff from the Beatles Day tripper over each other and it fits perfectly.

[@frederickpando9444]

No, he was humming I Can't Get No Satisfaction@@craigbaker7014

[@berkani7945]

steppenwolf - born to be wild is inspired by this song

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

That guitar intro is not an electric its an acoustic played through a tape recorder that overloaded its circuits.thats how keith got the sound. Hes the king of open tuning rhythm guitar and the filthiest sound

[@donnazasgoat2274]

The dirtier the better!

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

@@donnazasgoat2274right on! I like my guitar sound and woman equally dirty!

[@mojoboogie3074]

I know that was done for ‘Street Fighting Man’ - didn’t realize it was done for this intro.

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

@@mojoboogie3074 yes, I read that he used a brunell or nagra, can't recall which one. And he would make demos of riffs by plugging an acoustic guitar that had the capability to play through an Amp. Im not sure if he modified a Gibson jumbo or a Martin acoustic or if he bought it that way but either way it gave a different sound for sure. He plugged it directly into the tape recorder. It would overload the circuit of the recorder to the point of blowing it up. So you would get a somewhat acoustic sound mixed with a somewhat electric sound with distortion but still some clarity. So a really unique sound and Keith said many musician friends asked him how he got that sound. He also used open tuning on so many riffs to get that Keith type sound. It started just like you said in 1968, Street Fighting Man. Graham Parsons showed him how to play with open tuning. Many country stars used it for their songs. Delbert McClinton taught it to John Lennon in 1964. Don't like country but many of those country players are tremendous musicians. Emmy Lou Harris taught it to Graham Parsons, she had some great ,superb players in her bands!

[@O_Towne_Bear]

They "Street Fighting Man" the same way

[@sukie584]

The AM radio played an enormous role in the music of the 50s & 60s. In 3 minutes you told a story & created this great new music.

[@pb68slab18]

Yep, I think most stations would usually only play 3~4min songs dictated by record companies.

[@jeromeglick]

This song loses its impact when you listen to it in nice clean stereo. You really gotta hear it on a crusty AM radio while caught up on the back streets of the Bronx trying to make it 500 miles on a long hot summer road trip. Or on a busted boombox in the corner of some old country store. That's how I first heard it.

[@deaniegarcia5694]

Classic by a classic band, run out of superlatives and it boggles my mind that they are still touring, much less alive. A fantastic reaction as always! 😊

[@Gordy63]

Keith Richards said the two songs that got him most pumped up to play live are Jumping Jack Flash and All Down the Line. He said they are like runaway trains. You should check out both songs live from the movie “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones,” and you’ll see what he means! Absolute 🔥

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

An instance where Charlie Watts gets to be heard with that great rhythm. Absolutely LOVE this one!! Y'all be safe.

[@jimwillride]

That riff is Satisfaction, good point! That's another of their iconic songs, but never saw that connection. Sometimes "new" ears are just the thing. Thanks for the great channel boys!!! Much love

[@Headtube]

Also similar to "Bitch".

[@crazylegslife]

One of my favorite Stones tunes. Saturday mornings, House of Frankenstein, Wolfman always played this song and then did a psychedelic dance... Boy I am old

[@donnazasgoat2274]

So am I, so what? Loved Wolfman Jack too! I also loved Dr. Demento.

[@DrVonChilla]

I wear my age as a Badge Of Honor. Today's youth WANT to be US, whether they admit it or not. LOL

[@222333aaaaaa]

😂😭

[@johnyelenosky4242]

The sound is close to "Street Fighting Man" recorded at the same time frame. Recorded in 1968.

[@snatchhog]

This was a HUGE song, back in the day 😊

[@terenzo50]

1968 was the year the poop really hit the fan all over the world. Their next single was Street Fighting Man. Appropriate.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

You're right: “JJ Flash” is kind of an inverted take on their earlier “Satisfaction” riff. It also marked a welcome return to the grittier, swag-infused rock that made them famous after a year or so foray into Baroque Pop and psychedelia, which still hangs ever so slightly into this iconic track. In other words, it's really about escaping the haze of 1967. Thus, “JJ Flash” not only saved the Stones but also kick-started a brilliant run from 1968 to 1972.

[@elisaabolafia9542]

Well Put❗

[@Jude_196]

The whole entire movie, Jumpin' Jack Flash, with Whoopie Goldberg, was centered around the lyrics of this song!! Man - LOVE ME SOME STONES!!! Gritty, tough, dirty, and FUN!!! HUGS, YOU-GUYS!!! ❤

[@cherylwoodward]

These guys were the original bad boys of rock. They ooze it from every pore of this song. Just badass through and through!

[@ArmandoMPR]

This is one of the most influential rock songs ever. It’s not only the songwriting but the production as well. It’s timeless.

[@your_huge_ego_bores_me]

Yes Sir, way bigger historically than might be apparent to new listeners to the entirety of classic modern music. Hard to express how big this song was in its day.

[@Alex_Sosa]

Your right! The "other song" you said sounded similar was "I cant get no Satisfaction" , also by them.

[@cikalujo]

The amazing thing is how much menace, grit and badassery Keith Richards can put into any tune with what's really just softly, subtly and understatedly plucking along.

[@Jerry-dn5yw]

Dont forget about Brian Jones......

[@rachelpsmith3129]

The Stones have a lot of great songs, but this one gets you dancing like maybe no other.

[@Neillybob63]

For me, it's "Bitch" from Sticky Fingers, those funky horns get me bouncing every time!

[@APAL880]

Agreed, this one is special in their catalogue

[@olly8]

Whoa..taking me back to my Junior high school days! This song never gets old. Love it and the movie Jumpin Jack Flash. Good memories 👍🏻 Classic Stones.

[@Contractnik]

"Hang-gliding..." what an incredible description. Love that. You guys are always so on point and cool in your breakdowns.

[@JonMorris-b4x]

Thanks guys for sharing the Stones with your wide audience. You help create future fans of the Greatest Rock n Roll band in the world!!👍👍

[@ML-un1oi]

So much more of the Stones to get into. Great reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤

[@roboct6]

I love the Stones. I've always thought of them, and I mean this in the most loving way, as the ultimate bar band. The absolute best of that gritty, live sound I used to hear in the dance bars of my youth.

[@nthdegree1269]

Agreed....Being a great Bar Band is a fantastic accomplishment. Always more interesting to see bands in intimate settings.

[@mojorider8455]

This is a classic, one of my all time fave songs. Love the the way the organ comes in at the end, the pedal tones of the bass, the great drive and groove. Just a great beat, love this tune!

[@encoreunefois1X]

This track was recorded and released in 1968. The movie Jumpin' Jack Flash from 1986 contained Aretha Franklin's version of the song which she recorded with Keith Richards on guitar and producing. Chuck Leavell, Steve Jordan, and Ronnie Wood also played on it.

[@AW11-e4h]

It's familiar because it's one of their biggest hits from over fifty years ago. Was a gigantic single that relaunched their career after some less successful psychedelia.

Yes! You guys gotta please check out “Fingerprint File” by the Stones for some gritty funk.

[@Boatzilla2]

I'd be interested to see what you guys think of their new stuff. Incredibly they just dropped a whole new album of original material. Two songs have already been released "Angry" and "Sweets Sounds of Heaven' (with Lady Gaga, and Stevie Wonder on keys). Thanks for your reaction. This one always gets the crowd going in live shows.

[@christimanley13]

Stevie Wonder? Didn't know that. Will check it out

Thank you gentlemen for spinning this..first time I hear this jam it was on 8 track tape..still hits like the first time.

[@elijahFree2000]

Heard it first on cassette in the early 70s

[@827dusty]

You are thinking of "Satisfaction." That was an early "Stones" mega-hit song in 1964, I think. And yes, now that you mention it, it does have some of the same melodic structure. I think most Bands have a "style" that shows up in most of their music. That's what sets one Band or artist apart from the others. It's their signature. Thanks guys.

[@jskit92380]

This tune was used in the movie Jumpin' Jack Flash with Whoopi Goldberg. Good movie. One of my favorite RS tunes. Thanks La and Che your reactions are top notch!

[@andysielaff2252]

We’re all a bit diirty. Thanks to the stones for the recognition, not just with the lyrics but the sound. You guys nailed it again

Certainly one of the all time Greatest Rock Songs ever created from the Greatest Rock Band of all time.

[@patrickdoake6022]

Sound of the 60s, every time I hear it I think, hippies, sunshine groovy chicks, love it!

[@chaosandcreation4118]

Satisfaction is probably the riff you're thinking of. Whoopi was singing this very song in the movie trying to get the lyrics.

[@chillywilly9080]

[@joescott8877]

Good call on the similarity between this riff and "Satisfaction"'s! I'd never vibed that before, very interesting! For some reason their "Angie" just popped into my head. "Soft" Stones, but beautiful, gorgeous, moving. The piano is unforgettable in that one! "She's a Rainbow" has marvelous keyboards as well, now that I think of it! LOTS of Stones yet to turn over!

Quintessential Stones! Driving rhythm section, Keith’s in your face gritty riff and Mick’s vocals.

[@jimmoore8951]

Keith has a knack for the catchiest rhythm guitar riffs of all time

[@hermesalonso2310]

You guys are funny, but respect for listening to this, kudos 👏you got good ears

[@davidcapito6957]

I wish you would react to their song Laugh, I nearly died. No one has reacted to it and it has a really hard grungy sound. It’s one of my favorite stones songs. Blinded by rainbows is great also. Keep them coming, great job!

[@johnprice6066]

The opening guitar part was Keith Richards playing acoustic guitar into a really hot mic to get the distortion. And yes, it's like "Satisfaction" in reverse... Every time I hear this, I always see Mick doing his best Tina Turner moves on stage.

[@BengtLofqvist]

Shit i have never thought of the similarities of " Satisfaction" and Jumpin Jack Flash although i have listen to them for about a hundred years. You are observant.

Satisfaction

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

This is 60's & early 70's were their BEST years. They've been the same since '81

[@clifton8929]

The Stones back in 1968 had everybody putting their money in the Juke Box for this tune. With that beat, Jagger singing, and lyrics like "I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag - I was schooled with a strap right across my back," you were thinkin' 'WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!

[@neilsergener3821]

I remember exactly where I was this day of spring of 68 when I first heard this song on the radio. The presenter said "there are coming back !!". It was, actually, after one year and half of problems with drug and psychedelic songs that were judged (then - not nowadays) not very good.

[@cynthiasmith5144]

Jumping Jack Flash saying yes yes yes ❤

[@lindasalaki9404]

That was a gas,gas,gas ✌️☮️

[@Marc-g3s9e]

this is the song that launched the golden era...on to Beggars, Bleed, Sticky and Exile...probably (no truly) the greatest run in rock n roll...the movie as was after the song. Stones influence begins to rise in a big way in the late 60's when they became the greatest rock and roll band in the world...and oh by the way...check out the brand new stuff...mind blowing!

[@steveullrich7737]

This is from 1968 and another one of their iconic riffs and refrains!

Sir..that's the power of brothers..I have the same thing with my brother.

[@gregcable3250]

What is really interesting and not surprising is that you might not have heard this before it seems and are looking at the gritty words (along with the music), but everyone, and I mean everyone my age knew every word of this song by heart (and nearly all of the others you play in the rock genre) in the same way you guys know the words to your favorite hip hop pieces from when you were say 15 years old and onward. Just wait. In 30 years or so you will encounter some kid who has never heard a song you know by heart, e.g., Fight the Power, or something else you consider essential musical knowledge and will be astounded that they don't know it. Take it easy on them and recall that people my age are having the same reaction when you do your thing here. Keep on keepin' on.

[@kennycamaro2361]

Yeaahhhhhhh. Go Laa! Go Cheee!

[@dannymoore6886]

A version of this song called Country Honk was initially released on the Let It Bleed Album in 69. It later evolved into Jumping Jack Flash. Leon Russell does a great version of Jumping Jack Flash on the Concert For Bangladesh album.

[@uncletom618]

Best lyric line in all of Rock and Roll! “I was raised by a toothless bearded hag!”

[@cogit8er]

This was released as a single before Beggars Banquet came out. Satanic Majesties Request had not been very well received, what with all the Peace & Love stuff going around at the time. So the Stones cranked this one out as a placeholder till Beggars came out. As Keith later said,"There was nothing about peace and love in Jumpin Jack Flash.". Also, like Street Fighting Man, this was recorded with an acoustic guitar hooked up to an overwhemed Panasonic cassette recorder. The drum kit Charlie used was one of those old travelling jazz kits that folds into a suitcase. I saw it at an expo in Chicago---it was super tiny. So to say these records were low-tech is putting it mildly. As Keith later said they made these records with "bits of rubbish," so to say they sound like a garage band would be something they wd likely take as a compliment. Great job, La and Che! Thanks.

[@thomasripley1548]
