THE ROLLING STONES SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL REACTION

[@ZeeStranjelz]

So glad you're paying attention to the lyrics...especially on this one...

[@TheLemzia]

This song is a Basic HISTORY of the World! and some of the UGLIEST Points as well.

[@NSHM122]

Interesting fact about the lyrics. The one part that says, "I shouted out who killed the Kennedy's..." was first written to say, "I shouted out, who killed John Kennedy..." but during the production of the song, Robert Kennedy was assassinated, so they changed it. It was a heavy lyric to hear when it first came out, since Robert Kennedy's death was so recent.

The Stones were a very huge and influential band that have survived to this day for one reason: great songs. My favourites were this one, Gimme Shelter, Paint It Black, Waiting On A Friend, Beast of Burden, and You Can't Always Get What You Want.

[@mikeriddle383]

[@lynnarthur-stillalive2025]

Some trivia. In the beginning of the video you see "Thanks Nicky" in a heart. The driving piano is legendary (late) Nicky Hopkins. The Stones would not have their unique song without him. From "She's a Rainbow" to "Angie"... Nicky's talent is forever etched in this band's history.♥️

This song both played into and cemented the Stones' image as the dark side of the light/dark divide in music in the 60's. The Beatles were the light side, full of whimsy and charm, while the Stones were dark, violent, and "devilish". They played up their sexuality and willingness to experiment with darkness. "Gimme Shelter" was another song that went into that darkness, and then Altamont happened, the 60's crashed and burned, and the dream was over.

One of my BFs in college did an excellent Jagger impersonation and entered in this lip sync/air guitar contest at the local bar we all hung out at. He drug me out in the middle of the dance floor and put me on a stool and "performed" "Beast of Burden" to me and everyone. LOL I was so embarrassed but it was so funny and he won! Anyway - you make me remember things Jay. And I thank you for that doll. ♥

[@itsmissyvonne]

And props to the person making these Stones videos. (S)he does a similar one for "Paint It Black," and they are really cool. The constant "woo woo," the driving bongos, the wicked guitar really adds to the screaming savagery the lyrics are alluding to.

[@BeigeHolland]

You should see the Altamont Festival. This is done live. Grace Slick had just done her set she and her band went away from the concert in a helicopter. She looked down on the festival goers and said that it looked like someone was being killed. In fact, there was someone being killed. This live version from 1970 marked the end of the era of "peace and love - the 60's. Some say that you can see the killing on the film. Bigger part was that Jagger was supposedly a witness from the stage. He denies to this day that he saw anything. IN some videos they stop and frame by frame go through this part

[@oliverkalamata2753]
