The Rolling Stones - Tumbling Dice (REACTION)

[@Rodman108]

There's fever in the funkhouse now. 🔥

[@Contractnik]

Billy Preston did a lot of the arrangements in LA, with Jagger and Richards - the gospel singers were Billy's idea.

[@DanielHBuchmann]

Never knew that. wow.

[@georgetaxi8179]

The Stones have their own sound, but they are amazing that none of their songs sound the same. With a band with a huge catalog, that is an amazing feat.

[@mikefannon6994]

You can say that of the Beatles, too. Love both!

[@MrDeengels]

Totally agree, The Stones have their own groove and sound. They always have songs that swing.

[@brendawoodson3230]

I always thought they leaned heavily toward country honky tonk and blues but yes they could rock out too they're a fun band high energy

[@sallybannister6224]

They are unique, not repetitive, just unique . Just the best , I know my life, the world is a better place with them in it . England's best .❤

[@BadstreetMI]

Essentially the classic Stones sound is Chuck Berry crossed with Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters, with a lean towards one side over the other depending on the era. Exile On Main Street is almost pure Chuck Berry.

[@miked3087]

Linda Ronstadt did a great cover of this song on her Simple Man Simple Dreams album.

[@Bassman2353]

This album was recorded after the Stones spent time with Leon Russell and visited the Muscle Shoals recording studio. The influence oozes out of this music.

[@olly8]

Thanks for the background ☮️

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

You can definitely hear it.

[@chuckwerry7437]

And some of the songs on this album were influenced by the great Gram Parsons.

[@Contractnik]

That's fascinating. Wow.

[@suesebree8670]

Wish they would do some Leon.

[@ElGordo1959]

Keef always said it's not about the rock, it's all about the roll in the key of Keef!🙃

[@michellezaleske-estrada40]

The Rolling Stones are our Rock n Roll church.

[@stephenpatterson8031]

Are you kidding me? ROCK and Roll straight up! 👊

[@MaddyN999]

Must listens are Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil. Stones have such a deep and diverse catalog!

[@Dan-zb1ks]

They sound like a bar band at a honky tonk. That's why they're so special.

[@monkface]

One of those grooves that could just roll on forever.

[@willowvee5844]

The Stones are just as you said- a rhythm and blues band. While sounding instantly identifiable, they explore and evolve, even into the 80's. Emotional Rescue album sounds funky and Reggae! And it's awesome!

[@jimkruchowski7400]

It all started with their blues in the 60’s; listen to some of that.

[@justinatest9456]

It never mattered what they were doing, they were always effortlessly cool doing it.

[@perrymalcolm3802]

This is from their greatest album Exile on Main Street arguably the greatest rock n roll album ever! And YES! The Stones are rhythm n blues

[@keefmack]

Love the line “there’s a fever in the funk house now”

[@blackwolf6082]

One of their best

[@lindakessler8768]

Yes, more Stones please! 👍❤🤙

[@Micknkeithable]

Stones released a brand new song on Wednesday. “Angry” The video is historically great!

[@cindycig]

Stones the best band on this planet, since 1962 !!!! ❤ your video reactions. You guys should play a few of my favorite Stones songs...ANGIE, WILD HORSES and SOME GIRLS, these are 3 top notch songs

[@denniswatson455]

So glad you guys are diving into the Stones. Such a remarkable long run of incredible music. Enjoy the ride!

[@michaelp.7893]

I never get tired of hearing this song from the EXILE ON MAIN STREET album (1972). It was the follow-up album to STICKY FINGERS which featured "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" which you guys reacted to earlier. My favorite Stones song with "Gimme Shelter" (1969) a close second.

[@janicez2630]

Let it Bleed is a fantastic album....try the song Gimmie Shelter.

[@Greg-io1ip]

Isn't Stevie Nix doing backing vocals on Gimme Shelter? Or am I confusing songs?

[@clifton8929]

The Rabbit Hole with The Stones is deep and sometimes like a fever dream. Songs like "Miss You", "Sympathy for the Devil", "Midnight Rider", "Gimme Shelter", 'Monkey Man,' Moonlight Mile, 'Start Me Up,' 'Undercover of the Night', and it's always getting deeper. Great job guys.

[@wanderer0617]

You gotta see them play this live. A Rolling Stones live concert is phenomenal.

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

That’s was great! Loved the reaction! Great song! Let it Bleed, Exile on Mainstreet and Sticky Fingers are R&R masterpieces!

[@Jules-um4yy]

Yes, more Stones!! Also check out Linda Ronstadt singing this one live. There are sooo many cool songs from this band - "Gimme Shelter", "Wild Horses", Sympathy for the Devil", etc. Thanks so much guys for reacting to this soulful, funky tune🎶

[@somersetcace1]

Something about the end section of this studio version that makes my hair stand up. From about 4:05 on, the exchange between the background singers and Jagger in that spot is perfect. He's not doing anything miraculous, he's just hitting the exact spot he needed to. Like a perfectly bent note on a guitar.

[@mrnick5515]

I like at 2:32 when Keith comes in with the rank outsider

[@Greg-io1ip]

Stones rabbit hole is deep and wide! This always struck me as country blues, which Stones had a few 'honkytonk' adventures in their catalog. Their live shows by the time I saw them in concert weren't super great, but I love so many Stones songs I don't know where to begin. Shattered was my favorite song for a while. "Shoop shadoobie, shattered!"

[@johndrx165]

This is one of my favorites from them. They do have a ton of great songs. Just has a great vibe and their swag.

[@peterjonas4971]

Mick and Charlie saw Aretha in LA while they were mixing this, and I'm sure that's when they decided to bring in the back-up singers. Thank you all for playing this. I hope you enjoy more Stones

[@Bassman2353]

The back-up singers and the entire vibe came from Leon Russell's bands - starting with Mad Dogs and Englishmen and continuing with the Shelter People. Claudia Linnear (who inspired the song "Brown Sugar" on Sticky Fingers) and her comperes in Leon Russell's bands inspired tons of artists in the early 1970s.

[@jamescipolla5328]

It should also be noted that Billy Preston was beginning to become a huge influence on their sound at this time as well. It is told that when they were in LA to do some mixing, Billy invited Mick along to a black church, which left an impression upon Mick. From that visit Just Want To See His Face was created, and the Billy Preston influence can be heard on a number of tracks from Exile.

[@vicprovost2561]

Great song! For another from them from the Mick Taylor era, try Monkey Man, another all time classic. Awesome guys, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎷🎶

[@t.j.payeur5331]

Well, I admit it, I been tossed around by every she-rat in this town..have you baabe?!

[@hollywoodpotato5289]

If you sound a bit too messianic… perhaps even a trifle too Satanic? It’s cool, you love playing the blues. We understand.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The Rolling Stones "Get Off Of My Cloud"...Nuff Said.

[@thesaltnation5570]

This is my 2nd favorite stones song! Star star is my 1st fav ❤

[@brendahhstiles9992]

I saw them in Vancouver when they toured for Exile on Main Street , think it was ‘72? I remember their was a riot outside during the concert. Oh ya, Stevie Wonder opened for them lol. It was awesome.

[@jimcole9751]

Their best album. Exile on Main

[@bluesrock1]

Keith Richards would love that you said Rhythm and Blues Rock. They were all big R&B fans, and a little Jazz!

[@michaelfrazia4569]

exile is just such a great album

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Man, i am lovin' that you're lovin' this - 'Stones came up playing Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddly. They were the part of the British Invasion that had emersed itself in American Southern blues, Delta. All that good blues music that we had never heard on the top 40 rock/pop stations. That wonderful music had to cross the Atlantic Ocean twice before we got to hear it right here Stateside. And the Stones were ambassadors of those sounds. So if you hear R&B/blues in the Rolling Stones songs, i think we all owe them a debt of gratitude.

[@bobbyboogie2603]

My all time favorite Stones but I gotta say the back singers really put this song over the top.

[@ML-un1oi]

La and Che. Such a joy to watch and listen to you enjoy the Stones . You liked the first two. You will thoroughly enjoy the rest of the catalog. As always fellas great reaction and much appreciated.

[@jlb6]

Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street ( my favorite) are probably two of the greatest records ever. Highly recommend a track by track review for each. The Stones especially Keith understood the roll has to go with the rock. A great country band, blues band, rock and roll band, ballad songwriters.

[@AW11-e4h]

Greatest Rock N Roll Band ever 🤘🤘

[@kerryknight228]

Their best album in my opinion ✌️

[@brewstergallery]

This is from Exile On Main Street. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is from Sticky Fingers. A golden period for them.

[@kraig7777]

Ha! This is cool! My second time watching you guys and it's your second time hearing the Stones! I'm 64 and i remember reading a record review for the Stones when I was a teenager where the reviewer said they were in essence just a great rhythm section. They changed their lead guitar player three times but the rhythm section was always solid as a rock.

[@paulprendergast3184]

Hey Y'all, anything from Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed is outstanding. Beggars Banquet, Goats Head Soup and It's Only Rock and Roll are great too but the three aforementioned albums just really stand out in their catalog.

[@jlb6]

Get Your Ya Yas Out is a terrific live album from this period.

[@marksiracusa6114]

“It’s not the rock , rather it’s roll “ Keith Richards If that outro doesn’t roll your spine , you’re dead. Masterpiece in Open G guitar tuning.

[@wdrauch]

It just doesn’t get any better than that outro

[@Contractnik]

You guys nailed it. I have seen 18 shows from 1981-2019. My first at 9 years old. They ALWAYS deliver just like that.

[@stephensuddick1896]

I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this coming over the radio. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever heard in my life. Nothing has changed.

[@danw2276]

Waching the game and you right now. Go Celtics!!!! Thanks guys, between Led and the Who I had little care about these guys but they are still legendary

[@jlovebirch]

The Sones began with traditional blues combined with a Chuck Berry rock influence and took it to a new level that sounds both familiar and unique.

[@williamlovett619]

They have a wide range of sounds

I've always thought it's crazy that four English guys recorded the greatest American album with Exile on Main Street.

[@BigC.]

My favorite!

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

You guys should consider doing the whole album. It's full of great deep tracks (Rip This Joint, Sweet Virginia, Shine a Light, Torn & Frayed, ... I really like every song on it) , always on people's various top 10/20/50 albums of all time lists.

[@mikefannon6994]

Rip This Joint is pedal-to-the-metal rock & roll!

[@MapManLK]

The last song on Side 1 of "Exile on Main St". Couldn't WAIT to turn that freaking album over to see what the boys had in store for me next! Another of my lost-on-an-island-albums.

[@joescott8877]

"HONK IF YOU HATE HORNS!"

It’s THE STONES. That’s all you need to know. All of their songs are great. You can’t pick just one.

[@ezekiel5687]

My favorite band!!

[@AttackChefDennis]

Hey Guys! With the Stones you'll have to go by the three main decades of their existence and more. The 70's Stones do not sound like the 60's Stones and the 80's Stones sound changed again and so on. This was from '72.

[@timcardona9962]

"Rhythm & Blues sound" - thats right. The Blues is the Stones' primary influence and while they did cover a lot of ground that Blues influence is always there

[@Imagination-In-A-Box]

My personal favorite stones song from my favorite album

[@petergardiner2572]

awesome song, glad y'all liked it

[@dpe4]

impressive. you guys are hitting the deep, deep cuts.

[@darkmagus64]

This was from, maybe their best album, Exile on Main Street. It was recorded, mostly, in the south of France because the Stones were tax exiles from England were they owed a huge tax debt.

[@jimwillride]

Thanks for caring about this old music. It is somehow really rewarding to see you appreciate it. Not that I wrote it. But to share it is priceless. Great channel...I learn more from you than anyone else out there, and you guys are humble and regular people. Peace and love.

[@michaelkeefe8494]

There's a clip out of Linda Ronstadt doing Tumblin' Dice with the great Waddy Wachtel on guitar. You'd like it.

Probably my favorite Stones tune to spin and to play. Great open G groove - so fun. Hope you've had a great long weekend!

My two favorite stones songs...TD and Can't You Hear Me Knocing

Seeing you guys discover these tunes takes me back to when I first heard them back in the day. Dropping that needle down and this blasting. It's like enjoying it all over for the first time vicariously. Keep it going.

[@darrylbennett4297]

Love this track, great album! This is possibly the most “Stonesy” song in their huge catalog

[@cameronpickard7456]

stones sound is so distinctive

[@jimepp1492]

Their roots were originally in the Blues. First Stones record I owned was Little Red Rooster, written by Willie Dixon. Can't get more Bluesy than that!

[@guitarheroguy5]

Happy, Wild Horses, Midnight Rambler, Miss You, Ruby Tuesday, You Can't Always Get What You Want and Monkey Man are must hears from the Stones.

[@Felix-so8ez]

They put the roll in rock and roll

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Love your appreciation of good music keep it up guys

[@benhinds2971]

You guys are really going into this catalogue with some of their best material. Good Job. I would listen to Sticky Fingers, Exile, Let it Bleed, and Beggars Banquet first before you get into the albums that come before and after this period. They can be hit or miss.

[@Wordsmyth8]

I was first introduced to this song by Linda Ronstadt, who covered it on one of her albums. She does a killer version.

[@t.j.payeur5331]

The Stones can play Anything just the way it should be. You gotta hear Dead Flowers..or Far Away Eyes..or ,hell yes, Midnight Rambler...

[@davescurry69]

The album that this is from is called EXILE ON MAIN ST and it is to the Stones what PHYSICAL GRAFFITI is to Led Zeppelin. Arguably the greatest rock and roll album of all time.

[@Kram62]

Incredible groove, incredible mix. The rhythm section (Bill Wyman-bass & Charlie Watts-drums...RIP Charlie) sets the tone on this one, but it's all great!

[@jasonremy1627]

On this song, Mick Taylor plays bass. Bill Wyman was annoyed with all of the drugs going on at Nellcôte, and was absent for a lot of the tracks. He only plays half of the tracks on Exile on Main Street. Mick Taylor and Keith Richards split the rest. This one is Taylor.

[@Kram62]

[@dead_beat_poet]

These stones reactions are primo!!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

The Stones started as a blues cover band with Brian Jones the leader. So there's the blues influence. As Jagger, Richards, etc. started writing original material, Jones became irrelevant and killed himself with drugs. The Stone metamorphosed through many styles, and their catalog is varied an rich. Seeing as how you enjoy a bluesy, raw , rock sound, I recommend, in chronological order, Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out (live album), Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street. All classic albums loaded with classic songs. I recommend going through them in chronological order, but if you want to continue picking songs, you must listen to Brown Sugar. Then Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, Midnight Rambler, and You Can't Always Get What You Want will get the endorphins flowing. Keep up the great work!

[@rlwetz4317]

Others suspect Brian was killed, whether by accident or vicious intent. He was deeply troubled, reputed to be both a philanderer and physical abuser, and it's suggested that his hangers-on had become a sketchy lot.... But yeah, he was not in good shape after Mick & Keith took over.

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

La and Che, I forgot to mention Sympathy For The Devil, which should be first on your list. Thanks for the like, peace!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

@@rlwetz4317 Indeed. If memory serves, on the last record Jones played on, he asked "Can I play anything?", and Mick replied "I don't know, *can* you play anything?" Brutal.

[@rlwetz4317]

@@CuriousGeorge1111 😞 Oof. Thing is, his multi-instrumentalism (is that even a word?) shone on a few occasions (i.e., "She's A Rainbow," "Paint It Black") that made it even more tragic. Yeah, it had to suck to realize he didn't have songwriting chops like his bandmates; however, he could have been an amazing session player, or he could have produced other artists or perhaps tried musical scores instead of pop radio hits. Anyway. Trivia Question: What charting pop musician was the next entry into the 27 Club, the year after Brian Jones and earlier in the same month as Jimi? (A: Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat)
