The Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb (REACTION)

[@kathyk5319]

To be “under one's thumb” means to be under that person's control. In this song, Mick Jagger has turned the tables on a girl who used to push him around, so now she's under his thumb and the “sweetest pet in the world.”

Brian Jones was the Rolling stones secret weapon in the 1960's. He played so many different instruments. He played; slide guitar, harmonica, dulcimer, mellotron, sitar, keyboards, etc... Here he is playing the marimbas.

[@MrBmick79]

my favorite era of the Stones.....even though I love their Mick Taylor years, I really liked them more when they sound more British

[@benjaminpriess2612]

If you guys want to hear the best Jagger vox, look up "Let It Loose". No words for how good it is.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

“Let it Loose” might be my all-time favorite Stones song. I wish these guys would do full album reactions because they're MISSING out on some truly great Stones songs, especially from that 1968-1972 period.

[@MrBmick79]

Let it Loose is in my top ten Stones songs easily.

[@myhomeo429]

One of my favorite Stones songs. It’s so much fun to watch you guys reliving my childhood 55 years later.

My father had Their Hot Rocks 8 track, Zeppelins Houses of the Holy, a Beatles Greatest Hits when myself 3 brothers baby sister, mom all drove back and forth to Florida in a customized van, dark green with a rainbow stripe, mag wheels, shag carpeted inside the year was 1972 and next to Zeps HOH this song reminds me of that trip. RIP Sweet Albie, Mumsie, Paul, Dennis, Michael. PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN

[@doriwiljt]

I really really love early Stones. I love their 70s stuff too. But the early stuff is really special. You guys make me tear up because you get it.

[@k_salter]

Ditto. And by 1971 they had a double greatest hits album, Hot Rocks. I wore that one out.

[@johnfrank3177]

Couldn't agree more.👍

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

I love the band’s creative ingenuity, exploration of different musical forms, and in-studio experimentation during the Brian Jones era. As songwriters, they started to hit their stride with Aftermath (1966). Still, they also made some of their most antithetical Stones material (as heard with their forays into Baroque Pop and Psychedelia) in the Jones era. It's just a brilliantly creative period for the group.

[@danevans5823]

This song is just short of 60 years old.The bass line growl's just right under Micks vocals and the full stereo effect of different parts in each ear are perfect in this old great song

[@happymethehappyone8300]

An EARLY MUST HEAR Classic,, The Rolling Stones "Get Off Of My Cloud" 🔥

[@cogit8er]

Brian Jones on the Marimbas there. Just one of the many legendary imprints he made on their early music using whatever instrument came to hand (try Ruby Tuesaday next to hear him on the recorder). Definitely a nod to Motown here using a James Jamerson bass riff as the engine for this one. Love the underplayed guitar solo, too. Another good one from this era is 'I am waiting.'

[@now_is_past]

And out of time.

I've been a big fan of the stones for awhile but I've only recently listened to aftermath and between the buttons. Its crazy how early the stones actually sounded like the stones that you think of today.

[@mamared56]

I've always loved this song, even though I used to think it was sexist. As I got older and had a few relationships, I realized that this song just expresses feelings we have all felt during or after a bad relationship (male or female).

[@Gordy63]

This one brings me back to 1972 when I got my first album - Rolling Stones’ Hot Rocks. I was 9 years old and immediately hooked on their sound. Still my favorite band 51 years later!

[@rc1564]

I just love the thumping bass guitar....under my thumb is a squirmy dog who just had her day. If was in a song today, people would be outraged

[@AbeMayaTV]

This is roughly 1966. Jumping Jack Flash was 1966 too. I am 67 and have been into the Stones since I was 8 in 1964. I find it so enjoyable that a segment of Americas population who are so musically gifted are just finding out about a The greatest Rock N Roll band in the world. No dis to no one but the school of cats all played instruments wrote original songs and never 'borrowed' stole or sampled anything. Much success in your channel Rock on

[@mikesheridan7651]

Jack Flash released 1968

[@JoeandAngie]

Through The Past Darkly, the original release was a hexagonally-shaped lp of greatest hits which came out in the early 70s, is a definitive collection of the Stones at one of their peaks. Then came Goat's Head Soup!

[@billadkins5150]

It never gets old. I was six years old when this came out. My sister had it on a 45.

[@tomrockwood851]

Brian Jones really gave a lot of the early songs depth and fullness. Every time you think, "Wow, that's cool", it was usually Brian doing something with some instrument you would never fathomed could be in a rock song.

[@Jules-um4yy]

Always loved the drive and Mick's singing in this song.🎶 Under my thumb means having control over someone. Yes, in today's world the lyrics might be a bit controversial but can't deny how catchy the entire arrangement is. Sounds like he was under her thumb at some point as well so it went both ways. Thanks guys for reacting to another great Stones tune!🧡

[@jpmnewyork]

In today's world? I played this on my Halloween show on college radio because I considered it genuinely scary -- in 1974! 50 years ago! Don't get me wrong, I love the track, and the musicianship is superb, but those lyrics are definitely caveman worthy!

[@Jules-um4yy]

@@jpmnewyork I hear you. There were so many songs back then (and today) that are creepy. I am a huge Beatles fan, but check out the lyrics to "Run For Your Life" back in 1965, (yikes!) or Hendrix in "Hey Joe" and I love Jimi Hendrix too. I am just here for the music which is made even better with these wonderful brothers reactions.☮ ☺

[@jpmnewyork]

@@Jules-um4yy Absolutely. Not only "Hey Joe" but Neil Young's "Down By The River" -- which I love to listen to, but man, there were an awful lot of women getting shot down in these songs. At least Neil sounded repentant -- Jimi was going to escape to Mexico so he could be free! As for the Beatles, Lennon was a textbook case of someone who recognized he had a problem, and evolved. They even addressed it in "Getting Better": I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene And I'm doing the best that I can Of course McCartney, of all people, still managed to make me cringe with "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"...

[@Jules-um4yy]

@@jpmnewyork Yes, I recall hearing interviews with Lennon regarding his past behavior and I remember that song well. The good news is that John had the awareness and insight to admit the problem. I love that Neil Young song too despite the lyrics. Very chill and hynotic. All of this is what makes music so interesting. Thanks for the conversation!🦋

[@monkface]

Well the Stones have always deliberately pushed things into the realms of "naughty" or controversial or even dark.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

“Under My Thumb” the spouse who controls the relationship…. In this song scenario ❤️ he won’t get pushed around anymore !

[@324cmac]

It's more than that. He is now controlling her in a way that sounds abusive to me. This relationship is toxic from both partners.

[@joescott8877]

@@324cmac True. And Mick admitted as much. He also said his song on the same album, "Stupid Girl," showed an even "nastier" vindictive side to him, coming partly from the pressures of fame and, specifically, well, "SOME girls"...

[@mamaflush9945]

Hello La & Che, great reaction. I enjoy listening to the RS earlier tunes, they're style and sound underwent significant changes in the 1960's. The Stones were passionate about blues music, and they helped to introduce a wider audience to its sound in the 60's. Mick Jagger and Kieth Richards became one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of all time. It was wonderful meeting your daughter's La & Che, they are very beautiful and appear to have both their father's love for music. I hope we get to see them react to something else in future. Here's another suggestion for another song from the same album, if interested. "The Rolling Stones - Mother's Little Helper (Official Lyric Video)" (by the channel: ABKCOVEVO) --The Rolling Stones describes this album "Aftermath" as one of the best albums to demonstrates their diverse range of styles and showcase their musical prowess and experimentational skills. As always, I enjoyed the reaction thanks for sharing. peace out~

[@ohfour-seven6228]

So glad you're getting into The Stones, they were putting singles out the same time as The Beatles and their earlier songs were just as great as their later output. Check out Get Off My Cloud, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It Black, Mother's Little Helper, The Last Time, Lady Jane, Play With Fire, As Tears Go By, I could go on and on with early Stones. Their psychedelic songs were incredible as well: 2000 Light Years From Home, Dandelion, We Love You, She's a Rainbow, The Lantern. All wonderful!

A bit of irony- Mick is sporting an Eagles jersey which he wore on the opening of the tour at JFK stadium in Philly, September 1981. We skipped school (it was a Friday) and they opened with Under my Thumb👍

[@hookalakah]

The cut was from "Aftermath" (1965), the band's first album cut at RCA Studios in Hollywood. It was also their first album solely comprised of original material. They had help from arranger Jack Nitzsche (he played piano on "Flight 505" and "Doncha Bother Me," and probably rounded up the marimba that Brian Jones plays on "Under My Thumb") and engineer Dave Hassinger. But the record is all about groove.

[@tzcomp]

You picked the right recording to review. The song was one of the early ones so it was available in mono only until someone remastered it way later.

Everybody pretty much acknowledges Jagger as a world class "frontman" and everybody thinks about his moves on stage, but I think he kinda gets overlooked sometimes as a vocalist. For somebody whose most famous strength was his outrageousness and flamboyance, this is a very nuanced vocal performance...

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

I think the people who demean his vocal prowess are primarily casual listeners who have not explored much of the band’s oeuvre. No one can listen to “Let it Loose,” “Shine a Light,” “I Got the Blues,” “Moonlight Mile,” or “Sister Morphine” and tell me Jagger is a lousy singer.

I've been a die hard Stones fan since they played on the Ed Sullivan show in 64 or 65 or whenever - there are so many songs of theirs I like it would be hard to pick a top-5 or top-10 but I think Under My Thumb is in that conversation. I had the Hot Rocks greatest hits album on 8-track in my '72 Dodge Challenger and Under My Thumb got a lot of play while me and my homies were cruising.
