Sympathy for the Devil was influenced by the decadent/symbolist 19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire's 'Les Fleurs du mal' - Flowers of Evil, based on a book given to Jagger by his culturally sophisticated, stunning inamorata, 60's femme fatale Marianne faithfull - 'The Master and Margarita', written during the Stalinist era by Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov. The story concerns a visit by the devil to the officially atheistic Soviet Union. The Master and Margarita combines supernatural elements with satirical dark comedy and Christian philosophy, defying categorization within a single genre. Many critics consider it to be one of the best novels of the 20th century, as well as the foremost of Soviet satires. Sympathy for the Devil is considered one of the 60's greatest counterculture songs of warning and should be viewed as a companion piece to the Stones apocalyptic Gimme Shelter, Street Fighting Man and Dylan's/Hendrix All Along the Watchtower. These song represent the revolutionary turbulence taking place in the West in 1968. Sympathy is a song of dread and foreboding that represents the dark side of the 60's and the frailty of human morality. The lyrics: 'I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made' A reference to The Hundred Years' War a series of armed conflicts between the kingdoms of England and France during the Late Middle Ages. As for Jagger's voice it's fabulous, perfect for the song, a mixture of hauteur, contempt, derision and mockery filtered through a camp Dylanesque Blues drawl; perfect for the character of Lucifer, 'A man of

The kings and queens fighting the war for decades was referring to the Hundred Years War. Every reference in this song is accurate. The song asks a lot of questions about who is really responsible for the evil in the world. The devil's plea is that he didn't actually DO any of these things, rather he merely showed us the opportunity and allowed us to react however we saw fit.

That is often the theme with any media focusing on the Devil. The book and miniseries Good Omens had a demon who had to do very little since humans were doing all the evil themselves. Humans have more imagination than any demon (Or angel). It was similar with the show Lucifer. The demons, angels and even Lucifer did not need to do evil or good things. More than anything else, the demons and angels tended to be incredibly dumb.

I'd say this tune right here "Sympathy For The Devil" also played a very pinnacle point in the Stones life & music career my friend. SFTD was the song the Stones were playing @Altamont in '69 when a fan in the crowd was killed by the Hells Angels. AKA the end of the 60's. Just saying... Although, Gimme Shelter is also intertwined with the conflict that day, no doubt. ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend++ 🤘😜🤘

Also, I had the chance to see The Rolling Stones back in May of this year. 60+ years and they're still excellent. Mick Jagger is also 81 years young, still singing and dancing like he's in his 20s. Definitely recommend you or anyone to see these guys live, especially who haven't had the chance as of yet!

Almost exactly 30 years ago, on November 25th 1994, I was lucky enough to see the Rolling Stones live in Miami on their Voodoo Lounge tour. The concert was broadcast on I believe Showtime, so it was recorded, and a few years ago I was able to buy a CD/Bluray of the concert. There were many famous guest appearances as a result of the broadcast from such names as Sheryl Crow, Bo Diddley, and Robert Cray. For this song, a giant inflatable devil's head "peering" over the back of the stage looking at the band and the audience popped up. It was stunning and the song had the whole crowd of 80,000 or however much could fit in Dolphin Stadium (at the time named Joe Robbie Stadium) moving and shouting Woo! Woo! I will always treasure my memories of that night and am so glad they released it as Voodoo Lounge Uncut.

Awesome reaction :) Don't forget Lucifer the Lightbringer was just a Fallen Angel, actually God's favourite, his "thing" is all about Free Will. He might tempt you with greed, pride, wealth, but he doesn't commit the evil rarely himself. Later on, starting in the Middle Ages, the church made him into this evil horned creature we know as the Devil/Satan nowadays. It's actually very interesting to read on the mythology and were Lucifer comes from.

17:23 I think your analysis of this song, lyrically speaking, is spot on. Something else I’ve always loved about this song is that the music has a sort-of ramshackle feel to it. Like none of the the individual instruments is playing something that fits in smoothly with what the others are playing. The song feels like it’s about to fall over itself at any moment, propelled along by the backing vocals while “Keef” adds just the right amount of lightning to the storm right at the end. You should try “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”. It’s yet another masterpiece (and much happier than Sympathy For The Devil and WAY happier than Paint It Black).

I love your enthusiasm for new music and you seem to nail the story or meaning behind them every time. This song is, as you guessed, about how people blame the devil for the evils of the world when all of it is done by us. Mick sings from the point of view of the devil or Satan and he mentions lots of atrocities from his perspective. "Who killed the Kennedy's? After all, it was you and me." It's basically the devil saying "I didn't kill Jesus, shoot JFK (and RFK), kill Czar Nicholas and do the French Revolution, it was everyone"

At the funeral, NO ONE showed up except the one friend, who was good man. Though his friend wasn't the nicest person, the good friend still mourned the loss.

*"and all the sinners saints"* - or, some who think they are saints, aren't. Also, the "fought for ten decades for the gods they made" was a reference to the 100 Years War, which was a religious conflict that ravaged Europe on and off for about a century. I think the sympathy part is "you all do terrible stuff, but I get all the blame" - especially when you take in the lyric near the end: "I'll tell you one time, you're to blame"

Stacy if you haven't reacted to "Gimme Shelter" yet then that absolutely needs to be your next Stones song.

I’m surprised reading through the comments that no one mentioned the death that occurred at the Stones 1969 Altamont Festival where a gun wielding 18 year old named Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by 21 year old Hell’s Angel named Alan Passaro. If you listen closer to Woo Woo, think the name “Lu cifer “ then listen again…

You should know that Anita Pallenberg, one of the 2 or 3 most influential people in the Stones orbit in the 60s, is one of the people singing Woo Woo.😮

As lyrics go this is a particularly educated song. Unfortunately, at the time of release those opposed to The Stones took the title of the song out of context. The purpose of the song was to state that throughout history the devil had been blamed for humanity's ills when in fact it was the devil working in tandem with humanity, or even humanity's fault entirely. It's quite a profound concept for a rock n' roll song.

Well, he's their rhythm guitar player, but he's had his share of solos. basically they've always been more of a weave type of guitar band, where the lead and rhythm guitars weave around each other. But in the case of this album in 1968 and Let It Bleed in 1969, most of all the guitars are played by Keith because Brian Jones, the lead guitarist, was incapacitated. Keith was left alone with all the guitar duties, with a couple exceptions, Brian turned up to play the slide guitar in No Expectations and Mick Taylor took the lead guitar in Honky Tonk Woman

@@jeffwatts1126Brian played lead when on the slide guitar, the rest of the time Keith was the lead guitarist in their early days. Honky Tonk Woman was not on the BB album but was a 1969 standalone single and the first track to feature Mick Taylor.

@@jayhpaq Yeah, but Honky Tonk was very much a part of the Let It Bleed sessions, in fact it was the one that they planned to release as the single all along. When it came time for the tour to start the album wasnt quite ready yet, so they released the single and went on tour. That song got yanked off the album, very much like Jumping Jack Flash got yanked off of Beggars, that one due to delays with the album cover. More like fight with the label over the album cover

Granted, I haven't read all the comments, and I could be wrong, but no reaction or comment I've seen mentions the troubadour verse. It refers to former band mate Brian Jones, who died accidentally while traveling after leaving the band. The coroner stated the cause of death, "Death through misadventure."
