The reason it sounds new and fresh is because songs like this are timeless.

Best way to describe the Stones - controlled chaos, and damned good chaos too!

Still my fave Stones song......and in my top 3 songs of all time. A masterpiece that captured the social unrest and upheaval of the time. Genius!

Hi James, you mentioned the background vocals. The reason they stood out to you is because, the genius of The Rolling Stones - beyond the fact that they're amazing musicians and showman - but the one thing they do better than any other Rock 'n' Roll band, is they knew how to find the perfect hook for the song. They knew how to find these genius little riffs that hook you and draw you right into the song. For example In the song "Satisfaction" - the hook is in that guitar riff - and in "Sympathy For the Devil" they put it in the background vocals.

(the real thing)

A song that most reactors never get to and it's soooooo fine. Fingerprint File. That or Dead Flowers. I'd be thrilled if you reacted to either one. Thank you for the excellent reaction.

The shaking sound is probably the maracas or alfuche cabasa. The working title of this song was "Who killed Kennedy" by the time it got to the studio it was called "The face of man" before ending on Sympathy for the Devil. Mick claims its about the evil within all of us.

This one killed me! I couldn't wait to watch your reaction to a song I know is great. But here's the thing, I hadn't heard this song for years and forgot how truly great it is myself. I was amazed all over again and felt like I was sharing it with a friend for the first time too. I've been doing my part to self isolate during Covid the best I can and really miss all the social interaction we used to have. Videos like yours help make it easier. Thanks for that!

For decades they were the bad boys of rock. That image was forever cemented in people's minds after the infamous Altamont Speedway Concert.

I'd recommend reacting to "Can't Always Get What You Want" live at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Mick Jagger at his most bad-ass awesomeness!

The “lyric” video is worth watching- artistic and you get to see the powerful words about war and other evils in this world.

This is REAL MUSIC! There is so much for you to hear.

Fresh for sure. What a great jam. Nothing like getting a whole party to sing this song.

the percussion part was created and played by a great percussionist from West Africa playing in London at the time...his part pulls the whole arrangement together

She's A Rainbow, Hearbreaker, Brown Sugar, Shattered, so many, you can't miss with the Stones James.

The problem isn't the "version" of the song. You seem to react more to the video than the song sometimes, and a lot of the stuff out there is fandom edits. This is about as official and original as it gets, studio album. Look for an album cover or a lyrics video would be my suggestion. Like Queen, it is possible that the Stones had a bad studio album. And the sun might rise in the west.

You've got to do "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" next. It's a straight banger. The extended jam at the end of it is just vibey as hell.

Stones song "2000 Light Years From Home" shows some versatility too _ It is from "Their Satanic Majesties Request" album

Most of the band are now about 75 years old and have never lost their enthusiasm and Mike Jagger is just fantastic on stage

This song is so appropriate now.

Jumping Jack Flash, Miss You, Street Fighting Man, Paint It Black, Tumbling Dice, Undercover of the Night, etc. It's a very deep rabbit hole.

Just took my son to see them in LA. Amazing as usual. I’ve had the great privilege of seeing them 3 times. EPIC!!!

Ur right! So much of that era’s songs are still fresssh! That time was a phenomenon

There’s a reason why the stones are legends it’s songs like these that are timeless and have an air of mystery to them

My dog would howl like crazy at this song Woo Woo😂. Not a Stones fan, but from back in my day its timeless music. Peace to you❤

Can't you hear me knocking by the Stones has a super sax. Incredible.

There's a documentary of them putting this song together called "Sympathy for the Devil".

Fantastic, timeless song. Good reaction too!

I’m 35 and this song reminds me of riding around with my dad listening to music 🎶 love it!

It's a testament to the Stones how their music is truly timeless. I would love to see this song dropped randomly on an FM station with no intro from the DJ.

Hey James, glad you enjoyed this song👍. My favorite parts are the different percussion sounds....the conga drum and that bead shaking you hear is the Maraca or Rumba Shaker 😁✌

I'm 72 and at the time, the Rolling Stones were the bad boys and the Beatles those that parents more or less accepted.Personally I loved both, but the Stones on stage (the very best) and the Beatles, well those who had the best melodies

Satisfaction was their first huge hit and defined their career.

This is my favorite song. The tempo, the mix of instruments, the lyrics...it has such a distinct atmosphere. The song just feels so powerful.

There's a video of this song with creative lyrics that are just as startling as the song itself. This song is also what led parents and religious types to thing The Rolling Stones were satan worshippers, an image that bothered Mick Jagger, and what prompted him to write the song "Dancing With Mr. Dr.". The4 lyrics are very profound.

It tells a story.. from the side of the Devil. He's there from the beginning of time when all the awful bullshit happens.. but it's our fault! See what I mean?? 💙🎼🎸✌️

@@roberts6865 good point. Although some Christian’s might say people do evil things because the Devil has ahold of them. The song definitely references a list of horrible historical events that were acts of man. So you’re thinking it’s like -have sympathy for me because you (humans) did this stuff... not me (the Devil)... hence Sympathy for the Devil.

The Stones played a concert on Rio De Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach in 2006 and 1.5 million people attended that show, one of the largest shows in rock history!

I love watching this journey of discovery you are on. There are countless sublime pieces of music out there to discover. It makes one feel good to see another soul nurtured and thriving off this gear. The Stones are magnificent.

First time I heard it was probably in ‘69 on a scratchy car radio near U of New Hampshire where I attended college. All of us in the car were blown away-it was so powerful and unique -that’s the Stones at their best. The crazed world today in 2021 fits it as much as the wild late 60’s.

Now that's a song!!. Epic!!🤘🤘🎶🎶

Speaking of the small things how bout that piano playing by Nicky Hopkins it just adds so much to the song along with everything else it’s just an incredible song this is the Stones at their very best.🎼🎤🎼🎹🎼🥁🎼🎸🎼🎸🎼

Saw them in Columbus OH a couple of years ago. You new you were watching masters of their craft on every song. Paint it Black is my favorite Stones song

It is a testament to your brains to listen to this song and others like it.

Timeless, as Jamel told us!

Tumbling Dice 🎲 always gets me in the mood 😁F'in Rock in.

And I quote, “Who are The Rolling Stones?”

You're totally right. The fact they only used piano and percussion, bass and lead guitar without any production trick of the 70's makes it traveling through time without damage

Down the Stones rabbit hole! My favorite rock band of all time👍🏾👵🏿🤗. Really listen to these lyrics. I like the way you always encourage and empower people.

Love the stones.. great song ..

I love your reactions.. they are always so thoughtful and smart.

This song is especially relevant today as we go through a very volatile time, a message that can be addressed to a certain socio-political party of the last couple years and the events that are a result of.

Dude nailed the review. Well done.

Time Waits for No One. Has a build that'll make you shiver the first hearing.

Timeless, I love the Stones and up until this year, they were still touring @ 70 lol. I have seen them live twice!! Great show!

Re the "Hoo-Hoo" - From Wikipedia: "The backing "who who-woo-woo' vocals, which helped to make the song's sound stand out, came about by accident thanks to Jimmy Miller and Anita Pallenberg. Pallenberg was in the engineering booth with Miller while Jagger was belting out an early vocal take of the song. According to Pallenberg, Miller was half talking to himself as Jagger sang, saying stuff like "Come on Mick, give it your all, who are you singing about? - Who, who?" He then repeated "Who who" several times after that as Jagger sang on, and Pallenberg realized how wonderful that all sounded. After the take, she told Jagger what transpired in the booth and suggested that "who who" be used in the song as a backing vocal chant. The Stones then gave it a go and after the first take, 'Who who" became "woo-woo". . . "

Nicky Hopkins piano is just perfect

That sound is a shekere. Nice to see you young kids listening to some real music. Thanks! 66 year old dude from Amsterdam.

This is one of my fave songs (my mom had *all* Stones and Beatles records - I'm so blessed) Gimme Shelter is another Stones song you should listen to...

Bill Wyman's bass groove on this song is so nasty...

The instruments with the shaking sound are maracas(a rattle type instrument). Another group that uses them in their music is The Monkees. I was lucky to be born in 1963 and although my parents and grandparents hated and forbade rock music in their homes,there were radios with all kinds of music everywhere else. I love the rock sounds of the 50s,60s,70s,80s and 90s especially but even a lot of the 21st artists and music varieties are awesome too. I even love the " pre- rock" sound of "Swing Music"( circa 1930s - early 1950s...and especially love Louis Jordan's music. The band music song " In The Mood" would be considered in "Swing style"). Music is universal and timeless. I would suggest an awesome group called Playing For Change(PFC). They promote music education/appreciation and world peace by choosing one song and having singers,dancers,musicians around the world play it together. It's been a thing for about 20 years now but is still mind blowing to witness and I highly recommend them. They also help other non profit organizations that work to house the homeless,feed the hungry, work to end poverty, etc. With love from Maine, USA 💕💕💕💕 🖖👍👍👍

The Rolling Stones are such a foundational band - they took bits and pieces of Rhythm and Blues, Rock and Roll, Little of this and Little of that and make all their own - No Other Band Sounds like the Rolling Stones. When the Record comes on you instantly know it's the Rolling Stones - few other bands have achieved that. So unique and so vibrant and so much energy is in their songs. I think the instrument you heard was a tambourine - it looks like a small drum what think little metal discs on the side - it makes a sort of a jingling sound and has a bit of percussion when your hand strikes it. A lot of 60s bands and mostly lead singers used it as an accent instrument. Harmonica is also an accent instrument. You know the drums, guitar, keys are all primary instruments that carry the load but bringing in accent instruments like the Tambourine or the Harmonica really can add a unique sound and punch when brought in the right places in a song. Great review as always keep up the great work!

The Stones, who I saw in 1981, have a huge catalog...If you have Amazon or Apple Music grab all their albums and sit back....

So many of these Rolling Stones are driven by percussion instruments like Maracas,they use it to great effect,like "Paint It Black"

Mick wrote this after reading “The Master and Margarita”, where the Devil (in disguise) goes to St Petersburg(?) and gives people what they deserve. A scene is set with Pilate making the decision about Jesus.

This is timeless music, you are correct.

One of my all time favorites by the Stones is Harlem Shuffle.

You Can't Always Get What You Want - best Rolling Stones song, IMO

My favorite Stones song sooo ahead of their time with this song the lyrics are so incredible.

It IS on the radio now! At least in the UK on general music stations as opposed to stations that are for a specific music style. The Rolling Stones, Beatles, The Supremes, Louis Armstrong, ELO, Santanna and so so many more never go out of style here on the radio and can be heard right after music of this millenium or even this decade. Even the MTV generation were exposed to wide range of music rather than just latest or just (e.g.) Country & Western.

The Stones are one of the beat, they have so many songs

As soon as I saw you dancing in your seat I knew you liked the song :D
