Musically, one of the coolest songs ever. The intro is amazing. I used to be a huge Stones fan.

But then I woke up and started realizing that the Stones, as were most musical superstars of the 60's, were stone cold satanists.

Great song to get stuck in your head.

I recall reading about the backup singer who screamed with such energy and made this song what it is. She was apparently pregnant at the time and blames her numerous takes screaming at the top of her lungs as a contributing factor in her miscarraige.

Have heard or read that about some musicians and bands, but never thought of the Stones in this way.

What made you come to this conclusion?

I can fix that for ya. Listen to every one of these versions on Youtube and by the time you get to the last one, the song won't be in your head anymore.



Gimmie Shelter by Rolling Stones

The misogyny -- Under My Thumb is a squirming dog.

The blatant message - Sympathy For The Devil.

And the story I just heard for the first time -- that poor back up singer who screamed "rape, murder" so forcefully that she lost her unborn child.

My mom actually listened to some of the music and broke many of my records -- Sister Morphine really pissed her off.

You could be correct, I'm not doubting it, but drug addicts have pretty wild imaginations and I think that definitely carries over into song writing.

Will do some research on it though, it's got me curious.

I never really listened critically to lyrics of a lot of it until I was well into adulthood, and then I heard for the first time the Beatles singing Run For Your Life if you can little girl, and just started feeling that the music I liked as a stupid kid had an uncomfortable edge to it.

I still like some of the music itself.

It was fun watching my operatic tenor of a husband -- who was quite a bit older than I -- analyze some of the musicality of the bands I liked as a kid. He adored some of Queen's harmonies, especially Bohemian Rhapsody, of course.

No idea, but Puddle of Mud did the best cover so far, and I'm only back to 2011 in the list....

One band that I was never into as a kid but learned to like as an adult is Iron Maiden.

A lot of their song titles and lyrics involve Heaven, Hell and Biblical type events. As a kid I always looked at them as possible devil worshippers and it kept me from being a fan.

About 5 years ago I stumbled across their documentary "Flight 666" while channel surfing and boy am I glad I did. I've been a fan ever since. Not only are they great musicians but Bruce Dickenson is hands down one of the best rock lead singers of all time.

The drummer (Nicko McBrain) is a self proclaimed Christian and after watching the documentary and then buying and listening to their music, my perception of them changed.

Sure, I'm not really a fan of some of their song titles like "Number of the Beast". But musically, they are one of the best I've ever heard.

If you like rock music, you owe it to yourself to watch that documentary. The film follows the band on the first leg of their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour in February and March 2008, during which they travelled on their own customized Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which used the call-sign "666". Bruce Dickenson is also the pilot.


Just a sample.
