All the glory of this song goes to Merry Clayton. This tired, pregnant woman dragged herself out of bed in the middle of the night to record the most powerful backing track in history. I wish I could thank her personally.

Merry's singing is unsurpassed but the glory of the record has to go to Keith Richards, who wrote the music, did the arrangement and played both guitar parts, which drive the song.

Arguably The Rolling Stones’ best song. Amazing guitar layering that they’re known for.. But it’s Merry Clayton’s outstanding backing/duet vocals that make this song IMO. The Stones’ producer called a pregnant, sleeping Merry Clayton in the middle of night to come lay down vocals; she arrived with curlers in her hair and nailed those crazy lyrics in 2 takes🔥 Sadly her attempt at launching a successful solo career never manifested. But her powerhouse vocal on this track will forever stand the test of time. 👏🏼

Her vocals reached beyond comprehension in this song. You can even hear Mic yell a “Whoo” at that pivotal peak in her chorus line “Rape , Murder” . If you get a chance watch “20 feet from stardom” on Netflix . It’s about the ICONIC back up singers from back in the day who performed with major headlining bands. ✌🏼

"Gimme Shelter" is a masterpiece. Powerful then, and powerful now. One of my all time favorite Stones songs. Mick Jagger said this about the song in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone magazine: "Well, it's a very rough, very violent era. The Vietnam War. Violence on the screens, pillage and burning. And Vietnam was not war as we knew it in the conventional sense. The thing about Vietnam was that it wasn't like World War II, and it wasn't like Korea, and it wasn't like the Gulf War. It was a real nasty war, and people didn't like it. People objected, and people didn't want to fight it ... That's a kind of end-of-the-world song, really. It's apocalypse; the whole record's like that." And sadly Merry Clayton had a miscarriage after singing this.

The Rolling Stones thought so much of Gimme Shelter they made a whole movie based on the recording of the song and the U.S. tour that was happening at the same time. It ends at the infamous free concert at Altamont Speedway in December 1969, where four people died, including one on-screen murder, and three babies were born. The young lady, at the time, who does the Rape, Murder line, Mary Clayton, is the sister of Little Feat Conga player and sometime Vocalist Sam Clayton. Great reaction dude.

From what I remember of the story, it goes that when they hired the Hell’s Angels for the concert, they had mistaken the criminal biker gang for the casual British motorcycle club, also called Hell’s Angels. While they thought they were just gettin a couple tough guys for show, they ended up getting a band of felons. They seemingly had no idea who it was they had hired and it was an unmitigated disaster. Although it was an honest mistake they were associated together for some time and had the positive and negative effect of making them seem darker and more dangerous than they were trying to be. Which made the parents more afraid of, and the kids fall even more in love with, them. Wild times, indeed!

So they decided to have a man call for shelter and a woman call out “rape murder”.

The promoters hired the security, not the stones. Apparently the payment was beer, don't know if that's totally true but it sounds about right.

@LeGrandSarrazin 3 года назад

@@artsilva Oh ofc, the band rarely makes those sorts of calls. It was implied management made that one.

I've heard this show was credited for the first mosh pit.

Don't let figuring out the lyrics, get in the way of enjoying the song. We all figure stuff like that out a couple listens in, but we don't have an audience. Banger of a song.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Video has officially been stricken speechless. Someone write this sh*t down. Great reaction, man. Great song.

I agree; when a song warrants it, go back and dig a little deeper.

The ‘rock and roll circus’ live versions of Sympathy for The Devil and You Can’t Always Get What You Want (from 1968) are insane - in every sense of the word - and you never forget them once you’ve seen them! Amazing!

I feel he is saying "children" meaning us.. the youngsters he was talking to at the time.. it was what.. 1969 or 1970 when that song came out.. times were different.. instead of "dudes" it was "cats"...man, that cat was really tripping hard.. I don't think he meant literal children. What is so bad-ass about this song is the lady who sang her ass off.. 9 months pregnant in the middle of the night. I saw an interview with her where she said... "I'm fixing to blow the roof off of this place".. and she did just that. Remarkable!!!

@joannparker1977 3 года назад

This song isn’t a metaphor. It’s about something horrible that happened in history. To the children in Vietnam during the war. A VERY dark and disturbing song.

My favorite Stones song!! Merry Clayton's vocals give me the chills to this day!

@debbiedebster5806 3 года назад

Love the Stones! Agree with all recommendations, especially Sympathy for the Devil & Paint it Black! Great reaction as always!😉

Ok to not comment on a song. For or against is your prerogative, ok to let it stand on its own and reserve your comment.

@chrisnewton5126 3 года назад

The Stone's "Heartbreaker" also apropos for our time especially re: BLM.

@christinerobinson9372 3 года назад

"Wild Horses (couldn't drag me away)". Excellent reaction today. The song is moving. Your reaction was moving.

@Banned4Life 3 года назад

I stand by this - Merry Clayton's vocals here are the best vocals ever recorded, on any song, ever. Technique, meaning, context.

@daveking9393 3 года назад

I saw the Stones almost 30 years ago on their Voodoo Lounge tour & again about 5 years ago. Both stadium shows. Amazing 🔥🔥🔥. Mick Jagger still runs around like a teenager. I wish I had half of his energy!
