Not true rolling stones, cause no jones no Stones

@@Adit_Fadil Absurd comment. History has proved he was irrelevant for the band's success, achieving it's true identity with Richard's and Jagger's involvement, taking it to a legend status.

@@rubenlopezusa History has proven that Jones was the founder of Rolling Stone and made him a band. Imagine if Jones had'nt died at a young age, Rolling Stone could have become a big band because of Jones.

low budget if you take out of the bill all the stuffs they were on during the recording 😅

Me, me, me!!! I'm a STONES........ FAN! PROUD OF IT! THANK GOD FOR THE STONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for share this. I didn´t know about it.

His a god dam legend

Yes, a treasure. Perfect description of this classic. I grew up with all their songs in the 60s, but Waiting just might be my favorite Stones tune.

To me the saxophone makes this song great

Thanks for recognizing his contribution 👍, probably the best 😏 all time .

Simply brilliant

Saxophone is awesome!

Sax solo is by legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins!

@@nickarne5670 He had been very dismissive of the Stones until their paths crossed some how !!?

​@@petermills542I understand his wife persuaded him to do it. Sonny is on record as liking the Beatles... the Stones, not so much...

​@@nickarne5670 just read it in his bio. Great story on this song and album.

I understand that feeling... Two brothers who will forever be in my heart...they are the ones that were a true solid "Stones" Fan that made me understand what the meaning of friends/brothers ment. RIP my dear friends...

❤

Exactly.

Hi Dorothy 💐💐

what a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my beauty

He w@s indeed.

Charlie was so great!❤

Ya re very very young and have never met, Charlie! Right? He was a Rolling Stone..💋

Agreed…Jagger too self loving and aware .!love their music though..

Bill & Charlie look like fun. I'd rather hang out with them :)

Yeah, so many bands have trouble getting along.

Gotta love the stones

Eileen he had good taste

So sorry for your loss. He was so young, now he's an Angel 😇

RIP little bro...

Oh, Eileen, so sorry to hear about your little brother. Every time I hear this song, it too reminds me of a family member. My little sister passed almost 14 years ago and she and I used to sing this song in the car when we would go shopping. She LOVED this song. Many blessings to you, Eileen.

RIP to your baby brother, sweetheart. ♥️🍃🙏🍃♥️

Unfortunately neither you, i or anyone else including the stones can do that, so enjoy your time now and it's perfectly ok to listen back to the great songs of those days, we all do it and that's fine by me 🎉

Cheers 🥂 ! Ohio ......

​​​​​@@MShep-mh5xo 96 & 98 St Marks Place NYC ! not that I'm American, just have both albums 😄

Shining brilliant saxophone track

Did you read Mick's quote about this on the songs Wikipedia page?

Yes!!!! Thank you … I love this song and it was Sonny Rollins soloing that completes the perfect vibe.. also … that’s Peter Tosh on the stoop sitting with Mick and Keith

Rolling Stones are still far better than some bands currently.

They didn’t meet trends for many of those early years, for instance through Beatlemania

Greatest band in the world👅👅👅

@@janetsheehan9870 agree 100% the best by far

@@greekstud100 🐾🐾🐾

Lmfaooooooo

So he has at least 500,000 years left...Nice!

that's hilarious! He and Bowie both but since david's no longer here, keith gets all

@@rosemarymills1671 check my music out, a fan of Keith is a fan of me 😉

@@paulssounds7129 will do...I've got hi expectations :)

Indeed, SMOOTH, AND DIRECT,EASY LISTENING.

@@twelvepolesdaroot8309 ,

ACDC

No argument here.

Soo true 😘

Carlo Leggareta been a fan since I was 10 after hearing beast of burden & start me up in a ford commercial.

Me

Grew up listening..I was 4 & my big brother had vinyl "Some Girls"- Album cover.. used to play with the wigs& seeing them on each Stone😂

I'm AcTuAlLy A fAn!!1!

Me I'm the biggest stones fan and I love this one Michigan Dearborn born and raised 1950 born listen to all the stones and some of the Beatles

Hell yeah!!!❤

Beatles. bar none. Thank you England for all of the great bands!

The Beatles were a pop band, a very good one, yes. The Rolling Stones set out to be a blues band, and they definitely are, and yet, they became the greatest rock and roll band of all time!!!! I think they probably invented rock and roll!!!!!

Except the Who also the best

the Hits are all R&R...The Who a bit more prolific...Yet when the Stones lock in makes me think of no one else

You got that right! Keith is wonderful ❤

the king of new York

Like a fine bottle of wine....

Keef Is special Our kind and snob pirate

Guys high as giraffe nuts on heroin 😆

Welcome aboard and check out all their stuff from 1960-1970’s

check out tops as long as youre checkin out tattoo you

@@TC-dw6wg Riiiight, all the treasures. I woke up to Cant You Hear Me Knockin. O yeah, Stones fan for life

Hey its awesome man classic rock and Legends of all times stones rock

Been a fan since the seventies first saw them live on the still life tour 1982 London Wembley Oh boy it was if I saw the second coming Couldn’t take it all in, they were banging, I melted ... You check my favs paint it black and gimme shelter They still give me goosebumps today ..( T.J.)

Sonny Rollins, legendary jazz saxophonist... One of the all-time greats. The Stones had initially recorded the backing music with Mick Taylor on guitar back in 1972 when they made "Goats Head Soup". But it never made it onto that album and it was left unfinished without the sax or any of the words. The recording was revived 7 years later while the Stones were making "Tattoo You". They needed a sax player for this and two other songs and so Mick gave Sonny a call. (I love his confidence. "Yeah, we'll just hire a living legend to play on our album..." Haha!!) Sonny Rollins was going to turn down the gig because had a typical snobby jazz elitist attitude towards rock and wasn't much of a Stones fan. From the little he'd heard of their music, he thought they were "highly-derivative" of American blues. But his manager/wife wouldn't hear of it. She told him, "No, you MUST do it.." They had some problems nailing the part. They weren't on the same page. Eventually Sonny told Mick, "Look, you just stand right here next to me, tell me exactly where you want me to play and DANCE the part out"... Which Mick did!! Thank God it all worked out in the end.. It took a while, but is pure magic... One of their best.

The great Sonny Rollins on the sax!

When comparing all the other performances of this song , covers and by the stones themselves, nothing comes close to this recording with sax and the main guitar riff, i never get sick of hearing the flowing compositions, cheers now.

@@carlmarks8170 What a great post. I wouldn't have got this much info from Google. I'm a rock guy and I know about the Snobby attitude and all that. But all of us Rock Guys love these so called living legends because we adore their music. I love this post and Sonny Rollins wife for pushing him into doing it. What a great sound Sonny produced with one note that sounds like a sound wave itself. That's what these guys get paid for and they know it. May the Cosmos spin your way for all.

One of those bridge songs between the '70s and the '80s. It had mainly a '70s feel to it but hinting of the '80s and what was to come. The true "80s" sound though ended early, in '87. After that it was pretty much all downhill, with few exceptions.

Well said

Amen brother, well put

The gods are gonna be waiting on Keffi for a while .

Jesus, you callous morbid fuck!

@@latetodagame1892 laugh all you want. Now but it will be to late when the time comes on judgment day when jesus says to you depart from me for I never knew you god. Have mercy on your soul !!!!!!!!

Sonny Rollins....legend.

Yes that guy can play this socks and he's good looking he can show me how to play this his saxophone anytime

This was The album that really hooked me on them "Tatoo you" and yess better than any shrink!

Dude sun. Ocean. What more can a lady want?

Yeah. Have you heard the music on the phone when the shrink puts you on hold?!

So true.Definetly therapeutic. And the message.Awesome.

Michael Hernandez exactly!

What are some of his favorite tracks??

The Rolling Stones are the best.

Vc é encantadora

Amber pulga vc é especial como essa música dos Rolling Stones

That riff man....the tone rips in and takes me back like time travel man....so sweet.

it speaks truth out loud

@@trickster_zxz2701 LEDs goll beyb

I was 15 when it came out, loved this album. Didn’t see the video until many years later. Anyway, I appreciate this song so much more now that I’m 56 as opposed to 15, lol!

If you are listening to this song since it came out then you are staying young. Best band ever to drink beer too, and lift weights as well.

Start Me Up from '81 is much better.

OK Jill 18 in 1981 & 1 was 38. Agree 100% - As you say we all love these comments and stay connected.

Me too class of 80 I turned 18 June of 80

🎉😅

You got that right brother

Yep first good comment,I read hear! Great and honestly! Ya re the kind of people,I like 💕! Best wishes from Austria 🇦🇹

Until you change your ways all you will do is wait, wIt and wait!

Right back at you.

As long as I have been listening to the radio. 3rd or 4th grade listening to heartbreaker and brown sugar and get off my cloud. Glad to be alive at the same time as these guys.

❤❤❤❤

That goes for male and female you can very easily say something to a pretty little heart thing that will get her head straight again

So true !!

👍🏼My fav line too! ❣💔❣

@@DMBGirl1234 haha mine to :) With Rainbow's Rainbow eyes 'all the lights have died somehow Or were they ever there'

Absolutely correct

The best!

That's a rock star for us. 👅👅👅👅💨💨💨💨💨

I do! They are the only 6 star rating in the Rolling Stone Magazine to me!

@@tca90210 hey dude no problem they are the band of the world to me from 13 to now this DATE IM 72. They to this day RULE MY 🌎 & MY LIFE. I NEVER MISS A CONCERT, MY place has membranes of many things in the Stones line. My tee shirts ... I proudly expose my love for him the best is a logo on line the covid mast I have

Mask o have that mo one has & it's quite the attraction. 👅👅👅👅💨💨💨💯

@@geristracener5253 You're a man of culture I see 👌🏼

I'm a Keith fan, but I agree. Age does bring some wisdom to some people.

a fart butt

So chill 🤩

Sooo righttt..! 😔😑😊

It’s the Sonny Rollins tenor sax that really makes it work for me-so mellow and smooth but soulful.

Sax in rock n roll is really good, it suits the Stones & Springsteen anyhows.

You nail it dude.

I noticed on a lot of other videos and live performances Mick does that twirling motion and looks like a helicopter taking off 😂the gymnastics and dancing is kinda what makes him Mick

@@janiceellery1653too funny!!😂🎉😂

I hear it on the radio stations I listen too. I also request it from time to time.

This got a lot of play on the radio and still does as much as Beast of Burden around here. Maybe where you live just sucks for radio.

Matt Celis literally never heard this on any radio station, ever. wherever i’ve lived.

just a suggestion for anyone who isnt hearing what they like on the radio. just use a playlist on spotify 4HEad. even if you are too lazy to make your own, there are thousands of playlists with exactly what you want (assuming you are a classic rock normie). :)

I'm 41 and I just wish I could a saw them in their prime

Sonny Rollins is indisputably one of the greatest sax players of all time.

Sonny Rollins I think, yep a great solo

I was thinking the exact same thing, very moving sax part!

Lucky enough to see them live in Vancouver on the Voodoo Lounge tour. I got to see Bill and Charlie play toghether. Rolling Stones forever!!😂

It was at Rogers Arena, so the sound was not as good as Pacific Coliseum, the best acoustics ever! Anyone heard a concert there? Woo hoo, yeah°°

Thanks for sharing that. May God give you comfort.

Sorry to hear about your Brother. He's smiling down on you now and is right by your side right now while you are listening to this amazing Stones song

@Redrum No sir it was a kidney disease, please more respect someday you will pass away in overdose maybe.

@@michaelphilip3926 many thanks for your words, I appreciate it.

Love ya man ! And we sure love your bro! At least I do if he was awesome enough to dedicate this to ya little bro. Don't forget when we all go we'll be by each other's side bro ! Think of it. We'll be there with you. Much love dude !

Amen!!!!

...and it will keep us sane in 2022 :)

tracey szostek I am

So I work part-time evenings in a bar by the bus station and we see girls passing by all the time. But yeah, most of us are just waiting on friends.

tracey szostek : I Gracefully, Am -Tracey -( At Mazatlán, México 🇲🇽) Warm Greetings !!! Thanks 🕊🙏☮️🌹💜💝

I like this song so much it got feeling inside of me I'm waiting for friend to a girl

everynight l listening this song before a sleep

Good genes; his mother lived into her nineties, and father into his mid eighties. Lots of LUCK, too!!

Nothing snort of a miracle!

Man I wish I was high as he was in this video....; nodding strong on the steps lol.

ha ha

Well think about it the rolling Stones like a lot of other Rock & roll groups they had to go get their blood filtered out transfusions get rid of all the nasty stuff drugs whatever you know what I'm talking about and it got brand new blood and that's what keeps him going

Mick shagged guys too, not only pretty ladies, fyi lol

The greatest rock and roll band. Period

C C Yeah, you would be the one to bring that up

Sounds like a fun life!

I wish the devil valued my soul as much, think I would be more than tempted! Lol
