The guitar player and writer of this song was the "Great," Lesley West. He died about a year ago in his mid 70s. This song is iconic in Rock Music.
I heard an interview with Leslie and he talked about the origins of Mississippi Queen crediting his drummer Corky Lange with the lyrics.
MOUNTAIN, "MISSISSIPPI QUEEN" The great Guitarest, and lead man Leslie West. Rest in peace. This RIFF IS Unmistakable. More 70'S FIRE 🔥
One of the greatest rock riffs of all time ... you can't sit still to this one
Bro!!!.....U r hearing a CLASSIC BANGER!!!! I've heard this covered so many times!!
Good choice!!!
Leslie told a great story of meeting Jimi Hendrix.Jimi told him he really dug the riff on Mississippi Queen.Leslie said none of his friends could say shit to him since then
Leslie Weinstein had a killer guitar tone. Born in New York died in Florida RIP Lealie. Rockin in heaven
Gotta say it. MORE COWBELL! And more Leslie West and Felix Pappallardi. An original Heavy Metal classic. Mountain ROCKS! BTW, Vicksburg is a river town along the Mississippi River, in Mississippi. It was the sight of a major battle during the U.S. Civil War, eventually won by the Union forces, led by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, later a President of the USA.
Always More Cowbell. It's mandatory. Lol.
@@spikebeans9563 As General Grant might say, "More cowbell, that's an order."
one of the coolest early hard rock songs....late 60s....its legendary
Such a great album- early 70’s.
Theme From an Imaginary Western, Never in My Life, Nantucket Sleigh ride, For Yasgers Farm….
This song was a huge inspiration for young rock n rollers and has been a staple on FM rock stations since it came out in 1970. it is a one hit wonder, but Leslie West, the guitarist and singer made some albums on his own with lots of collabs with other musicians. His cover of When a Man Loves a Woman with Jonny Lang is very good, very bluesy.
Btw, Johnnie Lang's > Lie To Me < is worth a listen 🎶 👌 😉 ♥️
This is a song that you crank the radio up in the car, sing or lip-sync to, and hope you don't get a speeding ticket. The intro uses a cow bell (MORE COW BELL!!) that became an instrument in the mid-70's by several groups. BTW: Vicksburg, MS is the site of a large Civil War battle that went on at the same time as Gettysburg and was over-shadowed by it.
New Yawk hard rockin' group. One of those bands who are credited with the birth of heavy metal and deservedly so. So many HEAVY tunes to explore here! Cow bell baby!
' Nantucket sleighride ' is the song you want to do from this band. Absolutely beautiful track
🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
Leslie West, the singer had a great sense of humor. He had a small part in the 80’s comedy The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long.
That movie's funny as hell 🤣 I never knew he was in it. What part did He play?
@@blueyzblue6391 he played one of the Cheap Girls band members.
Hard to believe this song is almost 55 years old. We lost the great Leslie West within the last year (vocalist and guitar).
Leslie West had that dirty dirty tone on his guitar
This is a fine example of classic southern Rock
The great Leslie West on lead guitar and vocals! RIP! Try A Theme From An Imaginary Western!
That guitar at 4:02 just became sentient.
Hey Biz. My old band "Harvest" opened for Mountain at the Ritz theater in New York in 1970! Got to meet the members of the band which was really cool. Check out some more songs by Mountain, I think you will like them. Peace. John.
This still gets regular rotation on my playlist. The lyrics went over my head when I first heard it as a youngster but I really dug the groove.
Mountain were an incredible band. I saw them from the 2nd row in Hawaii at an outdoor amphitheater and they were so loud that a minute into the first song they blew out the power in Honolulu! While it took almost 15 minutes to restore juice, nobody complained because we had heard how great it was going to sound! A magical night under the stars in tropical paradise. Yes to all the songs mentioned, plus "Don't Look Around" and "Blood Of The Sun". One of my favorite bands of all time!
Love the dirty guitar
West was one of the greatest Power Chorders of all time!
I am really digging your reactions to the music I grew up listening to.
One of the greats Leslie West. This song my friend is over 50 years old. Ya know what I mean Ty for keepin it alive
You'll get stank face from this one🤘
Another Ny cat Leslie west was a monster on 🎸 guitar 🎧
Love the reaction, you were feeling it!
Rock In Peace Leslie & Felix.
From Mountain, check out: Theme For An Imaginary Western, Nantucket Sleighride, Never In My Life, For Yasgur's Farm
That's the legendary Leslie West on guitar and lead vocals here. RIP....
You are how I start my day!!!☮️❤️
😁😁🙏🏿🙏🏿
Love it!❤
“That’s how the white man plays the guitar” - Stone Cold 😂😂😂 plays in my head everytime i hear it (longest yard)
Mountain could be described as 2 bands in 1. With Leslie West (guitar) doing the vocals, you get rough and raw like Mississippi Queen. With Felix Pappalardi (bass) doing the vocals you get a smoother, more polished sound. Check out Nantucket Sleighride and/or Theme for an Imaginary Western... sounds like a different band.
This song was the genesis of Heavy Metal.
I was lucky enough to see Mountain at Randall`s Island in New York city in 1970. They tore the place up.
This song is so fire 🔥🔥
"Never in my Life", is a great one, too!
The QUEEN Kicks Ass.....always did....always will
Great song Biz, I was jammin with ya.thanks👍😁
Great music from middle school years 😆
One of my favorites! Kicks ass!
Thank you so so much 👏👏👏
The YTuber Tim Pierce has a cool recent video where he goes over how Leslie got his tone on this song. If you
are guitar nerd, it is worth checking it out.
Great reaction, Leslie West, The Best!
Most of the classic rock from the 60's and 70's was rock-blues fusion, including Led Zeppelin, the Stones etc. So you nailed it.
Love hearing this! ❤️🔥
Hell yeah! Love this song! They played at Woodstock. They've got some heavy, what I would call psychedelic music. Nantucket sleighride is good but it's almost 20 minutes long. Something like that. I just know it's long. I don't know if you would enjoy it or not. You might, but something tells me you wouldn't. Won't know unless you listen. Peace!
Saw them at Mitch Ryders Club in Detroit. They were at Woodstock! 🙏🇺🇸💪
Always loved West's leads and tone. He usually took the less is more approach similar to BB King.
BB once said something about guitarists that played fast and used a lot of notes, " I hear you talking a lot, but you ain't saying nothing". Maybe not the exact quote, but it was something like that.
You picked a good one Bizmatic. This is a classic and very iconic rock song.
This is the Blues!!! Just played very loudly!!!!
Harry Pendleton was once the owner of the famous "Marquee Club" in London, England. The Marquee is where everybody wanted to play. All great bands of the sixties and seventies have had a gig there. Kinks, Small Faces. The Who, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Lou Reed, Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Neil Young, Ten Years After, Atomic Rooster and some. As such, in 1983, he was able to invite former bands who had performed at his club over the years and as 1983 was the 25th year Pendleton own the Marquee he was able to get some of the older bands. I played congas with Alvin Lee around a campfire near the river Thames with a blow this size. Good times, Bizz. Good times.
Great analysis as always, Biz. Love hearing you describe your thoughts on classic music that I love so much. 👍🏻
l also always loved West, Bruce and Laing album Why Dontcha especially the song "The Doctor".
1970.....2nd gen heavy blues rock with some melodic stuff too... from Long Island NY.... Not really metal (though Eddie Van Halen was a huge fan of guitar/singer Leslie West). Somewhat a successor to Cream and other earlier heavy guitar bands that paved the way (like Hendrix, Zeppelin, Jeff Beck etc.... Nazareth who came slightly later is a great comparison.
Black Label Society ~ Zakk Wylde "In this river"
Yes! Nazareth is a good comparison. I never noticed that before. Good call
Biz you see it in the comments. The late great Mr. West. Keep it simple, keep it hard, keep it dirty. You know this tune with the first few notes.
Released 1970 I read. Great song.
Seen Mountain twice. First at the 1982 Reading Rock Festival where they were guests of the organisor Harold "Harry" Pendleton (along with "Ten Years After", "Atomic Rooster" and "Stan Webb's Chicken Shack"). Second as openers for Deep Purple on their 1985 European tour at the Limburg Hall in Genk, Belgium. Great live band. Randy West was a good singer and a great guitar player. Under-estimated and sadly missed.
Really awesome song.
If I was a dancer, this would be one of my tunes. 😎
Lesley RIP.Gotta do Nantucket Sleighride to fully appreciate Mr. West.
Leslie West and Mountain invented “heavy “.
Biz, I think you would like Nantucket Sleighride - studio version .
foolish me! thinking , this has been up for 13minutes , mebbe ill be the first comment....wishful thinking! great reaction , Biz!
I like your facial expressions.. the rhythm is down right dirty!..
Best 2 1/2 minute song ever
Also, check out one of my favorite Mountain songs "Never In My Life" .
Leslie West had the sweetest sounding guitar check out Silver Paper 🔥🔥🔥
Felix on BASS!
You been jammin hard lately. Good for you. Heard this one 45+ yrs ago. It still kicks ass.
Alike many important groups of the time Mountain was not from UK. They were formed in New York in 1969 and attended the Woodstock Festival. Leslie West was tall, large and an important person in the history of heavy metal. Also at an age of 70 he was still an impressing artist!
Yes Sir! They have a few amazing songs. These guys were Rock Icpns
Two words: swagger and balls.
This is actually the only song I know by them. It's a good but short rocker from 1970
Love this song, very fun to play on Rock Band
THIN LIZZY; " Bad Reputation "
+1000 to those also recommending Nantucket Sleighride.
Classic!
Check out Foghat and Stevie Ray Vaughn. great channel. great vid
Southern Rock Funk, is that a thing? Stanky!
Except, they’re from Long Island!
Nothin southern rock about This song, bros.
@@blueyzblue6391 when I hear cowbell, I think of southern rock. 🤔 how many blues songs feature a cowbell? Okies, bro?
@@abmqa That's funny 🤔 I can't think of ANY southern rock songs with a cowbell, Bro. Unless you wanna include Born on the Bayou...which is really swamp rock.
Please check out Sam Kinison's version of this
kick ass ty ty ty
Mrs. Hippy Queen
If you liked this, you might check out Zakk Wylde's cover of this song live. Zakk was Ozzy's replacement when Randy passed, later left Ozzy and formed his own band Black Label Society (from the black label on the Jack Danial's Bottle). But his cover on an electric acoustic guitar is unreal, I know you would be into it! Rock on man!
🎉🎉🎉
Blues rock like
Led Zeppelin
Lesley!
Another Mountain suggestion: "One Last Cold Kiss."
This is the only song I know from them but I think it is Fire.
You probably know Theme For An Imaginary Western, but didn’t realize it was them. It’s quite different from this.
Mountain was one of the best live bands at the time (and still). Check out Stormy Monday live at Isle of Wight.
I'm surprised nobody else mention the song (as far as I look back on the comments).
