Actually the rythm comes from a Turkish rock song called ''Bir eylül akşamı'' by Erkin Koray which was released in 1962. Ps check it out from youtube!
you've been blessing us with daily uploads for a while holy shit
One of the most awesome songs in the history of rock n roll.
One of my favorite songs from the era... And one of the best that bashed through 1966, went on a lyrical and musical rampage, got in your face and screamed, "I HAVE ARRIVED!!!". Even now, it's still going strong and still riding that wave of epicness of power.
Best Stones song? She’s a Rainbow
P.S thank you for all the uploads
Dumbass, listen to more 70's Stones

Monkey man good pic that was mine second favorite stone stone for a long time after shattered
For me it's Angie
Paint It Black for me
Thanks for what you do.. I thoroughly enjoy not only your stories of other artists, but your own original music as well. ☮❤
From the moment I first heard it, "Paint It Black" has been my favorite song. The incredible driving beat grabs me physically and won't let go. I think it marks the high water mark of the Stones. According to Wikipedia, this song (along with The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood") is catalogued as Progressive Pop. You know that "zoom-zoom" bass effect during the last minute of the song? Wyman says he created that in the RCA studio there in L.A. by getting on his hands and knees underneath the organ and working the foot pedals. Wyman credits Dave Hassinger, the recording engineer on the "Aftermath" album, with encouraging the Stones to get creative with instrumentals. The Stones loved recording at the RCA studio because there was no clock on the wall and they were given all the time they needed to get the sound they wanted.
Check out the interview of Wenner from Rolling stones with Mick Jagger in 1995:
That was a big landmark record for me. It’s the first time we wrote the whole record and finally laid to rest the ghost of having to do these very nice and interesting, no doubt, but still cover versions of old R&B songs - which we didn’t really feel we were doing justice, to be perfectly honest, particularly because we didn’t have the maturity. Plus, everyone was doing it.
[Aftermath] has a very wide spectrum of music styles: “Paint It, Black” was this kind of Turkish song; and there were also very bluesy things like “Goin’ Home”; and I remember some sort of ballads on there. It had a lot of good songs, it had a lot of different styles, and it was very well recorded. So it was, to my mind, a real marker.
What's next for Jeff Spicoli?
Headed over to the Australian and then the Hawaiian Internationals, then me and Mick are gonna wing on over to London and jam with the Stones.
You guys are invited too.
What about Mark "Cutback" Davis, or Bob "Jungle Vet" Gerard? 😎🏄🏼♂️
Loved the Jewish wedding reference! My band at the time was playing a party for some older folks with a Middle Eastern/Israeli background, we described the gig as Us and a "Belly Dance Band", they were that authentic! Anyway, we opened with Paint It Black, we loved the song and it was current. During the interval, an aged woman came up to me and asked "Can you play that nice Jewish song again?' Of course we did but it really speaks to the multi culturalism of the song and the music of the times even if we, and the Stones, didn't recognize it at the time.
Thanks for the vid!
I thought it was George Harrison who was in the studio and who handed a sitar to Brian Jones and he started playing with it and came up with the riff, then Bill and Charlie joined in and that was how the music for Mick's words came about. Brian didn't know how to play sitar, but the man was a musical genius who could figure out how to play and instruments in a day if not hours. Brian was able to play 31 instruments by the time he died.
He had very rudimentary abilities on all of them and he Mastered nothing.
I think radiohead is miserable psychedelia
The Stones had already proved their staying power after Satisfaction and before Paint It Black with hits Get Off Of My Cloud, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Mother's Little Helper...
Mother's little helper came out at the same time, except it was England
Your videos add depth to my time LIVING paint it black in '66/67. Makes me emotional it does. (yoda-esque) : )
Ello from the Philippines!
Loved the editing, it makes them look like superheroes, larger than life icons, backed with a realy stones-y background music. Nice!
Outstanding documentary here… Illuminates a classic, iconic rock staple, with rich animated elements seamlessly integrated. Seductive - like the Stones themselves!
My favorite song is Paint It Black
The first psychedelic rock hit song ever. No one had released song of this magnitude in this style before the Stones.
I think Eric Easton was long gone by 1966. It was Bill goofing on bass pedals on a Hammond organ when the tempo changed.
My wife's fav Stones track. Taps into her dark side. She saw them in '69 in Hyde Park. When Mick finished reading Brian's eulogy from Shelley, a whole bunch of the butterflies they released came down and settled on a big white wide brimmed hat she was wearing. I took her back to see them in 2013. Full circle. She still loves butterflies.
Dude you're making such awesome videos! I'm a huge history nerd but just a casual Beatles fan so there came a point where I hadn't even heard some of the Beatles songs, which was great because it introduced me to new songs. But these popular song videos are super awesome, well done. Keep it up
Could you do Ruby Tuesday?
Or wild horses if u haven't done it yet please
One of my favorite Stones songs, and one of the first songs I ever learned on acoustic!
The Best songs from The Rolling Stones
Pepsi or Coke
Ford or Chevy
Beatles or Stones
Coke
Ford
You expect me to decide?
I've only listened to a couple Stones songs, and I already like them
Coke
Alfa Romeo
Beatles/Stones/Beach Boys/Bee Gees/Moody Blues/Who
The latter of each!
But I do like the Beatles song “happiness is a warm gun”.
Apparently this is their most popular song, which surprises me. I would have thought it was Satisfaction or Gimme Shelter
It is definitely Satisfaction.
There used to be so much lore - legends - connecting this song with the Amityville Horror house. It was such a thing that, even if it’s actually false, I was wondering if you might have mentioned it in your video.
Could you maybe do a video on how Klaatu made Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft and discuss all the various references made in it. Cuz oh boy, there's a lot and it would make for a very interesting video. :)
4:15 - Oh, that is depressing. 😔
They did this song for all the future Vietnam movies.
Forest Gump, ,,run Forest run!!! 😉😛😉
Like a rolling stone
I had no intentions of listening to Painted Black. Now after watching this video I am going to listen to the song a few times
I also remember the title being written with a comma "Paint it, Black". Any explanation?
Yes, that was in the original title. I've heard an explanation that the comma gave some (racist) people the idea that "Paint It" was an order and that "Black" was the color of the person the order was given to. I know, it's ridiculous but we're living in a very race conscious world.
To be honest, no Jones = no Stones. Brian didn't only provide the Stones with their iconic sound, he formed and named the band
He stole the band's name from Muddy Waters and he had very little to do with their lasting success.
Great vid!
Yaaaasss the stones!! Your channel never fails to bring me joy😍
They have even gone past my expectations of them. I don’t know how or why it’s possible!
TRES Cool/Heavy
Paint It Black was a great song and of course they were influenced by The Beatles use of the sitar. Of all the world music instruments it was not a random choice and The Stones know it
I must admit though that Brian Jones was a better more natural sitar player than Harrison but none the less the sitar became very fashionable in the mid 60s.
Unlike the Beatles who took Norwegian Wood, a song already written in mixolydian mode like a blues or folk song and applying a sitar to it Richards wrote paint it Black in minor Dorian mode in keeping with raga southern Asian Hindustani, music's tonalities and scales.
His eclectic knowledge, logic and musical instincts were spot on.
After all ... If you're going to write a song for a Hindustani instrument, you should at least use a Hindustani mode and scale.
I am so sick and tired of reading about Brian Jones who simply copied a single line of melody from the song over and over again on an exotic instrument. How about a little recognition to the two geniusis who constructed and wrote the friggin' song from their creative imaginations?
who cut jagger's hair that year stevie wonder?
Love the vid!
Death, Taxes and The Rolling Stones
Why would you mention Pink Floyd in 1966?
Mick Jagger looks like a little boy there.
Bill and Charlie look like they could be cousins
Good morning Brother!!
Rollingstones
Bon bah... et si, c'est Brian Jones qui a donnée le son particulière à cette chanson en introduisant le sitar ?
Brian Jones était chez moi, puis il m'a parlé de "Paint it Black" il a pris le sitar et a commencé à créer le riff... (selon les mots de George Harrison).
I’m a big Stones fan and a stickler for facts. This was well done. You made one minor mistake. Their manager Eric Easton had left in 1965. It was Bill Wyman who was imitating Eric Easton, who used to be an organ player, by hitting he organ pedals with his fists, I believe, but Eric Easton had nothing to do with the recording of the song. It’s good to point out the quote by Keith mentioning how the sitar was an experiment in the song. The quote by Brian Jones as saying it was “rubbish” about copying the Beatles for playing a sitar, which they were criticized for, was good as well. I mean an Indian sitar was one of many instruments Brian Jones played on Stones records in the 1960s.
The use of the sitar by the Stones was a naked attempt to keep up with the trends as laid down by the Beatles and the Yardbirds.
It was no coincidence that two of the UK's top pop bands just decided to pick up a classical Hindustani instrument within a few months of each other.
The only one full of "rubbish" was Jones.
@@williardbillmore5713 I couldn't disagree more. Brian Jones playing the sitar is more complex than him playing it just because the Beatles used one. So in other words the Stones were willing to put a sitar in a song even if it didn't sound right for the song just because the Beatles used one? I disagree. If Brian Jones thought the sitar was the most dreadful-sounding instrument he ever heard, he would have never played one regardless if the Beatles used one or not. Keeping up with the trends? How about when Brian Jones played an Appalachian dulcimer on "Lady Jane", or the marimbas on "Under My Thumb", what trends were he following then? Since the Yardbirds never released the sitar version of "Heartful of Soul" how can you be so sure that Brian Jones was aware they even used one?
@@robertweingartner2055 The Beatle's sitar song used the wrong mode. Keith's eclectic genius made sure that wouldn't happen in a Jagger Richards song.
You have it backwards, Bob...
It is generally agreed, by everyone involved, that the sitar choice was a "copy the Beatles" move.
Don't be stupid.
@@williardbillmore5713 “It’s generally agreed”. Lol Generally agreed by whom, Beatles fans?
@@robertweingartner2055 As I said it is generally agreed BY ALL THOSE INVOLVED. John Lennon noted in several interviews that the Stones were always playing catch up with the Beatles innovations...Mick has alluded to the same thing. The sitar use just being one of them...Satanic Majesty was their attempted answer to Sargent Pepper. I remember at the time of it's release saying exactly that Everyone says the same thing ...Why do you insist on being so stupid?.
This guy's assessment of what Paint It Black is completely wrong...its about a guys depression because things aren't going his way...its not about death...
Symphathy for the devil & Gimme shelter . Top 2.
Wait the video doesn’t really actually go over Paint it Black though
I love your videos. I notice some of the video and photos are distorted (2:02-2:18 should be 4:3, 00:44 and 01:06: Mick's face looks fat!)
I wonder if Charlie Watts influenced Noel Gallagher with the unibrow thing (hahaha).
I guess I never quite got the words..because I thought it was about depression. Anyone else?
Why nobody talks about the doors? They were waaay bigger and better than the kinks, the who and etc.
bc theyre american
@@ligarrinzani6710 so?
The Doors we're great!
The Doors were still an unsigned club band in '66 lol
The Doors >
Keith looks a lot like Leatherface in this picture.
Do a video on Death Grips
I think freddie Mercury got a lot of the way he moved from Mick.
Their use of the sitar is nothing but chasing a fad. Listen to the demo tape of Norwegian Wood without the sitar, the song lacks quite a bit. The sitar was a necessary component. How often can that be said of the other songs that used a sitar during the 60s.
Did Pink Floyd use a sitar? The Rolling Stones copied the Beatles and other groups before finding their own sound in Beggars Banquet.
You ahould do the smiths
How bout hearin some music.
Name of song at the beginning?
It’s cause they sold their soul to the devil
Middle eastern....um a sitar isn't middle eastern lol
Who talks out of their chest? 😉
It reminded me of Jews for some reason. and it was right to
Horrible
?
