No one does a reaction to this song and you reacted exactly like you get it. Thank you.

The story behind this song is that they were trying to get it down without Keith because he was late. Keith finally arrives but starts eating some cereal as he hears the band’s ruckus, next thing you know he picks up a guitar and starts playing it faster. And so that’s how “Bitch” as we know it is born. The lead guitar licks, believe it or not, are played by Keith. You can tell because it is very Chuck Berry-esque. Check out “Sway” or “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” if you want to listen to Taylor’s bluesy melodic virtuosity.

I with you mate, I’ve always thought this song was the epitome of the Stones style. Insightful reaction!

This album is GREAT!! Bobby Keys on sax. The Stones have many songs with X-rated lyrics. Mick loved James Brown, btw. Can't wait for you to do "Can't You Hear Me Knocking."

Great track. My original vinyl album has a working zipper on jeans' front pictured. You nailed it with your description of the Stones: raunchy and rebellious hell raisers. But boy could they play, and write some incredibly catchy riffs. And no band has had a more enthusiastic and energetic front man. I grew up in the Beatles/Stones era, and while I judge the Beatles to have been the greater trend setters and "envelope" pushers musically, I still played my Stones albums more frequently (still do).

Keith Richards plays the lead licks and solo on this.

Armando mentions it below, but this song shows how the band mixed up the players depending on the song's needs as Mick Taylor drives the riff and Keith hits the solos. Great reaction!

Your reaction/analysis are the best on KZfaq. I believe the Stones are the most amazing band ever formed. The attitude, energy, sexuality, and sheer talent blow me away every time. And, there stuff never gets old. It's timeless sonic magic.

Outstanding album. Rock was truly revolutionary in those days. Micks vocal style was sort of based on Mississippi Blues men Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf etc.

OMG! Love this song and your reaction!!! You got this shit down!!

You are the first person I've seen react to this. This is easily in my Stones Top 10. This album is phenomenal. React to Moonlight Mile. It's the last song on Sticky Fingers. It's nothing like Bitch.

If you liked that....you'll LOVE Can't You Hear Me Knocking. ESPECIALLY the opening riff, with the NASTY guitar tone.

The whole album is a stunning piece of work

The thing about the Rolling Stones over the years is that they're the ultimate party band. They've recorded so many songs on so many albums over the decades that there are some that are just stinkers, but even on those albums there is always at least one or two gems that leave you wanting more. When they're at the top of their game and have their groove on it's impossible to not want step on the dance floor and grove along with them.

Thanks for these reactions of the Stones--- Yeah- you're getting it. The Stones were going on all cylindars in every corner. Nobody quite like them!

Fabulous and articulate reaction - I always thought that this song was under-rated. Storming classic.

'The walking middle finger' a great definition of the Stones.

You want to hear the stones give the middle finger to the industry you need to check out their contractual obligation (unreleased) single, “C*cksucker Blues”. It’s actually a pretty great song. It’s acoustic but threatening, Jaggers vocals are sinister and the lyrics are down right dirty, especially for the time. They owed Decca one more single and decided to give them this knowing they’d never release it but still getting out of their contract. So good.

Possibly my favorite Stones song, definitely one of them.

Great song and album, from the same album you should hear Brown Sugar, a huge hit and also all time classic jam, Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Bobbie Keys shines on that one. Keep up the great choices! Enjoy. 🎸

Need to hit Happy, Keith does the lead vocals on it. Mick Taylor really upped the rock and roll vibe.

One of the best reactions I have seen in the 2-3 years I’ve been watching this type of content on KZfaq. (Doesn’t hurt that the Stones have been my favorite band for 51 years now!). One quip - that’s all Keith on lead. Story I heard is that Jagger and Taylor were noodling around trying to figure out a lead breakdown and getting nowhere, when Keith walked into the studio and just ripped off this lead and it fit perfectly!

Thanks for giving these songs a new life

I got to tell you man , you are eloquent of speech …..no doubt ….but the pleasure and emotions that show on your face are pure poetry ….something for us to enjoy …a refreshing diamond ... time well spent thank you

I love rewatching your reactions to my favorite songs - this one has been watched at least 8 times and I appreciate the work you do bless you!

Yeah can't wait to see you do more Stones! Saw em live 4 times starting in 1981.

Jagger is not a great singer based on traditional standards, but his phrasing of the lyrics is what separates him from others. BRILLIANT.

I bought Brown Sugar when I was in middle school in the 70s and this was on the b-side. Because music was an educational tool for me, this song taught me what a “fortnight” is as well as the definition of Pavlov’s dog.

One of my favorite Stones songs. Really like Charlie Watts drumming. I recommend reacting to Monkey Man and Do Do Do Do Heartbreaker by the Stones next. They have so many great songs.

I have become such a big fan of yours! I love your reactions and your thoughtful analyses of so many songs, but especially your reactions to Rolling Stones' songs.

You are 100% right about the Stones and punk. Keef was, for many, the original punk. They were the badboy version of the Beatles, although the two bands were great friends. After one of their early appearances on the top variety show of the era, The Ed Sullivan Show, Ed Sullivan said, "I'm never having them back on unless they clean themselves up." You can't buy that kind of publicity. Brian Jones died in a pool of a drug overdose. Jagger & Richards were busted on a trumped up pot charge and spent 3 months in jail, like actual jail. Many believe the real reason they were targeted was because they had just released their hit single Street Fighting Man, whose message of revolution frightened the powers that be. So they had what might be called 'street cred'.

The entire Sticky Fingers album is a fabulous album from beginning to end. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Moonlight Mile, Wild Horses, all all-time classic songs.

I think Keith is handling most of the guitar work here, including lead. Live, Keith used to play lead on this song.

Keith's final solo is in perfect Mick Taylor style

The Stones have so many amazing songs. You have listened to some great ones so far but they are full of surprises…even the ballads where Mick “sings” but always with the swagger- attitude and insinuation that seems a direct challenge to the listener. Do yourself a favor and watch some of the live performances… in their prime or older… they are so amazing live and you don’t really get that unless you see them in action and the way they interact. So tight but so loose at the same time.

I love your analysis of every song you do. You should listen to Exile on Main Street. The whole thing. There's a reason it's considered one of the greatest albums of all time. The Stones are unbelievable.

Another Stones track with Bobby Keys is "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)." It's definitely one of my favorite songs by the Stones. Highly recommend! Would love to hear what you think.

Good to have you back Brother Syed!!! Another great analysis and reaction!

Fantastic commentary. Super.

I love you

I’ve been asking for this song everywhere. Thanx, I am now a loyal watcher.

Quintessential Stones one of their best rockers. Love the Stones, you can ' t sit still when the Stones rock. You totally get the Stones

Your insights on Mick’s voice were outstanding!

Great reaction! I would highly recommend reacting to Rocks Off next. It's from their 1972 masterpiece double album Exile on Main Street.

Keith Richard's- frigging genius

Dirty. Raunchy. Raw. Fun. Exactly.

Hi folks, - this guy got the job! Okay, maybe he isn't a super expert for Background of Stones, but doesn't matter, what he tells and how he enjoys the music and lyrics is really fun, integer and great. Praises from aaron, berlin-city, germany

My 4th time watching this- absolutely amazing!!

Great commentary, thanks intelligent and passionate...and of course great Stones track.

" feeling drunk...juiced up and sloppy"... Pure gold

I used to listen to this while I ran too!!!! A.....LOOONG....TIME AGO.....A "GREAT" TUNE FOR "ACTIVITY", EVEN IF IT'S JUST "CLEANING THE HOUSE", EITHER WAY YA DO IT!! 😜😁

Can't you hear me knocking- favorite Stones song!

First time seeing the channel Great reaction 👌 The only band in the last 40 years who truly harnessed the 50s and 60s rock n roll brilliance and attitude in their sound without sounding like an imitation is The La’s from Liverpool. Only 1 album, but the story behind it is unbelievable. Lee mavers lead singer songwriter up their with Ray Davies, Lennon etc as one of the greatest British songwriters. Album reaction would be amazing 👌 There she goes is clearly the standout sound but when you really play and play and become obsessed with the album you realise how many better songs are on it than There She Goes 👍

Awesome reaction for an awesome song

Yeah, the guitars and horns are fantastic but the rhythm section of Watts and Wyman kick it up a notch ... Charlie's kick drum really drives this song...

Very clever & brilliant lyrics. Just one of many songs from the Stones that you just have to dance to. WHat a very tight band.

I don't know this song so well, but I think you've nailed it... and it's good to have you back. Glad you enjoyed you ... excursions (ha... got the tee shirt !) I think you're absolutely right about Mick's voice. Not great, but it's all about how he knows how to use what he's got. His voice is very exposed on some of their slower , more "ballady" songs and I look forward to hearing you review those at some point... Wild Horses would be a good one.

This is actually Keith Richards playing lead guitar on this one. This lead, along with Sympathy for the Devil, may be Keith's best lead guitar.

Always great to mention Taylor, but on this cut it is actually Keith doing the lead guitar. The main riff came from the 2 Micks and Charlie. Great reaction clip. As always.

So true man- Mick delivers songs with such an attitude

Do yourself a favor and listen to Moonlight Mile. It's neglected by reactors, but it's a beautiful dreamy ballad with amazing musicality. A rarely heard absolute gem that shows you a very different side of the Stones.

Mick jagger is “a walking middle finger to everything.” Excellent definition.

It appears that you are partial to songs with meaning, a story and a lot of intertwined instruments. You really should react to Sister Morphine. It has all the above in spades. Keith and Charlie really shine as does Micks vocals. It’s about someone dying in the hospital. Be sure to have the lyrics in front of you even though the vocals are very clear. Great reactions!

I agree, you nailed it perfectly

Mick was a soul afficionado and was a BIG fan of James Brown. Mix that with the blues influence,throw in some Mick Taylor,a big helping of Charlie (!),Bobby Keys’ sax,Bill Wyman thumping that metronome bass and voila,you have the mighty Stones and their unique sound.

You have to react to , Can't you hear me knocking next. Guaranteed to love it.

My favorite Stones song.

Welcome back, Syed, hope you had a good trip. Glad you're checking out more of The Stones, an obscure track but great fun. You're right, not such a musical voice but Jagger had lashings of 'Punk' attitude, dirty, gritty and they weren't pretty, and they were labelled as bad boys from the start. For the gentle acoustic side to them check out 'Angie' or 'Wild horses'. Syed, absolutely love your channel, but can you PLEASE reattach that dangling spring on your mic stand? It's starting to bug that OCD in me LOL

I recently bought an original 1st issue/1st pressing album of "Sticky Fingers". They are hard to come by in pristine condition as they had a working zipper on the cover which caused many of the albums to warp. It's the most I ever payed for an album but I had to have it in my collection.

"Walking Middle Finger", best description of Mick Jagger I have ever heard. Legend.

That Zipper Cover was notorious for wrecking other LPs.

I think Jagger is one of rock’s greatest lyricists. Clever, suggestive and powerful. Kind of underrated in a way, but just perfect rock writing and vocals

Got to dig them horns!!👍🏻👍🏻😍✌

You need to check out some Who ! Something from Who’s next would be a good start. Then something live with drummer Keith Moon. 🔥 New subscriber 👍

The Bad Boys of Rock and Roll

Amores Perros! Fire! Killer guitar solo -- and those horns! Back in the seventies and eighties, cheeky kids in college marching bands all across the US would play this song during football games as something like a wink and a nod to the other students in the crowd.

Beautiful 💯❤️🔥💥

One of my all time Stones favorites, another favorite which hilights Mick Taylor's awesome guitar is called 100 years ago.. you should check it out.

Two other songs which both are some of my favourites, and very overlooked (generally and) in reaction videos are Winter and Time waits for no one. Would definitely recommend them, would also recommend listening to the rest of the sticky fingers album aswell as Goats head soup, i bet lots of other people would enjoy some album reaction to those!

Mick studied James Brown religiously and picked up so many vocal stylings and dance moves from him.

Great reaction, man. Funnily enough, the guitar roles were on this were flipped: it was Keith playing the raunchy Berryesque lead and Mick Taylor grinding out those killer riffs. What a song though. And it's not even near the best song on STICKY FINGERS.

Sticky Fingers is my fave Stones album. I've loved it forever. It simply flows. From Brown Sugar right down to Moonlight Mile. Gorgeous.

Love is a bitch. It winds you out, puts you through your paces, leaves you twisting in the wind, often in a good way.

It's funny to see this a first time listener this song is one of my top 5 stones songs and I've been hearing it and searching out other versions of it for over 50 years so this is cool

this song is frkn fire!

Try some early funk by SLY and the FAMILY STONE, the one I'd suggest would be SEX MACHINE, it's kinda long, BUT.... SLY can be phenomenal on the harmonica, and done with a WAH-WAH pedal that I've never heard anyone else use. Worth a listen even if you don't due a reaction to it ! A fun, interesting track that you may enjoy ! Love yer reaction to all of the songs you've done and I hope ya due well kid !

Yeah boi you hit them space cakes

At the end, your mention of Jazz improv. Charlie was a Jazz fan, before The Stones. Charlie had a Jazz band, inbetween some of the later tours. He did a tribute album, and a book of Charlie Parker’s music. Charlie played different rhythms. He was not a wild power like Moon, or Bonham -Charlie was innovative, and solid.

Just a brilliant album from start to finish, a bit of everything in there - rocking tunes, beautiful ballads, a very hard hitting thought provoking track and even some country thrown in for good measure 👍. Superb record, you won't be disappointed 😉

Love your reaction mate. I'm a massive stones fan. I'm not sure if you've reacted to Angie ,wild horses ,moonlight mile and dead flowers (stones country)these songs show Mick's voices at his best.You have to know the stones can do Rock,n,roll Blues Pop Disco(miss you) Country Jazz And the have beautiful melodies/harmonies

My babysitter was a huge Stones fan and played this album a lot. I was 6 at the time. For years I thought this song as about a Beach because thats what I was told it was about

I'm not sure if you've reacted to Midnight Rambler yet. That is in effect as Keith describes it, a little opera he wrote about/for Mick. He said maybe anybody else could have written their other songs, but nobody else could have written that one. They've known each other since grade school btw. Just such a fantastic and special duo. Another great reaction by you, Love it!!

Mick is saying “You’ve got to mx it Charlie”

A good choice, to listen to, on a run....👍😁

i have many favourite stones songs, but this might be at the top.

I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY HEAR SOMEONE respect the Stones more than the Beatles....especially someone who knows music... Thank you..I agree the Beatles are great...but the Stones...considering the total catalogue of songs, that most people have just not heard, are just one level above the Beatles...in my opinion...That shows their absolute greatness... It just so happens that The Beatles were the darlings of everyone...and The Stones were dis-respected by the radio stations and the studios...so the public never heard much of the Stones music...Tradegy...But the songs,lyrics, riffs, talent, of those Stones is UNMATCHED...i AM SORRY TO THE BEATLES FANS....

In terms of that era

This song musically is all Keith Richards. The riffs and all the lead playing.

This is a party Song. People sometimes forget what a party band the Stones are.

Mick Jagger has said he was inspired by and an admirer of James Brown. Not only Brown's sound, but the stage presence, how to handle the crowd. Great catch that you recognized the James Brown connection.
