100% right about people not taking responsibility and blaming "the devil".

Don't ever worry about "sounding dumb." Your interpretation of the lyrics was very good. Good reaction guys! ✌️😁👍Peace and love!

The Devil is saying that humanity is giving him way too much credit for the atrocities they have committed over the centuries.

One of the greatest songs ever recorded. As deep as they get. The Rolling Stones are in a league of their own.

This came out in 1968 while Vuet Nam was happening,Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assassinated.Riots,political upheaval.1968 has been called a crack in time,and this song was perfect to express the uneasyness of the time. Great reaction,and Thank you.

When this song came out my parents didn’t want me listening to it because they thought that it was a“Devil “ song.! The words are still so relevant! Great reaction. Much love ❤️

react to "paint it black" or "gimme shelter" from rolling stones next! both these are as great as "sympathy for the devil"

My second favorite Stones song of all time! Just a fantastic song. I hope you do my favorite, "Gimme Shelter." It's amazing and you won't be disappointed!

the important line is "i'll tell you one time, you're to blame". Most people miss it. Evil can't create, it corrupts or destroys. I'd recommend you listen to "sister morphine" another good song of theirs. of course i can't think of a bad song of theirs, they're quite talented. I keep listening to you because my favorite band is either pink floyd or led zepplin depending on what day it is and i remember you saying almost the same thing in another video so i took interest in you.

I genuinely like how much he pays attention and gets into the vibe.

If you're very familiar with world history then this song is just brilliant in so many ways. One of my all-time favorites.

Much respect... Your interpretation is spot on.This song in my opinion could not of been done by any other band. The bass line is so thick Vocals perfect The constant fluid percussion and drumming carries this song instantly recognizable The ear piercing off beat guitar work so unique and quirky, that sound it is so perfect for this song. Masterpiece

So many great Stones songs, they have a huge catalog of over 60 albums. Enjoy your journey.

Basically, speaking as the Devil, Mick is saying, 'Hey humans. I couldn't have done it without you. **high five**"

Check out “wild horses” and fall all in love with each other all over again. Also “as tears go by”. They have so many unique sounding songs and many beautiful lyrics in many of their songs.

You two have just scratched the surface of their awesome body of work. A must song with same kind of energy as this one is "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (1971), and for a real iconic classic Stones hit "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968)! And both your interpretations of Sympathy For The Devil are spot on! ✌😎

By the way never feel dumb asking questions or finding meaning in a song. It was written 54 years old. Music is history of a certain times, you only learn by asking questions. Your genuine interest is admirable...

Have been called the "greatest rock and roll band in the world". Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts, holding it down on drums

Phenomenal song, Jagger and Richard’s firing on all cylinders! It’s a history lesson in a song, each segment tells a story if you look them up it will make things clearer. Definitely try more Stones!

Your spot on with the meaning, and well done at a young age for seeing that, there are not many Christian groups that do not believe in the ‘personification of a Devil’ most mainstream churches believe the Devil is a man, but when you study Bible truth it becomes clear that the word Devil derives from ‘diablos’ just meaning adversary (mans adverse and sinful thoughts), so yes, what lots of people see as the work of ‘the Devil’ is really just ‘you and me’ as the clever lyrics in this great song allude to. Believing In a Devil is really no different to blame shifting.

Clifton ​The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. The song is a history lesson about just that. The Devil is always close by. Look at racism, hate, war, injustice, fear of what you don't know or understand. Look out of the corner of you eye, the Devil is there. We gotta care and love each other as people. Listen to CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKIN', GIMME SHELTER, MONKEY MAN, MOONLIGHT MILE.

The Rolling Stones have so many classic songs it's ridiculous. And just as many songs that weren't hits, that should have been. I've always loved "Monkey Man", "Daddy You're a Fool to Cry" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". And I could go on listing songs and still leave not name them all.

Brown Sugar, Some Girls, Miss You…are all great songs. Rod Stewart’s “Maggie May” of the unplugged & seated LIVE album is 🔥🔥RollingStones Ron Wood on 🎸

They’ve done so many styles and genres because of their longevity. “Angie” was a pretty big hit, even though it’s more of a sad ballad with great lyrics. Or if you wanna hear one of the greatest solos ever then maybe you guys could check out “Time Waits For No One”.

I was 11 at the time, and their album Sticky Fingers really blew my mind.

Checkout - can’t you hear me knocking!! Awesome jam!! It rocks

It's March. 2 weeks to Saint Patrick's Day. When you gonna check out some Irish punk??? Some Dropkick Murphys? Some Flogging Molly or Tossers or Rumjacks?! Come on fam!

The Stones are definitely one of the all-time great classic rock band. These official lyric videos are really well done, but She's A Rainbow is my favorite. It's so trippy and beautiful!

I feel you my friend. The Stones are a heck of a big rabbit hole to go down, but we’ll worth the adventure. I saw them numerous times in the 70s and early 80s. Listen to their music from 60s-early 80s. Street Fightin’ Man, Under My Thumb, just on and on. Keep on keepin’ on!

Saw them live this last October in Pittsburgh, PA. Still amazing musicians and performers at 80 years old. Some people are just born to perform.

Sympathy for the Devil" is credited to Jagger and Richards, though the song was largely a Jagger composition. Jagger stated in an interview that his influence for the song came from Baudelaire a french poet and from the Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita (which had just appeared in English translation in 1967). Jagger is singing in first person like he is the devil character in the song.

There's songs like RUBY TUESDAY, TIME IS ON MY SIDE, ANGIE, BABY YOU'RE OUT OF TIME, LETS SPEND THE NITE TOGETHER, MEMORY MOTEL! Just a few most ppl have forgotten!

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by The Stones is great.

That song is 54 years old and still sounds amazing.

This song and "Paint It Black" are my two favorites from The Stones - though I do like the rest of their catalog.

"Beast of Burden" is my favorite Stones song. Just about tied with ""Shine a Light"

Even if you don't do a reaction you should check out.the video. John Lennon and yoko Ono in the crowd so is Pete Townsend of the Who. It's a really good example of Mick Jaggers energy very entertaining. I think you did a great job of understanding what this song is about.

You want to hear a Blues song or a Rock tune ,maybe a Country or Disco or some Reggae or the best Mellow songs ever.....just listen to the STONES cause they do it all .

Nobody has a voice like Mick Jagger. Check out "Gimme Shelter", "Angie", "Wild Horses".

that is one filthy lead, and you guys are exactly right. at the end when he is vamping he says" i gotta tell ya, you're to blame." great song.

More Stones. One of my top five too my friends.

Probably my favorite Stones tune, thanks for reacting to it. Try “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” next! Also it’s highly recommended to watch Mick Jagger, in addition to listening to the songs.

Spot on and still very, very relevant. Over half a century since I first heard 'Sympathy For the Devil' and still gives me chills.

Angie, Brown Sugar, Jumpin Jack Flash, Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman, Wild Horses. A few to get started

At about that time there was a phrase, "The devil made me do it ". I feel that may have influenced this song. The devil is in us all. Great reactions!

1968... the year I graduated from high school. Vietnam was going strong. I remember in my college years listening to this and dancing around a dining room table singing "Woo woo". Of course we were all stoned!

Welcome to one of the greatest “rabbit holes” in Rock & Roll. The Rolling Stones were, are and always will be one of the most amazing and influential bands in history. They have been the cause of much controversy over the decades, often because of the style and content of their music or the message contained within their lyrics. Even today the intended message of some songs can be misinterpreted, “Brown Sugar” being one that comes to mind. Just remember that they were invariably coming from a position of respect, admiration and love, and were simply trying to bring focus upon that which they felt was unseen and that society needed to acknowledge.

Paint it Black by the stones is my fav song of all time im in my 40's and my father served 2 tours in Vietnam so this song always hit home its deep...

My favorite Stones' song out of a TON of amazing songs! The message is something that all people should take note of. The potential for Evil in this world is never farther than our own hearts...and we should all be vigilant of that every day, with each interaction we have in this world. (Social media folks take special note! Review your comments before you hit "post/enter" and think how your post might impact the reader.)

I think you're spot on with your interpretation of this song. 'Sympathy' for the Devil as 'he' is blamed for most if not all evil when we and we alone as humans are responsible for our actions, our atrocities, our self and planetary destruction. We are thrown into this world without explanation and are abandoned as a species to determine our own morality.

Anything they did was 🔥I remember my dad saying they would be a flash in the pan,he had to eat his words.

I Love the look on her face when you say, I don't wanna sound dumb, like, you can't help it. lol

Honky tonk woman, dead flowers, let’s spend the night together, tumbling dice are some of their best and most popular. It’s cool because they all sound completely different.

One of rock's classics along with The Who's 'Won't get fooled again'.

Paint it black. Should be the next Stones song.

In the 60's and 70's they said we were too young and wasted to know what the world was about ! We showed them ! We are STILL showing them !

I have to salute the Stones for creating such a masterpiece. I can't think of anybody else that could have done this.

I really like you guys. I'm a lot older but you seem like people I'd enjoy hanging out with. Good job on understanding most of these lyrics.

Jagger wrote this song and it was, originally, claimed to be based on the poem Baudelaire, but, later he stated he was inspired by Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita which is some truly legendary Soviet-era Russian literature. Highly recommended reading if you get the chance.

I think y'all are now hooked on the Stones. This was the 1st time I've heard Ms Recklezz say out loud, "I want to hear more. Also, @Lifewithrecklezz said at time stamp 3:55, "I don't want to sound dumb." .... don't worry about it. Whether you get what the song is talking about or not, your observations and interpretations are always thoughtful. (By the way, I do think you got it, and at the end of the song it was clear to me that both of you understood what the Stones were alluding to.) As I've watched your reactions the past several months what I've notice is that you have a couple strong traits that will carry you well in life - your thirst for searching out different music you've not listened to (and I suspect in other areas of life as well) is a good thing. Combine that with how you try to pay attention and try to understand the point of view of the musician is wonderful to see .... and will translate into other areas of life. Good on you. Great song and a great reaction once again.

"Jumping Jack Flash!!" three words that will change your life ...lol a lot of people don't dig that one.....but one of their best

The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the world 60 plus years and still going strong

My favorite band of all time.. I’m 57 got two toung tattoos…lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸

This is my all time Stones jam !!!

Growing up in the 60s and 70s I can tell you it was a savage time for humanity. I believe this was a cautionary tale meant to remind people The world we create for ourselves is on us. We need to make it about love and peace.

That young lady is always so quietly observant, biting her tongue when "gnome sane" boy opens his rambling cake hole. I enjoy her knowing glances at the camera and I hope better for her.

I noticed he keeps saying "what is puzzling you is the nature of my game" and the whole song is like a puzzle and in the end he answers the question "hope you guess my name" with this sentence "as head his tails just call me Lucifer"....

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is another classic by The Stones. A must react to.

Rolling Stones - Play with fire Miss you (extended version) Doo doo doo doo doo (heartbreaker)

Have a large catalog of songs since 1964. From Time is On My Side and on and on. My favorite is Jumpin Jack Flash 1968.

My mother bought a 45 with this song when I was 11. I loved Rolling Stones ever sense and I am 63

Midnight Rambler and Can't Always Get What You Want are 2 great tracks from the same album.

what I always liked about this song is how it works as a highlight real of major events of European history.

Still one of my favourite bands. The early Rolling Stones where such a rebels. What The Beatles are for Pop music, well The Rolling Stones are for Rock music.

You kids NAILED it. The messages are subtle but they are there for anyone who wants to actually listen. Loved your reactions!

Imagine hearing this song in a 70,000 seat stadium where most the audience is sing WooWoo. It is awesome.

This a history lesson in a song.

You've just heard the"world's greatest rock band" and just what a deep DEEP rabbit hole you entered. Enjoy.

My pick for the Stones.."Beast Of Burden" Wicked groove to this song.

My favorite song by the stones is “Tumbling Dice.” It’s on their album, Exile On Main Street which is epic.

They played this song at the end of “Fallen” starring Denzel Washington. If you’ve never seen it, you should definitely watch it. It’s creepy as hell and one of my favorite Denzel movies

For every human atrocity, we blame the devil . The devil is just reminding us it was team work

If this is the first Rolling Stones song that you’ve ever done you’ve got a long way to go down that rabbit hole talk about 60 years, six decades there’s a lot to react to that won’t disappoint

My absolute fave Stones song. Thank you for reviewing it. Loved that you effortlessly picked up what it was about. It's such a joy to watch you go through what I went through 40+ years ago (I caught up to the Stones in the late 70's when I was a teenager). In a similar vein check out You Can't Always Get What You Want and Gimme Shelter. Dumb story, but I'll tell it anyhow. I was renting a room in a house in Liverpool in 1982, and a friend of my landlord dropped by and said she was looking for someone to drive down to Bristol with, 'cos a friend of hers was having a house party right by the football stadium where the stones were playing. We drove down, listened to Black Uhuru's set and some bloke pulls out a bunch of tix and says "who wants one?" Walked right down to the stage as the Stones started their set. I was so stoked because I thought I might never have another chance to see them again (because they were so old) - little did I know, 40 freaking years later, they would still be playing live gigs! Whodathunk it? Here's a picture from the concert: i.pinimg.com/originals/b5/b7/0f/b5b70fe2e75bc6317605ac875757ce17.jpg

Sympathy For The Devil was the best history lesson I learned as a kid. And the dysfunctional ills of society blamed on one entity instead of the freewill to live to destroy to exist to enjoy.

It’s amazing to me how people have no idea about the stones in this age of the instant information at your fingertips. Great reaction, go check out all their backlog of music.

Being hispanic, i've always referred to this as some "white boy salsa" because it sounds like what some white dudes would play after having heard some latin music and getting inspired by it lmao i love it

Absolutely with the rest of gang..lovelovelove. Waiting on a friend great stones sone..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸

Out in a field with a hundred kids with huge speakers, music blaring, kegs of beer, and a bonfire and dancing all night long to music like this in 1975.

Check out "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by The Rolling Stones It is such a great song, I love the beginning of it. Great video you guys.

The fabulous Stones..best ever by long shot, in my opinion...some 400+ songs are not many throw-aways..

I second the gimme shelter request, paint it black, honkey tonk woman, start me up, wild horses, can’t you hear me knocking, love in vain

You got it! He saying the Devil works through us. Our greed and lust for power and domination

This song is political and comes from their most political album Beggar's Banquet . Other political songs on the album include Salt Of The Earth and Street Fighting Man

First line in this song is the inspiration for the intro; "Allow me to re-introduce myself my name is H-O, h to the ov." Allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.

Here's one: 'VENTILATOR BLUES'. Bet nobody else requests it. From Exil on Main Street double LP. Written nearly 50 years before Covid ventilators. Stones have almost never played it live - they could never recapture the groove they found when recording it. Early Covid, they had a hit song, Ghost Town. They wrote it before Covid hit but, because it was suddenly so relevant, they slightly modified it

This is a tune! Awesome, always on my playlist. This is your second Stones song, you had Gimme Shelter a few weeks back... Paint it Black is also an awesome Stones song 👊🏻

So you should check out Rolling Stone's LP; "Their Sanantic Majestic Request 1967. The album cover was worth buying back then or today.

You'll never sound stupid being honest with how any form of art strikes you.

I hope you see Mick Jagger doing his moves , “Start me up” is a good one. Enjoyed.
