"Paint it black you devil" shouts the chick in the audience, caught on record on Get Yer Ya Yas Out.
"Won't you tell your dad "Get off my back
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black' "

One of my absolute favorites. I can't believe this is the first time I've heard it on RP. Turn it up to 11.

This fine trippy gem was one of the ones my mom kinda didn't want me listening to on the radio above the headboard when I was just a little kid, (head floating in the breeze, man); I remember jumping up and whirling like a dervish and asking her, "What's that he's saying?" and can't forget how she said, "How the heck should I know? Turn it off, time for bed, buddy-boy!" Years later, I dived right in...and I'm still there.

I just watched Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket the other night for like the 100th time, the closing credits roll to this as well. This might lead some to think I have an unhealthy obsession with war, the Vietnam war in particular, to which I would readily concede. Check out the book Matterhorn, by Karl Marlantes, for the full Vietnam experience. Stanley Karnow's history of the war is also something everyone should read. |

The Stones were trying to capitalize on the the artistic spirit of the 60's, as exemplified by, say, Bob Dylan or the Beatles. I realize this is not the popular opinion, but to me it comes through so clearly in songs like this (which could be called "I am such a tortured artist") or albums like Satanic Majesties Request (which is an utter ripoff of Sgt. Pepper's and the like).
To judge the Rolling Stones by the album Their Satanic Majesties Request is to show your ignorance. The good natured rivalry between the Stones and Beatles in the 60's certainly lead to innumerable comparisons and some similar album concepts (TSMR being one of them). The Stones were never out to capitalize on the "spirit of the 60's" (whatever that is). If anything they were capitalizing on the spirit of the American blues which came before the 60's. As were the Beatles. In the process, both bands expanded the reach of popular music and defined rock and roll for generations to come. Poseurs could never have such an affect. Back to the rock you crawled from under. |

You can hear a woman saying that at the beginning of one track of " Get Yer Yas Yas Out"—pretty sure it was " Sympathy for the Devil." That album didn't have any songs from the Altamont concert—all but one track was recorded at Madison Square Garden in Nov. 69. The other song was recorded in Baltimore a day before the MSG concert. This Wikipedia entry has a bit more and mentions the woman calling for "Paint it Black" on GYYYO. The band was playing "Under My Thumb" when the audience member got killed at Altamont: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathy_for_the_Devil#Aftermath |

 The Rolling Stones
.
——————————————————————————————————-
The Rolling Stones are returning to recording a new album, still in preparation. The former bassist Bill Wyman is returning to Band and agreed to record again with the band. This new disc also intends to honor the former keyboardist, Ian Andrew Robert Stewart, already disappeared, which began in the early days of the band. The Rolling Stones have not recorded since 6 years ago, so this new album is creating huge "expectations". ~calypsus_1

Isn't that what you hear just before they launch "Sympathy for the Devil" on Get Yer Ya-Yas Out? At least that's how I remember it; the satanic coincidence stuck in my head. According to Wikipedia's page on that album, that song was recorded at Madison Square Garden on November 28, 1969. Altamont was December 6th of the same year. Anyway, your version makes a better story! |

Paint it Black - Rolling Stones - "Paint it Black" (extended intro by Keith) Live
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah! |
