Tim has more joy on his face than any guitar player I've ever seen. He's such a tasteful and creative player and he makes it look so easy. He doesn't waste a note, he makes me all count.

[mikegray]

Man, you are absolutely the best at what you do!
You don’t just play “in the style of” - you completely inhabit the piece.
Magical work Tim - thank you !!!

[terenzo]

Bumped into Merry Clayton at the Gardenia nightclub in Hollywood back in the mid-1980s. She was walking out as I was walking in and I just sort of blurted out "Merry Clayton! You totally made that Stones song!" and she said, "Yes, honey, and Mick knows it too!" So many people all these years later, the two things that stand out for them most are Keith's guitar intro and Merry's lifting the whole affair into outer space with her glorious voice.

[gerardusch]

Often overlooked is Mick's great harmonica playing on this track.

[johngudgeon]

Instant shivers down the spine, forearms, everywhere...
The most beautiful intro to a song ever recorded. Then it gets better!

[lynnjacobs]

The most energetic, exciting rock song intro I know. After more than 50 years, it still gives me chills.

[leebatt]

There was a ten year period in which Keith was on fire, writing one amazing classic riff after another. Genius. Can you hear me knocking, monkey man, the list goes on and on.

[skye]

That Harmony Jupiter has a remarkable telecaster-ish sound with no hum. And this song is simply a gem to hear and impeccably played by Tim.

[kirkwilson]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded. I hadn't realized Kieth recorded all three parts. What a badass. Thanks for the breakdown.

[tcm]

Man, I am an older rocker, very average guitar player, and, during the Pandemic, really got into these guitar guru's. I just have to say that Tim is just such a great player and his smile and way, just really hits me good. Just love him. I should take some lessons.

[petertaysum]

Your respect and appreciation of this great song is matched by your own great playing. Your intro is a blast.

[deadreckoning]

That’s such a subtle, understated and sweet tone with the tremelo and a slight slap back you’re getting there.
Its great to see how much JOY you have when you’re playing, Tim

[dnews]

It's really unbelievable that there are so many people who have no idea what a great guitarist Keith Richards is. Mad respect to Tim for this lesson.

[markkelly]

A totally unique and brilliant song. Keith's rhythm parts were hooks all by themselves.

[tattyshoesshigure]

Has to be one the greatest openings for a rock song… it never fails to send shivers / tingles up my spine whenever I hear it. Has a kind of epic, ‘end of days’ feel about it… truly an amazing song!

[streetartmusicpublishing]

I can't believe how very cool that guitar line from Keith is, how great it sounds when you start Rockin' at 45 seconds in! When I was a teenager, I caught The Rolling Stones at the Forum, Terrific, Magical! I had the great pleasure of meeting MIck Jagger, probably April, '72, he came in for Tea while Mick Taylor was overdubbing Slide Guitar at Sunset Sound (we were next door to the Troubadour, Los Angeles); Nice fellow, stayed for roughly 30 minutes! I was in awe, he wrote Sympathy For The Devil, Street Fighting Man, Lyrics Gimme Shelter, Wild Horses, etc!! 🎸 🎶 P.S. Hey, he actually sang the songs! Only saw Keith Richards walk into Village Recorders, W. Los Angeles a couple years later!

[mlambrechts]

I can't listen to this song without tears rolling down my cheeks, and this after 50y. The intro is breath taking, the lyrics are a frontal attack and the solos come like daggers into my heart. Marc from Belgium.

[SilentKnight]

Aside from the epic and ethereal guitar riff opening the song - Merry Clayton's voice breaking on the high registry is just...incredible. Perhaps the Stones' greatest track.

[andopynyn]

To me, this is the best song the Stones ever recorded. Though I'm not really a big Stones fan, I do like several of their other songs. But for me, this was the one where they reached beyond themselves and made one "for the ages."

[TomKirkman]

Perhaps the single greatest rock and roll masterpiece of all time.
