Sympathy for the Devil (Neptunes remix)

[Headache in a Suitcase]

So have you heard Pharrell Williams' remix of the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil? What does everybody think? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

 

[u2popmofo]

Indifferent. It's alright, but not all that groundbreaking.

The video is kinda stupid.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Video is way stupid.


Give me the original any day.

 

[Salome]

kick arse remix

 

[Squishy Peanut]

The video's stupid and the remix seems a bit pointless :\

Hello,

I was pleasantly surprised by this remix. It's a cool remix, they didn't just go with the beats, but made something more of it. I love the part at the end with the acoustic guitar, it has such an impact!
As for the video, it faithfully visualises what the song is about.

Speaking of the devil...
I saw the Stones perform last night! Yep, they played here (or rather in Amsterdam). It was a good show. As they're going on 60 the voices of Mick and Keith aren't really good anymore. But they had enough pyrotechnics (sometimes literally) to keep me interested. No, they won't make my top 4 list of this year to date (Bruce Springsteen, REM, Coldplay, Solomon Burke) and with 5 concerts ahead (Admiral Freebie, Elvis Costello, Daniel Lanois, Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris) I don't think they even make the top 5 (or 7). Still, I think this really was the last time I saw them live and I'm glad I went.
But even my father noticed that I didn't dance/jump as much as with U2. That should say enough on this board...

C ya!

neptunes suck ass.



you fools leave rock&roll alone.

 

[Popmartijn]

Nope, they kick ass.

 

[shaun vox]

yeh lets get a great rock&roll song and put a beat box on it and push some nobs and we got a hit.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

haven't heard it

i think it's a brilliant idea though

And a hit it is again. Here in the Netherlands the Stones have a top 10 hit with the new remix, surpassing the highest position of the original version (#13 in 1973). It's also their biggest hit since Like A Rolling Stone in 1995 (#10 for 1 week). It's not the highest position of Sympathy For The Devil though, since the Guns 'n Roses cover (talk about pushing some knobs and leaving rock 'n roll alone... ) reached #9.
The Stones do have a new record now. With their average age of 59 1/2 years they are the oldest act ever to reach the Dutch top 10.

C ya!

Marty (who probably will buy the single)

i happen to like it... just puts a different spin on it... and i agree... the little accoustic thing at the end sounds cool as hell. nothing can top the original, but this is pretty cool none the less. but yeah... the video sucks.

 

[shaun vox]

so are you saying you do not like GUNS N ROSES cover of SFTD.

slash does a great job on the guitars and all orignal.
now im going to listen to gnr,s cover of sftd.

now that is rockNroll not this new bull turd.

 

[Bunbury]

The Tiamat version is the best.

I'm not saying I don't like their cover. But it is a cover that's fairly similar to the original. So why is that more rock 'n roll than the Neptunes remix?

Besides, !

sympathy for the devil isn't that great a song in my opinion

those damned 'woo woos' can drive you up the wall

i still need to hear the remix though

and i think the idea is fabulous

 

[Popmartijn]

Oh yes it is!
It is a great song. And I considered is a truly evil song too. It's good to be bad.

C ya!

Marty

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

well maybe it is

maybe it's not

*insert music is subjective debate here*

I freakin' hate those 'woo woos' though.
