It is a great song. And I considered is a truly evil song too. It's good to be bad.
C ya!

I love that song. I think the thing I particularly like about it is the lyrics...very interesting way of looking at the events mentioned in the song.
Popmartijn said:I hate to debunk a myth here, but that wasn't the song the Stones were playing during the incident. The actual song they were playing at that moment was Under My Thumb. I saw the movie Gimmie Shelter a few months ago. Wow, talk about an anticlimax for the band (regarding the whole situation, not regarding the documentary).

Yeah, that's why I said it is an evil song. It's not just the fact that it's sung from the perspective of the devil, but also the indifference to the horrible events described.

That's why I also like the Neptunes remix of the song. They don't go over the top with it. By keeping the instrumentation restrained it has much more power.
C ya!
