Collected Thoughts: "A Devil Evolves In The Studio
Mon Apr 09, 2007 (Music) Comments
I came across some incredible footage of a young Rolling Stones band in the studio working on a new song, Sympathy for the Devil. The footage is buried in a totally opaque and dull Godard film. I have spliced together scenes that show the evolution of the song from Mick Jagger teaching Brian Jones and Keith Richards the chords- Charlie Watts improvising brilliantly on the drums, to Keith grinding out a bad ass buzzsaw riff, cigarette dangling from his lips, to the band working Nicky Hopkins' keyboards into the arrangement.
Is Keith Richards not the coolest bloke on the planet? "
