I just noticed that Paint it Black has now an official lyric video. It would be better if it contained some footage, though.

I like it though. Thanks

Keep On Rolling

Oddly enough, this version of this song just came up in my song mix. Thought I'd throw it out there since this topic is about PIB.

[www.youtube.com]

The Hot Rocks album is at the end of the video, no surprise, the album is selling an average of 3,000 - 4,000 copies each week in the States and has spent 16 weeks on the Billboard 200 this year, this week at #187.

Is this sometimes overlooked song the best they ever did?

I know that Gimme Shelter, JJF, SFTD and Satisfaction often get picked for best, but where in the hell did PIB come from?

1966! It was miles past almost everything else...I mean I know the Beatles were breaking into new territory then, but I would hold PIB up to anything they did that year.

The best visuals for PIB are in the doc Crossfire Hurricane...the band and all the madness surrounding them when they were touring in the 60's.

Rickie Lee Jones does a cover of PIB that's interesting, but I can't find it on YouTube.

Hmmmmm.....
Should we expect Hot Rocks re-issue or next Vault - Honolulu 1966?

I guess it will be the Hot Rocks re-issue............with new promotion material and the new PIB video is one of them...........

I've always thought PIB would make a great opening song for a Stones show. Start with a single spotlight on Keith for the opening of the song, then let Mick, Charlie,Ronnie and the rest burst into the song as the lights explode onto the set.

"Take all the pain...It's yours anyway"

Love it!!!

Cool video, thanks!

I've always like this cover version from 1969 - this guy's voice is incredible giving it a chaotic/operatic nightmarish circus atmosphere:

Karel Gott - Rot und schwarz (Paint it Black)




Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but a nice change from the original.

Who doesn't like Paint It Black, Forest?

I've got a hankering for Pretzels 'n' Pilsner right now...oom pah pah!

I can picture that!

Thanks for posting, Cristiano. Really nice - I appreciate the visual effects! Working on a presentation and have been thinking of how to change-up some slides that have a fair amount of text, and this presented some ideas!

"Paint It Black" plays in the new commercial for the "Call Of Duty" video game which went on sale November 6th. I've seen it many times on TV in California.

the ready steady go version of paint it black is awesome, shows the real energy and drive of the band, unfortunately the recording isnt the best and there is interference about 3/4 the way through the song for a few seconds, but its one they should remaster digitally and release as an official promo video.

paint it black is one of the best stones songs ever and much better than anything the beatles could ever come up with.

the beatles made some nicy catchy tunes no doubt but the stones had more drive, energy and aggresion and wrote some fantastic songs too, and were and still are very underrated, the beatles have always been overrated, a lot of thier songs are boring but recieve high aclaim

Ya might want to let a little steam off your chest here: Beatles vs. Stones
It's been looking a bit one sided lately in favor of the Beatles...

It was recently used in the commercial for a new war video game. Each time it comes in the TV, I make everyone shut up for thirty seconds!

My favorite footage of PIB is from the Charlie Is My Darling video... Total madness...
