Perfection! Simple, swaggering, groovy and dangerous. And with Mick Jagger on absolute top form.
The live version from Detroit even takes it a notch further. The original 9 minute version is also a joy to listen to.
An untamed beast, a wild rocker – love it!
That's rich coming from the SEX PISTOLS, a band nearly devoid of any musical talent whatsoever.Quote

Hampton 81 is my favorite version. More than any other song from Some Girls this makes
undoubtedly clear that "one of the most notoriously inept bands in music" (as Jonny Rotten
called them) were still The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World.

Wow - only 12 posts for a song off an album generally acknowledged to be in the Stones' top 5.

That's a gross underestimation of the clear talents of John Lydon and Steve Jones.

When The Whip Comes Down
Yeah, mama and papa told me I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York, which is a fag in L.A.
So I saved my money and I took the plane
Wherever I go, they just treat me the same
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah
Yeah I go to 53rd Street and they spit in my face
But I'm learning the ropes, yeah, I'm learning a trade
The East River truckers are churning with trash
I've got so much money but I spend it so fast
When the whip comes down - yeah
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the shit hits the fan, I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
Yeah, some call me garbage when I'm sweeping up the street
But I never roll and I never cheat
And I'm filling a need, yeah, I'm plugging a hole
My mama's so glad I ain't on the dole
When the whip comes down - yes
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the shit hits the fan, I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, go ahead, sugar
Yes...
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah I'll be running this town
I'll tell you
When the shit hits the fan, baby, I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down
Yeah
Oooh!
Why baby, why, why baby
I'll tell you
I'll be running this town
Check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
Yeah, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down

I thought
row: as in fight, English saying.
All right, I went overboard, but still...I know it was Rotten's M.O. to slam the decadent rock bands of the '60s and early '70s, but that statement just rubbed me the wrong way coming from him.Quote

When The Whip Comes down is a good example for the rediscovered simple, raw and guitar-driven sound and rocking approach but it is just average, nothing to get excited about.
