Like a guitar riff, born in a hotel room in Florida, he changed the course of music
On the one hand the Beatles, on the other, the Rolling Stones: the snapshot of music that changed the face of the rankings and the lives of millions teenagers forever is enclosed in the crime of the first months of 1965. In England i Fab Fourin particular, John and Paul closed in a Kenwood attic struggling with the harmonious lap of Help!a cry of help born from Lennon’s unusual for his life and marriage. On the other side Keith Richardsin a hotel room in Clearwater, Florida, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and the inevitable bottle of whiskey.
Richards supports a Philips box recorder on the bed e The riff that will change the career of the Rolling Stones and the course of music. Then, he falls asleep with the access recorder and wakes up a few hours later. Litting the cassette and finds the guitar tour which will then become (I Can’t Get no) Satiscation And he who will be goodly after the umpteenth drunk.
A few days later Mick Jagger will start writing the text of the song, which is engraved in a completely acoustic first version with Brian Jones at the harmonica and then transformed into what we know in the RCA Hollywood studios. A curiosity: although Keith Richards was the author of the guitar riff, his idea for the final mix of the piece was that the guitar tour was played by a wind section. Fortunately, the definitive incision, still in mono, was in the sign of a powerful distorted guitar. The 45 laps arrived in American stores on June 4, 1965 and in the British ones on August 20 of the same year.
From the point of view of the text, the song, which went first to both America and England, perfectly captures the spirit of the times. Not only for sexual allusions And the urgent desire to close in a room with a girl, but also for the criticism of consumerism and status quo of the society of the sixties. A rebellion hymn That as soon as he arrives in the ear of the boys of the weather becomes the soundtrack of their life.
