The Rolling Stones, in minor keys

[trixtah]

There are quite a number of their tracks I like, and the ones I like are almost all in minor keys.

So, here goes:

Gimme Shelter - C# minor (static image only with this clip, which is the Altamont version)

Paint It Black - Fm (who says emo is a recent phenomenon? Also, Smells Like Teen Spirit is in this key. How's that for useless information? I still like the alt.cheerleaders in that Nirvana clip, and the memories of playing pool in the dyke club with this blaring on the jukebox. There may or may not have been air guitar with a pool cue. Getting back to the Stones, the screaming in that clip explains why my mother walked out of the show they played in Auckland in the late 60s - she couldn't hear the music.)

Angie - Am (I am almost entirely sick of this song, but I really really loved it once upon a time)

Miss You - Am (doo doo-doo doo-doo-doo, doo doo-doo doo-doo-doo, doo da doo-doo - I love the guitar in this)

And two more for cheating purposes, just cos I like them (E major really is almost a minor key anyway, IMNSHO)

Sympathy for the Devil - E Maj  (yes, 8 minutes of Mick actually almost attractive wriggling around in his wee pants, Keith and Bill looking as thick as ever, and Charlie as cool as always. I do find it strange with these clips that have Brian in them)

Satisfaction -  E Maj (and a bit of cheesy cheese to top it off)
