Awesome The Rolling Stones

Sandstorm on a Pipe Organ

Sandstorm on a Pipe Organ

Musician Alexander Uhl loves to perform rock, pop, and movie music on a church pipe organ. His YouTube channel is packed with covers including this version of Darude’s 1999 trance hit Sandstorm. We also suggest checking out his covers of Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer and Cutting Crew’s (I Just) Died In Your Arms.

The Beatles vs. The Stones, Animated

The Beatles vs. The Stones, Animated

Whether or not there was a true rivalry, the media loved to play up the competition between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Dog & Rabbit’s brilliantly executed short film plays out this battle through a series of slapstick collages animated using the dueling rock bands’ album art. Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python animations were clearly a source of inspiration.

Bardcore musician Hildegard von Blingin’ is back with another great medieval interpretation of a popular song. This time, we’ve got The Rolling Stones’ 1966 classic Paint It, Black, which works incredibly well with the centuries-old instrumentation and revised Old English lyrics. Just wait for the choir to kick in at the end. You won’t be disappointed.

Paint It, Black: Bardcore Edition

Paint It, Black: Bardcore Edition

Constantine Bard presents a sweeping medieval-style cover version of The Rolling Stones’ 1966 hit song Paint It, Black. While we love how the original adds so much depth with Brian Jones’ sitar playing, this version feels even more epic in its scope.

(I Can’t Get No) Ragtime Satisfaction

(I Can’t Get No) Ragtime Satisfaction

There I Ruined It reimagines another song as the worst version of itself. This time, they converted The Rolling Stones’ classic Satisfaction into a Scott Joplin-esque ragtime ditty that absolutely nobody asked for. Though we actually enjoyed it more than Cat Power’s version.

Living in a Ghost Town

Living in a Ghost Town

It seems age is no barrier to The Rolling Stones producing quality music. Their April 2020 release is as good as many songs from the height of their popularity, and seems especially timely when set against imagery of empty cities photographed during the coronavirus pandemic.

Paint it Carbon Black
