She explained: \"We opened for The Rolling Stones two nights at Madison Square Garden in NYC and since then analyzing what they represent has become a favorite theme of band conversations. In this song we ask the age-old question, 'Who would you rather be: The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?' Here's Jimmy's answer: 'Neither. One is dead and the other is corporate.'\"\n--\nThe title is a combination of two Rolling Stones songs: \"Gimme Shelter\" and \"Sympathy For The Devil.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
