This song wasnt even considered for the album until Brian put his Mellotron touch to it. In the last 30 seconds of the episode, while Fez and Angie are talking, the album "The Dark" by Metal Church can be seen in one of the record bins. Margotin and Guesdon suggest the claves were played by Eddie Kramer, the session's assistant sound engineer.
"Sgt. Peppers" was the good trip, "Satanic Majesty's" was the bad trip. "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" was probably somewhere in between. At the time Beatles and Stones fans were constantly at war with each other over who was the more important band. Beatles fans accused the Stones of constantly ripping off the Fab 4. Thus 'Satanic' was considsered a rip-off of 'Pepper' and 'Beggar's Banquet', with its off-white sleeve, was considered a rip-off of the 'White Album'.

That synthesizer was featured on several songs on this album. Yes, the Mellotron plays the haunting string sounds, but it's the Moog playing the spacey AM radio sounds. There's lots of information surrounding the Mellotron out there, and plenty more surrounding the Moog. GREAT SONG. Never understood why people STILL love to slag this album off.
He played two tracks of several dissonant and unorthodox chords, then one track was reversed. Genius is the ultimate source of music knowledge, created by scholars like you who share facts and insight about the songs and artists they love. The song was recorded by the band at Olympic Studios during July and September 1967.
000 Light Years From Homeby The Rolling Stones
The title is a takeoff on the inside of the Brisith passport that says "Her Brittanic Majesties Request". Yes the mix is a bit muddy but the mellotron and arrangement more than compensate in their brilliance. The rest of the songs are excellent as well but take multiple listens to really appreciate.
A good solid psychedelic tune from the Stones from the summer of '67. But some songs on Satanic are good; personnally I like She's like a Rainbow, Citadel, 2000 Lights Years from Home, Two Thousand Man and In Another Land. It sounds really creepy, but somewhow it works.

I wish that NASA would have beamed this through space instead of the Beatle's Across the Universe. But is tremendously fine a piece of music and nothing like it was done before and nothing like it happened after. It was also kind of swansong of Brian Jones, Stones' Syd Barrett or Peter Gabriel . TSMR is one of the most underrated albums; even the Rolling Stones disregard it.
The working title of the instrumental backing was "Toffee Apple". Brian Jones performs prominent accompaniment on Mellotron. "2000 Light Years from Home" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on their 1967 album Their Satanic Majesties Request. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it also appeared as the B-side to the American single "She's a Rainbow", and charted as a single in Germany.

I listened to this, then "Can you hear me knocking" The difference hurts. Because they definitely are not a psychedelic band; bad memories may play a role too. Ace Frehley of the band KISS did a cover of 2000 years on one of their albums. Verified reviews are considered more trustworthy by fellow moviegoers.

In 1991, a live version was released as the B-side to "Highwire." I would like to hear more of this album, though. All artists need to experiment, and the Rolling Stones are no exception. But I couldn't believe it was them when I heard this song just now. The rolling stones are not a psychicadellic band.
That being said, if The Stones had put a few other songs from the same sessions and time period it would have really rounded out the record. The Stones played this on their Steel Wheels tour in 1989. A show in Atlantic City was broadcast with this song shot in 3D, which viewers could see using those goofy glasses.
If you can recall the days when MTV played videos, you know that there are lots of stories to tell. The guy who brought us "Stacy's Mom" also wrote the Jane Lynch Emmy song and Stephen Colbert's Christmas songs. The Australian band Jet took their name from the 1973 song of the same by Paul McCartney and Wings. Adele got the title "Rolling In The Deep" from the British saying "Roll Deep," which means to look after someone. She was "rolling deep" with her boyfriend until he betrayed her. From "Their Satanic Majesties Requests" album.
Most Stones fans hate the album, for it is very different to the normal blusy stuff form the band. Some people compare it to The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, because of the cover.....i don't think they have a lot in common. In '89 when performed during the Steel Wheels tour Jagger changed the lyrics from 100,600, 1000 and 2000 Lightyears to only 2000 Lightyears. The eerie, but also maybe the best song of that album. Someone once said that this album represented the dark side to all of the hallucinogenic experimentation going on during 1967.
“2000 Light Years From Home” is a song from The Rolling Stones' 1967 psychedelic rock album Their Satanic Majesties Request. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it also appeared as the B-side to the US single “She’s a Rainbow”, and charted as a single in Germany. Jagger reportedly wrote the lyrics in Brixton prison following his conviction on drug charges in June 1967. The working title of the instrumental backing was “Toffee Apple”. The prominent string part is played by Brian Jones on mellotron. The sound effects at the beginning of the song before the melody starts was played by him on a piano.
Critic Reviews for Alabama: 2000 Light Years From Home
The mellotron was an analog sampling instrument, in which a short tape reel was played back at various speeds depending on which key the player pressed. Most of the tapes contained samples of orchestras. They were notoriously unreliable instruments, frequently breaking and difficult to tour with. This original version of 2000' is interesting to hear to remember 1968 psychedelic period. The live version is really more interesting today.
Scrobbling is when Last.fm tracks the music you listen to and automatically adds it to your music profile. Rock Stars - especially those in the metal realm - are often enlisted for horror movies. See if you know can match the rocker to the role.
