FeaturingMick Jaggeron powerful vocals and Richards' iconic guitar shredding, "Bitch" became more than a B-side track to "Brown Sugar." The punchy song was riddled with popularity and controversy over its title and suggestive lyrics, but it didn't stop fans from falling in love with it.
The track appears on its surface to be a standard rock song, but its blaring use of horns and drama made it a Rolling Stone staple in the classic rock genre. What made it stand out was Richards' hard-hitting guitar riff, which he recorded in one take after being late to the recording session.
“I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar, he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it,” Johns added. “Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought, Wow. That’s what he does. Instantly it went from not very good, feels weird, to BAM and there it is. Instantly changed gears, which impressed the shit out of me.”
It may not be surprising that Rolling Stone would run into some issues with "Bitch" due to its suggestive lyrics. Jagger felt the track was more than worthy to be released as a standalone single, but the record label thought otherwise. The band often had trouble getting on the radio due to their provocative lyrics and drug references, but Jagger felt there "was never anything written that was offensive in that."
Critics have often tagged the track as one of the band's best, and one that fans can easily rock out to.
