    Gimme Shelter quotes

    • Grace Slick: It's alright. It's kind of weird up here.

      Paul Kantner: Hey, man, I'd like to mention that the Hell's Angels just smashed Marty Balin in the face and knocked him out for a bit. I'd like to thank you for that.

      Grace Slick: There is - eh - other ways...

      Sonny Barger: Wait - is this on? If you talk to me, I'm gonna talk to you.

      Paul Kantner: I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the people who hit my lead singer in the head.

      Sonny Barger: You're talking to my people. Let me tell you what's happening. You - is what's happening! Hey! Ho!
