Keith Richards performs with The Rolling Stones in Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Rolling Stones have several hit songs, but the one that skyrocketed their fame was “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and lead singer Mick Jagger wrote the 1965 track. While Richards initially disliked the song, he realized later on what made the song so successful.

“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” was one of the first songs to use what Richards called a “fuzz tone.” The effect was utilized using a Maestro fuzzbox, which added a distorted sound to the guitar and bass. Sales of the Maestro fuzzbox shot up after this song was released because other artists wanted to recreate this sound. In his memoir, Life, Richards said the “fuzz tone” made “Satisfaction” such a hit.
