The Rolling Stones are a British blues-based rock band which has been described (first by stage manager Sam Cutler in 1969) as "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" and has been doing its best to justify the description for more than half a century.The Stones were formed in London in June of 1962, when guitarist and original leader Brian Jones recruited pianist Ian "Stu" Stewart, soon followed by vocalist Mick Jagger, who brought along guitarist Keith Richards. After a series of fill-ins, bassist Bill Wyman joined up in December 1962 and drummer Charlie Watts in January 1963, completing the first stable line-up. After the band recruited Andrew Loog Oldham to be their manager, Stewart was removed from the official line-up, as Oldham felt that six members were too many, and Stewart was the odd one out image-wise. However, Stu took the demotion admirably well and continued to work with the band as their road manager and main pianist and keyboardist until his death in 1985.The band's early recordings largely consisted of covers of American blues and R&B songs, while their earliest self-penned numbers were credited under the collective pseudonym Nanker/Phlege. After first achieving success in the UK with a cover of Lennon and McCartney's "I Wanna Be Your Man" in late 1963, they crossed the Atlantic as part of the first wave of The British Invasion in 1964. However, their first U.S. tour was famously a disaster, with the Stones having no major hit to tour on, getting mocked by Dean Martin on national TV, and regularly failing to sell tickets well. Their big breakthrough came in 1965, when their hit singles "The Last Time" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", as well as their third album Out of Our Heads, shot the Stones into superstardom on both sides of the pond. By this time, Jagger and Richards had taken the leadership role from Jones in the group, largely on the strength of their now-fertile songwriting partnership.Starting with their 1966's Aftermath (Album), the songs of Jagger and Richards, aided by the instrumental experimentation of Jones, expanded the band's ever-present stylistic flexibility. The experimentation continued through 1967 with the baroque pop album Between the Buttons and climaxed with the polarizing album Their Satanic Majesties Request and single "We Love You". 1967 proved to be an important year for the Stones, who came close to breaking up. Jagger, Jones, and Richards were all hit by drug busts, which would have a devastating impact on Jones in particular. Oldham, who had worked as their manager and producer since 1963, quit around this time, feeling that his partnership with the band had run its course. This led to the Stones self-producing Satanic Majesties.In 1968, the band recruited Jimmy Miller as record producer and chose to return to a back-to-basics approach to their music after the psychedelic excesses from the previous year. Beggars Banquet proved to be the last hurrah for Brian Jones, who was hit by another drug bust, and stopped making major contributions to the band's music. His health had also been affected by drug use, and as a result of the drug busts, he was unable to gain a visa to tour in America. Jones's final contributions to the band were autoharp on "You Got the Silver" and percussion on "Midnight Rambler" from Let It Bleed. Matters soon came to a head, and Jones was forced to leave the band he had founded and named, replaced by Mick Taylor. Jones sadly drowned in his own swimming pool several weeks after his departure, and just a few days before Taylor had his first gig with the band—at Hyde Park, which was transformed into a tribute concert for Jones. Taylor recorded five studio albums with the Stones (including Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St., which along with their two predecessors are widely regarded as one of the greatest four-album streaks in rock music history) before quitting in 1974. Former Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood stepped in, became an official member in February 1976, and has been with the band ever since. Wyman quit in 1993; bassist Darryl Jones, who is not an official band member, has worked with the group since then.Charlie Watts died on August 24, 2021, at the age of 80.They have released 23 studio albums in the UK (25 in the US), 19 live albums, and numerous compilations; and have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide. Sticky Fingers from 1971 began a string of eight straight studio albums that charted at number one in the United States. In 1989, The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with every official member included in the induction. In 2004 and again in 2011, they were ranked at number four in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Their image of unkempt and surly youth (originally cultivated in large part to contrast them with The Beatles) is one that many musicians still emulate. The band's attitude and style were major influences on Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk Rock, and Alternative Rock bands that followed them.For the Heinlein novel, see The Rolling Stones (1952). | |

Darker and Edgier: Beggars Banquet was the album that truly set the template for the band's sleazy, raunchy sound following the psychedelic experimentation of Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request (and the grittier but still comparatively tame R&B covers and pop singles of their early period). The Stones themselves, of course, were initially seen as a Darker and Edgier alternative to The Beatles. | |

Protest Song | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: "We Love You" (1967): Outwardly a message to their fans for their support in the wake of Jagger and Richards' then-recent drug busts. However, beneath the surface it was a sarcastic riposte to the police harassment they had been receiving at the time. "Street Fighting Man" (1968): A commentary on the violence and civil unrest of the late 1960s. Jagger said the song was inspired by British activist Tariq Ali after he attended a 1968 antiwar rally at which mounted police attempted to control a crowd of 25,000. "Salt of the Earth" (1969): Apparently the result of John Lennon inspiring the Stones to write a working-class anthem; its lyrics (primarily written by Jagger) salute the working class, although Jagger admits that he finds it difficult to understand them. "Sweet Black Angel" (1972): An expression of support for imprisoned Black Panther activist Angela Davis, who was facing murder charges at the time (she was acquitted later that year). "Fingerprint File" (1974): Expresses frustration over government monitoring and surveillance activity. "Hang Fire" (1981): Contains satirical lyrics about the economic decline Britain was facing throughout the 1970s; it's also sung from the perspective of a working-class Englishman who finds even marrying into wealth to be too much bother ("Marrying money is a full-time job"), even though it's implied to be the only way to get ahead in English society ("We've got nothing to eat/We got nowhere to work/Nothing to drink/We just lost our shirts"). Richards said the song was directed at the "ugly politicians" who caused the country to decline when the "money got tight". "Undercover of the Night" (1983): A protest of the political repression in Argentina and Chile at the time. "Highwire" (1991): A protest of the First Gulf War. "It's not about the war. It's about how it started," Jagger said. Richards added, "This is not about the war. It's about how you build up some shaky dictator. You can't build them up, 'cause then you've got to slam them down." "Sweet Neo Con" (2005): A biting critique of the American right wing, particularly the George W. Bush administration. It opens with the following lines, and continues in similar fashion from there: | |

Always Someone Better: Now, we're not saying The Stones are considered bad (they have a reputation of being music legends, after all), but they were often overshadowed by more popular bands or artists at the time throughout the decades they were active: The Beatles in the '60s, Led Zeppelin and KISS in the '70s, Michael Jackson and Guns N' Roses in the '80s, Nirvana in the '90s, etc. | |

New Sound Album | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Aftermath (Album) began to add elements of psychedelia to their early mod sound. Its follow up, Between the Buttons, took them into full-blown psychedelic rock, continuing with this on Their Satanic Majesties Request. Beggars Banquet codified their most well-known sound of bluesy, loose, garage rock. Some Girls played with elements of punk rock and disco, and Emotional Rescue and Undercover incorporated elements of synth-pop. | |

Bathroom Stall Graffiti | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_222ca815 | comment |
Bathroom Stall Graffiti: The original cover for Beggars Banquet. Decca Records found it so offensive at the time that they refused to use it, substituting a plain white cover with a fake dinner invitation instead. The original cover would eventually be restored for the album's CD reissue. The controversy over the intended cover led to the album's release being delayed by several months... during which another little-known English pop group happened to release a double album with an all-white cover of their own. This led to the Stones being accused of ripping off said album cover come the release of Banquet, even though they themselves never had anything to do with it. | |

Special Guest | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_2719ab04 | comment |
Special Guest: Phil Spector and Gene Pitney play maracas and piano, respectively, on "Little by Little" and "Now I've Got a Witness". From the same sessions, they also appear (along with Graham Nash and Allan Clarke) on the unreleased (and very X-rated) "Andrew's Blues". In fact, Spector sings lead on that particular ditty. John Lennon and Paul McCartney perform backing vocals on "We Love You". Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott perform backing vocals on "In Another Land". Gospel singer Merry Clayton performs backing vocals (and even a couple of lead lines) on "Gimme Shelter". That song is also a great excuse to bring in a famous female singer during live shows; those who have done so include Florence Welch, Lady Gaga, and Mary J. Blige. Ron Wood and Kenney Jones play guitar and drums, respectively, on "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)", two years before Wood joined the Stones officially. David Bowie sang co-lead on the original recording of "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)", although his vocals were wiped for the finished version. Ditto Pete Townshend on "Slave". Jazz great Sonny Rollins plays saxophone on "Waiting for a Friend". Jimmy Page plays guitar on "One Hit (To the Body)". Eric Clapton plays guitar on the live Flashpoint version of "Little Red Rooster", as well as on "Everybody Knows About My Good Thing" and "I Can't Quit You Baby" from Blue & Lonesome. No Security includes a guest appearance by Dave Matthews on "Memory Motel". Angus and Malcolm Young joined the band onstage to play "Rock Me Baby" a few times in 2003. Live Licks includes guest appearances by Sheryl Crow ("Honky Tonk Women") and Solomon Burke ("Everybody Needs Somebody to Love"). Shine a Light includes guest appearances by Christina Aguilera ("Live With Me"), Jack White ("Loving Cup"), and Buddy Guy ("Champagne and Reefer"). | |

Pen Name: The pseudonym "Nanker Phelge" was used for several early group compositions.note "Nankering" or "pulling a nanker" was the Stones' slang term for making a face, while "Phelge" was a Shout-Out to Jimmy Phelge, who shared a London flat with Mick, Keith, and Brian prior to the group's success. | |

Out of Focus | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Brian Jones, originally the Stones' leader, was relegated to an increasingly secondary role as the '60s progressed, due to such factors as Oldham taking over the band's management (Jones and Oldham didn't particularly like each other), the emergence of the Jagger-Richards writing partnership (Jones couldn't or wouldn't write usable songs for the group, which made him far less important as their commercial ambitions grew), deteriorating relations with his bandmates (exacerbated by a Love Triangle between Jones, Richards, and Anita Pallenberg), and his own personal problems (including severe drug and alcohol abuse and a corresponding deterioration in his physical and mental health). As a result of all this, Jones contributed little to the Stones' music after 1967; his final album with the band, Let It Bleed, features him on just two tracks (congas on "Midnight Rambler" and autoharp on "You Got the Silver"). | |

Step Up to the Microphone: Keith Richards sings lead on numerous songs including "You Got the Silver", "Happy", "Before They Make Me Run", "Little T&A", etc. Often lampshaded by Jagger in concert, where he usually introduces the band right before Keith sings a song or two. To heighten the effect, Keith is last, wherein Jagger introduces him "on guitar and now the vocals". Bill Wyman sings lead on "In Another Land", his sole writing credit for the Stones' core catalogue. Brian Jones shares harmony vocals with Jagger on the choruses of "Walking the Dog". | |

Unreplaced Departed | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_7e83bf21 | comment |
Unreplaced Departed: After Bill Wyman departed in 1993, the remaining members brought Darryl Jones in to play bass on records and tours as a hired musician and not as a replacement to Wyman within the group. If the Stones continue on their current course, their time without Wyman will exceed the time he spent with them in 2024. | |

The Fashionista: Charlie Watts was famous for his fashion sense. He frequently showed up on "best dressed" lists. All of the Stones embraced this heavily◊ circa 1967. | |

Canon Discontinuity: The band's Decca Records albums up to Between the Buttons; the altered American releases by London Records are officially considered the canon versions. It's an inversion of most other British bands such as the Capitol albums by The Beatles in that the American versions are considered canon instead of the other way around. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Charlie Watts originally abstained from drugs and alcohol, but when he began indulging in the mid-1980s, his use got so extreme that Keith Richards - yes, the man who probably qualifies as the Trope Codifier for Immune to Drugs - told him he was doing too much. Watts himself later admitted that he nearly lost his marriage because of it. | |

Take That!: "We Love You" was the Stones' "valentine" to the British establishment following the group's harassment by police and media throughout 1967, which culminated in an infamous drug raid at Keith Richards' home and the attempted imprisonment of he and Jagger for possession. When Decca Records told them they were obligated to deliver one more single after leaving the label, the band gave them the unreleasable "Cocksucker Blues". It was released in Germany and did well there, though. | |

Sympathy for the Devil aka One Plus One (1968) is actually directed by Godard himself. It features digressive vignettes on politics and student movements intercut with actual footage showing the recording sessions in studio for "Sympathy for the Devil". The producer of the film famously re-titled the film after the song, outraging Godard and leading him to remark, "They wanted to make my One Plus One equal two!" | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Shortly after becoming the Stones' business manager in 1964, Andrew Loog Oldham had keyboardist Ian Stewart demoted to road manager, ostensibly on the grounds that six were too many for a pop group but more likely because Stewart's short-haired, lantern-jawed appearance didn't fit the image that Oldham was trying to cultivate for the band. However, he did continue to contribute to the Stones' recordings and perform in the background as their touring keyboardist (but not a full member of the band) until his death. When the Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, the band requested that Stewart be inducted as a member as well. Brian Jones, originally the Stones' leader, was relegated to an increasingly secondary role as the '60s progressed, due to such factors as Oldham taking over the band's management (Jones and Oldham didn't particularly like each other), the emergence of the Jagger-Richards writing partnership (Jones couldn't or wouldn't write usable songs for the group, which made him far less important as their commercial ambitions grew), deteriorating relations with his bandmates (exacerbated by a Love Triangle between Jones, Richards, and Anita Pallenberg), and his own personal problems (including severe drug and alcohol abuse and a corresponding deterioration in his physical and mental health). As a result of all this, Jones contributed little to the Stones' music after 1967; his final album with the band, Let It Bleed, features him on just two tracks (congas on "Midnight Rambler" and autoharp on "You Got the Silver"). | |

Happily Married | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_bec0417c | comment |
Happily Married: Charlie Watts was the only member of the band still married to his first wife, Shirley, who he married before the Stones became famous. His devotion to his wife is well known: When the band visited the Playboy Mansion in 1972, Watts played pool with Hugh Hefner instead of hanging out with the Bunnies like the rest of the band. He also consistently turned down sexual advances from groupies while on the road, and most likely remained faithful to her until his death. (His marriage did suffer a crisis due to his substance abuse during the mid-'80s, but he recovered, and their marriage survived until his death.) | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The cover of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album has a doll wearing a sweater with "Welcome the Rolling Stones" on the front. The Stones returned the favour by hiding pictures of the Beatles' faces on the Their Satanic Majesties Request cover. The original bathroom stall cover of Beggars Banquet includes such graffiti as "Bob Dylan's Dream" and "Music from Big Brown". The original Some Girls cover layout shows the band members' faces superimposed with those of such famous Hollywood actresses as Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett, Judy Garland, Raquel Welch, Eartha Kitt, Lucille Ball, Brigitte Bardot, and Elizabeth Taylor. This backfired when Ball, Fawcett, Welch, the Monroe estate and Liza Minnelli on behalf of her late mother Judy Garland threatened legal action, forcing the album to be withdrawn and the cover altered for all subsequent pressings and reissues. | |

Country Music | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_cb1d1694 | comment |
Country Music: They have written a sizeable number of songs in this genre of varying degrees of sincerity. From Sticky Fingers we have the example of "Dead Flowers" which is an Anti-Love Song featuring deliberately trashy musicianship intended to sound like the band members themselves were trashed when they recorded it. The same album also contains the example of "Wild Horses", which is played completely seriously and, like many of the best songs of the genre, is utterly heartbreaking. | |

Cover Version | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: ...bringing back a tradition of the band's old days. Their first singles were Chuck Berry's "Come On" and The Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man", their debut album has only one Jagger-Richards song, and so on. It became more sporadic as the Glimmer Twins wrote more and more, with examples from the 70s to the 90s including "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "Just My Imagination", "Harlem Shuffle" and "Like a Rolling Stone". Occasionally they covered songs that they themselves wrote or cowrote. "As Tears Go By", which Jagger and Richards cowrote with the Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham, was a Marianne Faithfull song before the Stones recorded their version. Faithfull recorded "Sister Morphine" first too - and she cowrote it with Jagger and Richards. Unfortunately, her version of "Sister Morphine" was released on a single that Decca quickly withdrew in the UK (although it remained in print in some other territories), which has caused it to be almost forgotten. | |

Subdued Section | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_d294e6ba | comment |
Subdued Section: "Let's Spend the Night Together" has a bridge where the whole band drops out except organ, bass, and percussive clicks (which engineer Glyn Johns says were batons borrowed from two police officers who stopped by the studio to make sure things were all right when they noticed the building's door was open), Jagger sings softer, and there are some choirlike, wordless vocal harmonies before they tear back into the song. | |

Sympathy for the Devil | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_d3a4af1e | comment |
Sympathy for the Devil: Trope Namer. Ironically, the song in question is a subversion of the trope, as the Devil spends the whole song bragging about how evil he is. Or rather, sarcastically confessing how evil and horrible he is, when "after all it was you and me": that is to say, the Devil is the Anthropomorphic Personification of humanity's own capacity for evil...but you can just call him Lucifer. Lucifer also threatens to "lay your soul to waste" if you don't show him sympathy or respect. Yikes. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: The Stones have a knack for combining beautiful, moving music with severely screwed-up lyrics full of sex (and definitely not of the Safe, Sane, and Consensual kind), drugs, violence, and general weirdness. Case in point: "Brown Sugar", the only upbeat song on the Sticky Fingers album. It's about slave rape on American cotton plantations. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: "Mother's Little Helper", which is about a housewife abusing prescription drugs (presumably meprobamate (Miltown) or diazepam (Valium)) to deal with her everyday life, eventually leading to a fatal overdose. The first line gives a clue as to her deep motive: "What a drag it is getting OLD..." The final stanza of "Sister Morphine" mentions that "you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead." | |

Determinator: Keith, of course. Also, the character "Jumpin' Jack Flash" The band as a whole. To illustrate: as noted they are "only" number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In the top 26, note The 2004 and 2011 list's top 26 are identical. Mick and Keith have literally, in the true sense of the word, outlived the majority of the artists listed. Further, in terms of active or even semi-active careers, only Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and The Beach Boys rival the lads in rock and roll longevity. | |

Lead Drummer: Charlie Watts may have qualified as a downplayed example; he was nowhere near as well-known as Jagger or Richards, but apart from those two, he's the only Rolling Stone to appear on every record until his death. Both rock critics and fellow drummers also regarded him as one of the greatest rock drummers of all time (for an example of each, critic Robert Christgau called him the greatest, and Phil Collins named him as one of his five favourite drummers in a 2020 interviewnote alongside Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, John Bonham, and Buddy Rich.), and after his death, tributes unanimously poured out that noted how important he was to the Stones' sound. | |

Solo Side Project: Every main member has released solo albums or worked on solo projects while being a member of the Stones (save for Mick Taylor, whose solo debut didn't come until well after he'd left the band). Bill Wyman was the first to do this with a proper studio album (Monkey Grip) in 1974, although Brian Jones wrote and recorded a film soundtrack (A Degree of Murder) in 1967 which was never officially released, and produced an album of Moroccan folk music (Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Jajouka) that was released posthumously in 1971. | |

Immune to Drugs | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_f912a750 | comment |
Immune to Drugs: Keith Richards. A lesser man would have died long ago taking half the amount of drugs he's taken in his life. To put this in perspective, Richards admitted he only quit cocaine in 2006 after his head injury in Fiji, meaning he only quit hard drugs when he was sixty-three. And even now, in his late 70's, he still enjoys cocktails and cannabis in his downtime. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| The Rolling Stones (Band) (Music) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Charlie Watts (the quiet, well-dressed, groupie-spurning one, and a notable aversion of the All Drummers Are Animals trope) was awoken one night by Mick Jagger (who was drunk) calling his room asking where "my drummer" was. Watts proceeded to get up, shave and dress in a pressed suit. He then walked down to Jagger's room and sent him flying with what Keith Richards called "a great fucking right hook". Jagger flew into a table and nearly slid out the window before Richards grabbed his leg. Watts yelled, "Don't ever call me 'your drummer' again, you're my fucking singer!" and left. (Watts later expressed regret for this, attributing his behaviour to alcohol. Richards, for his part, noted in his autobiography that part of the reason he caught Jagger was that he was wearing Richards' wedding jacket at the time.) | |
