Original subtitles

As you can to the

long you've been around my accepted you are.

Because the people that were there the beginning who will at nineteen a now.

Not teenagers and

the other ones

they just accept you if you've been around for fat four or five years

so i start thinking i might be something in it after.

I was

once.

A musician.

Nobody else they want to do they say you have to make

the whole thing others.

Is a big part of it was the only part of

how

hey spoke.

Days of playing in a suit.

The.

I need also to the uncomfortable.

Even though we didn't really do that many shopping

things and yeah the days people were easily shocked.

Today there's so much variety that i don't think that the

think then could happen quite that same light.

To me is just in the day's work.

The rolling stones are

arguably the most renowned and enduring band of all the time

the music has spanned over five decades

influencing generations.

It's

good yeah fifty years season opener a long time but it's nice to go.

Good looking back it's caught musing.

When it is that when it isn't close

five i say is good.

To this day

the band is still going strong

selling out tours around the world

and releasing albums that still top the charts.

The unique sound and personalities what is set them apart from

every other ban to date

what have you stayed together as long as you have.

Cause we enjoy it

this is

another insight into an ongoing machine at and

institution that will never stop rumbling in

one of the most important rock bands and so far.

A

in music history of media

and can't really deny that

anybody should be interesting where we are

going to quit there should be the stones and

they're not particularly interested

in that.

Rolling stones are they are.

As.

Dartford station

Kent

nineteen sixty two.

By chance

former classmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards meet on the railway platform.

Keith spots mix records

and in that moment

the greatest friendship in recent history begins.

Invested muddy waters and

in

ups

a very under zone.

Baby.

Nice to see about what did you get the records.

A few months later

the new musical duo meet their future drummer

and lead guitarist at the ealing club in London.

Charlie watts

and Brian Jones were playing with fellow blues musician

Alexis corner.

He played with the Lexus and the

and

the the band that Alex has had that Charlie was playing drums and.

He actually persuade their license lang yan stage and play.

He heard and elmore James record for the first time in his life which

i never have been until about sixty five or something

sixty of.

He said the

the whole universe

shuddered

when he heard this

that you know that snide think

he made it he got slide

and

started finding

that he was by when making case first meant to say that's

the the unless it's going to ban.

After this meetup

Brian Jones decided to bring them all together

and form

the rolling stones.

Brian named the band formed the band

rehearsals.

Mcs idea of them everything with a and

will be doing before you joined.

I.

Just sit

around waiting

to happen many.

I had quite a few jobs and

i was trying to get a bad guy

but

and successful until i met with Lincoln Keith

from there

the band posted auditions for a bassist

and were absolutely blown away when they heard bill Wyman.

The band were heavily inspired by the forties and fifties blues and rock and roll

because of their hard he didn't guitar riffs and

relatable lyrics that reflected the postwar world

Chuck Berry

Elvis Presley

elmore James

and buddy Holly were

all inspirations.

The stones begun as a blues and spy by a rock band

what will forced to label themselves are and be to get noticed.

No it wasn't a bad thing to be a rock band they're really

not in these cubs have wanted to play him because it was the thing was it was

on be with us

because they were judged clubs you could get in if you could on be.

Was so we

already knew

none of it.

Army doesn't mean the same in those days on be met somebody else what it does now

so it meant

like

kind of blues

really blues bone anything

with a beat.

So we had to circumvent that that we of course we played rock mountainous we buy

Putnam's rotten

as anything but we did play

of blues

and so that's how we we want to be this rmb benefits of a little bit of craziness.

People didn't know what it was

saying that the audience the daylight.

Completely shocked and didn't have dance to it or how to react

then emerged songs never the rhythms it was bizarre that

leaves his own stores and smoke cigarettes and drink beers

just play amongst ourselves and if the audience clapped or something

we can the around

and if i didn't we just talked to

therapist

carried on it was

bizarre experience.

A nineteen sixty three

the stone showed off their blues influences with their first recorded track

come on the.

It's me my baby.

A single was a

UK old news has always

stayed on the charts for fourteen weeks.

The stones had made their Mark

and would continue to grow from there.

Quantum jet arrives at rain soaked kingsford Smith airport and on board are the pop

singers who rival the Beatles were popularity rolling stone.

Despite the rain about two hundred fans wait for the stones

as lead singer Mick Jagger

Brian Jones Keith Richard

and drama Charlie what's

your router will that.

What kind of remember

had it all.

We just met each other and jazz club number of

years ago.

That

the problem.

Yeah quite a bit of it yeah

the rolling stones were

forged by the blues which which then sort of represented a coin of and authenticity

in a danger and a kind of an edginess

and they were named after

to sewing

and they covered loads of loads of blue zones

and way that's always been the

the sort of the the heart of the sound and i

suppose the heart of how they feel about themselves

my first awareness of

the stones were day with this kind of threat to society you know these

kind of.

Delinquency

just being naughty things

in those days what what the the press portrayed as wall cause i see

now

world now by the time

but

for those days people who are easily shocked you've got remember that was

still a very.

Shocking all society that wasn't

there wasn't the kind of.

Kind of scandal mongering quite a in this way is there is now which is

so scandal on a daily basis

as a

as a staple diet of i think

so

it but they love scandal of course the news but beside the used to play awful

but

and

and

so

even though we didn't really do that many shocking

things in the early days people were easily shocked.

At.

Do i

and.

I don't remember my parents saying very much about them or

the parents.

Reasonably be

a

liberal and and

tolerant.

Attitude towards the stones but i sort of was entry you know

something about

jacka

and his strange sort of and George generous quality the the these lips and

and this this

incredible kind of

swagger that he hot

in nineteen sixty three

nineteen year old Andrew Luke oldham signed as the band's new producer.

He saw the potential is rising stars

and wanted to give them a brand new look

he transformed the stones into rebellious bad boys.

They were managed

apparently

the time but go to the mouse game who went on to manage the iPad

and Andrew obviously made a very good

presentation to make

the he should have

Andrews is manager

and Georgia got second best for the orbit.

Andrea this grow talent for sort of

making.

A splash and of fast.

Essentially attention on the

which would have taken a lot longer probably.

At someone like Andrea.

Was.

Younger than he is.

For a young

and very very irreverent attitude.

Later that year

old them as John Lennon and Paul McCartney to help

create a new original song for the band the result was

i want to be your man

which was released a huge success.

After a few months with the band

oldham secured the rolling stones a UK tour

and a u s to

and by nineteen sixty four

they had become one of the most popular bands in the UK

you

and Australia

with their closest competitors

being there once collaborators

the Beatles.

How do you compare your group with the Beatles.

I don't know how do you compare.

I don't convert all

know there's no point

but let's get right down to brass tacks do you think you're better than they are.

But what annoys it is

not the same group so we just do what we want and they do what they want and you

prefer us.

Today more them to us

diplomatic you see very diplomatic and i don't want to elaborate but do you feel you

do what you want to do better than they do what they want to do.

Over i

know i don't know what i want to do you say.

Very diplomatic

rolling stones

debut single came out and

anybody year after that the Beatles and

the Beatles had such a

kind of instant impact but they were kind of

something very friendly about them that they definitely

represented the kind of new energy of the sixties and youth

and

angelou golden very smart and the

position the stones

as the kind of threatening ones that they were

the ones for the you know for the oldest sibling

what do you think about John Lennon's returning

the

metal

water

the last.

A long time it should have done it as soon as you go there.

If they were the ones that have this kind of

this sexuality in this menace and this whole idea of

do let you don't go out with a moment.

You know what we started for.

Particularly to

two

young girls.

Six

was

in contrast.

One important existence

and they were the first to do it really was they stop wearing like matching

six

i think that and your old and

has to take some credit for saying okay you know we're just going to do.

Something a bit more.

Natural as mean not that sounds kind of like

fairly innocuous now but

then it was quite a statement

and

it was like we don't care

do i

was a big

part of it was the only part of it's how you act

you spoke

what you sending songs.

So but it never was so sit down in the committee and trying to counter

it became obvious to Andrew the that there was a market out there.

That wanted

something that

people could rebel against their parents

and Andrew just encourage them to other one clothes and.

They got slowly

will.

Refer and.

Harder

and that's how the image got develop.

See pictures of me sick picks up Jack your and

they just they look like bad boys you know as opposed to the Beatles see kind of

a sense would work just more

i football and and so cheeky chappie kind of boys next door in a way you know

so the stones were were very

true position just as the sort of the bad boys

and cultures

people's

and we never really consciously

cultivated this anti hero

image thing it was just

the way things involved and then people

tried to get us to

wear uniforms and a certain point i don't really know why always heavily into

the design

and the image really

and it was away from the

the

Beatles everyone looking at the same in suits and ties.

There was something.

Just much i think probably just.

Sexier black

funkier

dog cop

more dangerous about stones you know it a day.

You know that groups just hot or sort of

dirty primal so it quality to them but also a productive quality errors.

You know

a lot vehicles but.

I

just could never i couldn't have followed them in

ends of the earth.

Been nineteen sixty four

the band released the single

little red rooster

and achieved that first number one hit.

Teenagers when.

Then you must remember

that

a number one in those days with real a real number one

it wasn't just the.

You went to number one

to three four five hundred thousand single today

you're lucky to do on thirty or forty thousand

the band was finally a shot topping success.

In nineteenth sixty five

the rolling stones released what would be one of their most celebrated songs

satisfaction.

Channeling their rock'n'roll influences

this track stood out to audiences

as it married the frustrated society of the early sixties

the track was a massive hit

and finally the original songs were attracting audiences when you listen to early

rock and roll songs going through from like the mid fifties to

the mid sixties really

loads of songs are basically have got this kind of

pitchy impatient a young men who would just desperate to get laid essentially that as

the inspiration for loads of the early rock'n'roll songs

and satisfaction

is

maybe the best example of that it's this constant kind of

itchiness i need something to happen and

there's just a way the on one level that song is

is kind of

you know it's it's pretty trivial and on another way it

seems to be the most important message it's just like

you always wanting

there's just this sort of appetite and drive and

you need something to happen and you need to get what you want

satisfied for was the real break records.

I can remember we're driving on the pacific coast highway

and we punched a station and it played satisfy.

Pumps next.

Whole five stations on the side buttons

are plain playing

of.

The track was such a hit in the united states at that time

it was even featured as a cover on the nbc musical variety TV show

hullabaloo

in nineteen sixty five

one is going to dance

one of those swaying in awhile.

Zone ladies and gentlemen.

David winters

that says Plato romance

and.

Rolling stones early career went from positive

to positive

they had signed to decca records.

Increase their popularity around the world

and by nineteen sixty six

the stones had released six studio albums

including the critically praised number one album

aftermath.

However

during the mid to late sixties

culture was reshaping

changing the way music Saudi

in another example of every

photo phenomenon that sweeping the country

is a giant

lobbying

close relative to the be in

photo by happy happening life with the right

right.

Logan's were just as Brian as ever.

It

would be hippies and does plane pope

made a carnival clean with wild costumes

uninhibited dancing and general higher product

the attitude was she had something which was all about.

You not

love

nice things you know you didn't want to go to

beaches of the fight people he wanted to shit

listen to music dress up

a parties or more colorful it must've been a great

time to be London i wish i was there that you know.

By nineteen sixty seven

the hippie movement was in full swing.

During this year

the Beatles travel to India to reinvent themselves

and search for new inspiration

resulting in the release of the bands eight album

sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band.

I mean there was no music lock it before

the whole cover everything

taught

what was probably something

not everyone was may be aware of

the.

The Beatles

sergeant pepper album was

revolutionary with terrific.

It's

the cover designed by Peter Blake.

The the the music

it's very difficult nowadays to imagine the impact that that cat on a kind of

black and white world

the rolling stones also wanted to change their style

and join the hippie movement

in December

the stones released their album

this satanic majesties request

an album that was to supposedly drive the rolling stones into the hippie world

and bring psychedelic pop into their music.

So

they were sort of instead with the Beatles for a while you could say that satanic

majesties request was sort of that soldier Patrick

much much less good than soldier pattern but

around the time

of

when

satanic majesties request came out i think that they said have realized it wasn't

really true to them it didn't feel right it didn't figure with fencing tribute to

tell whether you a factor you are active

buyers

things like fire.

I dunno.

Yeah.

We sort of

we

were getting into sort of beads and hats and.

Flowers.

Me to belong to the

show the past Christmas

but

so we've got a bit

and i

post on McKay

the corporate commercial

right.

No because

we were just think about after about

two or three months because

when you talking about firepower don't mean

epically i just me or a sufficiently your page Nepal.

Where the way Keith Richards looks back on it was that

hate kind of

woke up one day is

you know i'm

feeling pretty angry about all of this

and we're not really my king music that

the

i mean Ruby Tuesday it's no it's not me you know.

Rainbow is no

it's no

true to Keith Richards spirit.

Corresponding the same time

you know they were busted they were targeted by

the police and some extent by the media

and

i think they felt you know it's almost like they were very victims of this whole

swinging London psychedelic carnaby street thing

so it's almost like the hippie band to sit

around was kind of

wearing flowers in that have

had sort of

come round and bit in them on the else you know he

hadn't worked well for them and it wasn't really.

Musically

true to their own blues roots i think

not only did the album only peak third on the charts

the band had been targeted for drug use by the police and media.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were arrested for possession

as well as losing Andrew oldham

as a producer

the as the sixties.

Developed

the the

national newspapers which had now taken

rock'n'roll to

from pages.

Became more and more interested

in

rock stars.

So therefore they'd spent years

being utilized by people like Andrew odom

to build up their

artists

so now they were interested in trying to bring them down.

A national newspaper

tip of the police to rate Keith Richards house at west wittering

the house

traces of Canada

and a python which kind of the.

Evidence that an unnamed

naked woman

was sitting on a sofa with a lug around her

was giving me a call today

inevitably

the stones find themselves at the center of this new

counter culture this new

and

quite dec couldn't say

drugs come in drugs can be very early

for everybody i mean you never was was smoking weighed in the early sixty so

much earlier than anybody realize it's think thinking they're already.

Drop acid by sixty five sixty six so

it by sixty nine.

Okay this is using

coke

and.

Smiling any early on a game on the me.

One.

And atala piano family.

You have to say that those drugs

to contribute to.

The sound of the stones

soon after Mick and Keith drug allegations Brian

Jones was also arrested for drug possession

giving the media more reason to portray the rolling stones in a negative light.

Across town LeBron James

face charges for possession of drugs.

Admitted that he didn't take

drugs of the past to smite extent.

Sentence mr original cp intelligence

you want occupy a position by would she have a large family.

Therefore it behooves you to set an example.

Jones was charged in his full name of

Louis Brian Jones a musician.

Has long fair hair was rumpled and he was an open necked shut with a flawed pattern.

Detective sergeant

Robin comfortable asked for the demands of the substance which she said of been found

when police called a journalist flat

between six and seven this morning

could be analyzed is alleged that the

substance was cannabis Jones is charged with illegal possession of it.

The hippie era was a disastrous time for the band.

Because of this

the stones decided to move away from the flower power movement

and go go back to their dark blues roots.

In nineteen sixty eight

the band released their intent single

jumping Jack flash

followed by the release of beggars banquet

so the psychedelic thing just

went out the window and.

Instead came in this

this kind of.

Said disheveled

i can only call it so

i sort of

they will look my hours to cross a trump's.

Look at.

The sleeve of

beggars banquet you know and.

There's nothing sort of.

This doesn't always sort of Paisley or.

Flowers in the habit of it they just they look like

look quite sinister actually quite sinister so out of that comes jumping Jack flash

which is just like wow i mean what is that it's just

a million miles from Ruby Tuesday it's dark aids

lo fi it's gritty it's got this slice it metallic

element

much more satanic this today

justice request

you know who is jumping Jack flash is that asap the devil you know.

As

they were better when they were moving into this kind of.

You know this sort of darker

turbulent

territory and there was always that

says it's that they they played on and in fact that

and the tabloid certainly

and

expanded on

was the sense that they would

dangerous

they seem to be.

Channeling the

goats

and zeit

this we go past.

This sort of

love and

peace thing and we've gone into something.

That.

Much more.

Edgy

and frightening

so i think they they turn rock'n'roll into something.

Really quite dark

and primal

and

leering and sexy and sinister

and it turned into this glorious run a record and in in the late sixties

you have this incredible run of songs

and

were gimme shelter

which is really sort of sums up this a Parker elliptic

end of the sixties

vibe.

Sympathy for the devil you know which he gets to be.

He gets to be Lucifer it's inspired by

the cubs novel the master Marjorie cheetahs was quiet kind of

high brow illusion boots created this wonderful kind of like

feverish

evil somber feel

which again sounded like

it.

If

you can't always get with want which was

almost as great sort of epitaph for the sixties

and street fighting man which

is extensively a protest song.

Inspired by.

Make attending

and he was.

Is.

It's about.

Him not being a practicing it's guy what can i do the know

but sing in a rock'n'roll band

and they didn't need to to be sort of

particularly convincing

politically

their very existence seem md.

You know

rebellious and significant

and.

Unfortunately just before the release of beggars banquet.

Brian Jones was arrested again for drug possession.

Because of this

is involvement in the band

and beggars banquet

was almost nonexistent.

His focus became primarily on drugs.

Brian Jones was a really important part of the stones for a long time he really knew

about blues you would be understood about blues he brought something.

Very unique important into the stones

and bought

as we all know he really started to unravel tension

between Brian and the band rapidly increased

his court hearing denied him permission to go abroad for the rolling stones us to

and by nineteen sixty nine

Mick and Keith decided he was a liability

it was time for him to go.

Brian drug abuse was so appalling

he was incapable plane

and he wasn't really fine he was just

told

goodbye

he was

it was it just happened

that he was no longer.

Available as a

at a competent human being to turn up to record or to play

is very important to as the fact that we're going to

go back on the road to beyond a new record the the.

Resolve their seeing with Brian so making a to go down

to

Brian virtually i

a coke you're fired.

A month later

the devastating news hit the band

and the fence.

Brian Jones had died in his own swimming pool.

Charlie from.

Silent about

in the morning and.

Just like gods stay about about an hour

trying to find me up on them.

You

a prime time.

Fans and bandmates gathered to watch as Brian Jones was laid to rest

the twenty seven year old rock stars Korea

had come to an end.

Nobody is really that surprised.

There are people in i'm sure that everybody's

Peterson people everybody knows people that.

You just have that feeling that they're not going to be

going to be seventy years old.

Not everybody makes it.

Later that year

the band through together a remembrance gig at Hyde park to bring everyone together

to remember Brian.

The one we made

the many change your boss.

Heavens light

forever shy.

Shadows fly.

Live

like a do with many colored glass

Spain the white radiant spend eternity and so that.

Shampoo fit to fragments.

Unfortunately problems didn't stop there for the stones

late into their us tour

that was to promote their new album let it bleed

they were to experience one of the darkest days in rock'n'roll history

the free concert

at ultimate.

The noisy sixty nine tour of america is

is already quite big toy

they play

Madison square gardens

and

and it culminates in

this

free concert that they gave.

Near San Francisco December sixteen one

they felt like they should do something like moonstone so.

This really

hastily put together and brother ill advised ill conceived.

Event takes place at the ultimate speedway the

hell's angels are drafted in as the securities

sir service

and.

A just from the get-go.

Turns very nasty

be

up

participate in of the the

an airplane i mean this is one of the artists you

know and they're meant to be the security guys

you know anyone who gets anywhere near this

pathetic little all stage it's about five feet off the ground.

Is based bait now and right in front of a jacket

this guy's this

is

murdered his knife to death

and.

Jacket doesn't realize that's happening in in

the there are nafta they have lost control and

he's out of his depth he doesn't know what

do

it was a very scary mommy is a real reality check for them

i think the stones were when in a more hedonistic direction

and a slightly less political direction if it's almost like

okay we're not going to were not spokesman for our generation anymore

and

i am organised sort of

yeah we're going to go in just a more kind of funky hedonistic

sort of aristocratic jet said

you know stones in exile kind of parting in in

in the south of France

sort of direction i think which doesn't mean the music is

it's just less.

It is not channeling

the darker elements of the zeit going

and know thanks or something changes in the stones mindset at that point

after the terrible events of nineteen sixty nine

the band was to change their sound again

Mick Taylor was to replace Brian Jones

and help them break away from the politics

in dark dame lyrics they were expressing in beggars banquet

and let it bleed

and bring in a much more funky

upbeat sound to them

now where Brian

went and Brian was already

effectively replaced by

Mick tighter.

That

was it a really important change to the sound and style of the study as well

make Taylor brought in real virtuosity a really different kind of guitar style and

tone to case and it was just a brilliant

kind of contrast and counterpoint that i think was really important

mc Taylor's in development with the band help them to write music and lyrics that

were to get away from the political statements

and focus more on relatable

less antagonizing themes

it's easy to forget what a great lyricist jacket was you know a brilliant.

Words he wrote

in in the stones hey day i mean

he can still write lyrics but

he was really

paying attention you know.

In not

great period

know so

you read

the lyrics to sort of

wild horses you know is

very different thing i kind of song of

pine and bright copper address to

tomorrow faithful.

I mean the that pretty great lyrics you know they really oh and you felt like he

he was he would care about the croft the song so you put

you put those two guys together

they just right

my dozens of the gorgeous songs ever are saying he never really really

do.

They were really ornate

they were rarely on that game

the the stones are often known for this kind of you know the swaggering rock and

rollers you know tumbling dies and start

out

and then the

the kind of dark menacing staff painted black gimme shelter

but the quite underrated

as writers of of love songs

be surprisingly tender

that sounds like the wild horses and moonlight mile and Angie

and they really.

They could they could convey great sensitivity as well

after let it bleed in nineteen sixty nine

the band left deca

and started their own label

rolling stones records.

The rolling stones released their most landmark albums during this time

such as sticky fingers

and exile on main street.

Sticky fingers was so loved by fans that in nineteen eighty six basis bill Wyman even

opened a restaurant under that name

filled with band memorabilia.

As they get fingers came from stones our mother was right nine per restaurant.

What i didn't think they relate

that a

rather a few names beggars banquet

at this point in their career

the rolling stones had become a world known

they had given a new image to the world of rock and pop music

and redefined what a rockstar look like

they had gone from being the rebellious kids of the sixties

to international rock icons.

Mega least press conferences you're saying that

a call on a player kind of philosopher king role

and

possible to do

how do you feel about being placed in that position of.

Major in philosophy my withdraw from it totally into banality be continued

you central to the whole idea of rock'n'roll and pop music is this idea that you

you create yourself you create your own mythology and the stones always very

attuned to that you know they were mostly kind

middle class suburban

small town

kids

that were really into blue's

had sort of saying this of transatlantic accent there was a kind of.

Weirdly there was obscene as authentic but

of course they weren't they were

in creating characters themselves why one of the best songs is

jumping Jack flash cause insomnia was like i was born in a crossfire hurricane

it's amazing and it's

know and of course he wasn't he was

born in dartford so the whole kind of message was

really i think about out

the sense of reinventing yourself and

a very potent time in British culture

i firmly believe that today the Andrew has not given the true recognition for what he

does the most people in the industry today

his imagery

of Mick Jagger

and then

the devil and Keith Richards.

Said.

Up rock'n'roll

to get it onto the front page of the newspapers

it became television news it became newspaper years

and it set a standard people have tried to copy

and follow.

Many have followed.

I don't think

be really surpassed what we've achieved

in that sixty four

to sixty five period

it was number one after number one

get off my client satisfaction nitrates nervous breakdown.

Is a classic rock'n'roll rock and roll

records

they just become a magnet for.

The cool people

and

the most beautiful women and everybody's body one

wants to be around

the

is

the earlier of what they stand for that just you know there isn't anything could of

cage Richardson.

Sixty nine

seventy seventy one

he just define cool.

Because he wasn't

he wasn't trying to be called he just sort of.

The Keith Richards wardrobe is just slinging to get the

like are dressing up box it's like just

you know.

Jackie of put this

rap a skill opera

my neck keynote

of

all the southern girls girls

and it just feels so natural that give that's why he's a real star-like

and i wanted to presented i'm not totally.

This is a rock'n'roll maniac

i mean

when i go mad i do it on purpose.

You know some of

the mixed choices are a big kind of weird.

Hipaa

it was still cool to

Mick Jagger was a

a p teachers son from Kent.

Sort of tall

gangly by fits

with this kind of huge oversized mouth like odd-looking and he became

that he sort of made that like oh this is what a rockstar looks like

this is how

you move he had this client is.

The structure

we had like

a predatory sexual quality

a sort of flamboyance that was.

Slightly you know it wasn't straight

edge sexuality you know there was a consult of complexity there

and that became like the model of of how one should be an even.

Even now you know even in his seventies this

is a very peculiar of extra fluid about the way he moves and that's

something that he's preserved throughout his life.

Think that the thing with Mick Jagger is this

appetite

he has this incredible appetite to be

to be a star to be around and that

it could be in terms of

you know

glamorous girlfriends it could be turning up at you know studio

whoa that could be

collaborating with lots of different people that could be

having political phases he's does the things

that are kind of rock star is is meant to do i really like the silhouettes

you know like the i like the

i

could really good look for women

and

the you know she's

always

wanted to have all these fingers and different pies he's

always wanted to be more than just the singer in the band

or i do try and do other things

rolling stones at one time it was there anything in your life

you know but as you get older there are

things that

come along that take your tongue

and so you know now i think it's unafraid level kill so they can

be enthusiastic about it but it's not the only thing in the law

you think that's a normal

Keith on the other hand.

Is

basically the guitarist in the rolling stones you know he was the one that always

resisted you know when they interested in mc was interested in

synthesizers or disco our reggae Keith was lightning no not really

basic.

As this great sort of

you know this tension between that mc Iris

think does the things that were meant to admire

in

in stars

are

being very

kind of daring and taking risks and triangle these different things

and key

represents what we're meant to

sort of disdain which is being

quite concern additive and quite stuck in his ways and resistant to change and yet

people love case.

Because he sort of never changes because he's is weird

sort of grizzled pirate character

maybe it's just because i'm just me

or.

There's no

artificial

crap about.

I just tell it like it is

and i think people are quite suspicious of make

you know that there's something

that seems quite sort of opportunistic about him

and I've I've always felt that that perhaps that was slightly unfair because it was

it was often the person

that was pushing the stones

to try different things that sort of stopped them

from a

actually becoming

you know relics that kind of kept them moving through the eighties that kept them

you know adapting and surviving

whereas if it was up to Keith i get the feeling that they would have

basically be frozen in time and around sort of

in nineteen seventy two

you felt by the case was was the real so the engine room at the stars real creative

sort of force in this kind of slightly

dark foil to jacket

with

that

Keith Richards is

is really underestimated as i as a

as a writer as a composer of music and i

thought i was fascinated by jacket i still think

he was the greatest front man

that ever was when he was wearing those

slightly lv see sort of rolling stone one piece

but bodysuit things he was just magnificent if you have make but no key.

You have.

A band that would be very ambitious but perhaps.

Pretentious somewhat pretentious and a little route

and if you have

Keith but no make

you just probably have a really solidly enjoyable

blues rock and

and it's the fact that they're and the reason why they often don't get on

is that they won't quite different things

that.

Know very different personality these

they've got very different artistic visions

and yet they agree on this they find this one thing that they agree on

and it's the push and pull

that make them such a powerful banned.

In nineteen seventy four

Mick Taylor

unfortunately decided to leave the band to

begin his solo career the x birds guitarist

Ronnie would

later replaced him

in the nineteen eighties

the band became extremely hated.

Their ideas conflicted as both Mick Jagger and

Keith Richards couldn't see eye to eye anymore.

Make wanted to focus on his solo career

leaving Keith is the main writer in the studio.

Their music heavily suffered throughout this decade

but for a good number of years you know making case of

this amazing

take amazing kind a cup of water married couple of creativity

but i think you know this stop

to

to

pull apart

your cake

just sinks

deeper and deeper into the color quagmire of addiction

make

it more interested in sort of expanding his arise adults when he's more interested in

the beautiful people marched in the Andy warhol set

and i think they start to pull apart creatively

their know

the best of friends

in

a

has grown tired of trying to manage case.

Cake has become quite

school full

of mixed pretensions and as and graces and by the mid eighties you know.

Keep books back and described as world war three they're really separate camps that's

the way things are guys that work together for

fifty years almost without having the odd

the.

Contra to relationships over long periods like like go very up and down the

assumptions that concerns and nobody good

i mean they're Einstein's we have lots of

you know in

the any internal kind of group of people

always had

varying relationships with each other's of the dynamic changes

but you know i mean we have so common goals and so we try and.

Get over the ups and downs and trying to

keep on the common goal

and this is so common in.

Really successful wrote plans i mean happened with Lennon and McCartney.

It happened with Jimmy page and robot plants in led zeppelin

it happens time and time again when you've got to

Alpha male is particularly.

Who's the boss

know who is the balls

and they both thought

the boss

the rolling stones remarkably stay together throughout this he did decade

the fame was so monumental

fans around the world wanted to see them

their branding was so recognizable

that they were able to sell out tours around the world

instantly

allowing them to become one of the biggest touring bands

of that time

eat by the eighties.

The rolling stones live the roses

rowing says touring had become this

massive

business

and

you know they are extremely wealthy as a result

they rarely he became a the band as corporation.

In Mick Jagger's mouth

became

the logo of the band

they made so many

very canny

business decisions

while at the same time.

Seeming presenting this image of being these kind of

like deca in slightly out of control you know the epitome of of

of rock

debauchery

and yet behind the scenes they were so

smart and they were laying the foundations for

their survival

and so i i think of rolling stones is the

epitome of the band that is also a business.

Hundred and fifty that

you could say well the thing got just

sort of way out of proportion the scale of these

live shows you know these massive stadiums applying.

Maybe the solo the rolling stones call it took a

took a backseat you know you

you got along those shows and that just these

dots on the stage and

blown not massively on screens and

you know what is

it that come so far from the blues rates

in are playing around Richmond and a lot of those

artists from the era have a kind of status that the

relies on what you might call baby boom in the stout

the older people go

to see the stones concert and a late for the

house

because quite frankly.

Sir Andrew produce.

Database reputable time.

And sustaining

starting to come to the.

Statement that everybody's copied and.

I think

started

just been able to to some degree just

rely on

that that's never going to change the don't have to do very much to get

millions of people coming out to see.

The rolling stones tours can 't renewed into the nineties

but unfortunately

lost them bill woman

who

like Mick Taylor

wanted to follow his solo career.

During this decade the band set aside their differences

went back to releasing albums

as well as continuing to to around the.

In two thousand and twelve

the rolling stones hit a landmark of fifty years in the music industry

and incredible achievement

that only few

have achieved

definitely rocky yes

and

yeah good

fifty years season opener a long time but

to to

break

that.

Does go fast.

Gossip of also

enjoy it

seems that we did enjoy it.

I've been on

he pianist the same questions we.

Say know what's the other one.

Did you think when you started out you're

going to do this and fifty years of cosby date

though

guy

sit next to Charlie

the next fifty years

token him

about that beats.

If you'd asked that question a bit later over the

sauce it

but i was correct answer at the time because no one had ever really lasted

them so why would you lost

his bit presumptuous to think that

allows to

any more than anybody else why it why should do.

It wasn't a kind of

long term industry in those days.

This was then followed by the band's one exhibition in two thousand and fifteen.

A chance to allow fans to see their history

untold stories

and allow them to experience life in the stone shoes throughout their rocking years

we've been thinking about it actually

quite long time.

Collecting things thinking about all this big of rebels save this

because we want people to see it you know and we want people to see this

people see that

yes i many is it kind of look at your career and

i think it's kind of an interesting

time to do it

we've got enough stuff that too much stuff

getting a bit emotional walking around the.

If

you think you know that or the but.

Especially the old

the old flat.

Yeah i look to the method upgraded a crusher help.

The

it but there all things that we ever say

thing.

The most poignant money their.

Education and Brian contract is signed on I'll be hard

i remember doing actually

not sign the and it was going to do it.

Because we weren't allowed to go up

the

of this.

And also and finding.

Some of my favorite

clothes that i

realize.

That they have found and

Danny

and that's where i left those boots.

I've been looking them the years the known

as you walked through this

exhibition you can see it goes through all these different eras and

all these different things have happened

around

the rock bands to speak so it becomes part of more than just being a rock band

back another interim

endless adventure that we're on

a

good thing that we still working

isn't going on in the background good.

One of the reasons to stones sometimes seemed like the

archetype of rock band is this almost like i'm about

a movie like

perfection to some of the things that happened to them

you know that the redlands drug bust when they almost

went to prison

the death of Brian Jones these are the these huge kind of.

Sort of symbols of.

Of rock stardom tipping over into something darker

you know this symbol of sort of like

of rock'n'roll decadence

was in fact i mean and

Keith Richards.

Consumption was was astonishing and lasted for very long time

but Mick Jagger is you know pe teacher son he's a very

healthy guy

and so

he was no what

this and

he was always sort of enormous drug hoover at all

it was almost like the the symbolism

of it

is the

the various things that happened to them

the records they made they also have conveyed this message

that this is kind of these are these rocking out

outlaws you know

living on the edge

and

yeah of course at the same time you know keeping a very

close eye on a on business affairs and merchandising

i i think the stones will keep going until they drop

i have no doubts of the until until they can no longer stand up

i called

imagine they will actually play

with zimmer frames

but i wouldn't put put it http past make

and

so you know they've got a little

while left i think

there is some retrospectively very funny quotes from Mick Jagger

and

around ninety sixty nine where he's just like guy i guy saying oh i can't imagine

doing this when i'm thirty wouldn't this be ridiculous

and quite a lot the time they just go you can't be the rolling stones and like old

and bio they basically meant over thirty

but no one could see beyond thirty at that point

so now it said

he could be taking his with your eighty mic.

Of you still got the rebellion cause they were

those brilliant headlines isn't that look at

is the stones

a ain't

your

is now the same.

That.

You

got keeps the grandkids that was written about yeah when

i was

did the show in

the southern united states and

though as opposed to

outside this college this

and it said.

Mick Jagger slept with your grandmother is the jokes are

funny than.

The stones with very good for for quite a long time

or you know they obviously outlasted the Beatles

be great sixties albums then

sticky fingers and exile on main street and seventies is really kind of

totemic record some people's favorites

and

you know they continue to be pretty good

through the seventies and then they dropped off

and then they became sort of like so many people kind of.

Persistence

and there's something quite

powerful

about that

you know even though the younger Mick Jagger would have

sort of laughed at.

Himself still being on stage now then i

carved out of rock that'd be sort of

historic figures

and there's something weirdly moving about that seeing the stones at glastonbury

was like oh they're still here air

and

in the sixties nobody imagined that nobody thought that

anybody would get to be middle aged you let alert old

and still be able to like sell out

big shows and still have anyone care about their records

is rock'n'roll that's all i know and there's hold i'm good at and

i'm a terrible plumber

and

i'm just telling it like it is

as far as

i'm concerned

and the stones are really sort of the pioneers of.

Of as.

Tenacity

of growing old and yet somehow.

They became so a frozen in time if you see Mick

and Keith now this

that

they haven't resort settled down there versions of their younger selves

so they become iconic in a way that i don't think they could have

predicted when they were younger.

Fame is something that you have to learn to live with

the.

Because it comes along when you don't really think about that when you're doing Asia

i want to make a record i know i want to make sure good records and

you do and

suddenly.

This thing would fain

comes in.

And then you have to learn

a whole new game

in

to deal with that.

Any any band that sort of combines rock'n'roll with and blues

draws on

the stove cause you know and i'm thinking about every band from

you know

aerosmith

to guns and roses if they all have to say well

you know

they they've all got it Gulf that cops to the wrote to the rolling stones because

the stones

to

invent seat

of that

style and that template

they will always

be influential i think i don't think the study insurance will ever.

Know

fade out of rock'n'roll because because they absolutely embodied in encapsulated

i say god bless the rolling stones.

Nice.

Rockman

genre i went to the concert recently after twelve to a captcha new York and

there were better than ever so.

Yeah

why are we safe

distance can keep going if i can keep saying

make up then it's okay for us to do it you know

why should there be.

An expiration date

time

rock and roll i need.

As long as you're having fun playing the music and it

feels good we should.

We.

To this day the band is still touring internationally

attracting fans from all over the world

and from

all generations.

In two thousand and sixteen the rolling stones released their latest studio album

blue and lonesome

almost paying tribute to their legacy going back to their old roots of the blues

it feels like every

gone full circle i mean

you could say well

i guess they couldn't think of anything else to do but

but why not go back to the beginning

it's a fun thing to do for them it pops it's

it's

called a grounding them in.

The reality that they came out of when they were just.

Yet a bunch of

pile spotty

boys

who wanted to be

muddy woot

see know

we listen to them that much like

and the guy

who is that

are

recorded.

In Chicago on the fifties or Sunday

and

it's us it's so it's very excited as well defined is all about yeah blueprint

about us

is no it's

just to sort of

here their

their love of that music.

Just to go back to the

to the sort of source you know the the oracle.

The that inspired them in the first place

the rolling stones will never cease to be around

the rich history and landmark albums will always take place in people's lives

and continue to influence future generations to come.

The rolling stones or the

essence of rock royalty

and will forever be remembered but how they change the world

and music

forever.

And.
