The Rolling Stones are a British
rock and roll band who rose to prominence
during the mid-1960s. The Rolling Stones
were original in weaving together various
strands of American composition into a new
form of popular music. Early in their career
they played covers of blues, rhythm and
blues, country, and rock and roll music.
Their first recordings were covers of Chuck
Berry, Robert Johnson, Screamin' Jay Hawkins,
Waters, and Hank Williams songs, among others.
Although founding members Mick Jagger and
Keith Richards are regarded as one of the
greatest songwriting teams in the history
of popular music, the band never stopped
being inspired by other genres. Reggae,
Punk, and Dance have leaked into their recordings.
Guitarist (and original frontman)
Brian Jones, although popular and charismatic,
was forced out of the band in 1969 and died
an enigmatic death later that year, presumed
accidental at the time, although accusations
have surfaced that he was murdered. Jagger
and Richards took over songwriting and performance
leadership. Jones had favored sticking close
to the blues base, although he had also
experimented with the sitar, but Jagger
and Richards broadened their approach.

Early history: 1961-1967
The band came into being in 1961 when former school friends
Jagger and Richards met Jones, who named the band after a
Muddy Waters song; at least two other bands (and one circus
tumbling act) are believed to have called themselves The Rolling
Stones before the Jagger/Richards/Jones band was formed. The
original lineup included Jagger (vocals), Jones (guitar),
Richards (guitar), Ian Stewart (piano), Charlie Watts (drums)
and Dick Taylor (bass). Taylor left shortly after to form
The Pretty Things, and was replaced by Bill Wyman. By the
time of their first album release Stewart was, at their manager's
insistence, "officially" not part of the band, though
he continued to record and perform with them. United by their
shared interest in rhythm and blues music, the group rehearsed
extensively, playing in public only occasionally at Crawdaddy
Club in London, where Alexis Korner's blues band was resident.
At first, Jones, a guitarist who also toyed with numerous
other instruments, was their creative leader. The band rapidly
gained a reputation in London for their frantic, highly energetic
covers of the rhythm and blues songs of their idols and, through
manager Andrew Loog Oldham, were signed to Decca Records (who
had passed when offered The Beatles). At this time their music
was fairly primitive: Richards had learned much of his guitar
playing from the recordings of Chuck Berry, and had not yet
developed a style of his own, and Jagger was not as in control
of the idioms as he would soon become. By this time, however,
the rhythmic interplay between Watts and Richards was clearly
the heart of their music.
Mixed emotions: The Rolling Stones 1981-1999
Throughout the early 1980s the Jagger/Richards partnership
continued to falter, and their records would suffer because
of it. 1983's Undercover was widely seen as Jagger's attempt
to make the Rolling Stones' sound more compatible with current
musical trends. The album's slick production and violent
political and sexual content were coolly received by both
critics and fans. To make matters worse, Ron Wood was now
suffering from his own growing drug habit. In 1982 Jagger
had signed a major solo deal with the band's new label,
CBS Records. This move angered Richards, who saw it as a
lack of commitment to the band. Indeed, Jagger was spending
a great deal of time on his solo recordings, and most of
the material on 1986's Dirty Work was authored solely by
Keith Richards (indeed, many would put later speculate that,
after years of making decisions in drug-addled Richards'
place, Jagger resented Richards reasserting creative control.
A speculation that originated with Richards himself). The
album again sold poorly, and sales were probably hurt by
Jagger's decision not to tour in support of the album.
To add to the band's woes in 1986, longtime collaborator
and unofficial band member Ian Stewart died of a heart attack.
The Rolling Stones' only live appearance during this time
was a tribute to Stewart. However, a bright spot that year
was when they were awarded a Grammy for lifetime achievement.
But by this point Jagger and Richards had begun openly criticizing
each other in the press, and many observers assumed the
band had broken up. Sales of Jagger's solo records (She's
the Boss (1985) and Primitive Cool (1987)) did not live
up to expectations. Ironically, Richards' first solo record,
Talk is Cheap (1988), which he had been reluctant to make
because of his loyalty to The Stones, was well received
by both fans and critics, prompting Jagger to shelve his
own solo career and reform the group for 1989's Steel Wheels
album and tour, widely heralded as a return to form. 1989
also saw Stones inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame.
In 1991 Bill Wyman left the band and had published Stone
Alone, a frank autobiography. (He would go on to write a
coffee table tome entitled "Rolling with the Stones"
in 2002) After his departure, the band continued as a foursome.
Watts was asked to choose a bass player, and he selected
the respected session musician and Miles Davis sideman Darryl
Jones, who played bass on Voodoo Lounge (1994) and Bridges
to Babylon (1997) —both highly praised—and toured
in support of both records.
The Stones' song "Start Me Up" was used by Microsoft
to launch their Windows 95 operating system. Some critics
noted that the group who epitomise the way that rock and
roll commercialised earlier rhythm and blues by delivering
it to a global audience provided the soundtrack for the
corporation who did the same with software. (Critics of
Windows also noted the song's lyric "You make a grown
man cry.") The Rolling Stones had previously never
licensed their music for commercial use. According to legend,
Microsoft founder Bill Gates asked Jagger how much the rights
to the song would cost; rather than refuse outright, Jagger
replied with $13 million — a sum that he thought would
be self-evidently outrageously high. Gates, however, immediately
agreed to the amount.
Don't stop: The Rolling Stones 2000-date
In 2002, Q magazine named The Rolling Stones as one of
the "50 Bands To See Before You Die". On July
30, 2003, the band headlined the Molson Canadian Rocks for
Toronto concert in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to help the
city recover financially and psychologically from the effects
of the 2003 SARS epidemic. It was attended by an estimated
450,000 people, the largest concert in Canadian history.
On November 9, 2003, the band played its first ever concert
in Hong Kong as part of the Harbour Fest celebration. In
November of 2003 the band exclusively licensed the right
to sell their new 4-DVD boxed set, Four Flicks, recorded
on their most recent world tour, to the U.S Best Buy chain
of stores. In response, other music retail chains (including
Tower Records, Virgin Megastore and HMV) pulled all Rolling
Stones CDs and related merchandise from their shelves and
replaced them with signs explaining the situation.
The Stones completed sessions with Don Was as producer
for a new studio album in Paris in December 2004, with Jagger
and Richards writing and recording new songs. Was stated
the Stones would reconvene after the Christmas holidays
and that the tracks recorded so far were significantly different
to anything he has worked on with The Stones before. Charlie
Watts also attended the Paris sessions and was reported
to be in excellent health after being treated for throat
cancer. The album is The Stones' first full studio album
since 1997's Bridges to Babylon, with a tentative release
date in Summer 2005, as reported on Billboard (http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000735012)
(external link). On May 10 2005 the Stones announced plans
for another world tour starting on August 21st at Fenway
Park in Boston. The tour is expected to include dates throughout
the USA and Canada before going to South America, Asia and
Europe. Launching the tour at the Julliard School of Music
in New York, Mick Jagger told reporters that it would not
necessarily be their last and declared that work on a new
album was "85 percent" complete.
