Once upon a time....Ok wait....They still exist...Long time ago in 1962, in London some of guys decided to make a band and called it Rolling Stones. They performed first show in the Marquee Club in London on July 12, 1962. Original lineup was (if you didn't know):
- Mick Jagger
- Keith Richards
- Brian Jones
- Ian Stewart
You probably asking yourself where is Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman. They joined band somewhere in January 1963 as band members. Ian Stewart was short time member (till May 1962) then he decided to leave original lineup and became more strategic partner in the band. His role become as road manager.

It's hard to overestimate the importance of Rolling Stones in rock and roll history. Their music and had a significant impact on the many music created after them. Only a handful of musicians (in any genre) have achieved such a thing, and the Rolling Stones are proud of them.

They start evolving to something new and audience feel it right away. Each album they recorded during the early 1970s - from "The Rollling Stones" in 1964 to "Exile on Main Street" in 1972 - is crucial not only for understanding the music of that time, but also of the time itself. Because of its intense interest in blues and R & B, Stones have introduced the young American audience to music that was unknown to most white Americans. Although Stones did not have strong political views in their early years, their obsession with black American music - from Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Howlin 'Wolf to Chuck Berry, Marvin Gaye and Don Covay - hit the wire that echoed the motifs of the movement for human rights. Even if Stones did not record any albums after 1965, they would still be legendary.

Soon Stones - singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richard and Brian Jones, bass player Billa Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts - began to be seen as a symbol of the rebellious mood of that time. Songs such as "I Can not Get No Satisfaction", "Street Fighting Man", "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Gimme Shelter" reflected the violence, frustration and chaos of time. For Stones, the 60s were not the time of peace and love; in many ways they considered that psychedelia and naive utopia were confusing and ridiculous. Stones have always been, and still are, a strong pragmatic. Despite the endless promises of the 1960s, they always thought that "You Can not Always Get What You Want" (You can not always get what you want). Want to "Let It Be"? Why would not it be "Let It Bleed"?

For these reasons, as the sixties were over in the 1970s, the Stones began their creative career and became the competition for everyone in popular music. Albums "Beggars Banquet" (1968), "Let It Bleed" (1969), Sticky Fingers (1971) and "Exile on Main Street" (1972) routinely featured on the best albums of all time it is completely deserved. All this was done under the knife of US producer Jimmy Miller - according to Richards' stomach, the "incredibly rhythmic man" - and these albums shook the same as the culture of the time. During the work on album "Let It Bleed" died Brian Jones. They replaced him with Mick Taylor, a guitarist whose poetics and melodic lustness were counterbalanced by Richards' persistent and unmoving rhythm, adding a new element to their sound and opening the door to new music directions.

After that, the Stones were an invincible force on the music scene, and they continue to be still today. In 1978, the album "Some Girls" turned out to be the "When the Whip Comes Down" whose Stones' energy and attitude was defined decades ago, but was also fascinated with complex Miss Mom ("Miss You"). This album is one of the best of that decade. Meanwhile, Mickey Taylor was replaced by guitarist Ron Wood in 1975 and added another key element to Rolling Stones that will last for the next three decades, and is still going on.
"Tattoo You" (1981) added to the repertoire of Rolling Stones Classics "Start Me Up" and "Waiting on a Friend" and took a prominent place among their most popular and most popular later albums. On their most unpopular album, Dirty Work, Stones are in their most opaque phase and the most burdened rhythm, which was the result of disagreement among members of the band during the recording of the album. Stones' true fans have long considered it to be appreciated by this album as a matter of honor.

After the album "Steel Wheels" was released in 1989, they started their first tour after seven years and started the last stage of their famous career. During this period they recorded strong and credible albums - "Voodoo Lounge" (1994) and "Bridges to Babylon" (1997) - with an excellent live album "Stripped" from 1995 and a fun and satisfying hit collection "Forty Licks" 2002 . years.

More importantly, Rolling Stones set standards for live performances during that time. This achievement is fully in line with the history of the band. When they were just starting to play, in 1969, on the tour of "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World", that name justified their live performances. At that time it was almost modern not to go to the tour - they did both Bob Dylan and the Beatles. But Stones have decided to prove that fantastic songs and strong boards are not enough if you are too stiff to jump in front of your fans and play them so hard to bite them. Their performances, for which the concept was Jagger's fierce, erotic choreography, had a reputation for them even in the early years, and that flame came again.
