dot com ah ah, sex drugs and rock and roll have made the rolling stones iconic. in 2022, they celebrated their 60th anniversary fans of all generations flocked to their anniversary concerts. so what's their secret? how come they're still relevant? when you go to the stones concert, it's not just, you know, people of the stones generation who are there it, you know, kids, teenagers, you know, parents, you know, it's really, really broad. the kind of people that come to that concert on the daggers more than his age, reagan. oh, please do divine and i want to go to the after show party. i did the 3 of them still together at that age. i wish i was still that virtuoso for

to many they're simply the greatest rock band of all time. but here's what german t v had to say. money i'm a few, sharon got charm, very good musicians, the business stones with us and a dose of what can only be described as well. now you've perversity of up have alley t let. so post labor subsides, you know what we buy? good for the sake of the youth and the union. 60 years on and the fever has definitely not subsided. so why are the rolling stones, the greatest rock band in history? they are musical innovators. they cultivate a rebellious image. they have a huge cultural influence. they inspire other bands, their concerts are spectacular,

and they're still going strong despite the odds. so let's di lynn to the stones cosmos. ah, the stones began in tiny venues paying tribute to their musical heroes. it took some time to become the global superstars. they are to day capable of filling the world's biggest stadiums like him unit. the olympia started on was one stop on those 60th anniversary tour. we met up with he is a journalist and stones expert asked whole father william nonsense as a really young age. about 1617 but the rolling stones were huge, blues fans ah cup and long unsung. there was a small but very impressive blue scene in london in the early 1960, as nowadays we would probably call it an underground san jose songs and decline. there were a couple of dozen guys came to make this kind of music,

gobs and pod among them were members of what would become the rolling stones young's garden. and they got together to form a band and very quickly turned out to be one of the best fellows under the best thing that was at 1st, the stones covered their favorite blue songs, john lee hooker, muddy waters. powell wolf, big build, rosie and chuck berry were blue's pioneers, who influenced the up and coming band. mick jagger once said that the 1st album he ever bought was muddy waters at newport. the stones name came from the blue song, rollin stone by muddy waters. the kind of blues he rocked the stone still play today is more modern than ever says martin cheating director of the london music school. the rolling stones repertoire is an essential part of the song writing curriculum. heating used to work at jack, our records, his stones 1st record label in the u. k. as it only shows were based purely on blues. and why we called country rock that hasn't dated. you can still hear things

from the twenty's in the thirty's. that is very hard to put a date on, and i think the rolling stones music will last longer for that simple. he hasn't actually got a date on it. it's just a band playing sort of blue rock like the stones did. he just cover their blues idols. they created their own unique style. there's no harm the store very quickly, the stones realised they also had a certain affinity for him, let's say on the hawk themes. and they started to write their own songs in this i listed cli, these went beyond the blues. john rob 11th, who was somebody who knows, they wrote songs like the last time or satisfaction or the last time a satisfaction materially like they started to create their own identity. and because, ah, with

each new record, the rolling stones tried something new, mixing up musical styles and setting new standards. brian jones and keith richards quickly master the standard rifts and techniques that get taurus needed for rhythm and blues, early soul, and rock and roll. oh, there, dynamic tore up the rule book on the usual distinction between rhythm guitar and lead guitar. he always, you know, he started with brian jones and that he taught and was always in changing this kind of sense that, that brian, can i different instrument ah, this is kind of, you know,

it was not too rigid. there was this kind of brilliant given taken in the music and when he teams up with ronnie words, you see that again, they call it the ancient weaving. you know, this ability for both of them to play rhythm and li. the combination of drummer charlie watts is incredible precision and simplicity with bass, guitarist bill women's talent for rhythm. and the addition of mick jagger's unique voice and stage presence help establish the stones reputation as one of britain's most exciting bands. ah, one come up as soon as brian jones thought dr. jones was actually the 1st young guitarist in england to play slide guitar. this was a major stylistic characteristic of the band in the early years in the event in. so if you look at recordings like little red rooster, it's

a very defining element in that with if you see my little red with there from main true to the blues. in 2016, they recorded a love letter to the genre, blue and lonesome. they also had an attitude that earned them a bad boy image and landed them in court. nothing. oh, that's the verdict when a 3 months probation for violating an iconic lock is that jagger called himself

a rebel against society. because and said you would continue to take drugs, how's gifts and amen? i reduce the stones up to ro stand for sex, drugs and rock and roll. and those are actually the things they always sang about him of his own law. sounds like i can't get no satisfaction capture that site guys . the stones grew up in the austere post war era. the 1960s were a time of social upheaval. young people began to rebel against the conservative norms of society. the stone seemed different from established, dies more wild and adventurous, and came to embody the spirit of the times distorted in kinda these are the signs of children of their time. so they attitude was very rebellious that they wanted to do things their own way and not let anyone tell them how to live their lives. of course, that was an expression of a whole generations attitude back then with and a lot of what they did can only be understood against that backdrop unit. what's a good bottom? come on of north disney,

that winters did the war in vietnam brought out their political side, never before and rarely afterwards did the band enter the public debate as much as with street fighting men. a saw against war, poor civil disobedience. the song became the soundtrack to violent clashes between demonstrators and police with key. but the rebel image was also partly a p r strategy. and ga, goes in a manager, saw an opportunity in a mark, you know, in a world a gone people's mat. to set the stains a slightly different, you know, to be, ah, you know, not the king cut suit wearing. you know, boys next door singing about wanting to hold your hands. he saw an opportunity that

them as the kind of rebellious count puts the pieces that definitely was parked and marketing. oh, another rolling stones, classic painted black, also broke with the conventions of the time. the stones still play it at concerts today. and it says popular as ever, among many young music influencers, who cover it, including the artist, gum us down. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, rebellion is time. yes. it is. and you can think about some of those songs in life, the world we live in, stay and see that that still relevant in the stones didn't restrict themselves to

political and social criticism. they were outspoken about almost every topic. mick jagger once called queen elizabeth the 2nd chief witch and proclaimed anarchy is the only little glimmer of hope he was. nevertheless, nighted in 2003, at the ceremony at buckingham palace, jagger proclaimed, ironically, i don't really think the stablish been as we knew it was ever exists anymore. by the time the queen died in 2022, he'd softened his position. jagger posted his condolences on social media, the stones often showed their provocative side in photo sessions for album covers the record sold better that way, they were an antidote to the more clean cut beetles bonded audio police are for the rolling stones just love to provoke the band logo sums up the attitude, the must have accessory for fans has made the tongue a cultural icon,

and that's the next reason the stones are legendary. british designer john pash created the logo. he worked for the stones from 1970 to 74. the original idea was from young kids the way that they don't like something, they stick their tongue out. and it's like a very definite kind of gesture, very symbolic of protests to authority. that kind of. so some that stands for about, and i would say there was a reference to mega jack's mouth, which you can't really miss with was a design student in his mid twenties at the time. and as long as only paid 50 pounds for the logo, it quickly became cult. today, the red, rolling stones tongue is ubiquitous. the merchandising business is booming. sales a fam merchandise reaches several 1000000 euros

a year. you have to understand that mick jagger went to the london school of economics in that he understands the sort of business side life as well as the music side of life. the stones also influenced our child still making the band baby sympathy for the devil in 1968, with french swiss filmmakers jona coda. he combined documentary images of the stones rehearsing with allegorical scenes against the background of the black power movement. sat me that you know, interest in undergrad cinema and, and their desire. i work with interesting filmmakers. an interesting ice, you know, has like hugely brilliant pieces of work in the world. the shows that kind of

breadth of interest outside of playing rock and roll that into the time. and i that interested in what people are making that same year jagger also start in the film performance directed by nicholas rogue and donald canal, which contains graphic depictions of violence, sex and drug use with their stage outfits, which changed over the decades. significantly influence the image of rock stars the dandy fide rock more psychedelic outfits, and paid the way for glam rock with their flamboyance. they had such a huge influence on culture and on fashion. definitely, by the way, to keep with where he's close in that kind of late sixty's period. you know, he was wearing like a need to palumbo glasses like they were kind of trophies and like they were

wearing, you know, women's clothes but making them look incredibly like, you know, male and sexy. and, you know, they can't, they, in, you know, even the way that they cut the hey, and i keep was always kind of an haran create an incredible kind of shaggy rock'n'roll cup. you know, that he just did himself backstage every guy wanted to be keith richards. that, you know, that there was huge influence, influential. they all had a very individual sense of style. you know, charlie with his incredible huntsman seats and you know, keep with kind of silky, you know, a leopard print, you know, and they're ronnie, ronnie, always love to have, you know, grant me really get to see that person through that. and that image, hey, everybody wanted to look like them, and musicians wanted to sound like them. the next reason, the greatest it's

not just blues music that they popularized in rock and roll. the stores on august near as well as their attitude. the stones developed a style that's known as slaves wrong, and because on monday, i kind of dirty music which many, many great bands then cultivated afterward. he's a p the field go with the band center on aka fleet tom on the funding with the faces guns and roses rose the black crows, for example, across from bosh blue to white with didn't just inspire other bands. music where they also explored new fee $70.00 for the demo deals with the occult. this later became one of the main topics of heavy metal music with and like black sabbath. really kind of the hat to, to the various ties into it simply for the devil and you know,

the insurance of the stones are found that perhaps the biggest way to still influence other bands was with their ambitious stage shows in the 60s. the stone sold a lot of singles and albums and became one of music's biggest live acts. german td reported fiance stone, and they're massive stage equipment ensures that fans get a full rolling stones experience, those poor pallet rolling stones, and iep has gotten deal. ah, even now the stones are still putting on, epic shows using state of the art technology grown up along with the technology of what it takes to do this and how to make it better now to make big places seal internet. and. and right now, i think we're just reaping the benefits of all of those years. when the sound system was crap and the monitors were non existent. and we had to fight your way

through to make a good sound in the yard. they have always been at the forefront of this business over all these years on disability. they have always been the ones able to set standards on. the thing that began in the seventy's, when they were one of the 1st rock bands, along with led zeppelin, that food stadium soluble and explored questions like, how do we make the sound carrying was, how do we deal with the stage design mohammed, us mit? how do we make the stadium fuel as small as possible so that the people, even if they're sitting a 100 meters away, can still have fun and see what's happening on stage or some of them can most of the glucose here really they, they set the template for what those big monster cartoons are you see today, and i've been quite new to you and you know, cold play or whoever's going out and playing those big monster will turn the stones

really kind of build grammar. they really can have lane. you drive a passion for other eyes to come behind and create a network of like pennies that you could play. and i really like important stuff that influenced the culture. charlie was very instrumental in the kind of stage design as well. he's very either an artist in a graphic designer who's very interested in that side of things. i personally would never ever go to a stadium to see anyone play. i would, i would always go to a club. ah, the fame doesn't necessarily make you invincible. just those on the through, he wasn't the stones of course, have been on stage for over 60 years already somewhat like a long running soap opera. of course, they had to survive. a lot of very difficult situation was in that started with the death of brian jones, the benz founder in 1969 beat con southfield concert for a late rock stern. when nearly 250000 english fans,

he did the rolling stones calling and attended their 1st public appearance in 14 mazda, the man being honored, who that is? brian jones randal ex guitarist who drowned in a swimming pool and bought at home about ryan jones was just 27 years old. but the band kept going. 5 months later on december 6th, 1969. the stones performance at the altamont pre festival was overshadowed by the death of an audience member killed by one of the hells angels who were hired as security. the vulcan phone is, is that we are definitely a very, very educational and very depressing experience for the band as well. and i think they learned from it and like many others in this business, europe, that security has to be a priority at lodge constant like this in order to protect people lot. ah, the gloomy mood of altamont is captured by the song gimme shelter, which reflects the daily violence in the medium. today's music,

jagger and richard had foreseen the murder at altamont for the recording itself was also overshadowed by a tragic event. mary clayton, the female backing singer who put in a powerful performance on the 1969 song had a miscarriage. the day after the recording session, where that music comes from is definitely not just from you know, joy and passion, but also from darkness. and struggle, so many bands fall apart, you know, when faced with huge tragedy. but for the stains, it seemed to, you know, that tension of the difficulties and the things actually, navigation is part of what keeps it interesting. i think another problem for the band was keith richards, heroin and cocaine consumption. his name became synonymous with rock and roll excess. in 1977, he was arrested in toronto for possession of heroine. illegal consequences could have put an end to the rolling stones. he had to make it very tough choice at the

end of the 17th, which when the arrest in canada happened. and it was a very real chance that he was going to go to prison for a very long time. and that would have been the end of him being in the band if i had happened. and so keep had to at that moment make a choice between music and drugs and he chose music. 2 2 0, adding to the tensions the band members didn't always see eye to eye. done ga, ga, ga. know, there's, there was a rough patch in the eighty's when jagger and richards didn't get along at all for a while. come on, mick jagger signed a solar contract with cbs behind the bands back and brought out his 1st solo album . the rest of the band was furious with often

a a scoop this, the future of the stones was at stag zyden and foreign taurus. ronnie would help smooth things over when, when those difficult times happened in the eighty's. money was like this and can't fall apart. you know, like this part of his destiny. he felt it to be in the band and to bring those, those tea back together. he's destiny and he helps with that as well. that relationship had recovered by the ninety's, but there was more misfortune to come. mick jagger's long time, girlfriend lorenz. scott committed suicide in 2014. the death of the stones. drummer charlie was in 2021. was the most recent big glow tale is huge, the huge, the missed and he was a great influence within the bounty. ne,

everybody last, johnny and yeah he, i mean, i think that definitely he will have been studying influence, you know, ah, the european tour marking the band 60th anniversary paid tribute to him. the band dedicated the show to him. um, this feels different to me and we do play attribute to charlie. you see him and you hear him. but for us it's more of a celebration. now you know, some time has gone past. we miss him or say all the time we laugh about him. we talk about him a lot, and this is a, in a way to celebrate his life rather than a to, to mourn it. and that's what the rolling stones at 62 or was all about a celebration of longevity and enduring success for the past 60 years makes moves and keeps riffs, have inspire generations. you know,

maybe that is the secret to how they stayed together. 60 years. is that it's this very specific alchemy of different personality. bringing them together and keep them going again. it was a wonderful confidence at the line for 3 generations of stones fan. oh, a son you at the moon? the, the reason you got the rolling, i mean the, there's been there all the time and they're not going away any time. soon. a new studio album has been announced for this summer and more feature none other than paul mccartney on base. back in the sixty's, the beatles were the arch rivals of the rolling stones. but the band has always

been good for a surprise. ah ah, ah, with a 77 percent close look at cyber bullying. bio sexton relationship expert can including how to avoid one of its worst forms,
