of desperation, courage and new beginnings. some who do you say i am with 60 minutes? d, w. ah, what people have to say matters to us. m. that's why we listened to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. o . 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 sounds constant, it's not just, you know, people of the stones generation who are bad, you know, kids, teenagers, you know, parents, you know, it's really, really cold. the kind of people that come to that concert. well, no daggers moves at his age. craig, oh please do be fine 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 fetch vanessa. to many, they're simply the greatest rock band of all time. but here's what german t v had to say. money him a few solid gun charm. very good musicians, the business done with us and a dose of what can only be described as naive perversity of up have alley t ah,

let's so post labor subside soon as we buy good for the sake of the youth on 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 good valley, is image. they had a huge cultural influence. they inspire other bands, their concerts are spectacular, and they're still going strong despite the odds. so let's dive into 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 their 60th anniversary tour. we met up with he is

a journalist and stones expert asked hoffa williams 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 declined. 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 bill, bruno and chuck berry were blue's high in ears who influenced the up and coming back. mick jagger once said that the album he ever bought was muddy waters at

newport. the stones name came from the blue song, rowland stone by muddy waters. the kind of bluesy rock this stone still play to day is more modern than ever. it 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 decor records, his stones 1st record label in the u. k. this morning. so we're based purely on blues and why we called country rock that hasn't dated? you can still hear things in 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 reason that it hasn't actually got a date on it. it's just a band playing sort of blues rock. but 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 i'm the hock themes and they started to write

their own songs. what did i lose tickly? these went beyond the blues genre, relevant to some between those. they wrote songs like the last time or satisfaction or the last time satisfaction. actually, it's a bite of they started to create their own identity and because ah, with, with each new record, the rolling stones try 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 a rhythm and blues early so and oh,

their dynamic tour of the rule book on the usual distinction between rhythm guitar and lead guitar keep always, you know, be started with brian jones and that it was and was always in changing this kind of sense that, that brian, can i different instrument ah, this is kind of, you know, 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 interest of weaving. you know, the ability for both of them to play with them and leave the combination and 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 counter stablish, the stones reputation as one of britain's most exciting bands.

ah, one of the through this brian jones starting dr. jones was actually the 1st young guitarist in england to places like guitar, thought this was a major stylistic characteristic of the band in the early years in the event in food. 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 dr with

they've remained 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 the narcotics lock is that jagger called himself a rebel against society. because and said he would continue to take rugs, how's gifts and ammon as it is the stones, after all, stand for sex, drugs and rock and roll. and those are actually the things they always sang about him of his own love. songs like i can't get no satisfaction captured that side guys . the stones grew up in the austere post war era. the 19 sixty's 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 defaulted in kennedy though his own to children of their time. so the attitude was very rebellious. it is if 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. and a lot of what they did can only be understood against that backdrop units. 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 wit, street fighting men, a song against war for civil disobedience. the song became the soundtrack to violent clashes between demonstrators and police. with

me, but the rebel image was also partly a p r strategy. and jr goes and he was, the manager saw an opportunity in a mark, you know, in a world a gone be pulled matt 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 can't, puts the beatles and that definitely was pope and marketing. oh, another rolling stones, classic painted black also broke with the conventions of the time. the stones still played at concerts today, and it says popular as ever among many young music influencers, who cover it, including the artist gum, hasta, ah,

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 they're 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, which 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 reestablishment is really what 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. some body of 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 magazine 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 called. today, the red rolling stones tongue is ubiquitous. the merchandising business is booming . sales ban 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 for life as well as the music side of life. the stones also influenced arch house, still making the band made sympathy for the devil in 1900. 68, with french swiss filmmaker jones godaddy. ah, 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 and interesting eyes, you know, has like hugely brilliant pieces of work in the world to shows that kind of breadth of interest outside of playing rock and roll that plugged into the time. you know, 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. their stage out which changed over the decade, 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 his clothes 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, him, you know, even the way that they cut my, hey, and i keep was always kind of an haran creating my incredible kind of shaggy rock'n'roll cuff. 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, but a leopard print, you know, and they're ronnie, ronnie,

always love to have, you know, some grant me really get, see that person is through that. and that image, hey, everybody wanted to look like them. and musicians wanted to sound like them. the next reason on a great a, 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 go monday and i kind of dirty music like that, which many, many great bands then cultivated afterward, his t, the fuel growth, the burn center, had an offer for lead time on the funding with the faces, guns and roses rose the black crows, for example, ralston bosh blue to white on a didn't just inspire other bands. music where they also explored new fee

$70.00 for the devil 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 entrance of the stones are found. but perhaps the biggest way to still influenced 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 fields if the student beat their massive stage equipment ensures that fans get a full rolling stones experience. those poor pallet rolling stones are leap was got on 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 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 field 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 by some of them can most of the benefit really they face at the template for what those big monster cartoons are that you see today in advance light new to you and you know, co play or whoever's going out and playing those big monster will turn the stones really kind of build grammar. they really kind of late. you can't drive a pass for other eyes to come behind and create a network of like pennies if you could play at, you know, 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. it goes on the to, 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 and beat con, south concert for a late rock stern, nearly jordan, 50000 english fans. he did the rolling stones calling and attended their 1st public appearance in 14 mazda, the man being honored to go to the brian jones randal, ex guitarist who drowned in a swimming pool and bought that one from 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 free festival was overshadowed by the death of an audience member killed by one of the hells angels who were hired as security. the volcano 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, that security has to be a priority at large concerts like this in order to protect people the lot. ah, the gloomy mood, if altamont is captured by the song, guinea shelter, which reflects the daily violence in the medium to day, it seems as if 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 joy and passion, but also from darkness and struggle. so many bands fall apart, you know, one face to teach trudging, but for the stains, it seemed to, you know,

that tension of the difficulties and the things that you navigated 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. the legal consequences could have put an end to the rolling stones. he had to make a 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 attention. 2 the band members didn't always see eye to eye. done

gov's in octagon there's, there was a rough patch in the eighty's when jagger and richard didn't get along at all for a while. come on mick jagger assigned to solar contract with cbs behind the bands. back and brought out his 1st solo album and the rest of the band was furious with a ah, with the future of the stones. was it stag assignment? pardon it's horace. 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, was part of his destiny. he felt it to be in the band and to bring those, those tea back together. and he is daphne 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, longtime girlfriend, lorenz squad, committed suicide in 2014. the death of the stones drummer charlie was in 2021. was the most recent big glow tale is hugely huge. the mess and he was a great influence within the bounty. now everybody lost 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 in the bands dedicated the show to him. 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 way to celebrate his life, rob them, or to, to mourn it. and that's what the rolling stones at $62.00 are, was all about a celebration of longevity and enduring success. for the past 60 years, mix moves and keeps riffs, have inspired 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 content that i bought 3 generations of stones fan. oh, a son you at the

moon? yeah. yeah. the reason you got the road, and i mean 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, [000:00:00;00]
