69 d w. ah, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner check. hot spot for food, chair, and some great cultural memorials to boot. to w travel off we go. sex drugs and rock and roll have meet the rolling stones iconic. in 2022. they celebrated their 60th anniversary bands of let so post labor subside. soon as we buy gate for the sake of the youth, when 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 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 shotgun was one stop on those 60th anniversary tour. we met up with using journalist and stones expert asked whole fucker williams. nonsense as a really young age. about 1617. but the rolling stones were huge. blues fans ah, oh, scope in london. 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 saying what i saw on the climb. 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 good name. and they got together to form a band and very quickly turned out to be one of the best fellows under the best we have. at 1st, the stones covered their favorite blue songs, john lee hooker, muddy waters. how when was the bill rosy and chuck berry were blue's pioneers, who influenced the up and coming back. 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 bluesy rock, the stone still play to day 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, the stones 1st record label in the u. k as well. so we're 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 reason that he hasn't actually got a date on it is 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 to store very quickly, the stones realised they also had a certain affinity for him. let's say i'm the hawk themes and they started to write their own songs in. go desist, i list tickly these went beyond the blues. john rob 11th, who somebody knows they wrote songs like the last time or satisfaction of the last time with satisfaction. the truly like they started to create their own identity

and they could, oh, 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 sol and rock'n'roll. oh, their dynamic tore up the rule book on the usual distinction between rhythm guitar and lead guitar. always. you know, we started with brian james and that it was and was always in changing this kind of

sense that that blank i different instrument ah, this is kind of, you know, it was not 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, the ability for both of them to play with them and leave 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 counter stablish, 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 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, if you see my letter with they 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 or products law is that jagger called himself a rebel against society. because and said he would continue to take drugs. how's gifts and amen? i lived with the stones up to ross dan, 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 kinda these assigned to 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 venus. what's a good bottom? come on of north disney that one posted. 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 you guys and he was a manager, saw an opportunity in a mark, you know, in a world a gone be pulled mad to, to set the stains

a slightly different, you know, to be, ah, you know, not the clean cut suit wearing. you know, boys next door singing about wanting to hold your hand. he saw an opportunity that them as the kind of rebellious can't pots the be so that definitely was parked 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 mazda. ah, [000:00:00;00]

ah, rebellion is timing. 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 we established them 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. some body of police are the rolling stones and 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. ah, 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 juggles mouth, which you can't really miss with was a design student in his mid twenties at the time. and it's 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 and that he understands the sort of business side for life as well as the music trying to play. the stones also influenced our child still making the band made sympathy for the devil in 1900. 68, with french twist. filmmaker jones go, dad. 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 to work with interesting filmmakers. an interesting, i said, you know, has like hugely brilliant piece of work in the world. the shows that kind of interesting outside of playing rock and roll that plugged in. now you know the time and i have interest 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 outfits which changed over the decades significantly influence the image of rock stars. they dandy fight rock war 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 way his clothes in that kind of late sixty's period. you know, he was wearing like anita palumbo, glasses like they were kind of trophies the and i like they were wearing, you know, women's clothes but making them look incredibly like male and sexy and you know, they can't, they him, you know, even the way that they cut my high and i keep was always kind of an haran crate and my incredible kind of shaggy rock'n'roll kept 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, keith with his. com is still key and i a bit, a leopard print and i and that ronnie, ronnie always looked a hat. he knows that some gray hat you really get to see that person is through that. they are close in the image heavily,

but he wanted to look like them and musicians wanted to sound like them. the next reason the stones are the greatest it's not just blues music that they popularized in rock and roll. the stalls. i'm lying dish near as well as their attitude. the stones developed a style that's known as slaves wrong. and because when i kind of them dirty music, which many, many great bands then cultivated afterward, he's a p, the fuel both a bounce into an off conflict on the 1st starting with the faces guns and roses rose the black crows, for example, across from by spoon so why don't 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 to that 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 stayed 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 fee on the fish told them their massive stage equipment ensures that fans get a full rolling stones experience. those poor palo rolling stones are leap 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 feel intimate. and and right now i think we're just reaching 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 food stadiums, audio and explode. 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 was off the blue bus here really they,

they set the template for what those big monster kind of to as are the see today. and i've been quite new to and you know, co play or whoever's going out and playing those big monster world to the stance. really kind of build grammar. they really kind of late, you know, drove a passion for other eyes to come behind and create a network of flight benny's 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 as a, an artist in a graphic designer. he was very interested in that side of things. i personally would never, ever go to a stadium to see any one clue. i would, i would always go to a club. ah, the fame doesn't necessarily make you invincible. this goes on the through. he was in 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 1960 hi. this is o lead concept. a concert for a late rock star. nearly 250000 english fans. he did the rolling stones calling and attended their 1st public appearance in 14 mazda, the man being honored with it. brian jones randal ex guitarist who drowned in a swimming pool and bought that one from about why. and 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. valjean phone is, is that we're definitely a very, very educational and very depressing experience for the band as well. and i think they learned from it, like many others in this business, that security has to be a priority at large constants like this in order to protect people,

the loaded ships. ah, the gloomy mood of altamont is captured by the song gimme shelter, which reflects the daily violence in the medium. today's disease, jagger and richard had foreseen the murder at altamont. 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 no joy in 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. d 977, he was arrested intern unto for possession of harrowing. illegal 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 arresting 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 gazande in octagon 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 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 their been the 3 off the i a lucas. the future of the stones was at stake. some guidance on guitar as 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. and he is stephanie 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,

god committed suicide. in 2014, the death of the stones, drummer charlie was in 2020 was the most recent big glow. tale is hugely, hugely 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. and 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. i 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, rob them,

or to, to mourn it. and that's what the rolling stones at 62 are, was all about a celebration of longevity and enduring success for the past 60 years makes 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, a different personality, bringing them together and keep them going again. it was a wonderful confidence after i bought 3 generations of stones fan. oh, a son you at the moon. the reason you got the rolling, i mean they,

they just 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] with a pulse ah, the beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's all about to perspective. culture information this is neither you news and more. d, w. made from mines kick
