Rolling Stones

Rolling Stones x TerraceNova .

The Rolling Stones are one of the most influential and long-lasting rock bands in history  often representing the rebellious, dangerous, blues driven side of rock music.

Formed in London in 1962, the classic core lineup became:

• Mick Jagger – vocals
• Keith Richards – guitar
• Charlie Watts – drums
• Ronnie Wood – guitar
• originally also Brian Jones, whose early influence was huge

What made them different

In the 1960s, they were often contrasted with:

• The Beatles

If The Beatles represented charm and experimentation, The Rolling Stones represented:

• rebellion
• sexuality
• grit
• danger
• rhythm and blues swagger

That contrast helped define rock culture.
