[quote]The Rolling Stones started in the early 1960s as a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues"]rhythm and blues[/URL] cover band with Jagger as frontman. Jagger and guitarist [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Richards"]Keith Richards[/URL] developed a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagger/Richards"]songwriting partnership[/URL] and by the mid-1960s the group had evolved into a major rock band. Frequent conflict with the authorities, including alleged drug use, and his romantic involvements ensured that during this time Jagger was never far from the headlines, and he was often portrayed as a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterculture"]counterculture[/URL] figure. In the late 1960s Jagger began acting in films (starting with [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_%28film%29"]Performance[/URL][/I] and [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly_%281970_film%29"]Ned Kelly[/URL][/I]), to mixed reception.[/quote][U][B]

When drummer [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Chapman"]Tony Chapman[/URL] told him that a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues"]rhythm and blues[/URL] band called The Rolling Stones needed a bass player, he auditioned and was hired on 7 December 1962 as a successor to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Taylor"]Dick Taylor[/URL].

Amazing awesome and everything in between band.. And they're still rocking without the chairs! I managed to see them before their bones turn to dust, so I'm pretty proud.
Exile On Main St. is by far my favorite thing that they've done.
