Hey, as long as this keeps him from making any more crappy solo albums or subpar late-period Rolling Stones albums, I’m all for it: turns out that Mick Jagger, Rolling Stones frontman and all around rock ‘n roll badass (and excellent chicken dancer), is a Facebook junkie.
After being raked over the coals in Keith Richards’ new autobiography, Life, Mick Jagger has finally responded-albeit nonspecifically—to the accusations Keef lobbed at his pretentiousness, singing style, and, er, penis size.
Oh, Keith.
Turns out Keith Richards still has no problem living up to the rebellious and freewheeling characterization of himself that he endlessly (and quite entertainingly) muses on in his new autobiography, Life. Case in point: during an interview promoting Life with a Swedish journalist in a Paris Hotel, Keef managed to threaten and then attack the interviewer ten minutes into the chat.
The Rolling Stones have a nice treat in store for their fans: two, limited edition vinyl box sets covering 40-plus years of the Rolling Stones’ legendary career.
The remastered, limited edition releases, due out November 23, group together 23 studio albums, as well as compilation albums and EPs.
Just as the Rolling Stones have topped the U.K. album chart for the first time in 16 years with the reissue of their classic, 1972 album Exile On Main St., the band is now working its spin controls to deny reports that Charlie Watts is leaving the band.
According to NME, the 68-year-old drummer’s future with the Stones was called into question by reports circulating from Australia.
Don’t call Mick Jagger a Rock-N-Roll icon, he will say it was luck, hard work, and loyal fans that gave him and his famous band longevity. Don’t mind the talent, string of hits, or sex appeal of The Rolling Stones. Luck can’t explain 50 years of groundbreaking music yet according to Jagger that’s all it was…
To go along with the Rolling Stones reissue their 1972 masterpiece Exile On Main Street (w/ 10 unreleased tracks) on May 17, a whopping 10 minutes from the Rolling Stones’ infamous, unreleased documentary Cocksucker Blues will be part of a new, 30-minute documentary, Stones in Exile, which features rare, never-before-seen archival film, photos and interviews.
Directed by Robert Frank, Cocksucker Blues, commissioned by the Stones for their 1972 US tour, was banned by the band due to its racy, rock ‘n’ roll behavior.
Cue up “Street Fighting Man.” Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood was arrested Wednesday night for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend in the street in Surrey, England, BBC News reported. The 62-year-old Wood spent the day in custody after police arrested him on suspicion of attacking 20-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova. He was later released on bail.
Last month, Wood was divorced by his wife Jo on the grounds of adultery, after 24 years of marriage. The couple split in ’08 when Wood began a relationship with Ivanova.
We all know that Noel Gallagher left Oasis, but did Charlie Watts leave The Rolling Stones? Several reports have the famed drummer saying goodbye to the legendary rock group. According to ABCNews, all of these reports are false, and Watts is still an active part of the quartet. If that’s the case where did the story come from, and what do the Stones have to say about this?
