Who owns the name the "Rolling Stones"? I would assume Jagger & Richards?

It would never happen, but legally could Watts--Jagger & Richards leave the band and be replaced with "Rolling Stones" name in use?

This isn't to argue that philisophically it wouldn't be the "Rolling Stones" w/o anyone of those 3 members. I'd agree on that issue....but legally could it happen?

If you think about it, the estate of Brian Jones mihgt have a say in the name "Rolling Stones", as he named the band.

I see all these 'Drifters", "Platters", "Coasters" continuing on without any (or maybe 1 ) original members...in comedy, the Three Stooges went on with Shemp (spelling?)...in a strange world, we could conceivably end up with a Rollong Stones with a "Shemp-like" guitarist in place of Keith (Ha-ha!).

I do. By the way you owe me 50 bucks for writing it.

its a company...and mick, keith, watts and woodie are all members...they are all shareholders in the name..brian jones was said to be paid off in 1969....
i wonder if bill wyman still has a stake in the company?

I heard Axl Rose owns all rock band names....

I suppose McKinley Morganfield in a way.

of course before Muddy Morganfield there was the old proverb about British Rockers and gathering moss

On a related subject, does the "Ruby Tuesday" resturant chain pay any royalties to Jagger/Richards?

and do I owe anybody any money every time I say to a woman, "Let's Spend The Night Together?"

ROCKMAN

If I'm correct the name Rolling Stones and the lips&tongue logo is trademarked and owned by Mudidor BV, their company in Holland

I recall in the mid 80's there were 3 versions of The Clash touring, one with Joe Strummer, one with Mick Jones and one with Topper Headon!

The Temptations still tour, although none of the original band members is with them anymore. I think all have now passed away.

Also, original Deep Purple vocalist Rod Evans toured as Deep Purple in the mid 80's but I think legal action forced him to stop. Similar to the current Beach Boys situation, where lead singer Mike Love tours as The Beach Boys. I think Bruce Johnston is with him, too. Former bandmate Al Jardine also toured as The Beach Boys but was sued by Love so he had to stop. Sad way for bands and friendships to end!
