Check out Dean Martin's intro and outro of the Stones first appearance on USA television. The Stones were pissed!

He reminds me of Keith talking about a new group.

This was included on 25x5.

Keith's response went something like "experiences like this just toughen you up and make you prove yourself even more."

Doesn't matter. You still gotta love Dean.

Foster Brooks used to play drunk. I think Dean actually was most of the time.

Never seen it before, thanks for posting

Dean's dismissive eye roll at the end, was a move Mick lifted and has used many times since.

This is the entire exchange, not all of it in the clip shown above.


--The Rolling Stones - "I Just Wanna Make Love To You"

Following song, Dean Martin comes out looking bewildered...and says "Rolling Stones...aren't they great?" (rolls his eyes) "They're going to leave right after the show for London. They are challenging the Beatles to a hair pulling contest. I could swear Jackie Coogan and Skippy were in that group. Well I'm going to let you in on something...you know these singing groups today...you're under the impression they have long hair. Not true at all...it's an optical illusion...they just have low foreheads and high eyebrows."

"So as we leave you...right now we'll have a short intermission. And We'll be back in Hollywood Palace in about a minute. Now don't go away. You...you wouldn't leave me here alone with the Rolling Stones now would you?"

Commercial break

--Larry Grizwold (comedy trampoline act) - man, attempting to dive into pool, does hazardous tricks on diving board.

Following Larry Grizwold's act, Dean Martin comments, "Larry Grizwold...isn't he wonderful? He's the father of the Rolling Stones. And ever since he heard them sing, he's been trying to kill himself."

no...he drank...but it was mostly an act...often pretending to be drinking bourbon when it was really apple juice...

Didn't Brian take his revenge by banging one of Dean's daughters?

Again, like Keith these days...

Actually, Keith is nowadays much more like Dean Martin than Muddy Waters he loves to make analogies to...

and ronnie is his jerry lewis....

In the mid-80's a friend of mine met one of Dean Martin's daughters at a club. She took great pride in her dad's Stones connection and bragged how her father introduced the band to the U.S. on American television....never bothering to mention how he ripped them apart as he did so!



Also, it was generally thought that this appearance is was what sparked the "jibes from mediocre comedians" comment in Dave Hassinger's liner notes on the U.S. Aftermath.

Check out Charlie Watt's liner notes on Between the Buttons that reference the Dean Martin put-down.

Deano was bad enough, but Kenny Rogers, at the Grammy awards when the Stones got their 'Lifetime Achievement" grammy, was worse.
After Clapton introduced them, Jagger says the tahnks, and then 'to all those who took the piss: the joke's on you. Thank yo very much'

then it cuts back to Kenny Rogers, who said:''yeah we're all real excited about here too, guys...'
real snarky- like...
never liked him anyway, bt after that, for sure didn't..

keith should have hit dean with his axe like he did to that fool on the 81 tour

My favorite quote about this is from Little Steven, who said: 'at that moment on stage I saw both my past and my future ...'

Ah, Dino. You were such a lovable boozehound, even when you were pandering to the squares.

he DEAD.

They not

I've heard the same story over the years

he be dead.
they be alive

That wasn't really booze he was always drinking, but apple juice. It was an act.

According to Nich Tosches book, Dean loved the Percodan. Ah, pally, nothin' like kickin' back with a scotch and opiates and watchin' Bonanza.

I've watched the Colgate Comedy Hours from the 1950s on NBC with Dean and Jerry and Dean was a hell of an entertainer. Funny too, but overshadowed by Jerry's lunacy. Smarter than we give him credit for too. They paid him a bundle for his TV show. But there's always been this aura of no one was allowed to get too close. Seems like him and Keith should have gotten along fine.

Actually, you're square if you DON'T like Dean Martin.

It was great publicity. We're still talking about it 40-odd years later. What's more amazing is that people actually think Martin wrote this when he's most likely reading a cue card written by some TV hack.
Hey, it's showbiz. That's the way it worked back then.

I don't know about that. Not too many people heard about it because ABC just ran the show once like that, and then edited it heavily when it was repeated.

When the Stones hit it big time, Hollywood Palace dug into the other songs recorded during the rehearsal session and played them without any barbs or criticism.

Fact is, the Stones weren't very good at that time in their career. That was a dreadful performance of I Just Want to Make Love to You, and Dean Martin rightfully thought it was cringe-worthy.

The Stones got so arrogrant a few years later (during the 1969 Altamont era) it was great to hear Dino cut the boys back down to size.

No, no, no! The hypnotic rhythm from Keith, Bill and Charlie, the aggressively lazy singing from Mick (it's a pity he soon dropped that style) and Brian's harmonica,emerging from the beat like the sound of a wild animal, ahhhh.... Leaving aside Mick's clap-skip thing and whatever the hell Keith was doing with his guitar, they were fantastic.

Dean Martin was great, too, though.


Edit: I ballsed up the quoting.
