The Sicilian
I think it started in 1978 when Mick started playing guitar. "Some Girls" dragged out the punk and metal in the band, it was continued somewhat with "Tattoo You". I think it lasted until Steel Wheels in 1989.
I often wondered if the Stones should "heavied" up their sound with a third guitarist. It would have been interesting.
I also remember this or a similar interview with Mick, but as I remember it, it was more to do with Dirty Work than Undercover (As I say it might not have been the exact same Int.) If I remember rightly he was explaining the move to write the more tuneful songs of Steel Wheels......He said the band in his opinion had moved too far into Hard Rock with Dirty work......Quote

@Sicilian: perhaps I know what you mean. I remember an Jagger interview around 1983 after recording Undercover that Jagger was bored and frustrated with playing heavy rockers, becoming a hard rock band (not in the sense of heavy metal). Less variation in music, less ballads , less country...Think that was a reason for splitting up a little bit later.

Metal has nothing to do with blues and has more influence from classical music, the Stones have never been remotely close to playing heavy metal...thank God.

well since hardrock and metal is not so far away and acdc is a classic bluesinfluenced hardrock band or guns n roses, so i'm not so shure if you're right if metal takes it roots mainly from classical music and not from blues.. of course the stones never played metal.

Metal having more influence from classical music? Must be heavy classical music then.
But Sicilian said "quasi metal band" and I understand what he means. He voices very well why I don't like the sound of the 81/82 tours.
