Weight: one stone each
Height: bigger than life

Seriously, haven't got a clue, but I wouldn't be surprised if all four are 1.78 meter tall and weigh 70 kilo.

Mick should be around 1.70 (+/-) and he is the tallest.

If Keith is 1.76 I'm taller than Shaquille O'Neil!

I met MJ and I am sure he is not taller than 1.70

They were suppose to convert to the metric system over here in America many years back. They didn't. This is the first time I needed it.

Mick is 175-180 and Keith is a bit shorter.

Mick can't be any taller than 1.65, as I was standing right next to him and I was a full head taller than he is, and I am 1.85.

A person I know have met them all at least three times (twice weith Brian, once with MT), long meetings everytime & as a bonus some more meetings with Keith.
This guy is of average length himself (which in Sweden for his generation would be somewhere along 176-178 cm). He said they all reached to his shoulders.
Even if this must be a slightly understetement of their stature; it seems like they are likely to be under then over 170. I have also read that keith had put forths that he is 176 cm. But not even I believe that each & every word Keef has said has been 100% true over the years...
I met ALO in November, and he sure aint much over 165 cm... But on the other hand, when picturing all the figures during his time, he seems to be the shortest of them... I say all of them (MJ, KR, CW; Ron I have no idea; and Wyman aint much taller than an Irish garden gnome) are 168-172 cm.
Weight: I say they have advantageous BMI´s.

Mathijs, as always you are a "klote sack".Did i write it well?
I met Mick and talked to Keith while he was signing a bootleg : i'm 1m81 and they both smaller than me but 1m65 is ridiculous.
So 1m72 +or- 2cm for the whole band is my last word.

Marclaff, it's "Klootzak". Nice to hear someone say that word without speaking dutch. What I was wondering is why the hell you let let them sign a bootleg. Why not a LP or a original cd?

Why want somebody to know their size? Not important.

melillo has got it right his bang on...nice to see feet and inches being used..
anyhow when i went to dinner with mick he was about an inch taller than me im 5ft 9ins tall...as for the size of there egos well its mega... thank god

Re: Height and weight?

Seems like marclaff and myself has reached a similar conclusion with two different methods (though fundamentally similar type of methods).
Melillo; you´re very exact in your measures here; where´s the source?

A point worth to mention is, that when a person is skiing for a whole day he shrinks ab 3-4 cm... How much do the Stones shrink after a gig... And do they ever reach their original height again?
Seriously I dont think you can fix a length/height for a person during his or her whole lifetime. What did the smack do for Keith, e.g.? Or the lack of smack?

According to IMDB, the movie database,

Both Mick and Keith are 1.78 m, Ronnie is 1.79 m.

No, you didn't, it's klootzak. And why would I be one? Because Mick is at least 7 inches smaller than I am?

The next question could be whether Bill Wyman is a good guitarist or not.
That might ring a bell.....

I'm from Kristiansand:-) The reason for asking this question is that I'm tired of people claiming that the guys are so small. When I think of small people I think of AC/DC. To me it means nothing, I just want to set the record straight. I've seen the Stones dozens of times and never thought of them as small. All I want is an answer from someone who knows. People who's guessing and people who are rude; please shut up and stay out! :-)

It is not a matter of being rude or guessing.

MJ is not taller than 1.70, and that is a fact. That does not mean he is "small".
Anyway it depends from what your point of view is. Avarage Italians are not that tall. I am 1.83 and could be considered a "tall" Italian. My girlfriend, who is Polish and is 1.78, believes I am not tall!

p.s.

I sky alot, and I can assure everybody that I don't "shrink" 4-5 cm after a day at the mountains!!

Rubbish! None of them comes near 1,78m. What does size matter? They are larger than life.

Re: Height and weight?

Not taller than 1.70? Yes he's taller than 1.70. My dad is short and he's 1.73. Mick is taller than him. Mick is probably 1.75-178 as they suggest on IMDB. Keith is slightly shorter though.

A female friend of mine visited the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. She saw a jumpsuit of Mick's from the 70s. She swears he's no larger than a ladies' size 4. I have to think he's at least 5ft 9in = 1.8m

LOl, this is becoming the new Taylor vs. Wood debate!

I stick to my initial assessment of them being slightly under 1.80 mt, which comes close to the movie database and melillo's figures, which are converted to meters (from high to low):

Mick 1.77(8)
Ronnie 1.77(8)
Keith 1.76(5)
Charlie 1.72(5)
Bill 1.70(2)
Brian (when alive) 1.67(6)

.. all not considering their possibly having shrunk over the years (carrying those heavy telecasters & breakdown of bone structure due to substance abuse).

Now I really don't understand why Ronnie lets Keith belittle himself, he's 1.3 cm taller!
