This is the best and most fun intervieuw with the stones i have ever seen!!!!
Dave Evans is, i think, a dj for the BBC radio and he "visited" the stones in Chicago in 1999 during there No Security tour. The way he talks with the four stones is just so cool. They are all very relaxed and joking around with him. He asked the funniest of questions ("how do the stones look like from the back?", Charlie "Well you got one little arse on the right, one litlle arse with a goofy head and got change growing out of his hair now") and they all responed very relaxed, laughing and joking.
Is he a friend of them or what is there relationship?
You must see this intervieuw it is the best ever!!!!!


Email me if you would like to have because it is a must for every stones fan and every other person on this planet!!!

Cheers,
Wuudy

Perhaps you could upload it to an ftp somewhere?

If you can tell me how because i have no idea how that stuff works.

Wasn't Dave Evans the guy that poured beers over Ronnie during a MTV award show some years ago? Ronnie tried to hit him in the face...

lol never heard that story before. Dave Evans has a bit of a funny face with a think red hair and big black glasses on.

Brandon Block , a shithouse club dj, tried it on with Ronnie, at "The Brits" afew years back, if thats what you're refering to.

Wuudy, you've got mail

sure you don't mean Chris Evans?

Yes it was Chris Evans not Dave Evans who did that interview. Remember it well. I think that the Stones only agreed to be interviewed if it was Chris Evans who did it - apparently they got on with him pretty well.

It was Chris Evans indeed.

It was Chris Evans, and the only reason he had access to the Stones for that interview was because HE was (at the time) Mr Virgin Radio here in the UK - having bought the radio station off Richard Branson. Since then his demise has been spectacular, he lost his grip completely due to a seemingly worsening addiction to booze fuelled bizarre behaviour. At some point he failed to turn up 3 or 4 days on the trot to host his radio show - the breakfast show on Virgin. Got fired, tried unsuccessfully to litigate for unfair dismissal and loss of earnings and all that bollocks, married some silly teenage pop diva called Billy Piper (no disrespect to Billy - sure she's a lovely girl n' all that) and buggered off to LA I think where he took something like 1-2 years off work and kept his nose entirely out of the UK - having lost all shred of credibility. Since then he has re-emerged in the UK and is attempting to re-establish some of this lost credibility and also to reconstruct a ruined career. To date he's done a spectacularly bad job on both fronts. These days he's probably best described as a "spent force". I think he might have just been given a once weekly slot on BBC radio 2, perhaps he's beginning to make the long climb back.

Personally, I have no time for him. It couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke !

Speaking of BBC interviews there's a two-hour one coming up with Paul Sexton, Like The Rolling Stones, recorded in Toronto. It's in two parts, this coming Saturday and Monday (27/8 21.30-22.30 and 29/8 19.00-20.00) There's an accompanying blurb in the Radio Times which I would copy out except that I've left it at work.

this interview wasnt actually for the BBC but was a one hour TV special for Channel 4 called "TFI The Rolling Stones"

Its a good special with some nice clips of the Stones' Chicago show in April 1999. The interviews are excellent

Evans made a bet with Jagger. "Name 3 guys on these polaroids and you get 10$!" Jagger knew all of them ("That´s Lizzy from the wardrobe!") and took the 10 $. Great stuff,indeed.

Dave Evans is The Edge btw

lol that's true Bowiestone.

I think this intervieuw is the best of Charlie, at least that i have seen. He is so relaxed and has cool answers!

Cheers,

"Yes it was Chris Evans not Dave Evans who did that interview. Remember it well. I think that the Stones only agreed to be interviewed if it was Chris Evans who did it - apparently they got on with him pretty well."

Actually the rumour at the time was that Keith couldn't stand Evans and had said he wouldn't go into the same room as him. He must have been talked round I guess and did actually seem to enjoy the interview. He was a bit of a love him or loathe him figure in the UK around that time. He was ubiquitous and although quite fresh and quirky in the beginning started to think the sun shone out of his arse.

Addendum:

The Stones are rolling out their best music in years. Paul Sexton, who presents a Radio 2 special, finds out how they keep the chemistry alive.

I'm in Mick Jagger's dressing room in a Toronto school which the Rolling Stones have commandeered as a rehearsal space. I'm preparing to discuss the new Stones album and tour when suddenly Jagger brandishes a small tape recorder. Looks like Jagger, 62, ever cautious of media representation, is going to tape our conversation. Pity, I think, as we've met several times before. Instead he walks over to sit at the keyboard that's next to his coach. "Hang on a minute", he says, "Just got to put this snippet down." He then plays a bit of beautiful electric piano. "Don't want to lose these things, you never know", he says, explaining that he'd thought of the chord changes 30 seconds earlier. "You think you'll remember it, but you don't."
Such are the insightful treats of a journey to the centre of the Stones. Half a dozen times in the past decade I've had fascinating close-ups with each of the band members. The scene I've just described is the sort I've watched many times, but it's the type that doesn't make the tabloids.
They may be multi-millionaires, but the Stones are more committed to their jobs than bands a third of their age. Tour rehearsals, for instance, run fron 5pm to 1am with a dinner break, six days a week for six weeks.
"I don't know why the Stones are still popular," says Jagger. Casually stylish in light-blue shirt and blue trousers, he's legendarily lined but lucks nowhere near his age, "You could say we're just lucky, or we get respect the longer we've been around. Or ther's a work ethic in there. Maybe it's a combination of all those things."
A Bigger Bang is the Stones' first new studio album for eight years. Their best for over 25 years, the enrgy and consistency in these songs is testament to the level of commitment with which they were made.
Initial sessions for the album took place at Jagger's chateau in France, where he and co-writer Richards worked closely together. Things were at a low ebb during the 1980s, but they're back as a creative force. "We've always worked two in a room together," says Jagger, but admits there was more of that approach this time. "I love to write with Keith and to write stuff on my own." Richards adds,"The basic stuff was done in one room. Mick's been very simpatico lately."
Their fellow Stones would join the sessions later, Ronnie Wood adding guitar, while drummer Charlie Watts, 64, had much to prove. He speaks candidly in the Radio 2 special about his successful recovery from cancer, denying he was subconsciously telling the band not to write him off. "I didn't want to show them, I wanted to show myself," he says, "That's about the extent of my ego, really."
In Boston, where the tour opened, some of the crowd sat on a special stage along with the band, showing that the Stones haven't lost contact with their fans. It's still only rock 'n' roll but, more important than the box-office takings, they still like it.

More info on the interviews:

The Rolling Stones… in conversation with Paul Sexton, recorded in Toronto, Canada, earlier this month.

Programme One
Paul talks to the band about their place in music in 2005 and the importance of the Rolling Stones brand. He discusses the band on tour and gets the low-down on what goes on behind the scenes and on stage. Paul also assesses the band's relationship with the media over the years and gives the listener a real insight into one of Britain’s legendary rock bands.
Programme Two
Paul focuses on the making of Rolling Stones’ brand new album “A Bigger Bang” , due for release in September and widely thought to be their best studio album for over 20 years.

The programme looks at why the band returned to the studio so quickly after the last tour and focuses on the remarkable songwriting partnership between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Paul also traces the story of the Stones since their “Forty Licks” Tour back in 2002, in particular looking at factors that have led to changing relationships within the band as well as assessing the bands legacy and future.
