Motivations? Jagger is the ultimate show-man of all time. Richards is one of the most innovative and undoubtably coolest guitarist in the world. (Brian) Jones put the Stones together and was a musical genious. Not just on the guitar. Just about every musical instrument you can think of. Taylor is a great guitarist but absolutely not a Stone. He's... well... let's face it: a bit of a geek, if you ask me. Great guitarist though, the Stones made some of their more creative music with him. Wyman is the best bass player in the world. He's a genious on the bass and his looks are very cool. Same actually goes for Watts. Best drummer in the universe and ultra-cool looks. Wood is a(or arguably was) a great guitarist.
Gotta' love Ronnie!
(Daryl) Jones. Don't like him too much. He's a true jazz player, not rock 'n' roll. Also, The Rolling Stones are probably the band that got famous because they were white. Seeing a really fat black guy with dreadlocks doesn't really fit in the picture of 4 skinny white guys.
Leavell... he's too country for me. Not boogie woogie enough. He does have his moments, though. Honky Tonk Woman is always nice with Chuck.
Now Stu... that's another story. He was too ugly to be a Stone, but I count him in. His boogie woogie made the Stones' something special. He was great on the 81/82 tour. Too bad he's past away...
Bobby Keys... he's fat, ugly and old. Well, they're all old, but he's always looked "mature" to me. Not the rebellious kind of guy the Stones are. But his sax-playing is great and you get used to his looks.
Lisa Fisher is great on Gimmie Shelter, Night Time Is The Right Time, all here solo moments. But for of the show I could do without her.
Chaplin. I never liked the guy... he's not the best of singers. He's not the best of guitarists. He's just there for the percussion.
Fowler is better at singing, but really doesn't fit in the picture just like Daryl. He's OK though.
