I really like Darryll, as a person and a musician, but no, he does not have the looks to be a Stone.
what does this even mean? It may have been relevant in 1963 when they dumped Ian Stewart as they were trying to appeal to 13-year old girls, but who on earth seriously thinks a bunch of wizened septuagenerians are going to be preoccupied with what a band member 'looks' like.
You may think what you want, but i dont give a flying @#$%& for your opinion. I heard from a friend from a brother from a cousin that jagger does not find him suitable to be a stone.

LMAO....well thats it settled then.
Yeah, hes not 'suitable' for the same reasons that he wasnt suitable several pages ago.

By the way, exactly how does one laugh one's ass off? I understand the rolling on the floor part and even the pissing myself laughing bit as well. But wouldn't you be laughing your head off, since laughter flows through the mouth? If you were laughing through your ass, you'd be farting. Or at least a case of the runs. Laughing your ass off--now that's funny shit!

Take it to the complaints thread stonehearted...we don't need your kind of negativity on the Daryl Jones is he or isn't he thread.

No he isn't but he is good enough that he can play with them which is for a musician what matters. Anyway,if you had too many rolling stones that would make them less special. Right now there are only 4 and the Rolling Stones play their shows with a gang of great players.
Rock and roll,

Tony Chapman never played one single gig with the Stones (He rehearsed once maybe twice at the most) nor did Geoff Bradford (rehearsed only), Also at Rehearsals were Andy Wren & Brian Knight... but you forgot Collin Goldin who did played bass with the band for at least 8 shows & Dick Taylor who played with the band till Sept/Oct. 1962. also Paul Jones actually replaced Jagger at one show in 62. side note: Micky Waller replaced Charlie in March 1964 for one gig (the 15th).

Mick Avory never played a gig with them, either. Only a couple of rehearsals.

I think it's silly and shameful that Darryl isn't considered a Rolling Stone actually. The bass guitar is one of the most important instruments in creating the music the Stones play. I can somewhat see how the keyboards might be considered less necessary instrument on some songs anyway but with Chucks other important roles he should be a Stone too, imo.
There are obviously three way to look at this:
Business: No he's not a Stone because the key businessmen have never let him become one and obviously never will.
Image: No he's not a Stone because they have decided to stick with a proven formula of only including the 4 skinny English guys and capitalizing on the history and nostalgia of it all.
Music: Hell yes he's a Stone. Whether you like his contributions of not, the music wouldn't be happening without him playing on every live tune.
I've never been comfortable with the Stones relegating long time (and permanent) members as side men, a clear sign that the business and image aspects are more important than the music, imo. What other good bands do you know where the bass player isn't considered part of the band? It's all bs to me and I would have more respect for them if, after a key musician proved his mettle, they would make them official members. Darryl certainly deserves to be one, imo.
There is likely a loss of creative contribution involved too when key members are relegated as sidemen. It's not that I think Mick and Keith wouldn't dominate most of the creative decisions anyway, but I imagine the motivation to contribute your best stuff could be somewhat dampened by the sidemen relegation. We all know both Darryl and Chuck are excellent musicians, maybe the best in the band, is it coincidence we don't hear the best musical output from them and don't ever consider them as standouts? Is it coincidence that the best music came from the Stones when everyone (except Stu) was considered an equal partner in the band? It's hard to say but my feeling is that the Stones have done themselves a disservice by this approach. That their desire to have such personal limited ownership of the creations and the image and business have limited their ability to deliver the best product possible.

The precedent of Ian Stewart speaks loudly here. It was clear from the start that band membership was not guaranteed anyone, no matter how big their contributions.

Not a Rolling Stone, but an extremely talented musician. And a very nice person.

Perhaps you are right but I think it was a stupid precedent. I loved Stu, always thought he should have been a full fledged member. He friggin' co-founded the band with Brian, they should have told ALO to piss off. In fact it goes against the artistic credibility and bad boys with a vision portrait that some people here paint of them that they didn't do just that. These guys were early sell outs to the establishment.

Anita Pallenberg was considered somehow as being a Rolling Stone.
