Quotegeorgie48 But in retrospect The Beatles (basically all other young, mostly British bands) started of as boy bands. Nonsense. The Beatles started as a group of lads interested in playing music together, and they served a (very) long apprenticeship playing the clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg. "Boy Bands" are put together by money seeking managers. The totally best contem

The Rolling Stones absolutely were NOT the first band to stream live on the World Wide Web.. There seems to have been a bit of a scramble at that time to try out the technology (multicasting etc), but the Stones were beaten to it by a few weeks. I recall trying to get a friend who at that time was very close to the inner circle of the Stones to go to a lab at a university in London so that

QuoteStonesSmeth99 Comments from Steve Jordan in The Guardian: That article really really contains a lot (not all) of rubbish. To fully appreciate how different The Beatles' sound was you had to have been listening to 1950's bland Payola music for many years. That DIFFERENCE in late 1962 was stunning and on first hearing in 1962 it really stood out. (See later for an anecdote).

Camp. Yes. Slightly embarrassing at times. Yes. But it really does have one of the GREAT film scenes in rock music. There's a scene where a sort of destitute Mick Jagger is trying to prove to a shop keeper that he is who he says he is. (A man of wealth and taste). He's dancing. And in the background there's a kid imitating him. Priceless. In the old days of VHS I

Quotestonesstein Treacle, very interesting! These could be related, perhaps. They are weird couplings - Rooster & Mona (neither were US singles), but Under My Thumb & Spider and the Fly were never singles anywhere as I recall. Is it possible that they are special pressings (quite possibly not fully legitimate) for use in a Juke Box? Just a thought....

I think that the age old saying that "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts" applies just as much to The Stones as is does to The Beatles. No single member of either band has produced anything of the standard that the whole band produced.
