History of the Rolling Stones, summarized: Its indelible mark on rock & roll
Mick and Keith knew each other as children. They met again in a train ten years later. Mick had some discs. That excited Keith: his old schoolmate liked rock & roll, like him. When they were three, teenagers Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones formed a band: The Rolling Stones.
In 1963 they played regularly at the Crawdaddy Club. There they made their first fans, including four Liverpool boys. George Harrison recommended them to the Decca and loaned them to an advisor as manager, Andrew Loog Oldham. They played the last passengers, they consolidated the ones they had and that's how it all started: Jagger, Richards, Jones, Bill Wyman (bass), Ian Stewart (piano) and Charlie Watts (drums) recorded their first single: "Come On", by Chuck Berry.
They were singles times and a "borrowed" Beatles, "I wanna be your man", was his first success. The Stones met the requirements to be new stars, except one detail. They started the 60s. Bangs, jacket and tie, blues covers, rockabillys. That was what the girls liked. But the Stones looked very zaparrastrosos by the standards of the time. It was there when another truth was revealed: zaparrastrosos also like girls
Oldham had a strategy: sell the Stones as the counterpart of the Beatles. For the first LP, he put together a set of old songs that the Stones recorded in one take and the record went quite well. But it was in 1965 when they published "(I cant get no) Satisfaction"; the band could also compose their own songs. And these were strong. Sex and drugs. After a handful of psychedelic LPs, fruit of the influence of Jones, a fierce intern was unleashed in the band. Basically, the devil stuck his tail ... shaped like a woman.
It was simple, Richards fell in love with Brian's girlfriend. Anita Pallenberg was a refined beauty of high intellectual level that enchanted Keith. Because of the addictions, and a little push from the band, Jones was ejected from the Stones, along with Oldham, and then he died. Without their most eclectic musician, the Rolling concentrated on the best they could do: Rock & Blues hard and even.

Only in 1978 the Stones returned to success. The LP "Some girls" (the one that had been titled with the women's name, "but we did not remember their names") became their sales milestone. Then, a few more plates and "Tattoo You", in 1981, with his last Nº1 in the charts: "Start me up".
The last three decades of the Stones run in a different way. As if adapting to the times, his last plates never aroused enthusiasm, but the band grew and grew in the live arena. Place they step on, place they burn. They are the satanic majesties. They are rock & roll. Never better said. They are rock & roll
I hope you liked it.
