Ah, 2008 was a big year for the Rolling Stones, not only did they score their biggest hit on the British album chart since 1970, but it also marked a major milestone for the two youngest members of the original line-up, all in the same hospital from Kent, just five years old. Within months of each other, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had reached retirement age just a year earlier, their five-leg Big Bang tour having ended up grossing almost $660 million. dollars to become the highest-grossing concert tour in history, in case there was any doubt that they could still perform it live, director Martin Scorsese preserved one of their recent - our concerts for posterity by committing it to celluloid.

Along the way, the way Ernie cushions them wants them not to know that they have his latest book because these apparent hitchhikers, so Plan B in the North, are five of the most famous young people in show business, the Rolling Stones, the destiny of history began. Back in London in 1962, the 20-year-old guitarist decided to form his own rhythm and blues band.

Brian Jones took on the stage name Elmo Lewis, convinced Mick and fellow guitarist Keith to join him and, along with Dick Taylor on bass, formed Stuart. piano and Mick Avery on drums gave their first concert as the Rolling Stones at the Marquee Club on July 12, 1962. By December, Taylor had been replaced on bass by Bill Wyman and by the time McCain Realist the boys already had their eye on in a drummer from another band it was a blues band and they came saying that first I knew Brian and then I met Mick and Keith and Mick was a singer with choice, he had about four singers who rotated whoever was available, rude, that's how it was like first I met them and I guess it was a while and then they just asked me to join the shy jazz obsessed.

Charlie Watts turned out to be the perfect match wherever they went and at first you traveled a lot. They are ambitious. The 19-year-old manager, Andrew Oldham, was grooming his scruffy protégés to be the opposite of the familiar Beatles. He set out to ensure that they were hated by the older generations to preserve their popularity among the young. According to legend, it was Andrew who came up with it. the phrase would you let your sister go? with a

stone that became a magazine headline; concerts frequently erupted into violence at a concert in Blackpool. Bill Wyman recalls that a gang of drunken Scots forced their way to the front and began spitting at him.

After ignoring warnings to stop, Keith allegedly kicked one of them in the head. Things also got ugly at a concert in Holland in October, where fans threw debris and smashed seats before ambulances arrived to take away the injured. The problems at the concerts angered the authorities and incurred tabloid defamation. The Daily Mirror stated that these artists are a threat to law and order and that as a result of their vocal laryngitis and cranial skin formula, the police deviates from bank robberies, murders, and other forms of mayhem to quell mob violence. that they generate just as Andrew Oldham had predicted, the bad press only fueled their popularity among disadvantaged young people and on the eve of their second tour of the United States they received an award from the British magazine Melody Maker Sydney's mascot The airport and teenagers are working to give Rolling Stone's prop group an even more frenetic and messy welcome than the one they gave the Beatles just six months ago, the climax arriving is the big comeback somewhere in between their grueling touring schedule that the saw them perform more than 200 concerts around the world in one year, the Stones found time to release hits such as a cover of Willie Dixon's Little Red Rooster and Dime, written by Mick and Keith, their second album, the number two on the Rolling Stones.

Stones went to number one in the UK and in June '65 they scored their first international number one with the song "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", it spent four weeks at the top of the US singles charts and confirmed the band as a world-class group, although it was the most popular just when the Rolling Stones were reaching their peak in terms. of popularity and critical success, things were starting to go wrong internally, although Mick was the undisputed leader of the band, Brian Jones had always been considered the leader, not only had he given his name to the Rolling Stones, but he continued to dictate managing the band and making business decisions together with Andrew Oldham Rolling Stone magazine once wrote if Keith and Mick with a mind and body of

.

She seemed to feel like she was losing control of his beloved creation. Photographer Jared Mankiewicz, who worked closely with the Stones from 1965 to 1967, remembers one particularly complicated session. but Brian Jones was being quite difficult, lurking in the collar of his big brown fur coat, hiding and burying himself in a newspaper he brought with him and I was really worried that he was going to ruin the photos. and I told Andrew I'm worried about Brian Jarrod mankiewicz wasn't the only one, it's fair to say that by the age of 22 Brian had already lost control of his personal life having fathered five children by five different women in June 1965 His on-again, off-again girlfriend Linda Lawrence finally left him and the mother of his third child hit him with a paternity suit. 1967 began with the release of between the buttons and is single, let's spend the night together, which carefully reinforced the

stones

. rebellious image just before the famous Redlands drug bust that finally gave the establishment the chance to get revenge on pop's bad boys by acting on a world news tip: West Sussex police raid a party at the Keith's house.

In West Wittering, the story goes that when the police arrived around 7:30 on Sunday afternoon, Marianne Faithfull, Nick's girlfriend, was sitting between two men on the sofa dressed only in a front door mat, Mick He was arrested and charged with illegal possession and settlement. tablets, while Keith was accused of allowing his premises to be used for smoking Indian hemp, but if things were looking bleak for them and his partner accused Robert Fraser, poor Brian was worse off after passing his 25th birthday at the hospital. The relationship with Anita Pallenberg had ended when Keith took Anita to Spain on the day of Mick and Keith's indictment in T Chester Brian and his friend print Stan's Lascaux tease ki were arrested for drug possession after a raid in Brian's apartment revealed prescription hashish pills and traces of cocaine, while Brian confessed to smoking marijuana, denying using anything stronger, whether he was telling the truth or not.

Brian's claim was supported by Jared Mankiewicz's observation. The bravest aspects of touring. The sexier druggy aspects of touring actually weren't very common. I mean there weren't a lot of drugs around, there was some alcohol, it was a bit of mass that was actually kind of heavy and if it was, it stayed very much in the background, I wasn't really aware of it at all. Brian was to be sentenced to a nervous weight while his bandmates at the first trial was mixed after a morning in court Nick and Robert Fraser were quite hungry they recorded a prawn cocktail, roast lamb with mint sauce topped with fresh strawberries and cream while Robert enjoyed an ice lunch. melon salad, salmon and fresh fruit, each of them accompanied their meals with half a bottle of Beaujolais at 10 Bob each.

The wine may have helped soften the blow of being found guilty and slapped with a three-month sentence. Keith ended up getting a year in prison. At one point, the establishment had warned the Stones that their honeymoon was over, however, the following month they were released after an appeal and at a subsequent press conference, Mick shed the model label. to follow that the press seems so eager to at

tribute

to pop stars. I'm not quite sure if these are as great possibilities as they think, because I think that individuals really make their own decisions more than people believe that they don't really follow, isn't it just as important to know if the status of Fuzz Paul McCartney, If all the Beatles fans in the world followed Paul McCartney, they would have simply taken acid, which I'm sure is not the case.

He rejected the idea of ​​using his celebrity to push any kind of political or social agenda. I have never done that in any way, for anything, for religion, for drugs, for politics, for anything, because I do not consider myself a sufficiently informed or responsible enough leader and he did not seem to regret it when asked if he approved of drug use privately, it's against the law, you know, that's not necessary, I mean, at one point not too long ago in the judicial history of this country it was illegal to commit such attempted suicide and some of the people who assisted in the suicide They were imprisoned, I think looking back.

It seems quite barbaric nor and in a moment we could look back at this set of laws consider them in the same way that we would mix them without showing signs of remorse following his brush with the law it was necessary to give another example to the next It was Brian's turn , pleaded guilty to allowing drug use in his South Kensington flat, giving evidence he admitted that he had used drugs in the past to some extent, but went on to say that he has now decided to have absolutely nothing to do with Les told that they had only caused him problems in the past and disrupted his career.

Brian was sentenced to nine months for possession of cannabis although his sentence was commuted to three years probation upon appeal, his conviction was upheld and he was ordered to seek immediate help just to rub things together Keith was now living with his ex and Mick, who was enjoying a high-profile romance with Marianne Faithfull for starting to flex his muscles within the band one day when we were doing the Majesties satanic nic in front of I came up with another photographer in tow and announced to him Andrew that this guy was going to do the new cover and this is what was going to happen and I knew that was it.

I packed my bags and that was it, Brian. Time only made sporadic contributions to the music, but that didn't stop the Stones from topping the charts again with Beggars Banquet, which spawned mega hits like Jumpin Jack, Flash Street Fighting Man and Sympathy for the Devil, but only a week after the quite Messy release of the Beggars Banquet Brian was in big trouble again after a raid on his rented apartment in Chelsea. He was sent on another charge of cannabis possession when he was found guilty in September even though he was already on probation. Judge Seaton refused to send him to jail and instead urged him to give up drugs even though the judges were merciful that the second conviction ended any chance of Brian getting a visa for a US tour.

USA to promote the beggars banquet things were coming to a head just as manufacturer Marianne broke the law again they were arrested for possession of cannabis resin when police raided their home in Chain Walk while they awaited their day in court , the time had come. To deal with a more significant obstacle to the band's progress, Brian, who was burning out quickly with his declining health, inability to speak, and lack of musical contribution to the band, let them know where to go and after mixing , Keith and Charlie headed to their farm to break the barrier. news Brian agreed to retire and announced that the Stones' music was no longer to his taste and that the only solution was to go their separate ways without even a grace period to let the dust settle on that announcement, the band immediately prepared a photo .

Shoot to bring out their new guitarist Mick Taylor about to join the Rolling Stones Roger, I'm very happy to join. You know that good things are going to go very well when we start working just like the soul of the Rolling Stones had. It was removed and replaced and it was business as usual Three weeks later, Brian Jones lay dead at the bottom of a swimming pool at his home in Sussex after spending the night drinking and watching television, he and three friends had gone swimming. Brian was turned on. his in the pool andWhen one of the women returned to check on Brian, who suffered from asthma, she found him motionless underwater.

Attempts to revive him failed and he was pronounced dead shortly before 1:00 a.m. m. on July 3, 1969. The coroner declared death from drowning and liver degeneration after an autopsy revealed that he had been suffering from pleurisy and an enlarged heart at the time of his death, while there have been many conspiracy theories in surrounding the death of Brian Jones. Bill Wyman remains convinced it was an accident. and that Brian himself would not have been surprised by his passing, remember that when Keith Richards once predicted that he would never turn 30, Brian's simple response was: I know, with a free Rolling Stones concert scheduled in Hyde Park two days Afterwards, the press was awash with speculation. that the show would be canceled out of respect for Brian, that the concert was held as a

tribute

to the dead guitarist, more than a quarter of a million fans gathered for once peacefully to hear Mick give a short speech and then read an excerpt of Adonai by Shelley.

In praise of Brian, the band played for an hour in the sweltering heat and as quietly as they had arrived, the crowd respectfully melted after that tribute. Mick stayed true to the spirit of the band's name and continued playing at the time. Brian's coffin was carried to its final resting place in Cheltenham, five days later he had left the country to star in the Ned Kelly film, leaving other band members mourning a groundbreaking artist whose death made him a founding member of the elite 27. club of musicians who died at the age of 27 while things were going badly for Mick and Marianne their relationship had been deteriorating since Marianne had aborted her daughter the previous year and shortly after arriving in Sydney fell into a coma following a suspected massive accident. overdose of barbiturates, although he eventually recovered, their relationship did not increase tensions with the events at the Altamont Speedway in Northern California at the end of the year the infamous free concert ended in disaster the 300,000 people who attended were terrorized by the Hells Angels who were hired as security guards for $500 worth of beer and then, while the Stones were playing, a young fan who had pulled out a gun was stabbed and kicked to death by one of the bikers in four views of the stage, the Stones were forced to continue with his submission to be able to avoid a full-scale riot, matters were not helped by the couple's further trips to court the following year, resulting in Mick being fined £200 for possession of cannabis.

In 1971, everything ended with Maryann and after a brief affair with Marcia Hunt he had a daughter. Mick became engaged to his Nicaraguan model lookalike Bianca Perez, according to Bianca, the striking resemblance certainly didn't go unnoticed by Mick, who felt like she was looking in a mirror when they met. She was later quoted as saying: I want to be honest, Mick wanted to achieve the ultimate in sexual experience by making love to himself. In May 1971, he chartered a plane to take guests to his wedding in San Tropez. The guest list read like a who's who of the British pop scene and included Ron Wood.

Ronnie Lane and Kenny Jones to the faces Ringo Starr Paul McCartney and Paul's wife Linda, what was intended to be a low-key affair turned into a three-ring circus as soon as the media learned of the planned venue, ever mindful of the benefits of keeping things sweet with the press Mick was diplomatic in his attempts to scare away the hordes. I love you, people starting a pilot. He tried again in French, but they were going nowhere. Pathetically preferred after making it through the ceremony in the 17th century Catholic chapel the frenzy continued outside commenting on Mick's wedding to the beautiful Bianca Keith supposedly said the devil certainly looks out for his own the wedding marked the beginning of Mick's famous tax exile.

The Rolling Stones after recording and releasing sticky fingers on their own record label the band moved to the south of France on the advice of their accountants, staying in Keith's rented villa and recording in the basement. The resulting album, Exile on Main Street, is now generally regarded as one of their best, however the 1970s also brought disputes with an American manager and the growing drug problems within the band were also deepening, especially for Keith , who was amassing an impressive collection of arrest warrants. The resulting visa restrictions made planning tours increasingly a logistical nightmare amid such frustrations.

Mick Taylor resigned and was replaced by Ron Wood, who immediately took a liking to Keith and seemed able to cope with his excesses, although no one was able to keep him on the straight and narrow, in 1976 Keith crashed his Bentley on a motorway and emerged unharmed, but at Newport Pagnell police station after the accident. His jacket pocket was found to contain a small amount of drugs. Keith was fined £1,000, but that was just a warm-up for the big fine in Toronto. The following month, he and Anita were arrested for possession of 22 grams of heroin. accused of importing narcotics into Canada, which carried a minimum sentence of seven years upon conviction, he was remanded in custody on $1,000 bail and, as the case dragged on, it seemed almost certain that Keith would end up going down, he came out quite a bit He did well with his suspended sentence and was ordered to give two free concerts for the Canadian National Institute of the Blind in Ontario, but at the end of the ordeal he was finally ready to give up drugs.

As Keith became more sober, he began to exert more control in the studio. Causing tension with Mick, relations within the band reached a nadir in the mid-1980s, when Mickey embarked on a solo career and toured alone, although he was quick to dismiss rumors of a split. Well, I think the Rolling Stones are a wonderful institution, it's kind of nice and nice. It's an English country house that leaks a little bit, but people still want to see it and I think Rolling Stone will move on. I hope they do. I hope they keep making more records and touring again, but right now this is what I want.

I'm doing this year at the tender age of 45, I was already answering questions about when I could give away the tight pants and loud guitars. I don't know, I'm pushing the limits here, it's never been taken this far before, but while Mick he may have enjoyed having his cake and eating it. Keith referred to this period of their relationship as World War III and has publicly disparaged the mixed solo output which has never been particularly well received by critics, yet 20 years later, on the eve of releasing his best old album, Do click, remains defiantly proud of his solo efforts, first of all, you know you have to be satisfied with everything you do, you have to be satisfied with yourself, you know, and then when you play for other people, you want everyone to your friends like it. and then you want the critics to like coming in and you know the same thing you want the general public to like and I think you know, I think you have, a lot of times you have good success with yourself and good success with the public.

Honest critics don't like things and you and any kind of you know you can tell you find out the reason why they liked it or they are very prejudiced or you know they don't like you anyway and they realize it. Good opportunity to have a boy, but you know, I'm very happy and I hope people like this collection so they don't get left behind. Keith released his own album in the '80s called Talk Is Cheap, which went gold in the US and garnered mostly positive reviews. While Keith and Mick were at war and little was happening musically with the band, it was Bill Wyman, 52, who stole the headlines by marrying one-year-old Mandy Smith, she is young enough to be his granddaughter, he will get paid her pension when she is there.

She was only 32 years old, but the wheel has come full circle for the rebels of the sixties, their marriage blessing could not have been more traditional, the child bride and her husband wanted the entire establishment to get Mandy she was only 13 years old when she They met and a courtship had caused a scandal. a few columns along the way but we finally managed to mix the lady up. I gave them the go-ahead, I wish them luck. I think it's a very good idea to get married. Charlie Watts, however, was less optimistic. I don't mind going back.

I said I'm happy to know it. Phil, who sits in the number. 10 on Maxim magazine's list of living sex legends for allegedly sleeping with a thousand women, his sins admitted that his marriage to Mandy, which ended in divorce in 1991 as a result of his midlife crisis, finally came to terms with the aging process, two years later he announced his I am retiring from the Rolling Stones and we are still great friends. I still say them and chat about the budget. I just don't want to do it anymore. I've done enough like 30 years and then it was four while Bill was replaced at the base. by Darryl Jones Mick Keith Charlie and Ronnie have remained the main members of the band and faced the press together before their post-apartheid tour of South Africa in 1995 to promote the Voodoo Lounge album.

In 1998 they finally managed to catch the tour bus to Moscow. At a press conference, Mick explained that they had been trying to get permission to play there for 40 years and, although many of their Russian fans would have preferred to greet their heroes in their heyday, they were still very welcoming to their wrinkled rockers, while the Rolling Stones were playing to packed stadiums in Russia Phil with his new team The Rhythm Kings were going back to their roots and playing Rhythm and Blues in small clubs, the point is that with the Rhythm Kings there is no limit to what we can tackle any style of any style. any era with the talent of musicians and singers, I have gotten the band there, from reggae blues to jazz and country rock, I mean country blues, rock and jump music, reggae.

I've said it's just a complete mix and early rock and roll. Bill wasn't the only old man feeling homesick on the eve of his 60th birthday. Charlie had the luxury of bringing together ten of Britain's best jazz musicians to play a series of concerts at London's premier jazz venue. Ronnie Scott isn't known for being talkative, he did. I have a few words to spare on the topic of aging. I am very happy with the lovely 6 level choir b17. When Mix turned sixty in 2003, he and the rest of the band were invited to celebrate at the British Embassy in Prague. in the Czech capital to show off in front of 60,000 fans at Prague's national stadium as part of their forty-lick tour, although they were still going strong after more than 40 years of playing together.

Mick had to admit there weren't enough screaming female fans like there used to be, they were all men's choices as every man I met one who says they left all the girls at home or what I don't know we usually wear a wick or pieces of underwear in the bean. station last night as a few fronts and but anyway, the 40th birthday celebrations also included the release of their fourth film on DVD with such a long career behind them, there was no shortage of added extras, yeah, lots of stuff like you were there , You know? So no, but yeah, I know there's a lot of stuff going on backstage, but there's also three shows and you know, a

documentary

, a bootleg type documentary and some old stuff, a little bit of everything.

Keith seemed to be having a bit. difficulty understanding all the new technology in his 60 year old's head. Actually yeah, I'm not like that with clients, so I'm still learning, but a DVD is great. Apparently I'm learning something that wasn't great until now. As far as Keith was concerned, it was a mixed decision to accept the offer of a knighthood in reaction to the news that Cletus reported having made it known that he didn't fancy going on stage with someone wearing a crown and sporting the old ermine and He said it wasn't like that. What the kicker is about is that many of the band's plans were also disappointed with Mick's apparent abandonment of the anti-establishment stance that had brought him fame and fortune, but Sir Mick seemed unfazed by the criticism when his chauffeur-driven limousine He stopped in front. from Buckingham Palace to accept what Keith had described as his bloody poultry honor after he turned up suitably gentrified, it was wonderfully formal and two wonderful outfits in those, all of them, there's what's quite good, it's like there were all represented from all parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. and in all walks of life, from historians to beekeepers, they rather create a small trace of the ancient anarchy;

However, he stood by the fact that he had made her Majesty wait 18 months before appearing to accept the honor in the company of his 92-year-old son. Father Joe and two daughters, well, I've been to two, you know, I picked the dateconvenient for me and the palace would have been very understanding of that and I'm sure they are with many other people, not everyone can appear on the The first one I've been on tour so it was the first day that was good for me, already that my whole family could be here. I chose to leave Richards' complaint.

His response was: I think he's a bit like a boring kid who doesn't have the ice in him. cream, but you can never say that the submit' has suffered much from self-doubt, well, you know what you usually do when you make the initial stage presentations that earned him the title of best leader in the world. are a testament to his supreme confidence not only as an artist but also in his private life over the years, his famous conquests have included Carly Simon, Chrissie Shrimpton and former Brazilian model Luciana Jiménez Murad since his split from Jerry Hall in a late '90s co-ed pawn shop for companies larger than -Lovers of life have led him into the arms of six-foot-four-inch model Lorenz Scott, despite having seven children with four women, he's only been to the altar twice while working on the soundtrack for the 2004 remake of the '60s classic.

The journalist was asked if I saw similarities between him and the womanizing, commitment-phobic main character, there's Alvin, all the women, all the men; now I think you know Alfie, this handsome young man you know and whatever. I think the idea at the beginning of the picture is that you know he is Why shouldn't he have a lot of girlfriends? It seems perfectly natural that he has them because they all do whatever, but from time to time it is quite funny how he treats them and some because only a little later you realize when that attracts you to the image that you feel, then you see the problems and that creates a lot, but you know he's a guy who has a lot of girlfriends, a lot of affairs, but he doesn't have much else to do and he doesn't know that he drives a car/repetitive job he really has no interest in anything else he's not interested in anything as far as I can he is fine on the set of the photo seducing better, the same certainly can't be said for Nick, as well as acting in a few films over the years and writing the old soundtrack, he also owns his own production company Jagged Films, although Vic has been criticized in the past for not lending his fame to humanitarian causes, he recently did his bit by dipping into his reported fortune of £200 million to finance a pop video to raise awareness of the dire situation. in Darfur in Sudan, all you can do in a very small wave of your celebrity and some of these things is keep the issue at the front of the agenda if it stays on the public agenda, it stays on the agenda. political agenda as much as possible, then there's his solo work, after over 30 years of mining songs from his various solo projects and soundtracks, he finally sat down to make sense of them in a 17-song collection called The Best of Mick Jagger, the process made him quite sentimental, well I guess you're always attached to the beginnings of your career when you're very young in many ways and you know that when you're young, a lot of things happened very quickly and sort of slipped away. in this very small period of time, but a lot happened, his best solo album included collaborations with John Lennon and his daughter Karis, proving that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

He even learned a thing or two from Lenny Kravitz. He had this house in Miami, so It's so when I found out we were going to travel together and I went to the studio and he was like, this is it and I said yeah, okay, then put me in, this sinister track is completing the track, it's all of him interpreting all of him. Playing drums but there's no vocals and this is like that, well I thought we were going to write something so yeah we might have to write the lyrics and sing the songs you know so he completely finished it and no We were able to ride.

It's a very strange way of doing it that actually worked and in the end it was fantastic, however there can be no doubt about the mix's first love since that first night at the Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, its spiritual home has been the setting, you know? I was lucky enough to have a lot of energy since I was a kid and, you know, be very active and my parents always encouraged me and kept me in good shape and stuff, and I've always been very energetic and I thought I don't think, you know. , that I would feel bad about doing a show if I wasn't really in a position to put it on.

His raspy voice and freewheeling performance style have been ridiculed and parodied countless times over the past 40 years. but no other singer has come close to matching his ability to bring packed stadiums to their feet and keep them there for more than two hours. What makes you feel good for me is being interested in what I'm doing and really excited about touring. going on stage and what also makes it work for me is the audience and how they respond etc. and you know, that's what the energy between the two of them is what really makes it and now on the first show of their tour 2005, please.

Welcome to Rolling Soul in 2005 Mick and the rest of the band were in Boston to kick off the Stones' Big Bang tour to a packed house at Fenway Park. I may not have experienced the crowds of Boston the first time, but after 30-something years in the band. Ron would have understood what kept both the Rolling Stones and their fans coming back for more. I can't just give them the pleasure and feel the adrenaline of the audience and they also feel it from us. He's great, he's a great buzz. He supports you. Young, the two-hour show loaded with Rolling Stones classics like honky tonk woman brown sugar and sympathy for the devil also included some tracks from the larger album that accompanies the tour.

Mick described the sound of the album as a good mix of old rock and new music. Yes, we will definitely integrate all our new songs into the new album we are going to release, which is very vibrant and very contemporary, but at the same time hard-hitting and classic. Rolling Stone gave them its catalog of several hundred songs sprinkled with new songs. endless options for the 35-date US tour, which also included Canada and Argentina, fantastic fans in Argentina, a brilliant, loud, masculine, loud, petite, loving Suzie Aston, yes, and lots of them, and we're very happy to go there, the South American calendar also included Brazil, where they invited equally enthusiastic fans to a free concert that closed Copacabana beach, but it's been fascinating to look around the area for the night you've been watching the boys set up the stage and lights together during the day when people move.

It's become an incredible sight, you know, especially from the drive up there, you know they'll. I hope we can handle it, you know, just like so much action, you know there are ships and planes, I love them, I energize the people in the street by playing the samba band. You know, those people in costumes, there's a lot of noise and very big drums, it's a good time, people are still as we speak and they keep coming in, so we don't know that no one is coming, there will be a lot of people at dusk. More than a million fans floated onto the beach and when asked what inspired them to put on the free concert, all that Latin passion was clearly rubbing off on Charlie and the women with nothing, old Harvey Ivy, nothing obvious at all, It also included the band's first concert. concert in mainland China the newly cashed fans in Shanghai were happy to hand over around three hundred and seventy five US dollars for a ticket this is the Rolling Stones' first concert in China it is very significant I know that the Stones have wanted to play in China for a time, but it is also a symbol of what is happening in China.

China is opening up to the world on the bridge between the international side and China. Now in early 2006 the band took a break before embarking on the European leg of the mega big bang tour while in the southern hemisphere Keith took the opportunity to spend some time on the beach in Fiji with his wife Patty, for reasons that have never been explained, was attempting to climb a palm tree when she fell and landed. The initial report from his boss said he had only suffered a minor concussion, but after being airlifted to a hospital in New Zealand he ended up having to undergo cranial surgery.

Fans gathered outside the hospital were worried that years of hard partying had finally caught up with the man who was once said that if there was ever a nuclear holocaust only two things would survive cockroaches and Keith Richards turned out to be just another chapter of a story that seems to contain both myth and reality one of the most famous claims made about Keith was that he received a whole blood transfusion that has a cure for heroin addiction in 1973. He has since admitted to spreading that rumor. Another more recent headline stated that Keith had mixed his father's cremated remains with some cocaine in what he can.

His manager later explained that Keith's anecdote had been considered a joke, however, he later confirmed to Mojo magazine. that he had indeed snorted his father's ashes, but that he cut them like cocaine, not with his back aboard the Bigger Car, although six weeks late, he was still telling jokes at an Italian press conference. They turned me off like a light, you know, but I remember making the decision to go ahead and do it. Know? I was surprised too. the ceiling at the idea, a breakthrough, you know, but I had complete confidence in you and you had to do it, you have to do it and I woke up.

I was angry when they woke me up because I was now sleeping very well even though it looked like I could still use a nice long lie. He really wanted to get back to the show. I feel great. I can't wait to get back on stage. You know, basically, everything's okay for once. However, his timing was a little off. left with his bandmates on stage just as Keith was getting better Ron announced he was going to rehab for a while to deal with alcohol problems while Mick succumbs to a bout of laryngitis which forced even more shows to be cancelled, luckily everyone was back on stage in shape on time. so that the cameras began to record the documentary of his concert at the Beacon Theater in New York when it came to choosing a director there was only one real candidate he has a lot of our music insidious films that they handle as if they made a father that no one you know before that we grew up with Stones songs as the soundtrack of our own lives.

Martin Scorsese admitted that he dominated a lot of the band, so for me the sound of the music, the chords, the vogelson are the whole. I feel the music. He inspired me a lot, and while he was, I can't say if it became the basis for most of the work I've done on mine. I'll start from Mean Streets even earlier, but from Main Street I'm going through Raging Bull all the way up. in the casino and the endgame, although Mick originally wanted to film a much larger concert, Marty sold him on the idea of ​​bringing the cameras into the much more up-close and personal atmosphere of the theater geek I'm watching.

It's just for the sheer beauty of the performance and that's the idea, it's something I would like to capture for people in the future to see and experience and don't forget that the cameras were placed in positions that the audience normally can't reach. Watch The Idea Film, which also captured mixed duets with Christina Aguilera, Jack White and legendary blues guitarist Buddy Guy, received a big thumbs up from Ronnie Wood. You really feel like you're there, you know it on stage and it's quite an experience for us. In fact, we all saw it together in Berlin and thought we hadn't seen it in its entirety.

It was pretty good. You know, I enjoyed it at the film's premiere in Berlin. Keith confessed that everything had gone so well that he hadn't even realized. the cameras this is not acting this is me doing my thing and thank god in one to capture it because I mean I had no idea the cameras were on I guess through my pen so what comes out is what It is not, but it is adverse. to a bit of acting when the opportunity presents itself, as he did when he was invited to play Johnny Depp's father in Pirates of the Caribbean at World's End.

That appearance earned him best celebrity cameo at the 2007 Spike Horror Awards, since then he has fielded many other acting offers, but so far nothing has tempted him: returning to his headline gig and rehearsals for the final European leg of his record-breaking Big Bang tour and, after 45 years of touring the world, the prospect of getting back on that bus. It hadn't lost any of its appeal to Charlie, who loves to play, we had such a good time for years and up there with Dobby in the room and at two in the morning like you're putting on a big show, it's more like a strange hobby. um in a funny way, it's very strange because you live for the next show, which could be the next day, so all the time you're building and in that way it's kind of a bit like a sport in thesport because you're exercising for, you know, you know, you practice, you run, you know, you play the song, you know why, but then the natural thing is only two hours and when it's over, it's over and then you go, you're looking for the next one and you go back and you you move, you know, so that everything is oriented to those two hours, in the next place, you know, I will show the travel program, so that you know what it was, you realize that that is the way it is and according to their fans they have not yet peaked as they get older they get better without any shadow without them they get better like all of us we get older we get better they get better best band you ever knew look at the Cowboys baby greatest rational handicap best rock band and roll of the world, who else, the stones, but now that even the youngest member is past 60, how long can the stones realistically keep

rolling

until we fall?

I'm still there, going from 1 to 70 I'll do it in a wheelchair so ah this way my whole life is happy now while they continue to receive criticism so one day the time will come to think about retiring well I'm sure they will but I'm not I'm actually still enjoying what I'm doing, that would be great. I don't really care when I'll stop and the legacy of a Rolling Stones musician or a minstrel appearance is the best you can have in it, it still is. he passed it to you
