About The Rolling Stones

 
The group’s characteristic rock style incorporating elements of various genres such as blues, rhythm blues, blues rock and rock n roll, brought significant international recognition to the typical early blues sound such as that of Muddy Waters, who wrote the song Rollin’ Stone, which is what the band was named after.  Their roots in such traditional trends has brought them much critical acclaim while setting their utterly distinctive identity; musicologist and critic Robert Palmer has noted that their relevance and long endurance comes from their being rooted in soul music, traditional verities and rhythm-and-blues, whereas the more fleeting pop fashions have arrived and left in no time. The Rolling Stones tickets are a total must-have among a variety of rock lovers, who can never celebrate enough, their outstanding contributions to the development and face of music today.
 
The Rolling Stones were formed in 1962 in London, with their first lineup comprising of Brian Jones as harmonica-player and guitarist; Ian Stewart as pianist and keyboardist; Mick Jagger as harmonica player and lead vocalist; Keith Richards as guitarist and vocalist; Bill Wyman as bassist; and Charlie Watts as drummer. Wyman retired from the group in 1993, since which time the band’s full-time members have been guitarist Ronnie Wood who entered in 1975, Richards, Watts and Jagger. Their part-time members who have been performing with them on occasion for decades include keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bassist Darryl Jones.  In 1989, the band was welcomed into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where it was noted that they had been accorded the title of World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Group through popular consensus and critical acclaim. They have been ranked by Rolling Stone magazine in their list of Hundred Greatest Artists from All Time, where they were placed on the fourth spot, while their albums sales have been estimated to be more than two hundred million across the world.  
 
The Rolling Stones have been noted as crucial to the development of modern pop music since they introduced the concept of mixing elements of other genres with their collective sound.  Their musical contributions made throughout their career include continual reliance and reference on musical styles such as country, reggae, folk, dance world music and blues, which have been illustrated by Jones collaborative works with Master Musician of Jajouka. Brian Jones has experimented using non-traditional instruments like the slide guitar and sitar in their early years. The band began by covering early day blues and rock n roll songs, and has not stopped recording or performing live cover songs.
