Cleverly marketed by their original manager as the bad boys of rock, the
Rolling Stones have survived dalliances with the devil, drug busts, and
the death of founding member Brian Jones to become the world's
longest-running rock and roll band. Led by partners-in-crime Mick Jagger
and Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones have had No. 1 hits, released
classic albums, broken box office records, and literally changed the
world. All too often, however, books on the Rolling Stones glimmer with
gossip instead of shimmering with facts about the band's music. The
Rolling Stones FAQ presents these musical facts in a fast-moving,
fan-friendly read. The five incarnations of the Rolling Stones are
highlighted with in-depth explorations of the band's hit records,
albums, films, and tours. The band's story is told not only through the
biographies of the eight men to each be called a Rolling Stone, but also
through the stories of session men, producers, managers, artists,
girlfriends, and wives who have contributed to the enduring, yet
controversial, success of the Rolling Stones.
