The Rolling Stones are a long running (since 1963) British rock 'n roll band, best known for their rebellious image and hits like "Satisfaction" (1965), "Paint It, Black" (1966), "Sympathy For The Devil" (1968) and "Angie" (1973).
Connections and references
Zappa preferred The Rolling Stones over The Beatles because The Stones were more inspired by blues songs.
Mick Jagger once visited Zappa during the 1960s in his log cabin and helped him to pull a wooden splinter from his toe.
Zappa liked their album At Their Satanic Majesties' Request. When he told Brian Jones how great this album was the man just belched and walked by.
Played Paint It Black on Star Special radio show in 1980.
Keith Richards is interviewed in Ein Leben Als Extravaganza - Das Genie Frank Zappa.
Quote
The success of the British groups forced a change in the way new American groups were put
together. They now had to be self-contained, because every bar that hired live music wanted its own
little U.S. version of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.
