THE STONES Had Their 19th Nervous Breakdown This Day In 1966

Top singles from the past

4 February 2024

58 years ago today, on 4 February 1966, THE ROLLING STONES
released 19TH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. One of their best-ever
masterstrokes in my book. It peaked at #2 in the UK and in the US

Mick Jagger: “It’s a song about things that are happening around
me,everyday life as I see it. People say I’m always singing about pills
and breakdowns, therefore I must be an addict – this is ridiculous.
Some people are so narrow-minded they won’t admit to themselves
that this really does happen to other people besides pop stars.”

“You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown”

Happy 75 To Guitar Virtuoso And Former Rolling Stone MICK TAYLOR – Watch Him Play On DEAD FLOWERS In 1971

Posted on by JL

17 January 2024

MICK TAYLOR was born on 17 January 1949
in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.

Happy 75 to a genuine guitar virtuoso.

He started his career with John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers replacing the late
legend Peter Green who started another iconic blues band Fleetwood Mac.

In 1966 he left the Bluesbreakers and joined The Rolling Stones 3 years later,
aged only 20, replacing the deceased Brian Jones. He played on 3 classic LPs,
Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St.

He also worked with other big artists such as Bob Dylan, Mike Oldfield, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Jack Bruce and Ronnie Wood who replaced Taylor in The Stones in 1974.

Here’s a stunning example of his remarkable guitar skills when playing at the
legendary Marquee Club in London performing The Stones’ Dead Flowers in 1971.

Happy 80 To The Human Riff KEITH RICHARDS

18 December 2023

If you had said in the 60s/70s that the then heroine hooked Rolling Stone guitarist
KEITH RICHARDS would reach the age of 80 and would still make music at that age
they would have put you away in a psychiatric institution. Yes, the human riff celebrates
his 80th birthday today. He was born in Dartford, Kent, England on 18 December 1943. Happy B! It’s only rock ‘n’ roll but Richards still likes it, yes he does.

Keith is HAPPY

THE ROLLING STONES – Classic Album ‘BEGGARS BANQUET’ Came Out 45 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

Back in time

8 December 2023

THE ROLLING STONES released their 7th British
and 9th American studio LP, titled BEGGARS BANQUET
45 years ago today, on 6 December 2023.

TIME Magazine UK said: “England’s most subversive roisterers since Fagin’s
gang in ‘Oliver Twist’. In keeping with a widespread mood in the pop world, Beggars
Banquet turns back to the raw vitality of Negro R&B and the authentic simplicity of
country music.”

TUTV: If someone had said back then, 55 years ago, that The Rolling Stones
would still be around today – new album Hackney Diamonds just out – he
would have been locked up in a psychiatric hospital.
