Britisk rockgruppe, dannet 1962 af: Sangeren Michael Philip (Mick) Jagger (f.1943). Guitaristen Brian Jones (1942-69). Guitaristen Keith Richard (f. 1943. Basguitaristen Bill Wyman (f. 1941). Trommeslageren Charlie Watts (f. 1941).
Pladedebut 1963 med Chuck Berry-kompositionen Come On, kopierede derefter Lennon-McCartneys I Wanna Be Your Man og slog for alvor igennem med deres 3. og 4. single, Not Fade Away og It's All Over Now.
I starten var gruppens musik st�rkt pr�get af rhythm-and-blues, Chuck Berry, men rullestenene udviklede snart sin egen helt private , r� spillestil,. Jeg kan huske at kunne man li' Stones kunne man som regel ikke lide Beatles. Stones var de snuskede r� drenge mens Beatles var enhver mors dr�m om en svigers�n:-). Deres f�rste USA-hit blev Tell Me fra deres debutalbum, The Rolling Stones (1964); verdenshits blev fra 1965 bl.a. Jagger-Richard-kompositionerne The Last Time, Get Off of My Cloud, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It Black, Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow, Let's Spend the Night Together, Ruby Tuesday, We Love You, Jumping' Jack Flash, Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice, It's only Rock and Roll, Angie og Fool to Cry. Mick Jagger og Keith Richard stabiliserede i sommeren 1965 deres ry som sangskrivere med en aggressiv sang med seksuelle overtoner, Satisfaction, som blev gruppens afg�rende gennembrud i USA. Dens popularitet voksede st�t, efterh�nden som koncertsale og hoteller satte dem p� den sorte liste, og LP'erne fra denne periode, Out of Our Heads (1965), Aftermath (1966) og Between the Buttons (1967), blev store succes'er. 1967 blev Jagger, Richard og Jones arresteret for stofmisbrug; det resulterede bl.a. i flower-powersinglen We Love You og albummet Their Satanic Majesties' Request samme �r. 1968 kom LP'en Beggar's Banquet med vigtige kompositioner. 1969 forlod Brian Jones gruppen (han d�de kort tid efter) han blev erstattet af guitaristen Mick Taylor indtil 1974; sidstn�vnte afl�stes 1975 af Ron Wood. Rolling Stones fortsatte med fine LP'er som Let It Bleed (1969), Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out (1970), Sticky Fingers (1971), Exile on Main Street (1972), Goat's Head Soup (1973), It's Only Rock'n'Roll (1974), Black and Blue (1976), Love You Live (1977), Some Girls (1978), Emotional Rescue (1980), Tattoo You (1981), Still Life (1982), Undercover (1984), Dirty Work (1986), live-CD'en Flashpoint (1991) og CD#en Voodoo Lounge (1994), hvor Bill Wyman erstattes af bassisten Darryl Jones. Videofilm og koncertfilmene Gimme Shelter (1969) og Time Is on Our Side (1981).
In English:
Rolling Stones, The British rock group that rivaled the popularity of the group's early contemporaries, The Beatles. The group was formed in 1962 by Mick Jagger; Keith Richard; Brian Jones; William Wyman, who left the band in late 1992; and Charles Robert Watts, all born in England. Mick Taylor replaced Jones until 1975, when Ron Wood took his place.
The Rolling Stones' rough, raucous rock-and-roll sound, taken from U.S. rhythm-and-blues music and the group's irreverent performances contrasted with the Beatles' softer style and won The Rolling Stones a large following in both England and the United States. Such singles as �Time Is on My Side,� �Mother's Little Helper,� �Heart of Stone,� �Ruby Tuesday,� �Satisfaction,� and �Little Red Rooster� (which was deemed too sexually explicit for release in the United States) are typical of The Rolling Stones' uninhibited style. The group's performance style was captured in the film Gimme Shelter (1970); intended to document the group's popularity, the movie inadvertently recorded the killing of a spectator by members of the motorcycle gang Hell's Angels, who had been hired to provide security at a free Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Racetrack in California.
The Rolling Stones' many albums include Out of Their Heads (1965), Beggars Banquet (1968), Let It Bleed (1969), Gimme Shelter (1970), Exile on Main Street (1972), Some Girls (1978), and Undercover (1983). The Rolling Stones continued to perform and record throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. Individual band members also recorded solo albums from the 1960s through the 1990s.
