Hi! This blog is to get to know famous rock bands, and I wanted to start with The Rolling Stones which is my favorite.
The band was formed in London,1962 by Mick Jagger(lead vocalist) and Keith Richards(guitar and back vocalist). The other members are Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood. They make music in blues and rock. The band has so many awards and nominations, like the best rock album, best traditional music album, and best live band. Their most famous song, “Paint it, black” has an interesting story. In the 18th century, sporting house’s doors were painted to red. A man who loved a woman from that house did not save the woman and caused her to die. That’s why in this song there are lyrics like “I see my red door and I must have it painted black”
Let us learn their other one of the famous song “Gimme Shelter”‘s story. There were Vietnam War in those years and the band wanted to give a free concert to cheer people up. However, in this concert, many fights were outbroken because of a stampede. Even there were dead people. “War, children, it’s just a shot away”
Their other most known songs are Angie, sympathy for the devil, wild horses, brown sugar, beast of burden… Rolling Stones was always in the top 10, among the most famous rock bands. I definitely suggest you to listen their at least one song.
