Rolling Stones Tour Dates - The Rolling Stones are an English rock band. Their early mission was to share their enthusiasm for rhythm and blues, but they were received as symbols and leaders of rebellious youth. The first settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones on guitar and harmonica, Ian Stewart on piano, Mick Jagger on lead vocals and harmonica, Keith Richards on guitar and backing vocals, Bill Wyman on bass and Charlie Watts on drums. Jones founded and led the band, but Jagger and Richards assumed leadership after becoming the primary songwriters. Jones' increasing physical and mental troubles forced his departure from the band two weeks prior to his drowning death in 1969. Since Wyman left to pursue other interests in 1993, full band members have been Jagger, Richards, Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood who joined in 1975, replacing Mick Taylor (who had followed Jones). The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the Rolling Stones in 1989. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them fourth on the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list and their album sales are estimated at more than 200 million worldwide.

A Few songs off of their debut:
Route 66: the guitars grunt, chug, and sting along well with Jagger's confident vocal, the band stop-starting dramatically during the bridge to add extra urgency.
Not Fade Away: While there had been a mild Bo Diddley influence in Holly's original the Stones really brought it out and amplified it, enough so that it almost sounded like a Bo Diddley song in their hands. They virtually attacked the acoustic guitar chords that serve as the song's foundation, particularly in the track's introduction, which consists of a dozen hastily played chords in a Bo Diddley beat. The group also made the song faster and more aggressive, adding a blues element in some harmonica licks that followed many of the vocal lines, as well as an economic slashing electric guitar solo in the instrumental break, where the harmonica really wails.
Lady Jane: an excellent, delicate love song that proved that the Stones were more versatile composers than many had suspected.
Lady Jane's most prominent riffs are played on a dulcimer, backed by an enchanting, slowly picked guitar figure. Combined with the stateliness of the melody and the introduction of a harpsichord into the arrangement fo much of the song, the atmosphere has justly been viewed as Elizabethan.
