Parachute woman, land on me tonight
I'll break big in New Orleans
And I'll overspill in Caroline
Parachute woman, join me for a ride
Parachute woman, join me for a ride
I'll make my blow in Dallas
And get hot again in half the time
Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
Parachute woman, will you blow me out?
Well, my heavy throbbers itchin'
Just to lay a solo rhythm down
The stage was wide open for Mick, Ron, and Keith to 'strike the pose,' and to provide clear views of Charlie. Horn section, bass player (Darryl Jones), pianist, and at least two backup singers staged almost into the wings. I suppose we buy tickets to see those old guys ... and they were very, very good.
The Doors never had a bass player and they managed, so it can be done.
But in the Stones case they have used Darryl Jones ever since Wyman left; always for tours and for many/most studio recordings. Why he was never made an official Stone is something that you'll have to ask them.
maybe cause he'd be entitled to some royalties?
Looking at that picture over there and I'm like "Nobody's on bass..." --------------->
So Bill Wyman left the band in 1993, and they haven't had a bassist since? Forgive me if I haven't kept up on things.

Why don't they just have Mick play bass? He's not kidding anybody with that guitar in his hands.
Mick is not standing there using the guitar as a prop. He is indeed playing it live. He has played guitar since he was 14 which, as we all know, was over 60 years ago now. I'm guessing he picked up a little something along the way.
Mick Jagger is by no means a lead or regular guitar player. They have had Keith, Ron, Brian, and the other Mick for that role over the years. That said, Mick has played rhythm guitar on some of their greatest tracks. Including: Sway, Moonlight Mile, Fingerprint File, Tumbling Dice, and many more. His rhythm work has freed Keith and Ron to trade leads for decades. He is credited with some guitar work on every Stones album since Sticky Fingers except Dirty Work and Blue and Lonesome. 13 studio and many live albums worth.
So... better than you with more credited experience (in the Worlds Greatest Rock and Roll Band, no less) fwiw.
Also: You might be showing your a** in assuming that Bass guitar is something you just hand out to the least guitarist in a band. I think Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, John Entwhistle, Flea, Jaco Pastorious, John Paul Jones, Jack Bruce, Tony Levin, and soooo many more might just have an issue with that broad generalization.
Are you nuts? ; )

Sometimes I forget that it's all about you.

Yeah, I guess I should count my blessings.
It seems like he basically just walks around Chicago's north side & Wrigleyville these days frightening people. Occasionally, he heads up to a tea shop he owns in Highland Park and hangs out.
So you've got THAT going for you, which is nice.

I've never been out drinking with Billy Corgan.

I've never noticed that, but then I've never been out drinking with Billy Corgan.
Too bad radio did not play this back in the day.
they did in my area
not on AM
Early Stones..... I like.

What about "A day in the life" versus "Ruby Tuesday"...?
Back in the day it was Eleanor Rigby vs Ruby Tuesday.
The Stoned Beatles of course.
Best answer to a pointless question.
Today too, from the Soggy Bottom Boys.
The band that didn't quit because their women couldn't get along. I mean, seriously, man up guys. Maybe if they'd have defied their women, John wouldn't have disappeared thru the entire 70's and Paul wouldn't have put out Silly Love Songs while the Stones were putting out Memory Motel, Hot Stuff, and Crazy Mama. Maybe Paul wouldn't have been tickling the ivories doing crossover shlock with Stevie Wonder when the Stones were putting out Start Me Up, Worried About You, and Waiting On a Friend.
On a more serious note... this question is pointless but we all knew that because of the source.
The great irony surronding The Beatles is that they all preached, "love, love, love," but they couldn't forgive each other.
OK - if you demand, I stop the...trollin'!
Serious question now - from Europe
Who is better?
Cheney or Osama...?
Brennan or Edward "Lord" Snowden?
Yes, a "double-feature"!
If you know the correct answers, I will tell you if the STONES or the BEATLES were better!
Who is better?
BEATLES or STONES? - Possibly the most rediculous question ever asked - Rolling Stones by a country mile. How can you compare "Yellow Submarine" to 'Symapathy for the Devil "or similar.

Apples. No, oranges. No, apples.
Precisely.

BEATLES or STONES?
Its about opinions and personal taste.
All time: probably Bach
20th century pop/rock musicgroup?: The Beatles I would say. Generally a better quality.

Beggar's Banquet in my vinyl collection of the first seven albums and I AM definitely old enough! The English pressing has a date of 1968 on both record (what a lovely word!) and sleeve. Those were the days!
Who is better?
BEATLES or STONES?
Beatles - not.even.close.
The Stoned Beatles of course.
funny cus it's true.

Nice trollin' there. How about BEATLES and STONES?

Possibly the most ridiculous comparison ever made. You do know that Yellow Submarine was not the Beatles' only song, right?

Feeling the Stones more these days..no studio blah blah blah..get in there, bang it out and go get high.
The members of the band Crooked Still acknowledge that by covering the Rolling Stones' song "You Got the Silver" at the end of their album Some Strange Country, released in 2010.

...their laid-back, almost "country-ish" take on several other songs still seems fresh, and was certainly a precursor to the alt-country movement which still has some legs today.
They don't get enough credit for that. Certainly Gram Parson was an influence on them, but songs like Dead Flowers Honky Tonk Women were certainly influential on bands like Uncle Tupelo and Ryan Adams.
The Rolling Stones. Fifty Years.
Now, Prodigal Son or Factory Girl would actually crown the experience.
agreed—I really didn't appreciated Beggars when I first started listening to it (which was probably around 1978). But it sure has aged well. Besides the two "rock hits" (Sympathy & Street Fighting Man), their laid-back, almost "country-ish" take on several other songs still seems fresh, and was certainly a precursor to the alt-country movement which still has some legs today.
Oh yea, this period was their best. I love the Stones countrified!
The whole DVD is a must-see, even Yoko screeching away in perhaps the most unapologetically unlistenable moment in Rock & Roll history, if only to more fully appreciate why she was so universally despised by Beatles fans; at least one could accurately say, if nothing else, she didn't pander to the masses. (Sorry, that sentence ran on a bit.)

Not a bad one on my Beatles-day.

Now shadows of themselves going out on a high (hail Keith) is better than the image I have of them now...a faceless global organization like Coca Cola.
Maybe this band should have retired long ago, but that is immaterial to this song, which was released over 40 years ago.

You would NEVER "sell out" to be as big as a faceless global organization like Coca Cola. No need for all that wealth and fame. Really.... faceless?!? I've heard a lot of things said about Mick and Keith but, with mugs like those, faceless isn't one of them.

Yup! I love every cut, save for Sympathy For the Devil, it falling into the Layla/Stairway To Heaven/Freebird/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida category.

Been hearing that as Cashew Woman for 40 years. Now they tell me...
