Product Information
For 25 years Bill Wyman was the silent Stone , the quiet bass player in one of the world's greatest rock and roll bands. Whilst maintaining an unassuming image both on and off stage, Wyman also kept a diary; the resultant autobiography represents a note by note rendition of the Rolling Stones' tumultuous years. From the outset the Stones were cast as the bad boys of rock. Wyman recalls the Stones' years of apprenticeship as they evolved their tough sound under the leadership of R and B devotee Brian Jones, and describes in the hair-raising chaos and violence of their early tours. He is frank when describing the wildness and intricacies of the Stones' personal affairs, the dynamics of the musicians in and out of the studio, their scandalous legal problems, financial and management crises, conflicts over songwriting credits, the effects of drugs on their music and lives, and the circumstances leading up to Brian Jones' tragic death on the eve of the Stones' and Britain's biggest ever rock concert.Product Identifiers

Very apt title from one of the band that stood to one side as Mick, Brian and Keith made the headlines.
A most interesting read. I'm a big Stones fan, and have read many group biographies this is probably the best as it came from the inside.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Past Memories
I am 65 years old and this book brings back many fond memories of my teens growing up in an era ( the 60's) that will never be repeated or surpassed! The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are still my favorite bands. This book should be read by anyone who wants to know what a slice of that era was all about. Could not put the book down. Thanks BillVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
