Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

The groundbreaking reckoning with the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band from the award-winning, bestselling author of classic histories of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

A New York Times Most Anticipated Book of 2026

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN … THE ROLLING STONES

What left is there to say about the Stones?

A hell of a lot, it turns out . . .

You think you know the story? Think again. Shorn of dulling layers of myth and received wisdom, an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait emerges of a band who, after sixty years, continue to break new ground and command our attention.

And at the heart of it all is the remarkable, unique, fractious, codependent, alchemical bond between Mick and Keith, the Glimmer Twins. There’s been debauchery, decadence and death along the way. Not everyone survived the journey, but the band was always greater than the sum of its parts, laying down a trail of classic albums and landmark live performances in its wake.

Drawing on decades of music industry experience and five years of dedicated research, critically acclaimed biographer Bob Spitz brings a fresh eye to the epic story of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world.

In 2026 they remain in a league of their own. The Rolling Stones shows why.

so read this one.

Entertaining and as complete as it can be, reasonably well written and some good insights, although some of his imagery needs work. At one point he describes Anita Pallenberg's smile as having a "full octave of teeth". Which means that she has twelve but only if you count the black ones too...

Narration workmanlike rather than truly engaging but no real complaints.

But do get Keith's book too.

So much perspective. Perfectly encapsulating the music, the times, the people. Very well written, and the narrator is really good.

Just brilliant

Generally readable/listenable but lacks the thrust of an excellent biography. Several errors and misquotes are annoying. Pleased to have had it in my library but will not return to it. Give it a try if you love Stones but do not expect too much.

I’m a huge Stones fan and was really looking forward to this audible. But there are many inaccuracies in this book. Ruby Tuesday was the double A side along with Let’s Spend The Night Together, NOT Baby Jane or Lady Jane. Also Midnight Mile is called Moonlight Mile. Was this book not proofread before release. Or was AI involved. It made me think which parts are actually real or fiction. These errors put me off. Stick to According to the Rolling Stones book for a more accurate telling of the greatest rock & roll band ever.

As a British listener this was an often painful experience with virtually every British place name woefully mispronounced by the American narrator. Often grating it became a distraction from an otherwise really interesting and beguiling story.
