Wow! That is certainly one of the very best websites on the Stones that I've ever seen.

It's historical revisionism to refer to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as founders of the Rolling Stones without mentioning Brian Jones. Mick and Keith actually joined Brian's band in 1962. It would be a few months yet before they would even name their band and the lineup wasn't even finalized until December 1962 after Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts had been recruited.

For the record I'm not much impressed with the Rolling Stones' new old single "Plundered My Soul". Of course neither is "Exile on Main Street" anywhere close to being my favourite Stones' album.

So Jeff Beck received a call from the Rolling Stones inviting him to Amsterdam to jam/play with them at their Rolling Stones mobile recording studio in 1974 following Mick Taylor's departure from the Stones. According to Jeff, he didn't know whether he was supposed to be auditioning for membership in the Stones or whether they just wanted his contribution as a session guitarist. He therefore decided to just play it by ear so to speak.
After he started playing with Keith Richards and the other fellows though, it didn't take Jeff long to realize that his experimental fusion playing just wasn't meshing well into the Stones blues-rock twin guitar sound. Since he had a recording session of his own scheduled back in London with former Beatles producer George Martin, Jeff announced that he was leaving to return to the U.K. The Stones were, however, flabbergasted. You see Mick, Keith and the other fellows had decided by then that Jeff was the guitarist they wanted and that there was no need to audition any others!
Jeff though just shook his head politely and went to gather up his personal belongings. But when he returned shortly thereafter for his car which was parked near the mobile, engineer Glyn Johns shouted out "You've got to hear this. It's great!" and he played back the tape of Jeff playing with the Stones. And much to his surprise, Jeff found himself agreeing that it was indeed great.
This left Jeff in a conundrum. Should he cancel his recording engagement with George Martin and stay to play with the Stones, or should he honour his previous commitment with George? He decided to go back to London and record with George. The album "Blow by Blow" was the result of these sessions with George:

Re: The Official Rolling Stones Thread!!!
I stumbled on this (in Wikipedia) today about Mick Avory the drummer for the Kinks.
The group unsuccessfully auditioned for various record labels until early 1964, when Talmy secured them a contract with Pye Records. During this period they had acquired a new drummer, Mickey Willet; however, Willet left the band shortly before they signed to Pye. The Ravens invited Mick Avory to replace him after seeing an advertisement Avory had placed in Melody Maker. Avory had a background in jazz drumming, and had played one gig with the fledgling Rolling Stones.
**The Kinks were called the Ravens before they became The Kinks.
