9780297843320: According to The Rolling Stones

Synopsis

In a large, beautifully-designed book Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie describe how music affected and changed their lives and those of at least two generations, and how their own lives - and lifestyles - have in turn helped, or hindered, their music-making. The text, largely in the form of first-person narrative, is, in turn, insightful, funny, sardonic, surprising, but above all very personal and intimate. A reference section including discography, gigography and chronology is shot through with the band's eye view of their history and punctuated by pithy comments and views on album and single releases, on memorable or famed performances and other newsworthy events.

From the Back Cover

They' ve gathered a huge reputation over the years, and seen off generations of lesser bands, but the Rolling Stones show few signs of retiring to their country mansions and settling down. In fact, last year's greatest hits album, "40 licks", was one of their most successful ever, and they 're currently in the middle of a year-long 'greatest hits' world tour. Now, to coincide with this sell-out tour, the current members of the band have written their group autobiography.
