In the early days of their friendship, Keith Richards would play The Beatles constantly, driving Mick Jagger "absolutely batty." The Rolling Stones were still a blues cover band when the Fab Four become international sensations. "We were just envious too, man. I mean, they're doing what we want, you know, and they got it," remembers Richards in the...
In 1971, before he was part of the band, Ronnie Wood bought a house in the Richmond area of London called "The Wick." "I went in and I saw these beautiful fireplaces and beautiful oval rooms, and I went beyond my means to get it, of course," says Wood. One of the first things he did was turn the basement into a recording studio. Soon, the house bec...
"What a great performer Mick is. He can perform on a coffee table. It takes a lot of balls to stand up and command an audience of 100,000 people," says Patrick Woodroffe, the band's former creative director, in the docuseries. Described by some as a 'wild animal' on stage, Jagger credits Little Richard for his moves: "Little Richard literally taugh...
Charlie Watts and the other Rolling Stones lived a nomadic existence during their 60 years of touring around the world. A proper English gentleman, Watts was anything but a rock and roll cliche.

When former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor grew weary of his drug-fuelled life on the road, he quit right in front of Wood. Taylor leaned over Wood to tell Jagger, "I'm leaving the band. I'm leaving right now," remembers Wood. It wasn't l...
By the mid-1970s, Keith Richards began to struggle with fame, finding it hard to cope with "that level of adoration." He turned to drugs and in 1977 was arrested in Toronto for heroin possession and 'means to traffic,' which almost landed him in jail for years. Though he didn't end up doing any time, Richards said it became clear to him it was "mus...
Charlie Watts was fascinated with drums from a very young age, playing beats on the family table with a piece of wood or a knife and fork. "We bought him his first drum set for Christmas when he was 14," said Charlie's mom, Lil. Of course, his love turned into a lifelong obsession. Watts collected some 100 drum kits, which he kept at an undisclosed...
The Rolling Stones needed a poster for their 1970 European Tour and Mick Jagger wanted an image that could work on its own like the Shell Petroleum logo. "We were doing the Sticky Fingerscover. I don't know why I thought it should have a logo," says Jagger, who worked with graphic design student John Pasche on the logo. "I gave him this idea of thi...
