You know, Rolling Stones songs all sound kind of the same.

The Stones are great and always have been. Jagger's lyrics are just amazing. Right on the ball every time.

I got to play on a couple of records with the Rolling Stones, and that was really special to me.

You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.

The Stones were nasty and ugly and doing songs I was familiar with.

Mick Jagger can't even make a successful solo album, and the Stones are the biggest rock group that ever was.

I sat through Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones like three times at the Skyway when it came out.

The Rolling Stones are constantly changing, but beneath the changes they remain the most formal of rock bands. Their successive releases have been continuous extensions of their approach, not radical redefinitions, as has so often been the case with the Beatles.

The Rolling Stones have been the best of all possible worlds: they have the lack of pretension and sentimentality associated with the blues, the rawness and toughness of hard rock, and the depth which always makes you feel that they are in the midst of saying something. They have never impressed me as being kitsch.
