In the weeks before the release of The Stones and Brian Jones, Nick Broomfield’s documentary about the first casualty of the Rolling Stones’ rise to prominence, the band released its 24th (in the UK; 26th in the US) studio album. And as part of the release of Hackney Diamonds, the band’s first studio release in seven years, the Stones’ PR machine went into overdrive. Mick Jagger and Keith Richard made the rounds and, among other topics, often touched on the death of longtime drummer Charlie Watts and its impact on the band. These interviews have tended to be fascinating affairs; such is the state of things when members of rock royalty hit the promotion trail.
One name that was barely mentioned is Brian Jones. That is not altogether surprising; even though Jones was the band’s founder and its first leader, he died more than 50 years ago. But...

Tl;Dr:
A Monkees hit from 1967 sounds like The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” from 1965. There are two versions of The Monkees’ song. They are both great.
The Monkees were often inspired by The Beatles, but they once nicked a riff from The Rolling Stones. One of their songs initially sounded very similar to The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Subsequently, the song was substantially changed before it was released to the public.
1 Monkees song has a riff like The Rolling Stones’ ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’
The most notable aspect of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” is Keith Richard’s riff. It is the riff to end all riffs. Top 40 radio probably never heard a guitar lick that good again.
The Rolling Stones released that song in 1965. In 1967, The Monkees released their song “Valleri.” The opening of demo version of the...

The Rolling Stones eventually developed into a band capable of writing their own No. 1 hits, but they relied on cover songs and kind composers giving them music on many of their early tunes. John Lennon and Paul McCartney gave the Stones the song that became their first hit. Mick Jagger and Keith Richard gave away a top-10 hit to another musician before The Rolling Stones notched a top-10 tune of their own.

Marianne Faithfull dated Mick Jagger for four years. They had a stormy relationship peppered with unfaithfulness. However, one night with Jagger’s Rolling Stones bandmate Keith Richards differed from other affairs. Faithfull called it “the best night of my life.”

Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger first met at a party when Faithfull was only 17. Jagger and his bandmate Keith Richards wrote a song for Faithfull, “As Tears Go By,” which she recorded in 1964. The tune would hit number six on the Billboard charts. The Rolling Stones would record their version of the song one year later.
But it wasn’t until 1966, when she was 20, that she and Jagger began dating. They were the epitome of swinging sixties London and, together, created a stir for their on-again-off-again relationship.
