Ashweb Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Found this article on the BBC web site the other day... [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38135674"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38135674[/url] An interesting article about Darryl Jones, who was hired by the Rolling Stones as a bass player when Bill Wyman left in 1984 and has played on all albums and live shows since then - as a hired hand. Seems odd that you can play with a band for over thirty years, and not be part of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rolling Stone are a very English Enterprise. You ain't English you'll never be a full member. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Of course. To be a band member he would have to be. Short, skinny, ugly and immortal. Oh and English. But why bother with a full time bassist when you dont have to? Also, If you consider they still call Ronnie the new boy, Its a gang of mates and not open to just anyone.

chris_b Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The Stones are a family business. . . . Downton with more travelling and noise. You can't even get into the road crew. Even those jobs are handed down between generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
