the Rolling Stones
Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones became one of rock's most definitive bands.
Following the departure and subsequent death of Brian Jones in 1969, the Rolling Stones replaced him with the virtuosic guitarist Mick Taylor.
Taylorâs arrival allowed the band to maintain their signature "weaving" guitar style, as his melodic lines provided a seamless counterpoint to Keith Richards's playing. With Taylor in the lineup, the group returned to the road in 1969 and quickly established themselves as a premier touring attraction.12
