Beskrivelse

An in-depth illustrated chronicle of the world’s greatest rock band and their enduring influence.

The Rolling Stones have reached a level of fame and success that’s truly one of a kind. Their unforgettable riffs and memorable lyrics have become a permanent part of our cultural soundtrack. Known for their captivating presence both onstage and off, the Stones redefined what it means to be a rock band-not just in sound, but in attitude, style, and image. They were pioneers in realizing that appearance was just as crucial as the music itself, and that photography played a key role in shaping their public persona.

Author Lucy Sante sums it up perfectly: “The clothes and the hair are always impeccable. They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they would look in the photos.” It’s no surprise that some of the most renowned photographers in history were eager to capture the band’s essence.

Created with close input from the band, this edition offers a remarkable visual history and a glimpse into their outrageously cool lifestyle. It spans over 500 pages filled with photographs and artwork sourced from archives worldwide.
