THE ROLLING STONES: ROCK OF AGES - AN UNAUTHORIZED STORY

Details

• Release Year: 2008
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: Rock of Ages charts the amazing story of what is arguably the greatest rock band in the world, chronicling their first ever gig at the Marquee Club on the 12th of July, 1962, the line-up changes, the famous 'rivalry' between the Stones and the Beatles, the meteoric rise to fame of the group due to their live shows as well as all the personal drama the band members themselves had to go through. From the earliest beginnings, when manager Andrew Olden was eager to present the Stones to the world as the antithesis of the family-friendly Beatles, trouble followed the band wherever it went, with numerous drug busts. Brian Jones, the founder of the group, was feeling displaced as the decision maker and left, the band replacing him with Mick Taylor. Since then, The Stones, as they are affectionately known by fans around the world, have gone from strength to strength, despite continuing drug busts, the tragedy that was the concert at Altamont Speedway, and the high profile love-life of Mick Jagger. In recent years, however, the Stones have concentrated on their live shows, still giving 100% despite their collective age. The Rolling Stones will keep on rolling, for years to come.
