Never mind the order - that plaque looks like a gravestone. All it needs is RIP at the bottom. I wouldn't enjoy it. But whatever pleases you...

you took the words out of my mouth.

Maybe remove the dates except for when the band formed?

Established 1962.

or something.

The dates under the members names does make it seem a bit like a gravestone. They were/are all members of the band, when they joined or left doesn't really need to be highlighted, does it?

I suggestd adding more instruments, but i agree with what someone said above, maybe best for sharpness etc to just list their core instruments.

Jones, guitar, harmonica,
Stu, piano
Jagger vocals, harmonica
Keith, guitar,
Bill, bass,
Charlie, drums
Taylor, guitar,
ronnie, guitar

Tis your thing of course.

I'll put a bolstered edge on it to give it a bit rough around the edges look

Sorry but this looks like a gravestone.

His Majesty..yea I was going to have their core instruments but others were saying put them all in..yea I know what ya mean

I'm with His Majesty in this one - the urge to establish as much possible information as possible (being appropriate or not) would make it easily a bit too 'busy'. I'm more for easthetical matters than detail-richness! You want to make it look good, don't you?

Brian placed the ad
Ian booked the room
Mick came to sing
and said he wasn't doin' it if Keith wasn't doin' it
Bill provided the bass and the amp
They finally persuaded Charlie to join
When they lost Brian, they gained Mick T
And when he left them, Ronnie became Keith's partner

Ian S. never was a formal member of the Stones, so with all due respect he wasn't a Rolling Stones.
So it's Brian, Mick, Keith, Bill, Charlie, Mick T. and Ron W.

Do you Kleerie mean that the band 'formally' was founded when they made the contract with Oldham (and Easton) and then with Decca?

I don't think having a different colour stone would make it look any less like a gravestone. Maybe not so many dates?

No I think it was a 'natural' process, also influenced by coincidence, and resulting in the 5 members band with Ian S. in the background. Anyway, Ian never was a member and neither was the other Taylor.

In words of a great and missed contributor here - who first stopped talking to me, and now to everyone - I don't necessarily disagree with you.

It would be a work of a genius if you first dig a hole in your garden, throw all your Rolling Stones records down there before you place your soon-to-be RS tombstone over.

Ian s was acknowledged as a band member for r and r hall of fame so doesn't that make him an official stone ?

[www.fifetoday.co.uk]

With the sad news surrounding Mick Jagger’s long term girlfriend this week several Fifers have been recalling times they saw Mick in the Kingdom.

Back when the Stones would play the Caird Hall Dundee, he was sat in the cafe in Leuchars after seeing some motorbikes parked up outside.

As recent as 2003 Mick was again seen in the Crusoe Hotel for a half Guinness and crisps where he duly signed an autograph for the owner.

He had been in the East Neuk seeking the surviving relatives of the late Ian Stewart who was raised in Pittenweem.

Without Ian there would have been no Stones - it was his band, formed with guitarist Brian Jones.

Back at the birth of British R&B in 1961, ‘Stu’ as he was known would sit in on piano with drummer Charlie Watts at sessions by Alexis Korner at the Ealing Jazz Club.

Brian wanted to form his own band and Stu answered his ad in Jazz News.

Stu then invited his mate Mick to audition which he did but on the condition he could bring Keith Richards.

Playing boogie-woogie piano to Keith’s riffs they hit it off immediately and so began the legacy.

By July 1962 they still had no drummer or name for the combo until they landed a gig at the Marquee Club.

Needing a name, Brian looked at a Muddy Waters LP and said Rollin’ Stone – as so it was.

Nearly a year later PR man Andrew Loog Oldham saw them as his first signing.

His fashion sense dropped Stu - he didn’t fit the long hair thin boy image.

He would be on every album and tour though but missed the photo shoots.

Clean living Stu died of a heart attack aged just 47 and as a tribute plays out the Dirty Work album released 1986.

It wasn't his band, he didn't play on every album and he didn't play on every tour.

Good and essential man of course, but let's not let wonky info fly free.
