Yes. He was the second Stone. Brian was the first. He hired the rest.

Is... is this a trick question? Of course Stu was a Rolling Stone... whether he liked it or not! Where would that band be without Ian Stewart?

Well, yeah, those are the Stones today. But you can't change history!!! There wouldn't have been any Rolling Stones if Brian hadn't brought them all together. And Stu was a Stone before anyone else BUT Brian.

Right on! it depends on what age one is, if somebody, like myself, grew up in the 60's, & was a insane Rolling Stones fan, I remember that period, but if one is like 16 Yrs. old, I imagine The Stones of this decade is your favorite time in their career.

I sure don't want to sound like an elitest asshole here, but I can't help myself this time. Anyone that does not consider Stu a Stone dosen't know too much about the history of the band. He was a Stone. He is a Stone. He will always be a Stone!! Period. End of story! You want to ask if Stu was a Stone?! Ask Mick, Keith, Ronnie, Charlie, and Bill. They would laugh in your face for such a petulant question. Of course Ian Stewart is a Rolling fucking Stone! Geeesh!

If you're going to be an asshole, be the best... lol!
I agree, Stu is a Stone... I've known this I first found out who he was when I began reading books on The Stones as a young teen. It blows he died so young. I truly beleive the band would be much better today with him still around!

I know what you mean -- I listened to the Stones for years [but didn't read up about them] and had no clue about Stu.  It was a shock learning about him and sad to think how few outside the Stones nation know he even existed!

i definitly heard his name and i was pretty sure he played the piano but i did not know he was with the band at the beginning.  i saw his face in pictures when the popular 80's tour thing was going on and that is how i visualize him.
now i am wondering if i should think of him as an origional stone......

Hell yeah you should!  He was the first to respond to Brian's ad so he really was there from the get go and the main reason he didn't remain an official Stone was because Andrew Loog Oldham didn't think he fit the image of the Stones and 6 members were too many for fans to keep track of.  Of course, none of the other Stones protested the decision, allowing it to happen, but he still recorded with them and played in concert from the beginning.

I asked ANdrew about it and he answered me the following

“Gerardo, I did not fire Stu, that was not within my power to do. I just told the Stones that I did not think the English public, because that's all we were dealing with at the time, were capable of being sold an image factor that contained six people. If the band had said, "Andrew, you can't do that" then Stu would have stayed in the band. This would have made a great difference as to what their future would have been and raises the question of whether you'd have been writing me a letter today on any issue on the Stones, had Stu stayed.



"I don't know but I was right at the time. How do I feel as a man in his mid-fifties with knowledge now about decisions that cause pain to others? Obviously different, but we were teenagers or in our early twenties, well, all except Bill, and at that age youth is invincible and does not know the meaning of hurt, except in matters of the teenage heart. It remains a good decision. If you saw a member of Supertramp or Los Lobos down on the corner I doubt you'd recognise more than one or two members. Life's got a short attention span when you work from nine to five and need to be entertained. Pop music is not a memory test, it's an escape and an entertainment. Over the years the Stones have got away with "Andrew fired Stu" - life is not as simple as they'd like that statement to be."



Andrew Loog Oldham June 2001

Thanks for posting that letter from Andrew, Voodoo. Interesting to see what his perspective was at the time---and now.
