Is Ian Stewart a Rolling Stone or not?

Actually, no, he's dead Blank Frigging Stare

But he was a member of the band, in fact Stu was the second member after Brian Jones and before all others. He was the first to respond Brian's ad in Jazz News; he joined Brian and Jeff Bradford. Then Mick Jagger met them at the Ealing R&B Club and joined their rehearsals, bringing his mates Keith Richards and Dick Taylor. Stu was the first person Keith met when he auditioned for the job.

Being the second, he is known as the sixth Rolling Stone.

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping with your girlfriend!!

Hard to believe now that when he died in December 1985, thats now actually pretty much exactly the half way point of the band's lifespan to date.

You could make a strong argument that the Rolling Stones many of us grew up with ended with Stu and one with a very different ethos emerged by the end of the 80's with Cohl as the 'sixth Stone' (if anything, he's pretty much the 'second Stone' these days - just as Stu was in 1962)

You know the photo of him playin back stage as the others are performing on the main stage, can you just imagine doing that. What a musician.
He does not seem bothered to be placed in a backing and I mean Backing stage role. I wonder how one of these guys now, would react to that kind of ....treatment.
Stu's, A Stone.....more than a Stone, The Stone. Blank Frigging Stare

IMO
cause the others are the Stones really?

:funny

You know growing up we always heard about this guy, but he was quite the mystery.
It nice to have a place to enforce his statue in the great band, he had a hand in making.

stu was a stone.....period.
there are those who i feel contributed more to the stones' music technially - nicky hopkins etc....
but stu was a brother.

this is funny anecdote about stu from session player jim dickenson...:

Your most famous session is the one you did with the Rolling Stones on “Wild Horses.” Ian Stewart was the Stones’ regular piano player at that time. Why didn't he play on that song?

I didn’t know the reason, for 10 years afterwards. As soon as they started doing the song, Stu got up from the piano and started packing the gear, as if they were leaving. I was standing with Jerry Wexler, and Jagger came over to me and said, [affecting Jagger’s accent], “So, I assume now we need a keyboardist.” Wexler said, “We could call Barry Beckett.” And I said, “Jerry, I don’t think that’s what he means.” So I just sat and started playing. Ten years later I was in New York, in a bar at the Plaza Hotel, and Stu was there having a drink. I said to him, “Man, I’m not complaining, because it literally gave me a career, but why didn’t you play on that song?” And he said, “Mate, I don’t play minor chords. I’m a ‘boozie woozie’ piano player. When I’m playing with the lads on-stage, and a minor chord comes by, I lifts me hands in protest.” So that was it. The song begins in B-minor, and Stu wasn’t having any part of that.
