The Rolling Stones: Steel Wheels
David Sinclair, Q, October 1989
NOT ONLY did The Rolling Stones come out of the traps considerably faster than the current wave of mouthy young turks but they have stayed the course in a way that surely defies belief. I wonder where Guns 'N' Roses will be 26 years after their first hit or what The Stone Roses will be good for come the year 2015.
