See Bill Wyman explain how he joined the Rolling Stones in 1962
as a possible replacement for founding member Dick Taylor. As Wyman recounts in this exclusive clip from his upcoming documentary, the band was initially a little skeptical he was the one for the job. “They asked me what music I liked,” said Wyman. “I said, ‘Chuck Berry’ and they said, ‘Great!’ I said, ‘Jerry Lee Lewis,’ ‘No!’ ‘Eddie Cochran,’ ‘No!’ All the rock & rollers, they didn’t like any of them. ‘We’re a blues band, we’re not a rock & roll band.
’”Wyman may not have had quite the musical background they wanted, but he did have a Vox AC30 bass amp and a smaller Watkins Westminster amp he told them they were free to use. He sweetened the deal by buying them all cigarettes and a round of drinks since they were all flat broke. That was all it took. They made him a Rolling Stone and he stuck around until the end of theTour 28 years later when his fear of flying and general burnout from the road convinced him it was time to hang up his bass.
