A cool thing about the Stones is that they still look like rock stars even in their late 50s. Many other rock acts have grown middle-aged looking like most normal people.
How do the Stones do it?
Is it fierce pride that keeps them svelte?
Is it just natural for them to stay thin, like models?
Do you think they have a pact among themselves that says, "We will keep in shape"? |

Mick exercises a lot. Keith just carries the guitar on stage, as self-proclaimed I don't know about Ronnie and Charlie. I think it's a matter of constitution. I remember reading an article on how war babies (born in the 40's or around there) were all thinner than usual. Maybe it's that. Or a pact with the Devil, who knows |

A lot of ppl who are very ingrossed in their careers and life do not have to use food as an "antidepressant" like so many of us Americans do. There are a ton of skinny English ppl...more so than the U.S. many times over. Many of us live our lives seeing commercials for fast food and convenience items on TV, and those are easy and taste great so we eat them. I dont think any of them have a big secret. They just put food in its proper place. |

Well they don't eat at Taco Bell, Mc Donalds, Pizza etc...
Mick prolly eats 6 times a day in moderation, little by little...
They also eat the finest foods that mother nature provides.
Question is, how did Marlon Brando and Mick Taylor get so fat? lol

Could be the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
Have you tried english food lately? You'd be skinny too, LOL! |

Its very easy really.
Mick stays thin because he eats all the right foods and excercises like mad. He is a health freak!
Ronnie and Keith smoke like chimneys to stay thin. Smoking is an apetite deprecent and the ammount Ronnie smokes, i bet he never feels the need to eat!
Charlie though, hhhmmm.. i don't really know. I think he just looks like a regular 60 year old to be honest.

Charlie's played the drums for forty years! He probably sweats off all the weight he gains over the course of a day. On 9/3 in Boston, that opening night, he was *wrecked* by the end of the night, really leaning on everyone else to get him to the final bows. But when I saw him again he seemed fine - it was probably that 'first time in awhile' feeling. But it's a *lot* of work!

I've read that they are small because they were war babies also. It makes sense...the food was still being rationed years after the war.
But, on another note *ahem, Joey*, I'd like to say that cocaine is the best damn diet in the world. |

does this mean all thin people are war babies?

I read in a early article which was interview with Keith in 92 or later, where he told he do some exercises. A little, but I think he really do anything. |

So why does Mick Taylor look the way he does? Wasn't that his poison of choice? Or did he get that way in a kind of rehab?
Well, the others are all war babies - Mick Taylor was the youngest of the bunch, born in '49, right on the tail end of that kinda group, so I don't know what was going on there, because he was *giant* (6' 3" in comparison to the other Stones who are all around 5' 10"). It is true - those who were born in that era from around '40 to '47 tend to have smaller and more fragile frames than others.

What about Daryl- He looks like he lives high on the hog. Only the best fat in his meals. |

Well, Mick T looks as though he took up booze...which totally blows the cocaine diet all to hell. Look at how fat Anita got when she quit gave up smack and coke for booze. |

I think many of you have interesting and accurate ideas. However, I think that the Stones, especially Mick and Keith, are quintessential rock stars and would never allow themselves to grow fat.
That is why I love the Stones; they are the epitome of what rock stars should be.

Sorry Xyzzy.......
Mick Taylor isn't close to 6' 3".
He's about 5' 8" TOPS!
I have a photo of MT taken with me in Jan 2000 when he toured America and I'm at least 6" taller!
I'm 6' 2"

I think that means they learned certain eating habits when they were young and they have continued those habits throughout their adult lives...and then there's the cig's, excerise habits and all the rest to go along with it. |

To quote Keith:
"You try carrying a guitar around stage for two hours a night, baby, you'll forget about the Nordictrack!" |

LOL, you mean, Everybody Wang Chung Tonight?
I get the Mars Bar the and Fish mixed up Zeppelin and the Stones.
But the Mars Bar came out in the late 80's though right? |

Inside sources say that the Stones are on the "Jared from Subway" diet... |

absolutely not,its been around here for decades..and the apocryphal story put around by the police at the time of the incident in question did SPECIFICALLY mention a Mars
the advertising slogan at the time was "A mars a day helps you work,rest and play.."

Seriously, it helps to be a millionaire and have the ability to hire people to train you and make you healthy food that actually tastes good.
