The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger was doing the solo thing back in 1987 with his album Primitive Cool, and this week he was shooting a performance-based video for his single "Throwaway."
"Some of them are great and some of them really suck," Jagger said about making music videos. "What I like about it is, if someone's throwing money at me to do my own fantasy or whatever, I'm not gonna say there's anything wrong with it. I enjoy doing them so I'm just like, 'Great.' Sometimes you think, 'Why did I ever do that stupid [video],' but with performance ones you know you're on solid ground."
Aside from making the video, this outing was the first chance for Jagger to perform in front of an audience with a new band, which featured the often-reclusive veteran guitarist Jeff Beck.
"This is the first time we've ever appeared in public," Beck explained. "It's quite a moment, really. To watch people's faces, they love [Mick] so much. It takes the strain off me."
