The Rolling Stones are playing U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis this Sunday 10/24. The Rolling Stones have covered many songs, and plenty of bands have covered the Rolling Stones. Recently, Paul McCartney even called them a “blues cover band.” To which Mick responded a few days ago with an onstage comment, “There’s so many celebrities here tonight, Megan Fox is here, she’s lovely. Leonardo DiCaprio. Lady Gaga. Kirk Douglas. Paul McCartney is here, he’s going to help us – he’s going to join us in a blues cover later.”

Let's dig into the conversation about Rolling Stones covers in the way we do best - with music!
