About Marianne
Expertise
I have been a Stones` fan since I first heard them. They are my one and only band. My home has been called a "museum" because of the treasure trove of Stones` music,books, Ronnie`s art,little gifts from the band...the list goes on. Ask me anything,and I shall try to find you an answer.

Experience
I have been to 42 Rolling Stones shows and the small "surprise" gigs(RPM,Horseshoe Tavern,Palais Royale Ballroom,the Phoenix Theatre, the Beacon Theatre. ). Also, I was at Keith's CNIB shows in Oshawa and his Wino's shows. I have seen Charlie Watts' jazz band playing live as well. I have been very blessed because I have met all of the Stones..Mick, Keith, Charlie, Ronnie and Bill. They are wonderful guys! Dreams DO come true!

Education/Credentials
B.A. B.Ed. in English Literature and French.
I have been sharing my Rolling Stones expertise with fans, collectors of Stones' items and journalists who require information. I welcome all of your questions.

Rolling Stones, The - height and weight


Expert: Marianne - 1/15/2006

Question
I read an articule in a montreal paper about the security guards mentioning the size of the Stones,I like your self am a big fan and have seen them live over a dozen times and in person in Toronto.They didn't seam that small,but according to this reporter they average 5'4" and 120 pounds dripping wet.What is the height and weight of each stone?

Answer
Hi Jason, what a great question. I also read that and I could not believe my eyes. I am 5'7 and I've stood beside all of the Stones.......the article is simply untrue!!

I'm going to give you each Stone's height and weight according to my latest info. Here we go:
-Mick Jagger = Height - 5'10" /Weight - 140 lean pounds
-Keith Richards = Height - 5'10 " /Weight - 138 pounds
-Charlie Watts = Height - 5'8" /Weight - 138 pounds
-Ronnie Wood = Height - 5'9" /Weight - 140 pounds
-Bill Wyman = Height - 5'8" /Weight - 137 pounds

I don't have the info on Darryl Jones , but I think it's safe to say that he is well above 5'4" and he is quite hefty.

The backing players are all in the range of the Stones I've listed here. Bobby Keys, Blondie Chaplin, Lisa Fischer, Chuck Leavell are all about 5'10-5'9". Only Bernard Fowler towers above them all at over 6'!!

There you have it Jason. All of the Stones, in person and up close, are all taller than I am. I hope you are pleased with my response.

Thanks again for this question. (Now, I want to know where the writer received his information!!)

Cheers,
Marianne.
