Impressed with Beggars Banquet, the Stones gave the 'zine instant cred on the rock scene by singing its praises -- and by inviting German to hang with the band. At first a fish out of water in the company of rock royalty, German found himself spilling orange juice on a priceless rug in Mick Jagger's house and getting pegged as a narc by pals of Keith Richards and Ron Wood. But before long he became a fixture in the inner sanctum, not just reporting Stones stories but living them. He was a a player in the Mick-versus-Keith feud and was an eyewitness to Keith's midlife crisis and Ron's overindulgences. He even had a reluctant role in covering up Mick's peccadilloes. "In the span of a few months," German recalls, "I'd gone from wanting to know everything about my favorite rock stars to knowing too much."
In this warts-and-all book, which includes many never-before-seen photographs, German takes us to the Stones' homes, recording sessions, and concerts around the world. He charts the band's rock path from the unthinkable depths of a near breakup to the obscenely lucrative heights of their blockbuster tours. And ultimately,German reveals why his childhood dream became a passion he finally had to part with.
Under Their Thumb is an up-close and extremely personal dispatch from the amazing, exclusive world of the Rolling Stones, by someone who was lucky enough to live it -- and sober enough to remember it all.
