Listening to Bill Wyman
Bill Wyman told in "Stone Alone" (page 137):
After another night at the Ealing Jazz Club on December 4, 1962, the Rolling Stones spoke of their musical lineup. That happened when Tony Chapman said: "I know a musician who plays bass with its own amplifier and a great speaker and a Vox AC30 surplus". And so this was the unit traveling students and amateur musicians starving, sullen and demoralized that I first saw the Wetherby Arms, World's End, Chelsea, on December 7, 1962. The pop success was as remote as the prospect of participating in a decade of profound cultural change. Fame and fortune were as far as the pay check next week. The only question that mattered was: we can form a band and get a job?
In "The old gods never die" of Sthephen Davis (page 28):
Bill started playing in rock & roll sets and joined Cliftons in the spring of 1962, switched to bass (which he himself built) because they had a guitar solo. Many trials, some shows around south London, and Bill was able to get credit a couple of amps, a Vox Phantom and an AC-30 parts. That summer, Tony Chapman said the announcement of Brian Jones in calling for a bass player and started with the Stones. When Dick Taylor left and were not a good substitute, introduced them to Tony Bill, which had a pub in Chelsea encontradoen the December 7, where Keith and Brian had rejected with scorn. A Bill he thought looked like scruffy tramps, bohemian style of the artists, and for them, Bill had a pint of "teddy-boy", "Ernie authentic London", as Keith saidHate at first sight.Bill: "It was snowing, there were five inches in the street, and it was absolutely freezing cold. Tony and I went with her father's car to test Chelsea. I took all the material, including my amp parts, the camera echo, in addition to the enormous wardrobe (closet) I built with my 18-inch speaker and amplifier that controlled it. Everyone knew who I was, but nobody said anything. Stu had seen him once before and went to greet . but Brian and Keith, were drinking at the bar and completely ignored me for an hour and a half ... He left Mick and said something, so I plugged the amp and it was a little more interesting. We started playing "I'm a King Bee "the theme of Jimmy Red, and I found it easy to enter, a simple twelve-bar blues riff."Keef: "We came to trial and there it was, ladies and gentlemen, Bill Wyman. He had a great speaker and a Vox AC-30 parts, it was the biggest fucking amp had ever seen. And it was spare!. He said, "You can put one of your guitars here." Wow. It gave us a few volts of passers-by that device."I had the bass, because he had been playing horrible and shitty rock bands for several years. Is greater than ourselves, knows what he is playing."After improvise for a while, Bill paid a round and offered cigarettes. "This mosque, said, as if they were offered help against hunger." Brian and Keith, still showed cold, distant. Mick asked Bill if he knew the issues of Chicago bluesmen, and Bill replied that all he knew was Chuck Berry and Fast Domino. Bill said he did not know the repertoire of Bo Diddley, which led to the contempt of Brian and Keith.But at the end of the day, Bill was invited to the next test and somehow convinced him to leave his amplifiers and his team in the front room of his den of Edith Grove.Bill was horrified by what he saw there - filthy, dirty socks last meal and scattered, the damp walls gave off a smell of grease and poverty, but in spite of the suspicions against him, Bill Wyman was about to be a Rollin 'Stone. Ian Stewart recalled: "There is some truth in the old story of accepting Bill because amplifiers available. But remember, Bill was very good."The hardcore fans of the Stones still call Bill the luckiest man in the world.

Audición de Bill Wyman
Bill wyman relata en "Stone Alone" (pagina 137) :
Tras otra noche en el Ealing Jazz Club, el 4 de Diciembre de 1962, los Rolling Stones hablaron de su alineación musical. Eso sucedió cuando Tony Chapman dijo : " Conozco a un músico que toca el bajo que tiene su propio amplificador y un enorme altavoz además de un Vox AC30 sobrante". Y así esta era la unidad itinerante de estudiantes y músicos amateurs muertos de hambre, taciturnos y desmoralizados que vi por primera en el Wetherby Arms, en World's End, Chelsea, el 7 de Diciembre de 1962. El éxito del pop era un perspectiva tan remota como la de participar en una década de profundo cambio cultural. La fama y la fortuna estaban tan lejos como el cheque de la paga de la semana próxima. La única pregunta que nos importaba era : podemos formar una banda y conseguir trabajo?
En "Los viejos dioses nunca mueren" de Sthephen Davis (pagina 28) :
Bill empezó a tocar en conjuntos de rock & roll y se integró en los Cliftons la primavera de 1962; se pasó al bajo (que él mismo se construyó) porque ya tenían una guitarra solista. Muchos ensayos, algunas actuaciones alrededor del sur de Londres, y Bill pudo comprar a plazos un par de amplificadores, un Vox Phantom y un AC-30 de repuesto. Ese verano, Tony Chapman respondió al anuncio de Brian Jones en que pedía un Bajista y empezó con los Stones. Cuando Dick Taylor abandonó y no hallaban un buen sustituto , Tony les presentó a Bill, con el que se había encontradoen un pub de Chelsea el 7 de Diciembre, donde Keith y Brian lo habían rechazado desdeñosamente. A Bill le parecía que tenían aspecto de vagabundos desaliñados, del estilo bohemio de los artistas, y para ellos Bill tenía una pinta de "teddy-boy", "un auténtico Ernie Londinense", tal como dijo Keith
Odio a primera vista.
Bill: "Estaba nevando, había cinco centímetros en la calle, y hacía un frío absolutamente glacial. Tony y yo fuimos con el coche de su padre a Chelsea para la prueba. Llevé todo el material, incluido mi amplificador de repuesto, la cámara de eco , además del enorme guardarropa (un armario) que construí, con mi altavoz de 18 pulgadas y el amplificador que lo controlaba. Todos sabían quién era yo, pero nadie me decía nada . A Stu lo había visto ya una vez y fui a saludarlo. pero Brian y Keith, estaban bebiendo en el bar y me ignoraron totalmente durante una hora y media ... Legó Mick y dijo algo, así que enchufé el amplificador y fue un poco más interesante. Empezamos tocando "I'm a King Bee", el tema de Jimmy Red, y me pareció fácil entrar en él, un sencillo riff de doce compases" .
Keef : "Llegamos al ensayo y ahí estaba, ¡señoras y señores!, Bill Wyman. Tenía un enorme altavoz y un amplificador Vox AC-30 de repuesto, que era el mayor jodido amplificador que habíamos visto en la vida. ¡ Y era de repuesto!. Él dijo: " Podéis poner una de vuestras guitarras aquí ." Vaya. Nos proporcionó unos cuantos voltios de los que pasaban por aquel aparato.
"Ya tenía el bajo, porque había estado tocando en horribles y mierdosos conjuntos de rock durante unos años. Es mayor que nosotros, sabe lo que es tocar".
Después de que improvisaran durante un rato, Bill pagó una ronda y ofreció cigarrillos. "Se mosquearon , dijo, como si les ofreciera auxilio contra el hambre" . Brian y Keith, aún se mostraban fríos , distantes. Mick preguntó a Bill si conocía temas de los bluesmen de Chicago, y Bill respondió que todo lo que conocía era Chuk Berry y Fast Domino. Bill dijo que no conocía el repertorio de Bo Diddley, lo que provocó el desprecio de Brian y Keith.
Pero al final de la jornada, invitaron a Bill al siguiente ensayo y de alguna manero lo convencieron para que dejara sus amplificadores y su equipo en la habitación delantera de su guarida de Edith Grove. Bill se horrorizó por lo que vió allí - porquería , comida pasada y calcetines sucios desparramados, las húmedas paredes desprendían un olor a grasa y pobreza, pero a pesar de los recélos contra él, Bill Wyman estaba a punto de ser un Rollin' Stone. Ian Stewart recordaba: "Hay algo de verdad en la vieja historia de aceptar a Bill porque disponía de amplificadores. Pero, recuerda, Bill era muy bueno" .
Los fans acérrimos de los Stones todavía llaman a Bill el hombre más afortunado del mundo.
