Held in Zurich, Bill appeared on stage to discuss his life and career, including how the Rolling Stones changed from its early days. In the humourous interview, Bill answers questions about his early life growing up, his time with the Rolling Stones including playing a concert in Warsaw in 1967 and then playing Zurich.
Bill also discusses why he collects things, and his favourite music from the 1930s, to how the Rolling Stones played large stadiums. Bill also explains how he invented the fretless bass in 1961 without knowing it. He says he didn’t like the sound of frets and wanted to make a smooth, different sound.
