Today in Rolling Stones history: June 5

*Click for DAILY ROLLING STONES CHRONOLOGY 1962-present

June 5 has quietly become a weirdly loaded date in The Rolling Stones’ long, chaotic timeline—like a greatest-hits reel that refuses to sit still. From their early UK club days to their explosive 1964 U.S. debut in San Bernardino, the band kept turning this single calendar slot into history. By 1965 the release of (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction cemented The Rolling Stones as global rock heavyweights, while later years stretched from the Paris fire of 1976 to massive modern stadium shows like Manchester 2018. Along the way, deluxe reissues, all-star jams, and unexpected collaborations show a band that never really left the conversation—they just kept rewriting it louder each time.

June 5, 1965: Release of the (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction / The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man 7″ single in the U.S. (London 9766)

(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction is the Rolling Stones’ defining track and most famous hit, driven by Keith Richards’ iconic fuzz riff and a blues-rooted but fully rock sound. Mick Jagger moves from restrained, sarcastic verses to explosive choruses that express frustration with modern life, media, and relationships. Released first in the U.S., it quickly topped global charts, establishing the Stones as a dominant force of the era, second only to the Beatles, and inspiring countless covers.
As for The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man, this is the Stones aiming their sarcasm at the music industry itself in 1965. Built on a bluesy groove, it mocks inflated job titles and promotional hype. Mick Jagger delivers it with sly amusement, hinting at rock’s early distrust of corporate image.
