Hardly!
Yes, Geldof was a little Jagger-esque in his stage manner and the press of the time delighted in such comparisons, but the Rats were certainly NOT a "carbon copy of the Rolling Stones" - the music was completely different, and so were the band.
Which of their songs sound like the Stones????

Re: boomtown rats
Retro Don is correct, Geldof fancied himself as a poor mans Jagger and failed miserably.
The band did do a couple of good tunes before the overplayed and tedious 'I don't like Mondays' such as Like Clockwork, She's so Modern and Rat Trap

Re: boomtown rats
Presumably the Jagger comparison is due to the "idiot dancing" Geldof would do, a la the ugly old scrote.
The Rats weren't bad, and it's a shame I Don't Like Mondays has fallen out of fashion since it's a stonking song. Heard a Tori Amos cover of it recently, which was good---but nowhere near as good as the original. Oh, and the video was a landmark for the industry, with a nice Village Of The Damned vibe going on.
