One of the many cards named after a rock band, along with the likes of Iron Maiden.
Works wonders for a fun deck with Illussionary Wall, Stoic Ephemera, Cinder Wall, Shifting Wall.
Wakestone Gargoyle has a similar effect.

Shouldn't be restricted to walls imho. Nullifying defender on all creatures would give johnnys another toy to play with. Also, it's best with wall of blood. Sure, it's risky, but it can kill any opponent with one attack as long as you got more life.

this is actually a band, you cannot use this for a card title, rescind all copies or else it won't be very good

i marvel at the iron will wizards demonstrated by not giving it funny flavour text.
Rolling Stones 1W Enchantment. Walls may attack as though they weren't Walls. "I can't get no...!"

Um, DaaNz, call me crazy but I think WotC were probably aware of the band when naming this card... and what won't be very good, you mean the Stones are gonna sue Hasbro? Have you never heard the expression "A rolling stone gathers no moss?" I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere about Mick Jagger being unable to get off with Kate Moss. Anyway that's where the band get their name, so it's not like they can claim intellectual property rights on it.
Another flavour text option: "It's as if the very walls are alive... Everywhere, I hear the sound of marching, charging feet!"
Or for the art, a guy is painting a wall black, but the wall doesn't like it and is attempting to squish him.

@ MidgetfaceKillah: The band Iron Maiden took its name from the object that the card Iron Maiden represents; the card was not named after the band. This card, on the other hand... probably was.
When they introduced the Defender mechanic, they retroactively applied it to all Walls. However, cards like this that refer to walls in this or a similar capacity were not upgraded to represent the change. This is not fair. There are very few Wall creatures produced anymore, so this card is dead in any relatively modernized deck. A card game should not render any of its cards dead for any reason.

This is such a cool card. It makes defender decks easy to play with for only two many. Also the artwork and name are great flavor.

So you've decided to make a wall deck huh? Well here's what you're gonna want...
Doran, the siege tower, marble titan, maybe indomitable ancients, and a whole bunch of meaty walls. Take your time though, wall-decks are a thinking-man's game.

Walls may attack is if they can't get no satisfaction.
So we have Rolling Stones and Iron Maiden. Now we just need Led Zeppelin, Metalica, and Nirvana lol.

What a wasted opportunity. None of the versions of this card have Rolling Stones lyrics as flavour text? Not even a vague reference? Something about "satisfaction", or painting the walls black? No mention of a beat of burden or a nervous breakdown or anything? You dropped the ball on this one Wizards. You Dropped The Ball Wizards.

lmao
If this was an un-set it would definitely have some kind of reference. "When Rolling Stones enters the battlefield, search your library for a card named Jumping Jack Flash. If you have one, you win the game"
"I attack with Gates of Eden. (pause) HOW DOES IT FEEL?!"

Does this card do anything any more? Walls now cannot attack because of defender, there has not been an errata on this card about defender. To me it sounds like this card now does nothing.
shame it's target blocking wall...but I can make work, I know I can.

For those who lament why doesn't this affect non-wall defenders:
Conceptually walls are immobile structures where as non-wall defenders are home guard. So you need magic to get walls to attack, but you need a order from superiors to get a home guard to attack.
