It's a great disappointment that Keith - so long the heart, soul and driving force of the band - has abdicated responsibility for it's direction (both onstage and in terms of creativity) and demoted himself to a role below that of Jagger and Cohl in influence.

Well - that is obvious. They both have to clean up their acts. But...while Clapton, E-street, Burdon, David Johansen (Dolls) and lots of others still perform very well, I realize that Stones nowadays are a myth (something to see, before...) and will never ever be a very good band again. Age, drugs, alcohol...in the end you can´t beat it. You have to take care...to get a good result, for a looong time.

Clapton is honestly one of the most boring performers I have ever witnessed in my life.
Burdon ? is he still alive much less performing? what has he done in the last 40 years?
David Johansen, yeah Buster Poindexter is the king, come on!

clapton may be a boring "performer" but he's still an ace on the axe. burdon still performs regularly and still has those amazing pipes - and he's released two killer studio albums in the past few years.

it's all about the music for some of us - the theatrics and "performance" should never be placed ahead of the music. yeah, i'm a jazz, classical, blues, folk, celtic, etc, etc, etc fan. not sure why rock music should be held to a different standard.

I don't really mean "theatrics and "performance" should be placed ahead of the music" either I'm just saying that just technical ability alone doesn't excite me, I guess thats why I always hated prog rock for the most part.

I also think Chuck Leavell should be fired immediately and pretty much the rest of the backing band.. They should just be the five of them and then a good piano (first)/keyboard(second) player.. someone with a less clean pretty sound...
