Not really getting worked up over to be honest. One journalist's offhand compliment doesnt mean anything.

5th Stone, 6th Stone - whatever. During rehearsals Jagger discusses the arrangements with Chuck, and not with Keith or Charlie, not to speak of Ronnie. In fact, if someone is treated like a hired hand it's Ronnie. Chuck is there for a reason. He gets the fire from a lot of fans who believe Keith and Ronnie are not actually dominating the band with their guitar sound anymore just because Chuck is there. That's just wrong, plain and simple.
No,he's the 7th.Quote

Exactly. Some people actually blame Chuck himself for his increased role in the band as if he has the power to call all the shots.
If anything, onstage Chuck has become the 2nd Stone - not the 5th or 6th - behind Mick, as Keith has basically abdicated his role as musical director and prime whip-cracker. Keith has admitted several times in the last few years that he basically doesnt suggest what songs the band should play on any given night anymore because its Mick who has to sing them and entertain the audience. Chuck, to his credit, at least tries to push Mick into trying something different and to move away from playing the same warhorses all the time.
