Has Keith ever sat down a tv talk show style interview before this? I really enjoyed it ... even if the interviewer acted like a gushing fanboy.

He was sober and lucid, which is a good thing.

... hearing Keith talk about his guitar playing having gotten "rusty" as he glanced down at his 67 year old arthritic fingers, before looking over at the band and telling them not to invite him onstage to play.

25 or 30 years ago, there would have been NO WAY to have kept Keith off that stage

Right on all counts Schillid. But still cool seing Keef upright and looking well. A lot of his peers can't say that these days.

Yeah I thought he looked great and the most lucid I have ever seen him. Are those new teeth? He looked different somehow.

That was fantastic. What a witty guy. He comes across as someone who is genuinely happy and at ease. He could almost be an after dinner speaker!

He is so @#$%& cool.

I was worried to hear his comment about being rusty but was pumped up after seeing the interview about how great he sounded and how healthy he looked. Maybe this EOMS rerelease will get him excited about playing guitar and writing new songs. Hope so!

Also - i forgot how they messed up talking about how he likes the Beggars Banquet cover, but he's actually describing the Let It Bleed cover. I don't know if Jimmy knew or if he was just going with it - I would have been like "YOU IDIOT!!" But that's just the way I am!

Keith mentions Let It Bleed by name, Jimmy was just talking about Beggars Banquet at the same time: "Let It Bleed, I kind've like that one too..."

So see, you probably would have said that on national tv and shamed us all. Then I would've had to slap you on the ass and say, "Sit down and let Keith talk you silly bitch." But that's just the way I am.

oh great - not only am I rude, but I'm deaf now too. this is not a great way to go through life.

1. Fallon is the only remotely hip network show left. Leno is a joke. Letterman has some cred, but not as much as Fallon, even if Fallon is still learning the ropes.

2. Glad to see and hear a healthy, slur-less Keith. Maybe he can play with more passion if it is coming from within instead of being booze-fueled. (and though I am often Guinness-fueled I am kinda tired of seeing Keith and Ronnie try to play while being unable to play. There comes a point where you can't do all the things you used to be able to do..alcohol can just keep you from realizing how badly you look and sound while trying to do them. And at $350 a ticket...or $100 a ticket...I would rather see someone doing the best they are capable of).

yea the future is bright!

He had a lot of tug and sniff action going on in the beginning of the interview. The allergy season? Maybe.

He said he quit doing coke after he fell out of the tree. It would conflict with the medicine the doctors gave him.

Who knows, maybe he feels better now. I know I do. A lot better.

That's absolutely right, it's too bad that f*cking arthritis, but he looks great and his fingers seem better.

Whilst it was good to see Keith in fine form, what a load of tosh in every-other regard. Talk about cheap television. I cannot stand that banal whooping and yelping that audience members insist on doing. It would have been nice to see Keith appear on a more reserved programme. I don’t watch U.S. chat shows of any kind, but wouldn’t Letterman or whoever else have been better?

Big Al..ya right mate..im the same its hard work trying to listen to someone been interviewed with an audience like that...even worse if theyre a rent a crowd.

What does that mean - a 'rent-a -crowd?

Palace Revolution..Want is a rent a crowd?..Heres a good example.The first couple of rows in the *Shine a Light* movie..ya know the ones standing there looking pretty in short skirts and smiling all the time..ya know what I mean.That about sums it up.

Rent a crowd ....

Kinda like getting gang of chicks from an escort agency
that screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem even though ya not screwing them
