I would love to hear the reaction of Keith, or Mick, if you told them the best thing about PM was Bill, and thanking them for reminding them how great Bill was. I would also like to see the looks on their faces before they sputtered and came up with some awkward reply.

Now the dust has settled a bit. Time has gone on, the world still is turding. And then there is Plundered My Soul. Hit the US Billboard top 200 and peaked at No. 2. The Stones are now the only act to have released a No. 1 UK Album and then hit No. 1 again with the same album 40 years later. Now this is classic stones that frustrates, exasperates, inspires, and captivates. Their grand opus re-released in a souped up version. The commercial circus that got everyone chiming in. A box set that could have been so much more! Was seemingly shoddily slapped together, yet brought Mick out of a creative hibernation by finally connecting with his past. But that same quest for youth had him tinkering with history! Creating a bridge to his youth.
So? What about it? How are you liking Plundered My Soul Now? The infectious guitar lick that gets your foot tapping and that slanted smile on your face. Yeah "they are back!". It is a great song and I hope they continue down this vein on their next album. How's it sitting with you all out there now the dust has settled?

pretty amusing how it fits the track - is that your own work, kleermaker?

Come on, kleermaker! You are the only one that interprets that interview this way

Well, fair enough. Still, you are the only one putting that kind of weight on Keith´s words in that interview. Keith has said great things (with THAT look) about many musicians. That goes for Brian and Ronnie as well.
When push comes to shove, I don´t think he is the vulnerable, sentimental guy you describe him as. To stay this long in the music business you need to be sharp, hard and persistent - qualities he clearly have that I don´t think have decreased after Keith came clean.

After Keith got clean (not so long ago) there wasn't any reason left to be "sharp, hard and persistent". The race had already been run at that time. During the race Keith couldn't do without the drugs and booze. That says enough to me.
Btw: he was right about Brian if he said he was great as a musician, and if he said Ronnie was good he was right too, as far as the Faces are concerned. But as far as I know from the reports here he wasn't very positive about Ronnie in his book. Well, the great art of weaving blah blah, let's take those quotes of Keith with some grains of salt. They had to cover the musical loss and Keith knows that (didn't he refer to the golden age as well?).

Didn't Keith invent this word called "weaving"?

'why? they never denied bill was great. bill left, they didn't kick him out' - Leonid P
They've always given faint praise, if any. I don't remember Mick admitting Bill was great. Even in Keith's autobio he still digs in with trying to get Bill's amp without having to take Bill. He said Bill played good with Charlie, not that Bill was good for the Rolling Stones. Keith has a bug up his ass about Bill, still. I don't think he ever accepted Bill was just as much a Rolling Stone as Keith was, where it really mattered, the music. Keith seems pissed that Bill wasn't a drug addict like he was. Keith compared Mick and Bill's tail hunting activities and said he knew Mick would be pissed to be compared to Bill. We know they were petty when they released the Rarities CD with Bill airbrushed out of the cover photo that he was obviously in.
Bill left after Steel Wheels. Like his bass playing, good timing.

i gave it a test by letting my father hear it. a man who is nearly 70 who for the most part does not use the internet and only listens to the early yrs of the band. and most important completely unaware of the exile re release hype. he actually refused to belive that it was a new song thinking that it was some lost b side
