FreeBirdYes and no, respectively. Do you really believe there's a silent majority out there actually liking Chuck's playing? Are you playing devil's advocate? Or do you like him yourself?Quote
Gazza..an incredible assumption to make, in both cases....Quote

And of course there's a difference between fans and casual concert attendees. I maintain that it's safe to say that the majority of actual fans don't like Chuck Leavell.

Chuck is really a GREAT pianist.
What is really wrong with him is his ATTITUDE. He just has an anti rocanroll attitude.
Just remember his blog during the Bigger Bang tour: BORING, never a hint of rock or roll.
He plays well, he is just not cool, and this is strange in the Stones entourage.
Obviously he is there because Mick needs him.

We may talk about Chuck leavell, but as I see it he is in may ways the musical director of the band. He does the musical arrangements on many songs, sets the tempos, the pre-recorded bits and click-tracks. So if you like Stones post `89, Chuck is the man you should praise.

Obviously i won´t expect all the execess of previous decades but you can have a cool attitude towards music and life even if you are only drinking mineral water.
You want some examples: Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts, Ian Mc Lagan, Kenney Jones, etc
Come on man!!! This is The Rolling Stones!!!!! We need a little touch of class, coolness, excentricity,far from normal people....
You know what i mean....

Mick and Keith showed Stu's importance for them by showing up for the tribute gig and remembering their old friend, oh hang on, that never happened.

I believe that most people couldnt give a shit who plays the keyboards, quite frankly. And that most of them would barely be able to notice the difference.

Yes they did. In 1986.
