I agree with Bobby Keys the Stones are defiantly Keith's band and the reason I say this is because it seems like he is the one trying to get things going again he's not off doing silly stuff like forming some group like Mick is hopefully Mick will come to his senses once this Super heavy thing fails which it will and get to work on Stones projects for there 50th anniversary.

It hasn't really been Keith's band since at least Dirty Work.

And that's WHY it isn't Keith's band.

And how strange it seems to be Jagger who has taken the lead on putting together and working on the deluxe issues of Exile and Some Girls.

As much I'd like to believe otherwise, the Stones probably haven't been Keef's band since the Sticky Fingers sessions. That was the first time we had song credits indicating no guitar parts from The Human Riff. Hell, he didn't even appear on Moonlight Mile. Very sad.

Jagger started to take things over when Keef got junksick, Keef never fully regained his former role, and here we are, 40+ years later. And therein lies the root of all the hostility between them.

Do you think that Keith is the person the mass audience remembers? As opposed to Mick?

There was a time when many people thought of Mick and Keith as "the glimmer twins" but that was when Keith was really playing.

Yes I believe the masses will remember Keith far more and longer than Mick!
Because Keith stayed authentic in his role as a rock and roll star.
Jagger has become a opportunist celebraty that will be forgotten soon after the Rolling Stones has broke up! Keith on the other hand will keep his reputation as a true rock and roller!

Been stoned since 1964 and still not grown up? Come on, all these stereotypes like Keith - authentic Rock'n'Roller and Mick - businessman and opportunist celeb belong in teen music mags. Keith accepts every buck of income from the Stones just as wholeheartedly as Mick or the other band members.

I dont think they will be remembered for anything they do right now, its the 60s, 70s and 80s when the story of the rock band takes place and its in the 60s, when they were a boyband, when they became famous. 60s is their mirror.
Thats why Brian Jones will never be forgotten and his name will always appear in wider contexts about the 60s, the art of being in a band, dying at 27, having the right girl, stardom, Morrisson, jam with Dylan and maybe appear in photos with Andy - and thats why Keith still to this day puts effort in rewriting history "it was Stus band, Mick has a tiny todger, I'm the authentic one in the band, Brian went to NYC to meet the hip clique and the chique". Because he knows he's a product of the 60s but he wasnt a rock star in the 60s but the 70s. It was Brian and Mick who were the stars and then it was Mick's band despite Keiths huge creations like Beggars, Bleed, Exile. Everything after the 80s is comeback-era, not part of history, not what they really are.

Keith is in for the buck and so is everyone who workes with or for the band. Bill would then be the only one who isnt, the only true rock n roller, the only one who's really down to earth. Digging for gold but still.

And vast majority of the people at the stadium don't care at all who is behing that drum kit and who is on bass. I am not sayin it's right, it is deffineitely sad, but that's just the way it is.

Then I don't understand why so many people are looking forward to Super Heavy to flop. I personally don't care about Super Heavy, but it is Mick obviously doing what he likes to do now, so why shoud anyone WISH him bad luck? He has a full right to do whatever he wants, just like anyone else at his age. I would be also happier if his activities were Stones connected, but if this is what he wants to do, okay, I 'won't go and buy the record, but still wish him good luck.
