Well there you go. Absolutely normal. Somewhere somehow you know enough based strictly on what you hear. One of the problems with musican types is to not be biased. Can you hear it with a untamed ear? It can be a constant argument.
so do I,treacle...
but that doesn't mean we can't have fun at his expense. As long as we don't slag each other, right?!
you got that right. the guy is rich as sin. charge it to him!
I think Chuck Leavell plays beautifully on this one. Yes, he looks out of place with the rest of Mayer's band, but then I think he always looks exactly like what he is, a fine old southern gentleman.
And a great musician

Keep On Rolling
They finally fell out?
You seem to spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about me, my feelings, my childhood, etc. Oops, I see our time is up. We have to stop now. We've made some good progress today. Let's continue next week.
Sure?
I think that's very right plus what you said about the whole Vegas concept.
We like the other players better cause it was another band.
and to your point, i don't recall folks bashing chuck's playing on the '82 european tour
he was bloody good on that one he was.
Talk about your favorite band.

Chuck does a great job covering Skip James on his new CD.

Furthermore, Keith has always been the musical leader and if he says Chuck has golden fingers who can argue? peace
Well, we can argue, especially since 98% of what Richards says since the early 90's is utter bull crap.

As a non musician I can't really criticise how good of a player Chuck actually is, but from a non musician perspective I just don't like the sound he brings to certain pieces. Whether he's ordered to do it by Jagger or not. I would prefer to hear the songs played on a real piano like Stu used rather than keyboards. It gives the songs a more warm, rock and roll feel. Keyboards sound dated and very vegas. Maybe I'm wrong.

I cannot call myself a fan of Chuck. His playing sounds like being at a bar getting drunk and lose and trying to get attention of the tender. What gets me is his importance to lead the bar in the show. But without that lead in the beat the Stones would get lost in their own songs.

The Chuck-bashing strikes back again, after some rather calm years...
Like (boring) sociologists say the problem is structural - Chuck is there a hired hand who does his job as his bosses wish him to do. The problem is not Chuck, it is the whole structure. (Sometimes I also feel that Ronnie Wood also is a 'victim' of this structure; one cannot really judge his musicianship and potentiality barely looking at 'modern' Rolling Stones shows.)
So the deal is is: if you want 'Vegas' Stones, you need to have Chuck - or someone similar like him - on board. The show cannot go on without him. Unfortunately, at least from teh experience of some deacades now, we don't have an alternative for that - it is Vegas Stones or no Stones...
Anyway, this is most likely just talk of past (1989-2007), and I think rather old news.

Besides, comparing Chuck head to head to Stu, Nicky, Billy, Ian or whoever there was in the glory past is rather unjust. The whole 'core' band into where those guys were adding their contribution to was strikingly different. I guess Chuck could also play like Stu or Nicky if the guitarit(s) would do their job like they used to do. Chuck has a rather fundamental role within the band no other piano/keyboard player ever had (who actually really were just sidemen juicing and fattening the sound with their own distinguished touch, but never 'directing' it, or even dared thinking of stepping to Keith's shoes).

Dandie, that's not *Vegas stones'... it is some odd archaic raw prototype of that, which is created to promote a Vegas Stones tour... But it funnily reminds us of the little rock and roll band that used to exist a long ago... Of course, even they didn't take it seriously, but just had fun with the idea...

Looks like we are giving Chuck the blame for the fact that Keith and Ronnie don't deliver anymore. It's like the coach who constantly blames the ref for his team losing again. It's easier...
In fact the only two that have delivered at a constant level in the Stones are Charlie and Bill. And Charlie is the only one left. Mick has also delivered but his voice has let him down...
