Tell Me :
Talk
I concede the general points, but surely your ears can tell the difference when Chuck is playing?
You may disagree with StonesTod, but under no circumstances are you to call him Shirley....and what do shirley's ears have to do with anything anyway?
What if his real name is Shirley?
Stuff like this keeps me awake at night.
Has he been set straight?
In 2007 it was Chuck and the Rolling Stones. On Sunday he came across a bit more modest.
as long as it isn't due to being aroused.
Why hasn't what not been discussed before?
mac would not accept if offered. i've asked him point blank and he has a big disdain for mick and keith.
chuck is the man and will always be the man as long as a man is required. long live chuck. he rocks and rules.
Why hasn't that not been done discussed here before?
I don't think this hasn't not been done discussed here or not anywhere before?
I dont not think that this has maybe never not been has been discussed with irrational exuberance, irrefutably.
Call me maybe
Hey maybe, how are you doing ?

Peter Palmer was also considered but he was too much of a pounder.

chuck is the heart and soul of the band. long live chuck. the best keyboardist they ever had...
are you trying to incite some violence?
no, but i'd like some insight into why there aren't more violins in stones music anymore...
seriously, though...chuck is an incredible musician...he can do anything mac or stu or nicky could...and more. that's why he's got the gig...pure and simple.

Chuck has never possessed that knowledgable abandon that Stu brought to playing with the Stones and he is not a near-genius in the vein of Nicky Hopkins.
He is a solid piano player but lacks imagination. I cringed when, on the Leavell website, I heard him playing a Ray Charles song. Ray was a genius and Chuck is not.
In his work with the Stones I see him as a "housekeeper working with the staff."
However, for whatever reasons the Stones keep him on.
I am rather dubious that he was Ian Stewart's eager choice to be the Stones keyboard man. I knew Stu and his standards were very high.

Chuck is a very good keyboardist, but whether he is suitable for the Stones is a moot point.
Chuck's work on Eric Clapton's 24 Nights, Unplugged is great; likewise, his work on The Allman's Brothers & Sisters, and Wipe The Window, Check The Oil, and the jazz funk outfit Sea Level, remains excellent.
However, the Stones material shows a different approach, which isn't always for the best. Ian McLagan is still about, so why not him ? Jon Cleary could also be a good choice, ditto Ben Waters, or Ivan Neville, but I'm afraid the Stones have settled for Chuck, and that is that.

Chuck's solo on HTW on Sunday was outstanding.
No, really.
It took me back to the days of BBC light entertainment in the 1950s.

spoke to chuck after the thursday night concert. what a lovely man - very warm and appreciative of the fans. took time to chat more than he needed to. no ego.
Look, I'm not sure about the keyboards on sympathy for the devil - but chuck has definitely helped the stones keep going and has been an important guy for the stones.
