Dear TheLoneRangerRidesAgain,
F*** off, you very silly person
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]
I've got a 3 year old granddaughter that is better than 06',07'.....and she doesn't play at all.
The OP just likes to stir things up with these outlandish half-baked scenarios--as if original core members would or could ever be replaced after 50 years! It's just tabloid bloggery, intended to instigate controversy over themes that don't really exist (like the Sons of Beatles).
In the U.S. years back there was this TV "personality" named Jerry Springer. Same idea. Perhaps you've heard of him--before he took to posting here under a plethora of names while provoking people with the same old fluff-ridden themes.
As much purpose as the ones that say," Keith is better than ever! Mick still performs like he is 25!, The Stones are better now than in 81'!"
Some of us, seemingly few, live in the known reality.
Also, I will admit, some people are kill-joys, but it's pretty easy to distinguish them from the (many) guitar playing fans with a critical ear. As a poster commented earlier, after acknowledging the shortcomings of the show, "I had a great time" it is possible.
I dealt with that backhanded compliment earlier in this thread.....
I believe that was andrew who is leading the pack, with one show to go, for the award "Best IORRer reporting live from a concert", I think it was one of the Toronto shows.
But as far as my question.... I meant with most everyone knowing full well that the OP was just trying to get people's panties in a bind, why not just ignore, versus actually give an answer? I wondered what was the goal to answering such a silly post when that will only lead to more silly/sad threads.
I know what you mean, but I think fans like you or I can ignore it, and it usually goes away. Flame throwers lose interest quickly. I like to roll with them, make a joke, and they get bored fast without getting a reaction.
Yes, it was Andrew, gave us a great play by play. Actually, likely the most believable and earnest review I heard. Personally, of the shows I've seen, all 89' and later, one sticks out as distinctly the worst......and I LOVED it, because it was the Stones, and I was there.
I have nominated Simon for "Best concert experience review" for his tale of meeting friends at the bar, all of them heading to A ROLLING STONES SHOW in Hyde Park, on a sunny day and not being overly concerned with judging exact riffs, setlists or etc etc... and he related that he had the time of his life.... and his story brought a big smile to my face.

I love the personal concert stories, and I really, really like heading the personal tales of how different people, got turned on to different albums and why. Age, time, surroundings......all are factors, and all remind me of when I got hooked.....happy times! See, we've hijacked this negative thread and made it happy!
I want the Keith emoticon to be official!

I guess they would say, The Stones cannot expect to pass The Beatles in the all time sweepstakes with Keith at his current level of play.
I don't really care how Keith plays anymore. I prefer his better efforts of course, but it is what it is.
And yet, he still gives interviews and talks about saving Mick's ass out there on stage.
Odd isn't it? Talk about it not being 1972 anymore, or 1982 or whatever. I guess even the "Keef" interviews, like the shows themselves, are an exercise in nostalgia.
He seems to do it at various times, at every show. Also, the show opener is an important song for setting the tone. I love him, I would just like him to pay better attention to the super important parts.
sounds like you have a lot to teach him about performing live and playing guitar.

Nice.....the funny thing is, I learned everything I know from him, so to speak. I'm not great, but damn, his timing for mistakes is terrible at times.
Talk about your favorite band.

Don't misunderstand me, I love Keith Richards. He is the ultimate rock 'n roll warrior, a real battler, the Brett Favre of rock 'n roll, and my hero. But it is obvious that his time has passed. I really think this Saturday night should be it for my hero. As much as it pains me to say it, it is time for Keith to lay down his guitar and let the Stones roll on. Not saying he couldn't be involved with the writing of a new album, or that he couldn't guest (in Mick Taylor fashion) but it's (sadly) time for the Stones to look in another direction.
It was painful watching both Joe Namath and Muhammad Ali at the end of their great careers. I am feeling the same thing with Keith. He should do the noble thing and step down after Saturday night and let the mighty Stones roll on.

This is silly. On the other hand, he does need to "play within himself."
On a side note, there are many ways to defend Keith, but saying he is better than 06' and 07' is not one.
But he is playing better than 2006-2007. It's a valid point.

No he shouldn't. Because the solution is quite easy: Keith should avoid any opening riffs and any solos that are not Chuck Berry-style like It's Only Rock'n'Roll. Ronnie could take over the openings. Ronnie and Mick Taylor could share the guitar solo duties. And Keith? He should lay a "solid rhythm down". No more, no less. It would work. And it would sound great.
But, most importantly: It would still be the Rolling Stones.

As much purpose as the ones that say," Keith is better than ever! Mick still performs like he is 25!, The Stones are better now than in 81'!"
Some of us, seemingly few, live in the known reality.
Also, I will admit, some people are kill-joys, but it's pretty easy to distinguish them from the (many) guitar playing fans with a critical ear. As a poster commented earlier, after acknowledging the shortcomings of the show, "I had a great time" it is possible.

I know what you mean, but I think fans like you or I can ignore it, and it usually goes away. Flame throwers lose interest quickly. I like to roll with them, make a joke, and they get bored fast without getting a reaction.
Yes, it was Andrew, gave us a great play by play. Actually, likely the most believable and earnest review I heard. Personally, of the shows I've seen, all 89' and later, one sticks out as distinctly the worst......and I LOVED it, because it was the Stones, and I was there.

No Keith, no Stones; and it's time for no Stones. That wasn't his scarf! Please. That's a wrong chord. He had one thing to do right all day. ONE THING. The first notes of the first song. That's all he had to do right. After the band came in he could relax. When you're charging that kind of money, when you're getting PAID that kind of money, you DON'T screw up! It's not an option. Scarves are no excuse, age is no excuse, living legend status is no excuse, there ARE no excuses. If you're in that kind of big-time situation, you NAIL IT OR GO HOME. That's the way it is.

I look at posts from this particular person (under whatever name he is using at the moment) the same as I would an eccentric uncle: Sometimes amusing or entertaining to the "family", but potentially embarrassing or irritating when guests are visiting.

RollingFreakIf Keith wasn't playing great this tour, I might agree with you. Actually, I probably wouldn't because you can't have the Stones without Keith, but your argument would be stronger if he sucked this tour. But sorry, he kicked ass and I have more fun seeing him have fun and kick ass than anyone else on stage. The guy has been through it all and he really is the coolest rock star out there. If he can still play like this, he stays in the band:Quote

No he shouldn't.
Next daft proposal!
Yes he should. It would be the noble thing to do. He could still guest and do his two songs per show.
OK, but what will the so called guitar experts around here say about this? One suggested he could teach a child to play the opening to SMU.
I guess they would say, The Stones cannot expect to pass The Beatles in the all time sweepstakes with Keith at his current level of play.

Ironic post coming now. On the last tour, I would have agreed with your unpopular opinion.
But from what I saw at Barclay Center in December and in many videos of subsequent shows I have watched since, Keith seems much more dedicated and focused than he has in many years.
This is The Stones at 70. It's the reality of the band. Take or leave. But don;t ask them to.
