Thank god he just stood there and played bass. I think we was fading away during the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour. He'd probably made his mind up to leave and it was getting impossible to hear when you're on stage in a 100,000 seat football stadium, with twice as many musicians on stage than actual Rolling Stones. Timing was his strong point, and he sure knew when to leave.

It woulda been difficult being in a band where the principals didn't let you contribute to the writing or even direction of the band.
His solo career didn't actually 'flourish' either.
I wonder if there was some other way during those times that he may have found to release his pent up anxiety and energy?

Hasn't Bill really hit his stride with his restaurant chain?

Even in that case he was very inventive by naming the restaurant chain "Sticky Fingers" which I don't think Mick and keith ever have asked royalties.

Because you can't copyright a title.

3,000 Groupies musta helped with the pent up anxiety

Since he quit The Stones he has been nothing but bitter. Never has anything good to say about the band.

He never had anything untruthful to say either. They're not a better band after he left. They're playing the same damn set list they were playing when he split. It's even more about the show now instead of the music. The communication between the members is even more dysfunctional. Mick runs an even tighter ship than before. It's two decades later and it's still the same hack piano man and bass player. Bill's probably bitter that he missed out on the really fat money years. Doesn't he have a house in England, and a house in the South of France? To us he's rich. To him not as rich as he'd like to be.

He was cynical and bitter when he was in the Stones as well.
I don't think everyone was bitter because the Stones screwed up anything on this tour, Doxa. Most of us saw this coming. It was a bonus that he even did those two shows.

Okay, I guess most of their audiences didn't have any clue who Bill Wyman is, and of those who know I think quite a large percantage just have the "hallelujah" approach to anything the Stones do, since everything is "bonus" at this point.
Bill Wyman was no any "ron wood" during his time with his time with the Stones, but does that make him and his sayings any less important? Yes, he was (occasionally) "cynical and bitter" - see my post concerning the random quote of this thread - but is that the reason to ignore him?
