I am not criticizing Keith, actually praising his singing on this record, just pointing out
that no one picked up on this widened vocal range and mature peak this summer. It will be interesting to see
how he pulls off these vocals live, standing up with a guitar in his hand.
Naturally a lot of things are easier in the studio, but even though no one called it a "mature peak",
pretty much everyone remarked on how strong his singing was this summer. Mick's too.

Keith writes very differently than Mick. Prior to STEEL WHEELS, the Stones would jam in the studio for long stretches of time to get the right groove. I remember some Jagger interview in late 1988 in which he said something to the effect that if the Stones do another album, he wants it prepared prior to the studio, not written in the studio like all the previous albums. I think Keith needs the time to jam it out to get what he wants as were Mick maybe more concerned with a deadline and just wants it done. Yeah, i could be talking out of my arse but i think this is a valid point.

What about September 18.... Both Keef cd and Netflixx Docu.
Still wondering if the docu will be sold for the public on DVD later.

Keith is the man when it comes to song writing
The best stuff comes when he is ON
The best live performances are when he is ON
Jagger is struggling when it comes to writing
He needs Keith

I think, too, Mick is a stickler for trad song arrangments: verse-chorus-bridge, etc.
Keith is either incapable of or uninterested in adhering to forumula. Take "Nothing on Me." It's got an A, B, and C section, but none that you could readily identify as the verse, chorus, or bridge. ... Playing that tune on guitar yesterday, I thought, There's probably two people who could turn this into a song. One is Keith and the other (when he's so inclined) is Mick.

Yess,yes,yes! Mick´s way of song-writing is some kind of "writing by numbers", because he is not a musician in the sense that Keith is. With Mick´s songs you always know what comes next. They are simple because he doesn´t know better. Keith´s solo-songs are often much more "complicated" than Stones-songs are. At first listening his songs often sound weird, not catchy enough, you have to get used to them. Mick writes songs using his brain, Keith writes songs using his heart and guts.
Meanwhile I´ve learned to like Trouble a bit, but Amnesia for me is still difficult to enjoy.
