Love him, but the truth is Bill was/is nowhere near "25% of the Stones magic".
Maybe.. back in the early days his percentage was higher, but as we have come to see.. very replaceable where-as none of the others left are.
I do miss his dancing.

I'm worried that Mick's demos are like 'Vision of Paradise', 'Gun', 'Joy', 'Sweet Neo con', 'Everybody getting high', 'Dancing in the starlight', 'Look what the cat dragged in' and all useless Superheavy stuff!
Fingers crossed!

Ronnie is only irreplaceable because he's straightened his act out and he knows the repertoire. I imagine he's had to kick it up a notch to make up for Keith's gradual fade.
Bill is only replaceable as far as the live stage goes, where you're lucky to hear the bass, much less distinguish its finer points. But on a live DVD? Forget about it. I can listen to Bill and enjoy his performance alone. Wyman and Watts made the floor Keith played from. Where Bill is REALLY missed is in the studio. The bass used to be an important instrument in the Stones. Now it's just a mediocre background thud with no emotional notes at all.
I know Bill isn't coming back. He's made that clear. But the Stones seem ear deaf to replacing him with a Stones level replacement, instead of a hired gun noodler. Gee, maybe Keith can interact more with Darryl, but how cares? Bill was his equal and didn't need to.

It starts to be irritating. Reading posts like that more than once, I for one have to say that I would not be less worried to have demos like those CROSSEYED HEART songs for a new Rolling Stones album. Adequate enough for a Keith solo album, nonetheless to me it would be far from satisfying for a new Rolling Stones album.

Crosseyed Heart is a lovely album.
But seriously - you are only now starting to get irritated by posts like this?
Many a Stones fan who also happens to enjoy the role of Mick Jagger in and outside the context of the Stones either left this board thinking it wasn't worth posting much or they simply hang around and browse occasionally and post rarely
The echo chamber effect took over this board a long time ago.

I thought they played four songs from steel wheels - sad sad sad, rock and a hard place, mixed emotions, and can't be seen.

Irritating?!
I only mentioned some Mick's awful songs. And it's the same with Keith's 'Losing my touch' or 'Infamy'. It's your problem if you like that useless stuff!

But you onesidedly mentionned only Mick's songs, almost as if it would be satisfying to everybody else to have a whole Rolling Stones album consist only of CROSSEYED HEART-like songs, even if it possibly might have suited you.
Myself, apart from "Gun", I quite like the listed Mick' solo songs as solo songs, different from Mick's Stones songs, giving a variation. In addition, "Look What the Cat Dragged In" to me is not one of the best, but still good A BIGGER BANG song. And I am one to hold "Sweet Neocon", even if a moderate song, but better than its apparent rumour, to have some "harsh" quality that suits the lyrics of a song, which in my view has some importance.
I gladly take that alleged problem as my privilege and would not have reacted the same way if you have included those, obviously fewer for you, Keith numbers you find "useless" in your language.
