well, the tragic aspect (from Jagger's point of view) is that all his attempts to put on a solo career failed (does anyone remember Superheavy?) and he had to realize that he depends on Keith Richards to find a (mass) audience.
Keith Richards on the other hand doesn't seem to give a damm how many people enjoy his solo stuff. It always seemed to be that he's fine with or without large crowds, with or without Jagger, with or without chart topping songs, with or without his music being played in discos/clubs etc. Therefore he's so much more relaxed than poor Mick Jagger…

"But from a purely musical and creative point of view, I found it strange. Why are we playing all these Stones songs? This is your solo career".


Yep, gotta agree with Simon Phillips - he has the integrity that Mick was lacking at the time.

Really? Keith sounded like a spoiled kid who had absolutely no understanding at all for someone else to do something like that. And all this nonsense about Mick playing this or that...come on. But when Keith did Stones songs on his tour it was ok because he sang it on the albums. Thanks for the laugh.

Keith is the biggest hypocrite when it comes to what Mick does as a solo-musician. People tend to excuse him for that when actually he does pretty much the same. I heard people thought it was funny when Keith threw insults at musucians who were playing with Mick. Well, it was not funny, it was mean and rude.

Keith never wanted to do music outside of the Stones. When Mick did it, it was a slap in the face to Keith, so he lashed out (albeit immaturely). So it wasn't being a hypocrite, Keith saw it as his only response, to do his own albums, as it looked like Mick was trying for a solo career.

Rick Rubin really pushed MJ on vocals on wandering spirit they are so good. I always thought the next great stones record would of been songs from Talk is Cheap and wandering. Mick wrote so many songs on wandering that would of been perfect for Keith's backing vocals and vice a versa for MJ on Talk is Cheap. On use me did
Lenny K wrote that bass line ? .

I was not talking about him going solo as such. I was talking about him throwing dirt at Mick in the media and dissing him for some of his ideas when later he picked them up and did the same.

... Then I went to the 1993 Webster Hall gig video. I was there and forgot that I am in the video near the front. Good times.
