TheGreekyou do realise that when you slam Bobby Keys that he invented the solo on Brown Sugar and so many other (such as the sax solo before Mick Taylors solo on cant you hear me knocking) ICONIC solos on Stones albums from the GOLDEN era ? What recorded contribution did Karl Denson make ? (by the way he blows some tasty horn no if ands or buts)Quote

Let the Stones play a 300-seats-club and you´ll see that they are still the world´s greatest R n R-band.
Karl Denson has a great sound, a very big, masculine rough tone and he´s a better player than Bobby Keys ever was. Even better than Ernie Watts who was noodling too much. Bobby was a friend of the Stones that´s the main reason he played with them. Now sadly he has to be replaced and they replaced him with a giant.
Add Live With Me, Sweet Virginia, Casino Boogie, Rip This Joint and other iconic solos

This has all been covered to death here and there is nothing going to change either Chuck or Darry's status as memebers of the Stones .The thing to remember is they are told what to play and how to play it by the boss (Mick ) and nothing is going to change that .My days about bitching about this are long over because it is a foregone conclusion that it is not going to change .As far as the setlist issue goes from what i know is that Chuck suggests songs to add to the setlist and anybody and everybody and there brother and sister knows that Mick is going to SING what HE wants to sing and play what he feels are the Stones strengths and bottom line is what ever he thinks PRESENTS the Stones in the BEST way possibile to present the material i.e. to the audience in the highest quality that meets his(mick) standards .Now having said that do i get off on going to see and hear the Stones live today and everyday that i have the luxury of being able to attend as many concerts as i can possibly go to? You bet your last dollar i do because nothing gets me off in a orgasmic bliss for 2 heart thumping chest pumping hours and everything else while i am breathing and living on this earth !

Maybe it's that he's TOO good. Too professional; he makes the Stones lose the edginess they had in the Ian Stewart era.

And there speaks a man who, depending on how you look at it, is either happy with his lot... or resigned to his fate .
A lot like myself if truth be told

The Rolling Stones no band anymore? The art is dead?
They gonna release TWO albums.
Their live concerts are still great.
There were times when their playing was much worse than now.
Mick sings great, Charlie is still thundering, Ronnie & Keith still do what they´ve always done but better than a decade ago. They aren´t dead yet.
Chuck ---> better musician than both Ians.
Daryl ---> technically way better than Wyman.
Karl Denson ---> what a sound, far better than Keys.
They are a great band with great backing musicians and they are still the Stones.

It's the Chuck Leavell show, featuring Chuck's special guests, The Rolling Stones!
He's horrible. Sorry - ban me, delete the post. He gives me nightmares.

Funny I was just listening to "Make No Mistake" and I was impressed by BK's soft gentle style. He was a hugely talented guy, not just Keith's friend.
So I regretfully have to label your comment "complete BS".

Just because they're going to release two albums doesn't assure they'll be worth more than one rotation. Their best releases of the Post-Wyman era have been old rhythm tracks he played on with new vocals.

I don't think anyone should be called an idiot for having different tastes than most of us, but it is totally baffling to me - and lots of others - how anyone could say Exile is full of filler while lauding Dirty Work. Makes me scratch my head...D. Jones over Wyman? My God, listen to live recordings from 1981 - just for one example and show me where Wyman's splendid, rubbery, hedge-hopping bass is inferior to Jones' monotonous thumping. Jones is probably technically better but..oh hell...I know this has been beaten to death here before....

I think I am an idiot in good company. The Stones must be fookin´ idiots to always replace members or tour-musicians with the most inferior and most unfitting guys they can find (Darryl/Chuck/Karl... let´s not forget Sasha, although she aint no guy).
It´s very sad that the Stones won´t listen to those fans who knows everything best. Maybe they also should have had their songs written by those fans, at least for the last three decades.

I think the tempo we get from Chuck is the difference. Chuck makes the song sound more drawn out and almost symphonic instead of the boogie woogie feel we got from the previous keyboard players.
Certainly the tempo has changed. Even some of the more up tempo songs are to drawn out.
Miss you is way to long these days. I'd love to hear it played the same tempo as 78 or even 81.
Darryl replaced the retired from the Rolling Stones Bill Wyman , Chuck replaced the dearly DEPARTED Ian Stewart, Karl replaced the dearly DEPARTED Bobby Keys .Quote

Denson is like Chuck :
he got the gig not because he's a great player but because he's relaible (doesn't drink or do drugs, will show up on time, will say "yes" to every suggestion thown to him etc etc). That goes with the band becoming professionals (1989-now).

Just about any guitar player on the planet is probably technically better than Keith. That is a completely pointless point.
