Hairball
I met Keith briefly in Stockholm, Sweden.
He smiled and said something unintelligible to me, I smiled back and looked him in the eye trying not to act confused. I shook his hand and thanked him as if he had just bought me a pint.
He said something else and smiled (could have been "gold rings on ya" ), I smiled, we said goodbye, and that was it.
I never mentioned the Stones, never asked for an autograph, never asked for guitar advice, just a simple hello how are you, thank you very much, and goodbye.

I'm not exactly impressed with the way you handled a slightly inebriated Keith lol. You should have said something like what's this I hear about you letting Mick pull all the shots these days. Mind you he might have given you a Kerby kiss so just as well you didn’t . What did Keith look like Hairball, it's those eyes that made me freeze, I just mumbled something about him being my hero and he mumbled something back like eehmmahhahe mate, and that was that . I felt a bit of a tit and moved on briskly. My brother had a long chat with him after I was out the way, he said it was his best gig of the tour and that he was going to do all he could to save the Town And County Club. As it happens he did just that.
It always pissed me off that I forgot to get an autograph off him. I'm 6ft 2" tall and was surprised how small he was, he had a tiny frame too. Still my brother got him to sign Main Offender and his Winos t shirt so happy days.
Here are the heights of each Stone, at least as publicly listed:Quote

I'm also 6'2" and yes he seemed very small. I noticed the same with Mick after seeing him up close at several club shows during the Licks tour...they both must be about 5'6" (or 5'7") and skinnier than hell.

Mick: 5' 10"
Keith 5' 9.5"
Charlie: 5' 8"
Not sure of Ron Wood offhand, but Bill Wyman and Brian Jones were each 5' 6", and when you see early photos of the band, they are both noticeably shorter than Mick and Keith.
It's important to also consider that they grew up under the food rationing of Post-War England, an environment that was unlikely to produce physical giants.

Jack Nicholson is 5' 10" and in this 1985 photo they look about even:
Ringo is 5' 6" so you can see Charlie is a couple inches taller:
Shirley's boobs are better...Quote

I dunno...appears that Jack is looking down at Keith, and Keith's shabby hair makes it hard to judge.
As for Ringo, his head is tilted sideways, and he's standing further back so not a fair comparison perspective wise.
Well, okay, his head is tilted sideways, but his shoulders aren't. A good two inches shorter.Quote

I've been hugged by all of them and they all seem to be about 5'7".
Okay, look at this photo, and check out the shoulders. Keith is just a half inch shy of Mick, Charlie next tallest (or shortest), then Bill, then Brian. Note the differences between shoulders.Quote

Keith has shrunk since

Then maybe this thread should be temporarily closed, as all the focus is currently on Mick Jagger and Gotta Getta Grip/England Lost, with no signs of anything happening with a new Stones album.
What else is there to talk about regarding a new album anyways? No new info. is coming in, and the possible release date has been changed to 2018.

As one of those being scolded for participating in the friendly conversations above, I just thought you might like to see what the gist your most recent ON-TOPIC post actually looks like.
I suppose I should just drop out of this thread so as not to ruffle anyone's feathers. See y'all back here when we have something more definite to discuss -- in 2018.
That's his first wife, Maureen.Quote
Hairball
By the way, who might that lady be with Ringo in the above pic taken c. 72/73?
She looks familiar, but I know Ringo eventually hooked up with Barbara Bach around '79.

Yeah well I wasn't referring to me alone in my reply either, but speaking for everyone else who is biding their time by adding to a thread which by all intents and purposes is currently dead..or at least gasping for breath.
A bit of harmless posting in between important updates can't hurt anyone. Important updates such as:
"There is some more news.. Keith recently said they are going back in the studio very, very shortly ..."
Wow thanks for that!Quote

No don't drop out yet stonehearted - there's still the intense debate regarding Mick and Keith's height vs. Phil Spector, Ringo, John Lennon, and Jack Nicholson in comparison to Bill, Brian, Ronnie, and Charlie.
It should be noted that Darryl isn't as tall as he may appear on stage either...I'm guessing 5'11" at the most.
Chuck Leavel...hard to tell as he sits most of the time behind his piano, but something tells me he's very short...probably 5'5".
