This must have been on MTV back in the late 80's.
Mostly about the making of Talk is Cheap, also some cool rehearsal footage.

[www.youtube.com]

Kurt Loder sure made MTV credible. Also, BV should consider changing the Tell Me section to Talk Is Cheap.........><

I recorded this when it first aired on MTV back in 1988 and watched it constantly. I still have the VHs tape in my garage. Can't believe it's nearly 30 years old....

Watching this prompted me to play the album, sounding as fresh as ever 30 years on. Keith was obviously having a great time after all the hassles with Mick and the video clearly shows he's loving it.

This was great Spikenyc, haven't seen this for years , had it on VHS many moons ago.
It's always interesting to see how Keith works with other guitarists, Keith With Waddy was a great combination, better than with wood imho. Had the Stones not got back together i often wonder what sort of career Keith might have forged long term with the Wino's.
It could have been an incredible body of work by now compared to the lame Jagger inspired production of Stones albums since 89'

Absolutely. Wasn't it Jagger's call in late '88 that changed things?

Yes Keith was touring with the Winos and Mick rang him up, said he wanted to make an album and tour with Keith and the Stones . Keith said to Mick "what are you doing, trying to screw me up"?

It wasn't that out of the blue. Mick and Keith had catched up before that. Mick even visited Keith in the studio, listening to Keith's Talk Is Cheap-tapes.

I guess Keith was just joking a bit with the whole situation

Would you agree Dandi that had Mick’s solo album's been blockbusters there would have been no more Rolling Stones

Let's put it this way: I hope you're wrong, but you may be right

Had the Stones disbanded, Keith Richards solo by now would be a forgotten figure of the past, comparable to Mick Taylor. Without Mick he would have been as successful as Art Garfunkel without Paul Simon.

...lame Stones-albums since 89? Why is always Mick and Mick alone to blame? What prevented Keith from writing a series of great songs. How could he "create an incredible body of work" on his own when he´s obviously not capable to contribute decent material to The Rolling Stones?

When something goes wrong it´s always Mick, when something goes right it´s always Keith?

I think we're lucky they still are a working (yes working) band. Chuck Berry and the Stones putting out new material in the same year, I'm so confused.....

HMS has somewhat of a point.
A Keith solo career might have been a shambolic affair, with some increasingly irrelevant solo albums, some guesting on other people's records, a few ballroom tours and God forbid winding up playing casinos and/or sharing the bill with Robert Plant.
It possibly could have been rewarding to diehard fans like us, but I think him and Mick ultimately made the right career choice in getting back together and re-inventing the band as a stadium-touring, Satisfaction-playing monster.

Up to a point obviously I'm pleased they got back together, but had I realised the tours would be almost the same deal with the same warhorses since 89 ' I might not have been so enthused. Personally I wish they had carried on making more solo albums and got back together perhaps a little less frequently for Stones tours. I disagree with remarks that Keith solo would have ended up a shambles, Crosseyed Heart proves that Keith takes his music journey's down varied paths and quite possibly branched out further musically in the way of someone like Van Morrison or Bob Dylan. The fact of the matter is that the Stones haven't made a studio album for 11 years, to my mind Mick's to blame for that.

Since 2003 would be more correct, imo.

We got lots of new songs 1989-1998, the arena tour in 1999 with unbelievable set lists and the club/theatre shows in 2002/2003.

IMO it's ridiculous to predict "what if" scenario's if one really thinks them to be ironclad. I'm looking ahead to this year's new album and the Fall tour!!

Here's a what if; If a frog had wings would it still bump its' booty??
