One thing I have read is that while it might have been midnight before the Stones all turned up together, they would still put 8 hours of music on tape and come away with something good.

My how times have changed...these days they can put about 8 minutes of music on tape maybe twice a year, and only some of it is good.

LOL, I don't think that bothered him at all
Because no one upstaged Keith at what he did, or had a remotely similar playing style at that time.

Do not pretend not to understand DP
Speaking solo, of course Mick Taylor did upstage him.
Intolerable.
Light should only shine Keith.Quote

That's just one part of guitar playing. And not even Taylor upstaged Keith on his style of soloing. Yes to both styles, I'd say. It never was a competition.

Can't imagine anyone else but RW in the Stones.
Oh come on! To the casual music fan, a face-melting guitar solo is ALWAYS going to overshadow the rhythm player.Quote

Is it really important, Bård? In the end the fun-factor is all that matters to me, be it Richards, Taylor, George Benson, Django, Segovia or Fernando Sor.
Segovia, variations on a theme of Mozart.

For instance, die-hard music fans may know that Malcolm Young was actually the driving force behind AC/DC and the superior rhythm player, but Angus running around and soloing is what the vast majority of people envision when they think of the band.
The delineation between lead and rhythm was much more pronounced during the Taylor era.Quote

Is really a 10-15 second solo making or breaking a 5 minute classic song? Keith was never a traditional rhythm player like Malcolm, though. And Angus has 5 cool solo licks he plays again and again
