The solo career has its pros and cons, but I assure you that the band is a magnificent thing! Today every member of the Stones have solo careers, parallel to that of the band. Being part of a band is always an honor, but it's not easy.Quote

At the same time a famous guy from Liverpool named Paul McCartney was playing at the Paris La Défense Arena, I was there and enjoyed the show a lot like the entire stadium ><
After the concert I discovered this news with Mick in Paris and I dreamed about a duo surprise on the Arena stage... but unfortunately
Mick must envy Macca.
Paul is in control of his career, when he tours, records, choice of tracks. Only has to answer to himself. No baggage (ie other group members).
Lennon was right: Quite ridiculous for man over 35 to be still members of a'gang'. Time to move on.

Met Matt once at Madrid gig back in 2014.
Myself and a few other fans I know were in the Golden Circle area chatting, about half hour before the Stones were due on stage. I spotted Matt listening to the sound on far left when the support band or background music was playing.
Had a few drinks by then and went up to him when no sound was on and had a brief chat about the Tour etc. and he was very friendly and gracious even though I knew I really had too much to drink by then.
Matt and Mick are obviously good friends and just like all good friends, you just get on well together.
Probably similar thing with Ronnie and Ali MacKenzie from the old Birds days.
Also Charlie and Dave Green from his childhood days.
Keith probably has a few good friends but can't think of any off the top of my head. I know Bobby Keys was, but no prominent ones that you hear about.
As for Mick being envious of Macca.........or anyone else in this whole wide world, I don't think that is true at all.
Mick is the number one 'A' list celeb out of all famous people, and has been since the 60's .
I guess he admires a lot of people, but not envious.

Ronnie ; " I’m gonna go off to Paris and see Mick next week and see what his latest thoughts are after he’s got together with Keith."

I was there too, great show great set-list ruined by the awful echo surrounding the Arena .This place is definitely not a place made for music.

Waddy is a really good guitarist. Regretfully there is no place for him in the Stones. A pity since I really think he would have improved
the guitar section immensely. In contrast to Darryl who is totally misplaced.

The «after he’s got together with Keith»-part might refer to the studio time Mick and Keith had together recently..

Depends on where you are located as we found last year for the Stones. In the front it's perfect and I'd say that on the floor generally it's good, at least until about the mixing desk. I was just in front of the mixing desk on Wednesday and it was excellent, zero echo.

Judging by what Mick says in various interviews since he had 40 demos a few years ago, you know, he's always writing, prolific, loves making music etc etc, i recon Mick has like 140 demos now. The really good thing is that instead of co writing with crusty old Keith, he has the added luxury and bonus of co writing with the world accomplished and legendary Matt writer producer.
If Keith would just be a little nicer to Mick we got enough material for 4 double albums by the Stones without the need for any input from Keith.

Matt Clifford is there too
it's like they're lovers or something.....
Somewhere...and I can't remember where now...there's an absolutely hilarious quote from Matt from the STEEL WHEELS tour. He's talking about what it's like after a show and how Keith and Ronnie and Bobby hang out and listen to loud music while he and Mick go out to dinner and then watch a movie if there's something good on TV.
As to Rip This' remark, what it really is that they're close friends who write and produce music together. It's been that way for many years even though Matt hasn't always received credit.
