keefriff99I'm not THAT pessimistic, but Keith has spent several recent interviews talking about his new-found sobriety, and here he is sounding REALLY tipsy.Quote

keefriff99He also sounds pretty trashed in this interview...not a good sign.Quote

Oh god, WHY is he mucking with hair dye again?? He looks great gray.
Yeah and what happened to Keith saying all those toxins in the hair dye are bad for you. A change of heart, Keith's got something up his sleeve.
Maybe Keith's signed up for the life extension program that Mick's on, if he starts running either side of the stage during brown Sugar and Satisfaction it's a dead giveaway.
Remember to take your ear plugs for the solo's on SFTD and butchered lyrics in all the wrong places on Can't Be Seen, not to mention he will forget how to play the intro to SMU and Happy. Expect lots of glaring looks from Mick and Chuck will take over most of the Tatar work with synth keys, can't wait.
Maybe he just decided to indulge for one day for this interview, but it looks a bit ominous.

I care when I'm seeing them in a couple of months, and I'd like it to be a great show considering it might be the last time.Quote

Whats the problem.let the man have a drink to enjoy himself. There are far greater problems on this earth than Keef having a drink. For @#$%& sake.

I know a guy who bumped into Keith in NYC a few weeks ago, and he was taking sake shots so clearly the sobriety might be just a temporary thing
Look, we've all, as fans, been morbidly fascinated by Keith's decadent lifestyle over the decades.Quote

It's not funny but you can't help but smile.
Keith has a long history of confusing the idea of "going straight" with the exchange of one addiction for another.
If he stops drinking JD and starts guzzling Vodka and Orange instead...as far as he's concerned he's kicked it.

I don't care if he's having a few drinks while reminiscing about Talk Is Cheap. I just hope he doesn't keep the party going into the tour. I'm amazed he's altered his lifestyle as much as he has over the past few years...he's not 40 or 50 or even 60 anymore.

"There was no agenda going in," Richards said. "We just thought, 'Let's see what comes of this.… Playing with a bunch of guys I'd known for ages and always wanted to play together, more than just on odd sessions here and there, it all fell together so naturally, it was really quite a joy.'"
Translation :
by 1987 the Stones were kaput. Mick had scored a point with his solo career so I needed to catch up. So I did TIC. I lost quite a lot of dough with the tour and I realized my fame was not that big after all. So when Mick offered a truce in 1989 I said "yes".

This is so true-I love Keith,he’s the same dirtbag he’s always been.the guy could sell ice cubes to an Eskimo.
He’s got his groupies thinking that solo gig was a great success, it wasn’t.it bombed even worse than Jaggers.Hes got this whole 30th anniversary thing going for an album that peaked at #25 in the States.
I think Main Offender topped out around # 85 or something.
That band was about half as good as the New Barbarians and shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the Stones.
“I’m lucky to have been in two great bands”-ok, bro.
I have a friend who met him in the airport ,the whole band were getting off of a Southwest Airlines flight.
He needed that 89 tour,they all did.

I can already smell the hot breath of snipers lining up against you both...a quick and cold reality check is not everybody's taste... Take care, dcba and lem!
Lem gets attention by being a Keith hater, so always look to him to put the worst possible negative spin on anything he's ever done.Quote

I doubt that anyone, especially Keith, thought that his solo work would top any billboard hitlist or whatever. Of course it wouldn't. It received exactly what could be expected: good reviews, a moderate liking from a small selected part of the world, and very big applause from people who liked the Stones *and* Keith's songs on Stones albums. So: a big success all over.
Where's the problem?
Did anybody seriously think that anyone expected Keith to have the same kind of success as Prince or Madonna at that time?
I saw the clips, and I just see Keith as he always is: slightly incoherent. It's one thing that hasn't changed with him since the early 60s: he's not good in being the centre of attention.

I love Keith, I question the timing of this re-release
(I do remember Rocky Dijon saying this had been planned on the books, anniversary)
But it seems.... weird so close to perhaps the last tour.
And maybe that’s why new music didn’t get released/ Honk ?
But they don’t work together all year now do they.
Memo my CD’s in the mail,
should arrive right around tour launch.
