"At one rehearsal, I figured out what Bill had played on Respectable,
and I started playing it, and Mick was like 'Where are you going?’
I said, ‘Well, this is what Bill played on the song’ and he said
‘No no, don’t play that. Play what you hear.’
Unfortunately.

Yes. Still my guess is that he's basically in it for the money. I prefer Bill or a similar player. Darryl is a jazz player, very good but not for the Stones,imo.

I doubt he could “copy” Bill.

He's pretty much had the same answers for these interviews since joining the Stones

Why not. What’s so hard about playing his bass lines. Nothing. Bill is not a Billy Sheehan Just basic at best.

That's like saying it's easy to play like Keith because he's not Yngwee Malmsteen or Steve Vai...nothing hard about Keiths playing...it's basic at best....
While those shredders are technical wizards at guitar playing, a few important gifts they lack are some heart, soul, feel, and overall vibe - things that make Keith (and Bill) unique. original, and as great as they are.

I would say that is a truism or a cliche: Just because you are technically good at what you are doing you lack soul or feeling. Try that in another trade: Federer is a technically brilliant tennis player
so therefore he probably lacks soul or feeling in his game. But the guy ranked 822 probably knows the inner soul of tennis...

So Darryl quite naturally fits in with Charlie! They play well together, IMHO

Keith is brilliant on rhythm guitar and in a band setting.Steve Vai could not play rhythm like him just like Joe Satriani didn’t when he was with Jagger

Bill never played with soul or heart. Just root notes with an 3rd or octave added. Pretty lame player. Glad he's gone.

Your poor ears. The exact opposite is true. Bill could play one note and give a song emotional depth. Darryl has no emotional depth in his bass playing.

I asked Keith, ‘Hey man, did you play bass on this song?’ and he
said ‘Yeah’. I said ‘So what’s the bassline?’ and he was like,
‘I don’t know, man. You’re the bass player, you tell me what the bassline is!’
