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.
oh yeah like Sympathy, Live With Me, Fingerprint File, Rip This Joint Oh wait, that wasn't Bill. I have to agree with MHR No soul no desire in his playing. Just going through the motions in ever show. He even admitted he never like Stones songs. Can't stand the man or his playing. Glad your gone Bill. Stay that way.

Yeah, like Around and Around, Under My Thumb, Rocks Off, Miss You, Live With Me Live, Start Me Up, 2,000 Light Years From Home, No Expectations, Bitch, etc. Now go ahead and list your favorite Darryl Jones bass parts, the ones that add so much emotion, or propel the band. You know, the memorable Darryl Jones bass parts on Rolling Stones cuts.

I don’t get either. Hey can put on anything one hit wonder record and hear better bass lines. There is nothing special or creative about any of those bass lines. What did Kieth say all you need is two fingers and an a hole? Maybe he was talking about Billy boy

I cannot believe the shit being shoveled onto Bill Wyman. He was THE bass player for the Stones. Listen to his bass riffs live sometimes, always adds an extra zoom to the songs. This Darryl Jones guy may be a nice guy and may be an accomplished player, but he has nothing on Bill Wyman in my book. The guy is an icon and a stable solid player live plus his look always was a counterpoint to the glitz of Jagger. The Stones died in my mind when he quit. Its like they don't even have a bass player these days. Pure boredom on that side of the stage.

Rather pointless discussion going on here. It's a matter of taste.

"He doesn't play like Bill because he can't. Partly because he's not as good."
Maybe he is too good? Virtuosos may not always be the best choice.

Perhaps I should've been a bit more selective about it:
He doesn't play like Bill partly because he's not that good.
As in he doesn't play like that, doesn't play bass like Bill Wyman kind of "that".
Virtuoso? That means absolutely nothing. Figure skaters... they're virtuosos, right? At spinning, twirling, jumping etc. But...
You know how many people can play the guitar a shitload better than
Keith
Jimmy
Jimi
Angus
Malcolm

THOUSANDS! THOUSANDS of people can play better than any - ANY - of the guitar rock gods.
You see the point?

There's no accounting for bad taste.
Darryl plays just fine. He does the job. That's it. That's all he needs to do.
He doesn't play like Bill because he can't. Partly because he's not as good.

These opinions at just that. Keith, Mick, Charlie, and Ronnie obviously
like how he plays bass for the Rolling Stones. If they did not trust him or his interpretations of their songs he would not have lasted for decades. Their opinions are the only ones that matter about who plays bass in their band!I miss Bill too. I miss Mick Taylor but I got over it.

I like his playing as well so I listen and pay to see them live with Darryl.No big thing.

He is no slouch and plays several genres of music. He knows he is onstage with living
legends and keeps a humble and low profile. He does what he does and the band likes it. No need to stand out.

If Keith, Mick, Charlie, and Ronnie's opinions are the only ones that matter about who plays bass in their band PhillyFAN, then why give yours?
But since you did, it's great you like Darryl's playing and are willing to pay to see him, but not everyone feels the same and should be allowed to express it just as you did with your opinion.
Bob Dylan thinks they're not the real Rolling Stones without Bill as do others, and while I wouldn't go that far, I can see what they're talking about. They have a replacement that doesn't do the band justice.
Just listen to all their studio recordings since Bill left - nothing about the bass playing stands out or is unique, and it could have been played by anyone. It's bass-by-numbers.

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!’
Typical Keith and very funny response!

But he does stand out, on selected numbers like Live With Me, ER and Misz You.
It's the sound he's making that doesn't really cut it for me. Of course he's good, but it surprises me that he doesn't try a more distinct sound, like Bill had.
And he's not really into walking bass
