Re: Keith Vs. Chuck Berry at age 62

Chuck is the master of the good rock'n roll song and and the riffs he made, but he hasn't done anything new since the sixties, except for Rock It from 79. Keith is still delivering songs, both solo stuff and with The Stones. Also he delivers brilliant guitar playing, both on tour and on records. I can't believe people claming otherwise, mind you if the have attended a show or heard the ABB.
But let us all remember this: Keith has never forgotten who he learned from. He constantly talks about his respect for Chuck, Muddy, Robert Johnson, Sonny boy Williamson, Little Walter and so on. He is very aware of the true masters of rock'n roll, blues, country and reggae. This goes for the whole band and have been proved on tours for ages. The last evidence was when I saw them in MSG. They had an absolutely fabulous presentation of Marley and Tosh during their cover version of their song. This is GREAT!
