this is like comparing sex from one position to the other....nobody loses

i agree...for christ sake..both chuck and keith still rock..they have done it longer than most and they still do it better than any stars half their age...and they both do it because they love it and both have nothing to prove anymore..they both out lasted them all...they are both still the best....just put on any of their albums...

My wish would be that F U C would stick to the old albums and not bother commenting on the newer ones. He/she is obviousely lost in the 60/70s. Lost in the past. Thank God The Stones are still growing and developing as a band and as musicians.

So this all just goes to prove that drunks and old dudes can still rock!

Check out the boot of Chuck from around 1988 in Canada where he fires the band halfway through the set. Chuck don't want no impro-vising.

I'd rather see Keith Richards any friggin day at his age, with the Expensive Winos, or some Rasta based band from Kingston, than see Chuck Berry ~ no less with his band, The Rolling Stones. I saw Chuck headline a show at some club in NYC around "83 (the Ritz?) sowed up way late, way drunk, and did't do much for me. While I listened to his hits, like Sweet Little Sixteen, I was there dreaming about Keith or Mick singning the song.

Thank God Ronnie Wood opened the show! Mr. Wood improvised quite a bit, and bridged the gap nicely. They marquis should have read Ronnie Wood w/ special guest Chuck Berry! Ronnie, of course, spent more time rubbing his nose than reaching for the guitar chords...A successful evening for me, of course!

I don't know what you're really talking about. OK, A BIGGER BANG is a new album but ALL other albums are older albums in fact, the last one is from 1997 and that's EIGHT YEARS ago. I call this an OLD album. You can't be serious calling this "growing and developing". Look at the eight Stones years between 1964 and 1972 then think again about growing and developing. Or is it you have never heard the albums of that era? I only see Keith's fingers are growing and Ronnie's alcohol abuse is developing. I'm waiting for you fun guy calling the upcoming RARITIES the "best album since EXILE ON MAIN ST". Oh, maybe it's just the Stones growing their bank accounts and developing new business plans.

Was that November 1992 when you saw Chuck letitloose?....if so do you remember the support band Boozenblooze, I was playing drums with them. Chuck played for 40 minutes and even sacked his pianist on that gig cos he didn't play a slow blues the way he wanted.I played on that whole tour with Chuck and half of the time he wasn't even in tune. He never soundchecked either. The only thing he ever checked was the gate receipts.....Keith just about summed him up when he called him the most charming @#$%& he had ever met!
