keith in this tour only is playing the worst and infamy,
is very rare in him,
he can play alternations like before make me run, this place is empty and more.
i think is a message to mick( ?¿)
what do you think ?

What've you been' smokin'?!

Dope on a rope...?



ROCKMAN

yeah its called being lazy

It's also called mailing it in. There is no excuse for him to play the same lame two songs every night other than he is incapable of playing something else. It's a sad note to end off his legacy. I'm a huge fan but his song selection on this tour is lame. His posing and predictable banter have gotten old.

i'd rather he sing here we go round the mullberry bush and paddycake paddycake than the two lame songs he does now. it would be a 50 percent improvement!

I think that you don't want to know what I think, that's what I think ?

Good question Reptile, wouldn't we just love to know what our friend has been smokin' ??

I think that maybe that is all he can handle. I mean the guy is not only pretty up there is years but his Friggen brain is fried. You can't be a herion addict for god knows how many years and a full blown alaholic for 30 years and expect the guy to function that well. He is probably lucky he can walk . We know he can't talk . He has been saying the same thing in every city for alomst twenty years now. He is like a wind up doll. Just pull his string and he says " Good to be here. Good to be anywhere" Don't get me wrong I love the guy. But he has had it.

That's why Mick is dominating ABB - 'cause Keith has passed out.....

The set list from the show I attended in D.C I cut and pasted this from the IORR website. 1999 No Secrity Tour.
The set list:


Jumping Jack Flash
Live With Me
Respectable
You Got Me Rocking
Honky Tonk Women
Memory Motel
Saint of Me
Some Girls
Paint It Black
-- Introductions --
You Got The Silver (Keith)
Before They Make Me Run (Keith)
Out Of Control
Route 66 (B-stage)
When The Whip Comes Down (B-stage)
Midnight Rambler (B-stage)
Tumbling Dice
It's Only Rock'n Roll
Start Me Up
Brown Sugar
Sympathy for the Devil (encore)

Keith is the coolest when he steps up to the microphone and says ............
.........(nothing comes out of his mouth at all). I've seen that happen to him twice. He can do no wrong on stage.

now that's a great setlist lapey. i had a similar show in milwaukee and chicago that year!it was awesome.

While I sadly agree with your assessment of Keith's faculties to a degree...keep in mind that he's only been SINGING the same two songs every night, but he still needs to play guitar on 19-20 other songs.

It's laziness more than lack of mental abilities. If he was that fried he couldn't play 22 songs, let alone keep track of the additional 15 that have been rotated in and out on this tour.

It sure can be seen old BB´s gone for weeks.
So much crap people can write in a single thread.
With all respect... Please:
How many of you postin above here have been there, actually??

This goes back to the other thread of drug using.....

I don't think Keith and Ron constantly have been on coke and similar kind of drug since the 70'ies..... if they had they would have been mentally blasted by now.....

Everybody who knows a heavy duty drug user through 20-30 years knows there is little left in the brain/memory.....

Conclusion - I think all of them are somehow quite clean in sense of using drugs.....

Maybe you should read the Keith biography by Victor Bochris.

Bockris tends, at times, to be a little bit sensational.
But actually I believe noone here knows for sure.

These two songs are not bad.It's just that they don't go well together.

How about Connection.

Why are you so mean to him? He just raised an issue.

For a great insight into the Pathos we've to know as Mick/Keith check Bono's interview in the current issue of rolling Stone magazine.
