I'd love the other band to let Ronnie do Ooh la la at this summer's shows.

It's kinda funny to me that Ronnie has this bunch of musicians he can play gigs with outside of the Stones and Keith has the Winos..and then there is Mick whose live solo efforts always came across as kinda ridiculous to me...it's just amusing that the Stone who wanted to break away from the band the most, in the end is the one who is most dependent on them...I think if they had decided to stop playing together after Charlie passed away last year, that Keith could easily play small clubs with the Winos and Ronnie with his band as well...but Mick...idk...he needs the Stones because this is the only format I actually see him thriving in

right. It must have been a very bitter experience for Jagger to find out that he depends on the Stones so much and that all his attempts to go solo failed

Some good points in there. Or in other words, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Much greater in their case. Always was with the Stones. Keith and Ronnie could certainly fill clubs and small arenas with their non Stones projects but big stadia? I think not. To maximise appeal, they all need each other.

Outside of the Stones, Mick just seems to be more of a songwriter than a touring artist. I think it's a bit blunt to state that Ronnie and Keith are succesful solo and all Mick's attempts fail. I can't believe that's stil the narrative among Stones fans since 1985.
For example: Wandering Spirit alone sold more copy's worldwide than all of Ronnie's solo attempts combined. Same goes for She's the Boss versus Keith's discography. So what's the definition of succes?
Mick also colaborates with other artists now and then. Not any less than Keith & Ronnie I think. Dave Grohl, Arcade Fire, Superheavy, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, Sheryl Crow, Will.i.am, Bono & Fergie and in the past of course with David Bowie, Peter Tosh and the Jacksons.
I think it's better to say that the Stones are the only format Mick thrives in when it comes to performing live. When Micks sings with the Stones you're expecting those funny moves and weird facial expressions (his infamous Jagger moves) but when he jumps on stage with another artist it gives a certain vicarious shame (to me at least). But as a recording artist, I think he is more successful than all the other stones combined.

what a @#$%& post. As if he couldn't put together a band that could tour?...or that his one off performances at times haven't been brilliant?...Foo Fighters on SNL....wasn't that epic that he out performed a band that was like 30 years younger and 20x louder than him and yet he smoked that performance...or his collabs with others....what a tired old narrative.
just stick Mick anywhere....and that performance is almost certainly better...are the others even that versatile?....not to disrespect their talents either because all of them are incredible musicians...
If the Stones would quit Mick would just continue to play the warhorses on his own. That's basically what he did during his solo time in the 80s.Quote

A good, and very well-put point!

Nice to see Ronnie looking healthier than in the past.
Less gaunt and fuller in the face.
Hope his health issues are now behind him.
