It's really amazing how Keith can still play rhythm guitar so well with his rheumatoid fingers. It's not just playing, Keith also did a lot of work on important at zake. He even went to the studio at night.
Further regarding Mick, Mick also worked very hard to ensure that the new drummer Steve put down more varied drumming. Because with the Winos it was a very monotonous irritating sound. With all this, the band delivered a fantastic album.

He sounded especially good on Whole Wide World, imo.

Actually, it is unfathomable, it seemed like yesterday in the Netherlands that the Rolling Stones performed at the Kurhaus Scheveningen on 8 August 1964, it was their first gig on mainland Europe. Chandeliers and chairs were destroyed, they could only play a few songs. The gig was stopped. It was world news on black-and-white televisions. Charlie lost his drum kit. A Dutchman had later taken it home. Charlie tried to get it back years later, but the man did not return the drum kit. And now 60 years later a new album and their gigs are still sold out now. Wonderful going into winter and the New Year like this.

i just got done reading thru about 10 pages of this thread so forgive me for bring this up here
but as it relates to keith playing solos on this record i'm pretty sure he plays at least a few of the fast one (not that i've decided which ones yet mind you) and he is under the right circumstances still very capable of playing fast
bitch brussels 2022 2:12 - 2:38
gimme shelter berlin 2:28 - 3:02
if he's able to play like that onstage then in the studio with the ability to try as many times as he likes for as long as he wants (as long as he's done before valentine's day) i'm sure he could play as well or likely better
My sentiments exactly, Keith receives a very negative biased rap on this board, they try to rewrite history and now it goes so far as surmise that Ronnie plays the best/ fast guitar parts on the new album without it being a fact.
Last year Keith really shined on tour and Ronnie to be honest struggled, i get the impression a lot of regular posters, you know the resident trolls, discredit Keith where possible and it's continued through these past 10 pages of this thread.
I find it confusing as Stones fans to constantly take credit away from Keith while pouring praise towards Mick and Ronnie. It's fascinating to be honest, thanks for the clips, when you are actually at the shows the power of Keith still hits you hard when he's in the right mood, he's still inspirational even with those arthritic fingers and I'm sure he Kicked ass on the new album. although the way it's produced sound wise it's difficult to tell who plays what.

Do you know where the drum kit is now? Hadn’t heard that story

Woah, so Mick is teaching a lifelong drummer how to drum? Nice, a man of many talents.Quote

Agreed, I recently listened to Talk is Cheap and the production makes it sound like it's a solo album by a drummer. ...

Hopefully someone on this forum has the link of the article. Hundreds of different articles have been published since 20 October. I don't save those, but some stick in your mind.

I wouldn't believe that they didn't select the very best Tues for HD, and are saving some for a next album. I'm sure they would have given their absolute all to make the song selection on HD the very best of what they had.
That being said, it is encouraging if Watt also produced the other tracks that didn't make it to HD, as he seemed to get the band working (and sounding) far better than they have in decades.

... Great vocals from Mick. Where has this Mick been for the past how many years?? ...
Mick's vocals have been nothing short of stellar in recent years, check out SuperHeavy, Eazy Sleazey, and even Blue & Lonesome.
Bite Your Head Off even sounds a bit like Eazy Sleazey.
