Does anyone know? I recall Jagger was pissed and said something about nobody leaves this band unless they're in a body bag.

that's a keef quote

but didn't Jagger say something like

now I can hire that funky bass player down the street?

"who,s bill" quoted by jagger after he was asked during the voodoo lounge tour if the stones missed bill(wyman).

I believe Mick's public response was "We'll get someone good...a good dancer. Who knows, maybe I'll play bass." All of which was quite funny and mirrored his response to Taylor's departure ("I'm sure we can find a six-foot blonde guitarist who can do his own make up."). Of course, after hearing Mick's bass playing on A BIGGER BANG, I'd almost be willing to take him up on his offer.

i don't remember the exact quote but it was something like.......no big deal, playing bass for the rolling stones isn't all that difficult. i also seem to remember the "who's bill" line.

Come on, Keith & Charlie said in interviews that they missed seeing that "still-standing" guy on the stage. I think it was on Rock & Folk (french magazine) or something like that.

From a "band" point of view, the guy leaves the band, you can't moan and cry that he's gone. Mick has always been looking forward, that's why the Stones are still relevant today. Don't get me wrong, I do think Bill was a fantastic bass player and his association with Charlie made one of the bass rythm line in Rock, but he's gone and would rather play old blues/swing standard with his Rythm Kings...

I know Keith said "Nobody leaves this band unless theyre in a wooden box" after Mick T Left.

I still miss Bill's bass playing from the early sixties. (1963 on) The band sounded so mush tighter than. Still the best band in the world but they are just not the same without the Wyman bass! (And Brian) I guess I miss the chemistry that Mick, Keith, Brian, Bill,and Charlie had many years ago. (In ancient history)

RFK Stadium, Washington DC, Aug. 1, 1994 (eye and ear witnessed;-)

"There wasn´t so much talk about health care, since Bill left the band!"

Health care was a big issue in the US back then.

I recall an interview with Ron Wood just after Bill Wyman left. Ronnie said that Mick Taylor had been suggesting he return as lead guitarist and Ronnie get bumped to bass. Ronnie then said that it wouldn't happen but he thought the idea was interesting.

I was there too and I can tell you TooTough is right :-)

Must be something of importance he has said in all these years.

Mick also said something like they would just replace Wyman with a girl.

the ironic thing being that every deceased Stones member has actually died AFTER leaving the band.

As opposed to dying...

....and then leaving the band ;^)

I think he said now they'd have to remove "In Another Land" from the set list.

whats also Ironic was how pissed off Keith seemed about it. He really wanted mick T out of the band. And ron was really becoming a presence arleady at that point.
