QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteGasLightStreet StonedRambler, what do you mean by "pre-written"? Because that literally means before being written. Artists show up to recording sessions with written songs (Mick with Saint Of Me), written riffs and licks (Mick with Brown Sugar and YCAGWYW, Keith with Gimme Shelter and Live With Me, for two examples by each), written phrasing or hooks (K

As for who wrote what on Hackney Diamonds, maybe the upcoming documentary about its making will shed a bit of light on such questions. But you can bet it will be "politically correct" and none of them will be portrayed in a way that would make him look bad. I don't see why one should a priori exclude new songs that came about in collaborative writing sessions. There seem to have

QuoteStonedRambler Keith even replied to an interviewer that asked him if he also writes as much as Mick something like: "Being prolific don't mean a shit. I have three riffs and they are dynamite" Yeah, the three dynamiote riffs! Whatever happened to them we will possibly never learn. Not even, if they survived onto HD at all. I'm no expert in determining who wrote (
