Keith says very often, that he wrote the song, even when he only helped arranging a song, like sympathy, which was written by Mick, but he does not even mention Mick. Same with Street fighting man. That does not help me believing his comments.

QuotebiancaIt has got to kill Mick that Keith gets as much credit as he does. I don't know how he stands it. Hm? I don´t think that Mick gets the same credit as Keith. Mick is the one who gets very underrated as a songwriter. It has become en vogue somehow to believe that Keith is the songwriter and Mick is the singer/performer.

i don´t think we can jugde Mick´s or Keith´s maturity by their behaviour from 20 years ago. if Mick´s weakness were women, than Keith´s weakness were drugs and alcohol.

mick went solo to try and rid himself of the stones and he failed many seem to believe that, and i don´t know, why. i do not think one second that he wanted to rid himself of the stones. he wanted to make a solo record like all the other Stones did. nothing more, nothing less. breathing some fresh air. and looking at the sales, he did not fail at all. imo.

Thanks for your comments. To be sure I have always been quite critical of Brian's supposed leadership, or that the band was "Brian's baby" (that is a compliment from Keith Richards that is taken to be way too literal by many die-hard Brian Jones fans). I view the band more like getting formed from two components: Brian's willingness to form a band of which he had a sketch

What is interesting is the reasons for Brian's choice; why would he let these more 'better' players and real blues purists as Geoff go, and instead took a rock and roller like Keith in. What I have heard is that Brian wanted to have Mick, but Mick insisted that they will come as package (Mick and Keith). So to get Mick, Brian should let Keith in (and Taylor came as a bonus, I think
