Redhotcarpet you have said in the past that Keith went back to heroin, some time in the late 90's. The only reference to that statement that i can remember was when Keith said in an interview that he tried heroin again ( a taste ) but did not like it any more. I think he said at the time that modern drugs these days are not anything like as good as the old days. I would imagine it was ju

QuoteTurner68 keith was hot in 1989. i remember half the reviews of the steel wheels tours spent a paragraph just talking about the sympathy solo. i think this sort of became part of how he defined himself as a player and now he feels he needs to live up to it. as a counter-example, ie. an area where he has adjusted to changes with his age, i would point to his singing which has changed quite

listening to your comments does help me to understand why Charlie is so important to the Stones. its very subtle and less is more with Charlie.. I think with all the Stones, as individual musicians, they are unlikely to be called the best in the world by other musicians. But for some reason, that no one can quite put their finger on. when they play together, something happens that makes them t
