So happy for you guys and also happy for Keith who had a bad night last show because he wasn't well. That would have been a disappointing end for me personally. I just can't believe the Stones can bring a show forward just like that at a days notice and everyone still turns up show time. Proves how special and resourceful Stones fans are to change travel plans and hotels just like th

QuoteStoneage I'm pretty sure these "reviews" are all written by The West Coast Under Assistant Promo Man. It's promotion, nothing else. I and many others agree with you on some level Stoneage, but it's hard to be harsh on brave men still delivering this show to the World at their ages. If we are honest we see that Mick is moving at a snails pace comparred to a few

Quotebv Quite funny knowing Mick's rather light meal standards. Considering the calories Mick burns up in training and performance, i imagine he has to eat a fair amount, at his age protein would be a priority, so plenty of meat.

I'd like them to do a tour of Arenas, that's where this band deliver best, with the passion they are showing right now and the sound Keith's guitar is making, he'll blow the lid off the roofs of the strongest buildings.

I'm not so sure Stoneage , the reviews are fair up to a point, back in 2017 they sounded pretty tired and the music wasn't really rocking. Now with Keith raising his game it's completely different these last half dozen shows. I've just listened to this whole gig and with Mick and Keith moving less we are really getting a strong sound, this is high powered stuff and it's

After Keith’s set we decided to explore the stadium to see the sta

Conflicting impressions about Keith's performance again, I have a theory as to why myself and others feel disappointed in Keith while others thought he was great on certain tracks and his two solo numbers. I think one problem is we compare a 76 year old to his former Glory, of a time when Keith was an incredible force of nature. Keith clearly has trouble with those fingers and the extr

Think too much attention is being given to one instance in 57 years of playing together, Keith has always shown love and respect for Charles.

From 78' to 99' I'd say he started going backwards about 93' 94' I think he is better last year and this year since the 50th anniversary shows in 2012 so who knows, if he keeps on going and does a solo tour straight after this and makes another solo album we could possibly see Keith get as good as he was in 2006. Anything is possible with Keith. As i have said many

A myth is that Ronnie helps Keith with his guitar parts, Ronnie doesn't play a single note of Keiths throughout the tour, what Ronnie does do now is play the right amounts of Ronnie parts. He's interlocking and weaving with Keith, this is what Keith has always wanted from Ronnie, it's nothing new, Ronnie is exactly where he should be on songs like GS and BS etc, if you go back
Forum: Tell Me

I've always got the impression Ronnie has been the most replaceable core member of the band, with all due respect and i don't want this to sound like i would prefer another player to Ronnie at this stage, but someone like Waddy Wachtel could replace Ronnie after a weeks rehearsal with the Stones and do a very good job alongside Keith as we have seen with the Winos.
Forum: Tell Me

Ronnies doing a great job but no more valuable than Mick , Keith and Charlie, Ronnie is paying us all back for those lost years where he played under the level he should have for many decades, he might feel this is his time to repay the Stones for their loyalty and the fans for their patience.
