OK, good to know. Thanks for informing us. Looking forward to the "Mick Jagger Can Still Sing" thread.

Thanks for sharing the clip but as it a few years old it does nothing to showcase Keith's current capabilities...

And Slipping Away was written when, over 20 years ago?

Hmmmm, I am more looking forward to the "Will Chuck L. still play the keys at the final Stones tour/show" thread.

..are you sure?

Tells us nothing about his current abilities.

Painfull

Keith's style fortunately has always been about simplicity..

now it seems he's had difficulty managing even that, recently

except a few flashes of his sound glimmer through these random clips we've seen

like on the 'Promised Land ' effort

and on the rehearsal for 'Little Red Rooster'

but its both painful and hopeful to see..

seems its painful for him to play

Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself...

Indeed - someone at least is confused, that's for sure.

There are certainly some positive things to be said about the Vegas era Stones. It's a good show, really, in the final analysis.

But I am afraid we are (probably) past that now.

Well said "Send It To Me" This topic has to be talked about again. Keith's not stupid, if he's got problems with his fingers/hands he will get the best teatment he can get anywhere in the world.

You should have titled your thread "Keith Richards used to play guitar and write songs very well"..thumbs up smiley - UTTER RUBBISH, how can you even think Keith USED TO PLAY GUITAR, Ropeni

That goofy-ass mustache was sapping his strength in '07. It's gone now, so there's no worries. Rock on.

Oh boy. I want to say something nice and encouraging but I think I'll just blame it on Costello and his vocal meaning....

i was listening to Main Offender today....just sayin'...Wicked as It Seems is just killer....awesome riff...I'm sure he has more in the tank....

based on a 20-year album?

[thepowergoats.com]

...that kind of talent doesn't vanish...it may elude...but it doesn't vanish.

based on a 20 year LP that was mediocre at best....and i agree that "Wicked Ad It Seems" starts out great...as do most of the songs on Main Offender...but then they go nowhere...THATS where Mick comes in...

The talent of course is always there. The ability to use it is another matter.

We know Keith is self-willed.

He took drugs and lived life his way.

If music matters to him a great deal at this age, perhaps his will can overcome his physical issues.

How dumb are you? This clip is almost six years old, he can't sadly even play close to this anymore.

And please stop comparing Mick with Keith. Mick is still a top notch performer and Keith is not, he can hardly play a simple CB riff these days.

Can you remind me of what catastrophic event happened to Keith Richards in the past six years to disable him. This clip is after the bump on the head.

It's not good, regardless. It's just sad.

Sorry but that video of Slipping Away makes me sick. Another example of why they dont need more axxkissing and yesmen.
"You have the eyes of a child".
I get it, but its disgusting in that context and with that singing he's been exercising since 1989.

And please dont report me for saying this.

Do I believe in promoting positive "vibes"? Yes, I do. Report me for THAT.
