It boggles the mind thinking of what could have been.
Tell me what could've been? Seriously?

From his latest interviews,you may assume that his role as one of the leaders of The Stones has diminished a great deal,the songs to be played are decided by Mick and Chuck,so, basically Keith just shows up,plays what he is told and goes home....Your opinion....

I suppose it is a good idea to lay these types of threads out here mainly to see who here is still an actual Rolling Stones fan and who posts here mainly because they have nothing better to do...

You are very naive, Naturalust. See, we live in the best of all possible worlds, and, in this world where all is for the best, Keef is the best of all possible guitarists. I don't get your point.

Keith is usually a bit more resilient than most people think. I doubt he's been diminished that much...
I'm afraid from a guitar playing point of view he's about 80% diminished.
Cue DP...

No. He's Charlie's guitarist.

Keith has been putting most of his energy into his solo album. As for the Stones tour song selection, Keith has said many times that he lets Mick choose the songs because Mick is the one who has to sing them. As long as Keith's favorites Midnight Rambler, Jumping Jack Flash, Gimme Shelter are played, Keith is Happy.

I think most everyone posting on IORR is an "actual" Rolling Stones fan.

"Complaining about his jacket colour..."
Guilty as charged (well, some jackets).

That is your opinion and my opinion is threads like this are good to gauge who seems to be here because they have nothing better to do than complain about a band they no longer enjoy.
I am still here because I am currently a fan of The Rolling Stones and this coming tour. I still enjoy this band and their music and if/when that is no longer the case I will be gone. I have better things to do than hang around a meassage baord insulting a band, complining about how they are no longer as good as they used to be or lamenting some band member who quit a long long time ago. I will move on to talking about current things I actually enjoy.
And indeed most of us are lucky that we will never have message boards written about us IF/when we turn 70, with people on them constantly nagging, complaining and insulting us... ORspeculatingstating as fact about how we will never again do what we do because our hands can no longer work...
BUT THEN KEITH COMES BACK AS GOOD AS EVER... but none of the nagging specualators ever post anything like "Well I guess I was wrong about Keith and his hands, he seems to be playing fine"... nope... they just move on to the next thing, complaining about his jacket color, or his glasses, or his posing or how mean he is because he won't invite back band members who quit 40 years ago, or they will nag and complain about this... or that... or the other... etc etc etc...

Who complains about the fact that they are 70 years old or more? There is no shame in getting old but "Keef" acts like he is still 24 years old. He is the one who doesn't accept the fact that they did age, actually.

For those who have not seen the recent Saitama video with improved sound, here it is - amazing quality as if pulled straight from the PPV original .

When I saw Keith pierce through the Jeff Beck-flash (as funny as that was) with his solo on I'm Going Down at the O2 Arena, I knew everything was all right – and that the Stones would carry on for a long time.
We should be grateful for all the activity they have put down the last 29 months. This is in reality their 6th tour since that comeback at the O2!
That's the Keith I want to see in July. Cool, calm, collected!!

I'm still waiting impatiently for the concert when to see Mick Jagger stand still and concentrate on the song.

He plays the twelwe-string? I bet that he is trying to run and jump a little anyway.
