I still say we're very lucky. Dave Bartram of Showaddywaddy (a few years younger than Jagger) is retiring from the band next month after 38 years as lead singer; he's still in great physical shape (like Jagger he's always been a fitness fanatic into jogging etc), but check out what's left of his voice... ...and here's how he once sounded:

Quotebv Posting silly posts like this will be the reason for being blocked out from IORR so that is the same as saying goodbye to IORR. No questions asked. And the reason? You are wasting our time, IORR is a place for Stones fans and not for very silly talks. Thanks for your understanding.

Quoteotonneau Eric Burdon, 2006: Burdon 2008, no problems with the high notes that I can hear! Not saying the arrangement is top - intro far too long, the whole thing a bit corny - but the pipes are still working fine IMO. OK, you win! He sounds great.

QuoteGazza 40% of their released songs have never been performed in concert. A quite staggering statistic for a band who have played over 2,000 shows and released over 350 different songs. I very much doubt if Paul McCartney has performed even 10% of his studio recordings on stage. So it's not too bad really.

His voice has held up better than pretty much all of his contemporaries with the possible exception of Cliff Richard (who was no Mick Jagger in the first place). If Mick's voice had deteriorated like Keith's then the band would've been finished by the late 70s.

QuoteGazza 'Stoned' was a song they just threw together to fill a b-side. They werent playing it around the time it was recorded (it was cut one week into their first UK tour) and they havent since. I'd be pretty certain of that. Actually I was thinking more of 'You Can't Catch Me'. Although not recorded at the time, it's (of course) an old Chuck Berry song from 1956, so I don't think it's
