Don't know if he can still play or not, but it looks like he doesn't want to play the guitar anymore. Let him just sing and hire Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton as deluxe replacements.
Actually, it would be great to see Jagger, Wyman, Watts, Taylor, Beck wouldn't it?
All of them have some connections. They should invite every guitar player that played with the Stones at some time, Taylor, Clapton, Beck, Jimmy Page ...
Hey, I am 52 years old and I'm doing some things better than at 20 and I don't practice atletics.Quote

Don't know how old are you but if you are more than 50, you can't do the same as when you were 20. We call that LIFE!
plenty of musicians play better at 51 than at 20. plenty of people do lots of
things better at 51 than they did at 20.
athletics is the only thing that everybody does better at 20 than 51 (although
in the case of jagger, that would still be a close call. his athleticism at
a disciplined age 51 was still amazing. even versus his undisciplined age 20 self).

As I posted on the video thread - Expressing an honest, informed opinion is not "bashing". We are all fans. Keith played 10 times better blues on the first Stones albums than he does today. It saddens me to see this BECAUSE I LOVE THE MAN. I'm willing to bet that he is also sad and frustrated that his skills have deteriorated to the extent that he is below beginner levels now. And that is a fact. I am very happy that Keith is still alive, if not exactly kicking. He has been a huge part of my life since I was 10 years old (I'm 58 now). He has given me tremendous joy through all those years. I'm just sorry that he can't do it any more. Again, I'd bet good money that he's even sorrier.
Totally agree, after seeing this it´s clearer than ever that he just can´t do it anymore, those of you here that don´t understand that probably don´t play guitar. Keith is having very big problem with his fingers and coordination, it´s obviously great to see the man on stage but those of you that more or less demand him to go on a tour with stones one more time, just forget it. He played really bad sometimes on ABB and now he playes even worse so i really hope they don´t do anything more. It´s enough now, we have been spoilt by the stones with big tours and concerts all over the world for many years, but many people here seem to think that it will go on and on forever. It wont and i for sure don´t want too se Keith like this on a big stage making a fool of himself, would be terrible.

There you have it. For their legacy, it probably will be better not to tour.

This has been one hell of a thread. Those of you getting caught up in the whole rock vs blues thing... You are missing it. The problem is that Keith can barely play the blues, not that his guitar work wasn't showy. No one is expecting a sympathy solo on Rooster. We were all hoping to have our fears put to rest and that simply hasn't happened.
They do not need to tour.
They need to play one final show and make it the biggest concert in history. Keith can play sitting down. Let Taylor and Wood cover solos. It will be great. He can still play, just not like a young 60-year old!

argument rejected. muddy waters' association with hubert was very brief. and wolf was already a legend long before his association with hubert. hubert didn't really have that much of an impact on the wolf in terms of his contribution to the idiom. and yeah, muddy and wolf were pretty damned influential...that's not the argument.

Look, there is a simple and very elegant solution for the "Keith problem" on guitar. Bring in Taylor and you have three bona fide Rolling Stones guitarists on stage. You simultaneously fill out the guitar section while also paying tribute to 43 years of the bands' legacy. Keith could lay back a bit and not have as much pressure to carry the band. Far better than Blondie or Jeff Beck (ridiculous) or any other solution.
