I saw last night the concert of Roger Waters, mostly playing the old Pink Floyd stuff. I was there with my best friend who is the "biggest fan of Pink Floyd world-wide" (more than 5000 LP's, CD's, single, DVD, ...). He's also always coming with me since more than 20 years to the Stones concerts - as I do for the Floyd - and I think it is a good deal between us...
So let me tell you something: if one day, one of the 4 (Mick-Keith-Charlie-...and maybe Ronnie too) leaves the band, the 3 remaining others have to swear there will never play any song of the Stones again ! Even if it is always nice to listen live to good songs, it is pathetic, miserable and disturbing to see good musicians (I think the one playing with Waters are ok) trying to imitate the original sound of the music we enjoy(ed).
So please, Mick and Keith, stay together, continue to write new songs (even if critics are severe), continue to be creative and then, when you are tired, stop everything related to the Stones, and you will never become "living mummies"...
PS: sorry for my English... |

The musicians with Roger Waters are better than the original members of Pink Floyd.
Nick Mason and Richard Wright are some of the luckiest musicians I know, they can't play anymore but are members of Pink Floyd, come on!!
Stones content: PP Arnold, Graham Bond and other musicians with Roger Waters are stones related in one way or another. Also Andy Fairweather Low, Snowy White and the sax player Norbert Stachel are great!

You are right, Gerardo, the musicians are really great, and of course better than Mason and Wright !
The only think is that Snowy White, Fairweather Law and the others are good interpreters, as classic musicians playing Chopin or Gershwin are, but I always prefer to see the original performers... as long as there are alive, of course. And I think Gilmour is irreplaceable, as Keith is for the RS... |

I dunno. I have the Keith Richards and the Xpensive Winos live album and I like the version of Gimme Shelter on it. It's wacky to hear Keith sing it, but it's great. If the Stones ever officially hung up their hats, I for one would be delighted if they played some Stones material if they were on a solo tour. They wrote the songs. They can play them whenever they want to as far as I'm concerned. And if they can bring something fresh to it or evolve the song somehow...even better! If I want the Stones version, I can put on a CD.
Cheers,
