Topic: Should Keith make a new solo record? Return to archive
13th September 2006 04:56 PM
Saint Sway not a Wino's type album. But something more along the lines of Dylan's Modern Times. Just a mellow, laid back Keith record. A couple ballads. Some mid-tempo blues. A country number or three.

I say it would be golden! Hopefully he takes a break from the Stones after this tour and drops some gold on us

glencar Everyone knows you're an idiot & all but this really is a superidiotic idea. Perhaps you really like all those Keith ballads on recent releases? Even his stuff surpasses Modern Times.

I'd love to hear something like that. Unfortunately I think Keith is pretty much spent as a composer.

yes. TPIE, The Worst, How Can I Stop, Thru & Thru, Theif... all good stuff

its real, heart felt, honest and - best of all - devoid of all of Sir Mick's awful pop stylings

being away from Mick and with the right producer, they could squeeze some quality, passionate songs out of the old pirate

and GlenCar, please remember, music is subjective. So I will tolerate your dislike of Bob Dylan and of Keith's ballads. I will even accept that you love ABB. Even if overtly poppy songs like RFD, SOL and LWTCDI truly belong on a Justin Timberlake album

Please dont be a hater. We just like different things. I like real, honest music. You like syrupy, poppy shit. Thats all.

now come here and hug it out

Soldatti I can't see to Keith making a new album, they tour with a year off maximum, so no much time there and, honestly, I doubt he could write 10 songs on his own for a new CD.

Mick's case is different, he could record a new album in a month or two with new all the technology and, the most important, he's full of ideas, good or bad, but he could write a song per day.

Before that you admitted it was subjective. I consider much of what you liek somewhat derivative & certainly slow-moving. I'm never quite sure why you bother posting here. I've stopped commenting on most of your idiocies but I do see an awful lot of swipes at Mick. Why don't you "hug it out" with him first & get back to me. You'll never be a great poster but it's possible you could reach lower mediocrity. But first, withdraw from political psots. Your ass is still chapped!

what you really mean, is stop posting anything that you disagree with. Surely you wouldnt mind political posts if they were righty posts.

Heaven forbid, someone on a msg board posts something that is of a different opinion, taste or mindset than yours.

thats a very unhealthy attitude to have. And if you cant tolerate it than you really need to step away from message boards, chat rooms etc... where differences of opinion are encouraged but needed.

or, as you so often eloquently put it to anyone that has a difference of opinion than you: "Fuck Off. Go away asshole. I'm done with you."

quackenbush Keith doesn't have to do an album of new songs. He reportedly has a ton of songs recorded. Why not clean those up and put them out?

Only if Rick Rubin produces it.

I, myself would prefer and am always up for "a Wino's type album."

Nice! With Bob getting heard or at least seen in the main stream right now, the timing would be perfect. Maybe even the mainstream would give the old man a chance. I hope someone else is thinking like you. Rubin??

yes. The time definately seems right for it.

I made my own compilation of Keith ballads and enjoy listening to it. Would love it if he put Apt No.9 or even covered some old standards like Bob did on MT.

and as far as producers to give him a good kick in the ass.... Rubin is perfect. He could do for Keith like he did for Cash. That would be ideal.

or maybe even... "Jack Frost" as producer

hmmm

You should post this on the Stones Deck at Shidobbee. Mark and those guys would dig it.

gotdablouse Well considering Keith only has 3/4 songs to show for the past 10 years I doubt he's got anything of interest in the can for a solo record, thinks Hurricane.

It's a mystery to me what happened to Keith after the VL sessions where he seemed to have songs oozing out his skin, even for B2B judging by Karnbach's list of outtakes, then...nothing, zilch, the guy is brain dead.
13th September 2006 08:06 PM
mrhipfl Yeah, I would love a new Keith record. I would want it to be very simple, though; more acoustic type blues/R&B. No distorted riffs, no wailing solos, just simple groovy rhythm and blues.
14th September 2006 01:16 AM
MikeyC613 Sway,

I love where your head's at. I would love some country/blues numbers. The man has an ear for melody and can avoid terrible lyrics much better than Jagger.

Have you heard Levon Helm and Keith's "Deuce and a Quarter"? Incredible shit. Levon's voice is so great, but then Keith comes in like a pasty Chuck Berry and fucking steals it. The guy oozes talent and just outright love for music.

Rubin could give him a good kick in the ass, but I'd love to see Keith really take the wheel himself and produce it alone, ala his work on "Hail, Hail, Rock and Roll". Just get Steve Jordan on drums, a couple more legit studio musicians, and some singers of his era with some balls/heart.

Keith Richards has an album in him that is better than anything Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan has done lately. It's whether or not he really wants to put the effort into it that is the question.

F505 Please no new Keith album. His last was one was already quite embarrassing.

Agreed.

In fact I prefer Keith's two solo albums to anything the Stones have released the past 25 years.

I was re-watching the Winos '93 Boston DVD the other day, and they are exactly what the Stones are lacking these days - heart, soul & kick-ass rock'n'roll.

A good kick in the ass is exactly what Keith needs, imo.
Someone to lock him up again and not let him out until he's come up with some good songs.

A solo album would be great once the tour is over. Not a big deal with "GITD" promotion and stuff, just a little side-project outside the Stones. To see how he can cut it out on his own after all this time.

Of course, my first and foremost wish is for another Stones studio album, with an ass-kicking producer as well. I think they need someone stricter and less laid-back than Don Was.

Sure it would be cool, but it would have been cooler if he wrote more than one Stones album in eight years. If he doesn't have the gumption for more than that in terms of Stones, I don't see how he'd have it in him to make another great solo record.
14th September 2006 11:13 AM
jb No..he has no ability to make anything even remotely worth listening to..he said it himself in "LOSING MY tOUCH", tHE GUY IS BOTH physically and creatively spent... hbe cannot even sing and play at the same time...he has emasculated rockers like Happy and BTMMR to ulmost unrecognizable parodie....same applies to Jagger who, w/out the Stones, is a verybaf pop musician.
