Hi!
I think this hasn't been posted yet : two weeks age, a german magazine (der spiegel) published a keith interview, and they asked him about the bumps on his fingers. He said "No, they don't hurt. The pain was only for the people to whom I owe those bumps. Those ten fingers still work fine."
So, I don't know which "people" he means, but I guess that it's Mick, as usual  |

Keith has rhumetoid arthritis and it tragically has substantially diminished his ability to play. |

I'm still very concerned, I can't say for sure if his ability has gone downhill or he plays differently. He impressed the shit out of me in 97, and has scared me at times prior to that. So who knows? We'll see in Cleveland. |

Heres what bugs me sometimes, the guitars sound way too clean. Remember in the 70's how there was some distortion and it sounded heavy? Well now everythings polished like a shoe, and the guitars have lost their edge |

but they cant be compared to the sound of the guitars on "Gimme Shelter" from '73, or "happy" from '73 |

duhhhhhhh that was 30 years ago, it is strange to compare things with a gap of 30 years!!!
don't you think? |

So what?
Who really even cares about the state of Keith Richards fingers? Kind of the proverbial moot point isn't it? |

mother b,
i would have thought most of us do even if for purely selfish reasons
i could understand your comment (sort of)if it was his toes
remember, it is thanks to those fingers that we are here at all
for keith to lose (even part of) the use of those digits would be a tragedy steeped in an insufferable irony - a bit like beethoven going deaf

Well # 1 Beetoven going deaf didn't stop him. As far as the fingers, what I meant by a "moot point" was that...well...it's hard to top the top. If it all stopped tomorrow, we've got forever to enjoy... |

That is true, but nothing, not one boot, beats a life concert, imo! I hope that they'll stay around a long long time, well anyway, we all picked the right band! |

i don't mean tragic from our point of view but his
deafness might not have stopped beethoven but i'm sure it would have saddened him beyond belief not to be able to hear music anymore and i'm sure the impact on k would be the same if he could no longer play - thankfully,that doesn't appear to be the case
