…and Keith once said in an interview with Guitar World that if there’s no Charlie, there’s no band. But he did have a replacement lined up for the band’s upcoming post-lockdown tour, so maybe Mick, Keith, and Ronnie will keep the dates and call it a swan song. (Speaking of, Mr. Richards’ genes are even more resilient than we thought if he outlived Charlie!) https://variety.com/2021/music/news/charlie-watts-rolling-stones-drummer-dead-dies-1235047778/

barbecue at the folks posted:Robin Williams had a bit about the nuclear war, in the end all that is left of the world are three cockroaches and Keith Richards In the blasted hellscape that is the remains of the earth two billion years from now, a shadowy figure comes over the ridge. Keith Richards looks up from his place at the Last Table on Earth. He smiles as he reaches for his weapon. "It has finally come to this." says Keith. "Yes, we always knew it would end this way. There can be only one." replies Betty White. Genesplicer fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Aug 24, 2021 |

It's crazy how many og members of the stones are(were) still alive. Keith Richards is one of those people like, Sly Stone, who shouldn't have made it out of the 70s, but Mick and Bill Wyman are still kicking too. Ronnie Wood isn't an original member, but he was in small faces, which is an almost equally old as gently caress band.

I'm as big a stones fan as anyone but I'm pretty sure you can replace an 80 year old man with literally any drummer in the world and no one could tell the difference if they were blindfolded.

I would like if they kept replacing members as they die off and it turns into a ship of theseus paradox 50-75 years from now. You know, when Keith Richards is still somehow alive.

He was a great drummer, and his legacy in rock history has been secure for years. But at this point The Rolling Stones are background noise in the entertainment industry, so it doesn’t really matter if they replace him or if they stop touring. Anyone who ever wanted to see The Stones has had ample opportunity, and they haven’t made any new music in decades.

And that was in their "Farewall" tour in the early 90s. so why not just grab ...um.....who the gently caress is still alive from that era? Tommy Aldridge and Carmine Appice?

Genesplicer posted:He's been taking chemical preservatives his entire life. Wikipedia posted:Richards is a keen fan of shepherd's pie, a British traditional dish. Stuart Cable, the ex-drummer of Stereophonics, recollected that he was once confronted by Richards because he had served himself a piece of the shepherd's pie meant for Richards. The dish was also mentioned by Richards in his autobiography, advising readers to add more onions after cooking the meat filling to enhance the pie's flavour. chemical preservatives and the true secret to long life, shepherd's pie

Charlie Watts was a really good drummer and I'm glad I got to see him 3 times with the Stones. I had already decided I wasn't likely to ever go again (they do put on good shows, whatever you want to say, but I feel like I got everything I was going to after the third) but now its firmly over for me.

Nice! Glad to hear you thought they were good. I always felt that the tix were too expensive for what it was gonna be, a sad shadow of a once legendary group. At the same time, I've had mixed results for classic rock live shows. Springsteen was great and had the energy of a much younger performer. Bob Dylan was truly awful, but had a solid backup group of musicians. Anyway, RIP

I'm pretty sure Keith Richards is on the record saying most of the stories about his drug use were false or overblown but he never bothered correcting them.

Bob Dylan was truly awful, but had a solid backup group of musicians. Springsteen was so good that it made me a bigger fan of his than going into the show with 'yeah he's okay.' I had a similar experience where Dylan was so horrendous that he immediately went on my list to never see again. All three times with the Stones, it was never going to be quite as dynamic or daring as their older shows but they put enough into the performance so it always felt like it existed uniquely in the moment. Different rarities, guests, changing up the order of the obligate hits. The last show I saw, the extra players left for a bit and the core band all went up to the front of the runway to play acoustic songs.  Using Paul McCartney as a comparison expensive dinosaur act, he puts on a professional show that's good to see once and only once. He literally has the same show, with the same jokes, the same stories and the same stage movements at the same points. He swaps out songs but replaces them with ones that have identical 'fits' for the slot they appeared in.

The surviving Rolling Stones and Beatles should team up. Mick Jagger - vocals Keith Richards - lead guitar Paul - bass Ringo -drums It's too perfect, aside from them all being 80

Although I was there with 2 other people, one of whom got extremely drunk and was standing a bit behind me and other guy, and the next thing we know security is escorting us out with drunk guy having blood all over his mouth and a broken tooth. We were never sure if he was blacked out and faceplanted the floor or if the husband/bf of the woman standing next to him knocked him out for drunkenly hitting on his wife. If he remembered, he never told us. The couple of songs I saw were good though. sharknado slashfic fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Aug 25, 2021 |

The Stones have their place in history, but it’s probably not controversial to say they haven’t done anything truly interesting in decades. Which makes me think, what popular musicians continued to do interesting things well into their senior years and not just become a touring Greatest Hits act? I can think of Bowie, Cohen, and Cash. Maybe Pet Shop Boys.

Mulaney Power Move posted:Neil Young is always up to something I saw Neil Young twice. The one thing he for sure isn't up to is knowing when to end a song instead of aimlessly jamming on it for like 15 minutes past when he's lost the audience. Then doing it again for every single song after that.
