they're one of the longest running and most successful writing teams in music history. They've created more memorable classic songs than i can even count.
Yep. Seeing them live is like a constant barrage of amazing hit-songs, one after another. Incredible. In particular the Steel Wheels tour: I wasn’t yet a huge fan at that time-just a casual one, and EVERY single song they played was a very recognizable hit. It really drove home to me the breadth of their back-catalogue…and got me even further into the band.
I think Keith Richards is very underrated, because Jagger is the frontman. Considering both of them, I think Keith is the musical genius of the 2, and Mic, a great entertaining frontman, and they compliment each other well.The combination of them both, makes the Stones. Just like Lennon and Mcartney. With Jagger, you put a couple coins in him, press the on button, and he's good to go for at least 3-4 hours.
Keith comes up with riffs, Jagger comes up with the melodies, lyrics, song structure, probably man of the chord changes. I'd crown Jagger the primary writer of the duo.
I don't think Keith as underrated at all. I think most rock fans know that in that run between 63-72, he was largely responsible for some of the greatest rock songs ever. Even Mick would admit that but Mick tends to undersell his own musical contributions. They needed each other.
@@TheBearBiffo Glad to know he's recognized, but Jagger gets all the attention, and title of Sir. I think they should give Keith that title as well. His other claim to fame, is that he has defied medical science, and his body keeps on ticking along, after all what he's put it thru. I'm glad fans understand the musical talent he has.
I've never found that anyone thought Keith was less than Mick, or in any way underrated. I mean... Johnny Depp even based his pirates character on Kieth. That's anything, but what happens to ppl that r underrated. 🤷🏼♀️ Also, Mick isn't just the front man, don't underste him. He oversees all of the bands financial affairs. He's also a genius at marketing, and those lips 💋, the stones trademark, are his lips, even if someone else drew them. ☺ And Paul and Lennon where nothing like Mick and Kieth, because their band didn't stay together and they went permanently solo. Mick and Kieth still have their band in tact. Totally different ppl.
Always loved these two and the band but Keith's book was a massive betrayal. You think Mick couldn't throw him under the bus in a tell-all if he wanted to? If it wasn't for Mick the last 40 years, Keith would be a while heck of a lot poorer. Imagine if Mick let himself get in the same shape Keith is in?
@@TheBearBiffo Mick fizzled at his solo career in the 1980s. Mick was never going to be as big as the Stones. Jagger was smoking heroin when he met Jerry Hall. The Stones are done when Mick or Keith are done. It's over after that. These guys approach life very different but are great when it comes to writing music together.
@@LexwellLavers The solo career of either of them is irrelevant. If Mick hadn't taken care of the touring and sponsorship and all of that stuff while Keith had transformed from a junkie to a drunk, there would have been no mega tours. Basically they have been doing the same tour every few years since Steel Wheels. Without Mick staying in shape to be able to work those massive stages, those tours don't happen. Last two I saw, which were on the Bigger Bang tour, Keith's playing, due to arthritis, was inconsistent to say the least. Not the case with Mick who delivers every night.
Never heard that one.....but interesting idea. Sylvester Stallone painted his windows black to keep him focused on whatever he was writing. Hmmmm. I guess it worked.
As long as they are happy with their song output, and we are getting our satisfaction too. You could call that an none issue. Thank you Glimmer Twins.🤯💥🥴💥🤯💥🥴🤯💥🥴🤯💥🥴🤯💥🥴🙈💥🥴🤯💥🥴🤯💥🥴🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠

Yes and not like the Beatles in the last few years. It wasn't confusing the difference between a Lennon, McCartney and Harrison song ,but after years of listening to the Stones it still is to me .I guess It's the sound of pure unity . 😎
@William Thompson What ever the Beatles discussed fell on deaf ears . Rather than communicating ,the Beatles just quit. The Beatles are the greatest quitters in world history 😎😛❗
If some scum bag had not shot & killed John Lennon, they would have had a much better chance of a reunion until George Harrison died in 2001. According to McCarthy, he & Lennon almost went on Saturday Night Live for like $1000 when it was offered to the them by Lorne Michaels as a joke. I can easily have seen them reuniting for a couple of charitable causes like Live Aid, or Live 8. But some scumbag had to cowardly stalk, & shoot an unarmed man in the back for no reason!
Now I know this might sound simple here. Two friends writing a song together is kind of like a sing along. One time I was at an outside bar on Key West. There were several other guys there. I played the Stones song: "Heart Breaker, With Your 44" ( ref: Goats Head Soup album), on the juit box at this bar. One guy smiled, and sang along to: "doo, do, do, da do Doo", and all of us sitting at the bar joined in. It's a sing along folks, just follow the bouncing ball.
There are actually nine combinations, crudely: 1. Mick words and music. 2. Keith words and music. 3. Mick words, Keith music. 4. Keith words, Mick music. 5. Words and music together. 6. Words together, Mick music. 7. Music together, Mick words. 8. Words together, Keith music. 9. Music together, Keith words.
The "four combinations"? RR = Richards melody-Richards lyrics, JJ = Jagger melody-Jagger lyrics, RJ = Richards lyrics-Jagger-melody and JR = Jagger lyrics-Richards melody. I bet they're mostly JR.
Rock star hair -- Mick definitely has ROCK STAR HAIR - you had to have it back then - McCartney also had it and so did Elvis, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey -- where as the following did not have rock star hair - Simon and Garfunkel. Elton John
Brian did it to himself and this was over 50 years ago- it's not like we were there every day - just look at later footage of him he was wasted all the time.. nonetheless a sad tragic thing 😢

@@waynecameron4579 Yeah, I'm sure you're an expert when it comes to _intelgent_ women... Watch "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" and look at Brian. There is the real reason why he was told to leave, in combination with his difficulties to get a visa for the upcoming return to international touring in the US, that was absolutely crucially necessary to keep them alive, financially. When you're too messed up to be in the Stones and contribute something _- anything -_ anymore, you're too messed up to live.
of course, we have our cup of tea together. very often, when we meet in the studio, keith already has set up the teapot, and me doing the sugar in. if the milk is missing, keith goes for it. then each of us turns the spoon in the cup and we look for the chords. we don't use any teabag twice. after all we choose who will be responsible for the washing up. that's a normal day in the studio.
