Watts is no better..... a 7th grader plays as good. I know, as I started playing drums in the 6th grade, nearly 36 long years ago.....Don't believe it? Watch him as he tries to keep beat with his ride or highhat, and you'll see he can't keep a steady beat with such---he always lifts when he hits the snare with his other hand.....It's a choppy affair at best.
Mick (on a tour three or four years ago), when broadcast from Madison Square on HBO, couldn't hold a candle to the black chick that was singing back up with him. He tried, but failed miserably to keep up with her beautifully powerful voice. She literally blew him off the stage, so to speak.
What they (Rolling Stones) have is not an individual talent, but a group talent. That's what keeps them going, not how well they individually play or sing.

How fking stupid...Listen to anything Richards played on before 1970. Afterwards he might as well have been dead. The Stones after Altamont became Mr Showbusiness. Some people might argue that they were finished creativily after Exiles..but a good part of that was allready around in one form or another by 1970. After Exiles all U get is Dancin with Mr D....
The Glimmer Twins are really second rate creativily on their own they needed a Brian Jones or Ry Cooder to play off of. Most of the best Stones stuff Sympathy, Midnight, Gimme Shelter, Jumpin Jack, Cant Get ...were all written when Brain was in decline and his madness was permemating the air.
With a Ronnie Wood all U get is a retread of whats in the past. Mick Taylor at least brought technical proficiency to the gig.
It basically was the same with the Doors..Morrison couldn't even play an instrument, yet his presence inspired the other 3 to come up with a unique sound that was Jim Morrison. and without him they are hacks.
Lennon was the one who pushed Paul to Greatness.
U mention a Backup singer blowing a 60 year old Mick off the stage...I would hope so..
Listen to the "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" album.. and U will hear just how tight and meacing they were in their prime, when they played for Reals. Then lets see if U still think what you've just spewed.
