    better than Keith lmao
  2. Keith can barely move his fingers anymore. I am a guitarist and a huge Stones fan, and I've observed over the last decade or more that Keith's playing has taken a huge turn for the worse. I realize he's old and has arthritis. He's still Keith fucking Richards, but Ronnie props him up a lot. Mick is actually a very good rhythm guitar player.
  3. I think Keith put in some good performances in 2019 however, 2018 was better for him.

    Do you think the guitar in the song is played by Mick at all? I thought it was Grohl's guitar and Mick just mimics for the video.


  5. They will! :-) I'm rooting for an end of 2023 release - but I'm an innate optimist
  6. I lost my U2 optimism when I got all hyped upon reading this:



    But then reality happened:

  7. It’s already been longer now since SOE was released than the gap between they 2 albums. Although that was supposed to be a follow up album. But it did take less time than has been the norm since after ATYCLB. I think late 2022/early 2023 is realistic for the next album.

    Unless they do a 2016 and prefer to promote a 30 year old album rather than work on new music, yeah.
  10. Even if they do I suspect the album release wouldn’t be effected, they would probably just tour early to late 2022 then release the album and tour that in 2023.
  11. U2 will not release an album until they can tour. I feel like 2022 the touring market with be flooded with artists making up their cancelled 2020-2021 tours. So I agree, U2 will do a late 2022 release, followed by a 2023 tour.
