I get the feeling from reading posts here that Mick and Keith aren't really close anymore, and possibly not even really friends anymore, and haven't been for a long time--Why is this? If this is true, what led to the break down in their relationship?

I think Mick nailing Anita was the start. :whydontcha

MICK NAILS ANITA
KEITH BECOMES JUNKIE,CAUSES MICK ENDLESS DIFFICULTIES
KEITH GETS CLEAN, FINDS THAT MICK IS AUTOCRATIC ASSHOLE
MICK FINDS THAT KEITH IS IMMATURE & BOORISH
AND THE TWO,FUELED BY ASS KISSING LACKEYS, FUED PETTILY EVER SINCE.

Poetic in its pithiness!

People change.  Are you still friends with people from high school?

Probably not.

If it weren't for the band, I don't think they would even speak to each other again.

They are like the opposites of each other, I think they will always remain friends, but distant from each other, Keith's book didn't help matters none.

Sunny?

They drifted apart - it can happen in any long-term friendship.

I don't seem to recall Keith being at Mick's parents' funerals, or vice-versa.

Even though they live on opposite sides of the ocean, it seems that with their resources they could have rather easily been there for each other.

They were childhood friends, for cryin' out loud.
They had to have known each others' parents.

They "are" still very close.... People may talk, and he and Keith may slag each-other now and again but guess what...

Those two are still "best friends" (and will continue to be at odds with each other as long as they exist...every here and again). Mick Jagger is still Keith's best friend. Keith Richard's is still Mick's best friend. *Who did Keith send his book to first?? ... =Mick Jagger.

They may not see each-other every week... but they can get together one on one and pick up like no time has elapsed. I have a best friend as well that I do not see every week. Some times long periods occur and we don't talk. Once ...because of an odd rift I did not see or talk to him for almost three years and when we got together it was like no time had past at all. Same is true with Mick and Keith.

As you get older best friends sometimes see and hear from each-other much less than when they were young. Each has their own lives and each obtains new friends throughout in which they pal with. However, it's a given they still have that odd bond that only exists with those two. Same is true with Mick and Keith.

Just because they don't pal around with each-other every day doesn't mean much. For what-ever it's worth they have been spending time apart when they were working on select projects since the late sixties.

Keith was asked point blank a few years back to describe his relationship with Mick. Keith said "It's a very deep friendship".

They are not talking all the time but they get together and it is like no time has passed. For example... during the ABB sessions it was just Keith staying at Mick's house for a month with no other musicians and not even Don Was yet.

Would you have someone living at your place for a month if you didn't really like the person?... no. It would of went up in smoke... but they got along fine, recorded the album, and went on tour for basically two years...

They are still best friends... even though they don't talk all the time...


Ian

Gosh, I'd like to believe that Ian.

Maybe the truth is somewhere between best buds and antagonistic acquaintances.

Ya simply can't write songs, record albums, go on international tours, do press conferences, and make movies with someone who is simply a  "antagonistic acquaintance" to you mate...

An "antagonistic acquaintance" is someone who badgers you at work... who you don't really care for not someone you have to sit down and write songs with. Remember they have been sneering each other since the eighties... how on earth could they of done all they have since the mid eighties and not really liked each other?

It has never happened in the history of music. Maybe a tour ... or two... maybe an album or two but otherwise we are talkin 25 years here. How can you make albums and tour with someone for 25 years and not really like them?

This situation has never occurred concerning that much productivity, over that much of a time frame with any group in which two of it's main members didn't like each other....

If they were to split Would we have songs Like "How do you sleep" or pictures of insects screwing? :blankfriggingstare1

They have a deep bond, and that will last as long as they live. Maybe friendship is no longer the right word for it....but they are bonded forever. For sure.

Going for a PhD?  Write your doctorate on their friendship.  It would be a doozie!

Not many people would be on speaking terms and have gone through what those two have together and yet they are still friends on some level.  Not as close as they once were from what Keith says in his book, but there is something still to it.

I think the 'We can't get divorced' is closer to the mark than 'we're friends' is and has been for a quarter of a century at least.

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

The Kinks managed to do it - and the two main members were brothers!

Daltrey and Townshend have long had a pretty fractious relationship - its probably only really repaired when their fellow band members died and they were the only two left.

Fuck even Ringo and Paul don't see each other anymore...

For 30+ years!

Come to 2011, John and Paul would of NEVER been as close as Mick & Keith.

But I'm talking everything collectively not simply albums. How many singles... how many gargantuan tours? (not to mention tour rehearsals ) A couple movies... press conferences.... everything. We are talking spending ALOT of time working together... side by side. Your right Rog and Pete didn't care for each other entirely and I understand your point... Mick and Keith tolerate each other more than they could through the eighties.

No they are not so tightly knitt as they used to be. It is decades later. As you get older you spend less time with the people you really should (he he). But still through all the spats and things they are bonded more with each other than anyone else and they still care for one another quite a bit. Maybe like Mick says they never argue they just disagree. hahahaha An odd opposite pair those two are.


Ian

Um..the studio material for Stripped was recorded in five days.


>Yeah ... I know.... that's not much being as it is 25 years. But I'm talking everything collectively not simply albums. How many singles...

Huh? Theyve spent a lot of time working on singles in the last 25 years? Have I missed something?

You're seriously counting press conferences? Things that last about an hour every four years?



>We are talking spending ALOT of time working together... side by side.


Over 25 years? No. We're not. Really.

something they dont do anywhere near as much as you believe - but thats another discussion

> rehearsing a tour, and traveling around the world in these year and a half long tours with someone whom you really don't care for would be extremely difficult ...especially time and time again.


Its not difficult if you're only obliged to see them for two hours at a time on about 60 nights on a year when they happen to be on these 'long tours'. On any tour there are more days when they dont have a gig than there are that they do have one.




>I know you never said this, but if the two really didn't like each other much that notion would be extremely hard to pull off ESPECIALLY with how big those two's ego's are. I can't see it.

Thats fair enough. Well, partners - yes. Maybe its like having a long distance brother whom you only see every once in a while. You're bonded together, even though you may not be close.


>Your right Gazz... I should of stopped and thought more before typing that. However in the examples you gave their ego's were not on the same playing field as Mick and Keith.

With respect, how can you say that with any degree of authority? We dont know any of these people.

It's a natural evolution really. When I was younger my gang or pals were the most important thing to me. As I aged and you have a family and so do your friends you drift apart for so many reasons. Mick and Keith basically spent a continuous 15 years joined at the hip and created magic. Now I think they both know there are no more rabbits in the hat.........

We got another rabbit coming. I don't care what anyone says we love them fuckers.  :aimama

>Yeah ... I know.... that's not much being as it is 25 years. But I'm talking everything collectively not simply albums. How many singles...

Huh? Theyve spent a lot of time working on singles in the last 25 years? Have I missed something?

No I m just saying. They have released singles. Jump On Top Of Me... High Wire .... Don't Stop ...plus the other tunes on Forty Licks (not to mention Sex Drive etc.). I know ...your taking this as a literal conversation... which is fine in many topics. But I am looking at the big picture on this one. They write together, tour together, rehearse together... etc. etc. Much more with each other than anyone eles. Sure they are not closely knit as they once were. This is a different era. They are older now. Still though ... There is a bond in which Mick Jagger knows Keith Richards and Keith Richards knows Mick Jagger better than anyone. They are in a sense "stuck" with each other but to contrary ... if it came down to it... they would have to admit they would rather be stuck with no other person.

Remember in Forty Licks when Mick and Keith were separated and then when the band was to reconvene Mick came in and Keith was there. Mick went over to him and they shook and swung each others hand and laughed and grinned at each other as in saying "yeah ...here we go again on another one". Mick then purposefully sat right next to Keith on the couch. He did this it looked as if to say "yeah we are different, we had our fights, and we may have more, you do your thing and I do mine but you know ...it's all good. Your still my side kick and I'm yours".

>how many gargantuan tours? (not to mention tour rehearsals ) A couple movies...


what movies? Their movies are filmed during concert tours and then put together by other people afterwards!!

*I'm just saying they have been involved on projects together. Talking in the same room, talking to each other... you know...

>press conferences.... everything.


You're seriously counting press conferences? Things that last about an hour every four years?

Well yes because they are involved in it together guy. Picking each other up and laughing about. Putting it together with the rest of the band and their people. Again I am not looking at this in such a "literal" sense. I am looking at the big picture. The being they are in a band together. They have shared the same  house, the same studio, they eat together etc. etc. They have to like one another.



>We are talking spending ALOT of time working together... side by side.


Over 25 years? No. We're not. Really.

-Your right in that they are not ALWAYS buddy-buddy. They have their spats on tour and off but they work through it. On BTB recording and tour they were not seeing 100% eye to eye but you know they played their music and worked it out.



>I know you never said this, but if the two really didn't like each other much that notion would be extremely hard to pull off ESPECIALLY with how big those two's ego's are. I can't see it.

Thats fair enough. Well, partners - yes. Maybe its like having a long distance brother whom you only see every once in a while. You're bonded together, even though you may not be close.

-No wrong. Mick and Keith are very very close. Too close. So close they are like man and wife or something?? So close that only they know how each of the other ticks and they get under each of each others  skin like nobody can. Still they are close.

I got a call from a female friend last night. She is moving. I don't talk to her much but we used to see each other all the time and hang out all the time. We were close and we still are. We don't see each-other but once every few years, we may even go a year without speaking but we are still "close".

Same is true with Mick and Keith.


>Your right Gazz... I should of stopped and thought more before typing that. However in the examples you gave their ego's were not on the same playing field as Mick and Keith.

Geesh... we don't have to guy. Ask anyone that has been around them. I don't mean they are "mean", "snippy" or think they are "above" everyone in saying they have ego's. I mean they are too proud at times and never expose themselves. They walk a proud line is all I meant and they will not show their inner self or want to be the one to give in. We all know that. Look at them. Ask people who know them.


Ian

Jump On Top Of Me wasnt a single, Ian.

It was a non-album b-side cut during the Voodoo Lounge sessions.

The only non-album sessions the Stones have done in the last 30 years were 5 days on Stripped, a couple of weeks to do the two studio songs for Flashpoint and two to three weeks for the four masterpieces that padded out Forty Licks.

They have no head to head contact at all on film projects. Shine A Light was a Scorsese film. Their concert movies are directed and edited by other people.

You are really shitting on Ian's Corn Flakes.

Gazza shit's anywhere.

I don't know anyone who has been successful in a band for a long time with their best friend/s and hasn't had that friendship dramtically altered... it's truly a love hate thing... most artists can't even stand themselves, that's why they abuse drugs and booze and have sex lives that are like roman orgies. If you really think about it, step back and look at it, Mick and Keith are close, considering everything after all these years. Despite our want of more albums and a new tour... that's just my 2 cents....

I don't think Ian see's this relationship, as a job and co-workers.... which is what it is. It's just not a 9 to 5 gig... and the pay is really good!

Sorry I don't feel as though Mick and Keith dislike each other...

Call me crazy... but for two people who dislike each-other so much they sure plan alot of outings together... and guess what ...these outings start with them... They aren't brought together by others it starts with Mick calling Keith. They meet, write and record an album... rehearse a tour ....and go on year and a half long jaunts around the world every three or four years...

Sorry I don't feel the two dislike each other... Mick disliked Allen Klein... Keith dislikes Elton John and some reporter it seems...

That is more realistic. Lets see Mick write and record an album with Alen Klein. I want to see Keith tour for two years with Elton John.... it couldn't happen it was a feasible reality.

Is it a "love-hate" thing like pdog coined it... kinda but now-a-days the hate thing is more a big irritation verse any hate...

Do they dislike each-other deep down? No... they care for one another because they have that bond. Is their relationship perfect .... well no. Well all know that... But do they actually "dislike" each other or whatever? .... come on...isn't that a bit over blown and over stated...

Keith was asked it point blank a few years ago.... his answer was it is a "very deep friendship". What more does one need? There's your answer right there. Nuff said...

__________________________


You didn't. Some folks opinions indicated it without really "saying" it is all. I understand what your saying. I think the meaning of the "closeness" they have is the main issue here. To me being "close" to someone means is if their is a sort of "bond".  I don't base it on the amount of time two people spend together so much. I don't base it so much on if they are consistently talking to one another on a regular basis. We all know that during Rolling Stones off time Mick and Keith don't talk much at all. The only time they do spend alot of time together is on Rolling Stones projects (as we all know). They do that on and off over the years and they have so much history together and they understand each other so well and they genuinely care for one another. See the Shine a Light video where they kinda hug or whatever and share the same mic. Sure, they did it for the camera because they don't like to expose that side to each other much anymore and The Stones the two of them are in a different era now. It's not 1972 anymore. Still the basis and feelings are there. To me "close" is a bond and an understanding not a record on the amount of minutes they spend together each day or the amount of days two people share together each year. I know they are not side by side, spending the whole time together even in Rolling Stones off time any more. In Rolling Stones off time they don't speak hardly at all... basically only when necessary. They are not inseparable like they were in 66-68. Now-a-days and for a long while they give each other space. Still they share the same feelings, thoughts (well ..for the most part hah), and there is that everlasting bond between them and when they do get together they can basically pick up as if no time has passed. That is my definition of "close". That's my take on their situation anyway.


Ian

Well, in interviews, Keith is always dissing Mick!

And, Mick never says anything mean about Keith!  He's always so sweet and polite!  Smiling with his dimples!

My poor, cutie pie Micky!  How dare anyone say anything awful about him!

(Okay, I did once, but I was jealous, because he was dancing and making out with Lisa Fischer on the stage!  But, I didn't really mean it!)

Gazza and Ian are 'close'.

Thank You Sir. Yazzum.

A closeness in any relationship is defined by experiences and bonds formed over the years. Two people don't have to spend every waking moment together in order to have a close relationship. The experiences, the laughter, the tears, the blood spilled and the love two people have for another define how close a bond is between them.

For Mick and Keith, the two have had over half a century together and I'm sure the bond is really close. They are individuals, though, and have their own lives to lead. Keith may take personal jabs at Mick, but I'm sure if someone outside the Stones took a shot, he may stand up to Mick's defense. Keith has always been one to speak his peace, while Mick tends to be more careful with what he says. No matter what either says in the press or to each other, no word can break a close bond. Words may strain a relationship, but they can never break one forever.

The experiences, the laughter, the tears, the blood spilled and the love two people have for another define how close a bond is between them. For Mick and Keith, the two have had over half a century together and I'm sure the bond is really close. They are individuals, though, and have their own lives to lead. Keith may take personal jabs at Mick, but I'm sure if someone outside the Stones took a shot, he may stand up to Mick's defense. Keith has always been one to speak his peace, while Mick tends to be more careful with what he says. No matter what either says in the press or to each other, no word can break a close bond. Words may strain a relationship, but they can never break one forever.

Me and Ian in a nutshell...

> rehearsing a tour, and traveling around the world in these year and a half long tours with someone whom you really don't care for would be extremely difficult ...especially time and time again.  

Joey and Johnny Ramone hated each other and spoke very little between 1981 and 1996 (when the last show was perforned) yet still cranked out albums every 12-18 months, some damn good ones too and also did upwards of a hundred shows a year.

But nobody said it wasn't difficult either.
