Watching Keith and Woody trying to play guitar is like being driven in a tour bus by José Feliciano and Ray Charles without a GPS. It’s a terrifying fucking experience. If the Stones were smart they’d hire two 25-year-old guys from Nashville who know how to play the songs parts than let these two cadavers walking around stage fucking acting like Johnny Depp in fucking Pirates Of The Caribbean. And it bothers me that they charge eighty-two hundred dollars. At least when you go to see The Eagles there’s 45 guys on stage. ”
