To me he is one of the best and most distinctive bass players. I loved his haunting bass lines such as 19th Nervous Breakdown, Sympathy for the Devil and Gimme shelter
I saw the Rolling Stones at the Blaisdell Concert Hall in Honolulu in the early 1970s. I was disappointed with Jagger's gay (homosexual) demeanor and clothing during the concert and I called out "Jagger you're crazy!" from a 3rd row seat and he stopped for a moment and looked down at me and said, "I know I am!" That's what I remember about him.
Jagger was a control freak, a perfectionist! He got into collision practically with all the band members. Brian Jones made a few mistakes, so Jagger punished him by not letting his instruments sound on practices. Like Jagger would go over him and turn his sound off or unplug his guitar etc...! Finally Brian quit, later died mysteriously. Even Keith Richard had friction with Mick, bc Mick fired a technician he just didn't like. Keith said in an interview, man was doing his job fine, why Mick screw with him, Keith didn't understand it? I've been around bands and these things always happening that's why the band need a good manager!
False, most of people touring with the Stones declared that Mick is a professional nice guy, easy to work with. For Brian listen "Get a Line on You" a Jagger/Leon Russell song 1968, Mick wrote very touching lyrics about Brian, the song became Shine a Light". Plus if you look at the session recording of Sympathy filmed by Godard, Mick is demonstrating patiently the chords to Brian who is painful to see and when Keith arrived they both stop and Keith don't even pay attention to Brian.
Strange, Charlie never feel that kind of exclusion and the plublic claimed him strongly on each show. Bill is not the better placed to give moral lessond.
What a crap AI generated script. More than a few classic Stones tracks actually had Keith on bass. Wyman had his moments, soe of them seminal, but he was nowhere near as pivotal to the Stones sound as Mick, Keith, or even Charlie.
