In no way do i relate to the Stones. The music is dated. I hear it and it screams 1967. It is meaningless to me. At least the Beatles made songs that sound as fresh today as they did in the day.
Also, in no way can Keith Richards hold a candle to Edge when creating a feeling from a guitar. The only thing going for Richards is that he found the elixir of life as he should have been dead 40 years ago. Not to say the drugs hasn't made him completely addle-minded.
