While the rest are certainly proficient on their respective instruments, Keith Richards was mediocre at best. He was just a party animal that happened to land up in a band that was popular. I have watched a couple of the bands performances and Keith Richards brings nothing to the table. Ron Wood & Mick Taylor were carrying him all the way. He could barely play the three chords he knew properly.
