If I shout and scream at him, it's because no one else has the guts to do it or else they're paid not to do it.

''Dirty Work'' (a UK and US No. 4) was released in March 1986 to mixed reviews, despite the US top-five hit "[[Harlem Shuffle]]". With relations between Richards and Jagger at a low, Jagger refused to tour to promote the album, and instead undertook his own solo tour, which included Rolling Stones' songs.<ref name="RollingStoneJagger">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-25-boldest-career-moves-in-rock-history-20110318/mick-jagger-tours-solo-with-joe-satriani-20110318 |last=Greene|first=Andy|title=The 25 Boldest Career Moves in Rock History: 20) Mick Jagger Tours Solo With Joe Satriani |date=18 March 2011 |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130105202923/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-25-boldest-career-moves-in-rock-history-20110318/mick-jagger-tours-solo-with-joe-satriani-20110318 |archive-date=5 January 2013 |url-status=live |access-date=4 December 2011|url-access=limited}}</ref>{{sfn|Sandford|1999|p=268}} Richards has referred to this period in his relations with Jagger as "World War III".{{sfn|Jagger|Richards|Watts|Wood|2003|p=247}} As a result of the animosity within the band at this time, they almost broke up.<ref name="RollingStoneJagger" />
