Dont get me wrong if i had to pick 5 top guitarists it would be:
MICK RONSON, RONNIE WOOD, KEITH RICHARDS,DAVE GILMOUR, HENDRIX
Rory Gallagher for the feeling...
Ronnie has been vampirised by the Glimmer Twins, period. |

I am sorry to say, but any guitar player on this board (and there quit a few around) knows that Ronnie only has great moments, but overall it ain't good enough.
During the VL and Licks tour his guitar was almost not turned up, only during some solo's. ABB tour he is still more fooling around than playing a good concert. Even some solo's he should/could dream he manages to screw up.
His best period with the Stones was 75 - 82. But if you wanna hear Ronnie really on fire: listen to the live lp's/cd's from RS & The Faces.
Dont get me wrong: I'll always be a great Stones fan and I love Keith and Ron, but as a guitar player myself, I regonise it when things are not played good or as meant to be. I truly think/believe they can do a much better job, even this tour.
But, lets be glad and amazed that this band can still put a venue 'on fire" like they only can!!

he plays the same damn thing night in and night out. how about the way he fucks up JJF? He plays the damn outro riff THE WHOLE FUCKING SONG. What gives? It takes away from the power of the song. |

Do any of you whiners realize 90% of the reviews are very positive? Are you clueless or only feel good about yourself when you sh*t on others? |

As a long time Woody basher(or lets say a Mick Taylor lover), I think Woody has played exceptionally well this tour. He has really come through at the shows I have attended. Yes, he clowns and poises at times(much like Keith), but he is playing loud and hard....which makes up for any missed chords. |

My thinking too, Joshy. He seems to be more "into it" this time around. |

It's the official list of what JB and Glencar will be missing next Wednesday.
On the other hand, you negative wankers are missing the fun of the entire tour. Hey, your loss! How sad to only find amusement angrily crapping on others anonomously on a website. |

I've only heard one full show from this tour and I have come to the conclusion that Mr Wood is indeed, not up to scratch. It really is very puzzling. He's reportedly off the booze, he's doesn't have that constant cloud of smoke around his eyes anymore and unless I'm mistaken, he doesn’t suffer from arthritis or any other ailment. With those things in mind, I find it impossible to fathom out what the guy’s problem is. As others here have stated, he’s constantly out of tune and cocks up constantly, BUT WHY? Until the great man sheds some light, it'll be a mystery forever more. |

Jack, I'd be there but I can't take more time off work. If it had been a Thursday, I'd be there. I hope you have a great time regardless of what the wankers write. |

Ronnie Wood has been a very good guitarist in the past. The 'Hotter than Hell' film footage of the '75 tour proves that he could cut it when he joined The Stones. I also enjoyed his work with The Faces and with Rod Stewart; I think he has contributed some good guitar and bass playing to all The Stones albums during his time with them. He obviously is a talented man who at his best can be capable of greatness.
But this is the key to the whole discussion. 'At his best' was definitely not what he was the night I saw them at the Superdome in Sydney on the Forty Licks tour. He was simply not that functional as a guitar player. As I say, he was only contributing sporadically and Blondie Chaplin was having to play along in the background to fill things out.
Maybe some nights when he is 'on' he stills plays great, maybe the next night if he is not 'on' he doesn't play that well. I couldn't tell you; I don't live in either America or Europe and when we do get a Stones tour here in Australia it's like the proverbial manna from heaven and we take whatever we're given. I just hope he is 'on' when they do their tour here. |

I think Keith takes a lot out of him .....if he does step up, Keith's insecurities(see taylor force out) come through. |

Videos like "Gimme Shelter" and "Midnight Rambler" from RS.COM show that Ronnie can still do it. Ronnie hasn't forgotten anything. He knows these songs better than anyone in the band. On that "Midnight Rambler" video he pulls out licks and riff that refer to the original "Rambler" recording.
