What are their personalities off stage? Do you know anything about their personal lives? |

Keith Richards and Ron Wood.
The greatest guitar team ever in rock n roll or otherwise.
They are free of the "narcissism of small differences" notable amongst most of their kind that would tear any team apart.
They are the two arms of the ambidextrous Stones Devil.
I can't really choose one of them over the other...it would be like having to choose one of my own arms over the other
The "blind Keith Richards worship" over anyone else in the band or otherwise by some fans is just insane...about as insane as the "blind Ron Wood bashing sprees"

From various bios, interviews, etc, Keith is a pretty laid back homebody - likes to read a whole lot (perhaps one of the best read gents in the business)tinker in his basement studio, catch a few shows here and there, take the old lady out from time to time, hang in Marley-land when the weather turns too cold, pop over to England on occassion, play a few charity and/or honorary gigs, guest spot on various artist recordings,...the life of an older gentleman with no financial worries, a penchant for drink and smoke, who wears the whole pirate of rock thing well enough to inspire legions of copy-cats. I would love to hang with Keith and buy him a few rounds...
As for Ron, his artwork is highly regarded, he battles the addictions to booze and smokes, is far more sociable than Keith, loving the company of others, which makes his addictions that much more difficult to control, also plays a number of guest-spot gigs now and again, is still on good terms with his old pal Rod, (tour in '07!)has made more money in the last three Stones tours than he all the other years prior combined, keeps a lovely home in...Ireland I believe, has a lovely and supportive wife who tries her best to keep him alive - Ron's guitar skills are underappreciated due to his time with the Stones when he must take a back seat to Keith and Co. and he has a penchant to clown and get lazy - but make no mistake, the skinny old fella can play some gritty garage guitar. |

I recommend that you purchase some books about them. |

Excellent suuggestion, my friend.
I would like to recommend Stanley Booth's book about the Stones. |
