WOOD'S CONFUSION AT PLAYING SOBER
Veteran rocker RONNIE WOOD is finding it strange adjusting to his newfound sobriety after spending decades performing live while drunk. The ROLLING STONES guitarist spent a period in rehabilitation earlier this year (06) and has emerged focused when on stage. He says, "Obviously, normal people don't go out to work drunk, but for an alcoholic, it's entirely normal to go out of your f**king brain. "That's what I did for years. But hopefully not anymore, hopefully. "The last show we played in Paris, I was straight as a die. It did feel weird not to be hiding behind alcohol or dope, but being focused was good."

Police visit wild party by Stones' Wood
LONDON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- A raucous party thrown by Rolling Stones' bassist Ronnie Wood was broken up by police after neighbors of his suburban London home complained, a report says.
The Daily Mirror said the 59-year-old singer threw the bash at his home in Kingston, Surrey, to celebrate the Stones' first performance in Britain in three years, but was forced to end the party when police visited at 4 a.m. Monday in response to noise complaints.
As part of the celebration at Wood's $28 million estate, revelers enjoyed more than $56,000 in alcohol while the Stones' bassist preferred his libation in the form of nitrous oxide gas, also known as laughing gas, the Daily Mirror said.
"Ronnie was inhaling it from balloons and doubling over in fits of giggles," one guest told the newspaper. "It was hilarious for him and just as funny to watch."
Not joining Wood in celebrating the Stones' Sunday performance at Twickenham rugby ground were his band mates -- the newspaper said they went home rather than attend the party.

OK, he's got a problem.
Leave him alone.
This mission to bring to light the problems
Wood has with his addiction is boring.
Only the person having the problem is capable of
policing themselves.
I've had enough, see you all down the road or not. |

Mick Taylor is not back....also, I am very weary of the British tabloids as many stated the Twicks shows were full, despite that nasty article last week about poor sales.

What I don't get -- and this is as true of Keith as it is of Ronnie -- is why their gear sounds so crappy sometimes, quite apart from how well or badly they play it. Thin, tinny, over-bright: It's almost like the techs do nothing but change strings, and haven't replaced an amplifier tube in 16 years. |

I agree Mel. The thin, tiny guitar sound drives me nuts.
I wouldnt care if they sucked, so long as its loud and sloppy with that classic Keef tone. |

Do they know they sound so bad?-ARE THEY LIKE THE FABLED "NAKED KING" who is only made aware of his state of undress by a child? Or, even more scary, do they actually like the way they sound???

Sounds exactly the same as articles I read during the Licks tour. I remember reading an interview in an Irish mag where he commented that his playing has become so much better since getting off the sauce and that even Bono (wtf?) had commented about how good he was sounding. |

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that article calls Ronnie the bassist. Maybe in the studio, but not on stage.
That tells me something about the credibility of the article if they can't get one simple detail right. |
