Rolling Stones - The Ronnie Wood Years - Part 1

By the end of 1974 all was not well in the camp of the group tagged 'the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world'. Their last two records had received little in the way of critical acclaim, the co-songwriters and main players had drifted far apart and in one notable quarter heroin addiction was rife. So when the man who had, for the previous five years, often been seen as the ensemble's anchor announced his resignation, many fans wondered if the game was all but up for The Rolling Stones.
But those of little faith had no further need to fret once Ronald David Wood, formerly of the much loved but shambolic Faces, plugged his Fender Strat into the Stones' PA, having been offered, to rapturous acceptance, the coveted position formerly occupied by Mick Taylor, and before him, the late Brian Jones.
Ronnie's arrival seemed to breathe new life into the band and their next pair of albums - the funky Black & Blue and new-wave-meets-disco Some Girls - were generally considered their best since Exile on Main Street. And as the 70s wore on and the 1980s dawned, while the records they released and the shows they played certainly had their detractors, glorious moments were always close at hand.
This documentary film covers the Stones' career and music between 1975 and 1983 and includes archive and exclusive interviews, contributions from the finest experts and writers, and rare and classic footage, all soundtracked by the music that, despite it all , remained 'only rock 'n' roll.'

Mick Taylor was an inspiration. A highly valued member of the Stones. All true Stones fans love & appreciate his contribution.

[@JOHNDTONY]

Are we all in agreement? The entity that is The Rolling Stones is one that deserves to live amongst the gods of music throughout history. Everything that they went through, a living breathing animal they morphed into what was required of them in order to keep the torch lit and keep rock and roll on a ever evolving trajectory while never straying too far from where they came from, but always with a twist.... Brilliant

[@sandrawalkyria3324]

i am 60 now (almost), never liked the Stones all these yars beside their soft songs, as I grew older I realized that their blues/Rock is simply fantastic ....and getting better by time....just for me ...they are on top of their career right now....after 60 years of hilarious performance. Seeing 80 year-olds making rock like theirs keeps me getting on, while hearing the modern Music I cannot listen too long

[@patriciahulett4411]

So Sick of the never ending whining about Brian Jones. He had talent, he died at his own hand. Yes it was sad but not the fault and responsibility of the others . The rest of The Rolling Stones worked their butts off for 50 plus years.and deserve the fruits of their labor. It takes a lot of talent, tenacity and plain hard work to survive and thrive as they have managed.

[@jg6698]

No whining here. Jones was sensational. His years were the best.

They all brought something unique Brian, Taylor, Ron. It’s what made the stones the stones as well as the other uncredited musicians. Without a doubt the stones best era was the 70s. Rip Brian

Mick Taylor is an amazing guitarist and contributed a tidal wave of lead solos and riffs that remain unmatched by both Keith Richards and Ron Wood, if fact Mick Taylor is without a doubt one of the finest guitarists in rock and blues it was a real downfall to the Stones.

I remember wearing out the "Some Girls" album, just eating up the pristinely recorded 3, 4, 5, however many guitar tracks that Woody and Keef put down, trying to figure out who was playing what.

[@steveconn]

The biggest problem with Goats Head Soup and It’s Only Rock and Roll is that they weren’t recorded by some other artists. Had they been they would’ve been regarded as the great pieces of music that they are. Unfortunately, critics and fans that are easily swayed by critics drove the narrative that these were somehow unworthy. One of the reasons Andy Johns produced Marquee Moon by Television was because Tom Verlaine loved the sound of Goats Head Soup.

[@leonardheether4558]

Though they lost finesse with Mick Taylor leaving, Ron Wood blended with Keith and together they all put out some great ROCK AND ROLL. I first saw Wood as Jeff Beck's bass player, with Rod Stewart as vocalist. Great together group-musically. He played bass as a lead, much as Jack Bruce, and the counterpoint created made all the songs listenable over and over. He was ready to be lead immediately as he went to the Faces with Stewart. Nicky Hopkins also played in the Beck Group, so joining the Stones, who used Nicky often, to great success, had an added benefit for Wood. Three different bands, over many years, but all great, with that vocalist, and the same great bottom line. No comparisons are needed, just enjoy the music, and forget about the media stuff. Enjoy the music. It's Only Rock 'n 'Roll, but I like it!

Born on June 1, 1947, Ron Wood was relatively younger than the rest of the band, most of whom were born during WWII. (Bill Wyman was born in 1936.)

[@andrewsandoz8005]

Let's not forget where Rock n Roll came from...America!

[@pman8478]

Its funny they would pay these "experts" to say these things about ronnie without any counterpoint. They seem fooled by appearances stating Taylor played elegant and Ronnie is just a cartoon. Mick T is a quiet and elegant person and definitely as talented a virtuoso as they come on the guitar, but he used to shred with the stones. He was a much more ballsy and showy player in the stones than an elegant one (and that's not negative). And ronnie's boozy showmanship and smile might make things seem easy but the idea that he's not a unique and special musician is laughable considering how many amazing musicians love his playing and have him on their work. Imagine playing such crucial and incredible bass work in a legendary and influential band like the Jeff beck group but still having "critics" act like you're not a serious musician. They also make no mention of the fact that the Faces were one of the highest selling touring acts in the US from 70-74, or how Ronnie held down both lead and rhythm for them as their sole guitarist during that stretch. Or how during that same time he was the primary co-writer as well as bass, acoustic, electric, lap steel and slide guitarist on the 4 best received records of Rod Stewart's career (routinely playing 2, 3 or 4 of them on the same track). As well as doing the same on a fourth album that wasn't quite as critically acclaimed (but still sold well). And then Woody's first two solo albums infuse his usually boozy blend of rnb, soul, rock and even reggae with an almost steely dan style sheen. And the best players in the world were lining up to play with and write songs for him (including 3 stones, a Beatle, David Bowie and one of the greatest soul songwriters and guitarists of all time in Bobby Womack, among others). So Ronnie getting the job with the stones wasn't accidental. His pedigree in 1974-75 was exceptional. And in a perfect world Mick Taylor would've stayed with the stones, Ronnie and Rod with the faces, and hopefully ronnie, Keith and mick would've still collaborated on their solo work. But it's not a perfect world, so Mick Taylor did leave, but Ronnie joining might've saved the stones from breaking up. And he proved to be an exceptional fit for both Keith and Mick's musical hopes. Evidenced by his wonderful country, disco, blues, and soul work on some girls. Their were few guitarists who rocked on a higher level in the 70s than Woody did.

Ron Wood was a Rolling Stone even before he became a Rolling Stone. Everybody knows that. And also... Keith said it himself.

yes thats true. The music was changing also. I just think Ron Wood lacks the intensity . The biggest change was Mick Taylors sudden departure. That really threw the stones off. He was the perfect fit. On the album black and blue the song hand of fate its sizzling guitar leads were played by a guirarist from Texas who was trying out. I forget his name maybe Wayne Perkins it could be. But they got Ron Wood. I personally think the era of Exile on Main street was the best ever. Classic.

Ronnie Wood es un guitarrista más parecido a Keith Richards, es su compañero de copas y fiestas. A Jagger le convenía alguien del perfil de Ronnie, un guitarrista que fuera no tan llamativo tocando pero aportando a la música de los Stones y que entretejiera con Keith las canciones, a parte tiene un gran talento en la pintura y encajó perfectamente en la agrupación por su sentido del humor y estilo. Ronnie posee una personalidad que permite relacionarse con grandes personalidades del mundo del rock, lo he visto tocar con gran cantidad de grupos. Muchos coincidimos que los Stones poseían una gran fuerza y poderío musical con Mick Taylor, en lo personal creo que quedarse con el trabajo de Taylor era un gran reto por que se trata de un solista de lo mejor del mundo, obviamente las canciones tocadas por Ronnie en lugar de Taylor nunca sonaron con las dimensiones que Taylor ejecutaba, pero las adecuaba a su estilo.

at 8:20, dude is full of himself. (Sorry, I didn't catch what his own musical contributions were, then or since.) Ronnie as cartoon? Piffle. His bass work on Jeff Beck tracks are outstanding. After Steve Marriott left the Small Faces and Stewart and Wood came in as the band evolved into Faces, Ronnie demonstrated great feel and skill as a multi-instrumentalist. His contributions to Rod Stewart's solo work? Hmmm. I missed what was so cartoonish about the guitarwork on the title track of Every Picture Tells a Story, which in my mind displays fine skill on acoustic and slide guitars. When Faces came through L.A. in early 70s, headlining acts that included Deep Purple in Long Beach and Savoy Brown and the Grease Band at the Forum, they rocked the houses. Two stones already provided enough drama in the band. Don't fault Wood for being affable. To be a guitarist with those two demanded qualities aside from and in addition to musical virtuosity. Just ask Ronnie's predecessors.

When a guitarist plays a solo no guitarist sounds the same or plays it the same way they all have a unique stile to their own, Wayne Perkins did have a melodic sound similar to Mick Taylor, and even Jeff Beck flirted with the idea of touring with the Stones in 1975, but quoted that he didn't want to shit all over the Stones sound and didn't join the band. The Stones became complacent with Taylor and Taylor got frustrated over song credits and creative differences and quit - No one guitarist in the world plays solos like Mick Taylor and the Stones lost that sound forever when he left. Ron Wood plays most of the Mick Taylor live fills very well in his own way and has improved in the later years and also plays the old licks that Brian Jones played on slid and rhythm and he dose it well. Taylor quit and went no where with jack Bruce, M. Taylor is great guitar player yes ! A great front man no ! He's not Eric Clapton who can sing and play hit songs in front of a large audience and Taylor found that out quickly when his solo career tanked and he wanted back in with the Stones in 1981, but the band was set with Ron Wood. Like all Rolling Stones fans I miss the era between 1969 - 1974 this was the best version of the band, but I often feel if The Rolling Stones had gone on with Mick Taylor in the band they would have broken up a long time ago. And So It Goes ..

Barney the bollocks sounds like a cartoon or barney the bullshitter , Ronnie is a class guitarist who I always thought was too good for the stones

When you're referred to as "the glue that held the band together", it means you're ever-so-politely being referred to as the shit one that nobody really cares about.

[@davidmellish3295]

No I think it's a complement as they literally were falling apart and Ronnie saved them.

This dude actually said the Stones were bigger than Led Zeppelin in the mid-'70s... No disrespect to that guy or the Stones but we the only band competing with Zeppelin in the mid to late '70s was Pink Floyd.

After Jagger took over after 78 they lost it no soul all acting.

Had you left business in Keith's hands there would be no Rolling Stone's today.

Barney should never have said that crap, I agree. Given the very unkind things he had to say about poor Ronnie later in this clip (never you mind that he kept showing up for the next FOUR DECADES, which Mick and Keith will tell you is what counted in the end), I would feel inclined to challenge this man to a duel to defend Ronnie's honor.
