The Stones had a string of albums in the late 60's early 70's that is absolutely unmatched in the history of rock!

Beggars Banquet- (my fave!)
Let It Bleed
Exile on Main Street
Sticky Fingers

AND, a great live album in the mix- Get Yer Ya Ya's Out. Check out the smoking version of Stray Cat Blues on that one!

They were simply fucking inspired during those years.

NEW YORK — Ronnie Wood says the Rolling Stones will meet in a recording studio later this month "to just throw some ideas around."

The guitarist for the legendary rock group said Monday that he and the band just want "to get the feel again."

He also added that the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary is like training for something big.

"It's like working out for the Olympics or something," Wood said. "You've got to go into training. So we're going to go into training."

Wood made the comments Monday in an interview following a press conference for his exhibition, "Faces, Time and Places," which features his own paintings. It includes pieces of him and his band mates, as well as Muhammad Ali and Al Pacino.

Wood, who said he first started painting at age 3, enjoys doing it because it's a reflection of his own ideas, unlike music, which he calls "a group effort."

The exhibit launched Monday and will close June 30.

Wood's week will get busier when he is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday as a member of The Faces, along with Rod Stewart. It will be the second induction for the 64-year-old Wood. The Rolling Stones were inducted in 1989.

He'll also perform a solo show at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, N.J., on April 21. When asked what fans should expect, he said: "Lots of surprises because I'm going to surprise myself. I don't know what the hell is coming next. The whole set list is going to be made up. I'm making it up every day now."

Wood says he would love go on a solo tour "if I had enough time, but I have too many commitments."

He also talked about possibly recording another solo album.

"Lots of people don't know I've made seven, `cause most of my albums escape; they're not released," he said, laughing. "Keith (Richards) says they all skyrocket to oblivion."

Did any one read the keef autobiog "life"
I really enjoyed it , I had read a couple of general music bios of people i like and they had kinda been basically not very good so I was pleasantly surprised .
For me it's a tough balancing act from a auto biog I want :

1. Their humerous/entertaining stories
2. Their version of how things happened in their story... Their version of events.
3. And their discription of the mechanics of what they do musically .

I wanna hear how an album was done or how they recorded stuff or even their fav chords.
I think life had a good mix of all of the above .... It avoided the ... "we made this album" discribed in a paragraph then a chapter on some trivial personal shite I wanna good mix ... I want the person to remember I bought the book cause I liked their music not because I wanna hear how they met the wife .. Yes am interested in that but that wasnt my primary interest I want the full story of their life without quickly skipping the musical history ..

Some reason in the last 3-4 weeks I have heard Gimme Shelter somewhere just about every day. Damn that's such a fucking good song. I used to HATE Mick Jagger. Thought he was just some flaming faggot hopping all over the damn place. Finally went & saw the Stones at the LA Coliseum back in 1988 or so. One humongous concert and I have an entirely new respect & appreciation for the man. He WAS the show. The guy is utterly amazing live and I had judged him just from some photos & MTV videos. Unfair. Playing live the guy is a fucking showman extraordinaire.

Seen them at

LA Coliseum - 80,000 people
Jack Murphy Stadium x2 - 62,000
Dodger Stadium - 58,000

Gimme shelter ... What a Stella tune

Thanks for posting this!

Ronnie Wood's a realk cool guy in my book - and in so many people's book in the music field...

I love his solo stuff - even his cat's voice -, they groove a lot!

The Faces are one of my top fave bands ever - he was so great a player - and composer - back then.

Among the Stones, it's another story. I love many albums he's made with them, especially "Some Girls", but the guitars sound a little messy with Woody.
