@smautomat Keith & Mick were 15 yrs. older than I when I first starting seeing their faces in '67. I always thought Bill & Charlie were the uglier ones. But as time has gone by, I would say Bill has aged the best, especially in his 50s & 60s, to me, he looked far better than the rest. He's starting to get up there now, some, but then again, who isn't?
@Tecumseh1812 A lot of people rag on Ronnie but I look at him with amazement. The guy can draw (and probably paint), plays great guitar, and can thump the bass.
@MottTheWot I don't begrudge Bill at all for leaving the Rolling Stones. He put his time in, made a pile of cash, and was ready to check out. Keith could huff & puff but what could he do. He ought to extend an olive branch & maybe Bill might play some.
@kolbpilot I don't think there is any animosity with between Bill and Keith, i think Keith just liked a stable line up and he regarded the Stones rhythm section very highly. Bill had put in 30 years service and had just come through the tumultuous 80's where Mick and Keith were having their playground spats! I guess Bill thought one more tour and i'm off! He's happy just doing his Rhythm Kings thing. It would've been nice to see the Exile line up play a show coinciding with this years releases.
@kolbpilot In his book Keith does mention that Bill was an incredible bass player and he Charlie were like one unit. It enabled Keith to become Keith Richards, the moves, the style of playing, the image etc, all the while knowing his rhythm section would not let him down. Bill is 7 years older than Keith, it would have been hard for him to relate back in the 60's other than by playing music together. Bill lasted 30 years and Richards certainly did not want him to leave, he got stroppy!
I can believe keyboards are around the edges. I'm sometimes shocked to read the instrument credits on a Stones song and think, "It has keyboards?" Like GIMME SHELTER and LOVE IS STRONG. You have to listen very closely to hear them.
wyman is an essential to the stones but bob dylans "flunky disco troupe" quote is soo stupid and fukd up cuz they sound nothing like that why dnt u keep puttin out shitty music bob dylan
Anyone who says Ron Wood is shit is obviously not listening. No he's not Mick Taylor. Get over it. Taylor was great, but Woody is by far the best guitar partner for Keith. The Stones were maybe past their prime when he joined but it's so much more interesting to listen to the 2 guitars. With Taylor, it was one lead gtr and one rhythm. But listen to Keith trading licks with Woody. Especially on stage. That's where they perfected their craft and re-invented the entire catalog of Stones songs.
@rothofo Taylor worked best with Keith imo, 68-75 was just a golden period. Ronnie's guitar playing went downhill when he joined the Stones. Fits as a person but lost an awful lot. As for the Faces reference, spot on, Coast to Coast had Ronnie at his peak. Amazing stuff.
I can't stand Ron Wood...the world's LUCKIEST guitarist...he's so sloppy & alot the times his tones suck...I play better than him...and that's the truth!
part of the Stones,musicwise he might have been replaceable,but ..look at all those old Stones clips and pictures,he was an integral part of The Stones' "durty" image.
I totally agree.. I've always been a big Wyman fan and you can tell, there is a huge difference since Bill left. There's no more distinct riffs with amazing bass backing it up. The new guy doesn't stick out at all.
It just surprises me to hear that Bob said something of that nature. I didn't know he really criticized anybody. But what he said is true
Paullonden I can only disagree with your words about "musicwise replaceable". You see that Stones method of playing - rhythm sec. follows rhythm guitar = "heartbeat & pulse" - could never be invented by ANY OTHER PEOPLE but them three,Keith,Bill,Charlie.
@PAULLONDEN I saw bob dylan in 1989, the worst shit concert ever. Keith's sol group were 100 tomes better. And the stones, just look at the masses that have seen them for the last 20 years. There concerts have an awesome mix of music, the band stripped down to 6 players on some songs and others with the whole backing musicians. But the integrety of their rock sound is still there. Bob Dylan used to be great until 1976, now he needs to stfu.
@harp1925 The Stones have not released a good album since 1981, on the other hand, Bob Dylan's last 4 albums are just as good as anything he did in the heights of his 60's and 70's eras. Three of them are even considered classics already. The Stones should have given it up after the disaster that was Emotional Rescue. Saw them three years ago & was disgusted after seeing Mick's aging homo strutting. Seen Dylan 3 times in the last 3 years. Intimate shows, music always changes, still interesting.
@cactaceous Dylan's last four albums are good. LOL! The last thing he did that was good was hurricane, the last time I saw him in concert in 1989, people wanted a refund, it was the worst show I have ever seen, an absolute abomination, no energy, no soul, no commitment, a complete fraud. BTW, I have heard only new song by dylan on the radio in the last ten years and it was basic 12 bar blues and sucked. Saw the stones in 05, they were fantastic, high energy, and the new songs rocked.
@PAULLONDEN If that numbskull jew ever said anything worth a pinch of shit, call me up! I will forward it to the New York Fucking Times and we shall all dance about.
@aektzis91 ....That's a hard rhythm section to lose. Bill + Charlie really grooved well together. I didn't come to give Charlie his full respect until I bought the 4-DVD set, "FOUR LICKS"....That dude jams EVERY song!
