Top Ten Brewers Albums

I wonder how he would have gone if the Stones had taken him instead of Ron Wood.

Or more a case of wondering how much better the Stones would have remained if they'd kept Mick Taylor on board instead of "Mini Keith Wood". :beerbang:

Not a Woody fan then Warren?

Any coincidence their music went a little too formulaic from Black and Blue onwards? Add to that IMO their 5 best albums spanned the Mick Taylor era, particularly Exile on Main Street :beerbang: . My opinion only and totally open to conjecture.

Oh I forgot. Nothing against Ron Wood per se. Just sobered the stones lineup up too much. Put him back into the Jeff Beck Group (with Rod Stewart) then you've got some very beautifully balanced/chunky blues. :beerbang: In short I think that Ron Wood and Rod Stewart were a great pairing. When they parted ways their music suffered. Not commercially but artistically.

Happened to a lot of them. Just think of Clapton post Cream. That slow hand just seemed slower and more boring. Saw Clapton live about 20 years ago and have to admit it was the most boring concert I'd ever been to. He was that drunk he kept butting his face into the mike. Thank goodness Tommy Emannuel kept it alive via the support act. <_<

Totally agree with you but how much influence do you reckon Ronnie had on the quality of the songs? Not more a case of the Glimmer twins running out of steam? And Keith was having more than his share of problems too.

 

[warrenlw63]

Yeah, have to agree.

Maybe Mick Taylor had to hit the road. Was there the possiblity that he was overqualified for the job? :lol: Think that maybe the world wanted more of Keith Richards' oft overused and abused signature open G chords.

Wasn't it their manager who called them "my little 3 chord wonders"

With regard to the Stones, its always amazed me that they have kept going. I mean they are so wealthy that they could buy most of the worlds beer resources and given that they were at the centre of the revolutions of the 60s and 70s today's scene must look a little pallid. You'd think that trying to re-live your hedonistic youth would start to wear a bit thin once you'd hit 60 ... still good on 'em I suppose, they probably still have some fairly amazing experiences, by my standards anyway.

It probably comes from the blues & jazz roots that they (especially Keith & Charlie) have where they don't see age as a factor. The way guys like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker & BB King just keep/kept playing all their lives.

 

[warrenlw63]

Yep, they're not stupid. Take a look at most people who retire at say 65 and do nothing post work.

Not really a good thing. Use it or lose it.
