So, while most of the board here was blaiming Ronnie for delaying the next Stones tour, what happens? Ronnie will tour without stones.

I figured he'd be ambulatory the way people were talking about him. I guess people figured if they cried loud enough, they could sabatoge him. Better luck next time. The band he puts together will probably make the Stones look like shit, and he'll probably make a ton of money. I know I'll be there.

a ton of money? from the dozens of rabid fans flocking to these shows?

It's on Yahoo News also.

Wood "planning solo tour" [uk.news.yahoo.com]

One India have somehow managed to twist the headline into a 'world tour' even though the story that theyve ran (and lifted from the Daily Express) merely mentions an unnamed source saying there are plans for 'some shows'..

If he joined the Stones in '76, who played with them on the TOTA tout?

A solo tour doesnt disprove the theory behind a delay in a Stones tour at all.

A Stones tour requires huge insurance premiums due to the financial risks involved and the amount of sponsorship being put up. In that sense, Ronnie presumably remains an insurance problem.

There's no such risk involved in him doing a few low key solo gigs in theatres.

And at the minute this is just unconfirmed hot air. Nothing's even close to being confirmed yet. I'd guess that Ronnie is several months away from being capable of playing a few shows.

Perhaps he should consider a stay in rehab prior to touring

I would take that as a given. I would imagine his bandmates would have insisted on it.

If he's signing the checks, he can do whatever he wants. 'I would take that as a given'. lol You think MacLagan would be happy to play a 15,000 seater as opposed to a dive bar? Like he said, 'Ronnie falls off the wagon from time to time, what do you expect, he's a drunk'. I think this attitude is all you can hope for.

All this insurance bullshit - Richards is so much farther down the pan than Wood could ever be. Wood's been sober for entire years, for cryin out loud. Whether you stay that way is another matter, but it definitely lowers the mileage on your body.

Not quite. If Woody's going to be deemed employable by the rest of the Stones (and their promoters/sponsors), he's going to need to be seen to be functional. Thats not going to happen this side of another rehab stint, and all this crap about a solo tour is wishful thinking in his current state. So is the notion that Ronnie Wood is capable of selling out venues any bigger than a theatre.

Ronnie Wood to tour without Stones
Tuesday, 19 January 2010

Ronnie Wood plans to embark on a solo tour this year.

The 62-year-old rocker wants to perform a series of concerts in 2010 without his Rolling Stones bandmates because he is "determined" to put his eventful personal life behind him and focus on his music career after the group decided against scheduling any live dates for the foreseeable future.

A source said: "Ronnie was banking on the Stones getting back together but while that's off the agenda for now he's still determined to start performing live again in the very near future."

The past few months have been very eventful for Ronnie, who split from his 21-year-old cocktail waitress girlfriend Katia Ivanova.

Their 15-month romance - which began when he walked out on wife of 23 years Jo Wood - ended after he was cautioned for common assault following a drunken public row between the pair.

Ronnie is now working hard to make his upcoming shows a success and is searching for musicians to join him on stage.

The source told the Daily Express newspaper: "He will have no trouble putting a band together. He knows his music has been overshadowed by his personal life and he wants to get back on track. Ronnie is a musician first and foremost and touring is in his blood."

To coincide with the string of dates, the guitarist - who was in The Faces before he joined the Rolling Stones in 1976 - will also release a new album.

The source added: "Ronnie has already recorded a new album that will come out later this year. Now he really wants to put on some show to help promote it."

Earlier this month, a spokesperson of the legendary rock group - also consisting of Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts - confirmed they had no plans to perform as a band this year following rumours they were planning to headline the world famous Glastonbury music festival in Somerset, South West England.

They said: "Following recent UK media speculation, The Rolling Stones would like to make it clear there are no plans at the moment for the band to tour in 2010."

I don't get all this 'in his state'. Wtf do you know? Every time I see a picture, he looks happy. It's other people that aren't happy. His wife, the band, blah blah who cares about them if they ain't gonna play? The Stones are on the sideline like everyone else, doing nothing. But you know like they say - there's only one way to find out whether he can sell some tickets, and it ain't by doing what the Stones are doing thesedays. You should see some of the crap bands that fill the arena here in Baltimore which doesn't get the major major acts but once in a blue moon, it holds about 14,000. People I've never friggin heard of. My theory is that rock and roll is basically dead, and people are dying to see ANYONE who represents the pinnacle. It's not like you have to choose between a bunch of major bands anymore. Gotta look at the big picture man, not just how you feel about Ronnie.

<<< Ronnie by himself isnt a major concert draw to the degree where he can fill anything bigger than a theatre. He wasnt last time he played shows in 2001 and 2005, and I doubt he is now. >>>

Suits me, I love the idea of seeing Ronnie in some small venue here in London. Have caught him twice to date, Shepherds Bush Empire (can't remember which year) and Drury Lane in March 2005. Enjoyed both shows.
