He's out.

Wishful thinking. They would make an announcement. I think saying "2010" they are saying "through the present time", not his involvement ended in 2010. There is no compelling reason for them to remove him from the band. They are not touring or recording at present.

Tele, you and others seem to think that I wish Ron Wood to be out, hence you use the term "wishful thinking". I don't wish him to be out of the band, but how can one interpret this otherwise? Your explanation applies also to the other three, but there I read "present" instead of "2010", so your 'explanation' is far from convincing. Let's wait and see.

i would say that the writing is on the wall....

For this year it doesn't matter anyway - no new album, no tour - nothing. Just Exile.

Ding.

Not to mention that his also had said "to present" just like the others until recently. While it may prove to be nothing it still is something to think about. Whether if we are for or against the idea.

I wonder if Rich Robinson will join the band?

Well...there was nothing on the Rocket SOftware site (rs.com)...so I looked at rollingstones.com.

Interesting. Never thought that drinking & extramarital affairs were taboo in the Stones.

Did Mick Taylor ever marry?


IORR............but I like it!

Hmmmm - that is concerning.

Why?
Jones 5 years, Taylor 5 years,Wood 35 years. Time for a last change?

Jones 5 years? Who, Darryl?

I thought Brian was 7 years.

Plus it WAS Brian's band(at least in the beginning!)

Interesting...I should have looked at this before proferring an opinion. I really don't know what to make of it, though if I were Woody, i would be a little put out that the others say "present" instead of "2010".

kleermaker, "wishful thinking" was the wrong choice of words on my part. I think it matters very little now whetehr Woody stays an official member or not.

There are a lot of mistakes at this website and this is probably just one of them. Look at Ethan Russells photos and check out the picture of Charlie and Keith, but they labelled it Charlie and MICK! They can't even tell the diffence between Mick and Keith!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they have already ditched him but made arrangements to keep it secret for not wanting to have any bad publicity of this kind during the exile promotion.

Maybe they should ditch the idiots running the website!!!!

I do think beating or hitting your girlfriend or wife is out, at least since Brian left the band. I don't know if that's enough to get him thrown out for good.

Woody's contribution to the Stones has been the maximum. Such a breath of fresh air after the non-rhythm of Mick Taylor. Woody continued the double rhythm concept started by Richard-Jones. It is the Stones sound. Replace Woody? With who? Wilko Johnson?

Yes, three or four years of fresh air followed by a quarter century of treading water.

This was a deliberate change on the website...

Here is a screen grab I made a few weeks ago:


And here's a screen grab from tonight:


Does this mean anything?

ronnie is still a stone

That is interesting...to me, to go from the way it was, 1976-present, to 1976-2010 is one of only 3 explanations...

1. Someone having fun at our expense...ie, see if anyone notices
2. Changing it BECAUSE Ron is not an original, and only the three originals have 1962-present.
3. Ron is out...announcement to follow.

Very weird, and would explain to a great degree why Ron is absent during this Exile promo (I know he wasn't in the band recording exile, but for him not to be out marketing with everyone else because he wasn't on the original recording is stoopid!).

We have some hysteric friends.

Not that he was a full member of the band, commercially speaking, until 1990, when the others decided that he'd passed the (15 year) audition and signed him up as an equal partner. Now, at a mere 62 years old, he is the baby of the group, and despite some well-publicized personal problems, he continues to play, tour, paint and write with as much energy as ever.

Hardly hysteric...might even say ecstatic!

They are probably trying to make corrections,(there are many at rollingstones.com) and because Ronnie is not involved in the Exile promotions someone has made this change. I would say just another mistake on the site. Until any anouncement he is a Rolling Stone.

Yes, good. We'll go with that then.

Good! F him off for Jimmy Ripp!

nice to see stu there as complete stone!! well alright. true dat!

yeah weird on ronnie... oh well. i saw ron with stones in 75 while he was 'on loan' from small faces pop group. yeah weird. mixed emotions. ron made absolute history with jeff beck first two albums. for sure and for real. those amidst the most important seminal rock albums EVER recorded. paving the road for zep with this original onslaught of brilliance beckian style...

Faces long one of my uber faves. saw them fillmore east circa 70 71 and it was the real deal. stunning. absolutely overwhelmingly stunning. in that particular room too. my my my. wondrous...

ron, sounds like an epitaph sorry....also brilliant on many of the greatest rock albums ever when rod the mod bod was all country comforts not thinkng spandex sexy like a clownass mofo....
some of ron's acoustic work just stunningly tender and beautiful. he was also great in faces and they had only one guitar. !!! but they had rollin' mac...which is quite a big deal; and why the ROlling Stones don't have mcClagen is beyond me mateys....

great again seminal imo, rock rhythm crunch sounds of majesty; check ron strutting the rhythm thang sweet little rock and roller from one of rods albums....

well ron, at this point...i just say good luck. you had a longer run than you really worked for...all things considered...i mean really caring growing taking over when necessary REALLY supporting keith....oh well. mixed emotions. ron's a good lad. and had done so much. he's not that much more pathetic than a lot of those rockers his age tho....my my....mixed emotions....how stonian to do it like this...mick's a killer...we'll see....mebbe they jst scaring the shit out of ronnie...hawww.. could be....

i seriously doubt that ronnie has been kicked out. even if he were to be canned i seriously doubt they would get mick taylor to replace him. mick jagger would simply play more guitar onstage and in the studio and/or hire a guitarist that would not be an official member of the band.

If Ronnie is out of the band and it's up to Keith to do whatever then it will be a really tall order for one queer...

Let's see...the Stones are near full retirement..they decide, in 2010, to get rid of Ronnie....sure, that makes sense...

For what it's worth...Ronnie is still listed as a member of The Rolling Stones on their Facebook page.

jags can't cover rhythm git and the front the way he does it.
and he probably can't rhythm git either, aside from a few numbers. lets face it.
u right imo they won't make anybody else 'official'...
the taylor thing? who knows...???
