I'm definitely getting a ZZ Top vibe off this bad boy.
Yowza!
Billy Gibbons is featured on the album.

Nice. But if it was not Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones this cut would never see the light of the day or mean anything. As a song it would not had made A BIGGER BANG. It would need the master mind of some real song writer to make it a Rolling Stones song. The guitars are as generic as it can be (I agree with "999" reference, and the ZZ Top bit as well). Reminds me bit of UNDRCOVER/DIRTY WORK era when Ronnie's influence seemed to be strongest among the Stones camp.
But, a good point: the track shows that the rock guitar is still in Ronnie's veins. If his mind & life will be okay, he would be not be the weak link in the forecoming Stones projects. He is a proper rock and roll guitarist. (Plus a decent song writer and a bad singer).
And, a great point: great to see and hear Ronnie in productive, positive sense. Enough of crap publicity!

And what do you think about Sweetness - wouldn't that track have seen the light of day with another songwriter? My guess, it would. Awesome track.

The quality of songwriting make the difference between good and bad rock and roll songs. From this point of view probably Ron Wood's new single will not change the story of rock and roll.
Nevertheless, this has balls, it IS 100% rock and roll. Lets not understimate this aspect, because it is essential! To record stuff like this, to record a rock and roll song, first you have to be of the kind of Ron Wood.
I have met thousands of wannabies in my life with loud mouths. The EVERYBODY-CAN-DO-THIS kind of people. I would like to be able to post some of their "best" works here. You would see songs like Back to Zero form a completely new perspective.

You know the thing is if this would be with Mick's voice and called the Rolling Stones every one would break the house down here on IORR (incl the Woody bashers). And than add to it that there was a threat here recently that Wandering Spirit was the best "Stones" album of the last 30 yrs, plus the longing aired by many for Taylor's solo guitar touch. Just make your calculations (Jagger, Wood, Taylor, Watts and the whole back-up team, and the Stones are back in business again). It's time for Keith to acknowledge the truth of his situation, his legacy is established allready and is legendary and unbeatable, just don't drag the band you claim to love down with your fall, but let them go free out off your claws and fly high ones more for the last time.

you are kidding right? its better than half the songs on ABB IMO, as an album abb flopped sales wise, it was just another excuse to go out on another massive world tour to make a ton of money playing the old warhorses
