If you take in consideration that we can compare most of Ron's noodling throughout his entire Stones career with Taylor's noodling these days, I agree.

Oh c'mon, lets move a bit forward from the 70's and 80's....

2 of my favourite Ronnie solo's are:


- Happy @ at Tokyo Dome 1990 (looks like Keith wants him to take another go at it, since it went down so well!)

- Start me up @ MTV music awards 1994 (simply awesome)

Lately, listening to the recent performances, he seems too sober, eager to please - plays a bit nervously, lacking some feeling and depth. Like YCAGWYW Toronto, where he starts great with that slow line, but things get speedy/staccato thereafter. Damn, would love to hear Mick.T attempt that one again.

One.....Hey Negrita, studio. Faster than Keith, sloppier than MT, PERFECT for Negrita. Ronnie brought in black music that wasn't blues.

I know Ronnie sucks and Mick Taylor is the new Jimi Hendrix...............please Ronnie has had some good moments over the years. He is not Mick Taylor but he does not suck either as some people on this forum think.

This thread is a bit patronic, Ronnie is more of a raunchy rhythmic filler than a soloist - like in Hey Negrita. On this tour I like his general playing, he's great with Keith, but would rather hear M.T doing the solos. Keeping things fresh and exciting, Ronnie's played so many solo's the past 30+ years, that it's ok if he didn't.

Ronnie sounded great in Las Vegas - much better than Keith.

this is true.

his great period of guitar playing was The Faces and early Stones.
nothing jumps out as "greatest solo" as there was never anything spectacular with his work...however alot of his stuff with the Faces was first class.

YCAGWYW on July 13th?
Try July 10th! Available in EX quality on numerous bootlegs.No doubt that this solo beats July 13th.

Love In Vain in Memphis 78....? Seems like you believe the recording-info on "bootlegs" is correct. Only 2 songs from Memphis 78 is available in SBD quality; Shattered and Hound Dog

....and why would you mention the horrible sounding AUD rec of Memphis 78 here ?

Ronnie and Keith play very well together. Some nights better than others, They've both had their down tours for sure Ronnie in 1994 and 1997 was not very good at all and Keith covered him. Ronnie covered Keith in 2006. Ronnie is not a great soloist he is a good rythmic filler and compliments Keith really well at least through Dirty Work (no this does not mean I like this turd) after that the Stones have changed as a band. THe Stones were growing stale in 1974 and that is not a shot at MT. Keith's drug use was sapping his creative abilities of which he never totally recovered, MJ was jet setting and he and Keith were growing apart as people, Charlie and Bill were along for the ride but were growong bored. MT's solos were becoming long and predictable and he was not getting any royalties for his creativity so he left. Ronnie came in and gave the band a boost. Black and Blue is a good album but the energy that is on Some Girls is incredible the band was reborn as evidenced by all the out takes some of which are still not released. If MT had stayed in the Stones I don't know what would have happened. Ronnie deserves credit for giving the band new life. Was it better than Exile on Main Street? To a few yes and to a lot of us, me included no but he did bring energy back to the Stones along with Keith beating smackand MJ dumping Bianca and not running around to stuido 54 all the time. Cut Ronnie some slack.
