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 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.

Ronnie is not a great soloist he is a good rythmic filler

I think one of Ron Wood's greatest solos is the Undercover of the Night solo

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.
