i agree. great spot for any stones fan. but i didn't recognize it when you called it a successful restaurant. i suppose it depends on your definition of success - which is also a point i intended with the original post, i.e. leaving the definition of success up to the board to discuss.
yes ..and he was counting, too..attention to ...details..
Can't agree more.
That was cool, but it nearly ruined him financially..
A 25-year-old Restaurant, still going strong in the heart of London? Without franchising? It must be a competitive environment, and it seems to be the focal point for Stones fans visiting London. There's hundred of such burger joints that have disappeared in that time. Bill is the face of the restaurant (what a face), but he must have a good management team and solid backing to have lasted, successfully, this long. It probably provides the old pensioner with a nice steady chunk of change. Not enough to finance his castles, but enough to pay the lights and heat. Didn't Ronnie have a place in Miami? How did that do?
Ronnie's Place lasted a few months I think..
Good point
Also in NYC
...but he drives a Honda Accord (at least to rehearsals in Burbank).
I cottoned on to that years ago.
It's because you're too cheap to hire children to pull the rickshaw on your behalf. Penny wise, pound foolish.
he did pretty well with the faces though.
Nice synopsis actually. Ronnie doesn't get the respect he deserves.
Yes, pretty sure it was down there on 2nd Ave. I know I lived right next to it for th short while it lasted.
I always come to these threads way too late. It was my first thought too: "what defines success?". But I see it has been discussed already...
W/o analyzing it too much I can easily say that when it comes to solo Stones I listen to Ronnie's albums WAY more than the others. And I love Keith's stuff, the last 2 Jagger albums, and even Bill's first two, LOL. The two Charlie albums with Bernard on vocals too.
Talk about your favorite band.

But what is success ? recent photos of Keith and Charlie with their longstanding wives and families show two happy men comfortable in their skins and accepting their age with grace - what more can you ask ?

Wyman's has had more solo records, probably toured more by now as a solo artist, has written more books (ones with better facts), and owns a successful restaurant.
have you ever been to "sticky fingers"?
I´ve been there, 1990 very soon after it opened.
Food allright - not more.
Service - normal.
But there is a lot to watch and Bill has added a lot of stuff since.
The Stones-Places from there time in the 60ies are hard to find these days.
The Marquee-club and many other places have moved to other streets or did vanished completely.
So this here is at least a spot to meet for Stones-Fans when they are in London.

Ronnie is the most successful musically IMO. He was part of a good band (jeff Beck) and an integral part of a great band before joining the stones (Faces). He wrote some great songs with Rod Stewart to help kick off Rod's career.
His solo albums have been the best musical output (although not the most commercially successful, two different things).
Not to mention Ronnie has had continually growing success with his artwork too.
Ronnie always seems to be having the most fun which suggests to me that he has a great personal life. He has had his issues, but it isn't like the others haven't either.

Glad you brought up this post.
The guy is unbelievable...turns up on a ton of records...since joining the Stones has put out 3X the solo albums than Mick and Keith and has done more touring than both of them...wrote one of their biggest hits IORR and didn't make a fuss about it...admired by all rock stars...seems like a a blast of a guy with no attitude...the Stones hit a home run with Ronnie Wood...and he
co-wrote "Stay With Me" which is a bigger hit than anything Mick and Keith put out on their own...a fabulous bar room / pool room staple...played guitar on one of the biggest records ever "Maggie May"...and makes hundreds of paintings...and did most of this stuff out of his mind...does this guy ever sleep?
