This is not a Taylor/Ronnie-discussion, and I don't know why someone talks about Ronnie here.
However, when people starts calling him a «Taylor-inspired, Hendrix wannabe» they have missed the point and don't really know what they're talking about, imo.
That was my point. I posted Hot Stuff, because it showcases Ronnie's style, which is funkier, more ragged and more rhythm-based than the ones he was compared with.
The fact that some people wanted him to be something he's not, doesn't alter that he indeed has a signature style. You can spot Woody within a tenth of a second when he plays - which is what every guitar player would dream of accomplishing: a unique voice.

Sure you can spot Ron within a split second, and every guitar player has a unique
voice, good, average or even bad, ambitious or not.

That's where I disagree
A lot of players want to sound like something or someone, but they leave their own personality by the wayside in doing so. Hence they end up sounding like copycats.
That's why I thought Travellin' Man's description of Ronnie as a player was so off.
We can like Ronnie's playing or not - that's fair and totally okay, because we all have different tastes in music. But to say that there are lots of guitar players who sound like him, is wrong, imo.

"Inspired by" would be the best. Actually that's happening as long as music
exists.
Hey, give it a blast tomorrow!

Ronnie Wood ain't the subject of this thread but since we're talking about him. I'm sure there are many guitarists influenced by him. I play and I've definitely spent time learning a lot of his licks...and Keith's. Can't say I'm technically good enough to pull off a lot of Mick Taylor's leads though.....He's in a class all his own and deviates quite a bit from the mostly pentatonic-based licks that Keith and Ronnie excel at.

This is a forum that spawns all kinds of related discussions of topics. People were mentioning they like other live albums over Ya Ya's. Albums with different line-ups. I brought up why I don't prefer those line-ups. Not sure what's wrong with that.
On the 1975 tour Wood was definitely influenced by Taylor. Quite understandable. He had been following the band and needed to get tour ready in a short amount of time. Nothing wrong with that. I just find it hard to enjoy when just two years prior somebody did it more to my taste. He comes off as wild and Hendrix inspired at times, nothing wrong with that either. I just don't feel it from him. I enjoy his playing on other tours more so than 1975*. I don't want him to be something he's not, I just don't enjoy his playing as much as you.
*Although I love that set-list.

Ronnie's amazing, as far as I'm concerned, from even before he was a Stone. The comparison's of any of them are quite silly, whether Brian, MickT, Ronnie, each has a firm place in Stones history and contributed to some amazing output during each's tenure.

Yes, they all have their place in the Stones saga. Funny - when I was a kid I was very into the Stones and then I discovered the Faces. I loved Ronnie's guitar work with them and after seeing them on TV somewhere, I thought to myself, "That Ron Wood seems like he belongs in the Stones!" Well, we all know what happened. I had a big smile on my face the day I heard on the radio that he had joined.

And before Faces, w/ Jeff Beck group as well ... I have 2 albums (beckola, and i forget name of the other). The songs are not that great, at least not to me, but there is still some fantastic guitars on some of them. I think Ronnie even does a couple Beck tunes for his solo live shows, or at least he used to.

Fair enough, but I still can't hear the musical inspiration from Hendrix in his playing.
He played a few Taylor-licks that were important for the songs, but apart from that I wouldn't say he is particularly inspired by Taylor, either. Musically, they're just too different.
But that's me..

Their greatest live album, regardless of the overdubs![/quote
Indeed, if you compare it with boots from the 1969 tour, it's clear that the overdubs merely polish up the vocals; the album still perfectly captures the spirit of what The Rolling Stones in 1969 were all about.

They won´t do that. To much time has passed, no overdubs can be done anymore. YaYa´s is loaded with overdubs, so it seems they didn´t like the original material. And that is why they probably won´t release anything from that period in the future.
