GLS, come on ,man, LOL. Leads - Solos? When does a lead become a solo?I do think I know what you mean, but to differentiate like that just becomes too subjective. One could take Ron's solo-ing on "Negrita" very much as a "solo". I think you are using placement within the song to make your qualifications.
HA HA! I guess what I call a lead is not a solo! How about "not a flat out solo"? A solo is an instrumental part of the song with the guitar soloing? A lead is soloing without it being a solo!

Hold Back is an outstanding song. It´s pure aggression and raw energy. Lots of great guitar sounds. Some people like it, some do not. I LOVE it.

I, for one agree wholeheartedly on this. It's become so expected of people on this forum to jump on the DW hating bandwagon, but this song floored me when I first heard it. Like you said, lots of aggression and energy, nasty guitar work. Good stuff. Would've been well worth trying live. And while Jagger may have had some involvement with the songs, it is so much Keith's album. That's especially evident in light of how Talk Is Cheap sounds. The only songs that sound very Jaggeresque are Winning Ugly and Back To Zero, the album's two most non-Stones sounding tracks.

Somebody somewhere somewhen invented the "I hate DW"-bandwagon and a lot of people jumped on it howling with the wolves for no other reason than the howling.

You do that a lot for other stuff so it's okay.

If you consider "Dirty Work" & "Had It With You" "shit-songs" than you might as well consider half of Some Girls "shit" and I haven´t even mentioned DW´s best songs...

The important thing is that music generates emotions and hate is a large and powerful emotion, so the Stones even with DW have done their dirty work.Quote

Ron Wood cannot be compared to Mick Taylor or Ry Cooder. They are guitar slingers, the best. You hire them and you get results.
Ron Woods doing a solo is more like Paul McCartney doing a solo, at best he will come up with something unique for the song, nothing fancy but if your lucky it fits the song. Like on Shattered at Hampton. Perfect little solo that perfectly fits the song. It's a pop-rock song solo. You wouldnt hire the guy to save a song or turn a liveshow into something much better, even otherworldly - like with Taylor - but when in the band he might have a solo or a riff a lick or some little fill that fits the song.

YCAGWYW on LA Friday.
plus 'Sway' from Sticky Fingers Live 2015.
Indeed! I get so tired of people saying Sway is never any good unless Mick Taylor's on it. On SFL, Wood does an awesome job at making the solos his own!
True, Ronnie really improved his playing between 2013-2015, maybe he started practicing again after listening back to his slightly embarrassing solo on Champagne And Reefer with Clapton in 2012?
SFT has some of his best guitar work ever with the Stones if would say.
Ronnie improved while making I Feel Like Playing.

Indeed. I still listen to it a lot. One of his best.

That is a good lead that would have been even better solo with Taylor live like in 1973. I like it but it doesnt really change the song into something bigger.

Does it have to? I don't see the need for comparing. They both did good things with this song - differently.

Yes but i compare because Taylor was so good and Wood replaced him.

Does that mean that Brian Jones was a lousy guitarist, and should be bashed?
Point is, ALL of the three second guitarists in the Stones have done a great job - in different ways.
