Ronnie released a 30th anniversary of his Flatbed Truck print. It is absolutely beautiful.

let me get this straight - it took about 16 years for ron to get off a regular wage and start getting paid a percentage of the earnings. darryl started in '94 (right?) so he's just got 4 more years until he's an official stone?

>> so he's just got 4 more years until he's an official stone? <<

well, it's not automatic that after X years one becomes "official" - the existing members either agree to making someone a full partner or not.

Here ya go Erik....yeah nice to have 1234 on disc...Priceless

i know, i was just joking and almost used a smiley face but heard they were banned...

but just wondering, before '93 was ron part of the final bow? and did he ride in the bus with the rest of the band?

That's a classic.. I always wondered why Charlie was always holding the guitar back then.

in the book, the RS Chronicles by Massimo Bonano, he says that it was offically announced on February 28, 1976, that Woody was joining the Stones.

The Faces didn't officially break up until December 1975 and they were still touring late fall 1975.

Personally, I think of Ronnie as being a Stone since 1975.

I'm glad I bought the Wood albums from the 70s, when they where still available in the early 90s. I couldn't imagine growing up, without having them.
I listened to I've Got My Own ALbum to Do yesterday, it's such a gentle album.
I like it when Take a Look At The Guy goes directly into Act Together.
On the IORR album, Ain't Too Proud To Beg went directly into IORR. That really fits so nicely....too bad they didn't keep it like that on the CD release.
I'll buy 1234 now....
Thanks Rockman!

Suddenly I saw that the amazon-page was kind of hard to understand.....

Im gonna drink black beer tonight!!!Hail Ronnie!!!

daryl is not a stone or going to be one, he is never up there at press confs
and he is never on album covers, ronnie does both, even when he first started
so its not even an issue about daryl becoming a stone, he is not and thats it
he is a hired hand and no more a stone than bernard or lisa or chuck

If you take a technical measure of time, I guess that's true.

When you look at the rate of change in the musical world during the 60's, say from '64 to '66, or '66 to '68, etc., the pace was breathtaking. Entire careers and whole trends would come and go in just over a year.

The recently discussed Lovin' Spoonful lasted a little longer than that: they first charted in Aug. '65, and their last single with Sebastian was released in late '67.

By the early '70's ("the '60's" spilled over for a few years--culturally in America, they ended with Nixon's "Peace With Honor" troop withdrawal and POW return in early '73. The 70's began that year with the unfolding Watergate investigations and the first oil crisis/gas shortage in the U.S.) the rate of change in the music world had SLOWED way down. (It was very frustrating to music fans, but hey, the guys didn't have to worry about getting drafted anymore.)

In '71 (which I consider still part of the '60's) Marvin Gaye released "What's Going On?" which was a major statement and giant leap from his previous work. In '73, his follow up was called, "Let's Get It On," which is a great song in it's way, but more of a step sideways than forward. The difference between the two says a lot about the two decades.

My point is, back in the '60's a year for a rocker was a whole different measure of time. It was more like a "dog year" i.e. 1 year in a human's life = 7 years in a dog's life!

After four decades of the Stones, it seems like The Beatles had a very short career. But in 1968, the year of Hey Jude and the "White" album, their journey was already a very long and winding road. Fellow British Invasion groups like The Dave Clark Five had fallen by the wayside what seemed like a millenium earlier. That same year, when the Stones put out Jumping Jack Flash and Beggars Banquet, Eric Burdon, who seemed a credible R&B challenger to the Stones in the beginning, was barely hanging on with his soon to be defunct second version of The Animals.

The 60's (whatever years you assign them) took a long, long time.

By the time Ronnie started touring with the Stones, the music world had slowed down, and FM rock radio became focused on the music world's then-recent past. It was the beginning of the "classic rock" format. If the Stones had broken up around the time Taylor left, their place in history was already secure.

My point of this whole history lesson is, while technically Ronnie may have been a Stone longer than Bill, the time-frame that Bill weathered with the band makes his tenure with the group longer in a different way.

Loog Droog, that's a good analys of time related POP music.
You are probaly not 18 years old.

But Daryl is a good soul..and he is from chicago!!!!Hey Daryl I know your mum is watching!!!

good for him , but he is not a stone

I couldn't imagine a Stones show without Ronnie any more than it would be acceptable to call it a Stones show without Mick, Keith or Charlie

100% correct

He is a rock!!!

Wich albums from Ronnie Wood solo would you advise me to buy?

marquess..the first two for starters.....I've Got My Own Album To Do & Now Look.

er..no

Ronnie joined the Rolling Stones officially on 28.2.76. However, (like Taylor) he was paid a salary and this lasted until such a time (ie, when they signed the Virgin contract - without Bill) when he became a shareholder

Darryl Jones was never signed as a member of the Stones, but a sideman. And will never be anything more than that. He's a hired hand. They could dispense with his services at any time, should they wish to do so. With Ronnie, its somewhat different as hes a band member.

Ronnie has dispensed of his own services through years of drug/drinking.
