Yes, childlike wonder with how lucky he got, given his mediocre level of developed talent (learn a few minor pentatonic blues licks, a few bar chords, and you'er in !!.) He should be smiling and astounded about his good fortune. He must feel like a lottery winner.
@kevinmichael9482 Yes, Kevin, indeed. The Stones wanted Jeff Beck, but I think that Jeff was intense as a serious student of music theory, and interested in more avante guarde types of sound, enough so as to not fit into the "Stones reciple." Sometimes, less is more. Ronnie comes across as a nice chap, on camera. That's always good for PR (and not doing or saying embarassing things for the band.) He is a good, interview, too. He's a good PR guy, in addition to Mick and Keith's PR work. He's kind of safe in his interviews. He never comes across as caustic. Ronnie will tow the company line and be amiable.
Ken, let's take a small peek at Rockin' Ronnie Woods resume. Jeff Beck Group - Bass Guitar Faces - Lead Guitars Vox Rod Stewart - Lead Guitars BacVox Rolling Stones - Guitars, Steel Guitar, Acoustic Guitars, BacVox Not bad, for his 1st 10 years in the business. We should all be so lucky, eh?
We got married at the Stones concert in TX two years ago. Right after the nuptials and my wife throwing the wedding bouquet into the audience, a couple walked up to us and mentioned that he is friends with Steve Jordan (he showed us pictures of them together at his home the night before). The guy texted Steve after meeting us to let him know that he just met a couple who got married in front of the stage before the show. A few moments later, stagehands came out, called us right up near the stage and said, "these are from Ronnie, he says congratulations" and handed us guitar picks they told us Ronnie had been using earlier in the day during rehearsal. About 10 minutes after that, more stagehands came out with drumsticks and said, "Steve wants you to have these." Kind of a cool way to start off the marriage lol. We love Ronnie, we love Steve, we love the Stones -- the greatest band of all time.
LOVED Ronnie's bass playing on those first couple Jeff Beck Group albums!! A true legend. An amazing guitar player. An amazing songwriter. Long Live Ronnie Wood.😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were and still are my 2 favorite music groups of all time. I never saw the Beatles live although I saw them on TV the night they first played on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 then I saw The Rolling Stones live 3 times in Toronto in 1989, 1992 and 2004. All 3 times they were for me the best group in the world. I bought a lot of there LPs, CDs and DVD's when they first came out.
It was media hype, designed to sell magazines and newspapers. The groups benefitted from it, though. It put a focus on them (which translated into sales.)
The Beatles, hands down #1 greatest band....took us from the end of the actual "Rock 'n' Roll" days, all the way to the synthesizer & modern sounding music. But I have to say the single greatest concert I ever attended... and I saw almost all of the influential classic rock bands (including the influential punk bands)...the Rolling Stones was the greatest concert band ever.
Saw the Stones in 65' and the Beatles in 64' and haven't been the same since! 😂. Beatles #1 for me and Stones #2. Whoever your favorite is we were so blessed to grow up duribg that time with the best music ever! ☮️♥️🎵
I read this somewhere a while back it said that the thing with the Beatles a little bit more than the Rolling Stones that came up on the scene about 1962 The Beatles go so far back almost to the beginning of rock and roll here in the states they go so far back they're almost their own roots and that made a profound impact on me reading that and it has always stuck with me
Ronnie is a Gemini through and through. He has multiple interests and talents. Have you seen any of his artwork? I also think he’s very friendly and I am happy for him with his renewed health and beautiful wife and family.
Love that man! And that is so wonderful about Rolling Stones. They have always been people you absolutey must love. Theyre people you wanna have a beer with. How many bands are like that?
There was never any rivalry between the Beatles and the Stones, except in the minds of Stones fans. The Beatles were always the first to do something new and the Stones were always among the first to follow. Literally in EVERY respect.
Nope. Mick always deluded himself into thinking he was a rival of the Beatles. Poor bloke even once talked the Stones into trying to do a Beatle-like album. It failed. They never had that breadth of talent. More or less stuck in the blues scale.
Have any of you even listened to The Rolling Stones music? They only copied the Beatles a few times, a period over three years. Now every beatle freak says the stones only copied the Beatles. They didn’t copy them when they began as a blues band. And beginning with beggars banquet and working with jimmy miller they became a blues rock band again after a brief flirtation with pop music. The music they made with jimmy miller is some of the greatest and most influential music in rock and roll. Bands like AC/DC , Aerosmith , and New York dolls picked up on what they were doing at that time with open tunings and having the drums follow the guitar. In a way the stones ended up being more influential than the Beatles. I hear more open tunings than harmonies and jazz chords.
Bumped into Mick Jagger at 4.30 one morning in summer walking through Richmond when nobody else was around I asked him if he was on his way home to bed. He said 'No, paper-round'. Left it there and we both kept walking. Surreal.
We look at them and see they are very old and at the end. Makes us feel sad. But they don't wanna talk about it and neither do we! If its goodbye, Hackney Diamonds is a stunning farewell. Maybe there's one more. They are living legends.
Historically, there has always been two ongoing discussions regarding the Rolling Stones. "Who is the greatest rock and roll band of all time the Beatles or the Stones," and "Who is the greatest rock and roll band of all time Led Zepplin or the Stones?" The fact that they are in the running in both the sixties and the seventies kind of makes the answer obvious. (No band after the seventies is even in the running).
With all the sad news in the world today, it's nice that we're also living at a time when the Stones put out a new album, the Beatles are putting out a new song, and Talking Heads have reunited to promote an old movie.
To call any band greater than The Beatles requires all sorts of qualifiers, but it just doesn't wash. The Stones were great, but they are, like every other great band, openers for The Beatles.
No i loved the stones but the Beatles have to come joint top with them and we should all be very grateful that the best two bands brought so much joy to us all and we were there for the ride ,truly we had it all and i will always be truly grateful
I've always thought of The Beatles as the greatest 'Pop' band (as in popular music). The Stones have always been the greatest 'Rock and Roll' band, in my humble opinion. I can never understand the vitriole in some of the comments regarding people's opinion of who is "The Best". It doesn't matter a jot, as everybody's view is subjective, just enjoy them both. The Beatles archive is truly fantastic, but The Stones have obviously played hundreds of shows more, and also Jagger's voice is still in super condition, while McCartney's is definitely much weaker than in his prime (understandably).
Love the stones. Not as much as the Beatles but it's the Beatles, there is no best when it comes to music bands, it's art, there is no good or bad, right or wrong
MR wood, What part did you have in the creating of these songs? What was your roleIn the creation of She's The Boss, Jagger album? Did you Any of the songs, eg JUST ANOTHER NIGHT?? Hmmm?
That Mick quite about "Satisfaction" is hilarious. Here the dude is 80 years old and still singing it as the final encore.......Just saw the band a few days ago in Atlanta.
The Beatles were the best band ever, and even the Stones know it. They just don't say it because of their fans. But they may well be the greatest rock band still in action.
The Stones have said that the Beatles paved the way, and changed Western culture, but who is the greatest band ever is one's personal taste. There is no right or wrong, it is which band's music gets in your soul.
@@HamiltonRb that is the definition of "favourite", not greatest. A lot of people don't (particularly) enjoy Bach, but acknowledge he's the greatest baroque composer because of his innovative contributions to the genre.
@@jods1 In my opinion the greatest is who you think is the greatest, and it varies by taste in music, to the era you grew up. Ask a 15 yr old and a 75 yr who was the greatest of all time, and you get different answers. Same as the greatest singer, greatest guitar player etc. It is just an opinion, no one is right and gets to decide who is the greatest at anything
Why do people put such ultra-specific captions on vids, when, in this case, the Beatle was mentioned for - - what - - 15 seconds of the 10 minute vid??? =smh=
They are both equally great bands. Both had their unique style so it is a preference to each individuals taste who is the best. Don't also forget Elvis, Michael Jackson and bands like ABBA who diversified and are still ever popular even though their style was not rock. We will likely never see trail blazers like these two groups again who have managed to remain popular for over 60 years.
When you consider the history of the band and its longevity, plus all its hits and record sales, it certainly has to be the greatest rock and roll band.
@@Mozart1220 it's all subjective but i agree with you. it's like saying X was the greatest in his/her sport. you might think X is the greatest tennis player and i wildly disagreed. not likely either would change our mind. if they played in different eras it's unproveable.
Here’s the play… short tour for Stones with Paul and Ringo as rhythm section. Or should I say The Beatles with Jagger, Keef and Ronnie?? Play from both catalogues - set list is musicians choice. Do it now while you can. Who’s in??
Ronnie always springs up a surprise. Question: Which in your opinion is the world's greatest band? Ronnie:It has got to be Louis Armstrong and his Hot 5!
Everyone knows that the Beatles are the greatest band of all time. Even Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues admitted The Beatles have their own planet and they live on it alone. No one is even close. At least the Beatles played in tune. Lennon and McCartney are the greatest writing duo that have ever lived and George Harrison is even better.
George will always be my favourite Beatle, but his songwriting does not better Jagger & Richards. In moments yes, but their back catalogue is huge and great.
@@graemecreegan6749 I'm sorry but I can't make any sense out of that. I am a 60 year musician and I know musical talent and Harrison is superior to Jagger and Richards. I fight about this all the time with my wife.
@@dennisblair3186 musical talent and songwriting ability are not necessarily the same thing. Most of the best musicians have never composed anything of note, as you could most probably attest to personally. I love George, love The travelling Wilburys but for me, jagger and Richard’s have written more stone cold classics than George. But it’s all subjective, and probably the fact that I’ve seen the stones live a couple of times but never seen George, adds to my appreciation of their hits. (I certainly have a greater appreciation of Paul McCartneys solo songs after having watched him live last week in Newcastle, NSW)
I didn't know Ronnie Wood had cancer. Glad they were able to get rid of. I had cancer non -Hodgkin lymphoma and had 6 rounds of chemo and they got rid of it. I also get period checks. Keith has got the genes of almost a superman.
at dylan's 30th anniversary concert, both wood and harrison played covers of zimmie. george wore a purple velvet suit! and was introduced by chrissie hynde as a "guitar hero." (wood played 7 DAYS). not making the cd, nor the dvd, was harrison playing and singing IF NOT FOR YOU, which had previously appeared on ALL THINGS MUST PASS.
it's amazing when you consider there all in there 80s & still rocking hard & this fallacy that the stones & beatles were in competition with each other is untrue they equally respected each other & would attend each others concerts regularly & would release there up & coming singles /albums alternatively so they wouldn't clash ,which goes for all the other bands of the day , the who, kinks , moody blues , gerry & the pacemakers ,procol harem etc & were all good mates in reality, as shown in recent years , at charity events or tribute concerts & in some cases inducted each other into the rock & roll Hall of fame ..
Yes Virginia the Greatest Rock & Roll Band" in the World, they are indeed the Rolling Stones. The era of 68' Beggars Banquet, 69' Let It Bleed, the incredible 71' Sticky Fingers, 72' (Masterpiece), Exile on Main Street (Masterpiece), 78' Some Girls, cannot compare with the Beatles. The Stones owned the 1970's like no one before. Forget Elvis, glorified Lounge Act, sung covers mostly, never took chances. #2 a tie between Led Zepp & Pink Floyd, both grew and developed from their first steps away from the crib. . . I'd no want to think of a world without any of these guys. How lucky we all are. New Stones Album has legs, carries itself well. maybe the last the way these guys work, but the vault is where the next treasures are kept - we'll get them in 10 years one Christmas as well.
All the 'rivalry' between the Beatles and the Stones was actually a facade. They were actually the best of friends in the business and had each others backs - John Lennon and Paul McCartney even did backup vocals on the 1967 single "We Love You" to support Mick and Keith who faced the long arm of the law over drug charges.
Ronnie Wood's conversations are always so wonderful. Always comes off with childlike wonder about what he 'gets' to do in life.
Yes, childlike wonder with how lucky he got, given his mediocre level of developed talent (learn a few minor pentatonic blues licks, a few bar chords, and you'er in !!.) He should be smiling and astounded about his good fortune. He must feel like a lottery winner.

Jeff Beck Group - Bass Guitar
Faces - Lead Guitars Vox
Rod Stewart - Lead Guitars BacVox
Rolling Stones - Guitars, Steel Guitar, Acoustic Guitars, BacVox
Not bad, for his 1st 10 years in the business.
We should all be so lucky, eh?
@@KenTeel - He was a great bass player though, check his albums with Jeff Beck feat. Rod Stewart...
@kevinmichael9482 - Ringo Starr was The Best Beatle!
God bless Ronnie. So happy that he is doing well. Thank you for a great interview.❤

"We gotta look after the planet otherwise what's going to be left for Keith to enjoy"? Ain't that the best quote of 2023? Thanks Ron.
Living legends! So glad we’re able to enjoy yet another release by this amazing band. One of the greatest no doubt!!
Nicely done! Fun piece with Ronnie.
A Rolling Stone making a Keith joke floored me. You rock Ronnie!
The host is an excellent interviewer and Ronnie a great subject to interview.
Love this good dude, Ronnie. Thanks.
Praise God for the good prognosis from the doc there Ronnie. That brings tears to my eyes big brother ❤
The rivalry between The Beatles and The Stones wasn't between the bands but among the fans.
The Beatles were rivals/admirers of The Beach Boys/ Brian Wilson more than the were with The Stones
Agreed, The Stones were at their best once The Beatles broke up, when they were together, The Beatles were dimensions above them musically.
Wasn't much rivalry among the fans either. The Beatles and Stones would coordinate to stagger their releases and rock fans would buy both
It was media hype, designed to sell magazines and newspapers. The groups benefitted from it, though. It put a focus on them (which translated into sales.)
best of british both bands made thier own history
Ronnie also a great painter
Macca is mentioned for somewhere between 28 and 31 seconds total in the whole video.

But I have to say the single greatest concert I ever attended... and I saw almost all of the influential classic rock bands (including the influential punk bands)...the Rolling Stones was the greatest concert band ever.
I agree BeatIe best band - but aIso best in concert. I may be biased because I was infected with incurable BeatIemania at an earIy age.
Saw the Stones in 65' and the Beatles in 64' and haven't been the same since! 😂. Beatles #1 for me and Stones #2. Whoever your favorite is we were so blessed to grow up duribg that time with the best music ever! ☮️♥️🎵

Love Ronnie. Just love the guy. Know who else does? Mick & Keith.
Ron Wood, what a good guy.
Keef used to joke “I don’t know how I’m still alive” totally cracked me up 😂😂 7:15
“Plenty of riffs on the back burner” Excellent interview.
While listening the Rolling Stones and Ronnie's talking, it just comes to my mind how life is victorious in the end and how always will be. ❤
Ronnie Woods interviews are so magical he’s curious always always thinking His brain is certainly switched on brilliant interview
Ronnie is a Gemini through and through. He has multiple interests and talents. Have you seen any of his artwork? I also think he’s very friendly and I am happy for him with his renewed health and beautiful wife and family.
Great questions, great interviewer, Ronnie on great form as ever. Ooh la la.

Charlie Watts was a member of the 'Stones from 1963-2021. RIP Charlie.

That is cool
Wonderful person, humongous soul, for real..
a soul to match his Nose . . .

Keep well Ronnie
Stones number 1 for me and many other
This Rolling Stones album is promising 😊

I thought I heard that they either have enough material for another album or are working on one.
yep ..the Blaxx take over now . . .. .
Mick says that they are 2/3 into the next album. So, stay tuned…
Greatest Rock and Roll Band EVER!!!
Rock On, Ronnie!. Peace & ❤️ 👍

I don’t think so, you don’t hear other bands or singers being influenced by the stones. Yes they are awesome but they’ll always be 2.
Deep down Ronnie kept thinking Beatles being the greatest band of all time. 😂
No i loved the stones but the Beatles have to come joint top with them and we should all be very grateful that the best two bands brought so much joy to us all and we were there for the ride ,truly we had it all and i will always be truly grateful
Top 5, but nobody tops the lads from Liverpool.
the rivalry was more in the press than between the bands
Love me some Ron Wood. ❤
Feel like Ronnie is really underrated.
agree 110%
Absolutley! Keef and his weave brother keep on keeping on.
No he's not. Very avge. Far better painter than a guitar player. Thousands of pub guitarists that can play with their eyes shut than him.
Wonderful interview...
Great interview
LOL Ronnie Wood making a Keith Richards will inherent the earth joke is just *Chefs Kiss*
OK, good point, Lets say they had shared custody of an amazing decade . . .🤘🎹🎶
"Led Zeppelin"............."'Pink Floyd", "Rolling Stones",....ETC! The 60's and 70's, best era for music.
I've always thought of The Beatles as the greatest 'Pop' band (as in popular music). The Stones have always been the greatest 'Rock and Roll' band, in my humble opinion. I can
never understand the vitriole in some of the comments regarding people's opinion of

them both. The Beatles archive is truly fantastic, but The Stones have obviously played
hundreds of shows more, and also Jagger's voice is still in super condition, while

It would have been fabulous if Ringo had drummed on a track or two.
Absolutely brilliant Idea ! ! 🤙🌝
You never know. Ringo is busy with his own band right now. But the possibility exists.
Love the stones. Not as much as the Beatles but it's the Beatles, there is no best when it comes to music bands, it's art, there is no good or bad, right or wrong
both are deff best of many good early british bands

Everyone knows that the Beatles are the greatest band of all time. Even Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues admitted The Beatles have their own planet and they live on it alone. No one is even close. At least the Beatles played in tune. Lennon and McCartney are the greatest writing duo that have ever lived and George Harrison is even better.
Justin Hayward is correct. Any person who seriously studies music would agree with him, unless they have an extreme bias.
George will always be my favourite Beatle, but his songwriting does not better Jagger & Richards. In moments yes, but their back catalogue is huge and great.
But honestly they're not My favorite band of all time - i like the who More - I'm not saying I'm not a fan but there's others more important to me
@@graemecreegan6749 I'm sorry but I can't make any sense out of that. I am a 60 year musician and I know musical talent and Harrison is superior to Jagger and Richards. I fight about this all the time with my wife.

God bless Charlie, the Ringo Starr of the Stones
My guess is the stones were much more excited to work with McCartney.
They were happy to invite others into this newest venture. That’s true confidence and friendship!
What a great bass player he was and even better guitar player! Still the greatest part of him is like he nice and funny is! Great musician!
Yes I'm very proud of my humility.
Beatles.... Greatest by FAR..... not even close.
Ronnie is Sound! :)
Love Woody, Ive seen him probably a dozen times betweeen The Stones, The Faces, with Rod Stewart and even with the New barbarians
When did they collaborate
"I mean, we gotta look after the planet because otherwise what's gonna be left for Keith to enjoy?"
Best line EVER.
at dylan's 30th anniversary concert, both wood and harrison played covers of zimmie. george wore a purple velvet suit! and was introduced by chrissie hynde as a "guitar hero." (wood played 7 DAYS). not making the cd, nor the dvd, was harrison playing and singing IF NOT FOR YOU, which had previously appeared on ALL THINGS MUST PASS.
I saw them at knebworth 1976 Ronnies first big gig
it's amazing when you consider there all in there 80s & still rocking hard & this fallacy that the stones & beatles were in competition with each other is untrue they equally respected each other & would attend each others concerts regularly & would release there up & coming singles /albums alternatively so they wouldn't clash ,which goes for all the other bands of the day , the who, kinks , moody blues , gerry & the pacemakers ,procol harem etc & were all good mates in reality, as shown in recent years , at charity events or tribute concerts & in some cases inducted each other into the rock & roll Hall of fame ..
But if you try sometime, you'll get what you need....
Brian thought the Beatles were the best by a long way. I got that from the Horses mouth !!
Yes Virginia the Greatest Rock & Roll Band" in the World, they are indeed the Rolling Stones. The era of 68' Beggars Banquet, 69' Let It Bleed, the incredible 71' Sticky Fingers, 72' (Masterpiece), Exile on Main Street (Masterpiece), 78' Some Girls, cannot compare with the Beatles. The Stones owned the 1970's like no one before. Forget Elvis, glorified Lounge Act, sung covers mostly, never took chances. #2 a tie between Led Zepp & Pink Floyd, both grew and developed from their first steps away from the crib. . . I'd no want to think of a world without any of these guys. How lucky we all are.
New Stones Album has legs, carries itself well. maybe the last the way these guys work, but the vault is where the next treasures are kept - we'll get them in 10 years one Christmas as well.
Bowie owned the 1970s.
charming boy!
The greatest band in history is unquestionably The Beatles. The Rolling Stones don't even come close.
Touched my hear when he got a bit choked up talking about Charlie.
Love this man, so animated and funny.
The Beatles are the Greatest!
Ronnie lives!
All the 'rivalry' between the Beatles and the Stones was actually a facade. They were actually the best of friends in the business and had each others backs - John Lennon and Paul McCartney even did backup vocals on the 1967 single "We Love You" to support Mick and Keith who faced the long arm of the law over drug charges.
Paul is excited about music...STILL.
One awesome rock band
All in all, I really love Ronnie. He’s talented and modest. Shame on those who cast shade in him. Let’s see what YOU can do!
also he is a great painter
It was George that told DECCA to sign them!!!
Very true, ❤️🕉
I love my Stones from day 1
I love this now
Thank God Ronnie's cancer remains in remission! I don't ask for much, but please keep the Stones Rolling
