Pimp out your webpage with PimpWebpageRonald David Wood (born June 1 ,1947 in London ) is an English rock guitarist and painter best known as a member of The Rolling Stones and The Faces .Career1960sWood began his career in 1964 with the Birds , based in Yiewsley ,Middlesex . By the late 1960s , he was part of The Creation , then joined the Jeff Beck Group as a bass player together with singer Rod Stewart . They split up, however, after Beck-Ola in 1969 . 1970sWith Rod Stewart, Ron joined The Small Faces shortly after leader Steve Marriott had left the group. The band's name soon was shortened to simply The Faces . Though mostly known in the United States as Rod Stewart's former backup band, the Faces were very successful in the UK , for a brief time even rivaling The Rolling Stones in popularity. They were a popular live act, and their music is recognized today as sharing an ethos with the future punk rock movement. The New York Dolls ,The Replacements ,The Black Crowes ,Pearl Jam , and Stereophonics all bear the group's influence. The Faces split up in 1975 .During the 1970s , Wood released several solo albums, including a collaboration with ex-Faces bandmate Ronnie Lane ,Mahoney's Last Stand (1976 ).Following Mick Taylor 's departure from the Rolling Stones in 1974 , Wood performed with the group on its 1975 tour, then contributed to its 1976 album Black and Blue ,before being ultimately announced as Taylor's replacement. Wood would become a major contributor to the band during the next 3 decades.In the Rolling Stones, Wood specializes in playing slide guitar and pedal steel guitar , and contributes to one-half of the " ancient form of weaving ". He also occasionally plays bass guitar , such as during 1975 concert performances of "Fingerprint File," when Mick Jagger played rhythm guitar and bassist Bill Wyman moved to synthesizer . Rolling Stones singles such "Emotional Rescue" also feature Wood on bass. He has been given credit as a cowriter for a handful of songs, such as "Black Limousine" and "Pretty Beat Up." "Ronny" was seen as one of the best guitarists in the world.1980sThroughout the 1980s , Wood played as a member of the Rolling Stones, continued his solo career and painted, and collaborated with a number of other artists, including Bob Dylan ,David Bowie ,Eric Clapton ,Bo Diddley and Aretha Franklin .In 1988 Ron opened "Woody's on the Beach," a one of a kind venue featuring a house band headed up by Bobby Keys, hosting a continuos stream of artist friends of Woody's, and providing a venue for local acts to perform original music with no pressure to play "cover" tunes. The stage was up close and personal with the entertainers literally feet away from the crowd. Ron played whenever he was in town, with friends, or the local band of the week. The defunct Hotel which housed the Club allowed for Woody to set up a world class backstage VIP area upstairs, displaying Woody's artworks, and providing a private party area for the Musicians and their guests, local nightclub VIP's, politicians ect.Although Woody's pioneered the club scene transitioning the neighborhood of South Beach (the Mariel boatlift had flooded the streets with all of Castro's misfits), and was highly successful, it was closed by Woody amidst a flury of complaints from the then perdominantly geriatric neighbors who found it too loud, despite the wave of security (11 "locomotive shaped bouncers") and prosperity (expanded development of the areas tourism) it fostered.At the Live Aid Concert in Philadelphia , Wood along with Keith Richards performed in the penultimate set with Bob Dylan . During the performance of "Blowing in the Wind", Dylan broke a guitar string. Wood gave Dylan his guitar in order to keep the performance seamless. RecentlyWhile also continuing as a member of the Rolling Stones, in 1993, Wood appeared with Rod Stewart on MTV's Unplugged , which resulted in a hit album. After the tour that Rod Stewart undertook across the U.S. in 2004 they expressed intentions to finish the studio work on their forthcoming album entitled I'll Strut, You'll Sing .He continues to struggle with alcoholism , although reports indicate that he has been clean since the Licks tour of 2002 and 2003 . Wood has also cut down on his cigarette smoking . He now smokes no cigarettes after 4:00 pm. Religious followers of Rolling Stones bootlegs have noticed a marked improvement in Wood's guitar playing since quitting drinking. Ron Wood currently lives in the town of Clane ,Ireland .my mates! |
