with his (Keith's) personality no, with the drinking, very possible, but I got a feeling that Keith drank a lot more then Ronnie, even with all Ronnie's trouble, I think that Keith was so looney, (wild & crazy) that he'd go over the edge very fast, & Ronnie hasn't got that personality, didn't Keith overdose on medication that was given him to overcome or battle his alcoholism?

ronnie is in his sunset years now and they say as people get older they get set in their ways... for better or worse i don't think he is going to change much at this point. if he keeps his cool i think he'll be around for awhile...at least i hope so. you can tell he is a very nice guy...hell when i met him he reached out to me before i did him.

Shit!

Reply #7 - Jan 31^st, 2009 at 5:11pm I say he will not. Moon was over the top....of the top. Ron does not strike me as a "malicious" drunk, just mellow and happy. At some point we all fear his drinking will effect his ability to play guitar and that would be tragic.

No.

Moon was what? 31 or 32 when he died? Ronnie is is twice his age and despite setbacks, is certainly not drinking to the extent he was, and certainly not to the extent that Keith Moon probably did. If Ronnie were to go the same way, it would have happend years ago, imo.

Just to confuse things: Ronnie is in his 60's now. People in their 60's die all the time.

Ron Wood is 100 years old. He has lived his life to the fullest. If he wants to continue living, then he needs to clean himself up. I don't see that happening and Ron finding his way out of this life in the next 5-10 years. it's really sad.
