Same shit. different day.  But Keith in Mia.  he's heading north.  this is a migration in the right direction




"Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has a history of alcohol abuse, was told by guitarist Keith Richards to sober up or risk being dumped from the group's upcoming U.S. tour, according to British press reports.

But apparently it didn't stop Richards from drinking the night away with friends at Plunge rooftop bar at the Gansevoort in Miami, the New York Post reports.

Wood, 61, is still seeing Ekaterina Ivanova, the 20-year-old Russian cocktail waitress for whom he left his wife of 23 years in July"

and he always ties one on in miami before heading north. have you noticed that??

the brother is consistent I must say

Quote:


he will listen to him while drinking him under the table...

Looks like Keith is wearing wrinkly corduroy and Mick velvet.  I don't know why.

Actually, I love the crazy way both Keith and Rourke dress, but I may not be the most objective judge on this matter 

Keith better worry about his own chops............See European ABB.....

I will be vactioning in Miami Beach in three weeks.
Rest assured I WILL drink at this Club.

what is this "vay-CAY-shun" of which you speak?

i am unfamiliar with the word. please advise!

A cay (also spelled key or quay; pronounced as "key" IPA: /kiː/) is a small, low-elevation, sandy island formed on the surface of coral reefs. Cays occur in tropical environments throughout the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans (including in the Caribbean and on the Great Barrier Reef and Belize Barrier Reef), where they provide habitable and agricultural land for hundreds of thousands of people. Their surrounding reef ecosystems also provide food and building materials for island inhabitants

I suppose...

I tell ya, they gotta have songs written or some what ready at this point. Here we are coming up on March and there's much talk about a tour in the fall with a new album. Either they have already worked things out recording wise in bits here, and longer encounters here and again or I'm stumped at what they have going on or what they plan on doing? Now is the time they should be buckled down recording if an album is to come out in the fall.

Yet there is no real evidence of anything currently taking place. Surely, we do not know what they do day in and day out ...but they have been rearing their heads alot but nothing studio wise. Just attending events and having fun it seems.

*Notice how nobody in the media has actually just came out and asked in the last four or five months ..."hey, are there plans to tour or when is the next Stones album?" This is an example of the media being patient in order to ensure getting the good scoop, and being notified when the camp feels it's time to release some news. Also, in order for outlets to do an interview it is often agreed not to ask, or discuss, or print certain subject matter before the interview. That's why you never see anyone just come on out and ask "what's the dealio" when there is a strong probability it is going to happen yet they are currently keeping things under wraps.

While I myself received no less than TWO pair of purple corduroy jeans this past Xmas, I am nonetheless VERY disturbed by Keith wearing what appear to be DOCKER cords. Pleated-front chino cut? No, Keith! No!

They've got time.
After all, Ronnie and Rod knocked out the new Faces album in three days time...

Gazza Wrote:

No, its more a reflection on the sobering fact that at this stage in their career the media have little or no interest in whether the Rolling Stones ever make a new record again. A Stones tour is the media event. Most of the people who attend Rolling Stones concerts dont even buy the album they're 'promoting', so it's irrational to think the press care that much about it either.

____________________________________

Response - Well not entirely. They still ask Barry Manilow ...they still ask Pearl Jam, ....they still ask Jerry Lee Lewis   and  others that are not as big as they once were or really relevant these days. It's a common question you'd ask any working group or artist. They would ask The Stones as well.

Gazza Writes:

I'm bewildered how you've managed to interpret someone NOT asking about something as some form of evidence that 'something' IS about to be announced.

_____________________________________

Response - Because they have a new record contract that says something must go down as far as a new album goes... and no media is asking anything about a future tour, or album (again, it's probably the most common question you'd ask an artist or group if you had the chance ....especially the group with the most monetary pushing potential the world has ever seen when they tour). 

Don't get me wrong, I do not think any major press conference is scheduled next week ...but I do expect someone from their camp to at least mention, or give a definitive statement in that they are working on something recording or tour wise fairly soon enough.

Your right rollingstones.com is useless unless they are attempting to sell you something. They print news that we have normally long since known (whatever the story) as if none of us die hard Stones fans / Internet junkies heard about it.

I was speaking of possibly Don Was, or maybe someone like Chuck Levell or possibly a top rep from Universal mentioning The Stones are at work on a new album is what I was meaning. I am sure they are legally bound not to spill the beans too much but that never really stopped people as such from "blurbing" or "off-handidly mentioning" about it in the past.

Ian

Ian, will you get the new U2 this week?

Gazza wrote on Mar 1^st, 2009 at 5:54pm:



That would indeed be the more likely scenario, Ian.

I distinctly recall a story from one of the guys on IORR when they'd just finished mastering ABB, when he posted how he'd saw Was walking to his car on coming from the studio in LA, chatted to him about the new Stones album, and Was then offered to let him hear some of it. He put a CD into his car stereo and cranked up the just-mastered "She Saw Me Coming".

Something of a world exclusive, probably!
__________________________________________

It is funny you mention that. I never forgot that. I remember that very post as well. Don Was was alone and noted to them how they were basically the first in the outside world to hear it. He played it for them with his window down right there in the parking lot. The listener commented on the board how Jaggers Vocals were "sharp in the mix" and the guitars were up. I remember that as well. This is a scenario I was meaning, in which someone "spills the beans" in saying they are at work on a new album right now. Someone who would know.

don't like the new song, but it will be good live. I may wait to get it after I hear more. The last album just didn't move me. I still really dig All That You Can't Leave Behind, really!

Ronnie out of the woods
04/03/2009 14:00  - (SA)  

London - Ronnie Wood is "in great shape" and has given up drinking.  
The 61-year-old rocker - who has an ongoing alcohol problem and reportedly faced being axed from The Rolling Stones after he fell off the wagon last year - is alcohol-free, according to one-time Faces band mate Ian McLagan.
"Ronnie is in great shape and good spirits. He's not currently drinking," said keyboard player Ian - who has been in contact with Ronnie about a possible reunion.
"He slips, but he stops. He's finding his grace, and it's a struggle. He's trying really hard."
According to reports, Ronnie was warned he risked being dropped from a proposed tour of America by his Rolling Stones band mates Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts.
Pre-tour medical compulsory
"All the band have to have a compulsory pre-tour medical to make sure they can get insurance," a source explained.
"Ronnie failed his medical for the 2002/2003 tour because he was drinking seven times the recommended number of alcohol units a week. He had to spend months drying out at a clinic in Arizona.
"There are worries that could be the case again this time."
Ronnie was most recently treated for his alcohol addiction last August at the Life Works clinic in Surrey, England, following a 10-day drinking binge in Ireland with Russian girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, 20. -

Ronnie Wood, Estranged Wife 'Still Mates'
By Adam, March 3 2009
Ronnie Wood's estranged wife Jo insists she is still "good mates" with the rocker.

Despite reports at the weekend Jo, 53, was gearing up for an acrimonious divorce with Ronnie - who ran off with 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova last year - the former model insists life is too short for rowing with your ex-husband and has decided to call a truce over their split.

She tells British newspaper The Sun, "I don't want things to get messy. Me and Ronnie are really good mates now.

"You can't be with someone for 31 years and not stay good mates."

Actually Ronnie showed up at the Bernard Fowler gig in LA last Sat night:

DAN REED/BERNARD FOWLER
Singer/songwriter Dan Reed graced the stage for the first set at Joe's Joint in Los Angeles last night.
He played a solo acoustic set of poignant, heartfelt numbers.
The members of the audience truly appreiated his set, especially those who were familiar with his work.
They sang along during every number Bernard Fowler and some of his "Friends with Privileges" took the stage for the second set.
His band of highly talented professionals included Tariq Akoni on guitar, David Goodstein on drums, Daniel Pearson on bass,
and Dimitri Brown (correct me if I am wrong here) on guitar....I've posted the set list below. Please excuse any omissions or errors.
1. Grow (B. Fowler, S. Salas)
2. Pop That Thang (Isleys)
3. Cinnamon Girl (N. Young)
4. Red Rooster (W. Dixon) joined by Ronnie Wood playing slide on a silver etched guitar
5. Flying (R, Lane, R. Stewart, R. Wood) joined by Ronnie Wood on a Red Fender and Blondie Chaplin on vocals

what if they released something like "Rarities Vol II" for the tour??







they could put Mannish Boy on it again

Gotdablouse,

please refrain from posting lines like "vanished in the ozone"

as it brings up extremely painful memories of Primitive Cool

TIA

haahaa of yes - that ones makes me contemplate putting my head in the oven

I still dig Party Doll though

but, yes, the rest of that is so dreadful. War Babies, Peace For The Wicked... aggggghhhhhh

those were lean years. Wandering Spirit was great. And thank god we got two incredible Keith albums out of it.

I wish they would have a go at something more rootsy sounding and have Mick finally give up with being trendy sounding or pop oriented. I think they need to that this year for their swan song. Just a vintage EP with some acoustic numbers, a blues and two rockers would work. Back Of My Hand was such a great tease.

just get in the studio and approach the way they did the Stripped sessions. Just back to their roots. Nothing contemporary bent.

heck, even a blues cover album. Why not? They started their career with one of the finest ones - why not go full circle and close out with an even better one.

thats my .02 on the Stones 09 Stimulus Tour

I llke totally disagree. I think ABB is a fine piece of work but reflects the time it was written.  which is now past.  Stones music has always evolved over time but songs are always written from the heart and that is the essence of this band.  and I am certainly glad it doesn't stay the same over the years.  Would be very boring I would think

Did you see this on iorr??....   ronnie and blondie and bernard with waddy wachtel in la on 3/2
