On some songs like She's So Cold, DF and BTMMR, absolutely.
I wish he would take his Strat or Music Man back for TD, though.
I'm a big Clarence White (and Gene Parsons) fan, so I'd say there is still room for improvement
November 1973 sessions for IORR included Black Limousine with Woody. December is when they did It's Only Rock'N'Roll with Bowie etc.
So 41 years plus a few months... for his involvement with the Stones. His being an official fully fledged member in The Rolling Stone started in 1990. So... 25 years as an official "member" of The Rolling Stones.
1991, wasn't it?
Yeah, you're still thinking that Dick Taylor is in the band, right? >

(He rarely hit wrong notes 1975-1976 actually...)
Too bad the musicians employed aren't appropriate for the group.
Japan tour, 1990 is what all the literature says.
count on your fingers...year by year
I always wondered about that too until someone here pointed out he traded writing credits on that tune for a tune Mick and Keith gave him for his solo record. Not that it was a particularly good trade in retrospect but it does show that he realized he had some valuable product worth trading song for song. And since he only co-wrote it and was given the whole credit for the other tune, it might even have looked like a decent deal to him.
I also think it helped secure his choice to join the band by making Mick and Keith think he had a few more tunes like It's Only Rock and Roll in him.
peace
IORR was traded for I Can Feel The Fire wasn't it? I'd love to hear Mick have a go at that song.
And it so happens they havent once been close to their Golden era in these 40 years.
Talk about your favorite band.

Actually, more like 20 or 21. He wasn't made a full member until after Bill Wyman's departure.
But insofar as playing with the band, you'd have to include It's Only Rock and Roll, which he is said to have also co-written, so, 41 years by now.

one aspect of his playing I really like is how he plays the B bender telecaster..
he really has developed it over the years in the Stones..

It's taken me a long time to come around to Ronnie, but I understand now that it would have been difficult for them to continue without him. Keith went from a lead player in the beginning to being diminished by Mick Taylor. Ronnie kept the ball rolling with his stinging slide work. He doesn't have the emotional depth of Brian or the lift that Taylor had, but he's the go to guy in the Stones, whether it's slide, pedal steel, and a couple good shots at bass many moons ago.

Whatever the hell the anniversary date is, congratulations Ronnie!
Thanks for sticking with the band through thick and thin, good times and bad times.
Our heart's for you, so in tribute, a little something from Elvis:

Wasn't Ronnie 'officially' unveiled as their newest member in 1976, though? I always believed he was only a hired-hand on the 1975 North American tour.

I'm going to a birthday celebration in May for a 90 year old who is still called "Baby" because he was the youngest of four brothers. Makes me think of Ronnie... no matter how long he's been with the Stones or how old he is, he'll still always be the "baby" Stone. Not a bad adjective to have as you get into your 60's and beyond. Happy anniversary to Ronnie Wood!

that was just for his cut of the money-one look at the cover of black and blue said it all,ronnie wasnt going anywhere.
he has been a huge asset to the stones and to this day he still doesnt get the credit he deserves.from letting slide the co-writing credit/money for its only rock and roll[which he did indeed write with mick]to putting up with untold grief from the twins he hung tough and never walked away-stones are born not made and ronnie is and alway was a stone,even before he was in the band!

40 years in the biggest r&r band and VH1 still thinks he's the bassist.
See number 12 on the list.
