@Crucial Ronnie suits the bands vibe much better (although the Stones did turn Taylor from a hug a tree vege into a strung out smack addict in a few short years) but Taylor was the better guitarist. Great blues man with a real melodic touch. A virtuoso. Played through the Stones Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers / Exile creative peak.
Ronnies great - I don't think the Stones would have survived without him he grounds the Jagger Richards friction - but lets face it the Stones have been largely irrelevant except as a cash cow for the best part of 40 years now.
Faces had a great line up of gifted musicians but its telling I think that they all did better post band. Albums were all a bit patchy but yeah would have been great live - real good time pub rock type of feel.
They came here I think just before they broke up. Don't know why I didn't go but probably the Rod Stewart thing.
my 5 fav Stones songs are
Brown Sugar
Jumping Jack Flash
Gimme Shelter
Doo Doo Doo Doo (heartbreaker)
Honky Tonk WomanSo i like what ever era that is.

I love Gimme Shelter, favourite stones song.

I am late to the party, but it's only been the last couple of weeks where I have finally realise how talented the Rolling Stones are. Up until now I always wondered what people saw in them. I love that they can nail songs as diverse as Gimme Shelter and Faraway Eyes.

I wouldn’t say Taylor was the better player full stop. Maybe showcased better in the RS’s though.
Ronnie plays a very ‘quiet’ lead to Keith’s rhythm like he is happy in the shadows. His playing away from the Stones is much more complete. He is best playing a rhythm/lead combo by himself (which he had to do on occasion in the Stones when Keef was having a sloppy night)
When Keef guested with the Faces, the combo sounded very different.Me picking 72/73 as their best era wasnt so much Taylor vs Wood ,I forgot to get back to that point , just thought they released their best stuff around then , and probably had more to do with song writing as anything ,
And I think also the introduction of Bobby Keys , horns was a big part of that new fuller sound , Sticky fingers is probably my favorite stones album , then Exile on main street ,both had Taylor , but im not saying he is the reason , then Black and Blue ( Ronny Wood on that one ) .

My favourite stones song probably changes from year to year , right now id probably pick this ,
-
@kiwiinmelb It never changes for me. Paint It Black. Followed by Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker).
-
if I had a time machine , these are the stones gigs im going to see

Agree on Sticky Fingers but that was ‘71.
The visit to Muscle Shoals got some good stuff out of them. -

@MiketheSnow For a minute there I thought that The Stranglers version was a cover, but I seem to remember that all of their songs are originals (and Cornwell is a Strangler).

Dire Straits and AC/DC played Athletic Park in 1991. I went to both. The latter was full of bogans and 14 year old MN5 got to see a great pair of cans on a topless peroxide blonde slapper sitting on some bogans shoulders.
I believe both concerts were just the start of the hearing problems I have today....

Don’t you love it when an absolute fucken banger you haven’t heard or even thought about for years comes on the car stereo and makes you drive around and arrive even later to your appointment than you intended ?
That happened to me today.
Deep Purple Mark I should be ashamed of how much cooler the Beastie Boys made their song sound.....
