For a certain set of music fans, The Rolling Stones have always included Ronnie Wood. The guitarist wasn’t one of the band’s five original members, but he is one of the longest-serving. And he might have to consider himself lucky. Wood’s confidence during his tryout for the Stones made drummer Charlie Watts crack a good-natured joke. Having the mild-mannered drummer open up might have helped Wood achieve his long-held professional dream of joining The Rolling Stones.
Ronnie Wood felt confident during his Rolling Stones tryout
When founding member Brian Jones died, The Rolling Stones replaced their rhythm guitarist/multi-instrumentalist with Mick Taylor. He played on some of the band’s most legendary albums, including Let It Bleed and Exile on Main St., but he abruptly left the band. Wood was one of the guitarists who received a Rolling Stones tryout, and he had a good reason to be confident during his audition.
