Ronnie Wood, founding member of Faces and a member of The Rolling Stones since 1975, turned 79 on Monday.
Faces' influence continued to grow long after the group disbanded, culminating in its induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. And, by the mid-1970s, Wood's career took another historic turn.
"When I first saw [The Rolling Stones' I said: 'I'm going to be in that band,'" Wood told Louder. "I never doubted it, and that was it. I reckon if you have a big enough belief in something, it'll happen."
"It's always good with Keith [Richards], great fun," Wood told The Guardian. "We have that standing argument – which one is the better guitar player? We have to call Eric Clapton and he says, 'Neither of you are. I’m better than both of you.'"
Beyond his work with Faces and the Stones, Wood has also maintained a successful solo career and earned recognition as an accomplished visual artist, exhibiting his paintings and drawings around the world. Remarkably, he remains active with The Rolling Stones nearly 50 years after joining the band.
Now at 79, his legacy continues to span generations of rock history, from the swaggering days of Faces to nearly five decades with The Rolling Stones.
