"We were two guitars, a keyboard, a bass, a drum and a sax and we called ourselves the New Barbarians. Just like that we headed off on the craziest tour ever, managed by Jason Cooper, whom I met through Tony Curtis and who was the world's maddest, ex-football playing, huge manager. Making things even more interesting, Jason was one of many people Keith can't stand. In fact, Keith hated Jason so much that at one point he chased Jason through a field with a gun offering him forty-five reasons to 'leave Ronnie alone'."
Excerpts from Ron Wood's autobiography "Ronnie". Buy the fucking book, it's brilliant.
The New Barbarians were short lived but in reality, they were just two (okay six) good lookin blokes playing some classic rock and blues for $12.50
You might also know them from this little band they had on the side called The Rolling Stones? yeah. you mighta heard of em.
So heres to Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood!
