Ronnie Wood Could Have Joined Zeppelin
The Rolling Stone says he was invited to join New Yard Birds
The Press Association reports that Wood was offered the spot in the pre-Zeppelin band back in the late 60s, but decided to turn them down as he thought they were "a bunch of farmers."
Ronnie said: "Peter Grant - who used to manage myself and Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart and Mickey Waller and Nicky Hopkins back in the good old days - he was behind a band that was going to be called The New Yard Birds, which I had an offer to join.
"And I said, 'I can't join that bunch of farmers.' Anyway, they turned out to be Led Zeppelin, he managed them as well."
