Ronnie Wood recently acknowledged that the Rolling Stones' long-term success might be attributed to their refusal to "over familiarize."
The 77-year-old, who joined the famed group in 1975, 13 years after its formation, maintains communication with members Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
However, he has stated that none of them "over-familiarize" themselves with one another, which he feels is the cause for their longevity.
"We don't call each other every five minutes. When we're not traveling, we stay in touch to maintain the feelers in each other's camps, but we don't overdo it - we rely on trust and truth," he told the Daily Telegraph.
Wood went on: "We have faith in our music, and we always have hope that people will keep turning up, and sure enough they do."
The Rolling Stones' most recent album, 2023, Hackney Diamonds, had the highest sales, but the guitarist stated he still has "no idea" what chart positions imply these days.
"In the old days, we had charts, and you could plot things and be a part of them. You would glance at the Melody Maker and remark, "Look!" 'We are number 50!' or anything. "And then you'd climb the charts," he recalled.
"It offered young bands a lot of motivation and something to look forward to. Ronnie Wood said, "I have no idea where we are on the charts now."
