Mick Taylor is a legendary musician and artist. His contributions to the music world 🌎 and the Stones are stellar. Mick Taylor, is a intricate part of the Stones. He played amazing and awesome. He had a style and sound that is like no other. He had class as well. He's a timeless classic. Mick Taylor ty,for all of your endless talent and musical abilities. You are truly phenomenal.
Just watched the Stones play the "Sticky Fingers" album live at The Fonda Theatre 2015 on a streaming service. It sounds OK but totally lacks the Mick Taylor artistry and finesse. Especially the slide guitar work and solos. It's just not the same without MT.
I think he shot himself in the foot leaving the stones, Mike never seemed happy playing with the stones from the very start, i always got the impression from him that he felt he was too good to be stuck in the Rolling Stones. Ego's run high in rock n roll, you gotta be careful cause ego if not kept in check can destroy a career, which is what i think happened here.
Mick Jagger never credit him writing some of the material as he promised he would. Therefore he left the Stones after recording the album, Its only Rock n Roll
In 1972/3 the Stones were the coolest band on the planet. 'Hackney Diamonds' has great production, and sounds like they are having fun. A few songs sound like they could have been released during their Imperial phase. Quite unbelievable.
The Stones were never better than when Mick Taylor was on lead guitar. Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers are two of the finest albums ever produced
I know Mick's former wife Eva, wonderful person. Mick was too good for the stones, he is a polished guitar player, compared to the others. Cheers Mick, kudos from Montana.
Awesome guitar talent. I did get get to see him live in a small venue. Am grateful for the experience. He is right, you never know. I am 71 and still pick up a dozen or so gigs per year, in a bar band.
Theres a great recording on you tube when three erstwhile players discuss him. All is nothing but good. Keith Richards is one of the three and i thought him incrediby nice
Mick Taylor, artifice del album Sticky Fingers, de los mejores de Rolling Stones y otros mas, lastima que no continuara en el grupo, pero el sabra porque....saludos
The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK, to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID him. He was given no credits on SEVERAL albums---in other words, no residuals. In addition, his mates should have helped him with drug addiction and got him the help he needed to stay with the band. They did not... With all due respect to Keith Richards---on Mick Taylor's WORSE DAY, Keef couldn't hold a candle to him. Make no mistake, Keith Richards is a very good guitarist. Mick Taylor is a GREAT guitarist. A guitar genius. Right up there with Hendrix, Clapton, and Santana. No doubt about it. The five albums he produced with the Stones from '69-'74 are all classics. The band was never the same after 1974.
I saw him on the INFIDELS world tour with Santana as support at Wembley Stadium Very cool blues player with great feel and taste Pete Woodroffe Music UK
I think that Keith was totally accepting the fact that he was not on the same level of guitar talent as Mick Taylor. I think where a fatal problem would have arose is when Mick T and Mick J started to collaborate creatively on a very high level. Had that continued, the band would have self-destructed from professional jealousy
What this man did at the tender age of 17 with the Rolling Stones is world shattering. He did more in just a few years than most guitarists do in a lifetime to solidify his legendary status.
A Wonderful guitar player, one of the best ones in the world, The greatest Stones albuns was with Mick Taylor, in 70's, also Get Yer Ya Yas Out 69 one of the great live one ever.. But I think, don't know people or Band lifes, Mick Taylor doesn't fit in the Stones way of life that times.. The Great Charlie Watts and also Bill Wyman more older, wonderful rhythm, had their family to balance, specially Charlie Watts, only a "great" job but the great Engine between Bill and very special, with Keith Richards.. I think the tough tours like STP 72, European 73, to much stress for Him.. Not easy to "socialize" and keeping the spark with the Rolling Stones this years and he was much more younger. After him the chosed one was Ron Wood... His personality fits completely with the Band on stage, and also a good one guitarrist...! Been Stones guitar player since 1975...Almost 50 years..
I got to tell you something strange, a friend of mine has hundreds of stones live bootlegs a huge collector. Mid Taylor’s live playing was never half as good as his studio work, I never found anything on a bootleg of his playing live that came close to his studio work, I’m not sure why that is?
I think most Stones fan would agree, but Ronnie Wood was a great replacement and his personality and stage presence was and still is proof of that. Actually, it’s not fair to compare other guitarists to Taylor outside of Hendricks, Page etc. Taylor is such a humble and intelligent man for a virtuoso guitarist.
