Bumbling and clueless--Nah thats not degrading at all, is it?

Appearance. But, I'll leave it at that. Everyone else seems to be able to make conversation of it rather than take it to this level.

Google Blondie Chaplin, StonesFanatic!

Been chasin' a clip of Taylor doin' Ventilator Blues or Stop Breakin' Down,
coz I dont think its fair to represent him with the clip above.

Till I find sumfin better, I settle with this clip from Ochten, Netherlands
in November 2006 & Blind Willie McTell

OK, then answer this? WHO will play the guitars on the next tour. Keith CAN'T.

I would rather see Bill Wyman on stage with the Stones.

It's not worth it. Your the only one who seems to be coming down on me for it so my guess is nothing that I will say will make a difference to you. But if what I said offended you personally, it wasn't meant to do that.

I'll take the liberty of putting a clip of the same song (both done in 2009) with Mick Taylor on a good night. Sounds pretty good, just found it.





Wayne

Well, thank you for presenting the other side of the coin!

I think what I'm taking away from this is that they are all older, none of them play like they used to, the band is the band, and we either enjoy them or not. I still don't think Mick Taylor is the god he once was, he is inconsistent and no longer creative. But I guess that can be said for others too. Such is life.

*nods*

Yeah, whats the deal with that Richards character anyway!

Not sure why some perceive Taylor as a threat, but here he is yet again:

I told you they need Mick Jagger.

Of course they do! And it would be a great surprise if they kicked out a great album of jams with ROnnie and Mick! WOuld be a cool new twist, why not!

Mick Taylor would certainly add a new twist to the current lineup. He is available and it appears he can still play. I have never understood the "get over it" sentiment his name produces. The Stones have used Blondie as a backstage guitarist for a couple of tours now - why not have Taylor, who at least has a history with the band - as a guest guitarist.

Not only does Mick T have history with the band, he contributed heavily to their peak period albums and tours...(except for Beggars Banquet, which was the year before he joined)...

crap topic.

too late, too obsessed with the amp tuning instead of playing. Not enough skinny Ronnie style.
Lost the feeling.

gone with the wind.

Not enough skinny Ronnie Style ?
We are talking about guitar playing here if you didn't notice?

No doubt about Ronnie's qualifications: 28" waist, perfect rock hair, drinking buddy for Keef, submissive to Keef, fun to be around, versatile guitarist, amiable fellow!

This thread makes me think of 10 y.o. boys making iamginary football dream teams : 'whoa what if you could make a team with X from Brazil Y from Spain and Z from the UK. The best football team!!!! Yes, mum I'm coming for dinner. Awrite guys see you tomorrow in chemestry classes. 8 a.m.!"

If you want to see MT play with the Stones buy a time-machine cos it ain't gonna happen in thsi century ;-)

Submissive to Keith in a musical way indeed. Killing.

when someone puts it like this it seems so obvious and a no-brainer, eh? then you pause and you factor in the politics and the egos involved and it becomes evident that it'll never happen.

What tour? There is no next tour. Today's lesson: NOTHING.

True this...

I have a hunch it wouldn't work out. What Taylor and Keith had 35+ years ago was very special. They were really attuned to each other. They complemented one another perfectly.

Many years have passed and I don't think they could recover that. Lightening doesn't strike twice in the same place.

Dear iorrians: Nice to hear someone who still plays in tune...why some of you gets upset when we bash Ronnie...I wonder!!!? If you just look cool, then everything is ok? He was great 75-82...then something happened. Do you get it? Do you get it you limeys, as Johnny Thunders says on his brilliant live album.........But - I don´t think Keith is in any condition to tour, ever again. That´s sad, really. But I feel that Mick Jagger will never allow that to happen. I guess Keith wants to, but please...2005-2007 wasn´t exactly outstanding when it comes to "great Keith Richards guitarplaying", was it? And now?...help!!!!!! Some of you say "get over it, this is now" (Mick Taylor)...but I think you´ll have to get used to the idea that Keith will never go on the road again. So: get over it!
I´m a fan of the greatest r&r band in the world. With open eyes!

How about live?? I wouldn't even consider going to see the Stones live anymore, UNLESS, they move Woody to bass and bring MT in on guitar. THAT would be worth seeing. (and hearing).
