''However, there is a particular subgroup who seem to think that the entire history of the band is encapsulated in one five-year period. They are known as the "Taylorites". They are zealous and most definitely conservative. Neocons in a musical sense? Yes.''
...this is absolutely facken hilarious, and completely full of shite
Right on with the quote from "Real Genius"!Quote

You know, there are plenty of brands of decaf out on the market today that taste just as good as the real thing...

In fact, the Stones could never have made Sticky Fingers to IOR&R without Mick Taylor, his fingerprints are all over all of them. I mean, Lady Jane and Ruby Tuesday are one thing, but Moonlight Mile, Time Waits For No One, and the extended coda of Cant You Hear Me Knocking, are another thing altogether.
I notice you don't mention the two masterpieces they made before Sticky Fingers.....Beggar's Banquet (100% Taylor free) and Let It Bleed (80% Taylor free) Nothing Taylor ever played on tops the best from those two albums.

It's the mythology that makes the Stones the band they are. Great as the music is (a nd it is amazing) if you take away the stories and legends they are less interesting. Let's face it the Stones are on of the greatest soaps on the planet (and I mean that positively). We don't need to de-mythologise anything.

There's a slew of them here, and you know who you are. IF Mick (or his agents) peruse forums like this, then I'm not surprised that he doesn't bother to release the contents of the so-called "vaults". Why? Simply because so many of you no longer consider the band to be a "going concern". The three-year Bigger Bang tour, the largest-grossing tour of all time, is already forgotten.
The simple fact of the matter is, he (and the band) don't owe you anything. Nothing. Nada. Some of you seem to regard the outtakes and such as some sort of birthright. That is complete bullsh*t, and you know it. YET, you still lap up these bootlegs of unreleased half-finished demos, but somehow say that they should've quit twenty years ago.
Does this profile fit any of the ambulance chasers here? Yeah, I think it does.

And let's face it, the blues guys they admired as kids that got them into music in the first place mostly played right up to the end of their lives. Elvis did, even had the number 1 single that week, Muddy did, Howlin' Wolf did, Bo Diddley did, etc. I honestly don't see that the Stones will be any different in that respect.

"Conservative" or not:
The Rolling Stones of 1963-1974 were the greatest band ever!!!
The Rolling Stones of 1975-1983 were great!!
The Rolling Stones of the last 25 years were/are good!
