If you believe the article, Taylor said he would argue with them a lot. That does not help his case. And, he did seem to throw a lot of mud at both Keith and Mick also. What do you expect?
The fact is, he put himself in this position. He did very little with his talents for almost 35 years. Now he wants everyone to feel sorry for him (given doing the interview and the content).
Sure, it would be nice if they gave him some money- but that gets harder with what he says about our boys.I am sure Jagger does not like him saying he did not give him credit for writing songs. Pissing off Keith and Jagger will not help your case.
Though, talking about the lows of the band is in vogue with them all recently- mainly for money.
I think he has gotten what is owed. IF he did not, he should do something about it and quit whinning like some people are.
What he says about "our boys"? Are you f-ucking kidding me? Is he serious, does he really think what Mick T. has said justifies, or is a valid excuse, for Mick and Keith's behavior in any way? I suppose people like this who like their music so much think there is justification for all their bad behavior. It doesn't matter what Mick T. says, or how he has lived his life, if he is owed money by the Stones, again IF, then they should pay him, end of story. What he does with it afterwards, if he pisses it away or whatever, is not their problem. But if they legally owe him they should pay, and there is no justification not too. How would this guy feel if he quit a job and his boss refused to give him his last paycheck because of something he said, or how he lived his life? I can't believe what the sheep on this board come up with sometimes.
Besides, regardless of what he has said over the years, he has still shown unbelievable restraint in keeping his mouth shut. I'm sure there is plenty he could say about them, especially in a tell-all book, which he has yet to do, and which I think he should. AFTER he gets what he is owed.
You say he is owed something? I will wait til a REAL judge makes that decision. Until then, it is just a bunch of whinning and nothing else.

Ok, We've done Charlie, and now Mick T. -What's next, Keith playing keyboards...?

Nice to see Taylor quickly issuing a statement so directly obliterating the article. Wonderful to see the lovely soul behind the soulful music. What a high class act he remains.

"Mick's got a very good relationship with the Stones"
OK then, case c-l-o-s-e-d.
Lightnin's story about the Stones ripping him off with unpaid royalities since 1982 is obviously total bullshit.

Yes, ok, alright, but where is Lightnin', this board's member supposedly "in the know" about so many things Taylor to ecplain all this?
I mean, he mentions contract details and other facts that, if true, only people very close to Taylor could know. How does he explain the public statement of Taylor's management? Lightnin's emal adress here is "[email protected]"....

Oh-kay, so according to Taylor's manager Jeff Allen "there's absolutely no animosity between Mick and the Stones". I hope so, but he doesn't say that they still pay Taylor for those six albums. And if they don't pay him, how can there be no animosity?
