WOW Mick Taylor is God playing the guitar. his guitar playing on plundered my soul is sublime. Some people seem to be deriding it for being too 'simple'. Why is that even a criticism? sometimes simplicity is best for emotive guitar playing. It really allows the listener to focus on his beautiful tone and vibrato. And always he does a fantastic job answering jaggers vocal lines.
But it's exactly the vibrato I'm missing on PMS. A bit more juice regarding the sound + the vibrato would have done wonders with Taylor's part, imo.
The question is if vibrato would have worked on this PMS version. Or perhaps Jagger instructed Taylor not to use vibrato and not to play a solo part, which also would have been possible (and an improvement). Still it is great how Taylor within such a short time was able to throw out this guitar part and invent these nice melodic lines. One could say that Taylor still 'lives' in the Stones songs, something he always did when he was still in the band. Regardless of the songs he played (Jones- or Taylor-era). One can't say that of Wood: he doesn't live in the/all Stones-songs, that's why he never has been a true Rolling Stone (yes, formally, I know). That's not a disqualification of Wood as a musician. But his playing never fit the Stones music that well and that magically as Taylor's did. Well, the ball is on the half of the Woodyists now. Hit it, guys.

complete bullshit. ronnie fits a lot better than mick taylor.
and regarding those magical melodies. every guitarist who is werth a shit can come up with stuff like this. it´s not all that special.
this blind praise for that fat boring guitarist is ridiculous.
the rolling stones this is mick and keith. and than maybe a bit charlie and bill.

There is some truth in what stoneswashed77 says, at least about the lines Taylor plays on PMS. When push comes to shove it's not spectacular - although it's nice to hear him with the Stones again

I agree, he fits in nicely, but he didn't do a blistering performance like some posters here say.
<Would you do any better?>
LOL! Guitar players don't think that way.

Great work, great voice and brilliant guitar work.
The best way to dust off the old tapes.
Who cares it has a 2009 flavour spread over the songs. It's their own work. Let them do it the way they thinks it's the best. Otherwise these gems never see the day of light.
Loads of thanks to Mick Jagger to invite Mick Taylor to the overdub sessions last October in London.
This is the result when the two Micks are back in the studio again.
Hope there will follow more of those sessions.

it's the lyrics that make it, with Mick T's melodic fills.

Wasn't sure where to put this: I ordered the promo CD and it showed up yesterday. It's fantastic to finally have the radio mix on CD! However it is beyond brickwalled. Wow.

What does "beyond brickwalled" mean?

Loud sound, without a hint of dynamics.
