How would it be if The Stones toured with Taylor as well as Woody and Keith? 3 guitars is not unknown to The Stones on tour. Certainly it could expand the set list and allow for more acoustic work as well. Are too many fans hung up on the 2 guitar ideal which in theory is fine yet we're dealing with aging players here.

Taylor would play too much and make too much noise

Either you like the Stones or you don't.

First a blues-focused album with the three and then the tour ...

Well given the nature of the noise he makes, and in general how well it compliments the noise that Keef n' sir Ron already make, BRING IT ON !

There's bad noise, mediocre noise, and absolutely f***ing orgasmic noise. And three RS guitarists generally bring about the last of those ...........

Meanwhile, I'll just be happy enough with a handful of 2013 shows, if that's what they choose to do. And if they do them WITH Taylor included in the band line-up, all the better. If not, then hey .... at least I can say to myself that I saw the RS with MT five times (I was too young first time round with MT).

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Yes, twice in London and thrice in the States ? Or am I going senile, did he not play at all of those shows ? I think he did ?

Nope he missed Brooklyn, the show I went to. Ironically MR was the best tune of the night there and no I don't feel gypped but I am curious why he wasn't there.

You're right, he did miss Brooklyn. HELP .... I obviously AM going senile !!

yeah there's that. Jagger's guitar playing has never advanced beyond a stage prop. If he could w**ve between guys it would have happened already.

Gotcha.. Fixed...Back to topic... Taylor is not exactly a studio guitarist,in fact he's still appears reckless, after all he's a Stone. I think there's a question about how messy it could get. Taylor used to be a great rhythm player perhaps his skills have deteriorated too? What happened in rehearsals that put him with one song, the same one each night?

Well lets see....he attended the 25th and 29th....missed the 8th that rascal...then I believe he rehearsed on the 12th and 15th...he should be just about ready by now.

The Stones have had 3 guitarists for many many shows. I would love to see Mick Taylor playing entire sets with the Stones for the 2013 tour but only if he practiced more subtle parts that fit well with what Keith and Ronnie already have worked out.

The days of long, noodling guitar solos have been beat to death and really don't entertain me anymore. It would be GREAT to see one of the 3 guitarists playing an acoustic guitar to really add to the soundscape and provide the top end rhythms that are so obviously present on the records but somehow missing from the live performances. peace

That are only the basics and have nothing on the about 25 guitarists of the Eagles on Hotel California, my friend ...

I have said before...it is an intriguing idea with multiple possibilities be it acoustic, electric, slide, lead, rhythm or pedal steel. But ultimately it is probably too much work. Taylor is a loose cannon and rehearsals are necessary, but when he is on stage there is no other guitarist there that plays with the vision, tone and assuredness that he does. For better or worse he is the dominate guitarist on stage. Where he fits in needs to be determined. I was stunned when someone asked what Taylor added to MR. Good grief! Confidence, phrasing! He has something to say, musically. His tone alone raises the sound of the band which I think sounds thin. I am sensitive that many people here like Ronnie. It is a tired argument. But when Taylor was on stage what Ronnie played was rendered irrelevant. That is why rehearsals are necessary for each to find a part. What Keith and Ronnie have already worked out can be dumped as far as I'm concerned.

If it were to happen,I think it would be fantastic.I feel there'd be more positives with having MT with them then there would be negatives.But in saying that,if it doesn't happen,I think Ron and MT on a solo project/ tour would be something not to miss.

Personally I think three electric guitars is almost always a bad idea. I hate the murkiness it's brought to the E Street Band for instance. Two guitars can sound bigger than the sum of their parts, but for whatever reason three don't do that. Skynyrd and the Eagles made it work, but only by working out parts with military precision and having absolutely no improvisation at all. That wouldn't suit the Stones.
