The Rolling Stones Without Mick Jagger

Lotta, lotta talk about Mick Taylor (I think he's great and the ponderous thread about him is a mess).

No one else in the world could pull off Midnight Rambler like Jagger does...with or without Mick T.

Seems like the Jagger haters here would prefer The Stones without him.

Well.....Keith's solo stuff IS much easier to listen to....

No, they need Mick, as a member, not as a dictator.

Jagger haters? I don't think I've met anyone on this board who is a Jagger hater.

There are no stones without Mick J or Keith R. Surely any Stones fan realizes that.

The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger is not the Rolling Stones. Just like there isn't a Rolling Stones without Keith Richards. Everyone else, for lack of a better term, is unfortunately replaceable. You can't do it without the two big guys though. And honestly, Jagger has been the one thats kept the thing afloat and as mainstream as they've been these last few decades. Mick Jagger is probably the most important person in terms of why the Stones are still here and selling out arenas 50 years later. As much of a prick he is in regards to other matters like tickets and such, the guy is a god and one of the most important people in rock and roll.

You can't have or want The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger.

The Rolling Stones are Mick's lips.

No lips no Stones.

Honestly, I think the same of Charlie at this point. For that matter, even Ronnie. Even if you switched back to MT, how would you handle the 35 year "Ronnie Period?"

Nobody here hates Jagger. I'm pretty sure everyone acknowledges that there wouldn't be a Rolling Stones without him. And if it was it would never be as good.

Best frontman ever, most unique voice ever. Daring, arrogant, dangerous, decadent, rough, tough, androgyne, masculine, sensitive and provocative. Nobody matches that. Enough said.

The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger? Why, that's Keith's mid-show mini-set, isn't it?

And also this, I believe....





But on record, there have been more than a few tracks without Bill Wyman back in the Bill Wyman era, a couple without Charlie, and even some without Keith, but it's very difficult to have a Rolling Stones without the lead voice of the band, just as The Doors found out that there was no such thing without Jim Morrison.

In this era, some bands replace lead singers, but in certain bands lead singers cannot be replaced.

But what has Mick Taylor got to do with this (purely hypothetical) scenario?

Well said. I believe some, my self included, feels as though much of the danger and toughness has become pretentiousness and self awareness (perhaps at the expense of the Stones.)
On the positive, I think his role in 'holding it together' in the late 70's is often underestimated.

yeah, but that's got nothing to do with hate or wanting him out of the band. what a strange topic. maybe it's a reaction to the MT guys talking about "Mick Taylor and the Rolilng Stones", I don't know.

Reinforcing the point that none of the four remaining 'Stones'are expendable .... Ronnie is the newest if you will, and many have a distaste for him, AND MT would be the most logical replacement. All that said....I can't see it.....37 out of 50 is an insurmountable majority at this point, even for MT.

I don't or would never want him out.....but a lot of Michael Jordan's teammates would tell you he was an a$$hole, and didn't enjoy his company off the court.

Yes....strange topic, indeed.

No Mick - No Rolling Stones.

No Keith - No Rolling Stones.

No Charlie - No Rolling Stones.

Simples.

Are you aware that in NO CASE of Keith @#$%& up (library, palm tree, 2207 drunk shows) NEVER EVER Jagger has said something bad about anyone in the band??

He is totally generous and I love him for "being Mick"!

By the way there was a "Biff @#$%& Trio" thread here in 2009 [www.iorr.org] that I just found and since it's closed, I'd like to comment on the fact that "Biff @#$%& Trio" is not offensive at all, well at least not in the sense that it's an apology of @#$%&, since the verb "biff" means "punch", so "Punch @#$%& Trio"!

Sounds to me like there's (a lot) more than a trio playing on this !

Re: The Rolling Stones Without Mick Jagger

Chuck, Keith, Charlie (maybe Ronnie on drums) and the back up singers.

They need sidemen, too grinning smiley

Didn't want to copy/quote the video but can someone tell me if the video above that say's it's Gimme Shelter with Keith on vocals is actually Keith on vocals? It may be my ears, the early morning or this crappy headset that I've got here at the office but it just doesn't sound like him.

Peace,
Mr DJA

It sounds like a mix of both Keith and Mick, but with Keith being slightly more prominant.

Keith is singing more like he does during the shouting bit on You Got The Silver.

The low "Murder" sounds very Keith to me.
