Loved it when Joan Jett ending her speech with a thank you to every musican in the book, but finished it with mention to; MICK TAYLOR!!!

Remember seeing her walking the street in front of the Roxy in 1982 when the
Bluesbreakers toured with M. Taylor and John McVie.. even back then she knew talent when she saw it!!!

MLC

He played the guitar solo on 'I Hate Myself For Loving YYou' according to Wikipedia.

Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor played the guitar solo on "I Hate Myself for Loving You".[6]

joan jett is great. and MT's solo on that song was great too.

Yup, I saw the Mick Taylor shout out. Really cool of her. Especially because in that speech she was listing bands (Steven and Joe and Aerosmith, Lemmy and Motorhead) and I noticed her ONLY saying Taylor and not thanking the rest of the Stones. I assumed it had to do with her history with him with I Hate Myself For Loving You.

She was excellent.

I was probably the most insulted of anyone when I heard Joan Jett was going to be inducted, never liked her music..... always seemed a real least common denominator, poser approach to the music. I mean "I Love Rock and Roll" just about makes me puke. It kind of represents the opposite of what players like Mick Taylor represent to me. That collaboration seems the most unlikely one I could think of really.

But I'm going to open my mind a bit and take your guys word that she was good last night...only because she thanked Mick Taylor of course.

peace

she is great. "i love rock n roll" doesn't really represent her. she was one of the first female punk rockers, founded 'the runaways" back in the 70s (classic song: "bad reputation" ) and had a long and successful career after her #1 smash hit. saw her play in the 90s in a small club and she was fantastic.

She's also covered "Star, Star" if it matters to you.

I'd love too see Joan do some shows with MT. They'd kill Silver Train for one...

I wonder if the Stones would have accepted the honours in the 80s if they knew that everyone and their dog would be inducted few decades later.
