@ Amsterdamned:

Sorry to hear what? They are both fromn the same "British Blues School", studying at the same "Bluesbreakers-school" and both are known for their loose and free solo-playing, not bothering to keep the rhythm going for too long at the time.

Both were fantastic players in the 60s and early 70s. To me, they seem to have a lot in common.

And, while we´re at it, both regretfully went in a sad direction with their music as well as with their drug abuse. After all they were two of the greatest blues players out there.

Today, they have gone back to their roots. One is playing stadiums, the other is doing seedy bars. THAT is sad.

I'am not going to quarrel about this DP,
but Ron a blues player-compared to Taylor?
Gimme a break.

Ron is playing stadiums cause he's with the Stones for 35 years.
God knows where he would have ended if he had the guts, just like Taylor, to leave the Stones, or got kicked out in the early 8-tees (he nearly got), cause he was drugged out. One can only guess.


The reason why Mick is playing small bars is cause he does't have the "entertainment factor" Ron has plus he's no natural songwriter, and god knows what else.

But you're right, both had a lot in common: sex drugs and R&R and it's good to see they are still friends.

Listen to Clapton from the same era as when Taylor played with the Stones. Both fluid lead players similar in style, and both quite limited rhythm players.

I'd love to see Bill Wyman back, but I hate three guitar bands with a passion. That being said, Wyman has made his point pretty clear on numerous occasions that he wants no part of it.

If you hate three-guitar bands you must hate the Rolling Stones of Some Girls vintage...I normally dislike three guitars as well, but this is different. You'd have the original guitarists who played on recordings from 1969 onwards and you have frankly, a guitar section that is much less formidable than it used to be, so the "extra" guitar would not be a bad thing. Hell, let Mick play on Sway and Stop Breaking Down and have four!

I disagree with that. Clapton yes, but Taylor played pretty decent rhythm at times with the Stones. "Hip Shake" on Exile is him, as is the main riff of "Bitch". Watch "Ladies and Gentlemen" or listen to the new and thankfully remixed "Ya-Ya's", there's nothing wrong with his rhythm playing when Keith does the Chuck Berry stuff.

Richards / Taylor is still the all-time guitar tag team in rock and roll history. Partly because it wasn't just a rhythm and lead thing, they could and did swap roles on occasion.

Do you think Clapton has "the entertainment factor"??<DP>


Nice switch.

In a certain way: yes.

He really could sing and was a good guitarplayer in his Cream period.
And he was quite charismatic -in in a sad way- during his drugged years. Not as funny as Ron though.

Btw, your previous Ron post: that's the way I like him.

Well, the Rolling Stones surely could hold a special reunion anniversary kind of gig with all living former members joining them on stage (at least those who still play music). I'm not limiting that to Wyman or Mick Taylor. There used to be Dick Taylor and there were several drummers as well before Charlie Watts.

Yet, still I guess Mick Taylor would have another great solo album in him.
