UNBELIEVABLE !!!

Greetings Raluca

Who is that - Nick Dagger from The Counterfeit Stones?

I think even Mike Myers does a better Mick Jagger impersonation. But the guy is "pointing
the finga's" in a convincing way.

Taylor is in fine form on the other hand.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Appalling.

Why would Taylor allow that?

It rocks,and Mick T.is on blistering form.

Getting ready for those London shows probably!

God that is terrible! And somewhat pathetic that Mick Taylor is playing with a Mick Jagger imitator, and not a very good one at that. Yes physically, he has it, but man are his vocals terrible. What must Mick T be thinking?

Funny.. and Taylor also seems to be smiling, which is rather unusual. And yeah, seems to be in a rather fine form as well.

Totally stupid, it is sad what has become of Mick Taylor.

His name is Hans and he's the leader of the Stones Tribute Band "Hailstones" (Vienna)

Mick Taylor plays great , hope he,ll play some shows with the stones

Folk might think its sad whats happened to Mick T,but it would be even sadder if he was pretending that he could still play a guitar.....

Ben Waters Band offers actually a nice templete for Taylor to get his act together (if it ever really was lost). I enjoyed a great deal when seeing him a week and a half ago. That kind of 'loose' band leaves a lot of room for a guitarist to improvise, and I think it is actually a kind of hard test to really come up with something relevant and fitting. The most of 'wanna be' blues guitarists or whatever guitar heroes would use the opportunity (now matter how technically awesome they might be or think they are, or see this stuff as child's game) wrong and end up sounding lame and irrelevant, but and old hag like Taylor who has an original touch and an acquired taste is doing fine.

Jeezus, how off-key can you actually get

Not to take away from Ron Wood's exceptional image, the greatest musical loss to the Stones was losing Mick Taylor. You guitarists out there, listen to the modes and scale substitutions he is continuing to use and expand on even at this stage of his career. Sure, his playing lacks those singing finesse runs up the fretboard seen and heard in the Golden Age, but his musicality and much dexterity is well intact. I love this guy.

Problem is, you can't sublimate Taylor behind another lead player. He needs to be alpha lead in order to shine. I don't see how that could be done diplomatically with RW in the mix. Oh right, put RW on bass, like how he began his career. Win-win for everybody, especially us.

You hit the nail on the head right there, imo. Had he continued in that role, the Stones would have had major problems re-inventing themselves in the late 70s.

But of course, he will always be the most accomplished guitarist in the Stones.

PS: Ronnie begun as a guitarist, then changed to bass after a period of playing guitar in the Jeff Beck Group.

Sad, Mick Taylor sharing the stage with an impersonator, while he should be on stage with the man himself.

this is the funniest thing i have seen in years !!

pitiful.....how low can he go?

I think this makes a twisted form of perfect sense.

What continues to amaze me is how many IORRians think bands like these are "cooking" or "hot" or "on fire". I fail to see how anyone can think this swings AND be a Rolling Stones fan.

That said, good to see Taylor so upbeat.

How low can he go??? About as low as having a public auction of your wife and your own belongings!!!

I think you are referring to Rod Stewart auctioning his wife.

This news also makes me wonder...

As hilarious as it is, I'm sure it wasn't Mick Taylor's, or even Waters' idea. The guy must've just "invited himself" for a little guest spot before the gig, and they were probably too polite to say no outright to him. So once he materialised, they just laughed along and shrugged their shoulders it seems. Ben Waters' voice doesn't sound too inspiring on his numbers, but this impersonator dude is super awful. "Awright, c'mon Mick Taylor, whoo, baby!"

Mick's solos remind me of Keith's when he kicked some ass in his hay days

Settle down folks. They are in a club, right? Anything can happen and that's the fun of it. It's not like they are touring with the guy. No one seems to take this seriously and they are having fun with it. Silly as he is pseudo-Jagger brings some energy as the real thing would and if I am not mistaken Taylor is amused and a bit inspired by the situation. Pseudo-Jagger is a local right? When in Vienna.... or what happens in Vienna should stay in Vienna.

Maybe Tayor is trying to start his own Stones cover band...Pathetic
