I think Taylor has immense respect for Keith as a musician and I doubt he would say anything like this. They are different kinds of players, and I think Taylor is a good enough musician to understand what Keith brought to the table despite his lack of "virtuosity". As for Ron, it's similar. If he has any feelings of inferiority vs. Taylor regarding his musicianship I am sure it is more than made up for by the fact that he was the one who got the gig and kept it after Taylor's departure.

Well having seen Taylor and Wood share various London stages in recent years, Ambassadors Theatre and 100 Club, it's difficult to visualise that there's much in the way of animosity between them. They appear to respect each other, that's it. Difficult to know of course whether they would necessarily wish to socialise with one another etc, but within the professional domain at any rate, I think each respects the other, and what more can be asked for than that ?

boynamedsue - The Rolling Stones are far from perfect and the whining on this board is unbeleivable. You'd think some of these people hate the band that they profess to love. Its comical.

Has mick ever publically admitted he's lost vocal range?
Has ron ever admitted that mick taylor is more technically proficient?
Has mick taylor ever made fun of keith's skill level?
Has bill wyman ever been mistaken for a mannequin?
Well, maybe the last one is easily verifiable. But i wonder if anybody has actually heard the stones themselves comment on my first three questions? Preferably on video so it's 100% verifiable. I've always wondered if mick taylor got caught on tape somewhere at a bar in the 80s dissing ronnie or keith, and if mick would ever admit vocal decline.

No, but Ron has admitted that he himself is more technically proficient than Keith. In an interview that dates from the Bridges To Babylon tour era, they were both asked who the better guitarist was:
Interviewer: So who's the better guitarist, you or Keith?
Ron [holding a pint glass of Guinness]: Oh, he knows I am. [Laughs from the background]
Interviewer: So who's the better guitarist, you or Ronnie? He says it's him.
[Background laughter as Keith answers]: Oh, yeah, yeah, of course he would say that, wouldn't he?... The truth is we're both pretty lousy, but together we're better than ten others.

Yes, i did see that clip. It was funny how initially keith seemed annoyed that ron would say that about him. I'm sure they trade insults all the time though just for the hell of it.
