Sorry Gaz, what's bizarre is that you are refering to MT as an authentic Rolling Stone? No way. LA FORUM is correct, he named ALL the real STONES, not in order though. In order, and in reference to how the Rolling Stones were added to the RS band that Brian started, is as follows: BRIAN, KEITH, MICK, BILL and then Charlie, then RONNIE.
You can't compare MT to Ronnie, in being a STONE, (MT was a fill in). Ronnie has been a STONE for 30 years, compared to MT's barely 5 years of "filling in," while the STONES actually waited for Ronnie to finish with the FACES.
Keith's own words, "It was so obvious to me that Ronnie should be in the Stones. The only reason he didn't join earlier is that "nobody" [key word here] wanted to be the reason for the Faces breaking up."
Keith also spoke of how Ronnie and he was closer to the STONES sound than MT and he was. (On the ancient art of weaving):
"Woody and I can start playing together until we don't know who played the last lick. It's as close as that. We, both become one instrument. You're in the other person's head and he's in yours, and you two are on this little mental plane where no one else is, trying to predict and and follow, all at the same time." 'Keith and Ronnie played the same way Keith had played with Brian and their connection was similar,...In the spring of 1975, a whole new emotional engine began to run."
Keith set the record straight: "He, [Taylor] never really wrote things, in spite of what he said. It's basically imagination."
MT left the band because of his foolish pride and his "Stupid wife." (NK)
Keith's attitude was, "We've got these sessions to do, we're the Rolling Stones. (@#$%& him.")
Taylor fans will twist the above, but these are facts. Sure, Keith has had kind words for MT, but then, Keith has kind words for a lot of people from time to time.
Remember, Brian started and named the band, 'in homage to Muddy Waters' song "Rollin' Stone." Brian will always be a STONE. You can't change the facts.
