Has anybody heard? I wonder if they will invite him to join-in on any additional
50th Anniver. shows this year and if he will get to play on more than one song?

He sure added something good on Midnight Rambler!!!

Loved Him & Ronnie with that Freight-Train Double-Lead at the end!!!!!

Yes...Stones and Taylor are currently discussing a contract.

Seeing that nothing's been announced of any tour at all, nothing has been heard. The Taylor for the 50th shows was probably it. That's how Keith pretty much stated it.

I hear he will have a bigger role.

It sure would be nice.

...that will depend on his weight fluctuation

Of course it would be great if he was but it doesn't seem like it for some reason. Seems like it will be business as usual.

Mick Taylor MUST BE INVITED and also Bill Wyman!!!

how could anyone here possibly know the answer to that other than wishful thinking?

As good as the Vegas era Stones are, and meaning that sincerely and notwithstanding unreasonable comparisons to their younger selves, they've remained largely unchanged for a very long time now. We've seen that already.

For better or worse (probably both in my opinion, but mostly better)...adding Taylor would be the logical choice to change things up a bit. I'd like to see it happen.

Wyman wasnt' such a 'Killer' to me....

2 1 2 0

He should be invited, imo.

Wyman is a different bag, much more complex, because of flying...

That would really be a great bonus if he will play permanently on a (hopefully) forthcoming tour. In several songs, of course. 'Cause I can't see them take him on tour for playing on one single song.

I would invite Taylor to play.

Taylor is not as good guitarplayer as he was in the 70's and he appears to be in bad health and the Stones ain't a three guitar band. In o2 London, Taylor seemed to be lost or drugged on stage. Bad idea'.

i heard from a friend of a cousin of Ronnies new wife, that Mick taylor will replace the other Mick as a singer.

He was like a kid in the candy store on the first gig in London - playing way too much, but on the other gigs I thought he played great.

Last time I checked, Charlie hadn't written any of the well known songs that Stones fans hook onto.

Charlie is very good especially for the Stones backbeat thang and is a decent Jazz drummer but Charlie is not one of the Stones driving forces which happen to be Keith and Mick.

Same goes for all the others, Taylor. Wyman, Jones.

It's Keith and Mick that grab or come up with the ideas and finish them into songs in most cases.

Charlie just says he drums for Keith and Mick.

Taylor has said the Stones are Mick and Keith.

Seriously, can anyone imagine the Stones continuing at anytime without Mick or Keith?

It would be like the Beatles without John or Paul.

No Charlie, no Stones, Especially live.

Charlie is the beat and heart of the Stones. Keef plays on him, and not on Jagger.
If Charlie sys, and he has said before, he wont tour... the Stones are history.

Fortunately it seems Charlie wants to do some more shows this year.

If Carlie packs it in, you can kiss the Stones goodbye. he has a solid relationship with Jagger. As jagger has no longer this with Keef, Mick needs a friend in the band. If this friend says sod this, Jagger will have to return to Supershit with Dave stewart

jeroen

No songs = no Stones.

Who does the songs?

Bill can say the JJF riff came from his jam but it takes more than that to turn it into a JJF song and that is Keith and Mick doing that.

From what I've heard Bill say, Charlie tends to follow Keith and I think Bill would know.

Charlie is very good at what he does which is the drumming.
