The Stones were at their peak when Mick T was in the band. Maybe you should go back and listen to the ablums and bootlegs when he was in the band. Their sound was incredible. They would not be asking him to return if he was not an asset to the band. I am hoping to hear him play on many songs.
Well, that's your opinion, in my opinion their peak is the Ronnie era. It's a matter of taste and i prefer the sound of Ronnies guitar. I don't like MT:s guitarsound that much.
Love both versions, but prefer the RW era too.
By the way this band has had no peaks...they've had multiple plateaus...and a couple of low areas...

While you are entitled to your opinion, the Ron Wood Era is not the peak of the RS. Ever heard of Sticky Fingers and Exile? The 1972 tour? If MT was a medicore guitarist they would not be asking him on their current tour. He adds another dimension that has been missing since his departure.

Jagger, Richards, Watts and Wyman have all said that was the best era of the Stones, so I would believe these individuals since they played with them all.
You are entitled to your opinion but I believe you are in the minority.
Charlie and Mick Jagger say Taylor is an Amazing player. Never heard one Stone say that about Ronnie. I would take Brian Jones back over Ronnie. I like Ronnie and saw him in Atlantic City for the one off show and he played better than I ever saw him, but not even close to Mick Taylor's potential. Whether you like Mick Taylor or not he is a true virtuoso. The other two guitar players are not.
I think deep down inside Keith knows Taylor takes the spotlight just as he did in 72-73. We know Keith is a fantastic songwriter but when it comes to playing guitar very few are in the class with Taylor.
The Stones have energy back in the band with Mick Taylor. He is the reason I am going to see them. I find them very monotonous without Mick Taylor.

Never said MT is a mediocre guitarist, but i don't like his sound. In my opinion there are tours way better than 72 and they don't need MT at all, his part of the history sure, but he is not a member of the band these days. Ronnie is a stone, MT is not.

Mick Taylor, at this point in his career, is just a name connected to history. Here's a scenario: if Mick Taylor were a nobody and he came out for this coming tour and guested with The Stones, would you guys think that he's an amazing guitar player and a perfect fit for The Stones? Based on what I've seen so far, I would think that he's another guitarist and nothing special.

That's when the Stones were at their songwriting best. It just so happens that Taylor was in the band at the time. Yes I think Taylor is a great guitarist, but I don't believe he is the reason for the Stones success for that era. As for me personally, I would love to see the 3 guitarists on stage for a good portion of the show.
Wow he's that important.Quote

I agree BluzDude with what you said. Mick Taylor helped the Stones make some great albums. Beggars Banquet is a great album without Taylor. I think he made them into an electrifying LIVE band. From 69-75 they were incredible playing live on stage. When I play a bootleg from that era people go who is that playing the guitar, Keith? No, I say Mick Taylor. I like the Stones from 62-75. I like a few songs after that Hand of fate, Waiting on a friend and a few others. I am hoping for at least 5 songs. I am in for Chicago, Toronto and both Philly shows.

Even Ron Wood has agreed that this was their best period. In an interview a few years back he was mentioning how honored he was to "be playing on songs from, you know, their best period."
