Hendrix is in my top 5 of all time.
You think so
I like Jimi's more mellow side the most.
Hendrix could play with his guitar upside down and with his teeth better than Taylor plays

Umm... Thinking Hendrix is in the top 5 doesn't qualify as being a Hendrix fan. The average joe on the street puts Hendrix in the top 5. It's kind of like calling yourself a Lincoln fan because you think he was a good president.

I agree completely. To everything of that
He released some dubious stuff as well, though. And he deserved better production and sound on records than he got, imo.

A myth so strong that it was given as the reason for his death in the Yardbirds documentary?

I have only heard the story from the documentary, of Relf playing the electric guitar in his bathtub.
Ok, I stand corrected
I'm afraid you can forget that now. Taylor won't allow you the pleasure any longer. Well, thanks mate.
The Taylor movement on this board is unfortunately becoming a big joke. Nothing Mick Taylor himself would want to be associated with.
So it was only 10% of the audience that went nuts during CYHMK?
Once again, mick taylor is not a time machine that will take us all back to the 1973 tour. comparing something they performed last week to something they performed in 1973 and saying that mick taylor is the difference is silly.
Just as silly as if I were to post the studio version, compare it to last week's version and say "last weeks version isn't a good because only Keith can get the right bass sound on the song" or "imagine how amazing it would be if Brian Jones was playing sitar and Keith was playing bass and all the guitars at once" on this tour or "if only Nicky Hopkins was playing the keyboards it would sound like this". Different time, different place, different circumstances, and impossible to reproduce.

I am a Hendrix fan for sure,saw him perform twice and own all his releases, but this Berry cover is on par with various bar bands I've heard thru the years, and Taylor's soaring solo's...they soar way above this.
Erm, no, just no.
It's not even his fifth best cover
I know, he was an amazing chap no? Even on "not even his fifth best cover" the guitar playing is way better than anything Taylor ever played.
You think so
I like Jimi's more mellow side the most.

But how does Hendrix compare to Ron Wood and Keith Richards? That's more apropos. Of course, for some Stones fans, Keith can do no wrong. He's not simplistic or bad, he's "minimalist." I can't really put down Ron because it seems he's constrained by playing in the Stones, too. Ron was and is a better guitar player with the Faces with the Stones.

Multi-magician-musician.
Please, there is a vast gap between Hendrix's originality, creativity and sheer technical ability in comparison to Taylor.
Keith is up there with the best of them with regards to creativity and originality though.
I agree completely. To everything of that
He released some dubious stuff as well, though. And he deserved better production and sound on records than he got, imo.

The Taylor phenomenon going on now is interesting to me. The general consensus is that the band is playing to the broadest demographic and has been for years. Sure, hardcore Stones fans go to the shows, but I doubt if they comprise any where near the majority of the audience for the past two decades when you consider stadium shows, etc. So what do these people know about Taylor? Perhaps I am underestimating the power of the internet, but do they have access to the boots? Do they know Brussels? Have they heard Travellin' Man? It is hard for me to imagine being a hardcore Taylor fan simply from the band's releases. Do they know about his solo career? The tour with Dylan? Even in the day Taylor was an under appreciated commodity. He received polite acclaim during the introductions. In all the reviews of the '72 tour he was hardly mentioned (the Village Voice review excepted). I suppose if there was one song people would know it would be the one they have played...CYHMK. I consider myself a Taylor fan, but I have to admit I was a late comer...late '90's when I discovered boots...Brussels, of course; and the recording of my 1st Stones show, 11/8/69, 2nd. In any event, the enthusiastic response to CYHMK is interesting. It sounds as if he is more popular now than when he was in the band.

He died in his basement studio, his son found him.

I am amazed at some of the sheer nonsense of comparing Mick Taylor to Jimi Hendrix. That is a joke. Jimi was the most creative guitar player I've ever heard his licks were light years ahead of anyone else. Mick Taylor is an outstanding soloist and very fluid but if he is so freakin great where the hell has he been for the last THIRTY NINE years?? An absurd comparison and also absurd to say he is a better guitarist than Keith. Can Keith play his solos? NO! But Mick Taylor has not been anywhere near as creative or experimental with the guitar than Keith Richards has. A lot of people don't get Keith and say he is simple if he were so simple why is there no one else quite like him? The guy used to be amazingly creative somewhere along the way his creativity was sapped from him probably by drugs and drink but he can still play at a high level on stage. With everything I've stated I'd still like to see MT on 4-5 songs but if it does not happen I am not going to complain anymore. The Stones are rocking.

Before this Taylor craze goes out of hand: It's all to late. This is a farewell tour. It will, most probably, all end in Hyde Park in July. Taylor will do his 2-3 numbers on each show. It means a lot for the Taylorites and not to mention Mr Taylor himself. 90 % of the audience though doesn't care. It's too late for Taylor to be able to influence the band in any way whatsoever. Maybe if they had given him a spot in 90s he could have made a difference. But they didn't...
