I have the feeling it's not Keith's fault. I think he actually does love playing with Taylor. I got that impression watching the MR-video and that rehearsal pic: Keith looked quite content on both.
Anyway, very disappointing to see and hear Taylor on MR only after all the fuss.

Didn't Keef say after Kansas '81 that MT plays too loud? Wonder if anybody has invested in a set of ear plugs to keep that highly ranked camper happy?
More, unrestrained MT please.
MJ sounds great with guitar chops to support him. Wish they could rip IORR out in a similar studio style like this from 2012 (hint hint: MT is here):
And I should be managing the Stones! For free!

Thanks, but we're just in it for the money. Screw the legacy.

He only does that when no one else will talk to him. Anyway, this isn't 1963. The Stones don't have a "manager."
Very well put. Please add my name to this petition.
I agree with that. I think this "new" or "reborn" Richards who appeared last year is actually quite close to a guitarist that used to play with Taylor. You know, the idea of concentrating on rhythm, the riffs, taking the musical leadership on his shoulders, who shines when the band shines, etc. Compare that to the wild-going weaver of 1978/82, the ego-boosted "guitar hero" of 1989, who, as the years go by, degenerated to a second frontman poser, musical freerider, who managed to play his two note berry lick "solos" in wrong tune, etc.
So I mean to say, as a player Keith is mentally pretty much prepared to play with a guy like Taylor. Seemingly the most ego problems are gone. Also Wood is seen to have a more dominant, even shining role thanks to Keith's more down-to-earth, laid back approach. The way Ronnie and Keith share the guitar duties is for my eyes much more the way they did back in 1975 than that of free-going ancient art of weaving years (1978-82).
And since Ronnie seemingly never have had any ego problems, there is no problem in that front for the arrival of Taylor either. Wood is happy just to play with the Stones, and I think he could very easily to find a suitable role for himself next to Keith and Taylor. That attitude has always been Wood's forte to survive in this band.
So think the guitar section is ready to have Taylor onboard. But there are other factors...

Nice thoughts, Doxa - and I pretty much agree with all of your sentiments. It's been Keith, after all, who has been the most vocal publicly about welcoming Taylor back into the fold. I don't know or profess to know why he's not given a chance to contribute more - money disputes, health concerns, ego issues, who knows? I do have a feeling though that we'll see more of Mick Taylor in upcoming shows besides just lending his always-formidable leads to 'Midnight Rambler'. Case in point, and the Stones know this - "Sway" and/or "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" need to happen at least ONCE with Taylor handling the solos.
Talk about your favorite band.

YES. YES.

I also get the same impression. The irony is that both Keith and Roonie play better than they have for ages, and in a way if one is used to that guitar department - as I suppose most of us have done - there should not be anything to complain about, but by contrary: to be happy. For that reason Keith was wrong when saying that "Ronnie and I need Taylor".
But the very fact that Mick Taylor actually is now "there" and "available" makes it all different. He is adding a possible dimension to their sound that is something EXTRA to anything we have experienced for ages now. I was convinced of that when I saw the first version of "Midnight Rambler" with Taylor at London. It was almost shocking to my eyes to hear the difference to the sound I'm used to hear from them for ages. Nothing to complain about Richards/Ronnie axis - and all their safe belts - but at least to myself I have heard enough of that during all these Vegas years. To my ears they have milked any possible fresh idea of that concept, or from them as players. And even now when Keith is more focused, it is still the same old, the same old.
But with Taylor there is a novelty factor, something freshness in their sound. Taylor adds something to tHe Rolling Stones sound no one else can do. No, it won't bring them back to 1972, but it won't keep ourselves either in the premises of 1989/99, but helps forming a new Rolling Stones sound AD 2012/3. I truely hope it will not be only for one song/show.

The Mick Taylor situation is a letdown.After Keiths appearance on Fallons show I actually believed that Taylor was going to be playing with them for the Majority (!) of the show in a "3 guitar attack"-that's the impression Keith gave.
I am a gullible fool.
Also,remember all the hoopla with the Exile re-release and Plundered My Soul and how Exile is the best stones album ever and all the critics love it and whenever theres alist in a music magazine of the "best albums of all time" its always in the top 5 somewhere? Well who played on it?
The same person sitting backstage twiddling his thumbs waiting for Midnight Rambler (the next warhorse) thats who.
What a waste.
Keith does not run the Rolling Stones. It could be the three guitar attack is what he wanted, what he thought was going to take place, but he was over ruled. It could be AEG or MickJ or who knows...who wants MickT just on Midnight Rambler

Mick J runs the show and for some reason, he belives (right now) 1 song is enough. I think I caught a hint of his rationale with one of his recent quotes. He said soemthing like "I need que cards with all the special guset guitarists, Clapton, Beck and Mick Taylor...". That may not be the exact quote but it is close. I hope he does not see him as just another "hot shot lead guitar player". Or just a prop from the vault.
I thought we would see the 3 guitar attack Keith spoke about for most, if nto all of the show.
Mick Taylor is a special talent and a significant part of Stones history. The other reality is: one of thse times it is really going to be The Last Time and nobody cna rewind the tape to do it differently.
don't give me that ole one two, one two three four

Open letter to Mick Jagger:
Mick, we know that you obviously run the show. This tour will more than likely be your swan song and we know that you want to go out on top. You are now in a very unique position to utilize the talents of Mick Taylor to make a lasting contribution to your legacy. Certainly, his addition to this tour has been significant on Midnight Rambler, but if you are going to bring him along for the entire tour in 2013, wouldn't it make more sense to invite him to play on a mini-set of three songs such as Love In Vain, Can't You Hear Me Knocking or Time Waits for No One where you really utilize his talents? On prior occasions via interviews, etc, you yourself have claimed that Mick Taylor's presence in the Rolling Stones was significant regarding his contributions to the band. Many, many long time Rolling Stones fans who are planning to attend the current tour (and have paid for premium seats) are doing so under the belief that Mick Taylor was to be on board in a more expanded role. Think of it Mick, what a great way to end a very successful musical career and add to your legacy by having one of your greatest assests on stage in a three guitar attack that would wow the fans every night and garner fantastic reviews!

Are the Stones still great? Damned right. Would they be incredible with MT? Damned right. It would be wonderful to use him more and give the predictable songs a freshness that has actually been missing for decades. It is the music that is most important at this stage of the Stones career. Many of us looked forward to MT playing after Keith Richards say on Jimmy Fallon that he would. I don't pretend to understand planning shows or how these things are done, but I just listened to Brussels Tumbling Dice and was completely knocked out by MT as well as his playing on the entire concert. Let him enhance Ronnie and Keith's already brilliant work!

Very glad to see this 'sticky' and hope someone in the right place takes note. Please, more of Mick Taylor. I wasn't expecting him to be on all the time but three songs surely? Even at the warm up gig he played on two and that wasn't a full set. Please don't alternate Rambler and CYHMK - Rambler is far and away their best live song even without Taylor and with him should be there every night. How about adding CYHMK and Love In Vain too? And drop all the other guests, they add nothing at all. (OK, Keith Urban's playing was fine probably did add to the song, his singing detracted from it so we're quits.)

At the risk of sounding "GREEDY" I think for the money we are laying out the show should be 3 hours long with an additional 3 to 4 songs that should include Mick Taylor. Love in Vain, CYHMK, Rocks Off, Sway, Winter and Bitch. Come on Mick pick 4 and invite the ONLY guest we want to see Mick Taylor... join The Band for some extended play!

Nice thoughts, Doxa - and I pretty much agree with all of your sentiments. It's been Keith, after all, who has been the most vocal publicly about welcoming Taylor back into the fold. I don't know or profess to know why he's not given a chance to contribute more - money disputes, health concerns, ego issues, who knows? I do have a feeling though that we'll see more of Mick Taylor in upcoming shows besides just lending his always-formidable leads to 'Midnight Rambler'. Case in point, and the Stones know this - "Sway" and/or "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" need to happen at least ONCE with Taylor handling the solos.
