There are no "Anti-Taylorites"...
...then how do we call the people that object to the Taylorites - f.i. because they don't want to reduce the most versatile & constantly evolving band in rock'n'roll history to a mere 4 albums & just 1 guitarsound?!
Just a semantic question...
I'd call them Rolling Stones fans, not just Mick Taylor fans.

So we should fire Keith and get some studio monkey to replace him? I am sure that would fill up stadiums and make people happy. There are hundreds of guitar players who can cover Keith Richards but there are nobody with his heart and soul. He can not be replaced. After fifty years I think it is about time people face the facts. One love - and gold rings on you all.
i will face facts after 54 years - not a moment sooner.
StonesTod, why dont you disappear for a couple of months, like you used to.
You make this world, and maybe even Texas a happier plac, if you do. Your moron posts anger a lot of people, including BV.

Oh yeah, so it is "Rolling Stones fans" vs. "Mick Taylor fans" in your book. A very "neutral" way to see the debate here. I guess I'm not a Rolling Stones fan then.

Some posters here like Mick Taylor more than the band, yes. Nothing wrong with that...
I didn't say versus.

For what ever reason, they just can't seem to play Sway well or engage with the emotion of the song. They are being too half arsed, playing a mood piece without the mood or intensity.

Personally, I love your moron posts. Wouldn't be the same here without them. Now if I could just get MaxKC to badger you for a while instead of me this place would be heaven.

However, some are having trouble accepting how I feel about his good and not so good playing now, as well as in the past

Every final bow is the same. Mick is totally wasted. I do know the feeling when you have just finished a half marathon run in approx two hours on time and you made it great, and you timed your energy right. Spending the last bit of energy on Satisfaction.
Mick does his final bows on Ronnie side. He is still a zombie from his energy boost on Satisfaction. He takes the bow out of routine but his thoughts are on drinking lots of water and having a warm coat on his way to a warm shower. He is still focused on the crowd and not on the band members. People are different. While some do "band member" hugging Mick is throwing kisses and making bows to the crowd. He has been doing that for ages, every show.

Depending on certain things it's possible to get a similar sound onstage to a studio recording, easier to do these days, but what works on a studio recording might not work on a stage, vice versa etc etc.
Keith is Keith, but even he can't do or be what he was once.

there's nothing complex about sway, for crissakes. 3 chords. i've seen lame stones cover bands play it better than the stones do.
So why do you waste your time with the Stones then?
dont waste your time and energy on StonesTod Bjornulf. He is a lunatic and not a stones Fan. Forget about him.
Stonestod is a waste of time.

Sure I have "friends" i.e. people I do know who claim they can play better than Keith. I hear what they saying and I do always smile when they say so. Some times the ego is bigger than real life.

Taylor is NOT the only "musical" thing people are paying attention to during this tour. Have you forgotten about all the fans who travel to see their favourite band? They are having the time of their lives - the reviews and the reports are great!
A weak argument. I'm going to travel to see my favourite band and surely I am going to have the time of my life. Anybody going to see the Stones, and willing to pay big bucks of that, will know beforehand what one will get. And they won't disappoint you.
But I was referring to the more detailed account here in regards to performances. Only Taylor'¨s contributions seem to cause some more serious reflection or interest. Probably due that being a novelty thing. We know very well what to expect from the others. Damn, we have been trained for decades for that.

What about all these statements:
- Ronnie is playing really well on this tour - great solo on YCAGWYW
- Keith fvcked up the intro on IORR, but he was still sharp last night. Fantastic rendition of YGTS
- Mick is incredible, and sang really well last night. How does he manage the falsetto?
- Darryl doesn't swing as much as Bill, and I didn't like his playing on ER
- Charlie is steady as a rock
- The choir was really great
- Fogerty was awesome, Taylor Swift stunk
- It was sooo great hearing Lady Jane live! Chuck's harpsichord gelled nicely in with the beautiful acoustic guitars
There are hundreds more of those musical comments, Doxa - every day. The problem is that these comments are of no interest to YOU, seemingly.
By saying that discussing Taylor is the only interesting musical discussion topic on this tour, you're simultaneously pissing on all the other fans who like the whole band, and the shows.
I don't think you really mean that this is how it's supposed to be?

Some populist ass-licking here, huh? I don't think we should find inspiration from other people's comments but on music. It's the music, the performances that should inspire us.
Anyway, I made my original comment based on observations here, not on what I find "inspiring". No need much inquiry to come to that conclusion.

Those comments ARE about the music. You are dissing the comments because they don't get many replies. Is that true anyway? Discussing YGTS is just as important as discussing Taylor. I think lots of people on this board have had enough of Taylor discussions. We all agree (except for jumping jeppe) that we would like him on more songs...

So why are you contributing to them if you think "lots of people on this board have had enough of Taylor discussions"?
Cheap populism the rest of your stuff here.
