Tell Me :
Talk
It seems there are two managers and then there's Mick himself. Kind of confusing I guess.
Agree completely. Mick Taylor was the sensitive boy genius and did not get along with Keith. Was not his "mate" the way Ron Wood is, so musicianship gets the heave ho. It's about who can get along with Keith meaning suck up to him. Ronnie has done a good at it, he knows his place
Taylor's and Keith's relationship was rather complicated, but musically they understood each other very well. Keith said he only got to know Taylor when he stayed in his house in Southern France during the exile period. Also one could see during this last tour that they had and still have a special relationship. It has more depth than the clownnish fooling around between Keith and Ronnie. Anyway, that's what my intuition tells me. Besides they communicated a lot through their music, not so much verbally. It's well known that Keith wasn't that happy when he heard Taylor had quit the band.
What? I have heard/seen no indication that MT has picked up some nasty habits or is in danger of "going off the rails". Yes he probably still drinks a bit but as far as hard drugs are concerned I believe he has finally out grown them. Not to say that alcohol isn't potentially dangerous for an addict/alcoholic but you make it sound like he is about to relive his misery as a smack addict. I seriously doubt that is going to happen. Get real, these kind of rumours are destructive in their own right. peace
Colonel Parker was Elvis's manager. I heard they were they were related.
Could not disagree more, Ronnie and Keith have a special musical communication , (well at the very least they had) I always felt with Taylor it was just the bog standard lead and rhythm relationship. Yes sometimes they would switch roles but it wasn't the same as Ronnie and Keith.

I'm sure Mick has written into the contracts that no drugs are allowed around the band prior to performances, a leftover from the "look after Ronnie because he can't" days.
These days, like most of the rest of society, most musicians are getting their drugs in nice little legal bottles from the pharmacies. Drugs like Hydrocodone, Oxycodone and Adderall have mostly replaced the heroin and cocaine of the 70's and 80's. As a touring musician I have seen this trend for a long time and have come to believe that these drugs are potentially just as harmful to the long term health and productivity of music making enterprises. Unfortunately with the trillion dollar Big Pharm industries behind it, it's not likely to end soon. peace
Maybe he didn't perform completely sober...
Below the belt?

Apparently you are; I mean you've hung around for awhile right? What's up with that, anyway? Criticizing people for just trying to have a decent conversation is rather counterproductive. I thought the subject matter was interesting; if you don't, then don't respond? Simple as that. Cheers!

Mick Taylor left the Stones simply because Bob "Bubka" Watkins offered him a Sales Position with his company IPC located in Louisville Ky. At an early age the young Mick had fancied himself a sales pro with a large company in the states. Alas his dream had finally come true. The position offered Mick a stable salary, commissions on his sales and a solid working schedule that fit Micks lifestyle at the time. For several years Mick led the Sales Team as Sales Pro of the month offering him additional bonuses and leading to a fine sales career that spanned over 30 years until Mick retired in 2005. On April 27 of that year Mick hade been presented the prestigious Glinder Award, honoring him as a top Sales Pro with a lifetime full of sales acheivements for IPC, Jagger and Richards were in attendance at the retirement party, on that day Taylor had been quoted as saying that "my early days with the Stones were great but it is my carreer at IPC that I am most proud of".
The Glinder Twins?

Would love to be his agent or manager when he decides to write his open and honest biography.
Not gonna happen until The Stones stop touring.
Don't wanna bite the hand that feeds you.
Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't receive an annual fee for 'not saying anything that would cause embarrasment', from a certain group of companys.
Mick Taylor deserves all he can get in his older years,just because he is a world class guitarist,and a Rolling Stone.

To be short: Taylor still has some work to do, besides practising the guitar!
Don't we all.....I think MT quit because Keith was very difficult to be around at that time, was a total jerk to him and a terrible influence to his health and lifestyle. It seemed great from the pictures and music when I was young, but what a shallow, self-centered, drug addled , back stabbing world it must have been for the sensitive mature musician that we all can imagine MT was at the time. I can't even imagine him surviving people like Freddie Sessler, et al.
He would have most probably done much better profesionally if he has the foresight, ability and resources to hire a PR machine, brilliant manager, finincial advisor and drug saavy minder. peace

He's alive and playing and looking better than he has for some time, how he copes with the end of this tour will be the determining factor. I'm hoping he goes back to rehab and continues this with a view to further stones work. The worry is he has picked up some nasty habits whilst on tour and goes on a bender with his money he earned. Ronnie, Mick and Charlie im sure will be keeping contact and maybe even helping him keep on track. It would be sad if he really went off the rails at this point. He is a fragile individual and still carries his monkeys.

In all honesty, that was one of my fears, as well. I don't feel that expressing that fear is rumor-mongering, at all. Fans know that he has had a terrible problem and are concerned. Actually, I was wondering myself how he was going to cope performing sober. Maybe that was a problem for him; we really don't know what went on behind the scenes. I'm not so worried about heroin as I am cocaine, especially before a performance. I hope he continues with rehab as it appears that he responded so well. I hope some day he quits the ciggies

So, Taylor's managers are some guy who keeps booking gigs without Taylor's involvement and which ever woman he is shagging at the time?
No wonder his solo career has been so bad.
