That expression came up a few times at the time and I think it was fairly accurate. While we can argue the finer points, I'm sure we can all agree that there's a big difference between Keith's attitude on stage in 2012 and in 2014, especially last night in Zurich based on the videos. Again, it's "nicer" to see him like that but if that means hitting more (and more) bum notes, well...that won't go down well with the fans (see the brief reports we've had from last night), so imagine how Mick feels about it!

From my point of view MT had 2 serious problems on MR. First it seemed that he could not hear his monitor and later his guitar broke (string or other technical problem) Then he was pissed, gave up and played some air guitar next to Keith. Then he got a new guitar and this was not tuned. Sorry for him, such a short appearance and then such a mess.

I think your expression is a bit light-hearted and not that accurate.
For instance, Keith was kicking and posing on I Wanna Be Your Man, smiling and joking (while playing guitar on BTMMR), as well as really rocking it up on MR and OOC.
However, there were moments were he looked very serious and focused. And that was on songs that are hard for him to do nowadays (probably because of his fingers), like GS among a few others.
So, imo, the picture is more nuanced. Of course, one might get that impression of the whole show, if one noticed this during a few songs. But it wasn't quite how it was.

From where I was in GC Keith's side, we could see that they changed the string on the same guitar. It seems MT does not have a second guitar. And of course, when you change string in haste, it does not stay in tune. This was the problem, I think.

As occasional guitar player, the mistakes we saw yesterday are so basic that it does make me worried about Keith for the future. As somebody commented above, Ronnie is now carrying all the load.

So, to sum up, in the last day or so Taylor is so out of favour that he's not being introduced or included in the final bows, has left the band and was spotted 600 miles away in London three hours before the band were due onstage in Switzerland and then managed to get to Zurich on time to have an almighty punch up with Keith onstage.
Did I miss anything or was he kidnapped by aliens while playing acoustic on 'Satisfaction' as well?
