The songwriting is not the point with MT: no-one denies it was Mick and Keith's zenith creatively. The point is MT's musicianship, the way he embellished their output during his tenure and the way his influence rubbed off on the band's playing as a whole.
They seriously wouldn't.
IORR is a bit crap, but GHS is excellent. And if you think these albums suck with Taylor, try imagining them without him.
Virtually everyone agrees that as bluesy lead players go, he's one of the all time best. You can count his equals on the fingers of two hands.
No, they didn't. It says a lot about Wood's contributions to the Stones that he feels the need to come out with crap like this and stories about Taylor's 'stage fright'.

I would rank '72 and Pacific Tour '73 over anything the Stones have done live in part due to the inclusion of Nicky Hopkins. I mean talk about a virtuoso!
I'm not a fan of Jagger's vocals in '75 although the like the set list. '78 is cool because they are stripped down and Wood doesn't try and fail to play like Taylor. He plays like Wood, which actually sounds like Neil Young on electric and it works much better for him.
If you think Love in Vain is lifeless you need to have your own pulse checked.
If you're talking about stage presence well, kind of hard to execute his playing style jumping around like a court jester!
It was no "almost coincidence" Taylor was hanging around the Stones at that time. Pretty sure the story of him being invited to play on the LIB sessions and doing so well that Keith and Mick asked him to join the band is pretty well known. After being highly recommended by John Mayall. Nothing coincidental about that. I agree about the creative peak of Mick and Keith but like to think their choice to bring Taylor on board was a part of that creativity. They knew it was just what the music needed and as usual at that time they hit the nail on the head.
But discipline is an important part of guitar playing...
Who would you say is the best guitarist the Stones ever had?
.....
Olly.
Since you ask.. My vote goes to Taylor, just because he could deliver the most versatile repertoire in a one hour concert. Rock, Blues, great slide, fusion influenced and some jazzy improvisations. And his tone and sound like back in the days. He really had it.

If you imagine the Rolling Stones wouldn't exist, and let all of them do a solo concert, no Stones songs. At least that's the idea I based my answer on. Or even better, no songs at all. Just instrumental music/improvisation. A different discipline. Just like Larry Carlton or Jeff Beck. Then I put my cards on Taylor.
Nice quote carpet! This has been said in different ways so many times on this forum but coming from Charlie it is unimpeachable.
Frank opinions regarding Ronnie. Frank enough to remind me of his comments regarding Jones aired on a BBC Top of the Pops 2 Stones Special in 2003.
.....
Olly.
Strong words from Charlie indeed. "Musically Ronnie didn't bring anything."
Its very true. Well what he did bring was not worth bringing except for the weaving !!
Keith wouldn't say it. Neither would Mick...but they both know it...It's still too bad they didn't take advantage of that fact on the last tour. We'd actually be still talking about it...
Mick wouldn't say that directly about Ronnie but he has been quoted that the band with Mick Taylor produced their best music or something along those lines. I wish I could remember where that quote came from, maybe it was the Exile documentary or Crossfire Hurricane..
Feel you on both opinion's. re. your last one...I loved his concert rhythm playing and considered him a perfect foil for Keith. For me, what he plays on the Brussels Rambler in that regard is particulary brilliant. Would also suggest MT rescued some rather dull (for me) content present in his last two albums with the band.
To honour Charlie Watts for this most marvellous quote, be fair to Charlie and do not strip his outlook for its vital nuances. About Ronnie: "Musically, he didn't bring anything, ......." has, nonetheless, an important continuation, "....., but he has this facility to add to things".
If we want to, we may try to interprete that point of view. But towards the complete sentence, I think.
How great you are man !!!!!

I am a die hard fan of the Rolling Stones since 1982.
And I like every period in their career, including the Taylor-years. But I do think he is over-rated. That is my personal opinion, nobody is forced to share it. No band touches the stones, they are simply the best band in the world. But not everything that glitters is gold and so it is with the stones. They created great music, but some of their efforts are debateable. For me Ronnie fits better in the Stones-universe, as a person AND as a musician. Taylor´s virtuosity mellowed the Stones at times, Ron brought back sharpness & roughness to their music.
Hard Fan from 1982 and first live in 1990, OMG i'm sorry for you
It's no curse. You have seen the band on their finest Tours: Voodoo Lounge through to Licks.
.....
Olly.
Similar to me, hard fan since 82' first seen them 89' and a further 7 or 8 times after that spread out over 14 years.
I guess you missed the tour(s) before this one when Taylor actually was on stage with the Stones again? I assure you it was a highlight of those shows.
Well it can either be taken as somewhat contradictory or perhaps the things he adds that Charlie is referring to are not musical. Like he adds to the camaraderie of the band, which of course is well documented.
I take it more that he didn't bring any songs, heightened musicianship or guitar styles to the band but is able to add things like pedal steel, guitar solos and second guitar parts.
Talk about your favorite band.

IORR/GHS are two weak and very boring releases, although Taylor is playing on both albums. So if he were indeed the iconic figure in Stones history, these albums should have been far better than they are

Charlie Watts: "The Mick Taylor period was a creative peak for us. A tremendous jump in musical credibility. Now Keith won't say that; Keith, I think, would prefer to play with Ronnie as a partner. But Mick Taylor was an incredible virtuoso. Brian wasn't, he was a good all-round player, and Ronnie's the same. He'll play wonderful bottleneck guitar and pedal steel -- any instrument, like Brian -- but Mick gave our music terrific lyricism. Ronnie is a very likeable person, a great sense of humor. Musically, he didn't bring anything, but he has this facility to add to things." Mojo Magazine 2003

I downloaded a bunch of MT solo shows yesterday and today and was surprised to see how much his set lists for the past thirty years are stagnant. I guess it's not really the point, as he uses the songs to jam and improvise, but it's something I never noticed. I particularly liked the tour where he teamed with Blondie C.
