sometimes he uses the third person and the first person in the same post. Amateur presentation from an icon, simply unbelievable. Very few things the public knows best but in this case Taylor should read the advise and cool it until he can right his ship.Quote

The posts are likely made by someone other than Mick, but someone who knows him that is not on a payroll. He does have a knack for picking people.

this is why i can't, and will not until a change happens (which i highly doubt), like and respect especially mick and keith on a personal level, i respect and like them musically and some aspects of their personalities but lets be honest, they've been like this since forever. if they don't like you, you're never going to be acknowledged. i mean this especially applies to brian jones, he can't even defend himself, he's in a coffin 3 meters in the ground for heavens sake! and to be frank, they are a big factor as to why brian is remembered as this drugged up, worn down, depressed, non-contributing, pathetic, alcoholic and abusive a**hole. it's so disrespectful to discredit and almost completely airbrush someone that was so important and influential to the band out of history. mainly brian, mick (and to a certain degree bill) continues to get screwed over by the band and this is the latest installment in this recurring issue. they're honestly actively erasing brian and mick from history, and that should be very upsetting.
Um. Rubbish.
Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman both voluntarily left the band.
Pretty much debunks most of your conspiracy theory(s).
Brian's descent and ultimate succumbing to alcohol/drug addiction was well documented. As was his manic/abusive behaviors.
As with a lot of (us) practicing addict/alcoholics, he left a lot of turmoil in his wake. You may not like the truth about Brian (or Taylor) but no one screwed the over as much as they screwed themselves over.

If I remember correctly, the Facebook page says that when the Stones switched record companies and signed a new deal, he stopped receiving the proper royalty payments from his time in the band.

As I read this thread, I can't help but remember a recent thread on Daryl's audition process as well as some of the philosophical thoughts on "sidemen" that have been brought up over the years. I wonder if Taylor might have been included more if he had been "a better hang".
Realistically though, I wonder what he was expecting for this. Did he want to ride to the show with them? Walk the red carpet with them? Do interviews with the press about his time in the band?
From just the pictures and comments about the event, it reads/looks like Bill arrived separately and was not included in "official" photos with the band. Which makes perfect sense. He's not in the band. He's also seemly smart enough to not show up at an event like this and start complaining about how the current band treats him if he does happen to interviewed. Can the same be said about Mick Taylor?
If I were any of the current Stones, I wouldn't want to invite an ex-member with a grudge to a place where everyone is smiling for the cameras and giving sound bites as to why people should come check out the show.
Peace,
Mr DJA

MT was invited but did not RSVP and it's not him writing those comments on his FB page.

Ah Mick T doesn't live in the UK and wasn't informed of this event, he wrote this on Facebook "My office had to alert the gallery to the fact that I exist. I don't reside in England. All we got is a late reply (only AFTER many fans commented on social media yesterday). The message says that 2 tickets have to be collected before 15:00. They know I live overseas, so this does not qualify as an 'invitation'. They waited until it became a logistic impossibility to attend."

I seem to recall that both Mr. Taylor and Mr. Wyman voluntarily left The Rolling Stones.
I have no Sympathy for whatever current complaints each may respectively have at this point in time.

So... Taylor has an office?

Mick Taylor made the right decision for him at the time by quitting. Supposedly part of the reason he quit was to get away from the drug culture of the Stones. It is easy in retrospect to say it was the wrong decision but if he is still alive because of the decision then it was the correct one for him at that time.

Right or wrong decision, it doesnt matter. The Stones had dropped him anyway, as their musical direction was about to change.

According to Mick Taylor's Facebook page he is not getting the royalties he is owed for his time with the band. He apparently is not receiving his 20% share that was split among the 5 band members in the band at that time.
