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

I think the stones team were sad that MT did not reply to the invitation and come and there has been all this FB fuss.
It seems pretty clear he was invited at the same time as everyone else.

The invitation was sent to Taylor by the Stones off before they did their gig in Cuba. Why Taylor didn't make it to go there, I don't know. The FB message is incorrect.

Mick Taylor is allowed to ask a question or even express his feelings on his own Facebook page. Why should his people censor his views ?

His argument is that if they are are showing photographs with him in them and making money off photographs with him in them then he should be invited. I don't really have a problem with that. If in addition, they are denying him royalties then I can see why he would be upset.

This may lessen the
chances of him performing with the band in the future.

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.
No one in the world can imagine the albums SG & ER with Taylor as lead guitarist. His playing is melodious and kind of mellow, but the Stones picked up punk influences. That would never have succeeded with Taylor. Ronnie brought back the roughness they needed and more - he knew the ancient form of weaving, Mick Taylor never did know anything about weaving, he is a soloist who always wanted to stretch out more than the Stones would let him. Ronnie isnt keen on playing 7-minute-solos, he loves interplay and interaction, he is a natural born weaver, exactly what a group like the Stones need.
No one can image MT playing on Undercover or Dirty Work, he was good for the music the Stones made in the early 70s but definitely the wrong guy for everything after 1975!
The general consensus is that he did it in large part for his health, he was surrounded by addicts and excess and was turning into one himself. He might not be here today if he had stayed in the band. Artistic reasons also no doubt played a factor, with Taylor getting bored of the musical limitations of the band but I think that the main factor was for health reasons.Quote

Why did he leave the band? Nobody asked him to leave.

The suggestion is that MT should approve what appears on his page, not that anyone should "censor" him.
The point is that whoever is posting this stuff is making MT seem very petty, and he should tell them to stop.
