Just listen to Black And Blue. Wayne Perkins & Harvey Mandel let you forget completely the absence of MT. He was just a guitar player who was lucky to be with the Stones at their artistic peak. His influence or significance is minimal, imo. Brian Jones was very important and unique for their sound and image, MT wasnt. If Harvey Mandel would have been with the Stones in 1969-74 instead of MT the albums they made back then would still be masterpieces and would sound only slightly different. Maybe GHS and IORR would have been better albums in the end.

As much as I like MT it really was refreshing to see Brian get a good crack of the whip at Exhibitionism.
Also don't forget MT probably has minimal gear and what he has he probably uses.

Come on, you can't be serious. In the age of the 'guitar god' Mick Taylor was just perfect because he was a terrific player, and he looked great (which was very important then, think only of Led Zeppelin, the Who, etc.! His shy image only added to his Appeal back then.
And nobody who ever listened to the live recordings from GYYYA to Brussels 1973 could Support your opinion that his influence was minimal. Unfortunately I was too young to attend a concert in 1973.
I tend to believe that Ron Wood was the right man for the 'punk years' and the Disco era. Nobody knows how the Stones would have developed if Taylor had stayed. But during the five years he was with the band he was the right man.
I will never undrestand how they could humiliate him so severley by taking him on tour basically for one song (Forget the acoustic guitar strumming on 'Satisfaction').

Taylor didn't want his gear around. I'm pretty sure Keith didn't mind...

I dont want to argue about ronnie and taylor, but i always said ronnie suited the image at the time, but taylor was the better player for me.

Can someone tell me if Mick Taylor is playing the slide on this version of Lovin Cup? When was this recorded, at Nellcote or earlier?

It feels more like Richards to me but not 100% sure!

But this credit list is for the released cut, is it the same for the unreleased one I posted?

I only listened to the first 2 minutes of the outtake you posted, but if that's Taylor, he had a few pints. A bit sloppy and unfocussed. Besides TIOOS and Nico Zentgraf are not always reliable sources to me.

Your tireless campaign against Mick Taylor gives good evidence that there is much about his contribution to the Stones. If not, you would not have been so desperate to denigrate him. Only that you cannot stand his guitar style. However, that solo guitar of his belongs to one one of the peaks of the Stones history. Not because of that only, but vitally also that.
Good luck striving on in your campaign. You give us a good reminder of Mick Taylor on each occasion. Are your paid for this mission?

It's a mild form of mental sadistic personality disorder. He uses Taylor now, but it could be anybody really.

Yes, it´s Taylor playing on some of their greatest albums but it could be anybody really. IMO,any skillful player could have been doing the job and would be worshipped today. It´s the Jagger/Richards-combination that created the early-70s masterpieces. Taylor is just the cherry on the cake, but it could as well been a strawberry, would still have tasted delicious.

I know. But I felt the phrase (bold written) could be applied on MT. It fits perfectly.
