To me the most comforting part to read is that MT has people that (I assume) seem to represent him. Very good, we'll see him playing very soon then, with or without the Stones.

Like you didn't know

No, I don't. Only Taylor does, and he doesn't post here.

Is Taylor the only one who knows he has people representing him - what about those people?

Taylor is ultimate responsible for the things that happen in his life: with whom he his playing, how he is playing and eventually people that represent him. Even the things he did with Ron Wood and the Rolling Stones this decade. I think he could have done better.

Taylor's involvement in the upcoming tour, or lack thereof, clearly wasn't within his control. Still, in principle, I don't disagree. A public statement from him anytime in the past few months would have put a stop to this incessant bullshit. Instead he's persisted with having his people brief against the Stones (and apparently now against this board) through a Facebook group and via email. Only he knows why.

My guess would be he's trying to lay low in hopes that something might change at the 11th hour. Any negative talk attributed to him would probably kill any chance he has of playing a role at all this year.

He seems to have posted on FB that he "unfortunately" wasn't invited for the next tour. We should accept that just like he said it.

Are you sure it was Taylor himself who wrote like that on a MT FB fanpage? He must have lost his pride then, imo.

"He" is in this case just a way of saying that his people did it. I'm sure you also can find one of my posts saying that he doesn't post there himself, right?

That would be a fulltime job..

LOL! Yeah, but I know you know

Well i think i am right in thinking that Roger Daltreys mate Pete posts on here from time to time so you never know!!!

agree

I would if I were him...don't blame him for not speaking out...and we probably shouldn't be putting any pressure on his 'camp'...

My guess is he's laying low because aside from this small fan base, no one cares what he's doing. Before 2012 we heard just as much from him. Its not odd that he's not talking. I don't think its cause he wants to get called at the 11th hour. I think its cause he doesn't have anything to talk about and no one's really asking him questions. Same as he's always been.

after two years back with the Rolling Stones, he's got nothing to talk about?

its one thing to not be talking...that's different from saying nobody is asking questions..

Taylor just isn't the media personality who goes on talk shows..

although a lot of us wish he would, and I reckon he would if he got something together to promote..

He was at Fallon and Howard Stern fairly recently, though, but I agree. He doesn't strike me as the kiss and tell-type..

Yeah without a band or new music or even a new project, the talk and questions would center on the Stones. He's already told us he enjoyed playing on the last tour and he wasn't invited on this one, not sure there is much more to that story.

But... I think his fan base is probably as big as it's been in the last 20 years and many of us want to hear what his plans for he future are and if we can expect to see him live in 2015.

Just laying low like he has done in the past somehow doesn't cut it for me. Now that he has been thrown into the limelight again, I think our expectations of him have gone up a bit. His opportunity to meet those expectations is happening now. I hope his enthusiasm for his own career hasn't diminished due to his age and what will obviously be somewhat of a comedown after touring with the Stones, but I'm afraid both those things are a factor.

nothing is changing, he's laying low so the checks from the stones don't stop.

Wasn't he just on Fallon with Stern as a guest that night...three years ago? I don't consider that fairly recently. Love to see him on Howard's show because no doubt Howard would ask all the tough questions and probably get Mick to talk. Howard may be a bit of an immature jerk but he does have a way of cutting through the fluff and getting to the interesting and often controversial content.

The last time he talked to Mick Taylor Howard asked him if he's going to form a group with Pete Best...I don't think MT thought it was funny at the time...

that album John Scofield made with Medeski Martin & Wood-

A Go-Go..

that's a format for Mick Taylor that would really work, imo..

small band, bluesy improv, funky too, bring it on..

Maybe I misunderstood the reports back then. Three years ago could be right. I thought he was on Howard's show as well.

That's totally correct. Stern, by the way, showed how much he loves and respects Taylor as a guitarist, and got some answers from Taylor as well if I recall correctly. That Fallon guy had nothing to say, just a nobody, but Howard S. seems to me the guy to be with for Taylor.

Do you know who Stern is, kleerie?

I saw him talking with Taylor in Fallon's show and I found it funny. Taylor responded nicely too. But do I have to know the man, supposed it's possible?

I mean what he usually does, how he treats people and how his "radio show" is?

Do you? I mean know what he usually does or how he treats people on his radio show? Most of his guests come on over and over, so he probably treats them well, I would say. Like any successful comedian, some people think he goes too far with his humor, but "how he treats people"? You are off base there.

Scofield as a one chord guy, very rare.

I've heard him enough times to know a jerk when I see and hear him.
