Contrarian pov :
MT left the band FORTY TWO years ago. Would you invite the wife you divorced from in 1974 to the baptism of your little nephew?
It's old, very old.
Plus I guess the divorce wasn't totally clean as far as Jagger/Richards are concerned. Maybe they feel they were let down back then in Dec. 1974 and they still hold gripes against MT?
Jagger/Richards aren't adverse to meeting guys from their past : when the retrospective "Exile" exhibition opened in Paris a few years ago, Jagger dropped by and had a nice chat with Dominique Tarlé...

200+ guests attending tomorrows VIP event and they can't even invite a former band member.

It was probably convenient for Stones at that time.Quote

Mick Taylor was invited to play on the anniversary concerts in 2012, so I don't see why he shouldn't be invited for the exhibition.

Mick Taylor
Whether I left or not is irrelevant. The point is that I'm part of the Stones' history and legacy, which is what this exhibition is about, isn't it.

Not sure if Bill was invited.

Mick Taylor
It's hard to imagine they don't know my name after spending all that time putting the exhibit together

I would, if I had their numbers.

I think it is totally irrelevant about all the other people apart from Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor and dear Brian Jones as they were Rolling Stones.
Most of the others will be featured in some way in Exhibitionism I'm sure, and we all have our own faves about who should be in the limelight more.
We will see tomorrow night who will be there................or not there, but Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor so deserve to just be invited as former Stones, with so many here today .............gone tomorrow guys and gals, who I have not even heard of.
I do hope it all works out great for all concerned.
*You have fun! And please report backQuote

Ronnie said in an interview with The Australian last year why Mick is no longer a guest on tour with them and said
“He’s a lovely guy, Mick,” says Wood, “but he’s fraught with personal problems. He’s a hell of a handful in the real world. Once he has a guitar in his hand, he’s fine.”
[www.theaustralian.com.au]
I was shocked at how candid his answer was and it did make me think things did not end on good terms - Ronnie usually has ONLY nice things to say about EVERYONE. Have Ronnie Mick played together outside the stones since? I vaguely remember a charity gig?
Anyway, having someone tour with you every night is a completely different thing to not being invited to an exhibition opening of which that persons work and legacy is being celebrated.

I don't believe this is Mick Taylor himself writing, if it is he's gone bonkers, this is not the stuff for public moaning, he should simply show up at the opening and Dare Keith to put him out.
if legit this is one of the strangest moments in public band history. Of course there will always be hugs and kisses as Taylor will be forced be grovel at a future date.Ronnie he is one shrude player, putting MT on his stage than outing him as an head case. In a world of head cases, Taylor is singled out, dreadful, unforgettable. Being a former Stone is no gas.Quote

Hard to know whose behind it, but I agree Doom that it's bad PR for both him and the Stones. I don't know what he hopes to accomplish with it, if it is him, except maybe he's gone beyond caring, like a bitter ex. Something must have gone seriously wrong between him and them.
Coudln't agree more. Wood hasn't exactly been a pillar himself.Quote
