Adults not acting like adults. Sad. The lack of commenting by Wood and others is strange. It can't be about insurance as many stars tour despite drug and constant health problems. See Jerry Garcia.

Some idiot write waxing lyrical about Clapton possibly joining Stones with old recording of Clapton playing Brown Sugar: Frankly Eric plays it quite a bit like how Mick Taylor played Brown Sugar. So the Stones got as good of a guitarist as Clapton without the ego. IMHO.

I think every has to keep in mind that every participant close to the Stones likely signs contracts that include certain non-disclosures and non-disparagement and also probably limits their ability to even discuss the tour - except for the 4 members of the Stones.

The trade-off solo in SFD on Get Ya-Yas out is one of the best guitarist solo trades of all time. I think MT's solo at the end is amazing. However, in talking to friends of mine who are professional guitarists they have said that the limited amount of notes Keef hit in his solo and the fluidity was actually technically more adept than MT's later solo. But for sure Ronnie and Keef n

Is there any doubt that Ronnie gives Keef comfort even though Keef can't really control Brenda? I mean no way is MT the type of guy to console, coddle or lionize Keef.... But Ronnie will.

Again, because of MT's meekness the remaining Stones have no problem giving gratuitous, backhanded insults. Imagine if Hendrix, Clapton or Beck were treated this way. MT is not a showman like Hendrix (i.e. the fedora and burning guitars) but he delivered it just as much in his own way. For the Stones he is a perfect fit. Keith is jealous - hence the reason he hired an inferior guitaris

I have 12 friends....we were all willingly fleeced of $600 per ticket to see MT as part of the Stones. We saw only a few songs. We will not be going to any shows on this tour. We have been to hundreds of shows over the last 40 years. Seeing MT come back was worth it. Without MT they are kind of a Vegas act - all choreographed. When Taylor left the Stones it was a tragedy and by the 1973

I bet Brenda scolded MT for going "Hendrix" on him. MT has the ability to play like a cutting edge jam band guitarist. I bet a Trey Anastasio would give MT kudos for doing that. I could totally see MT realizing his time is limited and compartmentalized saying to himself "Screw it" - I am going to really break out the AXE and I don't care what Brenda thinks....

Would people get rid of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton (over rated), Jimmy Page? But its okay to dump MT off a Sticky Fingers Tour. MT is the most underrated, under appreciated guitarist of all time. A Top 5 guitarist without question.

QuoteTurner68 Quotestrat72 QuoteTurner68 Mick Taylor was great with them on the 69/70 tours. Then he developed a bit too much of an ego IMO, became a little self-indulgent and started soloing and playing riffs all over the songs, trying to turn them into just another early 70s guitar band. Songs like Gimme Shelter and Brown sugar, to my ears, just aren't as good in 72/73 because Taylor just

Hey Dandy...take a Midol! I know about a dozen fans who stopped going to shows because the RS are too predictable and over charge.

My opinion of Mick Taylor is this: He is the greatest rock guitarist of all time. Deep down the stones know this and for monetary reasons and ego reasons they left him out. Every knows this is the truth.

I wonder if MJ will call MT if something happens to Ronnie or Keef? Other than that I think only Ticket Sales will get their attention. I got played by MJ with the MT rollout. I won't go to another show with these crazy prices unless MT is given a lot more songs! I won't be holding my breath....ugh.
