After "Going Down Slow," he sat down and played metallic 12-string slide while singing "Little Red Rooster," and then strapped on a Gibson electric guitar to sing and trade licks with Clapton on "Spoonful.&qu

QuoteHarm Can they say "official" when in fact it's not? Too bad, it looks quite nice though You mean the stolen domain ? Well it seems to be possible to "say" it, because they've already done so. But that term is very misleading in this case. Something that is unauthorised can not really be official, can it ?

QuoteRolling Hansie Rockman also posted an article on page 1 of this thread. That's from 1975. Maybe you consider that one reliable ? At least it's not a sensationalist piece and the journalist did actually speak to Mick instead of just referring to an "interview" that never took place.

QuoteDoxa I can't buy that explanation... sounds too... what... romantic? That the Stones is too 'dangerous' band to play.

Quotestonesdan60 Surely this is the most honest explanation right from Taylor's own mouth. This is from a relatively recent interview which I also read sometime within the last year or so.

QuoteLightnin' If you read that Taylor was using during the 1972 tour or addicted during the IORR recordings then that is just wrong, plain and simple. Where did you read that ? I don't know any reputable sources that would make that claim. I think it would go way too far to see Mathijs' personal opinion as authoritative, he was probably still in diapers when that tour happened.
