Quotez Quotedcba Since the Toronto'77 incident Keef couldn't cross borders without being searched... So he asked Mick to grow a beard so he could hide his stash in it. Actually Keith asked him to grow a bear, but Mick misheard him. No, he asked him to "grow a pair".

QuoteHMS He´s just a player with almost no writing skills. He is lost without songs and he havent had a song since he left the Stones. Maybe another player would have added even more to albums like Exile, SF, GHS, IORR. We will never know... In fact he stretched out only a very times with the Stones, mostly on rather ridicilous Jagger-ballads, as can be found on GHS & IORR. He´s most prominen

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quote71Tele QuoteDandelionPowderman Country Honk.. I thought so. So in a 2-album stretch slide by Richards, Jones (No Expectations), Cooder, and Taylor. Not bad. That could have happened, but SM didn't wind up on LIB. Cooder only played mandolin on LIV. True. But from a time-recorded perspective...

Interesting that in the Beggars Banquet/LIB era we had excellent slide from Brian Jones, Keith Richards, and Ry Cooder. What was Mick Taylor's first slide track with the Stones?
Forum: Tell Me

OK, I couldn't resist one more. To the "he was just a guitar player who happened to be there" crowd: No, he wasn't. He helped shape the music. During the GHS/IORR period he crafted and arranged (I will stay out of the "co-wrote" debate) much of the material with Jagger. I happen to think GHS is an overlooked minor masterpiece, IORR less so, but there is a mood of mel

QuoteWitness QuoteHMS 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 1

Back for a moment just to say how much I love this track. Like lots of great blues, it's deceptively repetitive. The complexity is not in the chord progression or riff, but in the rhythm and interplay of instruments. Charlie's drum pattern, for example: Pure genius. Mick Taylor given a writing credit(!), though apparently even he doesn't understand why he got one on this track, as
