Quotelatebloomer Quotegotdablouse Not sure if this has been posted here, from the Keith Mojo interview : Looks like he hasn't forgotten his "three guitar approach" comments that generated a lot of excitement : "I wanted to see if it could blossom into something else, like a three-guitar band.

QuoteTestify There are also statements of Keith not good against Taylor, so I would not give importance to the statements. Wood when he entered in the Stones was already a guitar player important, hardly needs to be defended, is talking his career, he has done so well outside of the Stones, unlike Taylor that has done little or nothing is now begs to be he called the Stones.

QuoteHMS Apart from Keith having met Mick at Dartfort station, Ron Wood is the best thing that ever happened to the Stones. Apart from Some Girls, to help them for their longevity and the brand as it is known today, I suppose I might agree.... But that is overlooking a little period of time from 1963-1974 - which is close to being the whole ball of wax.... which Ronnie had absolutely nothing

QuoteHMS Doing their own thing back then, following their muses? It´s not that simple, I believe. If you look close, the Stones in some way always delivered what was "in demand" First Rhythm n Blues, followed by Pop-Songs. Then the psychodelic experiments in answer to the Beatles and Pink Floyd. They became a Rockband, when Rock was in demand. Sure, they developed their own unique st

Well, he started the thread (I think) which got ahead of the tidal wave of sentiment - "We want more Mick Taylor please" (or whatever it was called). I had guessed it was sympathetic to a modest increase in Taylor contributions per show, but
Forum: Tell Me

Its interesting speculation - but now if the Stones chose not to "advertise" Taylor's presence, then he's just, for arguments sake, a back-up musician on stage and insurance might not enter it then? if I am following correctly. I would've guessed the relatively modest, but high priced, tickets Taylor might move for them, would've happened by word of mouth (social

Any serious Stones wiki would have to include Bill's claim - for being with them 30 years or whatever. It doesn't mean its a fact of course or that Bill is right, but it would be a proper/appropriate footnote. "Bill Wyman claims..." for the interested to ponder and come to their own conclusions (or not).

Yes, I understand... I doubt Bill had a lot to offer in the songwriting department, and though it is possible on occasion he did, (sort of like Ronnie's or even..the germ on JJF), the fact is, The Glimmers were both outstanding and prolific. Bill's resentment is a bit unreasonable I think in so much as he is perhaps implying at times he should've been given more opportunities. But

No, I believe Wyman gave up attempting to submit songs before 1970... There is nothing about him relentlessly trying to break into Stones' songwriting credits for 28 years. Did Ronnie co-write IORR? If he did, he surely didn't sue, notwithstanding all the millions of dollars at stake. They may well have had an agreement I recall mentioned..in connection to I Can Feel the Fire..s

So the overall pot remained divided 4 ways as before.... albeit without one
