QuoteSundanceKid It is worth noting that the cheques from Performing Rights Societies (a system of European origin) amount to very little unless you have an official writer's credit on a major hit. In US the non-composers (performing artists) were never entitled to any payments for public performance of their sound recordings. In other words, the authors would receive royalties when their s

Quote2000 LYFH Wonder how much he makes in an average year from Stones royalties alone? Very little. Due to the Stones withholding the royalties they owe him (morally and legally) from their own record label, Rolling Stones Records, ABKCO is the only record company that pays Mick Taylor royalties over sales of Stones records.

QuoteTitle5Take1 I know Taylor didn't get composing credits, but he does get performer's royalties for his Stones tunes. If my co-worker and her former husband were living comfortably off this oldie from the 50's, Mick T. must have a decent—if not princely—income.

Quotethecitadel the funny thing was that Bill slotted in to his "old" position, played virtually statically, smiled, said a few words to Keith, Ronnie, Charlie; was wound-up a little by Mick. No different than 20 years ago. Just looked his age. Mick Taylor was trailing Jagger around the stage like a lost puppy dog. Seeking the spotlight he has clearly missed. Maybe trying to emulate

QuoteDandelionPowderman Good. I know some big names who never would charge for guesting like that. Must be suffering from low self esteem then. No really, the situation at hand here is just not comparable to any of that. Given the history and interpersonal dynamics the Stones can hardly expect Wyman or Taylor to take on a philanthropist's approach to this. That would be ridiculous.
