Overall lack of respect. For Mick Taylor, with added restrictions, even humiliations. Hence, for the sensible fans and music lovers, expecting more MT’s involvement. After the dream come true of MT’s comeback. Hangover. No statement, no information. Communication zero. Having to guess. « Kremlinology » as someone rightly compared. Disappointing. Contemptuous remarks and MT’s bashing (from R

There were previous MJ-MT snippets of positive interaction on this video of Midnight Rambler: MJ looks for MT 7:40 and finds him 7:49 MJ bursts out laughing on the heavy guitar tremolo 8:18 MT seemed to play happily on Satisfaction: After the first bow, MT applauds twice to KR.

Quotedcba Whether you like it or not, MT is a "special guest" not a 6th member... Therefore his contribution must and will be minimal. This policy meets Jagger's point of view : the Stones sahll never become a nostagia act. If MT was allwoed to play on ADTL or YCAGWYW people would say "oh they went back to the 72-73 formula". Jagger would hate that... Truly, som

We haven't to miss that Mick Taylor's immense talent was intimately associated with the music of the Rolling Stones. I mean it is not only extraordinary solos out of context. But wonderfully constituent of the RS music at its peak.

QuoteDoxa I guess this new term "Richardite" is just pseudonym a for "Woodite" or "Woodist". The logic of "Woodism" is that there is no other effective musical force than Richards (and Jagger in lesser degree) in The Rolling Stones, which could have something significant to offer to their music. Ronnie Wood is a perfect Rolling Stone for them, since he do

Dear Dandelion, I have a better time explaining overall : 1- what I like : talent of course, creativity and truth, hence emotion. Especially the rawness and the mix of strength and elegance the RS used to display in the early years and still display at times. 2 - what I dislike : flourish, pretention, flakes, marketing inflation and obvious fashion following.

Witness, beside teasing, I agree with you. In the end of 1969 and during 4 years, the Rolling Stones set a new standard in RnR shows. A shift in mastery and excellence. A solid pattern, a new way of playing their warhorses (JJF, SFTD...), with elements of creativity and inspiration, hence danger. A paradigm shift! The Rolling Stones had a signature, that nobody on earth could mimic or approa

Rockn'Roll roots (Chuck Berry roots) + Rolling Stones signature (notice Let's Spend the Night Together accents) + heavy studio work (flourished "Las Vegas" style). Sophisticated arrangement, multi instruments. In my opinion, at the expense of genuineness and rawness (trademark of the original sound of the Rolling Stones). Nice to hear, funny to watch on the video. A pleasan

Ron Wood is surely a great guy and more than a decent guitar player. He deserves respect for both.
