QuoteTravelinMan Taylor’s parts can be heard on Rocks Off, but I think his boogie pattern on Rip This Joint is pretty low in the mix. The slide on the bootleg is different from anything I’ve heard him do before so I’m not sure about that. It’s 100% Taylor on Shake Your Hips: Yes that's what I'm saying,there is no evidence of a Taylor rhythm guitar on Rock's Off. Mathijs w

QuoteTaylor1 Mathijs is very knowledgeable about guitars and music, but it sounds like he tries to lessen Taylor’s contributions.There is no proof he doesn’t play on Brown Sugar or Rip this Joint.

QuoteMathijs QuoteTravelinMan The replaced parts on Ya Ya’s were probably done because the tone didn’t have enough crunch. Taylor played fairly clean rhythm live. Taylor's parts were erased as they clashed with Keith's main rhythm guitar. It's the same for quite some Taylor parts on Exile, that were erased as it clashed with Richards' idea for parts.

I never really liked Star Star but after reading this thread I relistened and enjoyed it's sleazy charms. I always felt the words were a prototype of the style of lyrics Jagger wrote on Some Girls. Th guitars sound great and while Keith can play those lead licks in his sleep they have rarely sounded so nasty! Also demonstrates MT and KR could weave when they felt like it.

QuoteTheflyingDutchman QuoteFP For example Travelin Man mentioned to me he emailed Mick Taylor about Brown Sugar and the reply confirmed he did play on it. Of Course MT played on the live versions.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Taylor as rhythm player, something that gets overlooked due to his awesome solo skills. Live With Me, B*tch, Shake Your Hips, Star Star & Heartbreaker show he could really drive a song and his pretty chordal fills on I Got The Blues show he could be a sensitive accompanist as well.
