QuoteTaylor1 Mick and Keith didn’t fire him.If he hadn’t quit I’m sure they would have continued making great music. Very likely. Different musical and/or ego problems between the Glimmer Twins and Taylor might have occurred though.

Quoteslew Their 78-83 period is very very good and could not have happened with Mick Taylor. I think that it was up to Keith and Jagger to determ what the second guitarist had to play - more or less. Even if they had a monster player like John McLaughlin or Jeff Beck aboard, they would have been obliged to play a few insignificant notes.

QuoteStoneage If you're into that 70s blues, jazz, fusion stage I guess it's brilliant - especially if you're a guitar solo aficionado. It reminds me of Santana and the likes of him. I think that was progressive in the 70s but not anymore. To me it seems frozen in time and as far away from rock and roll you could imagine. To put it shortly, technically brilliant but boring. Agr

QuoteTaylor1 QuoteTheflyingDutchman Nice shuffle. He and Keith are my all time favorite guitarists but his solo career has been a disappointment.He should have done more rock n roll.These blues performances for me are not that interesting Here Taylor plays the same as he did with the Stones. The backup is completely different. Hence the shuffle. Career is not the subject. Musically spoken.

Just one, all others will cease to exist, including pre....... Go I would commit suicide right on the spot.

Quoterogerriffin The great absence of Hackney Diamonds, was the missing stones to play there.. No need to sell your soul.This is something else.

QuoteKoen QuoteTheflyingDutchman Taylor is only on the live versions, except the outro solo and a guitar buried in the mix. It sounds a bit like a Hammond organ. Wrong thread? No. Watch the video That Taylor1 posted. It says Richards and Taylor.

QuoteGazza The movie was subtitled 'The Rise of The Rolling Stones' so the premise was always to focus on the early years. If anything its maybe surprising it went as far as two decades into their career. Most critics dismiss pretty much everything after 1972. As a left-wing conservative critic I insist to dismiss everything after 1974. With the exception of Memory Motel.

Quotepmk251 QuoteTheflyingDutchman Crank up the volume. Taylor is playing great here. The other guitarist too. The other guitarist is Blondie Chaplin; Joel Diamond (kb); Wilbur Bascomb (b); and Eric Parker (d). This band is a particular favorite of mine of MT's various line-ups. Indeed, all the band members are very good on an individual level as well.

QuoteNoPanic Why poor sound from Essen 70?This Rubber Dubber release sounds very good to me Because there's not much depth in the recording, as if it's recorded from a big distance, and it's mono, no separation between Taylor and Richards. The brilliant quality of their playing gives a very good compensation for this - whilst listening to it I always forget about the audio

QuoteNoPanic I read in a discograhy from the early 80ies about that album. It is written that it came out on Bash Records and is also available on Underground Records. Is it just another variation of the Essen 70 release or did I miss something. But they also say it is a different album from the one of the same name on Roll and Rope and on Rubber Dubber.
