There is no jazz fusion or whatever in MT's playing on Stones records. The closest thing to jazz if you will is Keith's crooning on albums from 1980 onwards.

I take it that you don't like jazz fusion Elsewhere on this forum I was more or less reprimanded for not mentioning Chicago as the best American band. I'm glad we can establish here that tastes are allowed to differ. I'm not sure anyone in the band would have let MT pursue that direction though.

QuoteHis Majesty QuoteHMS That was a big problem indeed - the Riffmaster not at the height of his abilities and a non-Stones-like sounding smooth and fluid playing guitarrero trying to take over the band. Had taylor stayed, the band would have crashed within a year or two, maybe earlier. Although I think you are some what mentally unhinged... ... there is something to what you say here. If

QuoteDandelionPowderman After studying Taylor's playing closely for 35 years I can't agree with this, though. It's just... wrong. I too, have been studying Taylor's and Ronnies playing for close to four decades. It seems we sort of hear the same things but draw opposite conclusions from them. You should have quoted me properly, I also said he failed at the attempt. Beca

QuoteHis Majesty Quotewonderboy Some of this Taylor backlash is a result of the Stones becoming a greatest hits show, playing the same rock and roll hits every tour. It's a result of them selling themselves as simply as possible to the broadest possible fan base -- so it's Keith, the riffmaster, and Mick, 'look at him dancing around.' Any kind of musicianship or subtlety is l

Well, someone started this discussion, arguing that Taylor's versions were bad, thus implying that Wood's versions were better. As there are by now many songs played by both Taylor AND Wood, throughout the years, it wouldn't be strange to have a preference. So I figured, let's turn the question around as it were.

QuoteHis Majesty QuoteSomeGuy Is there a Taylor version of this song? , so we can compare. Hopefully not as we all know what he would do to it. Let's agree that this is a very cool, what is it, Rod Stewart or Faces (?) song with an absolutely brilliant guitar part by Wood. As long as I don't have to listen to it I'm fine with that. What a pity he didn't stay with that ban

Perhaps it would be interesting to see how many songs suffered from the Wood treatment, rather than from the Taylor treatment.

Mick Taylor played bass and electric guitar on them, respectively. I vaguely remember that there was some court ruling that said they had to acknowledge the fact that Taylor wrote the songs (at least partially) at the time. Perhaps they bought him off later on? The way the label info is given doesn't suggest a typo, in my opinion.
Forum: Tell Me

I already admitted that I was wrong on the number of songs on Exile that Taylor was credited on. Right, it is one song only, according to my cd (I lost the lp years ago). But anyone that listens to Goat's Head Soup and It's Only Rock 'n' Roll can hear that Jagger & Richards likely could never have come up with some of the stuff on those albums. They never have before, and

Right. Maybe we should adopt a new concept of the phenomenon and will have to call Dave Davies 'songwriter for The Kinks', and Ian Hill 'one of the writers for Judas Priest'. Bun E.

One could of course argue that neither BAB or IORR should have been included in the calculation though, as Wood wasn't in the band at the time.
