I loved the interview with Mick Taylor l also love his accent !

"A successful guitar player"?? Understatement to cause dizziness. The group lost its soul for good when this guy took a one way walk. But how important is artistic achievement anyway when you can tour the oldies for the ensuing forty five years to packed arenas where disposable incomes cure the pain of hearts aching with nostalgia?

Sorry mate I missed subscribing, hope you're not gettin fucked by machine utubè.

Is uyube owned by that greedy snake markzukerberg?

Mick's guitar playing gave the Stones an element they never had before, nor since. His album with Mark Knopler on Dylan's Infidels made it a fantastic piece of work.

He isn't on JJF, Sympathy, Streetfighting Man, Gimme Shelter...

yez

yes

Yes

Get Your Ya-Ya's out !!!

He was there for some girls, black and blue, emotional rescue and tattoo you right?

I agree, the best stones albums are with mick Taylor. But they exceeded without him as well

And Taylor have never has a virtuoso group like they Stones

@@carlosmedrano4864: If you say so. The rolling stones were never the greatest group of musicians. They were very commercially successful though.

@@jacoblandman7345 Beggars Banquet & Let It Bleed are two of their very greatest Albums both made without Mick Taylor! And both better than GH Soup & Only Rock & Roll albums with him!

Booster Rocket - well said!

You mean thanks Brian , Jones that is , no Jones No Stones

Really? Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed (vast majority of it) were before he joined.

@@scottythetrex5197 but , there was no BRIAN , an they did need a lead guitarist , i think that was his point

@@user-sz5xs7dm4u Exactly.

THIS !

His solos simply soared. Live masterpieces. Thank goodness for bootleggers for capturing some of them.

@@finch45lear amen - Ya Ya’s just ain’t enough!

Have you heard the version with Carla Olson and Mick Taylor? Plus they also did Sway.

One of their most underrated songs ever!

Agreed, yet there the mighty Stones have lots of lesser known masterpieces of equal splendor.

I also.

Wonderful

Me too.

He wasn't a song writer, nor was he a great rhythm guitarist

They still play older greats one live, Under My Thumb, Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil....

And the coolest LOOKING guitarist.

The Stones are the Stones cause those three different time( better ones than other by different tastes..). I do love 69/70 to 74 ;)

Brian was his equal. period.

roquefortfiles ... With you. Mick Taylor was the best thing that ever happened to the Stones and it was the worst thing when he left.

bluesboy54321 mick Taylor was a great guitar player who had some bad ass riffs! With that being said, the stones were the stones with or without him, they didn’t need him. In my opinion they could have sufficed without Ronnie wood

Tout à fait d'accord Taylor Un génie

He's five years your senior -- born January 17, 1949.

Have a listen to Herbie Mann's London Underground Album. Mick Taylor and Albert Lee on guitars. This was the first time I heard Mick play.

Listen to the live version of love in vein w/ mick it's great guitar solo

The Stones were at their best when Mr. Nanker Phelge was aboard.

@@justbeamensch Nanker Phelge was the greatest!! What is he doing these days anyone know?

They were!

They could do no wrong with Mick Taylor. ButI still like the black lips with Brian the best.

Me too

Eric Unbekannt You need more exclamation marks!!!!

True. But that solo Mick rips out in the live "Sympathy For The Devil?" Oh good grief!

@@matthatter2849 Came here looking for this comment. Probably my favourite stones recording. In fact, the whole of "Get Yer Ya Yas Out of Here" is a masterpiece.

@@skateboarderlucc My favorite stones album.

@@matthatter2849 Keith did the solo for Sympathy

@@michaelchristopher3845 He does the first solo, then Taylor takes over. Each solo is mixed right and then left channel indicating where each stood on the stage. Taylor is the second solo in the left channel.

yes!

midnight rider you again..? Past their prime.? I disagree

@@charlessteenburgen: by the time m taylor left, the stones had lost their powers to create albums that reached the heights of let it bleed, sticky fingers or exile. All bands reach their peak, then they start a decline. We all do.

Drugs Taylor

The Stones weren't past their prime when Taylor join, they were in their prime.

@@midnightrider7648 . But black and blue, some girls, emotional rescue and tattoo you, those albums did well with Ronnie in the band especially with tattoo you, do you agree.

wow time waits for no one what a masterpiece! and the guitar...jus wow

Can't you hear me knocking is a masterpiece and still the Stones song I listen to the most. Mick Taylor's solo is sublime and still makes me shiver.

I guess he wasn't cut out for glitter rock 'n roll...as Jimmy Buffet would put it.

Sounds like a great night tbh 😂

Keef played the lead on that .

@@earlspearl2933 No, it was Taylor. Richard's couldn't believe how great it was after he played it...

@@earlspearl2933 ..........no. not in his wildest fantasy. he has stated with Brian & later Ron they switched back and forth taking turns on leads. ..but once they got Mick Taylor Keith concentrated mainly on rhythm. because Mick was legions better.

@@googoo-gjoob THANX GOO .I was already corrected on that . I had forgotten that Mick did that

Are you on drugs?

DrHogfan that solo from midnight rambler for the first lead guitar licks I was always trying to learn from now get your Yaya‘s out. After 50 years of playing oboe in 40 years of playing guitar sometimes I can play like it like Taylor. Saw him as guest at the Oracle in Oakland 2013 plying Midnight Rambler, The night after my piano playing dad passed away.

Actually Keith played the first part of that lead, then Taylor came in on the second part of symphony on ya ya's

Sympathy

Yeah Dr. Hogfan were two pease in a pod in that way, I'm probably the worst guitarist to ever pick one up. But after about forty or so years of trying I can't stop now.....hell I might get better someday. It is alot of fun regardless.

you mean Brian Jones

With Ronnie the Stones came out with Black and Blue, Some girls, Emotional rescue and Tattoo you, not bad at all in my humble opinion.

YES! Keef should have left that stupid weaving to the carpet-makers. As much as I love what KR has given us, his limitations as a true soloist PLUS his ego, have led him to “hiding” within the cocoon of blending with Ronnie. MT pushed him to the next level, but long-term, Keith couldn’t deal with being the 2nd guitarist in any shape or form.

Superb period but Aftermath remains their best album, Beggar's Banquet their second best followed by Bleed. Versatile but surly Brian Jones input was crucial to their success. The orchestration in the two albums I mention is incredible.

@@chasbodaniels1744 good point.

​@@wovfm All Stones periods were greats but on stage with Taylor they were at they peack.

He wasn't on let it bleed

@Boris Müller Best: of the most excellent, effective and desirable quality. Better than all the others. Musician: an instrumentalist who performs music as a profession. I hope that helps.

Agreed !

I prefer complementary to opposite

I love MT, but the greatest thing to happen to the Stones was Andrew Loog Oldham locking Mick and Keith in the kitchen demanding they come out with a song.

That's a bit over the top.

Keith says different things at different times. In his not so well written book he of course slags off everyone, including the great Mick Taylor.

Lothar Roberts : I agree... he’s not the most reliable witness!

Taylor said that Mick Jagger was very annoyed when he leave not Keith

What about black and blue, some girls, emotional rescue and tattoo you with Woody in those late 70's and early 80's albums? Just saying.

@@metallion0738 There are of course some great songs on a number of VG Rolling Stones LPs made after Taylor's departure. But note: Mick Taylor (though uncredited) plays on at least 2 tracks on Tattoo You. "Tops" & "Waiting on a Friend". Both songs from the Goats Head Soup sessions. Taylor later demanded & received added royalties. Ronnie Wood offers a sympathetic, note-perfect synchronicity to Keith's guitar playing that works very well. That's especially apparent in their live performances. I can't imagine many other guitar players reaching that higher level of musical understanding. But the band's overall creativity has never quite reached the peaks of the Taylor era. That Taylor brought something very different to the band's development is apparent from his contributions. I like Ronnie. But in fairness, I think much of his playing style is a bit too similar to Keith's. There again, Mick Taylor was one of the very best guitarists of any generation.

@@kanashiimurakamisan The band was also much younger with MT. Would think that's part of it. Would be interesting to know how he influenced the songs on the albums.

@@Abebe345 Indeed. I've often wondered how their music might have evolved if Mick Taylor hadn't left? Going by interviews, his influence wasn't slight. MT described one example. Around 1973, he & Mick Jagger experimented with a (then) new song, "Time Waits for No One". Taylor's lead guitar is quite outstanding. Just two of them in a room. Only later, Keith added his guitar. Song-writing credits went, as usual, to Jagger/Richards. MT cited other similar examples. All great bands continue evolving. The Rolling Stones no less. But Mick Taylor's influence seems very evident, as was Brian Jones's previously.

@@kanashiimurakamisan I think we disagree here a bit. Mick and Keith have stayed dedicated to the sound they developed in the sixties imo even when Brian was in the band. They had a definite approach which they have never strayed from which probably lead to creative tensions with Brian. MT doesn't strike me as not wanting to dominate and sometimes his playing wasn't getting the feel of the music and he was playing over Jaggers vocals and out of sync with the other instruments. However, often he found the feel and was adding some beautiful playing while syncing with the band. He was never going to be lead and Keith just rhythm because a lot of the potency comes from Keith and it needed to be worked. This is where I wish MT had decided to become a Stone, understand what they were trying to do, and add his prodigious talents to the craft, but it looks like it was too much compromise in MT's eyes and he may have thought he would do better in another group. Mick Taylor could learn a lot from Keith as well about feel, less is more, and a different style. I think if both dedicAted themselves to this kind of partnership the result could have developed into something sublime. But in the end, to me, MT stayed his own man and that direction didn't develop imo. Sorry long winded.

But didn't tattoo you sell well? I doubt it didn't.

@@metallion0738 I’m sure it did, love the single.

Brian Jones founded and made the Stones, Brian was also the heart and soul of the band, Taylor was a better guitarist.

I cant see Jageer into that scene.My perception was always that Taylor being so fucking good was stealing Jaggers limelight.Jagger tried to ditch the stones in the 80s.He wanted to be as big as michael jackson.But Jaggers idea of going solo was playing Stones songs without the Stones.We all know how well his solo career went.

From what i gather they offered mick taylor and bill wyman 2 songs to perform per concert=insult,they obviously both sanely said bog off

Yeah and wyman said no thanks. Mick said yes and played 3 songs :( I wish I could find the interview where Keith said he wanted Mick taylor to stay on as their 3rd guitar player.

@AMAUSA: Should have. Would have. Not "of."

Ajax7925 maybe the most profitable but I was a Stones fan from Tell Me in 1964 and when Brian left I no longer liked them as much. I don’t care for Angie and wild horses and stuff like that. Beggars Banquet was my last favorite album by them. They just didn’t seem like the Stones anymore after Brian. I liked a song here and there but it was different.

I think in 1969 Mick was 20 years old!

Yes. 20 and a half for his first gig with the Stones​@@elisabethschwartz160

He's still only 75

Heaven and hell about the Stones years

what a joke....the lying fame seeking evil glimmer twins stole Brians material that they pretended they didnt like after he was murdered and than made it their own...dont believe a word that comes out of their lying mouths...than they did the same to Taylor treated him crappy

@@aryalogo6624 Rubbish

@@buster9168 no its not rubbish

@@aryalogo6624 Yeah it is. Brian could not write a song to save his life. He had nothing to steal. He put a lot into the music with all the things he could play but that was it. Without the songs from Jagger Richard's they would have remained a blues cover band and never lasted.

Frustrated, yes. Difficult, maybe. Too talented for them I think....

😊

Difficult as in genius? Like Bob Dylan who is also called difficult? Maybe he just doesnt like to be fake? Maybe he didnt want to die like Brian? Difficult are those who steal the spotlight and all the royalties. Atleast MT has a happy quiet life now with one woman and doesnt have say 9 kids with a bunch of diff women? Let him be

I don't see him as difficult, sounds like dealing with Keith Richards and all the drugs and turmoil around the band was difficult for Taylor to deal with. The band has not been as good since he left.

The Triumph of the Thrill : He was not difficult, to talented, to decent, and to damn good looking yes , he was way beyond the drama.

I wonder how many of the hits attributed to the greats have really been penned by them? They usually have some bullshit story about how they came up with the song -- like Paul McCartney and Paperback Writer: me aunt said why do you always write love songs can't you write other ones? -- but given the financial disparity between the big names and non-entities it makes sense that the latter would sell their wares and keep their mouths shut.

@@aoeulhs As someone who works in the film business, when it comes to artists and money, they can get quite insecure and protective about their interests and do shady things, which of course makes it easy for the sharks and vultures to come in and exploit that.

Same with Brian Jones who deserved credit on several great Stones songs. That's one thing I find difficult to overlook... their greed and dishonesty plus lack of respect for bandmates. Mick Taylor was amazing and one of the greatest guitarists ever!

Liar

This doesn't make sense. You think Mick Taylor wrote a song, brought it to the Stones, they used it, AND took songwriting credit for it?

Wow! Wish I’d seen that. (Little Feat)

@@alanhowell3646 It was at the Rainbow Theater in London, which contributed songs for the live album "Waiting for Colombus." They told the audience the concert was being recorded for an album. Pretty exciting.

@@davidcawrowl3865 wonderful. It’s a great album. I was at a Tom Waits gig in Edinburgh when they did the same.

Little Feat....now there's a great band

rtrrzeid If you can’t play those guitar leads, how could you possibly compose them? Yet every bloody Stones number was credited to Jagger and Richards. After Taylor the great band became a hyped up circus. It’s there for everyone to see, no need of special knowledge.
