Whether they got along personally or not, the magic that happened with the pairing of Mick Taylor and Keith Richards was epic. It is more common than one may think that two people make great music together but have personalities that don’t mesh.
Taylor’s arrival was cause of Jagger and departure cause of Keith. I appreciate Keith but can’t forgive that. Jagger try to convince Taylor to stay but it was all over. Just my interpretation, i wasn’t there :)
You forgot to mention that Mick Taylor was the lead guitar player on the Stones' very best LP called "Sticky Fingers". The Rolling Stones high water mark definitely coincided with Mick Taylor. The Taylor discography includes portions of "Let It Bleed" and all of the following LPs - "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!", "Sticky Fingers", "Exile on Main Street", "Goat's Head Soup" and "It's Only Rock n Roll".
Not only did Taylor not receive credit for those two songs on It's Only Rock n Roll, but for Sway and Moonlight Mile on Sticky Fingers and a Winter and others.
Absolutely...and Sunnyland Slim and sessions with Gong and Keef Hartley and Tucky Buzzard and his reunion tour with Mayall/Bluesbreakers and sitting in with Little Feat and several others.
I have a good hunch that Mick Taylor contributed much, much more that he wasn't being credited for It happened to Brian Jones as well Jones picked the perfect, and often exotic, instrument to make hits; Lady Jane (dulcimer), Paint it Back ( sitar) and Ruby Tuesday (flute) No song credits Somehow Jagger Richards wrote it all
It's one thing to be a brilliant lead guitarist, it's another to be a brilliant lead guitarist inside The Stones. It was their greatest era, but he left, his choice.
With the exception of "Some Girls", they ceased to be a creative force and became a touring force. They've thrived off their reputation ever since. It's good work if you can get it, I guess.
Taylor was by far the best guitar player ever to be in the rolling stones. As opposed to the best ever to play with the stones, which would be Ry Cooder.
With the extra money they got from screwing him out of songwriting credits, they put granite countertops in their 7th cottage while losing the best guitarist they ever had.
The Mick Taylor Bio apparently is ready to go and be released once Mick and Keith pass. I suspect we will learn plenty about the Stones and how the twins operate
Dude you never even mentioned Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed or Exile on Main St. He also played on Dylan's Infidels in 1983, among others. It was stellar contribution and a return to form for Dylan and arguably Dylan's best album of that decade
Yep, - Mick... BUT what about DICK Taylor, the very first Stones guitarist? Because he was there with Keef. I played a bit with DICK in the cloakroom at Sidcup Art School. He was a GREAT blues player, and a lovely feller, and later he was with the Pretty Things. Thanks Dick if you ever read this, your great clawhammer blues fingerpicking has stood me in good stead for over half a century. Ta mate.
Jagger and Richards fkkd him over for song writing credits and royalties..no wonder he got pissed off .. pair of snakes ....they did the same too brian Jones ..he worked out all the music and final arrangements .. added and played all the various exotic instrumentation and got no credit for it ..
Taylor is a great guitar player; a virtuoso. Richards is a savant who has developed independently and found his own way of doing everything, including being a great songwriter. There just wasn't room enough in one band for both of them. Taylor wouldn't put up with being cheated out of royalties, either. He was disrespected, so he left. He had a pretty good career after he left the Stones actually.Ron Wood and everybody has put up with a lot of shit from Keith. He gets away with it because he's among the most creative of rock artists....
You miss the point.He was never trying to better himself in terms of front man star quality, he was into the playing for its own sake and has improved all the time right up to the present moment.
It's because Keith is a SNOB. He's been the privileged upper class for ages and he isn't educated like Mick. He's still a badd ass guitarist though but it's like when you're young and you meet your hero and find out he's nothing like you thought.
He didn't like J&R stole his copy right. He gave them that inferiority complex like Jones did. ( Their) 😂 best track no official release Hillside Blues. He should never have got involved with them.
This is a bit.. er... awkward for me to say as a man, but you omitted something glaringly obvious... he was a very pretty adornment to the Stones, visually! Mick Jagger has said that. I think most commentators on Mick Taylor say it.
"...Mick Taylor would play very fluid lines against my vocals. He was exciting, and he was very pretty, and it gave me something to follow..". Mick Jagger. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Taylor
Whatˋ s the fuss about Taylor? When he was employed by this band, the Rolling Stones were seen as a unit. Taylor was not only inconspicuous, he was a complete unknown.
Taylor has no excuse crying poor. He had a job that would have made him set for life but he drugged it away. Plus spreading himself too thin on side projects. Now he’s a crybaby.
@@charlessteenburgen Given his level of talent $300 grand is chump change and embarrassing. He was stubborn and it robbed him out of a very wealthy life. Of course there are two sides of a coin. The average man $300 Grand would be awesome. I have asset’s above that, but not in cash. Thanks for your take on this topic. Best Regards.
Mick Taylor so young joining the stones and o’h man he brought it✌️❤️
The Stones created some of their best work during the Mick Taylor era.
Even Keith would begrudgingly agree.
🇬🇧 🎸 🇬🇧 🎸 🇬🇧
But that had nothing to do with Taylor.
His weaving of the guitar around Keith Richard’s rhythm was legendary

Keef even admitted Mick Taylor was the best guitarist the Stones ever had at one point!
@@rdrrr
Keith said that very late after, when Taylor reputation grow up and been recognized.
On the Stones masterpiece "Time Waits for No One", that's Mick Taylor's baby all the way. The way he rides it out.......pure genius in those fingers!
💎🎸Humble Genius🎸💎 Absolutely 💎 Mick Taylor

Exile, GHS and Sticky fingers plus their live performances with him are their best music in my opinion
The best Stones albums all included Mick Taylor.
SPOT ON he eventually needed a challenge and joined the jack bruce band ! as far as keith richard is concerned GROTESQUELY OVER RATED.
Except Beggar’s Banquet.
@@lordofthemound3890Let it Bleed he was on just 2 songs as well.
Great guitarist
Not only did Taylor not receive credit for those two songs on It's Only Rock n Roll, but for Sway and Moonlight Mile on Sticky Fingers and a Winter and others.
Taught simultaneously by his mother’s younger brother and his uncle, it’s no wonder he’s so good.
I became a fan when MT joined the Stones, been a fan ever since. Loving the Ronnie Stones too.
I have the cassette of Stranger in this Town, and I saw Mick in his 1991 tour... such an amazing talent!!
And what about Taylor's collaboration with Bob Dylan? They got along very well. :)
Absolutely...and Sunnyland Slim and sessions with Gong and Keef Hartley and Tucky Buzzard and his reunion tour with Mayall/Bluesbreakers and sitting in with Little Feat and several others.
As far as I remember Dylan said Taylor didn't know when to stop and finish his noodling.
“Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?”
🌟🌟🌟 Mick Taylor
Taylor one of the best.

No song credits
Somehow Jagger Richards wrote it all
They screwed Bill Wyman out of credit for Jumpin' Jack too. I think Bill was bitter about it but kept it to himself.
Always had the rollingstones fever
It's one thing to be a brilliant lead guitarist, it's another to be a brilliant lead guitarist inside The Stones. It was their greatest era, but he left, his choice.
Drugs and his family
After Taylor the Stones are not Rolling anymore, I say

The stones haven't been the same since
Ron Wood fit the band,but sadly,they're heyday was during the Mick Taylor years,imho.
No suprise, Keth was excellent but taylor was superb. simply professional jealousy, Taylor was better at the craft.
Who does get along with Richards?
mick taylor wasnt ugly enough to be in the stones...lol
Taylor es el mejor guitarrista que tuvieron las satanicas majestades, fin de la discusion saludos desde ecstepec ,mexico

I believe he's living here on the Isle of Wight now.
This guy is Berrekah?
Taylor doesn't get along Richards so much that he played on his first solo record "Talk is Cheap". Your title doesn't make sence.
You need teaching, re spelling, 'sense' et al. 0/10.

Jeebus, you just read his Wikipedia page. Real exclusive info.
Common knowledge Bots. Paraphrase at least.
Your need to know more of what the facts are!
A great guitarist but didn’t have that front man star quality. He thought he could do better for himself, he never did.
You miss the point.He was never trying to better himself in terms of front man star quality, he was into the playing for its own sake and has improved all the time right up to the present moment.
He was pissed at not getting a song writing credit for time waits and till the next goodbye ...
(and 2 songs on Exile as well).
imagine trying to work with a junkie.
So junkie working with another junkie
You are forgiven.
Mick Taylor was also doing heroin, he was still doing it well into the 80s
Sound of Kawasaki Vulcan 900

@@lenoregorman4688 Great story! Thanks for helping me out here!
Mick Jagger might have meant musically pretty, since he says, " it gave me something to follow".
I love how these brian jones freaks claim that the stones died after his death.lol their still going.
Whatˋ s the fuss about Taylor? When he was employed by this band, the Rolling Stones were seen as a unit. Taylor was not only inconspicuous, he was a complete unknown.
Most would disagree. Have you even listened to their work between 69 and 74, especially their live cuts? Simply divine.
THE FUSS IS .THEY MADE THEIR BEST MUSIC WITH MICK TAYLOR
He played with John Mayall and was well known. idiot.
Still not as good as Brian Jones......
Taylor has no excuse crying poor.
He had a job that would have made him set for life but he drugged it away.

We all make decisions when we are young that we might regret later. But MT doesn't regret being alive.
Most people are not held to a bad decision made when they were 24 years old for the next 50 years.
@@katejones9046 No, just Mick Taylor because after 50 years he’s still whimpering about his bad decisions.
So get over it already.
