RE: Mick Taylor== I have to vent

I enjoyed your post Shattered. And I know how you feel. Jimmy Fallon considers Mick Taylor only the 4th best guitar player of all time though.

Bob Dylan has raved about him. Keith has called him a virtuoso.

Those two guys are experts on the subject I would think.

I only know what I hear. He is incredibly fluid, melodic, and exciting to hear make music. And I agree he adlibs as well as anyone ever has. I consider his solos on those '72 and '73 live versions of Love In Vain to be very special. Not one is exactly the same and all are supremely artistic. He helped make Midnight Rambler easily the best song of the latest Stones tours. Jagger, to his credit, was superb on those versions as well.

Any live version of 'Bitch' since his departure from The Stones has paled by comparison without his relentless, perfectly timed rhythm guitar playing. The horn section has dominated any version of the song since that time. He has always worked hard as a guitar player while playing live as a Stone or as a guest. While others play in small bursts and take frequent breaks, he is almost constantly playing his instrument adding some nuance if not something downright dynamic and spine tingling.

The Rolling Stones are all about being a business now. Mick Jagger is the CEO. Business is good. Tickets are selling. No need to cut a check for an employee who is not needed to sell tickets. No need to make the product as good as it can be. The product is selling just fine.
