10 Reasons Why Keith Richards wanted Ronnie Wood to Replace Mick Taylor

[@thedude4672]

With all due respect to the great Ronnie Wood, the Mick Taylor years were the Stones' best.

@@ClassicRockFilms With all due respect to the great Ronnie Wood, I don't think he added anything new that Mick Taylor didn't. Mick Taylor was writing some great songs with Jagger but wasn't getting the credit for it and that was one of the reasons he left. The other reason he left was that he was aware that he was getting hooked on heroin and didn't want anything to hurt his family. Mick Jagger didn't want Taylor to quit and was pissed off when he did. Kieth Richards didn't want Taylor to quit either because he enjoyed Taylor's playing and their combination was set.... Kind regards ... John ....

No.

[@germanllanosmusic]

I like Ronnie but he is not match to Mick Taylor. Not even close. The reason Keith prefers Ronnie instead of Mick in the stones is because Taylor overshadows him. Listen Times wait for no one, dead flowers... you don’t even know Keith is there.

Mick Taylor yrs were the best - The Stones all in their prime -1969 - Jagger /Richards 25 - 26 yrs old _ Taylor 21 - So it was a good period - for some strange reason if Taylor had not left the band might have run out of steam - life is strange sometimes - I now mostly listen to the Brian Jones era - I just love that sound

I like Wood but I think The Stones made their best music with Taylor.

[@lucasweisman3046]

Not even a question about it. Wood is an awesome player and he seems like a fun dude, but the period when Taylor was in the band was when the Stones were writing and recording their best stuff. I sort of get the sense that Taylor thought he was too good for the Stones, and I’m curious what Let it Bleed, Exile On Main St, and Goat Head Soup would have been like with Ronnie on guitar. The stuff Ronnie’s playing on the Faces records was clearly up to snuff, and Im sure he could have sounded fantastic on those records as well. I know Brian started the band, but I personally find his playing the least interesting of all three players.

[@stevenedwards4470]

[@green323turbo]

Just the authors opinion at 1:50 . Musically MIck Taylor was more in sync with the band that any other guitarist

[@ClassicRockFilms]

mmm - when I mean in sync - I obviously mean personality wise - Mick Taylor was lifeless on stage and never looked at any of the band members on stage = a bit like Bill Wyman = thinking about it - frozen salt pillar - Ronnie also brought best out in Keith with his stage performance - brought energy to give Mick J some support

[@green323turbo]

@@ClassicRockFilms , Actually Mick Taylor brought out the best playing from Keith. Listen to Keiths playing on 1973 Brussels or 1969 Get your YaYa's . ... then compare that to the mess that the 1978 Texas live is. On Get your YaYa's with Mick Taylor , Keith has his best playing ever on Sympathy for the devil . With Mick Taylor the band was tight and professional. With Ronnie its sloppy and the guitar is very basic. Sure Ronnie can party better than Mick Taylor.. but is that what you mean by better ?

Mick Taylor told me to this day his only regret in leaving the stones was,if he had stayed he could of played a pirate along side Keith in the" Pirates of the carribeian:at world's end" movie

[@jgdforesthills1]

I watches The Stones line at the LA Forum 1975. The songs were not done as well. Mick Taylor with Keith Richards created a much better sound than with Ronnie Wood. To me, the quality of their playing diminished. If you want to hear the Stones at their best, listen to Get Yer Ya has Out from 1969 , Ladies and Gentlemen from 1972 or Brussels Affair 1973. Ronnie Wood was much better when he was with the Faces. I don’t really get this ancient form of weaving. It sounds like Keith and Ronnie are playing the same riffs and there is no distinction between lead and rhythm. Mick Taylor was a master at lead solos but also played great rhythm guitar. Keith really wanted Taylor to stay in the band but he didn’t reach out to Mick Taylor to tell him. I think Taylor would have gone back if he knew that Jagger and Richards really appreciated him but I guess Taylor was fed up and wanted a change

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Very good observation - agreed - Taylor was 5 yr younger than the rest and became restless - I love Ronnie but I do agree that since Taylors departure the group have never sounded the same again - I personally think Some Girls is over rated - and ancient form of weaving??? sounds like hogwash - Taylor and Keith were a genius combination

[@gabevachon326]

Taylor was disgusted at being cut out of songwriting credits and royalties. No one ever accused the Stones of being nice guys.

[@lfader]

@@ClassicRockFilms Agree 👍

[@Mark27472]

Yeah the "Ancient art of weaving" mantra is pure garbage quite honestly. Both Keith and Ronnie like to infer there was this massive wall of separation between lead and rhythm when Taylor was in the band - it's easily disproved by watching any live footage. Taylor plays the rhythm on Bitch, Live with Me, Hip Shake, and every Chuck Berry song for starters. Keith took plenty of solos (and his playing was 100 times better then), and especially on Midnight Rambler they switch constantly. It's orders of magnitude above anything they've done since. The image might have really mattered in 1975, but the reality is as time passes what's more important is how the music stands up. Wood's playing just doesn't. The internet and KZbin have introduced Mick Taylor to a lot of new fans and people aren't buying the party line anymore.

Ronnie is not the classic virtuoso that Mick Taylor was, but he gives the group a fuller sound and more energy. Ronnie can play all the guitar parts in all Stones' songs: all of Brian's, all Keith's, and he does a pretty good job on Mick Taylor's. "Some Girls" would never have happened with Taylor. Most importantly, although quite an artist, Ronnie will do whatever Keith says. Ron Wood has had problems. But we have mutual friends, and they all say, "He is the nicest man."

[@ClassicRockFilms]

For sure - Some Girls was in time with what was happening in 76 / 77 - The Stones kicked off their US tour in 75 and nobody even noticed that Taylor has been replaced with Ronnie - it was like he had always been there - it was only in the early 90s that fans started noticing what Taylor had brought to the band - and that the Stones had peaked in 73 as a band and had become a brand thereafter

And Perkins and Taylor I believe only appear on one song. Taylor had to sue to get paid.
