1998 : Mick Taylor Biography TV

[@JBags72]

The Mick Taylor years are by far the Stones’ greatest! His guitar playing set them off in an entirely new direction. 🤘🏻Mick Fckin’ Taylor🤘🏻

[@nedbeatysquealed69]

Taylor on his time with The Stones: "They peaked then." Truer words have not been spoken.

[@nicknac1980]

They were soo lucky to have Mick Taylor fall In there lap... Geunuss.....

[@kencabeen7786]

Of course he would say that. They were great before during and after Mick Taylor.

[@waynefay8210]

the Stones were great after Mick Taylor? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Taylors exit marked the end of the stones most musically authentic period. Sure, they were good before he joined, Brian Jones helped there… but after Taylor left, it was downhill all the way name 10 classic Stones tracks after Taylor left!! hot stuff? not bad but no midnight rambler or tumbling dice etc miss you? a bit dopey, sh*t chorus beast of burden was okay respectable? whatever shattered? dull emotional rescue? urgh!! she’s so cold? dull as!! nuh Mick Taylor help them get to to their musical peak, and when he felt it wasn’t gonna get any better, he bailed!! perfect timing

[@LeonTrotsky6782]

@@waynefay8210I loved the Mick Taylor & Jimmy Miller (producer) years. They made such a great & wonderful contribution to the Stones music & mythology. Best times for me. But, 2023, just released a new album & millions of fans worldwide are seeking it out.

[@jonjrgensen2390]

@@waynefay8210Of course they were great after Mick Taylor left and they still are. I could definitely name 10 songs but you’ll dismiss them anyway. They definitely did more after MT left than he did. And he isn’t even on Rambler anyway - Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed are almost only Keith, and they put out their weakest album with MT at the end of his stint so they had had their peak run of albums even before he left.

[@rc3443]

Mick Taylor is Mozart of our time, he makes any song sound good

[@RATCLIFFE-LISTENS]

At the time “ Beggars Banquet” Stinky Fingers” “ Exile on Main Street” elevated the Stones Musicianship into Heaven! Mick played on my favorite Mayall Lp “ Bare Wires”. Today in his 70’s Mick plays even better! He’s a modest man and deserves all the accolades of one of the Very Best!

[@adambana5857]

Clapton shmapton!!! Mick Taylors work with John mayalls blues breakers was beyond compare! He was just a kid man! With the emotion of a seasoned blues player! I was seriously taken aback with Micks piano playing in this documentary! Like contemporary classical blues type stuff! Really hauntingly beautiful blues! Mick is One hell of an underrated musician! Considering his short time with the stones, it was some of the best music the stones did in my mind.

[@davidmellish3295]

Here we go again,someone thinks it's cool to say.....so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and talented musician, in this case Mick Taylor) is underrated. NOBODY'S ever called Mick Taylor underrated ,just go to any stones song and read the comments, all they say is how Mick's the greatest, stones weren't the same without him. He's got millions of fans,saying someone is overrated has got to be the most overused saying ever.

[@Hiraeth796]

@@davidmellish3295 I'm glad somebody said it! There is loads of respect out there for this guy! I have never heard him being dissed by anyone he has worked with!

[@TheDonzim]

A true artist who puts creativity and his works over stardom . MT is a humble man and when he speaks he is just a man that plays guitar and happened to be in a famous band.

[@joshcardin2783]

Mick Taylor is Remarkable !!!

[@Fshrimpner]

Bought Mick’s first solo record when it came out. It was good but I wanted more of what was shown on this vid. He has continued to mature as a vocalist for sure. His talent is undeniable. Wish the Stones had given him song writing credits, as the Doors did as a band. He surely deserved them. Love that he stayed true to his musical path. I’m still trying to cop his riffs but unfortunately, I’m not very talented. Man, the players who went through Mayall’s band were the best of the best. Great doc. His tone just makes me happy. He loves what he does! God bless you Mick and thanks for the music. 😊

[@kimhickman6554]

So happy to have found this treasure. Great interview!

[@DougAdamWired]

TAYLOR WAS THE BEST SMOKIN' GUITARIST THEY EVER HAD. PURE INCREDIBLE KILLER TALENT. JAGGER EVEN SAID HE SANG HIS BEST WHEN TAYLOR WAS PLAYING THE PROBLEM WAS TAYLOR OUT-SHINED KEITH & WAS THE BACK-BONE ON MANY MANY OF THEIR BEST TUNES AND THAT WAS THE INTERNAL PROBLEM THAT DROVE TAYLOR TO JUST QUIT HE HAD HAD......ENOUGH

[@user-pk1yh1wf2p]

a brilliant guitarist indeed

[@taildragger53]

The only Stones albums I have all have Mick Taylor on them...He WAS the reason I listened to them. His solos were real jazzy & always the most imaginative, far more so than actually required. I think he was over qualified for the band, same with Charlie Watts. Ron Wood dumbed them down again..LOL ..but I do love Ron's personality & paintings.

[@gerardmahalak3334]

I love the intro. Mic Taylor strutting in to slide blues. He is so bad azz. He made the stones great.

[@Morongobill]

With all the Mick Taylor interest on YT, I am amazed at the low number of views for this fine film. Perhaps people think it is French language only?

[@jeffreymorris11]

The Rolling Stones without Mick Taylor, is like a Ferrari with a 500cc engine. Taylor is true to R&B!

[@chasr1843]

First, and he is the greatest :)

[@felineth56]

I didn't know that he was also a good singer and performer!

[@ChrisByrne-dr4gu]

He's one of the best Ever

[@judithhenderson426]

I met Mick in Caspar California, I believe it was 1998, he was a scamp kidding me about my English accent..."really?" Seriously, the Mick Taylor we listen to in 2023, is a compilation of progressions from years at his craft, its both genuine and generous. JH

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

I think the biographers agreed that his wife said it’s either heroin or me which meant he had to leave the Stones. And he wanted to stretch out more as a solo artist. Anyway, he was/is fabulous.

[@Dragon_rls]

What a voice. Mick voice is the definition of a "hidden treasure". His playing ain't bad either.👍

[@Colin-hp1li]

I'm so happy he'S BACK. HE SINGS. Llke mayall

[@kurtdavidson9808]

It’s crazy how much he sounds like Clapton at time. I understand he is not trying to sound like Eric but it just comes out at times. I think Mick Taylor is one of the most under rated players of our time. He has playing that same sun burst Gibson for a long time. It sounds so good…

[@scottrgood]

Clapton, Green, and Taylor: John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Perfect. No band has had such perfect guitar players in a row like that.

[@paulgarrett384]

He could cut Clapton.

[@bernardliu8526]

Mick was much more melodic.

[@philjones6054]

And don't forget Walter Trout.

[@pawelpap9]

MT doesn’t sound anything like EC. I love both of them but EC is more versatile.

[@petermills542]

Brilliant guitarist always. One of the greatest! But what he did with the rest of his career is very frustrating. The 'growth as a musician' he speaks of is not evident in his very limited solo work at all. Long as he's happy though!! 😊❤

[@southernmarsh4234]

Amazing bluesman

[@terencehennegan1439]

The stones really took off when this guy joined, he added a charisma that was lacking at that time, he turned the group back on. Personally I don’t think they’ve been the same since.

[@flyingburritobro68]

They were on the decline before Taylor left- too many druggies at that time. Taylor was addicted to heroin along with Richards, Keys, and their engineer Johns. The Stones came back big in 78 with Dome Girls though

[@Fshrimpner]

By the way. Listen to the Sones in Belgium ‘72 I think. They smoked that set! Got it as a bootleg but I think it’s out there as an RS release. One of the best sets ever, a fav of mine. 👍🏻

[@vancegodin4149]

super mick is the man. hearing mayal and bloomfield in various vocals... nice .

[@user-gr1rl7rk9k]

Saw MT in San Francisco and he did a short version of EAST WEST by Butterfield blues band and Mick Taylor brought the house down.

[@emanuelemazzotti1490]

D'you remember when in Sticky and It's Only R n R Taylor's Guitar flew High❓️❗️❓️❓️❤

[@johnscialfa7391]

Great stuff

[@pawelpap9]

Truth be told, MT joined The Rolling Stones at the perfect moment, which is when they stopped being The Beatles wannabes and became something entirely different, a blues touring band with a frontman and a lead guitarist capable of playing extended solos. In a sense they finally became what they always professed to be, a blues band playing great original tunes. MT was the missing element.

[@MarkLysaght]

He has a lovely lyrical style on the guitar which always makes him stand out. Vocally average but it makes you wonder why he never got to sing with The Stones, he's at least as good as Keith! Ultimately Mick is a sideman not a front man.

[@markgibson4658]

I saw him 5 times in the 80’s. His set list never changed. always you gotta move, I wonder why, exactly like this video! Got so bored hearing the same 5 songs over and over again.

[@josephiannarino6784]

The contrast of style between Keith and Mick really clicked . Love Ron Wood too but always felt he had such a close sound to Keith. Appreciate both but feel Mick added more depth.

Taylor knew what's the blues was supposed to sound like. And after Brian died the stones got away from that Maybe Taylor was trying to pull him back into that. Maybe that's what their arguments were about. Mick Taylor so much better musician and Keith
