Mick Taylor on his time with John Mayall

[@seadog2396]

Yes, a truly underrated guitar player. I reckon Mick Taylor could fit into the top 10 of all time. Jesus, just listen to his stuff...

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

His style is so authentic and fluid, a true talent.

[@chuckwagon5518]

Mick Taylor elevated the Stones music with his outstanding lead guitar and slide work!

[@kpax45]

An excellent underrated guitar player, and best guitar player Rolling Sones ever had

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

An underrated guitarist gets a job with the Rolling Stones? Get real.

[@peliche77]

kpax45 totally agree. When people name the best guitarists in history nobody remembers Mick Taylor, and I think he has been one of the greatest of all time.

[@robinluck2922]

I wouldn't go that far. Who knows what Brian would have done if......you know his last contribution to the Stones was the song Honky Tonk Woman. And Ronnie Woods playing is totally spot on.

[@johnwilson1997]

@@MarttiSuomivuori He's had years to be forgotten since Marti. I agree with kpax45 it was the best Stones period.

[@leegilmour8090]

@@robinluck2922 well your right nobody knows what Brian Jones was going to be like so you can't go on what ifs unless your some sort of daydreamer fantasist, practically everyone knows the Mick Taylor years 69 to 74 were the stones best years, and Ronnie Wood is nowhere near Mick Taylor, go on KZbin and look at the stones live performances on cant you hear me knocking with Ronnie wood, and then look at Mick Taylors live at Glastonbury, Levels apart.

[@seadog2396]

Also, Mick is a virtuoso at blending jazz and blues into a very sophisticated brew.

[@spacepatrolman]

that's why he quit the Stones to play with Jack Bruce

[@johngore7744]

Yeah listen to him in Can’t you hear me Knocking. After Mick Jaggers first vocals the whole song is Taylor and Charlie and of course Bobby Keys on sax.

[@Guedingen]

Many thanks. Taylor was the inspired choice, just as Wood was a disaster. Says much about where Jagger and Richards were in both stages of the Stones' development.

[@martinmoffitt4702]

one of the BEST ever!

[@kevinconville9258]

Mick Taylor and Peter Green. Two of the greats and two of my favorites.

[@EnglishVeteran]

I was at the Gig in Welwyn Garden City!

[@stonesdude154]

He did follow great great guitarists not just with John Mayall but with the Stones as well.

[@markkelly3859]

Worth a listen for Mick or Mayall fans.

[@roseblake5803]

The best musician and best looking Stone.

[@arthurlyons8498]

Mick Taylor was the Stones best guitarist ever. Much better than Richards who wasvery envious of Mick.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

@@arthurlyons8498 they have styles so polar opposite that to compare them is weird…Keef doesn’t practice, the man is doing G-do’s work

[@kevinconville9258]

😀 Yeah, way too handsome for the Rolling Stones! Probably the best musician the Stones ever had as well.

[@JD-vv7tq]

As I have noticed from so many people commenting about Mick Taylor, the gent is underrated. He plays so well !

[@MrGaditana]

I love Mick Taylor as a Musician

[@talbotsplace7316]

Huh? What about "Blue from Laurel Canyon," probably the coolest album Mayall ever did! I liked what Mich T. said about Mayall's song writing ability. You could drop an armful of dishes and that guy would have a song, a good one, before you picked it all up!

[@ronnyvonallmen6892]

John Mayall’s “Blues from Laurel Canyon”..w/Mick Taylor is One of the Greatest Albums Ever....

[@abaddonbolero9605]

So true- everybody that passed thru that band....usually won fame. He came right on the heels of Peter Green, when I forst saw him w/Mayall. UNREAL. '66? '67?

[@mariogrechi1840]

Not to the level of Barewires....

[@ronnyvonallmen6892]

@@mariogrechi1840 You could be correct…”Bare Wires” is a Very Underrated “Masterpiece”….

[@thenicklas615]

Mick is a truly amazing guitar player, wow, just listen to his work with the Rolling Stones.

[@astragreen]

Mayal's song writing skills were something to behold that's for sure, "went to the supermarket one Time to see my baby to tell her get some grapes, went down ect ect

great post...thank you

[@SB-iz8sz]

Handsome fellow Mick Taylor❤

[@classicartfoundation639]

One of my favourite players, on the skag big time here though

[@Oymmit]

With mic taylor the stones were up there with zepplin, ssbath and floyed in my disturbed mind. Without him not so much. Must be common denominator for guitar addicts.

[@Staylogical]

It's funny to hear Mayall say he chose Taylor because he had a jazzy background.What kind of a background can anyone have at 17 years old?Any musician who has a background that young must be pretty special.

[@talbotsplace7316]

Decent commentary but it left out what I consider Mayall's most important album with Mick Taylor, which was "Blues from Laurel Canyon." I loved what Taylor said about Mayall's song writing ability - I've always felt John Mayall could hear a stack of dishes fall and break, and would have a song before the sound faded away.

[@promerops]

Very good.Just a pity that those interviewed aren't identified. I think that Paul Jones is one of them.

[@tomlayman3141]

What's the name of that song playing at 2:40? Please.

[@abaddonbolero9605]

Love the part where he's customizing axes for Norm's!! HOW COOL is THAT???????????????? I WANT ONE!!!

[@pabloperez4063]

what amp is using John At home...?

[@vickimingus9281]

he's so pretty

[@mariogrechi1840]

Almost feminine.... 😋

[@roybennett6330]

I looked at his networth$..$800,000,come on mick and keef, surely some back pay is owed....just saying

[@Leo-uc8zv]

Because mick didn’t sell his soul like Clapton zeppelin stones etc house hold names

[@Mac-jx8uj]

Don't say that , they just might have him sorted . He wouldn't be the first stone they fixed up.

[@brianwells4507]

Whoa wait what?? John Mayall was charging his band lineup and let Mick Taylor go? That's even crazier than Taylor deciding to leave the Rolling Stone's !!😮

[@robertlynn4709]

Bare Wires, I never bought another Mayall album.

[@victormorgado5318]

THe period f of mick taylor with the stones is what made the Stones so succesful through the 70s. By the time he left the Stones, Ronnie Wood just had to enter and flow with the Rolling Stones persona, because their sound was already plasted in hstory

[@Alanoffer]

Keith Richards was pissed when he left the stones .

[@spacepatrolman]

he said he was such a fucking lead guitar player he is more into dope addicts than lead guitar players then Keith gets arrested with enough heroin to go to prison for the rest of his life but the Stones did benefit concerts for charity and he got out of trouble

[@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe]

​@spacepatrolman Who said this run on sentence again?

[@chrisefthymiou8826]

ONE OF BRITAINS FINEST BLUES, ROCK JAZZ GUITARISTS. DID HIS APPRENTISHIP WITH JOHN MAYALL AND HIS INTO IN2 THE STONES SAW THEM ENTER THEIR FINEST PERIOD WITH HIS GUITAR PLAYING GIVING 6HEM AN EDGE AND BEING DUBBED THE GREATEST ROCK N' ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD. HIS EXIT BROUGHT IN RONNIE WOOD A GREAT TALENT IN HIS OWN WRITE BUT WITH RESPECT THE TAYLOR YEARS SAW THEM ORODUCE THEIR GREATEST WORK.

[@Mac-jx8uj]

Ronnie was a great talent with Jeff Beck trio and the faces but with the stone's Keith's bitch !

[@MsRavens13]

slide guitar.? Duane Allman. ....no question. ..

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

He should never have left…what’s the problem with the Stones giving him so credit?
