On the road with Mick Taylor (Part 1)

[@michaelp3138]

mick will always be my favorite guitarist - a beautiful player and his sincere humility is refreshing

[@dave-si1vq]

Best guitarist ever 🎸🎶sympathy for the devil..sway.. gimme shelter.. jiving sister fanny.. dead flowers etc. Plus all his blues stuff. Simply the best

[@terrybull5523]

I met mick through Kevin Geories,his road manager in the late 80s He taught me how to pla y Dylan songs at his pad in the village.His time with the stones produced the greatest rock music ever written!!! Thanx Mick for everything!!!

[@Methilde]

Written by Mick and Keith, clearly not easy guys to live with, Taylor was the perfect guitarist for them and he don't gives greats things after he left, too bad.

[@joolz2323]

The reason the Stones make so much money now is because of business deals/sponsorship. Their most creative and fantastic period was when Mick Taylor was in the band. Although I love Keef, I have to admit, Mick Taylor is the greatest guitarist in the world.

[@pauldinardo973]

I agree. He's the reason the stones had that incredible Era. Exile on Main Street goats head soup and c a few others. No doubt he was an addition to the band that really boosted their music. Unfortunately he realized being in the stones was a health hazard and called it quits. A big loss. Never be the same. Brian Jones was a great player too. But wow what a sound he gave the stones

[@ianbartrum842]

What a cool and down to earth dude, not to mention his brilliace as a musician.

[@edmundedmondedmontonedmunb7071]

Happy birthday Mick Taylor!

[@lewstone5430]

Mick added the talent to the Stones that nudged them into greatness for a consistent period of time. Your Stones albums are the *best* Stones albums Mick!

[@larrygag88]

When Mick first replaced Peter Green in the Blues Breakers, his playing was fresh and outstanding. Listen to the Crusade album. Saw that band at the Cafe a Go Go in the village. Very small club. Great show. Will never forget Mick that night. Dressed in aviator jacket ala Fresh Cream. On par with Eric C.

[@tatethompson1234]

Mick Taylor I think is next to Hendrix, Clapton , Page ect. Mick was brilliant in The Bluesbreakers, Stones, Jack Bruce and his solo stuff. Hes one of the greatest of all time. Hes in it for the music and not just to make a buck. He has a real understanding of feeling and passion for guitar like no other. Hes one of the main reasons why I picked up a guitar. I hope he tours with the Stones next year. They never recovered after he left. Ronnie can't hold MT's guitar strap.

[@travelinben1966]

You’re an ace Mick!👏👏👏👏🎸

[@jonathanmills5747]

Sod the Foo Fighters, Mick Taylor is My Hero. We grew up in the same street in Hatfield! Admittedly I was born in 1966 and a baby when Mick was making his mark on Rock and Roll

[@charlessteenburgen]

THE ROLLING STONES are my favorite band.and their best era was with Mick Taylor..99 percent of the time.when l listen to them it's from his era

[@Methilde]

On stage their best era wa with Taylor, but you miss their first musical great period too. And even after Taylor they produced greats songs.

[@GregJay]

MT is such a beautiful player,players like him boggle my mind,I can play some guitar but if I practiced for 40 years I do not think that playing solos like he does would ever be possible, and he makes it look so easy, he had to play in a former life or something to take to it as naturally as he did, MT also plays the Bass guitar track on Fingerprint FIle, go have a listen to it, amazing

[@omeletpants]

In 1971, Hendrix and Allman were dead. Clapton was a zombie on heroin. For the next 2 years Mick Taylor was the greatest living lead guitarist.

[@jahlush]

Hendrix apart, Jeff Beck pisses over all of them.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

I read you write that elsewhere, and I thought it made sense

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Beck played some sessions with the Stones, I believe it’s from during the B&B studio session

[@Methilde]

@@ryanjavierortega8513 He spend two days playing with the Stones and they asked him to stay without any audition but he needs to stay free and said he was scared by they life style, he play with Jagger solo a few times, really one of the most interesting guitarist over decades.

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

He was so good in the Stones. Gave them credibility

[@HelgeNicholson]

5:25 What is the title of this beautiful tune?

[@ChaliQ1]

"You Got To Move" Fred McDowell although I think Keith tried to take credit for it.

[@HelgeNicholson]

Chaliq Biomed The time code is 5:25 The tune he plays on the piano is definitely not "You Got To Move".

[@ChaliQ1]

I didn't hear any Piano song.

[@HelgeNicholson]

Chaliq Biomed It starts right after he says "I used to sit there and played Three Blind Mice and anything, any other little nursery rhyme I could pick out with one hand and..."

[@ChaliQ1]

Thanks, missed it.

[@602doog]

M.Taylor is the best electric guitarist of his generation-so there!

[@joolz2323]

and their greatest albums. Exile?? Greatest album of all time.

[@dimesy94]

First time i've ver heard Mick Taylor sing

[@waynecameron4579]

He never thought the stones would be around for so long. ..

[@blkactor87]

I agree. From class to trash. All of the good songs that tey have released since he left was written & recorded while he was with them

[@michaelcaliri2795]

Just as good as Clapton

[@cotto-kx4qb]

Better

[@alexwhite8236]

Yeah probably better honestly Clapton could absolutely kill a good blues solo but mick could do that plus more.

la mejor epoca de los rolling con mick taylor. La gira de 1972, 1973 fue lo mejor de toda su historia

[@1954telecaster]

mick was too sensitive for the stones, he even said himself, if he didn't leave in the 70s he wouldn't be alive today

[@walterbishop739]

1954telecaster too sensitive hell no he was trying to escape heroin addiction. If he didn't leave he would be dead. Addition is a terrible thing. Look at Keith in the early seventies with no teeth.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

But he had that problem into the 90s, so I think he was fucked over by not being given those writing credits, and not being advised to get a lawyer, just for coverage

[@MB-rv9dx]

How long was he on the horse 🐴?

[@pauldinardo973]

Wow. Yes I read that. It was destroying him he wanted out. Great Great guitarist

[@Methilde]

Certainly more complexs reasons, not only one.

[@Waterpup]

The Stones never should have let him walk out the door.

[@wannabeangusyoung]

anyone know which year this is from?

[@jonathanmills5747]

The three most famous things to come out of Hatfield were Queen Elizabeth (The Virgin). The De Havilland Mosquito. And Mick Taylor.

[@richardblack7626]

He can really sing to! That's great!

[@kpzrocks]

My favorite guitarist too.. It wasn't his fault. He wasn't getting the artistic due. It was Mick Jagger and Kieth all of the way. He had songs he wanted to contribute, and ideas that weren't allowed. When he told Mick and Keith that he wanted to to leave, they asked him not to, but to take 6 months off. But weren't telling him that HE would contribute.. What a loss for the Stones..

[@theartfuldodger935]

The Stones are not a family. They are a gang. Mick and Keith have a proven track record of writing great songs. It was their songs that got the Stones where they are today. Taylor should have understood that when he agreed to join. Great guitarist tho. No doubt about that. Great but replaceable.

[@tonteriaslasprecisas6897]

@@theartfuldodger935 Replaceable he is not. That's why we are still moaning...

[@Peakabike]

Yeah, but where are these "songs"? I suppose he had cool ideas but 'songs"? Not really...

It was Jagger who asked him to stay not Keith.

[@rollingstone9204]

dear mick taylor ...

[@im1who84u]

He just seems like such a nice down to earth guy. Kinda like the guy next door that you could just hang around with. I suppose when people see him on the streets, restaurants, night clubs and such.... they probably have no idea he was a former Rolling Stone's member. He just doesn't look or act the part.

[@DrHogfan]

Put a picture of Terry Kath(RIP) from Chicago next to Mick Taylor.

[@tonteriaslasprecisas6897]

No way.

[@Rockpig1969]

I can't believe they didn't snap up Wayne Perkins when they had their chance. He played the solo on Hand of Fate on the Black and Blue album and it is so good. I bet old Woodie never came close to pulling it off live.

[@im1who84u]

7:58 For just a brief moment here, the sun hits the lens of the camera just right to make it look like Mick is pissing a rainbow..... but that's just me.

[@platter1000]

@flintrox i saw him at the bearsvill theater in woodstock ny about 1 year ago. i got him to sign 4 autographs for me and i was front and center for an awesome show

[@cn854]

That is 100 per cent correct x

That's very stupid... taylor left The Band for other reasons.... richards have nothing to be jealous (he is the 4th greatest guitarist of all time for rolling stone)

[@Methilde]

@@valcagamer6591 No, Keith wanted already Ronnie before Taylor leaves.

Mick Taylor an excellent guitarist and the Stones lost big time when he left, They should've begged him to stay period and We lost too because it was all over!

[@franktheo2055]

No other guitarist on earth that plays notes in transition on a fret board as smooth & clean like MT. Mick Taylor and he is a better guitarist than Clapton or for example, but he's not his own front man or as great a performer or composer as an Eric Clapton. After Taylor quit the Stones he went off to form a band with Jack Bruce that went nowhere, he did a few things with Dylan and other in studio recording artists that were OK but could never establish himself or find the recognition that he found with the Rolling Stones and with or with out him the Stones aren't an average band. The Stones didn't disappear with out Mick Taylor who thought he was better than the Stones when he quit the band in 74. Ron Wood passed the Black & Blue auditions in 75 and got to play in his favorite band in the world The Rolling Stones, and we should be so lucky !!! MT was insulted by Mick & Keith over how he wanted to play the guitar during recording sessions and felt he wanted credits on Time Waits For No One or Waiting On A Friend, he left and the Stones moved on without him. The fact of the matter is Mick Taylor left the Stones and went nowhere and to this day he regrets leaving.. I fell in love with the Stones music when I was a kid in grade school during the 1960's and to this day when I look back at how they evolved from the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, into the next century there's always a new song that they'll put out that will catch my ear, and there's the old debate of who's better band the Beatles or The Rolling Stones and I'm a fan of both, I guess you are what you grew up with and listing to........ Cool Audio Clip.

His net worth is 300k

[@rogkeista1]

In this video you can see he lives in a stately mansion with a park rather than a garden. He must be worth a lot with that kind of estate.

That was not his house! Before the Stones reached out in 2009 and 2012 and hired him again he lived in a dump...

Are you sure?, Jeff Beck, Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, Richie Blackmore, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, John Mclaughlin, Al Di Meola, Allan Holdsworth. Just to name a few who might me just as good or better!!!

[@tatethompson1234]

I disagree. His records may have not been #1 in the charts, but for his true fans they are brilliant. I found all his solo records tobe brilliant. His stuff with John Mayall is incredible also. I think he can play just as good, if not better today.

[@dhritimansen3307]

sorry did someone say he was broke?

Not likely. Look where he lives in the video. It's a mansion with a huge park.

[@madgo22]

Woody did not change their sound. Brian Jones and Mick Taylor were key elements during their time with the band. After Some Girls, where Woody is fantastic, his playing fell off sharply, as a guitarist playing for 30 years I do not know anyone who sites Ron Wood as an influence but most certainly Keith and Mick Taylor are mentioned. Anyway the term "importance" is what they left behind on vinyl and the Mick Taylor era is far more vital and classic than the Ron Wood era will ever be
