He got sick of all the setlist whiners always wanting to hear Satisfaction, Paint It Black and other neglected hits. |

He decided the drug use was going to kill him, so he quit and decided getting fat was healthier!
Oh, he also was pissed about songs he helped write and didn't get credit for... Ronnie doesn't seem to mind and decided cocaine was better than Twinkies!
Yum!

a brilliant career move.
Mick Taylor makes David Caruso look like Nostradmas.

1- tired by the stones world
2- tired from jagger/richards ego
3- no credits on stones musics
4- fear from drugs

That's why he got so strung out after quitting... The man defies all reason and inteligence!
he never did seem to come up with another great song again either!
Back seat on The Stones bus is still better than front seat on the Twinkie bus! |

We hear the songwriting thing all the time. What damn songs did he write? He didn't write shit. |

He played a big role in Sway... But as far as credit goes, it's debatable. Putting down the the lyrics and riff was all Jagger, Taylor probably had alot of input, BUt his was coming up with leads... He confused inspiration with credit. His sourness just grew from there! |

"Time Waits For No One", I think, was the main culprit. |

keith treated him like shit ....although keith treated alot of people like shit back then;
he and jagger actually excelled together and that partnership is what makes GHS and IORR so distinctive and great. |

The credit story is not debatable. Taylor never asked to have the songs credited to him only but a few to Jagger/Taylor just like Moonlight Mile, Sway (where Keith was not even in the studio) Times Wait For No One... |

keith couldn't handle anybody else that dominant on guitar.....i know a guy like that - would always turn himself up to drown out everybody else.
i love the guy but keith's ego is vastly underrated.... |

he was tired of these stones world....
the musics, drugs, ego are in these context!!!
mick jagger says he not was in the 2nd IORR sessions(1974) because he was "sick"
it has the history on the swiss clinic that would have changed the blood of him, and also the history of the nasal mucosa |

I remember reading a short interview around the R&R Hall of Fame induction and he was asked "Why did you leave?" His answer was "I ask myself that all the time" |

I don't think it matters WHY he left. What matters is that he DID. It has taken me many years to accept Ron Wood as the Stones lead guitarist, in fact I stopped listening to the Stones partly because of him for about 20 years. Now when I listen to '78 stuff I realize that Woody isn't a bad guitarist he's just a different kind of gutiarist than Mick. Mick was like a craftsman who weaved fluid lines of music around the basic Stones melodies, filling in and fleshing out. Woody plays a chippier guitar more of an echo of Keith added more buzz to the mix. When he was good I heard a hornet stinging, when Mick played I heard a songbird singing. Personally I prefer MT. That was the incarnation I started with. I love the Stones today but I LOVE the '69 -'73 Stones. |
