Mick T gave the stones a dimension that propelled them to a greatness beyond that which they already were...It's ridiculous to argue otherwise...he upped the ante...but Ronnie???...please...he's done nothing to add to their catalog...not a damn thing...and as "boring" as some of you think he is now, take a good listen to Keef lately...boring is one thing, but sucking gnat balls is quite another... |

As an old time fan, I agree with this statement. The Taylor years WERE the best Stones years! Anyone who is posting on this thread without actually having heard MT play live as a RS does NOT know that they are talking about! THose lucky enough to experience MT's bigtime stage presence would agree he was equal to JAGGER or KEEF as a driving force. You really cant judge by the studio albums. IMO
I never saw Mick T live...but I've heard Brussels Affair and various other boots and yeah...what Mick T added was magic...he was doing things that both Ronnie and Keef and their "ancient art of weaving" hroseshit can't do together...even when they are sober

i really doubt they would have managed to reach that status they had in the 70s(and the abbility to find yound hangers on like me) without taylor back then...

true, i was 13 in 1979 and i fell in love with the stones but knew nothing except some girls.
in those early discoveries - like studying the pictures inside the hot rocks lp cover - MT always seemed out of place.
'who is that guy?'
he didn't FIT with the others somehow....
but it was taylor's work on sticky fingers (my first real stones album) that first just made the music bigger to me. |

you would think im crazy when i tell you i did not like the stones before i got "LET IT BLEED", i know taylor did not play a lot on this record, but after this i just seemed to gettting better with every single record until exile;-)
beggars was the shit too(and afterwards the first rnb records too);-) and it was so great to discover the band!"why are they on the same level as the beatles" i thought back then...today i know it better;-) |
