He helped the Stones acquire the reputation of being the greatest rock band in the world. He ‘s certainly not underrated as far as true Rolling Stones fans are concerned. They acquired their reputation as the best live rock band because of his ability on guitar.
@@johnbland3642 He's underrated. Sure he's known to Stone fans but If you ask any non Stones fan who Mick Taylor is most of them wouldn't have a clue. As a matter of fact I think Terry Kath is one of the few guitarists who's even more underrated than Taylor.
@elevenb 1993...Yes, Mick Taylor is underrated, because he never put himself out there, never claimed credit for what he did, never made of spectacle of himself... and his guitar solo from the song Sympathy For The Devil, live, off of the album Get Yer Ya Ya's Out remains as the finest in class, and probably played off the top of his head, on the spot, not planned....I first heard it on 8-Track tape back in AD 1970, as a 12-year old, and it still sends shivers up my 65 year-old spine. Yes, Goats Head Soup, was the last good album from the Stones....after that, the Stones changed, more commercial rock, than the old old rock, which was that what sprang from within them, and made them famous.
He actually claimed credit for what he did but Jagger / Richards would not give such credit, this is probably the main reason why he left the band. I have seen various interviews where he is very nice and does not really speak up, but for me it is clear that he was and probably is very pissed.
Mick Taylor même quand il joue calmement avec sa guitare en rythmique avec un solo très discret mais superbe, ce j'ai toujours aimé chez Mick Taylor c'est sa discrétion de jouer au début des intros et après avec grande classe sortir sa puissance de soliste et de nous laisser sur place à l'écoute de ses jonglages de gammes solos dans tous les sens. Magnifique Taylor
Kieth Richards was definitely the Stones 2nd guitarist during the 5 years Taylor was in the group. And it's no coincidence the band's best albums were also between 1969 & 1974.
@@StevieZero For some reason , on my first reading of your comment, I thought that your "he" was a reference to Mick Taylor, and not Keith Richards. I now see that I misread the comment. Therefore it would seem that we are perfectly in agreement, after all.
After Brian Jones passed, John Mayall of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers told Mick that he had a 19 year old guitar player that could play the blues like no other. Mick Taylor played for the Stones once and he was hired and still is the best musician the Stones ever had. Keith Richards calls Mick Taylor a virtuoso.
Give a listen to "Blues from Laurel Canyon " by John Mayall, Mick Taylor ,lovely riffs ,solos and licks, it was before he joined the rolling stones, so he was quite young
Mon Maître absolu d'un des meilleurs solistes du monde voir le meilleur par sa puissance discrète de sa maîtrise absolue de tout rythme de guitare mais avec sa touche personnelle et de ses propres gammes solistes jouées soit en improvisation soit en préparant consciencieusement son jeux rhytmique et soliste impressessionnant de maturité de contrôle dont il n'a jamais fait une seule erreur de notes malgrés les drogues ingurgitées avec la période Rolling Stones
taylor is soooooooo gooooood!!! personally i think he is as good as clapton, but maybe more jazzy, and clapton was more bluesy.. but taylor is more endearingly melodic. He was by far, by a long long long way, the best musician in rolling stones.
kshitij aurora I know you posted that Six years ago, and I do respect your opinion but Mick Taylor was not the best musician in the Rolling Stones. However he was the best guitar player. Brian Jones was the best musician, he played multiple instruments like the auto harp, piano, harmonica, sitar, and of course electric guitar and was one of the first in England to play slide guitar. But Mick Taylor was definitely the best guitar player they had!!!
Un des plus grand guitariste mondial, soliste très d'une précision d'accompagnement impressionnante et en plus un son magnifique aussi en rythmique et une classe hors norme... Il a commencé à jouer de la guitare à l'âge de 7 ou 8ans. Il est parti des stones car Keith Richard était jaloux de ses performances Ron wood son remplaçant est loin très loin d'avoir le niveau guitare de mick Taylor
j'adore Mick Taylor je suis un grand fan de son style de jeu et bien sûr, tout ce qu'il a fait avec les Stones, mais c'était une époque. Ron Wood a permis aux Stones d'aborder les années 80 de commencer une nouvelle aventure, différente. Je vois mal MT sur Miss You sur Tatoo You ou Steel Wheels ... et il faut reconnaitre l'apport discret de Ronnie Wood. Je ne compare pas les deux époques, je les aime différemment. :)
The greatest mistake the Stones ever made was not doing WHATEVER IT TOOK, to keep Mick Taylor in the band. For starters, they could have PAID him. He was given no credits on SEVERAL albums---in other words, no residuals. In addition, his mates should have helped him with drug addiction and got him the help he needed to stay with the band. They did not... With all due respect to Keith Richards---on Mick Taylor's WORSE DAY, Keef couldn't hold a candle to him. Make no mistake, Keith Richards is a very good guitarist. Mick Taylor is a GREAT guitarist. A guitar genius. Right up there with Hendrix, Clapton, and Santana. No doubt about it. The five albums he produced with the Stones from '69-'74 are all classics. The band was never the same after 1974.
Saw MT years ago with Alvin Lee. Insane, but the were the BACK UP ACT for Black Sabath! Crazy great set brought the roof down. Sabbath played a couple songs after them as people started filing out. 1981 or so.
He's more persistent that Clapton . Clapton bends better but Mick plays 5 notes while Clapton plays 2. Just different styles. I personally like the machine gun attack of Taylor.
Released with Carla Olson, approx. 1990, but I can't remember which album. I'm not sure if Mick has songwriting credits, or it's Carla, or both. If you're a Taylor fan, you have to get "Too Hot for Snakes". Live performance with Olson and her band. Ian McLagan is on it.
This was'n't ever released, these were from DEMO'S we did in NYC/Euphoria studios 1990. I'm drumming on this and there are 3 others I have here on cassette, someday I'll finish them with Mick Hopefully. 2 we co- wrote while on tour 1989/ Clapton -South America .
Taylor el mejor guitarrista de los Stones cambio el estilo sonidos y los mejores discos Mick Taylor y Brian Jones. Lo mejor y más fantásticos de los Rolling Stones.
No doubt that Mick Taylor elevated the Stones to their highest peak, but the riffs in this song reveal that, at the same time, he might have just picked up one or two things from Keith along the way. I wish he'd never left the band.
Listen, I do agree with a lot those comments, Stones were at their high point when M ick Taylor was around. Let,s give them credit for at least sticking around when they are obvously in huge decline. Oh Well.
Les Rolling stones quand Mick Taylor est partie n'ont jamais plus le remplacer avec sa classe discrétion et puissance de guitariste aussi bien rythmique que soliste débarqué d'un autre monde, comme d'habitude la faute a été à mon avis que Jagger et Richard ont été des jaloux dès que un membre du groupe devenait trop fort et n'ont eu pour lui aucune reconnaissance et ça été la même chose avec Brian John le créateur des Rolling stones d'un niveau de génie de très très haut niveau et le couple Jagger Richard l'ont aussitôt exclu et mis à distance d'où aussi cela a joué sur la santé mentale d'être traité comme cela. Ron Woody a été choisi n'ont pas pour remplacer l'irremplaçable Mick Taylor mais comme clown manipulable aux de Jagger Richard
His days with the Stones molded and influenced him greatly. I wish Jagger would have done a solo album with Taylor. Keith had nothing to do with Sway or Moonlight Mile. I dont blame Taylor's departure on the Stones never achieving greatness again. They have continued with some good stuff. But every band eventually hits the song writing wall. Example Zepplins last two albums.
He’s better than Clapton. Clapton is boring with just a few exceptions. Taylor was musical, technical, lyrical. Stones not the same and not so good without him.

Mick Taylor is not underrated.
The best thing that happened to the stones when Mick Taylor joined.There best period in there music
100% agree
Their Best period. 1968-1972. BB and LiB without and SF and Exile with Mick Taylor. BUT live... Stones were much better with Taylor.
Agreed.

Mick was the sound of the Stones during their best period.
Time Waits for No One is my favorite Stones tune.

Nick Taylor elevated the stones to another level no question
Mick

What a friggin display of slide guitar, timing, singing and autobiography. It lifted my spirits off the ground.

Where? When? With whom? I've never heard this before, & I've heard it all! Awesome! More please.
MT definitely brought real British Blues back to the Stones! Best years IMO…

This is very gooood!! I have Too Hot for Snakes plus that does not include this tune.
I think Mick Jagger was more bummed than anyone when he left the band they wrote songs together
He realized if he stayed with the Stones the horse would trample him to death.
Best musician who played for the Stones, from 69 to end of 74 . .

What,s to say more... God-given player
Es de la escuela de John Mayall. UN CRACK.
love this song! love me some Mick Taylor. What a great guitar player. In my opinion he's way better than Clapton.
Can't compare Clapton and Taylor. Both doing perfect job on different style and platform.
Mick sounds great and sings well. I always feel frustrated he did'nt achieve so much more post Stones. Maybe he did'nt believe in himself enough?
Excellent
What's the name of this song?
Keith,not Kieth,is the first guitarplayer of the stones,no doubt about it.But Mick Taylor was the great solo guitarist!!!
I hear a lot of Keith in his singing and playing… IMO
Maybe I'm "out of school" here but......don't all guys wish they were Mick Taylor?
Listen, I do agree with a lot those comments, Stones were at their high point when M ick Taylor was around. Let,s give them credit for at least sticking around when they are obvously in huge decline.
Oh Well.
Is this in open G?
Actually he left the Rolling Stones cause he was afraid to loose his soul , not for the songs credits....
Both things are true. He was becoming addicted to heroin and cocaine, plus they never gave him songwriting credit on songs he helped write.

Keef is still the Riff Master General, but Taylor was the band's most talented colorist and soloist. They did not treat him well.
His days with the Stones molded and influenced him greatly. I wish Jagger would have done a solo album with Taylor. Keith had nothing to do with Sway or Moonlight Mile. I dont blame Taylor's departure on the Stones never achieving greatness again. They have continued with some good stuff. But every band eventually hits the song writing wall.

this sounds like it is his own biography! what year was this released?
Tak skal du have 💕 ✨️ very 😎
🇦🇷
But does he compare with Hendrix?
No. The greats typically don't compare to one another.
+Bill Goldman ugg! 2 different styles like comparing evh to hank williams!
Musicians don't make comparisons , Jimi & Mick were friends & artists of their own we need not compare them.
They are completely different beasts.
Unreleased
Gosh what's the point in comparing clapton amd taylor... That's so lame..
how much you want to bet this was a demo for the Stones that got shelved?
He’s better than Clapton. Clapton is boring with just a few exceptions. Taylor was musical, technical, lyrical. Stones not the same and not so good without him.
Terrible song!
