RIP Malcolm Young AC/DC

[Robert Mugabe]

Is this a joke? You have opinions on guitar playing in the Stones and you do not know who Mick Taylor is?

As for Mick Taylor's contributions fading away, he played on Let It Bleed through Goat's Head Soup. He wrote some key songs in this time. This is the peak of the Stones. Anyone who actually plays, and is actually aware of the Stones, considers this their peak and a lot of the credit goes to Taylor's incredible leads. He was on fire at the time.

Here is quote from Keith in '73 while Taylor was in the Stones: "Right now, I'm sticking pretty much to playing rhythm onstage. It depends on the number actually, but since Brian died, I've had to pay more attention to rhythm guitar anyway."

I mean seriously, you have no clue what you are talking about.

You also seem to think the best guitarists play lead. Not always the case, and if you want a band that can really swing, a killer rhythm player like Malcolm is essential. Those solos need something to sit on, and this is where a lot of bands fall apart. RIP Malcolm... he was one of the best.

I know who Mick Taylor is/was. He was the lucky guy who got offered a job with the Stones after Brian died. and quit soon after. and nobody has heard of him since. so much for legends.The fact that I gave up listening to their bar band/ fair ground music,very early on doesn't mean I have no clue. I just don't like the Stones. I can't imagine sitting down and actually putting on one of their tuneless dirge crap filled albums and listening to it. Let sit Bleed came out right after Let it be. Goat head soup. who gives a shit. The rode the Beatles Coat tails. all the way baby.

John Lennon had them figured
actually. i decided to give mick taylor a listen. not exactly ground breaking is it?

Uhh, to quote you: "Never heard a Mick Taylor track with the stones.".
Then when Keith himself states he plays rhythm, you now turn this into some weird Beatles vs Stones thing (and apparently giving an opinion on music you have never heard!?!?)..

Now you claim nobody has heard of Taylor. Hmmm, Slash names him as one of the 12 best guitarists of all time:

Not hard to find other lists that throw him up there as well (the Rolling Stone list puts him at 37, ahead of stellar players like Cropper, Bloomfield, Knopfler, Gallagher, and, yes, Lennon).

At some point, you just gotta pack it in man and admit you have zero idea what you are talking about. It is no wonder Zimbabwe hates you.

Ok. I give up. now I remember where I met you......

Never heard a Mick Taylor track with the stones. I don't listen to them much. However the first album, which consisted of Chuck Berry covers or songs of a similar ilk, showed Keith off as a kick ass lead guitarist. Never liked much of his stuff since, but he was the lead guitarist. The blonde guy with the Beatle hair cut was Brian jones, strumming away on rhytm guitar. the vid isn't them playing route 66, they are playing something else.However Mick Taylor's brief contributions seem to have faded away. Replacement Ronnie Wood, also plays rhythm guitar. Keith has always played lead.

As others have said, you don't know what you are talking about. Mick Taylor played on their greatest albums, including Exile on Main Street. Here is a great performance with Taylor on the lead:

I guess you are right fluffer. I bow out to your grasp of musical greatness. Don't know if Mick Taylor is playing on this one. probably, but I will play you out with this moment of Their Satanic Majesties

I guess I was just wrong..........is this why you love them so much?
