Mick Taylor is one of the best blues players ever. Mick Taylor with The Stones was the perfect storm. It doesn’t do any good to contemplate what might have been, just take those years and enjoy them
... once read (true or not) after Mick joined the Stones he did so much coke that he had to have plastic surgery on his nose (ask a Trump) but the article didn't mention if he had a full body blood transfusion (ask Keith) or drown a band mate in the pool (ask Mick) making truth stranger than fiction in rock&roll.
Mick Taylor is a Blues man, one of the best. The Rolling Stones,,,You could say Mick had outgrown them. And I know he tired of Jagger/Richards as his contributions were all over the place and ignored. He took his guitar, pride and left. The stones haven't been the same after his departure. A 20 year old Mick Taylor took the Stones to places they haven't been before, 69-74 were the Zenith years for the Rolling Stones, in my humble opinion. His rendition of Hendrix's " Red House " Priceless,,,,,And, for all you Mick Taylor fans, check out " Apolitical Blues " with Lowell George. Once again,priceless,,,,,,,
As is the solo album, w/ 'Leather Jacket' , 'Alabama' 'Spanish' et al--an amazing work & arguably the single album I have that I know NONE of my buds bought!
See that's the thing. Mick T was the best thing that ever happened to the Stones, but one gets the feeling that without the Jagger-Richards song framework to work on, he was just another really good player (and there were several at the time) - yes the Glimmer Twins did shaft him with respect to songwriting credits and all that but then again, without those tunes, his stellar embellishments wouldn't have caught our attention to the extent that they have - anyway, I say MT with the Stones on the Hyde Park DVD and I was mega pleased. I'm a two-bit guitar player myself, and I go around telling people that they need to be able to have the sort of feel MT had - or else they should pick up the fucking kanjeera (Indian instrument that you don't have to hear about)
tim baird I like your comment and we can all hypothesize until forever but when I think of the stones' having a gold era-it's when Taylor was in-I luv 'em but when Taylor was in I REALLY loved'em. Also like Johnny Winter's version-an extremely underated and under-appreciated blues genius.
Another IDIOT who doesn't understand the word 'underrated ' always one on RUclips ,there are millions upon millions of stones fans out there and 65 % of all comments on a stones RUclips video are saying 'Mick Taylor years the best,nothing can touch Mick T etc etc So there are millions of people who love him and say he was the bestthing to happen to the stones but he's underrated,erm ok

Rory Gallagher was my all time favourite but Mick Taylor is one great, great guitarist and The Rolling Stones were exceptional when he was in that band he definately enhanced their playing and output.
When the stones had Taylor they were at the top of their game, shame they didn't appreciate him like they should have. One of the greatest guitarists from his generation
Being an older guy, I heard Mick Taylor when he was still playing with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. If you can listen to some of those tracks, you would be quite pleased, as he was about 19-20 years old at the time.
I saw Mick Taylor with John Mayall in Houston, TX around 1970. When you listen to Mick play he is heavily influenced by Mike Bloomfield which is a great guitar player to be influenced by.
Y'all say what you want. This S.O.B. can play the Hell out of a Guitar. Very Overlooked, always has been. Gave Keef all he wanted and I'm a huge KR Fan. God Bless Mr.Taylor, thanks for all the good times. Keep on Rockin'!
@@mikedangelo6602 Mick has not escaped his due -at least from fellow guitarists. Unlike Morgan, I'm not the biggest KR fan, so I felt Mick walking away was a great loss to the Stones. He's got buckets of soul in his fingers.
Peter Green was an established Guitarist. In the sixties, I had seen him a few times. And yes he was fabulous.Mick was just a 17 year old Guitarist. Who! did a brilliant job of standing in for Clapton ,of all people. just a moment in time. Who, did John Mayall contact when Peter Green left. Yes Mick Taylor. If you know anything about John Mayall. You will understand That Mayall never forgot Mick Taylor. And he was a fantastic replacement for Peter Green.God bless Mick Taylor.
I saw Mick at the Freebird Cafe owned by Ronnie Van Zant's sister back in 2000. there were very few people there, maybe 30 or 40, which was shocking. it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. he did a meet and greet after the show and he looked very tired. of course the guy in front of me was "that" guy, drunk and rambling on and on and Mick just had this face that said it all. finally the guy's girlfriend or whatever she was and a security guard had to tell him his time was up. I gave Mick a smile, told him "lovely show thanks for coming to play for us", shook his hand and told him good night. yes that's right, I shook Mick Taylor's hand.
good story. i saw mick a few yrs back at the bearsville theather in woodstock, ny. i got a pic and his poland spring water bottle. he did a meet an greet afterwards...he signed my sticky fingers lp my exile on main st 8 track an a couple other things...after signing he mingled had a couple sodas an split. nice guy but looked very tired
@@eightinches6094 not at all saying this is Hendrix, but staying off the crack is hard when every red house in Sydney offers you a crack pipe. Just joking
Mick Taylor was a huge part of "Can't you hear me knockin'" from the Stones. been a Big Fav of mine..... "In 1979, Taylor said: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking is one of my favorites. (The jam at the end) just happened by accident; that was never planned. Towards the end of the song I just felt like carrying on playing. Everybody was putting their instruments down, but the tape was still rolling and it sounded good, so everybody quickly picked up their instruments again and carried on playing. It just happened, and it was a one-take thing. A lot of people seem to really like that part." "
My favourite stones song, everything about it is superb. Makes you feel like your'e floating by the end. Charlie Watts deserves massive praise for his drumming on this song
Well done. I sat and listened to it in its entirety. Too good not to. What a fine player. And no question, the best Rolling Stones years, he was there. What a player.
The Stones never were my favourites but during the time Mick Taylor was with them, they were on such an extending level wich they never accomplised. I then even liked them. Great guitarplayer, magnificent contribution of Red House.
Man i feel like jimi and mick really got along when they met personality wise and guitar wise. Makes me wonder what they could've or would've done together if jimi hadn't died.
Mick Taylor is a true musician . A gem! I think Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones should step up to the plate and give him 20 million dollars. They all have over 500 to 600 million dollars , thanks to Mick Taylor and he’s in financial trouble . C;MON ! ! DO THE RIGHT THING ! ! !
Another of The great Blues Man talents of all time, going Something unnoticed as Mike Bloomfield and Roy Buchanan among the 10 Best guitarist Mr Mick Taylor 🎸
Le roi du blues avec Mike bloomfield , il laisse derrrière lui Clapton and Co par son feeling incomparable et sa faculté a me faire dresser les poils du bras à chaque note... Fabuleux , sans concurrent , maitre absolu de la Gibson dont il tire les cordes à merveille , un pur géni , loin devant hendrix mais si près de Peter Green et Roy Buchanan... Sublime !!
with Mick Taylor the Stones were the most thrilling act I could imagine, they were kind of incarnation of white rock'n roll with black drive, scince he left they are a washed-out cartoon of themselves
Once he left....the Stones lost so much power. With Mick Taylor they had it ALL. But Led Zeppelin DESTROYED ALL bands before them anyway. They could never come close to the powerhouse the Mighty Zepp had.
MEL Camm the stones didn’t allow him to leave,they begged him not to,but how could they stop him? He’s his own man and if he wants to leave there ain’t nothing they can do!,unfortunately his heroin habit was out of control and he felt the only way out was to get away from the stones and the decadent lifestyle that came with the band,the drugs,the groupies,the partying etc Unfortunately for him leaving the band didn't automatically stop his drug use and it took him many years to get clean.
@@jeffsmith2022 thats right , he wanted to leave , why would they beg him not to ? theyre the rolling stones , hes just a guitar player ! they took on ron wood knowing he wasnt another mick taylor , knowing he wasnt the best player around , thats who they wanted .
Mick Taylor: One Bad-Ass Mutha Fuhker! The Tone, The Phrasing, The Feeling! He got it all! and a great slide player, basically one great all around guitarist. I don't get people on here, why can't you like Hendrix, and Mick? Both are great versions! It doesn't have to be who's better, it's everyone's got there own take on the song. And as long as the playing is great then I'll listen over and over. I love this track. By the way Tate is this available on a CD somewhere? thanks for posting this.
You are so right. All this nonsense about who's the best - it's stupid. There are and have been many great, great players and none is necessarily the best?!?!
Not to mention his finger vibrato. Since MT is my longtime guitar hero, I've studied him closely and manage from time to time to duplicate that vibrato (especially when played on the B string). That big bossy sound....
The highest the Stones ever flew was on Mick Taylor's wings, but jagger & richards wouldn't share song writing credits...so Taylor quit. The Stones never recovered...the glory days were gone & they became a tribute band to themselves...
Simply the best, better than all the rest. Love you and the music you make so, so much. Thank you and God bless you and yours.💕🇨🇦💕👍Mick Taylor you rock 🎸💙🎸
Very tasteful and elegant playing by Mick Taylor. A very good interpretation of "Red House" from, say, "Hendrix In The West". Slow and nuanced Blues. Jimi would surely have approved. The Stones really miss his Lead Guitar, which shone when he played with them.
Splendid......... Hope he's doing better health-wise these days; it would be nice to have him playing for many more years to come. Although not a lot was recorded, Mick laid down some awesome vibes on stage when he was with Jack Bruce for a brief time. It was more jazz/fusion than blues, but brilliant none the less; showing just how wide his range really was. But a bluesman he'll forever be, and he's one of the best; he can be overlooked by as many people as possible, but he's been in my own personal Hall of Fame for over forty years; and in my house, that means a lot........... Peace to you Mick, God Bless
I met Jack Bruce whilst playing support for him and told him how good I felt that band with Mick Tayor and Billy Cobham was - one of the best things I'd heard on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
The Jack Bruce Band, 1973-4? ???...my pal Roger was doing the stage sound; a European Tour...it was Carla Bley on Synth; Nicky Hopkins; piano; Mick Taylor; guitar; Bruce Gary ,,,....who ended up drumming for the Knack...and Jack...did I miss anyone...??
@@michaelbravard8081 I agree. He and Richards were not happy when Mick T told them he was outta there. I think his exit was pretty quick, if I remember correctly. In all honesty between the drugs and BS, he did the right thing or he may have ended up a member in the 27 club if he made it that far.
Love MT and JH. I love his era with the Stones. I really love most Stones stuff, but I especially love the years that he played with them. He is a true artist and Rolling Stone magazine's Number 37 of all-time guitar players in 2012. Jimi was #1 in that issue.
As a young lad in the US Air Force, I was fortunate enough to see the Hyde Park concert in July of '69. I was a Brian Jones fan, but I knew Mick Taylor would go on to be great with the Stones .
Mister Taylor was, in 1969, too young to drink alcohol and the Bluesbreakers were following Mister Albert King onstage at the Pasadena Rose Palace. The Breaker's broke into the mad swing of Parchman Farm. Mick stopped time for a nine-minute-solo. Deep Purple, of course, opened the show.
Absolutely ........I Love the Stones ...! I seen them MSG 7/24/1972..........They were never the same.......Most of the albums that followed you could pick just about a handful of songs ......Sad .........But BRUSSELS 1973 IS KILLER .....!! And Plunder my soul , had to wait 45 years ......
What I love about him? He has always been a free spirit. Playing or not, if he felt like it. The Stones never knew if he was gonna show up. A true wild man, on his own level.
Yep! Agree with all the people who think Mick is Great.Just a Brilliant Guitarist. Never was a Hendrix fan.Just a Showman imho. My mate used to play the guitar with his teeth In the early sixties.Long before we had ever heard of Hendrix. Yes my mate was a wasted talent. But marriage can do that to you. Mick Taylor, to me was equal to Eric Clapton. And believe me Eric is my Guitar Hero.
Don Lunn I'm not sure that mick isn't actually better than Clapton. Similar styles IMO. But at times I think mick is actually better, in that a series of notes can be more intricate. And mick IMO has blues style nailed 100%. Clap maybe 95%. Just my 2 cents. All mick taylor fans are my brothers. You dudes "get it".
Taylor is a rolling stone, a bluesman, one of the greatest guitarist of the world, and ...a great "Rolling Stone" too!
(1969 to 1974 - the best years)
He's for ever a Stones
He could have made the Stones a good band
@@BartLouwman if they had a better singer....
@@oldpoppyI don't think Jack Bruce would go to te Stones, therefore the best solution was that Mick Taylor went to Jack Bruce :)

Always with taste and elegance, no blistering 1/264th notes for this man, just sweet brilliance.
1/264th note does not exist;do math!
Great musician and forever grateful what he brought to the Stones
bravo been sayin it for years tim anybody who has ears can hear he led the stones to a place they'll never be again
I met Mick Taylor when he was touring with John Mayall and he was very upbeat at the time, hes the best guitarist the Stones ever had by miles ...
MICK TAYLOR, his best work was with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, saw them several times, and Mick was truly outstanding!!!
I saw Mick Taylor playing with John Mayall at The Whiskey A Go Go, Hollywood, around 1968-69.
Peter Green... was better.

Crazy, answered my own question from 3 years ago. Yes indeed it is the Maysles brothers, Albert and David, God Bless...Awesome video...
His slide solo tone is dripping like honey off that 59-Burst. Take note! This is how to use a Les Paul correctly. Brilliant!

How just utterly fantastic is this?

Very tasteful and elegant playing by Mick Taylor. A very good interpretation of "Red House" from, say, "Hendrix In The West". Slow and nuanced Blues. Jimi would surely have approved. The Stones really miss his Lead Guitar, which shone when he played with them.
One of my favorites. MICK TAYLOR
My favorite rendition since it’s the blues😆♥️😍😘😘🤗💙😊Woo hoo!💘
Splendid......... Hope he's doing better health-wise these days; it would be nice to have him playing for many more years to come. Although not a lot was recorded, Mick laid down some awesome vibes on stage when he was with Jack Bruce for a brief time. It was more jazz/fusion than blues, but brilliant none the less; showing just how wide his range really was. But a bluesman he'll forever be, and he's one of the best; he can be overlooked by as many people as possible, but he's been in my own personal Hall of Fame for over forty years; and in my house, that means a lot........... Peace to you Mick, God Bless
I met Jack Bruce whilst playing support for him and told him how good I felt that band with Mick Tayor and Billy Cobham was - one of the best things I'd heard on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
The Jack Bruce Band, 1973-4? ???...my pal Roger was doing the stage sound; a European Tour...it was Carla Bley on Synth; Nicky Hopkins; piano; Mick Taylor; guitar; Bruce Gary ,,,....who ended up drumming for the Knack...and Jack...did I miss anyone...??
Thanks for posting this. It's just too magical. X
well this is just too good. of course jimi's version is all-time best, but this is soooooooo good.
A blues
guitar master. One of the most underrated ever. The Stones didn't know what they had.
Yes they did. Jagger has said that it was very hard to see him go.
@@michaelbravard8081 I agree. He and Richards were not happy when Mick T told them he was outta there. I think his exit was pretty quick, if I remember correctly. In all honesty between the drugs and BS, he did the right thing or he may have ended up a member in the 27 club if he made it that far.
Mick Taylor is one of the finest blues players ever to put his hands on a guitar. He really is in his own musical zip code.
Love MT and JH. I love his era with the Stones. I really love most Stones stuff, but I especially love the years that he played with them. He is a true artist and Rolling Stone magazine's Number 37 of all-time guitar players in 2012. Jimi was #1 in that issue.
Brilliant version of Red House, the stones never equaled the MT years!
I'm the 1980's saw him play with John Mayall at a very small club in Boulder Colorado called the Blue Note
So good!
Lost for words-Brilliant
Mick is Exile and Sticky Fingers legend. The heyday of Rock n Roll!
On a scale of 1-10, the singing may be a 5/6, but the picking is a 25 !
Jimmie Hultman yep
Yeah he can’t sing at all. That’s what Eric Clapton has over him.
@@terminatorx2545 are you saying this is Mick singing?I didn't know that he sang at all.
I love the way Mick sings! ❤️
Mick is one of the greatests!!!
On reconnaît son style et c’est la class ,les 2 dans le top des meilleurs guitaristes du monde 👍
live version of midnight rambler on the hot rocks is the best the stones ever sounded...thanks to this teenager (at the time)
As a young lad in the US Air Force, I was fortunate enough to see the Hyde Park concert in July of '69. I was a Brian Jones fan, but I knew Mick Taylor would go on to be great with the Stones .
how epic was Mick
There's 2 exceptional guitarists right here
i was there OMG watching this "monumento"
Velho Wood! Mick Taylor é mesmo um pusta de um bluesman. Nota 10 para esta versão do mestre Hendrix! Thank you Mr. Mick Stone Taylor!!!
That tone.... Mick always has the tone
Wow....wow....dang.....far out!!
Mister Taylor was, in 1969, too young to drink alcohol and the Bluesbreakers were following Mister Albert King onstage at the Pasadena Rose Palace. The Breaker's broke into the mad swing of Parchman Farm. Mick stopped time for a nine-minute-solo. Deep Purple, of course, opened the show.
Holy shit. Best Red House cover? I think so.
Jimi loves this..
Perfect!!
Oh-e my god, what a blues player, best guitar man in Stones ever. Sorry it just me. But that feeling of the eliktric guitar, yer yer. Niels Denmark
Absolutely ........I Love the Stones ...! I seen them MSG 7/24/1972..........They were never the same.......Most of the albums that followed you could pick just about a handful of songs ......Sad .........But BRUSSELS 1973 IS KILLER .....!! And Plunder my soul , had to wait 45 years ......
Gorgeous bends.
SIMPLY: THE BEST
Gorgeous sounds
Nothing good since he left. Only Entertainers now no longer artists.
What I love about him? He has always been a free spirit. Playing or not, if he felt like it. The Stones never knew if he was gonna show up. A true wild man, on his own level.
Yep! Agree with all the people who think Mick is Great.Just a Brilliant Guitarist. Never was a Hendrix fan.Just a Showman imho. My mate used to play the guitar with his teeth In the early sixties.Long before we had ever heard of Hendrix. Yes my mate was a wasted talent. But marriage can do that to you. Mick Taylor, to me was equal to Eric Clapton. And believe me Eric is my Guitar Hero.
Don Lunn I'm not sure that mick isn't actually better than Clapton. Similar styles IMO. But at times I think mick is actually better, in that a series of notes can be more intricate. And mick IMO has blues style nailed 100%. Clap maybe 95%. Just my 2 cents. All mick taylor fans are my brothers. You dudes "get it".
King of the guitar
