I hope Mick Taylor get more recognition as the years go on, it’s quite puzzling how his name has been out of the mix in the mainstream. Personally it irks me who’s raved about while MT and others im fond of never seemed to catch the respect that any fan of this genre of music should really know and respect. Great video
Is it not simply the fact he hasn’t been active in the “mainstream” most of the mainstream would consider Ron Woods an integral part of the history of the stones, when I’m fact you had Jones and Taylor. I’m all reality Ron Wood has basically played the guitar parts of the former players. Amazing player Taylor and probably won’t get the true recognition till the Stones all die and future generations discover the Stones for themself. Much like players like Peter Green
I think it's just because he bounced around so much, people who don't know his name still know his work..... I think his soloing on Gimme Shelter is pretty epic for instance
Keith played this Burst extenxively during the Stones 1972 tour of the United States. Thereafter Mick played it during the Stones 1973 European tour and can be seen playing it during a rendition of 'Apolltical Blues' with Little Feat circa 1977. I saw Mick play this guitar a few times during the Blues Breakers reunion tour in the early '80s. Curious what happend to it after that.
IMHO Keith did not look as good with a Burst as Mick Taylor did playing one. But Keith looked great playing a black beauty! The BB look fit Keith to a tee! Like a old outlaw gunslinger such as Billy the kid or Jesse James! 😁
For those who clicked on the video for the Mick Taylor's Exile guitar & want to skip this boomers boring life story they start talking about it around the 10 minute mark
Yeah the current owners life bio was not needed at all here. This video was about a 1959 burst guitar that was with the stones in the past so beyond how he attained it and the guitars full history the rest is pointless.
😂😂...the famous 'underrated' comment!🐈 there's always one to tell us... or the "should be in Hall of Fame" clichē... Did the guy have talent? Ask John Mayall or the Rolling Stones, they picked him a few decades ago...
Mick Taylor was one of the main reasons I picked up the guitar as a kid. It took many years later for me to purchase a Gibson Les Paul R8 with the 1958 Gibson Les Paul that Mick Taylor played for a fraction of the cost of the real thing LOL. With the Custom shop R8, R9, and R0 I chose the R8. Strange that I have medium hands but I love the baseball bat neck, more meat and potatoes if you will. The R8 is my number one, great story guys most of us can't afford the real thing but what they are doing in the Gibson Custom Shop is fantastic.
@@hewitc I personally don’t have that issue and on my Gibson Les Paul Special with a basic rap around the only bridge it’s supposed to be worse but for me it isn’t.
That’s another mystery cleared up then! I’ve often looked at images of the various Stones bursts and wondered what happened to them. There was so much drugs and money around I bet at the time they didn’t much care.
Wonder why Gibson put on the script "Les Paul model" silk screen logo after the headstock was already sprayed? Like Bob said these come off just from cleaning the headstock but if they has sprayed the headstock'after the script logo was applied it would have lasted indefinitely? I seen a few old Burst's that still have a really clean script? Makes me wonder?
Yeah i just seen about that. I was blown away at that other Darkburst Slash owns!😱 It looks new even has the gloss still! No fade or bad chips at all. it is a freak of nature to see a 59 in that condition and still be all original!
Luv to see an exile tribute session because we ain't ever gonna see it from the Stoners. Exile part 2 the real exile but I guess it's down to Mick Taylor only he really knows the score. But it's some meta fabulation. The Stoners greatest track ever was Hillside Blues for my money. It all clicked on that track.
Great vidéo , Bob and Simon conversation tell us an amazing story and Ramon's playing is beautiful and pay's tribute to Mick' s style and musical legacy ;Cheers !
I guess I could consider the frets as consumables as well. But sadly seems that refrets really burst the value, idk how, especially when dealing with a 58 with the small frets. Adding some nice medium jumbos to a 58 will really transform it. I have a 2016 R8 with the small frets, and just in its short life with me, I’ve played it as my number one for the last 4 years since I’ve bought it, and the frets are really starting to wear down. She’s turning into a fretless wonder 😂. I’ll definitely be having to regret it, I could care less if it lowers the value, if the guitar isn’t playable, then what’s the point. Not like I’m going to ever sell it. I’ve got around 35 guitars, I’m not one to sell guitars very often. They just become such apart of me, almost like children. They all have their own sound, stories, and memories.
What became of the Ya ya's burst? I remember being a 7 year old kid starting at that guitar on the cover wanting one! Mick Taylor is my earliest influence because of that "Gimme shelter" movie which i seen hundreds of times since first seeing it at 9 years old. Unfortunately Mick did not play a burst in the footage on that one but did on "ladies and gentlemen" a few years later which really made me want one!

There are a bunch of great pics of Keith with it in the Jim Marshall The Rolling Stones 1972 book. You see that odd strap button that they are referencing. Fantastic!
Mick Taylor’s plain(er) top sunburst couldn’t have been bought during the LA sessions following France. It is on the cover of Ya-Ya’s and is seen during the UK tour in ‘71. Might even be seen during the European tour in ‘70. I imagine there are photos of it from Nellcote too. This guitar - Claw - could well have been purchased during those LA sessions though. I don’t believe there are photos of it with the Stones earlier than that. Mick played his plain top during the ‘72 and early ‘73 tours then favoured this during the ‘73 European tour. There is a well known photo of Mick with his plain top and this guitar, smiling, sitting down somewhere. Edit: the photo around 26:45 looks like Mick’s plain top at Nellcote, with his SG in the background. Lots of the photos in the montage are Mick’s plain top, not Claw.
So it is the Les Paul from that photo session of Keith sitting playing with the yellow Stones logo shirt? I remembered that that had Schallers when they were discussing it and you feature a single image from that photo session. Edit: Oh wow. So it is. Looked at one of those Jim Marshall pics and you can clearly see that stripe between the pickups. That's my favourite ever set of photos of Keith.
Great show. I remember talking to some session guys a long while ago who met Mick Taylor on a session and said he didn’t read ? ( as if he had to, of course ) but it made me wonder if that could have affected his career, probably not.
Is that supposed to sound like Mr Taylor or an imposter? THe biggest mistake in rock n roll history was the misplacement of "Mick Taylor" and "Ronnie Wood". Everybody with half an ear lost big on that one. MIck 's sound went down the drain when he left the Stones and picked up a Stratocaster; his sound never came back?

Hi all, Mick Taylor is a very underrated guitarist. Saw him do a great job with John Mayall for his 70 birthday concert. Wonder what he does right now... Cheers to you guys, as always nice show & playing ! René
@@zentrall-heiser1838 it's you who doesn't know... Rock connaisseurs know perfectly how good Mick Taylor was. J Mayall knew ..the Rolling Stones knew...what more proof do you need??🐈 You're going tó answer: who is Mayall, who are the Stones 😊
Yes. Gear problems almost every time, thank god for iPhone and iPad backup. In this case it was simply a dodgy lead. One day, ALL the tech will,work at the same time. It doesn’t help that many of our videos pare ‘outside broadcasts’ - we don’t have a regular/permanent studio setup we can just walk into and record.

Great episode. I love Mick Taylor. Great playing on the opening and outro tracks. Thanks.
Bravo! You chaps do a very fine show. I really enjoyed learning this history. PS Goose was sublime on the intro.

What is Simons last name???? What band did he play???
His band was Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias and his name, from Wikipedia, is Simon White. They were in the film, Urgh! A Music War.

I love the Les Paul and 335 but so hard to keep the G in tune on these Gibsons. Is it me?
@@hewitc I personally don’t have that issue and on my Gibson Les Paul Special with a basic rap around the only bridge it’s supposed to be worse but for me it isn’t.
@@hewitc you can always upgrade to locking tuners but for me it kind of takes away from its charm but I’m stubborn lol
@@michaelheller8841 It's only on the G. Maybe the nut is worn. It's the one that is bent the most.
What an amazing story and what a fantastic sounding guitar! The music showcases it perfectly.
Thanks for watching 🙏

'Oh, by the way mate, that was Mick Taylor's.'
Excellent video!

Sounds like a lot of fret buzz. No?
No not really, might be my playing as I'm heavy handed!
YA a second hand guitar 😮 A Stolen SECOND HAND GUITAR 😮
Jeez. If ghosts could talk a lot of swear words 😂
1981 mick taylor Stopped Getting Payed from the Stones😢
in 1959 Gibson made 630 sunburst Les Pauls and 3,000 people own one...
Such a wonderful playing such a wonderful history and instrument amazing episode buddy
I read in the stones gear book that jagger Richard and Taylor jointly owned a 59 les Paul
Forgive me my ignorance, but could someone identify the interviewer and interviewee for me please?

The headstock was definitely modified.
Yup and I think the neck has been shaved in the seventies style too
The pickup covers getting rounded corners as the years went by was, I believe,
was due to the sheet metal stamping tool's wearing down
My boyfriend has had a standing cash offer of 400K on that guiar. Maybe not enough now but wait for six months?
He thankfully did not jump on the strat bandwagon.

That’s my point ! Because of this he should have been much more appreciated and famous…

Such soulful playing and a great chat with Simon 👍
