Mick Taylor, a name synonymous with guitar mastery and rock 'n' roll legend, left an indelible mark on the iconic band, The Rolling Stones. His tenure, though relatively brief, was a golden era for the band, marked by unparalleled musical brilliance and creativity.
Despite his immense talent and contributions, Taylor's time with the Stones came to an end in 1974. Internal tensions and personal struggles led to his departure, leaving a void that would be difficult to fill. However, his legacy remained intact, and his influence on the band's sound continues to be felt to this day.
Post-Stones, Taylor embarked on a successful solo career, showcasing his versatility and enduring talent. While his time with the Rolling Stones may be his most celebrated chapter, his contributions to the world of music as a whole are immeasurable. Mick Taylor's name will forever be etched in the annals of rock history as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

So tired of the insane M Taylor worship by the UT crowd (interesting you open with the best R&R guitar open ever... 100% Keith Richards)...
The guy made a living and is a fine player, but really he didn't do a damn thing of any consequence after leaving The Stones... so please give it a rest already!
Keith is one of the most innovative guitar players in the history of R&R. and he and Mick ARE The Rolling Stones... the second guitar is and always was simply fill for the live shows.
😂😂😂😂
The SECOND GUITAR?
I can tell YOU'RE NOT A MUSICIAN 😂
Mick Taylor was THE LEAD GUITARIST! Which (for the benefit of you layman) is UNIVERSALLYconsidered the FIRST GUITARIST
Keith Richard's is just a RYTHM GUITARIST. He's NOT EVEN A SECOND GUITARIST 😅
Technically second guitarists in bands sometimes are good enough to be LEAD guitarists and trade off with the No. 1 guy... like in Steely Dan for instance...
Keith can't even PLAY LEAD!🤣🤣🤣
Ok....
Ronnie Woods best playing was with the Faces and Keith had a hard on to join that band because that way he could do lots of Heroin with his pal Ronnie.
The Stones would have fallen apart of they did not take the new direction they did with Mick.
He was by far the best guitar player they ever had and he kept them from becoming stale which is where they have been since they finished recording the Some Girls album.
That is 45 years of nothing as good as the Taylor version of the Rolling Stones and not being able to do a decent live cover of the songs they recorded with him.
@@coreyjsilva3534 Oh, Oh, someone got triggered...
To quote Mr. Lennon, you simply "haven't got a clue!" Sparky... So do tell us how many million sellers he had after he left.
You're just parroting these M Tayler worship UT vids. Do you notice the songs he talks about contributing to are almost all obscure album tracks, not the stacks of iconic hits Keith drove with his legendary guitar work... Mick Taylor filled in some of the studio overdubs. (and did a very good job) for the live shows and the studio work (or second guitar work)
But hey, you're free to share your opinion... and so am I.
Here's " Rhythm Player" Keith tearing it up for Clapton and the legend, Chuck Berry...

Who cares!!
If you are tired, take a nap!!
Can’t you hear me knocking, his solo is magical
the live solo on sympathy for the devil, get your ya ya's out was his masterpiece to me, also time waits for no one, winter, stray cat blues on get your ya ya's out, the list is a long one .
No doubt, the best version of the band. They were at their absolute peak with Taylor.
It may be true Mick Taylor “wasn’t a Rolling Stone” in attitude. But musically, yes, he was! And that’s what counts for me! He was definitely under-appreciated!
@williamlangan5902 Right. Exactly. This really SHOULD go WITHOUT NEED OF BEING SAID...
I mean... are people even thinking through what they are talking about???
"Wasn't a true Stone"... IN ATTITUDE???
Who even THINKS STUFF THAT STUPID? Severly Handicapped Children?
Mick Taylor the best years of the stones ,genius of a man
Mick Taylor’s masterpiece solo with The Stones is “Time Waits For No One.”
Yeah. 100%
Met Taylor and got his autograph backstage after his Dublin solo show 2001. His contribution on those albums '69/74 will always be standout🎸💎☘️
Mick T was in the band when I was young and played Sticky Fingers over and over again on a little suitcase stereo and table. I leafed back and forth through the cover art and photos. This was my own musical coming of age. Imagine, growing up in real time when albums like Sticky Fingers, Exile and Goats Head…and on. What do kids have today? Nothing. Garbage. My formative years and memories included Mick Taylor. His departure was a death blow. Not a knock on Ronnie. But Mick T just made every song better. The Glimmer Twins had no idea how Taylor’s musicality actually made the appeal of each track better. Too bad they didn’t embrace him
Keefer found himself playing second fiddle to Taylor's guitar BRILLIANCE..
Mick Taylor, ein überragender bemerkenswerter Gitarrist, war ein Natur- Talent...seine Zeit bei den Rolling Stones hinterließ daher eine große Lücke...er war sich seines Talent's so bewusst, das er sehr sicher und souverän auftreten konnte und seine Beiträge den Stones riesige Erfolge brachten...
Das Schicksal hatte wohl anderes mit ihm vor, warum, kann wohl keiner ergründen...
Aber diese gemeinsame Zeit mit den Stones hat tolle, bleibende Songs hervor gebracht....🎵🎶🔝
Danke!🍀
So schwer war es nicht zu ergründen !
Er kam mit 19 zu ihnen. Man überlege sich, was damals bei ihnen vorging und wie man beeinflussbar in dem Alter ist .
Drogenkonsum war für ihn ebenso ein Thema, wie für Keith und Mick. Eine gewisse Eifersucht, die von Keith ausging dürfte wohl nicht ausgeschlossen sein.
Ich sah ihn in den 90ern und Anfang der 2000er ein paar mal .
Einmal ging er sehr dicht an mir vorbei,
Ein Parfümladen richt ziemlich neutral gegen seine damaligen Ausdünstungen !!!!
Aber davon abgesehen wirkte alles andere als selbstbewusst!
Ohne Frage ist sein Spiel absolut „outstanding“
Eines meiner ganz großen Einflüsse
Er verspielt sich auf „cant you hear me knocking“ einmal im solo , schon mal gehört ??
Sie haben es so gelassen !😊
Find ich gut !!!!!!!
I look at Mick Taylor as a Saturn V booster rocket that put The Rolling Stones in orbit where they remain to this day.
“Exile” is quintessential stones, and MT songs like “Moonlight Mile” are some of their best.
I’m 66 and I approve this message
I am 65, and I approve your message.! Cool that you brought up Apollo Saturn.5 rocket booster, Apollo was a God to me as a kid.
Charlie watts said if none of the rest of us had ever existed and mick met Keith there would have been a band and it would have sounded like The Rolling Stones beggars banquet is by far best stones album and it was recorded one year before Taylor joined band a big part of the problem is people are ignorant don’t read books don’t know who played what on what song
You are too young missed the first stones years that propelled them to equal status critically with Beatles exile came very late in the day seventy two seventies were the b side of the sixties musically
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
"Can You Hear Me Knocking"
and
"Time Waits for No One"
are masterpieces. Mick Taylor's contributions were so valuable.
As co-arrangers, musicians including Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Nicky Hopkins, Mick Taylor, Bobby Keys, Billy Preston, Ron Wood, Daryl Jones, etc. deserve a lot of praise for their contributions to the Stones' Sound.
I agree. Golden era, it is a pity he left. He was outstanding with the Rolling Stones, only with the Rolling Stones.
Exile is the best Album of All times ❤
Let it Bleed
@@taylordwwhich Taylor had nothing to do with 😂
@@fuchsiaswing8545I’m pretty sure he was a fully integrated member of the band and played on most of the record. Did Charlie Watts also have nothing to do with it?
@@apollos_revival Taylor had nothing to do with Let It Bleed. It was a finished album when he joined the band. He plays on two tracks: “Country Honk” and “Live With Me.” And, yes, they were already written songs. Taylor merely provided dubbing work. His coming out party was on the 1969 American Tour, which resulted in the seminal live album Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out (1970), and he left his first real studio mark with the band on Sticky Fingers.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 I thought you were referring to Exile, my bad. That said, I thought “Live With Me” was live tracked.
Time waits for no one. Classic.
If Mick Taylor had not joined the Stones the band wouldn't be around today. They would have split back then.
no doubt without mick taylor the stones would not have gotten to where they are today, he made them the best
I agree. Mick gave them enough swagger that the remaining member have been milking since he left the band almost 50 years ago.
I agree and disagree. By the time Taylor entered the band, the Stones were already clicking on all cylinders and recorded Beggars Banquet and much of Let It Bleed. He did, however, elevate their stature as a live act and brought an extra dynamism to the group that led to some of their best material. That said, the Stones’ peak era coincides with more than Taylor; it’s Jimmy Miller, Nicky Hopkins, and the songwriting growth of Mick and Keith. It was a perfect storm of parts coming together at the right time.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 Jimmy and Nicky deserve much more credit then has been given and let’s not forget Mr Keys
@briangrace1420.thats because he was the best looker of the other stones women were😍😍😍😋😋😉😉😜😜😜🤤🤤and his honky tonky women on their bedroom walls id say😎🎸🤩🎸😍🤩🎸😃😍🤩🤗🎸😱🙋♀️💃👯♂️🎸✊👍🤟💖
Nonsense Taylor came in long after stones had reached equal status with Beatles he was a great player but wrote zero songs satisfaction last time paint it black jumpin jack flash sympathy for the devil he had nothing to do with any of those songs not gimme shelter either all guitar parts for studio version best version of that song were done by Keith read keiths book Stanley booths book problem is today people are ignorant don’t read books that’s why seventy four million idiots voted for a toxic moron like trump
Mick Taylor was the perfect addition at the time and without him they never would have had the momentum that carried them through to today. He was there at the absolute height musically
I was and still am not that big of a Rolling Stones fan but , Exile on Main Street is without a doubt one of my favorite records of all time. A great album to practice along with.
what a great homage to Mick Taylor & The Stones. Still, the solo on Sympathy for the devil on Get your YaYas out is the Pinnacle of Mick's genius
The golden years of the rolling stones,1971/1974…. became the greatest rock and roll bwnd in the world..
The right guitarrist for the Stones in the right time, 70's, with the right age.. Usually said that the top of criativity is late 20's beginning of 30's..Get Yer it's a wonderful live album, should be double album but I understand.. Sticky Fingers, Exile, Goat and It's Only R&R.. Amazing álbuns.. The first 70's, until 75..."Don't know why" but the best álbuns of other Groups too...! 69-75 golden years..! But.. Always the but, in 78 Some Girls follow the times, a backlash in music with Punk and after New Wave with stunning nem Groups and sounds.. The Stones adapted to this times perfectly, Some Girls, Emotional Rescue, and the great Tattoo You.. Extraordinary Band.. I'm a Stones fan, come on, but Exile fits perfectly in 72...Some Girls fits perfectly in 78. ..Was a teen.. Mick Taylor was really a great guitar player that fits perfectly with the Four and all create stunning songs that time..! After, Ron Wood feet perfect in the Stones and specially with Keith on stage..! The Paris 76 concert is Great..! Right man in the right place in the right band.. In Black and Blue sessions lot of them, Wayne Perkins, Harvey Mandel, the guitarrist of a great band that time Natural Gas Don't remember now), Rory Gallagher was great, have a pack of four DVD's Rory Gallagher Live, but he wanted is career.. Complicated life and unfortunately die. RIP. Ronnie Wood was chosen and well... Honestly I don't see Mick Taylor doing great tours trough the 90's and 2000's... That's life and thank you very much a lot Mr Mick Taylor..! We all still hearing the golden years álbuns, but also the next ones.. That's it.. No nostalgy, simply hearing... Come on, 60 years on the road.. Not the same but still rocking.. The last tour that they were completely genuine was 81 in USA & 82 in Europe.. Was the first time I saw them.. In Madrid, 48 degrees and huge thunderstorm.. Today I heard in CZcams "Glimmer Stone" the Philadelphia 81 concert..! Not the great Solos but really just a pure Rock and Roll Band... Straight to the point.. Regards to everyone
Mick Taylor saves the Stones when Brian was fired and Keith battled his own demons. The Stones were a great band before Taylor (and Ry Cooder) but Taylor played (just as Ry Cooder) on my fav Stones albums.
Cant you hear me knocking is a masterpiece.
And Mick did nothing but some pedestrian rhythm... that's all Keith (BTW I don't count the Santana rip off "jam" and have no idea why it was left on the recording)... here is what Mick contributed for all of the "experts" out there :-)
czcams.com/video/LTdt5RaUUuk/video.html
(BTW... not quite sure if you're taking sides Steve... but you sure nailed the best R&R intro ever and it just keeps on rockin')
@michael52250 not taking sides. Just of my Stones favorites, no matter who contributed.
Mick Taylor is the Best guitarman of stones ever. Sorrir my englich.
sorry....
Sorry, but Keith Richards is the best and Ron Wood is the best partner for him. Mick Taylor was the wrong player for the Stones. I think, he didn't really understand their music. His noodling didn't fit to their Rock'n'Soul.
@@karlwanninger7675you re wrong
@@karlwanninger7675 He wasn't the wrong player. He played great, he just wanted to do something different. He left the Stones and joined up with Jack Bruce a much different type of gig.
@@MrAschiff Yeah, that was the best idea he ever had and he was the wrong player for the Stones.
Rest in peace( Charlie ) Your not forgotten Godbless you Amen 🙏💖
Définitivement un grand guitariste qui correspond à la meilleure période des Stones.
Mick Taylor brought the Stones to their highest peak, dropped after Mick left. They owe him a lot of money and acceptance.
Mick Taylor period is tge best era of stones way underated I love his country influence bad ass
Mick did good leaving the Stones
He survived, damaged but survived
Brian left too late
Mick Taylor is a guitar players guitar player!❤
Wow, a lot of these comments seem to be very emotionally invested. What is undeniable is that Taylor brought a spark to a searching band. It worked out pretty well through five albums. They might have split up but for the the new energy and input. Gave them a jumpstart when they needed it, simple as that
The Rolling Make made the finest Rock & Roll History until Now...!!!
• Jagger/Richards are some of the best songwriters in Rock n Roll history.
• Mick Taylor elevated their live shows and contributed to their evolving sound in the studio.
BOTH CAN BE TRUE
He should have stayed with the blues and stayed away from the pop stones but i guess the money sucked him in. Such a great blues rock guitarist.
The first few albums he was with them up through Exile were among the Stones best to me. The last two were the low point of their entire career to me. Woodie doesn't do a whole lot for me but he fits in and he did invigorate their sound when he joined. The marriage between Mick and the Stones was like Glen Campbell and Tanya Tucker's romance.
You don't know what you got til it's gone....
You pave paradise and put up a parking lot !
The Rolling Stones were a really good band when they started out then grew into a great band in the late sixties before briefly, in the early seventies, becoming the greatest rock and roll band in the world. After Mick Taylor left the band they switched to being a real good adult contemporary band for a couple of albums before spending the remaining decades selling out stadiums as a legacy act.
The Rolling Stones will always be at its core a Jagger/Richards/Watts sound but the spark that lit it up in brilliance were Mick Taylor and Brian Jones.
Selling out stadiums as a legacy act- you nailed it.
Around 1994-5, I found myself alone with Mick Taylor and had to say, “You must get this all the time, but why’d you leave the Stones?” He was a really sweet guy and said “You’d be surprised how often DON’T get asked that question…I’ll tell you exactly why I left the Stones…I wrote 4 songs with Mick Jagger(for what I believe he said was for “Goat’s Head Soup”)because Keith was too out of it to write with Jagger. Jagger made a big deal about being excited that these 4 songs were going to be the first Jagger-Taylor songwriting credits. When the album came out, everything was credited to Jagger-Richards and nothing was ever said. I knew then, I was leaving, I just had to pick my moment.” He didn’t know me from Adam and wouldn’t know me now, but you can tell he felt aggrieved.
Bottom line is Keith and Mick are snobs and took Taylor for granted. Everyone thinks they are these down to earth cool cats that make catchy riffs but they are a well oiled machine that is put together by the likes of studio musicians and producers under the $ machine Jaggers/Richards. Keith smeared that in when he made sure Mick didn't give any credit to Taylor cuz in the end its a 50/50 split n there ain't no getting between a rich mans $$
Interesting, I always assumed it was Jagger that didn’t want to give credit. Keef gave Taylor credit on “Ventilator Blues” because it was Taylor’s riff.
There were only a few guitarists on his level in 1969. Clapton, Beck, Page, Hendrix, and Peter Green. And none of them were available. They were lucky to get him, and dumb to let him walk away.
Rest in peace( Charlie ) Your not forgotten Godbless you Amen 🙏💖.Also *Rest in peace to Brian Godbless you Amen 🙏🕊🕊🦋🦋🌹🌹💐💐🎸🥁🙏🙏🕊🕊
He wasnt a bad looking guy in his hay day😍😋😉🤩😍😍😍🤤😜❤
What about Ian Stewart? The true genious behind Rolling Stones. He never get any cred for his fantastic playing in songs like Let's spend the night together and Sympathy for the D
".. after Brian Jone's departure..." ? I think you mean after his death.
The best music The Stones ever produced was with Mick Taylor - even now 'Exile On main Street' is constantly voted the best ever Stones album and it's all down to Taylor's superb guitar work. The same with Goats Head Soup. Ronnie Wood is a great musician. He proved that with The Faces, but he wasn't the virtuoso that Taylor was. That was the reason John Mayall wanted him with the Bluesbreakers, a band which launched three of the best guitarists in history - Mick Taylor, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, - and sveral of the best bassists - John McVee, Jack Bruce and Andy Fraser who went on to Free. Fraser was just fifteen when he joined Mayall and had to have his parents consent to tour with Free.
Exile was keiths album read his book and Stanley booths book consensus of stones members was that beggars banquet their best album even Taylor who doesn’t play on it says this they are right forty percent of exile filler
Is there a decent live recording of the Rolling Stones before Mick Taylor??
Awesome point…the answer is a resounding no!!
Javier Bardem should play Charlie Watts in the biopic. Dead ringer.
He almost didn't play on "Let it Bleed"
It would be plain stupid to say that a guitar player the caliber of Mick Taylor did not contribute to the writing department of the Rolling Stones, and also not hard to believe that Mick and Keith failed to give Taylor any credit for his contributions.
I wish they kept MT in the band, lost opportunity
Ever think it was the stones that changed Taylor not the other way round
Pretty sure Mick Taylor did not play on Let it Bleed. They had booted Brian Jones out of The Stones for partying too much ( kinda funny- Keith was part of that decision). Keith played rhythm and lead guitar on that album. It's all Keith.
The live shows with Mick T from 1969 to 1974 are vastly superior to the post MT era. Don't believe me? Have a listen to Get Yer Ya Yas Out, then listen to Love You Live - the latter is quite disappointing in comparison.
Ever think it was the stones that changed Taylor
You tube won’t print anything against Taylor do I gave up
We deserve better than a bot narrating this.
Mick Taylor ruined my suit!
Oh, wait,....no, that was Dick Tailor. My bad.
Exile best they ever did.
They still rocking without Brian jones ( rip ) or mick Taylor . Who are you coming up with next ? What about credit where is due mick , keith , Charlie, ron , bill . All those years without Taylor or Brian and they are still there 👍🇦🇺
The 2nd guitar just fill? NAH, MICK Taylor had finesse , taste, ideas...
Perhaps the stones changed Mike Taylor
Face it , they never made a decent record after Taylor left .
They left the UK because the government brought in a 95% tax rate. As George Harrison wrote in the Beatles Taxman: one for me nineteen for you…
3 other major contributers to the stones during this period was nicky hopkins and ian stewart on piano and bobby keys on sax. they added a much needed "ooomph" to the stones.
mick taylor was a better guitarist but ron wood was a better rolling stone. ron was more their age and their mindset i think. i have an original copy of mayall's blues breakers "bare wires" album that featured mick. it was great and mick was a major reason the album is as good as it is. personally i believe the 4 albums that preceded "goats head soup" were, musically, the stones best 4 albums. "its only rock and roll" was the stones' last really great song. but how they were convinced to wear those stupid sailor suits in the video is beyond me. thanks for the video.
About 5-6 songs from the Wood era are classic, the rest are crap. The Stones died when Taylor left and they did not need to. The Stones should have gotten a new lead guitarist every five years or so. Every rock band needs a lead guitarist. Period. For example, Clapton or Jeff Beck would have been interesting. They could have kept Wood. Alas, Time Waits for No One.
Hisbsubsequent group with jack brucebwasbstillborn cuz if theirnherion addictions. Bbc and live tapes only legacy
Goat’s head soup. Appears to be interpretable as nothing else but them drowning in a pool of piss and as insulting as they could be to BJ.
MT was the only talented instrumentalist in the Stones. I love that band but they couldn’t play well. Comparing their musicianship to say Zeppelin, is like comparing my playing to Paganini.
Sure, they couldn't play at the virtuosic level of Zeppelin (aside from Taylor and some of their sidemen like Nicky Hopkins and Billy Preston). Still, even Jimmy Page said he always admired Keith, especially after playing together in 1973. He acknowledged how Keith was the band's driver and that writing indelible riffs is a special skill. Plus, the Stones never had a bad night in the Taylor era. A bad night? Hell, they never had a bad afternoon or night, as they often played two shows. They were phenomenal.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 I see you are easily entertained 😎
4:13 damn that guy can't sing
Mick Taylor was not that important. The golden times were those with Jimmy Miller as producer: from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Mainstreet! Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleet didn't have Mick Taylor and Goats Head Soup wasn't a big hit despite Mick Taylor. I realized that when I saw Taylor on the 50-Years Tour!
I won't go so far as @michael52250 (below), but I do think that this video greatly overstates the case. Certainly, Mick Taylor was the best lead guitarist the Stones ever had, and it's no coincidence that the band's peak years were the years with Taylor on lead. But the band's transformation began before he arrived, with "Beggar's Banquet." The Stones' sound was always defined by Keith Richard's rhythm guitar and his particular tunings. As for Taylor's songwriting contributions to "Sticky Fingers," "Sway" is utterly forgettable and the long jam on "Can't You Hear me Knocking" is a disaster. The song's first two minutes are spectacular, among the very best things the Stones ever did. Then, out of nowhere, comes the tedious, aimless jam that ruins it. I always skip ahead the second the changes comes.
Mick jagger is a selfish
Did you mean to say shellfish?
So much bullshit ...
My least favorite Stones era. The last thing I listen for in the Stones music is boring virtuosity.
.....make no mistake...Keith is King...KING..and is a class of his own guitarist ICON whose accomplishments are damn near mythical they're so huge...but they became a defining straight up blues band with Mick Taylor....he wasn't Keiths drinking buddy and didn't do the Ruby Tuesday pop shit.. yet they really complimented each other moving forward....he played the blues with great soul...in his early 20''s!....that Stones era reaches blues hallmarks right up there with the greatest blues music ever done......
More like the great guitarist who grew bigger than his shoes.
I think that sums up Taylor perfectly.
Except he said he never saw the Stones as a long term commitment when he joined. So he already had it mind he wouldn't be there forever. He got sick of the job.
The Stones were always a very sloppy, mediocre band. That´s why a decent guitar player like Mick Taylor stood out and was reviewed as a virtuoso, what he was not. But ok, Jagger wasn´t areal singer as well.
Mick Taylor to wspanialy gitarzysta na plytach na kturych gral to najleprze albumy Stones Wood to dziad w porownaniu z Tayorem
Does best lick in rock and roll
Wrong Taylor had nothing to do with satisfaction last time paint it black jumpin jack flash sympathy for the devil street fighting man all recorded before he joined band on the studio version the best version of gimme shelter all the guitar parts were played by Keith Taylor great on moonlight mile but jagger wrote the song he is also great on love in vain live and midnight rambler on ya yas stones best album beggars banquet was recorded one year before Taylor came in prodigal son is keiths incredible acoustic playing studio versions of you can’t always get what you want Taylor does not play on them at all Charlie watts said if none of the rest of us had ever existed and mick met Keith there would have been a band and it would have sounded like The Rolling Stones nuf we’d Keith band leader there were no recording sessions without riffmaster Keith read Stanley booths book
