I'm not going to ask anybody (certainly not Marlies (hi!)), But Taylor isn't such a wreck he is these days due to Coke Zero.

Why not ask her?You better do,cause there is not a grain of truth in it!
Your approach to Mr Taylor as a person is below zero Mathijs ,to say the least
Shall I ask her for you?
She's one of the persons who keeps rewriting Taylor's history.
And don't accuse me of a "below zero" approach, you absolutely have no idea what you're talking about.

We've been through this a bunch of times and it never fails to amaze me. Writing songs isn't like writing a book. No one believes Mick Taylor walked in with a completed composition (words and music) and presented it to the band. He contributed during recording sessions. He added solos that changed the shape of songs and made them more memorable. If Mick and Keith were "good guys," would they have given him songwriting credit for his contributions then or now? Sure. Are Mick and Keith mean, greedy bastards so embittered by being ripped off by others that they will take advantage of whoever they can? Yeah, I imagine so. Do I honestly believe Mick Taylor sits around all day knowing he could walk in a solicitor's office and present legal documents that would make him millions? Of course not. Many musicians are not that businesss savvy, but they're also not conjugal idiots. If Taylor is bright enough to know these alleged documents exist and show proof to someone posting here, he would also be bright enough to do something about it. It may strike some as romantic to think Mr. Taylor's integrity is so great, he will wait for the Glimmers to do right by him even if it takes till the end of his life. I prefer to think that along with being an exceptionally talented guitarist, Mick Taylor possesses enough intelligence to function. This isn't Syd Barrett we're talking about. This is a bit like the people who believe Brian Jones picking the band's name from a Muddy Waters song gives his heirs intellectual property rights. The sad truth is, if Mick Taylor sued for songwriting royalties, the courts would say too much time has elapsed. He could have tried it in 1974, maybe even in 1981, but not in 2008. Was he taken advantage of? Yep. Does he really have any kind of claim? Of course not, unless someone can prove to me the guy is the Rainman of rock 'n' roll.

I read this very carefully and have to add some words :
1. Mr. Lighting have apsolutely right about Promogroup and about sharing profits.
2. Mr. R. Dijon explained very well how problem about song credits begins.
3. My question is : How Bill Wyman (he said that he nearly wrote JJF and PI and Mick Taylor never repeat in theirs solo works this amazing moments of creativity? They wasn't with Stones < I know but JJF, PIB, CYHMK, Sway, Winter are masterpices. Why they didn't repeat little bit (slightly)???

I would imagine JAMMING WITH EDWARD where Mr. Cooder shares songwriting credits alongside his credited and compensated work as a session guitarist on LET IT BLEED and STICKY FINGERS (albeit two years after the fact in the latter case) settled the legal requirements Mr. Cooder had with the Stones following the PERFORMANCE soundtrack sessions. All that's left is Mr. Cooder's perhaps justified bad feelings that tracks like "Honky Tonk Women" and "Midnight Rambler" bear his imprint. You can't sue for influence and you can't prove you originated something that doesn't exist. Its the old success has many fathers, failure is an orphan scenario. I don't doubt Mick and Keith take everything they can from others. When enough people claim it, there's bound to be truth somewhere. I do doubt they do it in a fashion that anyone could legally contest and win. Again, with so many wronged collaborators out there (Brian, Bill, Mick T., Ronnie, Ry, Gram, Dr. John, etc.) someone somewhere would have taken action and won.

In the absence of anybody here shedding light upon the specific nature of Cooder's dispute, am I right to assume, by implication at least, that Jagger and Richards were quite literally stealing his ideas?

It's called a 'sponge' job. It is said Ry played on some of the basic tracks for Let It Bleed. Keith re-did Ry's guitar parts note fore note and then wiped Ry's contribution. The fact that Keith never really played slide guitar before this album and basically didn't again after is telling.

Calling someone a coke addict since 1972,and calling him a wreck,and some more "nice" things about M.Taylor,and not even accepting that somebody doesn't agree on this?
Who are you then,the king of this site?

Hand of Fate and Broken Hands are basically build from the same riff. I guess this is something MT brought to Stones but as you can hear it ended up being different songs.
