Its great that he is playing with the band but someone posted above the Stones proved they are the greatest before MT took the stage last November. Yes, that's true.

QuoteCarnaby Quotevermontoffender I think the Stones saved Mick Taylor. So, your post is incorrect. Good response. While I don't think anyone "saved" the RS, it was Ronnie, not Taylor, that got the Stones back to the original Brian Jones double rhythm. The Stones understood that, that is why Ronnie has been around 30 years while Taylor was there four. But Taylor was chosen at th
