Quotesvt22 Taylor is playing an early 7-tees Ampeg and a priceless guitar. I hope he will also sound again like he did in the 7-tees. I'm not interested in the legal proceedings of this case. Music is made for ears. That's nonsensical. Ownership is a pretty straightforward matter, not something you can argue about in musical terms. You chose to bring it up in the first place.

Quotesvt22 @ 71tele: As far as I understand it JA owes one of MT's Gibsons. Don't know why, and if its the one Taylor currently plays on. You're misinformed. Or maybe easily misled. As I tried to point out above, the statement is from an unreliable source.

Quotestupidguy2 Agree. Why the snipping from all these naysayers. MT seems to having a blast, feeling appreciated etc... It's silly to expect him to sit in on the entire show. Jeez people. This is epic and some of you are nitpicking. Plus, touring at that level is tough, physically grueling and the Stones are used to it. MT has been playing small gigs for decades now. He might not be in as

Quotesonomastone My theory after attending last night is that he's not handling his drink well. Explains the sloppy kisses, pete townsend arm waving, dancing rather than playing guitar, and the band not asking him to play on more songs. I didn't get the feeling that he would have made "dead flowers" or "brown sugar" better in the shape that he was in last night. Still great to

Quoteslew Keith seems in good shape its a short tour but will be interesting to see if he gets better as he used to or if he gets tired. Its a lot of travel for a 70 year old who has more wear on him then most. My guess is he will play better and not pose. For the Northern American tour it's only 7 different bases to travel from. There are always days off between shows and he has a team of as

QuoteJumpinJeppeFlash Spot on, over soloing, could not agree more. Rambler ok but please no more songs in Hyde Park. MT has not been a part of that Stonessound in a long time. People who likes Les Paul guitarplayers with endless solos should listen to other bands. I don't think MT will show up at rehearsals either. Fortunately, it really doesn't matter what you think.

QuoteSundanceKid It is worth noting that the cheques from Performing Rights Societies (a system of European origin) amount to very little unless you have an official writer's credit on a major hit. In US the non-composers (performing artists) were never entitled to any payments for public performance of their sound recordings. In other words, the authors would receive royalties when their songs

Quote2000 LYFH Wonder how much he makes in an average year from Stones royalties alone? Very little. Due to the Stones withholding the royalties they owe him (morally and legally) from their own record label, Rolling Stones Records, ABKCO is the only record company that pays Mick Taylor royalties over sales of Stones records.
