Their "one last great album" was Tattoo You - it's the Stones' "Let It Be" - recorded mainly around/before Some Girls ("Abbey Road" in the Beatles' case), but finished and released afterwards. Everything ever since were "one too many". Still some nice songs on them, but no more classics. Repetitions of a winning formula. As a standalone, the Some Girl

Quotemarianna The problem is the weavers no longer weave. Ron Wood isn't playing too badly, but Keith is all over the place. Charlie's skills seem to have diminished, too, and I'm not sure that's related to the guitars or not. I've heard clips of Charlie sitting in with bands besides the Stones in the past few years, such as jazz outfits, and he doesn't sound too good on them. He was a solid time

QuoteVT22 Quotekleermaker [ I don't think it's a matter of practising scales, however useful that might be. Of course he can do better, but then again MR is not the most suited song for fluid, beautiful lines, Taylor's brand. So we can judge that only if he plays on more regular songs instead of on a long jam-like song like MR is nowadays played (not so much a choice of Taylor I guess, but a

QuoteDoxa That's the least inspired "Rambler" so far. Taylor sounds a bit bored (alraedy?), and the chemistry between the guitarists is a bit lost.

I think one should understand that Taylor being back has nothing to do with music or any artistic gains. He is just used for selling tickets, for making older, retired fans part with their money once again. Huge money, that is. This may sound harsh, but it's the truth. At this point in time, it's all about business.

A true guitar hero - at least for me. Instantly recognizable style. Incredible stage presence. Do yourself a favour and check out his Rockpalast gig from the late 70's with his Solid Senders, currently downloadable on HungerCity. His version of Dylan's Highway 61 there is stunning beyond words - simply a killer performance. All the best from me, Wilko.
