dailymail.co.uk — When the Rolling Stones were revealed last week to be music?s biggest current earners, making ?77million a year, one man who played a key part in their success could be forgiven for not joining in any celebrations. Mick Taylor, guitarist on some of the Stones? best albums, now has a lifestyle far removed from the excesses of the rock circuit...

Actually, once a stone stops rolling, it's perfectly capable of gathering moss.

Taylor is an amazing guitarist with a unbelievably smooth and flowing style. I've been trying to learn all his solos note for note on the guitar. I personally like his playing far better than Clapton's but I'll admit Clapton was the first English guitar hero and so everyone that followed was standing on the shoulders of a giant.

@Mabu:Exactly, but it's never just about money; there's the self-fulfillment aspect as well.Hence my comment that I hope he's found something that really matters, over simply surviving.

It's too bad they (the stones), weren't allowed to release a live album during Taylor's era (except Ya-Ya's). Oh well that's the good thing about bootlegs I guess!

retire or rock on? taylor leaving was a pretty big blow, but i guess they recovered...? maybe he really is better off - who are we to judge? personally, i'd rather grow old and fat out of the public eye, wouldn't you?<a class="user" href="http://www.culturecloud.com/Articles/00001747/Retire_or_Rock_On.aspx">http://www.culturecloud.com/Articles/00001747/Retire_or_Rock_On.aspx</a>
