Yeah! I really think Mick T was the business. What a sensational player he was, and although I love B&B, and Some Girls; I always thought after Taylor left they lost a lot of melody. Ronnie Wood was OK at first, but over the years he became a liability. Some English rock journo' Barnay something said, after Taylor left, the Stones took the soft option with Wood, it wasn't really a very challenging move. I remember when the change occurred; I knew they'd go for Wood, for better,or worse.
His solo LPs are dismal, he's a liability, and now I just see him as a joke. He really is like some demented cartoon character, his book bored me nearly as much as Bill's roll call of sexual encounters.
Maybe they shoulda taken a risk back in 75/76, and plumbed for a guitarist like Taylor. I have my thoughts on much better candidates but, it would take too long to express. Taylor inspired them to greater heights than anyone. Hands down!
