Mick Taylor Solo from 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' (1970)

Another upload of a great Mick Taylor solo, this time from the Stones 1970 LP 'Sticky Fingers'. More of a rocker than his work on 'Time Waits For No One', Legend has it the song was supposed to end but Taylor just kept playing, and the rest of the band followed, turning what was going to be a 4 or 5 minute regular 'filler' album song into a 7:15 classic. Enjoy.

@rabudman

Thanks for the kind words, love to see a link to those other songs!

[tosa275]

Best melodic guitar players are MT,E.Clapton and Duane Allman in this business...Oh' Chris Rea too..

[texaswarhawk]

@tosa275

You're dead on about Chris Rea, can't understand why he never caught on here in the States. AMazing bottleneck player, bluesman and lyricist. In my Top3 of All Time with Taylor and Knopfler.

@gotmeinitsway Rolling Stone mag. is a fucking useless rag for morons. Greg Lake wasn't in the top 100 singers and TRaffic wasn't in the top 100 bands either ..LMFAO!! Wipe your ass with that shit publication and that FAGGOT Jann wenner can suck my cock too.

[MrJerryw08]

The Stones never kicked Taylor he quit. Keef and Mick loved the guy.

[kpzrocks]

Jann Wenner is an idiot. For some reason people think his word is God. There are bands that should be an haven't been inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame. He is an ass.. Rush for one..Reeeeaalllyyy????

God, it isn't/ He is an idiot.

@LanceHelmut shut the fuck up moron. the only thing unrefined it the sound of wenners balls slapping against your huge asshole.

[LanceHelmut]

@bustballz your opinions about g. lake and traffic are as unrefined as your language. i've got you down for an anti-semite with your remarks about j. wenner.

[kpzrocks]

I think Jann Wenner is an asshole. I know this is about Mick Taylor and he is a musical genius no two ways about it.. A legend. But what about the fact that Rush hasn't been inducted into the R.R. hall of fame"????? WTF??? NEIL PERT?? Mick Taylor is a master though.... Anyway Jann Wenner is a fuck head...

@swiggy58a Lastly kid, if your just a kid digging on classic rock, Way to go.. Good for you.. But if your not a young kid... Whoa, WOW, grow up dude.. control those feelings that mom and dad obviously never taught you to. This is UTube, u cant take some of these people personal, life is too short.. Keep Rockin kid...lol (i would like to think of you as a young (angry) man growing up like many others had to LOL rock on

[THXcooper]

@swiggy58a since you asked, although Watts was a pro that carried any song, more known as a rythem drummer (kinda like Ringo Starr) but to compare him to Charlie is just ignorant. Bonham was way more over the top bust out, innovative drummer. But who cares especially on a Stones vid.dont know y u brought it up. My comment that hurt your SENSITIVE SELF was said in satire, in jest about Mick&Keith's short well known, FAG fling. My bigger point was stating how great M.Taylor was W/stones

[THXcooper]

@swiggy58a Your funny. I guess i hurt your FEELINGS. First of all, as you said, this is not a contest. So why you brought Zep into this ,only you know. And thank there are many differences differences between us. But your 2 comments: nunbnuts,idiots,stupid,smoke joint,fool,beavis&butthead,dip­shit,shoot me to strengthen gene pool? The only content in all that, was your opinion of Watts over Bonham. I am sure when you get old enough to have kids that my gene pool is safely over yours

[telecasterman081095]

@bertmustin Yeah their new list came out. they moved a bunch of people around. Allman deserved his place at #2 before (but Clapton was a worthy contestant for that spot, so no big deal). yes, Taylor is/was better that Richards, but Keef had his own thing going with the badass rhythm playing. I personally think it should be "most influential Rock guitarists" not "Greatest Guitarists". influential, not great. besides, jazz guitarists are more talented anyway haha. I'm a rock guy though

[swiggy58a]

@bustballz Um....you just don't "get it".

Taylor "walked away"....because he WANTED to.

He was a "grown man" then; in his late 20s.

Made his won Decisions; for better or worse. (What's he done since 1975?)

Keith didn't want him to leave. Tried to talk Mick T. out of it; and was seriously hurt that he quit the band.

The Stones (Mick & Keith)....didn't "let" Mick Taylor "walk away".

He was a grown Man; & made his own Decision.

You may see that; if YOU ever grow up.

[swiggy58a]

@THXcooper Um....you're a Led Zeppelin fan; .....aren't you ?

See.....I never watch Zeppelin videos; just so I can put them down....

...'cuz I don't really LIKE Zeppelin.

But Numb-nuts Idiots like YOU....watch Stones videos....just so YOU can slam the Stones. And THAT is the "difference" between "us".

YOU think it's "a Contest".

Ain't no "contest".

Zeppelin was a great "heavy metal" band. Page is a great Guitarist.

Bonham will never TOUCH Charlie Watts; as a drummer!
