Fuck the ancient art of weaving. Taylor is a great artist and showed it in concert if you're wanting to overlook the albums he smoked on. Listen to any boot from '72 and '73; the guy was on another planet compared to the rest of the band. He also worked with Jagger to come up with the kind of songs - Moonlight Mile, Winter, Time Waits for No One - they never even attempted afterward. They've had no creative impact on rock since he left.

This guy can still play circles around most guitarists!!!

Are you sure this is from Hendrix Experience and not Experience Hendrix? This sounds like the latter. I've seen it. I've never heard of the former.

@rockonallnight Yes! I agree 100% thats what I was saying to myself while listening...sound s like Mr. Jimmy

@IndoeLoop

Do you have proof for the claim that "Mick T[aylo] r wrote most Goat's Head Soup..."?

[ANGRYEEL]

Very true. Something only someone like MT can do. He's an epic blues player and hopefully through YouTube many people will see just how amazing the man really was and still is. Let it flow Mick!

[rockonallnight]

I don't think that I have ever heard MT play quite like this before. I LOVE IT! His playing here sounds almost Hendrix-like!

Does anyone else agree?

[ajgottesman]

Damn, I wish I didn't have to agree with you.  But, yup, you are so right.

[mecormany]

Sure they do, but let's not descend into lunacy here and say Wood is a great artist. He himself says he's just a twanger and Taylor is an all-time great. Nobody in the Stones was in Taylor's class as a musician and they were lucky to have that 5 year period to live off of the last 30 years. They're just another corporate rock band and have been since 1980 - Taylor is

still a working bluesman, content to work the same clubs his idols did.Even so, I wish he'd sue the pants off the Grimmers.

Endless guitar solo's? Overplaying? When and where? Taylor was a virtuoso playing with a garage band. The art of weaving is so much bullshit, but if Keef says it, it must be so. All it means is they need two guys to play the rhythm guitar part. And trust me, anything Wood's done, Taylor can do. Actually he's known among guitar players for his tone and taste and never being out of control. He can play super fast but rarely and it's almost always about dynamics. How --never mind.Totally clueless.

Somebody mentioned that it's all about songwriting, and I agree to a point. But the truth is, Mick T wrote most of Goat's Head Soup (grossly underrated album) with Jagger, and received none of the credit.

In fact, some of the best songs in their catalogue from that era- Moonlight Mile, Sway, Angie, Can you Hear the Music, Silver Train, Winter, and Can you hear me Knockin -all featured MT's strong hand. Yet he got hung out to dry when the royalties came flooding in.

Hey Mick- hire a Lawyer!

Hmm...never heard that boot. I suppose some people like the constant soloing; to each his own.
