LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-DEC 12, 2019…ON THIS DATE IN 1974 MICK TAYLOR ANNOUNCED HE WAS LEAVING THE ROLLING STONES. MICK TAYLOR JOINED THE STONES IN 1969 AND SUPPLIED THE GUITAR LICKS ON SOME OF THE ROLLING STONES’ CLASSIC ALBUMS, INCLUDING ‘EXILE ON MAIN ST.’, ‘STICKY FINGERS’, AND ‘LET IT BLEED’. WHEN HE LEFT, HE WAS QUOTED IN A FEW MAGAZINES THAT HE LEFT BECAUSE HE WAS PROMISED SONGWRITING CREDITS FOR A NUMBER OF SONGS BY MICK JAGGER, AND THE CREDITS NEVER CAME. TAYLOR IS REGARDED AS ONE OF ROCK’S TRUE GREAT GUITARISTS. SLASH OF GUNS N’ ROSES CITES TAYLOR AS ONE OF HIS BIGGEST GUITAR INFLUENCES. THIS IS GREAT CONCERT FOOTAGE FROM 1969 WITH MICK TAYLOR AND KEITH RICHARDS EXCHANGING LICKS ON ‘STREET FIGHTING MAN’
