Mick's Memoirs

Taylor plans to reveal all in Stones book

Former Rolling Stone Mick Taylor is preparing to lift the lid on the group's
70s secrets in a tell all autobiography. While MJ and the rest of the
legendary combo continue their mammoth, round the world tour, guitarist Mick
Taylor is writing his memoirs and promises to reveal some "home truths"
about the band.

And although he remains tight lipped on the exact contents of the tome, the
shy Taylor is forthcoming with his views on Jagger, Richards, Watts and
Wood.

"They're still just as arrogant as they ever were," he says, before
explaining why he left the group. "I left because I was peeved at not
getting the credit for various songs, plus some other things."

Despite this, Taylor's time in the group is considered a golden age by the
fans. Keith Richards once said: "Mick's touch, his tone, and his melodic
ideas wowed me," but it appears that the sentiment is not reciprocated. "It
was a pretty intense period when I was in the band," Taylor - who is yet to
find a publisher - tells Teletext Total Entertainment.

"I suppose you could say I was a bit more serious about the music than some
of them. It's all water under the bridge now, I guess."

Taylor, who is not in touch with Mick + Co and only sees bassist Bill Wyman,
also believes that that the Licks tour will be far from the last despite a
combined age of 237.

"I don't think you ever stop being a musician and I don't think musicians
ever really retire, so I can see them carrying on for as long as they are
able. They're still the same as ever, so why not?".
