It's crazy how the Stones allowed themselves to really be kind of shown up by the wunderkind on all these tours, but yet, when he demanded more songwriting credits, they axed him. I guess Keith figured that a lot of people attending big shows would just assume it was him busting out those hot licks...haha.

Yeah, the biggest mistake the Stones made was not giving Taylor his due. He helped make them what they were, and they treated him like shit. The beauty of that period was how Taylor and Keith were opposites that complemented one another's style. Ron Wood is too much like Keith to create that same kind of chemistry.
