Mick Taylor: Self

Quotes 

• Mick Taylor, Himself : At the end of the '69 tour we went to Muscle Shoals and we cut "Wild Horses", "Brown Sugar" and "You've Got To Move" - which are great tracks. During those recording sessions or just before, somebody must have put it to somebody in the Stones organization that we went to Altamont to do a free concert. It was never planned to be part of the 1969 tour.

  Keith Richards, Himself : It was really just a throw-away. You know, there are a lot of these free shows going on and we said, "Well, you know, why don't we do one?"

• Mick Jagger, Himself : I've no idea why he left the band. I thought it was the stupidest idea I've ever heard. And he never told me, really, the reason.

  Brett Morgen, Himself : Why in the world would you leave the Rolling Stones?

  Mick Taylor, Himself : I don't know. Maybe I thought that I would be able to protect my family from - not Keith's orbit - but, drugs. Because, I slowly became addicted to heroin. There comes a point where you have to choose between one or the other or you die. And I, you know, I survived.

  Mick Jagger, Himself : Mick Taylor leaving was a curve ball; because, that was a really good band and it had this balance between Keith and Taylor.
