THE ROLLING STONES’ OTHER MICK | MICK TAYLOR’S SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE

At the wee age of 20 years old, guitarist Mick Taylor (of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers fame) replaced Brian Jones, in what as that time the greatest
rock and roll band in the world– the Rolling Stones. Well the best was yet to come, as they went on to record the epic musical masterpieces–
Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street.
Then suddenly in ’74, Mick dropped out. Some say he was kicked out– but Taylor simply had enough of the chaos, drugs, and strain that came with
being in the Stones. Had he stayed, Taylor adamantly believes that the Stones’ life of debauchery would have killed him.
Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones
The one thing no one argues, not even the Stone’s themselves, is that Mick Taylor’s musical prowess far surpassed that of his former band mates.
His fluid and bluesy guitar work held the group together through many of Richards’ drug and alcohol binges. The irony is that many fans unwittingly
attribute much of Mick Taylor’s picking on countless Stones’ classics from ’69-’74 to guitar frontman, Keith Richards.
Back in ’82, the Stone’s management cut-off royalties due to Taylor for his work with the band– essentially screwing him. Adding insult to injury,
they threw this tasty gem in the recently released documentary “Stones in Exile”–
Bassist Bill Wyman declares, “Musically he (Mick Taylor) was a better musician than the other guys in the band. Some of the things he did was amazing
but he was incredibly boring onstage. He’d do the most amazing licks, riffs and solos but he’d just stand there and look at his guitar. God, the audience
would see the top of his head all the time. I always thought he could’ve been a bit more… but then I’m not a good one to talk. I don’t leap about
much. In 30 years with The Stones I’ve probably made three steps on the stage.”

Why Anita Pallenberg, Rolling Stones Muse, Was Queen of the Underground
"She was a rock & roll legend in herself, a style icon, a crucial part of the Stones' mystique," Sheffield writes of Keith Richards' ex
(Of Anita Pallenberg, Rob Sheffield writes Keith Richards' ex was "a rock & roll legend in herself, a crucial part of the Rolling Stones' mystique")
Let's raise a toast to the late great Anita Pallenberg, queen of the underground,
the Rolling Stones muse who gave the Glimmer Twins their glimmer lessons. Pallenberg,
who died Tuesday night at the age of 73, wasn't merely Keith Richards' consort –
she was a rock & roll legend in herself, a style icon, a crucial part of the Stones' mystique.
She taught Keith her sinister glare, taught Mick Jagger her wiggle, taught Brian Jones
how to wear floppy hats. Look at pictures of Keith before and after Anita – it's like the
difference between Buddy Holly and Jack the Ripper. As soon Keith connected with Anita,
he lost his gawky shyness and learned to strut like her, wearing her scarves and shirts
and bangles. She was the flower of evil in the Stones' orbit, the baddest of bad girls
– her grin declared she knew more about sin than any of these English schoolboys
had ever imagined.
Things tended to burst into flames around Anita. Her friend Marianne Faithfull used to
call her "Glenda Hindenburg." "Loads of people were scared of me," Anita said in
Victor Bockris' Keith Richards: The Biography. "I guess it was all that savoir-vivre that
I had, and I was from Rome and I had traveled and been in New York and I knew all these people,
and I was pretty reckless as well. You could see Keith and Mick exchanging looks like, ‘Who
is this weird bird?'" That was putting it mildly. As Keith recalled, "She knew everything and
she could say it in five languages. She scared the pants off me!"
Pallenberg was a German-Italian actress who had hung out with the Andy Warhol scene in New York
before she met the Stones. She appeared in films like Barbarella and Candy, but her most brilliant
moment was in Performance, as the dangerous half of Mick Jagger's imagination. You can hear her in
"Sympathy for the Devil" – she's one of the voices chanting "hoo hoo!" In the Godard film of the
sessions, One Plus One, she radiates all her seductive magnetism even though she appears to be wearing
a brown thrift-store carpet.
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
She entered the Stones scene in 1966, when she moved in with Jones. "I decided to kidnap Brian,"
she recalled. "Brian seemed sexually the most flexible." They began to dress alike,
as he wore her finery. She cut his hair and dyed it blonder, until they looked like twins –
blonde on blonde. The first time he did acid, Brian told her, "Dress me up like Francoise Hardy."
She did. In November 1966, the London press printed scandalous photos of Brian in a Nazi uniform
with Anita kneeling at his feet. As Stanley Booth writes in The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones,
"Brian and Anita were into blowing people's minds." The Stones fancied themselves worldly young men,
bad boys, but they'd never encountered anything like her. Their music got more outrageous and flamboyant
with her around. In so many ways, she taught them to let it bleed.
That fall, Keith moved in with Brian and Anita. What could go wrong? "The first time I saw Anita my
obvious reaction was ‘What the fuck is a chick like that doing with Brian?'" Keith recalled later.
"Anita's incredibly strong, a much stronger personality than Brian, more confident, with no reservations,
whereas Brian was full of doubts." As Brian grew more abusive and jealous, eventually breaking his hand
on her face, she left him for Keith during a fateful trip to Morocco. They became bosom buddies with Gram
Parsons, often taking drug-fueled trips to Joshua Tree to look for UFOs in the desert sky.
In a sense, Anita was the storm the Stones were seeking shelter from.
Pallenberg really earned her sixth-Stone stripes with her star turn in the 1970 film Performance, an
essential part of the band's mythos. Mick Jagger plays a washed-up rock star hiding out in his mansion,
living in a decadent menage a trois with Anita and Michele Breton. (The three spend quality time in the bathtub.)
When a London gangster comes to hide out in the mansion, Anita seduces him, dresses him up in drag,
and ravages his sanity. Anita and Mick shared graphic sex scenes – perhaps not quite faking it for the camera.
The day Anita and Mick filmed their bedroom scenes, Keith was on the other side of town, strumming his guitar
in an understandably grim mood. The song he wrote that day? "Gimme Shelter." In a sense, Anita was the storm the
Stones were seeking shelter from – her cocky smile promising all sorts of there-goes-gravity chaos, with a jaw as
broad as a guitar neck.
(Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg in 1970. "She taught Keith her sinister glare, taught Mick Jagger her wiggle,
taught Brian Jones how to wear floppy hats," Rob Sheffield writes.)
All through the Seventies, Anita and Keith tripped through the days at lightning speed, living at
a pace that turned other people to vegetables. She was not into discretion. When the Stones flew
to Toronto in February 1977, she brought 28 pieces of luggage. For some reason, this caught the eye
of customs officials, who found drugs in her bags, setting up the bust that nearly ended the Stones.
"Anita is a great, great woman," Keith told Rolling Stone in 1981, after they split up. "She's a fantastic
person. I'll always love her. I just can't live with her, you know?"
Pallenberg kicked drugs and remained hilariously flippant about the boys in the band. As she put it,
"What I think is that the two of them, Mick and Keith, are going to have to face each other eventually.
They should get married. Mayor Koch should marry them." In her later years, she got into gardening
(which was fitting for the muse who helped inspire "Dead Flowers") and kept acting. She was brilliant in
her 2001 role on the cult-classic British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, in a memorable episode where Edina
saw visions of God and the Devil. Marianne Faithfull played God; Anita, of course, played the Devil. A fearsome
force to the end, which is why the rock & roll world will never forget to put roses on this bad girl's grave.
When I got the news of her death, I was at a Nick Cave show in New York City, which was really the perfect place
to mourn a bad seed like Anita – I sang "From Her To Eternity" extra loud in her honor. Rest in peace, Anita Pallenberg.
Blow away, dandelion.
