“I was more concerned with paying a good homage to—and making a good representation of—all the things that Mick Taylor had laid down during the period while he had been with the band; his melodies and his virtuosity. If I am playing a song like All Down The Line it’s a tribute to Mick Taylor’s playing, and if we play Can’t You Hear Me Knocking I’m doing Mick Taylor, only now I can take it off somewhere else.

I always thought that I would never be able to play like Mick, while he thought he was no good—he thinks I’m far better than him and I’ll say, ‘Come on, Mick, get out of here,’ but he honestly believes that. I didn’t dwell on it too long. I knew that I had it inside me to play things my way, but to add the flavour of Mick Taylor as well is cool.”

— Ronnie Wood, quoted in According to the Rolling Stones

“Mick Taylor and I are two different kettles of fish. I tend to open up the nonsense side combined with getting down to good music whereas Mick was good music and seriousness. And [the Rolling Stones] have realized that they really didn’t dig that when I came around.”

— Ronnie Wood, quoted in Rolling Stones: In Their Own Words by David Dalton

“Mick Taylor remembers their first rehearsal as ‘really ragged. I thought, how do these guys make such great records when they’re so sloppy and spontaneous? But it was because they had this great chemistry.’”

— Let It Bleed by Ethan Russell
