Taylor wasn't in the band yet when Beggars was released, and he didn't play much on Bleed, but he sure was featured prominently on Sticky and Exile. ....As you said, a terrific guitar player. But he never quite fit in personality-wise with the rest of the band. The intense spotlight kinda freaked him out, from the accounts I've read.

Yeah, he wasn't really a hell-raiser or trash-the-hotel kind of guy. He was pretty low-key and always about the music. A true musician. Ron Wood fits in perfectly, and is a heckuva guitar player, but I think Mick Taylor is the finest guitarist the Stones have ever had.
