Who replaced Brian Jones as The Rolling Stones' new guitarist in 1969?

After Brian Jones was removed from The Rolling Stones in June 1969, John Mayall and Ian Stewart recommended Taylor to Mick Jagger. Taylor believed he was being called in to be a session musician at his first studio session with the Rolling Stones. An impressed Jagger and Keith Richards invited Taylor back the following day to continue rehearsing and recording with the band. He overdubbed guitar on "Country Honk" and "Live With Me" for the album "Let It Bleed", and on the single "Honky Tonk Women" released in the UK on 4 July 1969.

Taylor's onstage debut as a Rolling Stone, at the age of 20, was the free concert in Hyde Park, London on 5 July 1969. An estimated quarter of a million people attended for a show that turned into a tribute to Brian Jones, who had died two days before the concert.

Michael Kevin Taylor (born 17 January 1949) is an English musician, best known as a former member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (1967–69) and The Rolling Stones (1969–74). He has appeared on some of the Stones' classic albums, including "Let It Bleed" (1969), "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert" (1970), "Sticky Fingers" (1971) and "Exile on Main St." (1972).
