Prior to joining the stones. Mick TAYLOR had played with John Mayell's blues band. Brian Jones drug habit had mad it virtually impossible for him to remain in the group any longer so Mick And Keith fired him. However.
Now Mick Taylor had a drug habit,
once a mild spoken man he was now a heroin addict and would very well die if he don't work out his problems. your getting one more chance. Brian screw it up your out mick Jagger told Brian Jones point blank. Keith Richards was not so sure about letting Brian back in the group..
Ron Wood formally of the small faces played with the stones on its only rock in roll and the group was quite impressed. Keith believed it would be better having Ron join rather then invite Brian back in..

Mick gave in to Keith's caution about letting Brian rejoin however for Jones this was vindication for letting him go all these years.
