They might be one of the longest-running rock bands, but they've still found time for external projects.

They didn't necessarily become huge commercial or critical hits, but some produced career-changing moments anyway.

Mick Taylor may have reunited with the Rolling Stones for some dates on their 50 and Counting tour, but that doesn't mean everything is rosy between the guitarist and his former bandmates.

He only lasted a mere five years, but made a huge impact on a classic string of late-'60s/early-'70s albums.

The musical contributions that guitarist Mick Taylor made to the Rolling Stones often take a backseat to the bigger picture of the band's story.

Mick Jagger says the Rolling Stones haven't determined whether they will play Sticky Fingers in its entirety on this year's Zip Code tour.

In June 1979, four years after leaving the Rolling Stones, Mick Taylor released his solo debut.

The Ronnie Wood Band's finale at BluesFest in London next month will include an appearance by Mick Taylor, who held down the guitar-player role in the Rolling Stone before Wood replaced him in 1975. Wood and group will pay tribute to the late Jimmy Reed during their Nov. 1 set at the Royal Albert Hall, where BluesFest runs from Oct. 29-Nov. 1.

Fans can expect a Rolling Stones reunion in London, as Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor have been confirmed as special guests for both the Nov. 25 and Nov. 29 shows at the O2 Arena. The dates are the first on the bands 50 and Counting tour, which includes shows in Brooklyn, N.Y. and Newark, N.J. before year's end.

Happy birthday, Mick Taylor! The guitar great and former Rolling Stones member turns 62 today.
