      I Feel Fine, Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, Hey Bulldog, Helter Skelter, Come Together, Two Of Us, And Your Bird Can Sing, Taxman, Revolution 1, Here Comes The Sun, If I Needed Someone, In My Life, She Said She Said, Ticket To Ride...
      They may not all be heavy, crunching riffs but they're certainly all distinctive and memorable.

      Jamston Julian Totally agree. Still many of their best work are driven mainly by the vocal melody. Think that this is the biggest difference between the two bands. Hey Jude, let IT be, yesterday, a day in the life i want to hold your hand, she loves you, for no one, elenor rigby. To name a few

      I love both bands. Everyone knows by now that the Stones have always been more of a straight ahead rock n roll band with blues roots. The Beatles were more of a pop group with some roots in rockabilly. The Beatles creativity was off the charts and I think that makes them the better band. We could go on and on, back and forth comparing the two and neither of us would be wrong. Two different types, both the best of the best

      It's not so much about how complicated the riffs are, it's more about how catchy they are. And as another commenter said, and I'll second, it's very much about the fact that these artists came up with the riffs and orchestrated/arranged the songs /first/.

    • @KenTeel

      No, Keith's riffs are not complicated. They are chord based, and frequently use hammer ons to make things like a suspended chords. They are not complex, They are simple. That is their appeal. By the way I am a guitarist (jazz.)

    • @KenTeel
      @KenTeel 2 роки тому

      Really? Day Tripper, Tax Man, etc. I will say that the Stones have to rely on rhythm riffs because the melodic content of their songs is minimal (compare Penny Lane, Michelle, or Yesterday to any Stones song. The Beatles were far superior melodically. And, that is directly related to Jim McCartney, Paul's father. Jim had his own horn band and gigged around Liverpool. He exposed Paul to a variety of musical styles, and that planted a seed in Paul's brain, that showed up in his writing. Paul's richness in style and melody, was the Beatles powerful element. None of the Stones had parents that played music in bands, and therefore were more limited in their exposure to music, as children. Paul's superior intellect, combined with an exposure to 20's, 30's, and 40's music, through his dad, set Paul up to be the powerhouse element in the Beatles. The Stones had no such thing. Mick's father was a fitness instructor. Keith's father was a blue collar worker. Neither played in bands, or encouraged musical development in a way that Jim did with Paul. Paul's skill and diverstity affected John Lennon. Lennon only had exposure, from a parent, to music through his mother playing some banjo. So, John was limited in his scope. Paul helped expand that in John. So, the Stones, in no way, shape or form had the richness of melodic content that The Beatles music had. They really, as Paul has said were kind of a roots based band, with blues primarily, and some country, as foundations. They were much more basic than The Beatles, musically. )

    All the potential war set aside, the two contributed to the genre we all love and carry with us. Without the two, rock had a limited life span despite the other talents on the scene. If only we had more of them, or more popular, it would've lived longer but only so much can be that big at a time.

      Uh, yea, whatever.
      No, just kidding.
      Actually John Lennon was the best rhythm guitarist in the early to mid sixties. Ringo says that the endless live performances prevented them from maintaining a constant creative cohesiveness. So it is John Lennon who held favor in that.
      I will say this of my own opinion. The
      Lsd took away John's and George's talents. But they were getting the ladies so what was to care about too much. Then the break up, it must have been quite a strain being the greatest band, as well individuals, in the world. I guess ask them, what is it like having people worship you wherever you go.
      The Beatles became reclusive while the Rolling Stones wanted to have Beatles fame so with the Beatles out of the way, they at last had a chance. And simply they were meant to live sleep eat piss and... together because being in a band is quite an awesome thing. Being musicians. Aside from rock n roll, rhythm n blues, clearly, Keith Richards was born with true talent and that kind of talent is perpetually unending, hence their longevity.
      Keith Richard's was able to overtake John Lennon because of continual practice and honing his craft.
      John Lennon would have made a come back but that would most likely have been in production as opposed to being locked into a band. But listen to John Lennon's early work and you'll see the Beatles were jamming the guitars like they're saying, "Nobody can do this" and "Try to beat that". Pretty good I'd say.
      (Phone mishap deleted )
      What you people don't know is that the Rolling Stones went on a Retirement Tour in 1978. The fact was that the Rolling Stones could not incite the type of interest that the Beatles had. In fact, the entire concert venue was waning. It was Led Zeppelin that sparked the interest for live performances. Do not discount that when Jimmy Page says that they were the best band in the world, I'd say that that could only be the truth. Then, The Rolling Stones then began to gain a greater public interest Rejuvenated by this turn of events, the Rolling Stones skyrocketed to the heights with the album Some Girls. This video has at least 3-4 riffs from the songs from the 1980 Some Girls album.
      It's really not fair to compare works at an early date when both men were so young to an older extensively experienced individual. Keith Richard's should blow us out of the water. What are we in this for if he couldn't.
      There's more to John Lennon too, that few articulate; John Lennon is the greatest singer after Elvis Presley. I must add Robert Plant to this list. But John's every song was his own self derived and applied vocals. John Lennon sang his music with the brilliance of Michael Angelo with his paint brush. In a more humorous or cynical way and everything in between.

    The Stones developed a lot of rhythm during the 70s (come on, beast of burden is unbeatable), exactly why it's unfair to compare 70s and 80s (start me up) with strictly 60s riffs. That said, The Beatles seems more and more impressive as the years go by, really amazing work, and it cheers me up to see their rocking side being praised. They rock really hard.
    Anyway, love both bands to the core, it's even hard to express how they're important to me. Great vid pal.

    I prefer the Beatles but the stones win this battle as they were more guitar riff based. Beatles were more about the lyrics, plus show me a stone's song with a bass line to match any of McCarthys
