You want to hear Keith speak adoringly of other musicians? Ask him about Chuck and Muddy and BB and Scotty. As for his own contemporaries, he’s always been open about what he likes and doesn’t. It’s just Keith being Keith. He means no harm. I just love the guy.

Oh does he? Tell where in Keith's book "Life" did he say ANYTHING derogatory about Elton John. In fact he was very complimentary about Elton. So sick of BS on the net, it's really starting to become out of control, although many would say it started long ago.
Actually, June 20, 1975, Elton John really pissed off the Stones, and in particular, Keith, by outstaying his welcome by a whopping 10 songs. He was only supposed to play for one song, Honky Tonk Woman. Elton was so coked out he didn't take the cue to get off the stage. At the time, Billy Preston was playing keyboards for the Stones. Jagger introduced him as "Reginald Dwight from Watford," hoping he'd get the message. They were not happy. It was my first concert. Fort Collins, Colorado.
Keith Richards, speaking about Elton John, called him "an old bitch… his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes." Sounds pretty derogatory to me.
I imagine Keith is well used to shitty journalists twisting his words to get a story published. The whole Beatles/Stones feud was a publicity stunt to sell records and newspapers. The same with the Oasis/Blur situation. Media and the music industry can be toxic places, and with the advent of the internet and social media, it has become completely untethered to reality.
If ever Elton John needs to come down to Earth and stop pretending to be a rock legend, the thing he needs most of all, is Keith's opinions of his fake persona... Available as a matter of fact, all over the net. Keith never took to such false characters, as Elton John, and his blonde admiration for Royalty. Grow up, and face the truth that Keith provided to the whole world, about fakes like Elton John.
I agree that he's not spouting any hate. But I disagree that he's speaking his mind. He doesn't have a mind any more. He's speaking his "grey fluff that's floating around in his cranium".
Jack Sparrow was modelled after Keith Richards. Johnny Depp even talks like him in the movies. Keith even played his father in one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
@@vanceharkema5131Without a doubt Depp’s guitar is turned way down in the PA compared to the other musicians during their Hollywood Vampires shows. He may have always dreamed of being a musician first and no doubt he can play basic rhythm and easy pentatonic licks but when you’re on stage with the likes of Joe Perry who had already 2 decades worth of experience being a professional musician and filling arena shows while Johnny was still rising as a teen idol on 21 Jump Street. He’s a phenomenal actor and seems to enjoy acting as a musician a lot, especially with his staled film career as of late due to the Amber Heard fiasco.
I had the privilege of seeing The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin live in concert. The Rolling Stones had great stage effects, but Zeppelin's music soared in live performance. Some of Zeppelin's shows would go 3 1/2 hours, and always seemed too short. No disrespect meant to the Stones, but their shows were like a "greatest hits", and seemed rote and less inspired than the aforementioned.
Led zeppelin was the most boring live band I've ever seen. A LOT of bands I saw back then were better live than zeppelin. The Stones were much better live
Led Zeppelin is not only the king of plagiarism. No other team has had so many theft lawsuits. Negative opinions about Zeppelin from the greatest - Clapton, Dylan, Richards, Townsend and many others - are not accidental.
Zepp never had "hits". Peter Grant didn't want to put any album tracks out ( I've got a couple of Spanish singles of theirs ) - but if they have put specially recorded singles out - I don't know about them.
I don’t know why people agree with Mick saying Keith isn’t a happy person. He seems like one of the happiest, most “comfortable in his own skin” people I’ve ever seen.
@@zackzallie8735 He knows he's not a lead guitarist. As do many. It all comes down to how important a Rhythm guitarist is to your group for the sound they want . Many think it's just a important. Too many people think 'shredding' is the be-all & end-all. But most such olos aren't very interesting because many are re-treads. Guitar rhythm works with the Bass & the Drums. Rhythm keeps the song/tune alive. Solos add to that. That's why Jimi Hendrix IS SO GOOD. Because he could play BOTH
I think John Paul Jones deserves much credit. I also think that Oasis is more derivative of the Beatles and I adore Keith. Met him at a Tom Waits concert at The Beacon. It was terribly amusing. My friend was in a leg cast and he told her to take care of herself. She yelled, "You take care of YOURSELF!" The lobby laughed.
Oasis are shite-typical 90s shite. And I think it's funny he dares criticise the like of Beatles album, and Led Zeppelin, good, they ain't gods and I don't play their stuff, unless someone else had done a cover and I prefer them and it just happens to be a Beatles tune. It doesn't make me play theirs.

My late older brother used to spend the night together with Keith Richards at his house. One evening, Mr. Richards expressed the opinion to my brother that he didn't like the music of The Grateful Dead. I told my brother (he was still alive at the time) that Keith should not knock The Dead. He said-'why not?' I said-'because they may comeback to haunt him.' True story.
@@ChiSam_521 The Grateful Dead are a noun, the word 'comeback' is a verb, 'silly is an adjective. 'Bitch' can be all three of these; noun, verb, and adjective. Thanks for reminding me of it.
@@romanticandperky We're you a wise man, rather than an arrogant punk, you would have looked the word up before doubling-down on stupid. How's that for a comeback.
Yes that's about right. No more than that. Prince does seem to be overrated for some reason he was ok but so many were better. Prince had two good albums and the rest were trend chasers or try to be starters. But how many songs by Prince are legendary and how many of the Stones are. Prince has maybe 3 but probably Purple Rain and I really can think of another.
@@TheEWFX29 Prince and The Rolling Stones were in different domains. Whether he was overrated or underrated depends on the perceiver. Prince was highly influential as a musician and a cultural icon. He broke down boundaries in the 80s in what a pop song could sound like. His live performances were legendary. In terms of endurance, versatility, and musicianship he easily took out Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen who were his peers. Prince's genius reached far beyond his studio recordings. Legendary Prince songs - Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette, Kiss, Sign O' The Times, The Beautiful Ones, Adore, Nothing Compares 2 U, perhaps Raspberry Beret, off the top of my head......
@@danielcowan8673 Non of his songs are really remembered or brought up when music is recalled. What was achieved were songs that were more style than substance. He is known more for style and attitude then music. Most of his albums and songs aren't remembered or even known. It was a nice cultural symbol but musically he really isnt remembered for much I am afraid.
5:45. This video highlights the shallow, parasitic nature of so-called internet 'content creators' who use false, derogatory, click-bail titles to grift. Richard's musical tastes reflect personal preferences, and are no indication of his opinions of other people.
Who forced the Stones to register a sub Sergeant Pepper's with Their Satanic Majesties Request ? Even finally , Sergeant Pepper's is not my Beatles favorite album, because l would have dreamed this album with Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane and a real George Harrison song.
In early 1969 my pal Stuart, one year older than me aged 16, talked me into going with him to the Redcar Jazz Club on 7th February to see a group I’d never heard of called Jethro Tull. I don’t know how my parents allowed me to go on a Sunday evening, so school next day, especially as it was licensed premises, so we were both underage. We had a table near the stage and fairly central, so great view. What an experience that was for me as a 15 year old!
I loved Tull too. JT's earlier albums caught on in Britain but Aqualung was an album that received a lot of US play and put them on the map here, prob around 1971 or even 1972. I was in the USN at the time of its release and no one had ever heard of them, however that album did it for the band.
@@58landman -- I was in High School and just another Pop Rock listener and then my brother brought home Aqualung. I had never heard guitar playing like that in my life. Martin Barre's playing was just phenomenal with his blend of riffs, fills, runs, and those unbelievable leads. They are a Progressive Rock band, but that album featured Martin doing some revolutionary Hard Rock guitar work.
@@ricenglish4556I saw Tull outside DC bak in '84. Called for a snowstorm that nite so my friend chickened out. Went by myself. Still have my ripped tik and his unripped tiket!
1. Elton John - Didn't say he didn't like him, just didn't like the way he made a tribute performance all about himself. 2. The Beatles - Called Sgt. Pepper's rubbish 3. Led Zeppelin - Said the band never took off, just thinks Jimmy is an amazing guitarist 4. Prince - Called him an "over-rated midget" 5. Oasis - Called them derivative 6. Black Sabbath - never liked that kind of music, it's only good for comedy 7. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Just kidding, I don't like them and thought I'd tack them on to Keith's list.
Geesh! Keith Richards probably doesn't even like Sara Lee. However, I saw the Stones last week in Vegas at the Hackney Diamonds concert tour at Allegiant Stadium. They were great. The black drummer, girl singer, bass player and sax player brought their music to a whole new level, sounding better than they did back in the 1960's.
Although I could understand some of what was shared here, whether I agree with it or not, one thing I want to know is why Keith would be so dismissive of John Paul Jones. It's nice that he gives props to Jimmy Page among Led Zeppelin members, but why shaft John Paul Jones?
Maybe he had a senior moment where he thought that John Paul Jones was related to Brian Jones. Other than that, I dunno, except that he probably never listened to LZ or that he was more enamored of big, over-the-top, full-of-themselves personalities (like himself) than he was of an actual musical genius.
Jonesy is a brilliant musician, he and Page were very busy doing sessions for others before Led Zep. One of the things he did was arranging the strings on “She’s Like A Rainbow” by the Stones in 1967. I think Keith wants to forget that year…
Keith Richards just doesnt ever want to admit that the Beatles put our an incredibly good album and couldnt figure out what Stones album could compete with that
Heard Richards on the Howard Stern Show & when he laughed, it sounded like he was gargling butter. He's one pneumonia session away from meeting Prince for real.
Love Keith but musically he was insecure with many super groups. The fact of the matter is in 75 Zeppelin was the biggest band on the planet and it was only two years later (IMHO) The Stones put out their last great album.
@@igottheblues1 ...ya many considered Exile their best for sure...and I tend to agree but Some Girls was a monster album for them and it had a handful of really solid tunes this is why I'd suggest that was their last great album. As I say I love Keith but one thing thar has always bugged me is that he's craps on some really great bands and especially so it they were successful rivals of the Stones.
@@FilmSchool-om3ewI agree and I have to do the math. If Richard was in either group, Could Songs like stairway to heaven and Purple Rain exist ? Let alone anybody else On Keith's list ? Kieth is blessed to be where he is and he is the best At The greatest pirate rock and roll and all that but Time and music (She is a force of nature) moves On to other lovers.
I don't know why I clicked on this; I care as much about what musicians Keith Richards likes or hates about as much as whether or not the guy in the annoying you tube ad is going to quit carbs.
keef is A musician, singular not plural.... let's be honest, the reason you clicked is just like a shit eating hog, you're attracted to shite. the "HATE" word gotcha !! you're soooo coool sweety, you're the ICEman !!!!!! ur soooo coool.... u dont care dahhhrlingggggs if only u were as successful as keef !! or even vanilla ice.... maybe you ARE vanilla ice ??? just vanilla ?
I think Mick had a point, but he is KR and people are interested in his opinion. I wonder what his opinion about himself is? As for laughing all the way to the bank, aren't they all, or were.
Remember, these guys are JUST entertainers. They are very rich and have become like all other very rich. Self absorbed and thinking that because they are very rich they think they must have a special power of knowledge about the world. They don’t. They are JUST entertainers. Similar to the clown act in a circus. Speaking as a musician myself. It’s all for your entertainment. Nothing more nothing less
It's no secret that Keith's Zeppelin comment was pure jealousy. Zeppelin dominated the 70's & their legend has only grown since then and it irked the Stones, though nobody, of course, will ever admit it.
I think he expected The Stones to be the biggest and most important band in the world after The Beatles broke up, but it was Led Zeppelin and he never came to terms with that.
Agreed, and considering the fact that all four members of Zeppelin were widely recognized as extraordinarily gifted virtuosos, his musicianship snipe is ludicrous.
I don't think Keith is saying that the LZ members are bad musicians, he just didn't like them as a band and their music. He wasn't the only one who felt this way; Clapton, Hendrix, and Townshend were also not fond of LZ.
Il a dit la vérité sur beaucoup de choses...il est un peu dur avec Paul mc Cartney , sergent pepper est une bonne chanson...Le reste peu déplaire..certains trucs du hard rock étaient bien je ne supporte pas les groupes de ultra heavy speed métal...
When he and Mick saw Hendrix gigging at a club in Greenwich Village in the summer of 1966 (they had been recommended to go and watch him by Stones girlfriend Linda Keith), both failed to see that there was anything very special about him. Chas Chandler came by two weeks later and the rest is history...
@@louise_rose they probably shat themselves when they saw Hendrix, he was so far ahead it was ridiculous - the Stones got much better but just listen to Jimi on his first record.
We all have a right to our opinion. I disagree with some of his takes. Especially his views on Zeppelin. But in my opinion he's more than earned his right to comment. And he's also a musically knowledgeable (and funny) dude.
bad heavy metal porn soundtrack !!! ,,,, prefer the Clash and the Pistols..... zepplin...... porno muzak ! who wants 2 hear the singer cum ? maybe girls ? men ? thats weird !!!
Agree, keith a bad guitar player criticizing other musicians, rather he seems to me like a clown who is very overrated. He can never compare to Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, Mick Taylor, Jorma Kaukonen, John Cipollina, Jimmy Page, Kim Simmonds, Ritchie Blackmore, Duane Allman, Henry Vestine, Stan Webb, Mark Knopfler, etcetcetcetc or the greats Mick Bloomfield and Peter Green. He is a rhythm guitarist and also very famous. With all due respect is my opinion. Ask Chuck Berry, what a bad guitar player keith is . ✌️
@@jorgeramirezcamarena4904 But Richards is rated higher than others. Because musicians who know about music and who held the instrument in their hands should express their opinion. The vast majority of guitarists use patents invented by richarfds, and technique and precision have nothing to do with it. String pulling, riffs, fuzz box, etc.
@@piotro6174 Sorry but it's my opinion, i've been buying, listening and collecting music since 1970 when i was fifteen "years young" ("Buddy Guy words") and i know about music, but your argument is vey valid. Greetings Piotro. ✌️
@@827dusty actually you're probably just reading something from another perspective. I knew very few people famous or not that didn't love his music. Lots of people have different tastes but he was very much liked among musicians because he was so talented and different. Are you a musician? Not trying to be rude, I was a professional musician for over 30 years and I only met a couple metal heads that didn't like him. He was amazing.
@@DougCanney1 I have 54 of his albums - I'm also an "ex musician" soon to restart my music career in my retirement as a big hobby/project - Prince in my opinion was the most accomplished brilliant overall musician we have seen in the last 100 years, multi talented, multi instruments, vocalist, most albums he played/recorded 90% of the tracks on all instruments - the most underrated and appreciated musician - luckily I saw him 3 times live - 2 concerts and one "post concert gig" in a club in Melbourne Australia
@@DougCanney1 He has more than 54 as some are being slowly released from his "Vault" by his Estate - I just can't afford them at the moment but will soon
He's a middle class Londoner who played music by people who lived a life that he has no idea about, other than the times he purposely tried to emulate it. Not in anyone's top 100 of guitar players and while an important figure in rock, not a guy whose playing chops clear the way for him to sit up high and call out people below him.
Title: "Keith Richards Hates These Six Musicians" Actual video: Keith Richards praising everyone he talks about. Thank you, UA-cam, for recommending me this video so I can block the channel.
Why do´nt the Stones tell their greedy managers to f...off and give the whole world a final concert for a week in Hyde Park along with some of the old and best Rock´roll musicians of England ? ps. they should ask Bill on their bended knees to join them.
I think Jagger managed the Stones for a good part of the band's life. He was a smart cookie and wasn't going to let the Stones get ripped off by greedy leeches, which was all too common back in the 60s and 70s.
Mick Taylor really enhanced their sound and they made their best music when he was in the band, and their sound never recovered from him leaving. I like Ronnie's playing but he is no blues virtuoso the Mick Taylor was.
@@deltawhiskey1398 Of his musical abilities. Prince was a much better guitarist, plus Prince was an excellent pianist. Keith has always been a good riff creator, but as a guitarist? Not in the top 500.
J'aime beaucoup Keith Richards, j'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour lui car c'est un grand créateur de musiques et il a été honoré pour cela. De plus quand il était jeune j'ai toujours trouvé qu'il était un bel homme selon mon goût car j'aime les hommes assez grands, très minces et avec un visage un peu marqué, maintenant il a vieillit comme tout le monde mais il garde quand même beaucoup de charme. De plus toute sa famille l'aime beaucoup, ses enfants et petits enfants ce qui veut dire qu'il est un homme gentil et il reste entouré de toute sa famille.
Every band was jealous of Zeppelin in the '70s because Zeppelin out sold everyone at the box office and in record stores. Zeppelin RULED the '70s. No one came close.
ledZep and Sargeant Pepper were really inspiring. I wish Keith Richard hated my guitar playing as much as my wife does. Real artists can dislike one another during an interview. In private, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles were excellent friends during the late 60s. Oasis is authentic crap. I feel pity for their fans.
Keith was certainly right about Sgt Pepper and about Oasis, as to the others, the narrative in this post is too confused to be sure about what he was actually asserting. Great bloke.
He knocks everybody. Riffhard has spent his life tarnishing the legacy of Brian Jones. But, yes, Keef was the creative spark of the Stones' amazing 60s music.
I saw an interview with Keith from the 1970s in which the reporter told him, "John Lennon says that any time The Beatles did anything novel, The Stones had to copy it." Keith's response: "Ahh, John Lennon's just upset that he hasn't put out a good album lately." LOL! 😄🗯️
Personally I love the Stones, especially the era from Satisfaction till Sticky Fingers. Keith's book is a damn good read. He owes his guitar style ( tuning and no low E string) to his music and drugging buddy, GRAM PARSONS. That he is one of the most opinionated musicians of the old school is obvious. Making controversial statements are very useful for keeping him and his Stone buddies on the global media's radar. Some of his beefs have some validity and some are hackney BOLLOCKS. He hardly rates as a great guitarist these days, but his contribution as a co-writer with Jagger has produced a plethora of classic rock songs. Some of his observations are downright embarrassing. Example, at the age of 18, Prince recorded his first album entirely alone. What could Keith have done ? I wonder if he was even capable of trying his own shoelaces and playing more than 10 chords. I think that it's time to stop the deification of artists who were a product of another age, and the idolisation of the sex and drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle and admit that Keith wouldn't be taking cheap shots at other worthwhile artists, 'cause he would've been 6 feet in the ground. But being a very rich rock star, he was able to pull himself from the brink and survive, unlike many of his contemporaries who kicked the bucket early on.
It’s Keith! Like he possibly gives a hoot what people think. He’s Mt. Rushmore. Also both John and George have expressed they didn’t think Sgt Pepper was they’re best stuff either.
Interesting that Kieth never mentioned John Paul Jones, yet he played piano on shes a rainow, i guess he forgot about the crown jewel of Ledzeplin Zeppelin
Some people say stuff just for effect. He knows Zeppelins influence is well beyond the Stones.ever was. He knows his own playing can't compare to Jimmy Page. Just smoke another joint and get over in the corner somewhere, Keith
@@EdmundDonnelly-i3q -- I agree. I saw the Stones in '79 and they were awful. No, actually they would have had to be 10 times better just to work their way up to awful. Keith couldn't play or sing harmony. He was a joke. At least Mick tried.
"John Bonham was heavy-handed" !! Errrr that was kind of the whole point with Bonzo!... Let's face it, Keith has been an innovator in his career, but his tastes are very conservative. He doesn't really like much other than blues and R'n'B. Also, I think he sees other bands as rivals to his own. He wants the Stones to always be 'The greatest rock'n'roll band in the world', whereas Mick has always been more open-minded and interested in new artists.
“Paint it black” is a great song - that said, one of its co-authors - Richards - does seem to daub the black stuff on others and their accomplishments - and - as the other writer of the foregoing song says of Richards - “He’s not a happy man……” . I rest my case !
Sorry but I have to agree with Keith about the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album...the first time I saw and heard the album I had the same reaction as Keith!!!
Keith is going to look back on this in 75 years and smile
He'll still be there, smiling at the thought of this glorious moment at the end of the universe, long after the death of the sun and the demise of the coackroaches. And should he ever reach the end of his life span, then he'll do so in union with the universe. And he will already be there smiling even before the Big Bang (Mainstream media will deny it, but non-Sheeple know that the Big Bang was actually just a byproduct of Keith ripping a fart, where an odour appeared that was so enriched by the blend of every substance known to man that it immediately kicked life into motion),
after "the End" once again turned into "a beginning" and the eternal cycle sets into motion again.
Be it five millenia ago, two decades ago, yesterday, today, 3AM tomorrow morning, in 75 years or even seven quadrillion years from now - it's all the same, we are born, live for a bit and then disappear, only to then be born, live and disappear again, and during every single moment of it, Keith Richards, his questionable takes and most importantly his smile will be present, over and over again. ♾️

No disrespect meant to the Stones, but their shows were like a "greatest hits", and seemed rote and less inspired than the aforementioned.
Keith is still king
@@jeanninejoslin6551 King of what ? Richards is a real jerk !
Led zeppelin was the most boring live band I've ever seen. A LOT of bands I saw back then were better live than zeppelin. The Stones were much better live
Led Zeppelin is not only the king of plagiarism. No other team has had so many theft lawsuits. Negative opinions about Zeppelin from the greatest - Clapton, Dylan, Richards, Townsend and many others - are not accidental.
Zepp never had "hits".
Peter Grant didn't want to put any album tracks out ( I've got a couple of Spanish singles of theirs ) - but if they have put specially recorded singles out - I don't know about them.

It all comes down to how important a Rhythm guitarist is to your group for the sound they want . Many think it's just a important. Too many people think 'shredding' is the be-all & end-all. But most such olos aren't very interesting because many are re-treads. Guitar rhythm works with the Bass & the Drums. Rhythm keeps the song/tune alive. Solos add to that.
That's why Jimi Hendrix IS SO GOOD. Because he could play BOTH

I think John Paul Jones deserves much credit. I also think that Oasis is more derivative of the Beatles and I adore Keith. Met him at a Tom Waits concert at The Beacon. It was terribly amusing. My friend was in a leg cast and he told her to take care of herself. She yelled, "You take care of YOURSELF!" The lobby laughed.
Your point?
Oasis are shite-typical 90s shite. And I think it's funny he dares criticise the like of Beatles album, and Led Zeppelin, good, they ain't gods and I don't play their stuff, unless someone else had done a cover and I prefer them and it just happens to be a Beatles tune. It doesn't make me play theirs.

My late older brother used to spend the night together with Keith Richards at his house. One evening, Mr. Richards expressed the opinion to my brother that he didn't like the music of The Grateful Dead. I told my brother (he was still alive at the time) that Keith should not knock The Dead. He said-'why not?' I said-'because they may comeback to haunt him.' True story.
Like Jerry Garcia cared what Keith had to say.
Come back. The word comeback is a noun, silly.

When Prince died Richards said, "A unique talent. A true original. A great guitar player".
That's more in line with my experience of Prince.
Yes that's about right. No more than that. Prince does seem to be overrated for some reason he was ok but so many were better. Prince had two good albums and the rest were trend chasers or try to be starters. But how many songs by Prince are legendary and how many of the Stones are. Prince has maybe 3 but probably Purple Rain and I really can think of another.
@@TheEWFX29 Prince and The Rolling Stones were in different domains. Whether he was overrated or underrated depends on the perceiver.
Prince was highly influential as a musician and a cultural icon. He broke down boundaries in the 80s in what a pop song could sound like.
His live performances were legendary. In terms of endurance, versatility, and musicianship he easily took out Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen who were his peers.
Prince's genius reached far beyond his studio recordings.
Legendary Prince songs - Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette, Kiss, Sign O' The Times, The Beautiful Ones, Adore, Nothing Compares 2 U, perhaps Raspberry Beret, off the top of my head......
@@danielcowan8673 Non of his songs are really remembered or brought up when music is recalled. What was achieved were songs that were more style than substance. He is known more for style and attitude then music. Most of his albums and songs aren't remembered or even known. It was a nice cultural symbol but musically he really isnt remembered for much I am afraid.
5:45. This video highlights the shallow, parasitic nature of so-called internet 'content creators' who use false, derogatory, click-bail titles to grift. Richard's musical tastes reflect personal preferences, and are no indication of his opinions of other people.
Mick at the end - absolute gem! 🤣
Sgt Peppers started music revolution not to be repeated . We were lucky to live in that day .
Never seen the beauty of any Beatles album, must be me i guess.
Who forced the Stones to register a sub Sergeant Pepper's with Their Satanic Majesties Request ?
Who forced the Stones to register a sub Sergeant Pepper's with Their Satanic Majesties Request ? Even finally , Sergeant Pepper's is not my Beatles favorite album, because l would have dreamed this album with Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane and a real George Harrison song.
In early 1969 my pal Stuart, one year older than me aged 16, talked me into going with him to the Redcar Jazz Club on 7th February to see a group I’d never heard of called Jethro Tull. I don’t know how my parents allowed me to go on a Sunday evening, so school next day, especially as it was licensed premises, so we were both underage. We had a table near the stage and fairly central, so great view. What an experience that was for me as a 15 year old!
Wowwwwww ❤️
Since Tull is my all-time favorite band, that must have been awesome.
I loved Tull too. JT's earlier albums caught on in Britain but Aqualung was an album that received a lot of US play and put them on the map here, prob around 1971 or even 1972. I was in the USN at the time of its release and no one had ever heard of them, however that album did it for the band.
@@58landman -- I was in High School and just another Pop Rock listener and then my brother brought home Aqualung. I had never heard guitar playing like that in my life. Martin Barre's playing was just phenomenal with his blend of riffs, fills, runs, and those unbelievable leads. They are a Progressive Rock band, but that album featured Martin doing some revolutionary Hard Rock guitar work.

4. Prince - Called him an "over-rated midget"

How much of a sweetheart is Keith Richard?!!
Geesh! Keith Richards probably doesn't even like Sara Lee. However, I saw the Stones last week in Vegas at the Hackney Diamonds concert tour at Allegiant Stadium. They were great. The black drummer, girl singer, bass player and sax player brought their music to a whole new level, sounding better than they did back in the 1960's.
Although I could understand some of what was shared here, whether I agree with it or not, one thing I want to know is why Keith would be so dismissive of John Paul Jones. It's nice that he gives props to Jimmy Page among Led Zeppelin members, but why shaft John Paul Jones?
Because Jones didn't sign The PACT
Maybe he had a senior moment where he thought that John Paul Jones was related to Brian Jones. Other than that, I dunno, except that he probably never listened to LZ or that he was more enamored of big, over-the-top, full-of-themselves personalities (like himself) than he was of an actual musical genius.
😲
Led Zeppelin is arguably the greatest rock band of all time.
Jonesy is a brilliant musician, he and Page were very busy doing sessions for others before Led Zep. One of the things he did was arranging the strings on “She’s Like A Rainbow” by the Stones in 1967. I think Keith wants to forget that year…

It's no secret that Keith's Zeppelin comment was pure jealousy. Zeppelin dominated the 70's & their legend has only grown since then and it irked the Stones, though nobody, of course, will ever admit it.
I think he expected The Stones to be the biggest and most important band in the world after The Beatles broke up, but it was Led Zeppelin and he never came to terms with that.
Agreed, and considering the fact that all four members of Zeppelin were widely recognized as extraordinarily gifted virtuosos, his musicianship snipe is ludicrous.
I don't think Keith is saying that the LZ members are bad musicians, he just didn't like them as a band and their music. He wasn't the only one who felt this way; Clapton, Hendrix, and Townshend were also not fond of LZ.
I agree with Keith Richards . He likes blues purists , Hendrix , BB King , Muddy Waters , Trower , Clapton ....

Why do´nt the Stones tell their greedy managers to f...off and give the whole world a final concert for a week in Hyde Park along with some of the old and best Rock´roll musicians of England ? ps. they should ask Bill on their bended knees to join them.
Well that's all ridiculous.
I think Jagger managed the Stones for a good part of the band's life. He was a smart cookie and wasn't going to let the Stones get ripped off by greedy leeches, which was all too common back in the 60s and 70s.
Bill is 93
Much as I admire and have always loved Keef I fell out of love with the Stones a long time ago. Somewhere around when Mick Taylor left.
Mick Taylor really enhanced their sound and they made their best music when he was in the band, and their sound never recovered from him leaving. I like Ronnie's playing but he is no blues virtuoso the Mick Taylor was.

Keith was certainly right about Sgt Pepper and about Oasis, as to the others, the narrative in this post is too confused to be sure about what he was actually asserting. Great bloke.
He knocks everybody. Riffhard has spent his life tarnishing the legacy of Brian Jones. But, yes, Keef was the creative spark of the Stones' amazing 60s music.
It seems like Keith forgets what he's talking about half way through and just cuts it short with a summation.
Shame he can't run for POTUS! He's more coherent than Sock-Puppet Biden!

Keith's response: "Ahh, John Lennon's just upset that he hasn't put out a good album lately."
LOL!
😄🗯️
Personally I love the Stones, especially the era from Satisfaction till Sticky Fingers. Keith's book is a damn good read. He owes his guitar style ( tuning and no low E string) to his music and drugging buddy, GRAM PARSONS. That he is one of the most opinionated musicians of the old school is obvious. Making controversial statements are very useful for keeping him and his Stone buddies on the global media's radar. Some of his beefs have some validity and some are hackney BOLLOCKS. He hardly rates as a great guitarist these days, but his contribution as a co-writer with Jagger has produced a plethora of classic rock songs. Some of his observations are downright embarrassing. Example, at the age of 18, Prince recorded his first album entirely alone. What could Keith have done ? I wonder if he was even capable of trying his own shoelaces and playing more than 10 chords. I think that it's time to stop the deification of artists who were a product of another age, and the idolisation of the sex and drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle and admit that Keith wouldn't be taking cheap shots at other worthwhile artists, 'cause he would've been 6 feet in the ground. But being a very rich rock star, he was able to pull himself from the brink and survive, unlike many of his contemporaries who kicked the bucket early on.

Keith has never liked mainstream Rock. Without the Roll it's thud thud thud. No soul, no swing.
Kind of like everything the Stones have made for the last 40 years.
@@EdmundDonnelly-i3q LOL Yep.
@@EdmundDonnelly-i3q unless you listen to the records
@@EdmundDonnelly-i3q -- I agree. I saw the Stones in '79 and they were awful. No, actually they would have had to be 10 times better just to work their way up to awful. Keith couldn't play or sing harmony. He was a joke. At least Mick tried.
@@EdmundDonnelly-i3q 54 as of 2024.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion.
Keith the MAN. Always liked him on all levels.
"John Bonham was heavy-handed" !! Errrr that was kind of the whole point with Bonzo!...
Let's face it, Keith has been an innovator in his career, but his tastes are very conservative. He doesn't really like much other than blues and R'n'B. Also, I think he sees other bands as rivals to his own. He wants the Stones to always be 'The greatest rock'n'roll band in the world', whereas Mick has always been more open-minded and interested in new artists.
Keith does see them as rivals. I think a lot of his remarks are from a combo of jealousy and making controversial comments as free publicity
@@wildwillie5408 to be fair, he often slags off Mick Jagger, despite loving him!
“Paint it black” is a great song - that said, one of its co-authors - Richards - does seem to daub the black stuff on others and their accomplishments - and - as the other writer of the foregoing song says of Richards - “He’s not a happy man……” . I rest my case !
He says stuff like that just to be contrarian . He likes to go against the grain and be rebellious and non-conforming about everything.
Sorry but I have to agree with Keith about the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album...the first time I saw and heard the album I had the same reaction as Keith!!!
And yet The Stones then did Their Satanic Majesties Request which was 100% their poor ass lame attempt to produce their own Sgt Pepper's.
@chrisbotelho7212 now that really WAS crap
Dude is honest about his opinions. Shouldn’t be criticized for it
I would like to hear more from him. I agreed with everything he said.
I agree with you.
At this point, isn't getting shade from Keef basically the ultimate complement?
He's a darling - saw him in concert in 1965 - wow.
