Led Zeppelin: "Jimmy Page is an alright guitarist and I enjoy some of his playing, but it always feels so...empty, like there's something missing from it."
Black Sabbath and Metallica: "There's millions of people out there who love Black Sabbath and Metallica, but I always thought they were big jokes. I don't know where exactly Metallica got their inspiration from, but if it came from me, then I know I totally fucked up."
The Beatles: "Sgt. Pepper is nothing but a load of mishmash."
The Bee Gees: "What a joke those guys are. Every interview of theirs, they do nothing but talk about how many suits they own. It really is for children, isn't it?"
Oasis: "Totally immature. Grow up a bit and come back."
Guns'N'Roses: "I admit, I liked their attitude but their musicianship was sorely lacking."
Bob Dylan: "He's a nasty little man. One time he said to me 'I could write Satisfaction, but you couldn't write Desolation Row.' And I said 'You're correct. I couldn't write Desolation Row.'"
Dude's just jelly that all those other guys are more relevant than him whether they're still working, retired or dead.
Parker Roberts
The Noel Gallagher or the 60s/70s
Angel Smith
>Oasis: "Totally immature. Grow up a bit and come back." Correct.
Ryder Miller
He made Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. He can say whatever he wants t b h.
Elijah Perry
the stones never made a good album glorified singles band
John Bailey
Guns'N'Roses can never get enough shit
Alexander Gutierrez
this is a fact
And this guy has the nerve to criticize Sgt Pepper when it's better than his entire discography
Jaxson Gray
60s stones is still great, but yeah richards is a tool
Kevin Robinson
this
even the bee gees
the fucking bee gees are more relevant than this, whatever it is, prune person
James Perry
Sweet Child of Mine being a lasting hit is worse than Trump getting elected.
Ian Walker
>Bob Dylan: "He's a nasty little man. One time he said to me 'I could write Satisfaction, but you couldn't write Desolation Row.' And I said 'You're correct. I couldn't write Desolation Row.'" fucking rekt, git gud keef
Dominic Perry
Even Slash hated that song.
Connor Carter
sure
and you can bet it will be #1 all over the world.
Lucas Wilson
I remember reading somewhere that John Lennon once said "Keith Richards? He's not even the best guitar player in the Stones"
Charles Morales
Eh, I can agree with him about Led Zeppelin. All of the members of the band have impressive abilities but nothing I've listened to by them (and I've listened to their full discography + the reunion live album) felt like it was something they just had to put out. It's always felt like their music's just kind of there.
Adrian Butler
I mean, it's not a bad record and it is tasteful and age appropriate as opposed to being in your 70s and singing Satisfaction.
Gabriel Jones
that's the only thing i can't agree with him.
Josiah Hughes
This is just Keith purposely being an old fuck trolling, he was promoting his new album. He can do whatever he wants
No that's the Ringo Starr not being the best drummer of the Beatles
Aaron Johnson
Paul McCartney was the best guitarist, drummer, bassist and singer of The Beatles
Lucas Smith
Fuck. This actually really accurate.
Jaxson Sanchez
To be honest, they did begin their career back when pop music was still singles; AOR was pioneered by groups like Jefferson Airplane that came along a bit after the Stones.
Ryan Hughes
fucking plebs get off my board
Easton Ortiz
>defends the rolling stones >class others plebs
Cameron Torres
Everything quoted is pretty much spot on.
Thomas Roberts
based keith
I fucking love people who arent complete pussy faggots and tip toe around their own opinions
whether you agree with them or not is irrelevant
Mason Ortiz
Forgot these:
Elton John: "Nasty little fellow. All he does is write songs about dead blondes."
The Who: "If you want to torture me, lock me in a room with Roger Daltrey singing. Pete Townshend is a nice fellow, but he overthinks everything way too much."
Christian Wright
those aren't his own opinions though
Andrew Foster
we should have a thread dedicated to dickish quotes tbqh
Brayden Wright
ahahhe le dad rock xD
Josiah Gray
When your opinions aren't dissimilar from those of a 12 year old on youtube it's not something to be proud of.
Parker Thomas
yea pretty much this
Josiah Sanchez
"I urge all of you to go out and vote for Labour. If the Tories win, Phil Collins is threatening to move back here from Switzerland and none of us wants that!"
Aaron Hughes
kek is that supposed to be impressive?! pls
Jacob Brown
I mean Keith has never been particularly tight in a live context but he is absolutely a great arbiter of musicianship in Rock 'n' Roll. The Stones had groove and they played dirty and sweet too. Plenty of great albums, anybody who disagrees is a pleb of the highest order whose idea of rock 'n' roll is all skewed by the Velvet Underground and descendants or worse, Sabbath and descendants. Rock w/o country, blues, gospel has forgotten something and keef knos.
Noah Turner
That's actually pretty funny.
Aaron Thomas
the gallaghers are a treasure trove of quotes
Grayson Brooks
Go back to shitposting in the Greg Lake sticky, Christgau.
Jason Sanchez
this man knows
keef is a god and youre all millenial plebs
literally all 'rock' music that exists today was influenced by the stones
Justin Johnson
I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking [indecipherable] don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!
Parker Torres
There's no other person on the planet who could write Desolation Row. Not sure if that's good or bad thing
Kayden Howard
haha as if christgau would shit-talk The Velvet Underground - u do not know what u are talking about. i don't diss prog or hard rock outright, but I think more credit is due to music that is less contrived and welcome the musings of an old crank
Eli Sanders
>Pete Townshend is a nice fellow WOW! Really?
Henry Taylor
He was drunk when he said that. Funny how Buddy Guy and him are great friends. >"Eric Clapton and I are the best of friends and I like the tune "Strange Brew" and we were sitting and having a drink one day and I said 'Man, that "Strange Brew" ... you just cracked me up with that note.' And he said 'You should...cause it's your licks ...' " You're not fooling anyone.
Aiden Thompson
he was right about the saudis though eh
Liam Parker
Who else is a nice fellow? Charles Manson? Ritchie Blackmore?
Robert Adams
...
Jordan Johnson
Jimmi Page is super nice guy too
Connor Jones
there's a good reason these guys are paid to make music and not to critique music or be pundits.
> do i really have to use meme arrows or upload bait.jpg for you to understand i was being sarcastic?
Noah Murphy
You mean the hundreds of girls under 16 he raped and also all the stolen songs.
Dominic Wright
led zeppelin killed a groupie by shoving a great white shark up her pussy
hardly nice fellows
they were satan worshipers
Landon Butler
>killed a groupie
nope
Sebastian Cook
Sabbath > Rolling Stones though
Parker Robinson
nice try
Christian Powell
kek does he like anyone?
Aaron Morales
Thanks for making me think of Let It Bleed, gonna go listen to it now
Austin Ramirez
old blues musicians
Levi Martin
Only blues and Chuck Berry.
Adam Barnes
Jagger is a bigger legend then Keef
Jose Butler
t. mick
Matthew Wood
I can't bring myself to hate Keith.
Ryder Morris
You guys do know those quotes aren't real... right?
Jose White
The Sabbath and Metallica one is definitely real. I remember when it was first published and people got mad.
Owen Ross
certainly remember him saying at least something similar about led zeppelin
Gabriel Edwards
This guy gets it
Landon Adams
>what is beggar's banquet >what is let it bleed >what is sticky fingers
Nathaniel Stewart
he's right though. mick taylor is much a better "guitarist"
Mason Cook
half-filler, half-killer like all their work actually, dirty work and steel wheels are all filler
Camden Barnes
You sound like a hack writer for Rolling Stone or Kerrang
Kevin Taylor
pure shite wannabe americans, literal peacocks
Daniel Diaz
>'I could write Satisfaction, but you couldn't write Desolation Row #REKT
Thomas Miller
Probably why they were more popular with Americans than Gary Glitter. :^)
Anthony Garcia
eww
Justin Campbell
...
Nicholas King
Real talk though, Keith Richards was a straight up baddass who wrote lots of iconic rock and roll back in the day, but for the last god knows how long he has gone massively down hill in his ability to actually even fucking play the guitar, and he was never that flash to begin with. Try watching a Rolling Stones live concert from the last ten years and actually following what he's doing, 80% of what he does is just walking around the stage, kinda strumming here or there or noodling the same 3 blues licks aimlessly over everything while the rest of the band actually provides the music. When he does take a "solo" it kinda is just blended into the band just grooving away to make it sound passable, what he's actually playing sounds like someone who's been taking guitar lessons for 6 months jamming in their bedroom.
Aiden Foster
...
Ayden King
lol imagine that dude molesting you
Cooper Mitchell
How the fuck can you play when your hands look like this?
Chase Morris
>Rolling Stones my favorite band is somehow patrician shut the fuck up
Tyler Perez
holy fuck he's a wrinkly bastard. I wonder if he still bangs 20 year old models
Nolan Price
Heaven. The young girls loved him back in the day...
Noah Watson
He has Heberden's Nodules. They're not painful, but they do make it difficult to play guitar.
Jace Garcia
>this is a reply to the same post that names sticky fingers and exile its like youre trying to set yourself up to lose
Oliver Bennett
I don't think Keith does, but I think Mick still does.
Zachary Cruz
how fucking wrong can one post be, exile on main street, beggars banquet, let it bleed, some girls, tattoo you, their satanic majesties? this just proves how many nu-males roam Sup Forums now, if you honestly think there has never been a good stones album you're a contrarian, no single band could have made the legacy they did
Sebastian Perez
Knowledge of Dylan is only good for picking up dumb college girls
Gabriel Thomas
all that old rock is generic boring huff
Michael Wright
>huff beta nu-male detected
Cameron Martinez
well, mick's current girlfriend just had a baby
she's a 29-year-old ballet dancer, close enough
Ian Kelly
lel
no
the rolling stones were keefs band
jagger was just a diva the only people that think mick is bigger are fags most dudes would want to be keef, not mick
Andrew Myers
mick had more technique for leads, but everyone knows that stuff is secondary to the music, keef knew this more than anyone in the band and his playing was all about serving whats best for the song
