From David Bowie to Led Zeppelin: 6 legendary artists that Keith Richards hates
faroutmagazine ^

Posted on 06/07/2021 9:36:11 AM PDT by mylife

David Bowie

Oasis

Prince

Elton John, he never really got on with the ‘Your Song’ singer, “An old bitch… his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes,” Richards once said of the Rocketman without so much as a second thought.

Led Zeppelin, “The guy’s voice started to get on my nerves. I don’t know why; maybe he’s a little too acrobatic.”

Metallica

Hell, I don’t know. It could be some kind of spice produced by giant worms delivered to Keith’s pad in London?

Dang it. That is the better joke and right up my alley too. I always make Dune references (its my fave).

Yes. melange does have longevity properties, as you remind me. Good one.

Bowie, something else. Listen to Ziggy and Aladdin Sane. Even my 10 year old said when one song finished: how did he do that? Mick Ronson, whoa!
Agree on Zep. Boring. No melody. Bowie was all melody.

The 2019 “Talk is Cheap” Remaster album is quite good. Just listened to it last week.

That is a good album, agreed pretty much better than any 80s Stones album.

Keith was the first rocker I ever heard of getting regular blood transfusions (to kick his heroin habit) back in the late ‘60s, early ‘70s.

I still have a hard time believing that Mick and Keith wrote all those songs. But, I guess they really did. Brian Jones was actually the gifted musician.

I read the entire article and got lots of laughs. GO KEEF!! His tiff with Elton John must be partly because Keef is anti-gay. Or anti-gay the way Elton does his gay schtick. Keith sure used to pile on women’s eye makeup.

“He’s wrong on Zeppelin and Metallica, he’s correct on the rest. In fact... zeppelin is a MUCH better band than the stones and Metallica is too.”

The top LZ tunes have vastly more youtube views than the top Stones tunes. I like them both but LZ has endured better over the years and up to today.

The Today show once had Prince on just by himself for two tunes. Him and his electric guitar. He was amazing. The guitar work was amazing.

I have yet to watch that show, as I have yet to put the room together to appreciate the show, as I gather it is very special.

Miles Davis said Prince was a musical genius.
