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

WGAF what rockers think of each other? They got egos like actors. Ballooning and very fragile. Like them or not the Stones created one of the greatest Rock ‘ Roll phenomena in history. I guess that gives Keith some cred.
WTF is “Oasis” anyhow?
why did you click on it?
I actually agree except maybe some of Elton John’s songs. and Led without that screechy voice is nice.
Just like my parents and grandparents, when they got into their mid to late 70's the filter they had between mouth and brain just seemed to evaporate. They didn't care one damn bit what they said anymore when they would have held their tongue. All of them said it was "refreshing".
All those songs were written by Bernie Taupin.
I have much mockery for robert plant.
“That” Keith Richards hates. Stopped reading right there to call the grammar police.
I kind of agree with him, mostly. He’s not necessarily wrong. He also famously called the “Sgt Pepper” album “rubbish” and he’s (mostly) right about that, too. I bet he’d say the same about the “White Album”.
Preening Mick never wanged my twang. I mean, maybe chicks dug it. The whole devil worship and satanism thing they had going on undercurrent kind of bothers me as I get older. At least the Beatles steered away from that, mostly.
Yes
In one of his stand up routines, Robin Williams said that when the world ends, it will just be Keith and the roaches with Keith saying to a roach, “I smoked your uncle once”
“Sounds like someone is jealous.”
Absurd.
I’ve never met a musician who isn’t hypercritical.
Just an art thing.
And Plant’s voice is a screech. Page was the best thing about Zeppelin, but nowhere near as good as when he was with Beck in the Yardbirds.
“Who is Keith Richards and why is this news worth wasting FR bandwidth on?”
Along with Bob Dylan, he is the greatest historian of American music alive today.
Plant’s voice is a screech. Page was the best thing about Zeppelin, but nowhere near as good as when he was with Beck in the Yardbirds.
agreed
“In fact... zeppelin is a MUCH better band than the stones and Metallica is too.”
It’s apparent to me you have not seen the Stones and Led Zeppelin live.
Re: Prince, I gave him another chance when he died. He’s a heckuva guitarist, but his music just isn’t for me. And he has some great looking babes in his videos/band, of course.
I agree with him on all but two. (elton and zep)
Found myself strongly agreeing with him on Zeppelin.
I have always disliked that group.
I like a couple of their songs, but most of what is now known as metal is good musicianship wasted on bad (and mostly unlistenable) music.
