  1. Paul would say that, but for me the stones are more authentic and better. Yes the stones didn't have a type of track like A day in the life, but the Beatles never had a Gimme shelter or you can't always get what you want etc. Having said that I've always loved both of them ✌️💚

  2. Were those supposed to be words of praise from McCartney? The guy who gave us cutesy little bits of fluff like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer…Obla Di Obla Da…Rocky Racoon…Martha My Dear…When I’m 64…Your Mother Should Know…and so on? Half of the crap McCartney wrote belongs on a children’s record, not a rock album.

    And Jeff Beck didn’t want to play three chord songs with the Stones? Did he ever listen to them? They delved into more styles of music than Beck ever did. He wouldn’t have fit in anyway. He’s more into making annoying sound effects with his guitar than he is playing actual songs. Name an iconic song or riff of Jeff Beck’s…just one.

    Pete Townshend and Angus Young were the only two in this video that knew what they were talking about.

  3. I grew up metal, worshipping the speed and technical skills. I played that stuff and thought it was the pinnacle. but as I aged and understood feel and style, I came to realize how incredible Keith is. He is far and away my favorite guitar player.

  4. WOW! It was kinda cool seeing Jimmy Page Stoned out of his Gourd trying to do an interview!! Keith is Timeless! As Sam Kinnison once said.. I want some Drugs, You want some Drugs, But we Can't because Keith took All of them!! He didnt Share! 🙂 My Fave Stones song is Gimme Shelter.

  5. Keith Richards peaked as a guitarist at the age of 24 and never progressed any further. In fact, he's been in a backslide for the last 10 years. So, since 1967 that's 47 years of stagnation and 10 years of regression.

  6. What it comes down to is the music book. There are thousands of fast shredding technically skilled guitarists in local bars but they can only "cover" or at best, limited song writing ability. Going by the writing ability and adding in hit/iconic songs, Richards is hands down the best living guitarist in the world.

  7. I've seen em live 11 times they are the greatest to ever do it live. Keef is my favorite, but Charlie was neck and neck with keef for favorite stone lol. R.i.p. Charlie watts best drummer in my opinion

  8. There guys who are more technically advanced soloists, from guys like Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn… Clapton, Knoffler, but if your talking about pure rhythm, its hard to go past Keith. How many bands had hits from the early 60's to the early 80's? I can only think of the Stones. As far as I am aware, theres only two guitarists that have chords named after them. ..Theres the ''Hendrix Chord'', (E7#9.) Then there's the Richards chord that looks like a Bm7 but is actually a ''d'' since he only plays the top 4 strings…. he hammers it on and off to give that iconic Stones riff everyone knows from ''start me up'' and so many other tracks. Hendrix and Richards, those are the two!!
