I think he hated Mozart since Keith knew him when he he was a baby!

WTF? I didn't hear any hate from Keef at all. He's just speaking his mind.

Its nice to hear people still can have opinions.

Keith can say whatever he wants, he's Keith Richards! I'm almost 70, and Keith has seemed old to me since the 60's LOL!

Hey, that's just Keith being Keith. There's no malice to any of it.

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.

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!

Keith really wouldn't be Keith if He didn't say controversial things. It's one of the things We expect from Him.

After decades of drugs, smoking and drinking, how is this guy still alive? Life makes no sense.

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.

When Keith saw his Stairway to Heaven, he took a drag, flicked the butt, and said “ No, Thanks. Where’s the bloody bar”?

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.

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.

Fortunately, Keith doesn't need your approval and gave the opinions he was asked for. He's still laughing all the way to the bank.

➕ 7. The late David Bowie. Keith Richards complained, "What is with David Bowie and posing?!" 🙄

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.

Does he have christmas ornaments hanging off his head thingy ?

Mick at the end - absolute gem! 🤣

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.

Glad Keith is remembering God's agreement with Abraham with the rainbow headband.

Keith is a very smart gentleman and one Kool Kat I have total respect for him, he’s always treated his woman right he and Patti have been happily married for over 40 years. He’s a mighty fine guitarist/writer/bassist. He’s the,,,♥️,,,of the Stones and my favorite band member! Check out newer interviews with him, he also has a right to his own opinion. 😘

LOL! As opinionated as ol' Keef is, there is always a grain of Truth in it!

Keith has never liked mainstream Rock. Without the Roll it's thud thud thud. No soul, no swing.

Keith always disses Sgt Peppers cos Her Satanic Majesty's request bombed. They tried the hippie thing and it didn't work out for them

0:34 sorry, Lennon was neither Keith's nor Elton's bandmate.

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.

“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 !

Elvis said the rooling stones dancing around on stage like Crazy Chickens 🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔 🤣 🐔 🤣

Opinions are like assholes… Everybody has one.☺️ ☺️

I met Keith and the Stones,for a weekend in St.Louis, Babylon tour, Keith and Ronnie taught me snooker,lol It was an awesome time!❤🎉

Love Kieth and the stones but LED ZEPPELIN is one of the greatest bands of all time he is right on about prince

Keith Richards 'Life' was one of the best autobiographies I ever read.

Nothin' fake 'bout Keef.

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.

Opinion from the biggest poser in music history.

Also agree with him on Oasis

I agree with Keef on a lot of his musical views. Sergeant Pepper is the most overrated album ever. Oasis is just the same song on repeat. LZ have put out some great stuff, but also a lot of trash. The LZ legend doesn't match reality on that front.

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.

Prince sounded HORRIBLE in that clip lol

Rory Gallagher, the best guitarist the Rolling Stones never had, at the time Rorys tour of Japan was more important to him..

I’ve listened to Sergeant Pepper often and I seem to agree with Keith

i like doggie in the window, great instructional tune for waltz and augmented chords, and a pioneer in over dubbing, patty page, eh jimmy...

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.

Guess they asked him what he thought...and he told them..its just observations and an opinion..and everyone's got one of those. He's walking talking rock and roll history.😊

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?

Well Kieth I have a question. Are there any artists that you approve of. Besides the stones that is.

He blew being in the position of able to PROMOTE others.

Mick hit the nail on the head.

Please Keith ! The stones been doing the same stuff for 50 years!

You just KNEW he was gonna get around to Oasis.

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.

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.

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.

Because we're all laying awake at night wondering what Keith is thinking....

now I know two things Keith Richards has in common with Elvin Bishop. Both cite "how much is that doggie in the window" as the pop music of their early years & both were hooked on R&B and blues music as teenagers. Elvin went to Chicago on a scholarship because that was the center of the electrified blues in the 50s and 60s and he first got popular as a founding member of Paul Butterfield Blues Band.

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.

Interesting to hear his opinions.

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.

The good die young. You are so right Keith.

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.

There's a fair share of folks out there critical of the Keith-dom himself, especially on his playing, and creativity or like they say - lack of it over these last 30 years. I think the spark went out of him a pretty long time ago. These guys are all dancing skeletons at this point.

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

When I heard Noel Gallagher say "Keef," I knew immediately that he actually gets the guy. Noel is a class guy too. Although sadly, I suspect he supports Man. City, which is gross.

He’s 😎 🎸 definitely going to live long enough to bury his competitors. 😇🎸

So good to see Prince jam and adlib. Miss him and his music.

Have to agree with Sargent Pepper & Prince, never got the appeal.

It seems like Keith forgets what he's talking about half way through and just cuts it short with a summation.

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.

Had no idea that Rowley Birkin (QC) had a career in rock and roll

Several million music lovers would disagree with Keith Richard's biases. Let us know when he comes down from his eternal high. 😅😅😅

Keith Richards, Pete Townsend, and Frank Zappa all think they are the only ones doing music right.

Great ending “no he’s not a happy person” lol

I love Keef but for sure I'd rather be Mick, who seems to really enjoy life.

He seems pretty accurate to me.

Grumpy old man

I would like to hear more from him. I agreed with everything he said.

Pray for his soul. That he saves himself from where John Lennon is.

Elton John is the king of self-promotion and belittlement of others. His favorite scheme, which he pulled off everywhere, was to hire contractors to build sets, drive limousines, etc. during his concert tours and them have the corporation he'd formed for just that city's appearance declare bankruptcy after they'd paid out all the profits to him, leaving the contractors high and dry.

You really need to have your head examined if you think Prince is anywhere near Beck, Page, Hendrix or Eddie.

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.

Year 2072 anyone? Keith: Yep

I couldn't agree with him more about Prince. Spot on.

Paul said about the stones: Just a good blues's band. I agree

Im really disheartened by these ridiculous rock stars sniping about one another. They are very immature and petty . I am a musician in the realm of early music. It is a competitive field but we all remain supportative with each other. These clowns should grow up and realize there is lots of room for different takes and tastes.

He’s not a happy person - Classic. A few of the things he said rang true - While The Stones have produced some gems a lot of their music is Reconfiguring rock & blues licks.

I guess if your not kieth Richard's, your no good

All thumbs and no fingers

Two things to survive a nuclear war, cockroaches and Keith Richards!!

Hey Keith tell the world that Grams Parsons wrote Wild Horses.

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

Granted, The Beatles finally showed some signs of going off in their own directions after their split. You know, before 2 of them died too young. But, mostly, I feel like the members of both groups faithfully stuck to their expected roles, and what made them famous: The Beatles were the happy, nice guys. And, the Stones have always kept to their bad boy image. If this video was Keith Richards gushing over another well known musician, we'd think it was CGI or a forgery. 2 things i have to add: 1. That said, just this past week, I read that Mick Jagger regularly does some pretty thoughtful and generous things for people. He goes out of his way to do them. I can't remember what it was on the latest occasion. But, he's not some ogre who just keeps hitting the cash register. I don't know about Keith Richards. But, I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar with him. 2. Comic Steven Wright once mentioned these guys in his standup routine: "The Stones-I love the Stones. I can’t believe they’re still doing it after all these years. I watch ’em whenever I can. Fred, Barney…"

Johnny Depp is his favorite guitarist of all time.😂

How the hell is he still alive?

No Jones, no Stones.

That's what being a junkie does to your mind.

He's a big fan of NRBQ, the man's got good taste.

I agree with Keith Richards . He likes blues purists , Hendrix , BB King , Muddy Waters , Trower , Clapton ....

What's up with the rainbow Keith? I never knew you were fluffy.

Keith plays the guitar the Keith' way and he great at it. But with all due respect, without Mick Jagger , nobody would have heard of him

He's correct on everything he said. Hell it is Keith? Of coarse he's right.
