👏👏👏👏

Correct.

Kaneyaugustus1 in Mick's own words: "The Beatles wrote the song who gave us, the Stones, our big break."

of course

Or a member from zeppelin, just saying.

***** Never heard of it... I'll Google it right now.

The Kinks were banned from the U.S. so unfortunately they did not invade. Quite a shame.

Marco Santiesteban BANNED?... Never knew that... The ban didn't last too long, cause I saw them LIVE back in 1983

I guess it was relatively short, but the timing was just awful.

Marco Santiesteban I hate to admit it, but Elton John had some great hits too.

Hi, Ak Ak: Its human nature to compare. Having said that, Mick graciously admitted that the Beatles opened the doors for them. Your right, there is no comparison between the 4-headed monster and the Stones. In short, no Beatles, no Stones. Have a great day!

@@paulstewart8947 I prefer the Fab Four,but it's bad that everyone compares them so much that they forget how much geniuses both bands were

@@h96573: Hi Ak. Thanks for your reply. I also prefer the Fab Four by far. While the Stones have a long history and the fact that they are still touring around world today speak volumes about them. Having said that, when one complies all of the songs written and released by both Beatles and Stones, there simply is no comparison. I do appreciate that Mick was honest in saying that the Beatles opened the doors for them. Take care and have a great day!

@@paulstewart8947 dear Paul, indeed, The Beatles' songs are no comparison with the ones the Stones wrote. They both greatly influenced rock music, and must get the most sincere congratulations for the masterpieces they've created. Rock on!

The Rolling Stones changed nothing

Agree

I like the Beatles and the stones

@@mariocassina90 this is highly accurate

@@sasapekic7034 How dare you say you like both. You are supposed to argue for eternity who is greater then throw in Dylan and so forth.

Not forgetting David Bowie, Elton John, Duran Duran, ELO, Robert Palmer and many more🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I need to be myself

Deep purple , black sabbath

great bands,but not pink floyd garbage.

ok

stegsify Mick Jagger is jealous of The Beatles. Always was, always will be.

Revolver you're funny

Revolver there is always that one bitter fanboy. Shut up

stegsify love the stones

They are both great bands. I can't imagine picking 1 over the other to be honest with you.

It's comparing apples to oranges - they're completely different bands from start to finish. It's unfortunate that people make comparisons since they are both from the same era and were personally connected, because musically they are in two different universes.

***** Could I get extra ketchup on my burger please

***** Agree! ..I don't understand peoples need to compare musicians. Both great groups

Absolutely

+Dream On yeah i liked it very much too, ... very sincere

Mick obviously admired them , and it went both ways . I remember Mick & George were the competitive ones back then . I have never heard Mick say any thing bad about anyone , he is always soft and very well spoken ..

Admired them? Ripped them off on every level. I do agree with Richard Smith, though. Peace eeeearrrnd love.

Dream On o

Be fair. The Beatles never wrote Gimme Shelter. Beast of Burden. Sympathy For The Devil. Tumblin Dice. It's not one or the other. Both were part of the amazing Rock panopoly that just inspired each other and created a tapestry of music for decades to come.

That is too funny.

+Richard Venora hahaha

God bless him... the little creature.

Richard Venora the Jagger swagger ! The best front man in rock and roll !

lmao

It’s always been my impression Lennon was envious of the Stones, especially Mick.

@Ken Cheek The Beatles is overrated anyway.

Ken Cheek "

@@alexdelarge703 your kidding,right? Lennon was vastly superior to Mick in songwritting, singing and as a musician. Jagger didn't even write music, just lyrics. How many stone songs did Jagger write the music for?

@Ken Cheek agree. Terrible speech. He gave like two minor compliments. I don't get why all these comments are praising this speech. I also recall an interview here with John where he said the Stones had said some negative things about the beatles, and it hurt him

Yep! He's been on top of everything for years! Jagger the shagger!

Rafael S He's very intelligent

Musicians back then weren't like musicians today. They were well-educated, intelligent, articulate people who wrote their own music because they were genuinely innovative and creative people who were absolute scholars of classical/romantic music, which was basically what their genre of music was. Bands like the Stones and the Beatles basically got their sounds by combing elements of the blues that they loved, with the classical music styles they learned in school.

He's a successful lyricist from a middle class English background, and has a degree in economics, so it's no surprise that he's good with words lol

@@panzerkind2190 I don't agree that most musicians were well-educated. Most didn't even finish school :D

@@valentins.2637Many went to art school :)

selflessly ?

Comparing them to Mozart, that was cute

And I fuck off

austin teutsch sorry but the Rolling Stones will not live forever in the same light as Mozart. The Beatles, on the other hand, might well do...

Well said. bravo

Yes Absolutely beautiful. it's a powerful message!

sorry, did he actual talk about them, i thought it was hid award,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

He gives them credit the whole speech.

Tattyshoes Shigure hoy teacher leave them kids alone!

Very humid and very real even after all this pain and this is a few years ago I’ve loved him for the beginning you know who is grateful for what they’ve

Actually. he is the best frontman to have ever existed.

Herdiegsa amen

He is the BEST, Robert Plant would be second.

Guys i think u forgot freddie mercury

@@franegobin8195 personally I don't consider Freddie a real rock front man, so much of his music and personna reminded me of a Las Vegas show tune act performer , I think he is highly overrated

BradWietersen lol u joking for sure

Yeah I heard that as well

The Beatles recorded that song as well

Stephen Springer lol elvis’ music teacher said the same thing and failed him HAHAAAAA! But that’s cool the Beatles had the same thing happen to them! What a coincidence!

it's because the mind is what creates music. They probably had shitty minds at the time. The lady was probably right

Stephen Springer why didnt that music teacher become a comedian???

@Boss_Man_T Exactly. I don't think most people understand that. I know several very talented musicians but they can't write a song to save their life. They just play other people's material. Songwriting is a whole other skill and The Beatles had it in spades.

At audition DECCA records rejected the Beatles before EMI/ Capitol later signed them up.

naturally he is. an authentic person, bornm on the most favourable date I can imagine (it´s my birthday as well... 26.07.!!!! in the "Quersumme" this is 33. 33 becomes 6 (which is the favourite number of a former friend of mine who I still love from all of my heart..... Any questions???? I know I am a bit weird, but at least to myself everything has reached the form of a balloon by now and I feel like being able to "rule the world"....

Love you Mick ❤️❤️❤️

Prolly cause he wasn't expecting to be famous

Especially when hes knocking up underaged girls

@@GavinJ37 and is on the flight logs to Epstein's pedo island. Good ol' Sir Mick.

The Beatles didn’t need The Rolling Stones to push them to write great stuff.

Did they see you? No? OK...

teppolundgren Did you see em? No? OK then...

fishinsolitude I've seen Paul and Ringo, and yes, they did see me. John was apparently cremated, so I never got a chance to dig him up. Of course, he wouldn't have seen me, even if I had.

I saw Santa Claus who gives a shit!!!

That was ugly. Nasty person.

Hi there.. how are you doing? Happy new year with good health and prosperity

I get your point but imo, it's not comparing apples to oranges. It's comparing apples to other really good apples.

why do u have to compare in a competitive way? why not just say: wow, both of them are unimaginably good, and if you try to have a glance behind the curtain: there are influences from the beatles at the stone´s songs. As far as I remember it was the beatles first and they influenced also the stones, if it had been the other way round, I am convinced the beatles would have been influenced by the stones as well, because both bands are kind of geniuses and those people tend to walk through life (sorry denglish) with open minds.... optionally

So it's good if it's POP Rythym and Blues. some seem to compare the other bands against the Beatles, call the Beatles a POP Band The others are called Gritty , Harder, whatever. Hey People ! ALL BRITISH BANDS are POP. whatever genre you pick, R&B, Rock, , the Brita Took our American Rock Heroes Music and presented a homogenized version back, and all you can say is these bands are the best. Let's not include the Root Bands, and musicians that Started these genres and are way more gritty,, no we want to compare the Best Band to the other copy cats and say they are grittier, Harder. ALL BRITISH MUSIC IS POP.

Gaby H You’re

+Andrew Brennan The Stones suck live. Have since 1972.

+Andrew Brennan - Saw The Rolling Stones last year. Didn't really expect much but was happily surprised. An overall strong performance!

Hi Lynn, how's your collection of Monkees memorabilia going? Did you get Mickey Dolenz's other brown sock? Asking for a friend.

"Lynn Turman4 years ago +Andrew Brennan The Stones suck live. Have since 1972." They were spot-on when I saw them at Wembley in the mid-90s.

@@rattusnorvegicus4380 It must have been great. And years later, we got Shine a light as documentary evidence!

I agree. This is a fine speech. I like the line "They were the four headed monster. They always went everywhere together." And although the Stones out did the Beatles in scruffiness they had more affluent backgrounds than did any of the Fab Four who came from hard scrabble working class Liverpoole families. Ringo and George both dropped out before graduating from high school. None of them spent time in college. And yet they wrote some of the most sophisticated pop music ever to be heard. They had 20 number one hits in eight years. No other act comes close. The Beatles output was astonishing. They recorded 215 songs in that short time period. Sometimes you'll hear people say they're over rated. Sometimes I think so too but then I go back and listen to some of the music they did and their progression from teeny bopper songs like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" which have a nice driving dance beat and good guitar riffs to more complicated pieces found on their later works found on Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road. They were constantly evolving and getting better. I think they broke up at the right time. The Beatles as a group retired at the top of their game.

Thanks for your wonderful response. I loved "Revolver"...this is when I feel , "The Beatles" were in transition musically.

Blaster Dan Yes, Ringo came from a poor family and Paul's family was near-poor following his mother's death. John and Paul both lost their mothers while in their teens, and John and Ringo came from broken homes. George was the only one who had a happy home free of tragedy.

+Maye McDonald Mick dropped out of LSE long before getting his degree to concentrate on his music.

He attended the London School of Economics but didn't graduate. He left for music though he was doing very well. Mick is extremely intelligent.

The Beatles forever😉

The Beatles, and Brian Jones, forever.

strawberry fields forever!

Visionary Dreams holy crap that man is still going 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And Bill Wyman will be dating that kid within 2 years.

Lourdes Rodriguez IKR!!! I swear some Beatles fans can be absolute idiots!!! They literally try to cram they're opinion up your ass and make every other band look like nothing...

I agree!

You can.

No opinion necessary, just listen to the Stones cover Beatles songs right here on KZfaq. the covers are lazy, horrible sounding, and prove to the non fans that wanna cram the Stones are Gritier,, Dirtier argument down the Beatle fans throat, that the Beatles were tighter then any band , and wrote better tunes, used better notes, not G this G that . Beatles are just better.,reaching back 20 years to gritty old Blues and creating the British Pop version and calling it Gritty is absurd.

Like you said, no opinion necessary. Especially yours you fanboy.

Mark Hutchinson Surely Brian Wilson would spring to mind

Oh correct Max...well put...my respects

I really the Beatles and the Stones...the good times...not the idol worship of mistakes of mortals....but I love the energy and the sounds of a generation trying to figure it out like we all do at our best.

Truth Indeed AMEN

+Terry Murphy Yep. "Mick's put out consistently good work for twenty years...." -- John Lennon, 1980.

Over 50 yrs and still going .

did a lot of drugs together

Mick Jagger and Brian Jones helped with backing vocals and sound effects for the song Yellow Submarine. Brian Jones was the one clinking glasses together in the second verse when Ringo says "and our friends are all aboard". They were also among the people who joined in the song's final chorus.

The “rivalry“ helped both their careers. It created interest. I loved the Beatles at first until I started being asked “Who do you like? Beatles or Stones?” It was as if you had to choose sides. So I started listening to the Stones because of it. Beatles were the golden boys, Stones were the neighborhood ruffians.

You mean like... kid rock?

no rappers

+seattwa Who even is that?

+Andrew Bulger You don't want to know.

Kid Rock was pretty wild in Woodstock '99. You gotta at least give him that

From LA. Right on DR.Ray. good night to all.

Brain Eastern lol Was that George’s Indian uncle?

Hi there.. how are you doing? Happy new year with good health and prosperity

I remember the talk about rivalry yet don't remember talk about friendship between the groups. The speech was as much insightful as it was gracious. We got insight into the real way it was. Thank you Mick!
