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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?!" 🙄

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!

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.

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

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.

Mick at the end - absolute gem! 🤣

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

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. 😘

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

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.

Does he have christmas ornaments hanging off his head thingy ?

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.

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.

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!❤🎉

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?

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.

Opinions are like assholes… Everybody has one.☺️ ☺️

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

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.

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.😊

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

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

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.

Prince sounded HORRIBLE in that clip lol

Also agree with him on Oasis

Gotta remember, viewers, this is show business. Acting stoned is part of the image.

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.

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.

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

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

Mick hit the nail on the head.

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

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.

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

Nothin' fake 'bout Keef.

Opinion from the biggest poser in music history.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The guy who made this video has also done the same with Jimi Hendrix.. ('Jimi Hendrix hated these five bands') and has prob'ly done the same with others. This is totally contrived and deliberately angled to highlight (his own?) negativity. For instance, when Keith says that John wanted to 'be a Stone for a night' he simply meant that John could let his hair down and get wasted. He is not trying to denigrate the Beatles by saying that. Another point that people seem to have picked up on in the comments is that the narrator talks about 'his band-mate'. This is not a factual error but simply an error of diction; what he meant to say was 'his fellow musician'. As for Sergeant Pepper, well I listened to it when I was young, always preferred the Double White and Let it Be. Still like Good Morning and A Day in the Life... I agree with many here who say it is over-rated. But then, the polls are often very artificial. I sometimes think that polls should not be 'the best album' or 'the best film' but 'my favourite album' and 'my favourite film'. There seems to be a phenomenon that happens where critics, and then people, just go along with 'received wisdom'. My personal favourites are not necessarily the ones in the polls. One's tastes change also with the years. Now I'm old (68) I love to listen to the Beach Boys, who I originally 'grew out of' when I was about 13 or 14. Similarly, people's favourite movies are usually NOT Citizen Kane, The Third Man, Lawrence of Arabia or Jeanne Dielman (recently voted best film ever!?!). If you love some films and can watch them multiple times, then surely they are 'the best films ever made'? Your favourite albums or songs are also 'the best ever made'. It's personal, it's individual, it's not a collective. How awful it would be if you were only allowed to listen to what someone else has decided is 'the best'... OK, 'nuff from me!

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

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.

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

The good die young. You are so right Keith.

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.

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

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

You can't criticize Keith Richards for being Keith Richards. His lasting power isn't just his music, it's also his image as a forefather of a gritty rock and roll lifestyle. Today, I'd rather listen to Richards talk about his experiences for 2 hours than pay $1000 for a ticket to watch them clumsily sludge through a concert at a cavernous sports arena.

He is absolutely a Legend and entitled to his Opinion. I've said it Before about Other Musicians Likes & Dislikes, It Does Not Matter to me what They Say! I Like what I Like and Nobody will Change my Mind. So, I look at These Videos with a Wonder of WHO Really Cares? For Me, The Stones reached their Peak in the Early 70's. Does anybody Care?

Interesting to hear his opinions.

“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 !

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

No Jones, no Stones.

How about a one-on-one TV show with Keith Richards and Ozzy Osbourne discussing their past escapades when they were younger men. It could be a PPV event for charity. Of course, you'd have to have the "Closed Caption" turned on, or have an interpreter telling us what was said.

I think Keith was jealous about all the musicians that were technically so much better then he was. He probably hated that LZ was so much bigger then the stones in the 70's . Proven with ticket sales, album sales and all the Beetles records they broke . Imagine how good he could have been if he wasn't always toasted.

I am 61 years old. I have been listening to music my whole life and I agree Keith about prince. While I think Prince was okay. I thought he was more of a stage act, than a musician.

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

That bit of news reel is completely absurd to me; first, he treats someone's citicising anything about the Beatles as news, then goes on to say 'but he's *old!*' Who thought that would be good journalism?

Southern stones in Madison Square Garden it was either 82 or 3 Prince was a warm-up band he was bottled off the stage I guess the people in New York weren't ready for him

Sorry but I have to agree with Keith about the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album...the first time I saw and heard the album I had the same reaction as Keith!!!

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

There's a vid on the tube with Keith trying to deal with Chuck Berry. We also notice that the narrator who kicked this thing off has a noticeable lisp..

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

Have to say, I agree with Keith, except to say I don't think there was much "beautiful" about Lennon (given how much of himself he exposed in his songs and public behavior) -- I'm sure he was fun to hang out with if he respected you, but if not, then look out!

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

Year 2072 anyone? Keith: Yep

Personally I love the Stones, especially the era from Satisfaction till Sticky Fingers. Keith's book is a damn good read. He owes his guitar style ( tuning and no low E string) to his music and drugging buddy, GRAM PARSONS. That he is one of the most opinionated musicians of the old school is obvious. Making controversial statements are very useful for keeping him and his Stone buddies on the global media's radar. Some of his beefs have some validity and some are hackney BOLLOCKS. He hardly rates as a great guitarist these days, but his contribution as a co-writer with Jagger has produced a plethora of classic rock songs. Some of his observations are downright embarrassing. Example, at the age of 18, Prince recorded his first album entirely alone. What could Keith have done ? I wonder if he was even capable of trying his own shoelaces and playing more than 10 chords. I think that it's time to stop the deification of artists who were a product of another age, and the idolisation of the sex and drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle and admit that Keith wouldn't be taking cheap shots at other worthwhile artists, 'cause he would've been 6 feet in the ground. But being a very rich rock star, he was able to pull himself from the brink and survive, unlike many of his contemporaries who kicked the bucket early on.

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

Most “stars” are consumed with being #1 and will only put others down to try to get press or make themselves seem better than they are. Look out for the ones singing other artists’ praises during interviews, they’re the real ones! Smart & confident enough to recognize they’ve “already got” the interview & attention, and kind enough to shine light on others. Those are the real heroes!

Keith is easily my favorite neo classical shred guitarist

I love his talent. He shreds. Truth is he’s dead but nobody told him. Still shreds.

Keith tells it like it is.
