Keith Richards Criticizes Led Zeppelin And The Who

Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones were apt pupils not only of Waters and Wolf; they also studied Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, Elmore James, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Solomon Burke, and a few other blues and R&B greats.

Over the course of promotion for his new solo album Cross-eyed Heart, Richards has managed to poke fun at Black Sabbath, Metallica, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and all of hip hop.

Doctors and scientists say older people need less sleep – and if TMZ is right about the Rolling Stones’ tour rider, we have a pretty good idea of how the band members are using those extra waking hours on the road.

The veteran guitarist said the Stones are his top priority, so when he found a small break from the band, he used the time to put out his own music and release a documentary, “Keith A. Under the Influence”, on Netflix. But no, I got this record coming up.

Q. So what’s happening with the upcoming Stones album? The X-pensive Winos heed the call, as Richards talk-sings a complaint that anyone ever annoyed by a dinner companion absorbed with a digital device can appreciate: “What is that thing attached to your ear / I’m talkin’ to you, but you don’t seem to hear / I’m paying for dinner / and I might as well not be here”. I’m so glad people like it as much. Me? “But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it (the band), you know”, Richards told Rolling Stone magazine. “F**k it. I’ll live with it. After 50 years on the stage, you’re going to fall over occasionally and take a knock”. It’s been a bit mind-blowing, actually.
