i bet you guys didnt know jagger has a lisp from soccer injury in his youth.i think the stones are brave for describin the world as it is , conflict. answering the beatles its all good, everybody will be fine with "no its not,hate, murder, crossfire hurricanes,piano plinks sounding teeth hitting the street in that sleepy london town." use all your well learned politesse.
@lauraandrew7440 Come on! John said a lot of things tongue in cheek. Actually, John was really good friends with the Stones, esp Keith. They hung out together, back in the day. Read Richards' bio Life. John and Mick used to go sailing on John's boat on Long Island in the '70s. On one occasion, after a few vodkas, Mick told him the songs that he would do for John's Rock and Roll album. These guys were never 'enemies'.
This clip is special in that Mick, Keith, etc. are horsing around on Beatles tunes; it's done with an affection that I'm not for certain they even realized at the time - it's well established that both bands were "mates", we all know that John & Paul wrote "I wanna be your man" for them to use, thus helping establish the Rolling Stones in their own right as a musical force...this is a heartfelt little clip, and John & Paul helped jump start the Mick/Keith songwriting duo. There is a real beauty in those early compositions Mick & Keith did back in '63, '64, etc. as they learned how to write & work together - "Blue Turns to Grey", "Sad Day", "Singer Not the Song", "I'm Free", etc. they were finding themselves and one another back in those early days. The Beatles & Rolling Stones were both the best at what they did, and I love them both equally.
100% spot on! I'm a big fan of early Stones and Beatles. I've never seen this before, but your analysis is really well written and reflects my thoughts exactly. There was such an innocence in those early years that quickly faded.
@@angus7278 Man, he have almost 90 years, he and Mick smoked all the life and sing in a high way all over theirs lifes, Just enjoy good music and stop to be so stupid
... if not for the Beatles, the Stones would have played out London and that would have been "end of story". Groups and musical performers, for decades, owe the Beatles a bit of gratitude for having huge coat tails.
I have a bootleg from the Voodoo Lounge sessions. On it, Keith does a rendition of Please Please Me a lot more serious than these. Paul even had it in his concert set list for a while as per Keith's request. They didn't hate each other. They even coordinated their album releases in the 60's.
Funny how so many comments are from people who watch a Rolling Stones video...but they don't like the Rolling Stones! I know most original Beatles fans are pretty darned old by now; maybe they're just a little confused...
In the week of April 04, 1964, the top five songs in the American Top 40 were: (5) Please Please Me - Beatles; (4) I Want To Hold Your Hand - Beatles; (3) She Loves You - Beatles; (2) Twist and Shout - Beatles; (1) Can't Buy Me Love - Beatles. They dominated the charts as no other band or act ever had. The Stones happened a few months later, with long hair, English accents, and minor hits.
Until the Beatles discovered them, loved their work, became friends and gave them a gentle nudge to find their own voice. When Stones started to write their own songs, thats when they became massive. Their versions of classics before that time sound weird because to me it's not the Stones, not their voice, not their sound.
@@marty6779 Im more into the Beatles but I definitely agree and was gonna mention Get out of my cloud, Sympathy for the Devil , Jumping Jack Flash and countless other masterpieces!
Yes but it was a Lennon Mac cartney song. Because it was first Paul who had that song for Ringo, John and Paul met the stones who asked them to write a song , so in the studio both Paul and John finished I wanna be your man and gave the song to the Stones. And the next day Ringo recorded the song for the next album. But the stones single was released before the Beatles album
They were poking fun at the Beatles, but they somehow had the guitar chords and vocal harmonies down pat. That's not one offable, I don't care how talented you are.
The Stones are the greatest band ever there was a rivalry between them but it brought the best out of everyone but once the Beatles broke up the Stones took over
Mick got waaay to real in the end get up wash go to work come home be screwed up about something. All life is. And then the dichotomy being sad because she just left you or being very happy cause you just met someone. Literally all life is
The Stones knew 4 chords..They eventually learned a few minor chords..Give me a break..They couldn't shine the Beatles shoes..I do like their music though
@@oscarmeza1010 lo hacen sin ganas ,los que si tocan seriamente con ganas de sonar bien por fanatismo es dave grohl, ozzy ,oasis pero por el tipo de voz no da y eric clapton while my guitar .. le pone ganas por ser el original en la guitarra
Fact of the matter when the Beatles came out with Sgt Pepper, it seems the Stones crapped in their pants and that album and every one after they tried to imitate the Beatles, John Lennon even says this in one of his interviews
The Beatles were great musicians, but they were awesome songwriters. The Stones werent exactly terrible. Charlie Watts and Bill Wymann were a good pairing, Keith was the riffmaster and Brian could play many instruments. Mick is one of the greatest frontmen of all time. The Stones music has aged well. These 2 are the greatest bands of all time.
Any guitarist who has any musically trained ear at all would be able to play this. Of course, Richards knows the chords, it is a simple song. Playing this by ear would not be a challenge for many people that have any kind of an ear at all.
Richards isn't a great guitarist. He plays simple blues songs. Especially at this time he wasn't some guitar genius. Ya, pretty simple chords to this song... but still, he could come up with the chords... but they pretend like they don't know the lyrics? Point is... they obviously know the song and the melody. But pretend not to know even the opening lyric? Pretentious liars. At least give some props to a band that helped you out in the early days, instead of taking a piss on their music. And it's a good song they were making fun of. Go dance around on stage more jagger to get attention cause your songs weren't enough by themselves.
@@urwholefamilydied Jesus Christ! You are one of the most pathetic people I've ever seen on the internet. I can't believe there are people this pathetic😂 Getting upset over shit that happened over 50 years ago and has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Stones: World-weary down and dirty Mississippi Delta blues-based rock Beatles: Cookie cutter suits, matching haircuts, and naive pop piffle (with mediocre drumming)
This kinda stuff annoys me. I've heard the stones take the piss on the beatles many times... but they forget that the beatles liked them and were friends with them... they remained friends. The beatles wrote one of their early singles to HELP them out cause they liked them. On top of that, there would be no stones without the beatles. Like anyone gave a fuck about British bands doing R&B or Blues stuff in '62? Epstein and the Beatles exhausted every label in england, WITH original material and everyone said NO. Stones didn't even have original material. Like the Stones could have walked into a record label in 63 with their blues covers and been signed, let alone made it in america? But you never once have heard the stones giving the beatles props for paving the way for other british artists like themselves. Or thanked the beatles for helping them out in the early days. The first 3 stones albums are a joke besides a couple likeable songs here and there and only 2 or 3 originals? I like a lot of their music, but they're pretentious assholes who think they're the best not realizing they owe a lot to what the beatles did for british bands and for them personally.
I'm not british... I live in LA and was raised in Michigan. The other one off the top of my head is Keith did a guitar interview about his main telecaster, and he had a couple snarky remarks about the beatles being jealous of them getting big. Wish I could remember the exact video but can't recall and am not going to hunt it down. The beatles were never the ones to diss on the stones cause they were jealous... that's laughable coming from the biggest band in the world... the beatles were jealous? The story makes a lot more sense that an arrogant rock band (the stones) were always in the shadow of the beatles... ya, which one do you think is going to be jealous. Beatles being jealous of the stones.. give me a break. I doubt they thought about the stones very much at all.
Every band that doesn't smile, wear matching suits or sing happy pop fluff owes their existence to the Stones. Far more bands than the Beatles influenced, when you think about it (and many of the Beatles 1963-5 boyband originals are completely sappy and forgettable).
are you kidding? The beatles wore suits for one year at the suggestion of Epstein unfortunately. They were wearing leather and tight pants when the ramones were babies. The beatles used a sitar, and then the stones used a sitar. The beatles had the heaviest song in the world (helter skelter) for many years... not sure when that one was topped, if ever. Go listen to jumping jack flash again, and bowie and jagger making out to "dancing in the streets".

Not true at all. The Stones club crowds were growing by the hundreds every weekend. They would've been picked up by an agent eventually.
Give me a break, zealot. The Beatles were simply the first Brit band signed. The floodgates were gonna open no matter what.
No one knows for certain, however, the Beatles inspired the Stones to write their own material.
Ilove both bands💕💙💪😊

Yes, Mick, but things were about to change in a big way. I don't think I am the Walrus was moon, June etc.

If you listen to the Beatles live at the BBC album they play several Stones songs.
Great cover band :)
I don't know if you can call that singing. They didn't know most of the words. Sounds like a drunken fun jam.

Too bad they didn't try to sing it in a serious manner when they weren't wasted / drunk ...
I think the very best blues, rhythm and blues songs the stones did were about drug addicted pimps and their women hookers.. ie..little red rooster..
