" Jagger a 'power freak', fellow Stone Richards says " Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is a "power freak" who is also a "bit vain", bandmate Keith Richards said in an interview set to be published Thursday. Speaking to Uncut magazine in an interview to promote a Martin Scorsese documentary about the band, "Shine A Light", the guitarist also said he would have told his younger self to "lay off" drugs. "Mick's a maniac. He can't get up in the morning without knowing immediately who he's going to call," the 64-year-old Richards said. "Meanwhile, I just go 'Thank God I'm awake' and wait for three or four hours before I do anything. He is a power freak and there's nothing we can do about it. I don't want to do anything about it. Let him bugger about. It doesn't make any difference to what we do." Addressing Jagger's on-stage presence, Richards told the magazine, "Excuse me while I laugh. He's a bit vain, let's put it like that," before adding: "We want a vain bloke up there, don't we? Meanwhile, the band can go to work. Vanity will not carry a band. But a band can carry vanity." Richards was also asked what message he would want to send to his younger self, to which he responded: "I'd have said 'Lay off the dope.' That's my advice now to all younger members who are into this sort of thing -- oh, give it up, it ain't really worth it. "I know the fascination, but it ain't worth it, pal." In the interview, he also belittled Led Zeppelin's December one-off reunion gig, telling Uncut: "They had one? Well, well done Jimmy (Page) and Robert (Plant). F**k off. Stairway To Heaven don't make it for me, baby." www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080227231452.klocy1sq&show_article=1 |

Keith Richards comes across like more of an asshole than Jagger.
And about the Stairway comment, eat a dick, you shrunken head.

Richards is King!
He and Jagger hasn't had the best relationship going back to the 80's(?), so none of this is really all that surprising.
Can't really argue about his Zeppelin comment, either. Homeboy knows what he's talking about. Always.
Together they're marvelous, but Keith is a one of a kind guitarist, so I bow to him.

Sorry if I'm the only guy who doesn't really get him, I'm glad for his fans, but what makes Keith Richards also makes me want to light his papery skin aflame. He says the Stairway comment like they haven't been playing Satisfaction for like 90 years. |

I never got into the Stones. I like their songs and all. I bouhgt "Beggars Banquet" a few years ago and was like "Meh". I made a copy of the songs I liked and sold it off again.
Does that make me a bad person?

I'm not a fan of "Stairway to Heaven" ("Kashmir" owns its balls in a slinky).
But what Richards said was still prickish.
Then again, Jagger vain?
What you all gonna tell me next, that alot of wrestlers abuse pain-killers and steroids?

Keith has been dissing Mick for nearly three decades now, this is really nothing new. Mick doesen't mind it all too much, I've always felt that buisiness wise Mick owns the Stones, whilst musically Keith owns the Stones and those are two halves of the reason why the Stones are the biggest band around today.
I'm just suprised he didn't lay into Ronnie in that interview, hes pulled a gun on him.

I'm not really that into the Rolling Stones, but Richards is a great interview.

How surprising!  |
