The 77-year-old praised frontman Sir Mick Jagger, but was less. “ So that business started in 1969 and the Beatles never experienced that,” Jagger continued. It’s handbags at dawn in the world of rock ‘n’ roll, as The Who’s Roger Daltrey has branded The Rolling Stones a ‘mediocre pub band’. They broke up before that business started, the touring business for real.” “ The big difference, though, is and sort of slightly seriously, is that The Rolling Stones is a big concert band in other decades and other areas when The Beatles never even did an arena tour, Madison Square Garden with a decent sound system.
There’s obviously no competition,” he responded.
Soon after McCartney’s Stern appearance, Mick Jagger was asked for a response during an interview with the BBC. There’s a lot of differences, and I love the Stones, but I’m with you. “ When they are writing stuff, it has to do with the blues. “ They are rooted in the blues,” McCartney said of the Stones. McCartney made similar comments in an interview with Howard Stern last year. “ I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.” “ I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are,” he said. In an interview with The New Yorker, McCartney compared The Stones unfavourably to The Beatles. The 77-year-old praised frontman Sir Mick Jagger. “ But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you’d think, ‘Well, that’s a mediocre pub band!’,” he sniped.ĭaltrey is the second of The Rolling Stones contemporaries to mock the rockers in recent weeks, following disparaging comments from Paul McCartney.

“But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you’d think, ‘Well, that’s a mediocre pub band!’” Daltrey added, “No disrespect.”ĭaltrey did credit the Stones with writing “some great songs, but they are in that blues format.” As for measuring up the Beatles and the Stones, Daltrey said it’s like comparing apples and cheese. “You can not take away the fact that Mick Jagger is still the number one rock ‘n’ roll showman up front,” Daltrey said. In a new interview with the Coda Collection (via NME), Daltrey echoed that assessment when asked whether he heard McCartney’s Stones remarks. I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.” In October, Paul McCartney first took a dig at the Stones when, after being asked to compare the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, he said, “They’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are.
