Six decades after their first successes, Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger are not done with the rivalry between The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Last week, the ex-Beatles returned, in an interview with the
New Yorker,
on the career of the “Stones” and rekindled the fuse of their enmities. “
I'm not sure I should say that, but it's a blues cover band, that's what the Stones are. I think our field was larger than theirs.
The 79-year-old singer refers to the early days of the London group, which then stuck to covers, before becoming one of the most famous groups on the planet.
In concert Thursday, October 14 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Mick Jagger responded with humor.
“
There are so many celebrities here tonight.
Megan Fox is there;
she is adorable.
Leonardo Di Caprio, Lady Gaga, Kirk Douglas.
Paul McCartney is here, he's going to help us - he's going to join us in a blues cover later.
A small spade far from being the first.
In the 1960s, the press presented the two groups as rivals.
The Beatles were the good boys and the Stones the little thugs of the rock scene.
False and fabricated images, well maintained by their respective managers, while the members of the two formations shared women, parties and drugs.
Endless competition?
Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger have enjoyed decades of friendly relations and mutual respect, but continue to shoot each other through the media, as the two musicians will soon be celebrating their 80s.
In April 2020, "Macca" resumed hostilities, estimating on the airwaves of Sirius XM.
“When they write something, it comes from the blues.
There are a lot of differences, and I love the Stones, but (...) the Beatles were better.
We had more influence.
Mick Jagger was quick to answer him in an interview with Apple Music, recalling that one of the two groups had stopped these activities more than fifty years ago.
“
It's so funny.
He is adorable.
There is obviously no competition.
The real big difference between these two groups is that one of them is incredibly lucky to continue playing in stadiums while the other no longer exists.
