JAKARTA - Mick Jagger again responded to Paul McCartney's comments that The Beatles were the band ahead of the Rolling Stones.
McCartney made the comments in an interview with Howard Stern three years ago, when he agreed with the host's statement that the band was better.
The Stones are rooted in blues music. As they write something, it has something to do with blues music. We have a bigger influence," McCartney said.
"There are many differences, and I like Stones, but I am with you. The Beatles are better."
When asked for his response at that time to Zane Lowe, Jagger said: "It's funny. He's a sweet guy. Obviously there's no competition."
The big difference, and a bit serious, is that The Rolling Stones are a big concert band in the other decade and in another region when The Beatles never even toured the arena, Madison Square Garden with a good sound system," continued the frontman. "They disbanded before the business started, the real tour business."
Now in his new interview with The Times, Jagger has commented on McCartney's words again.
"He said The Beatles were better than the Stones because the Stones were actually just a blues cover band," Jagger said.
Well, The Beatles were also actually just a blues cover band when they first formed. Each band was originally a cover band, because that's how it goes.
Jagger then explained that after McCartney's comments, he often said when the band was on tour, that someone was in the audience when they weren't actually, to create a big moment, so I once said, 'Paul McCartney is here tonight. He will get on stage and play some of our blues cover songs.'
He added: I sent a message to Paul to thank him for his comments because it has given me a lot of comic materials.
