The guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, consider that the album of Los Beatles Sgt. Pepper's "was" a mess of garbage "and that from the mid-1960s on, the John Lennon / Paul McCartney gang was carried away at the end of their careers. The Beatles sounded huge when they were the Beatles. There are not many roots in that music. I think they got carried away. When you are the Beatles in 1960, you let yourself go, and you forget what you wanted to do, "said Richards in an interview with Esquire magazine.
He added: “You start doing 'Sgt. Pepper's' and some people think it's a great album, but I think it's a mess of garbage, a bit like our "The Satanic Majesties." "Oh, if you can do a lot of shit, so can we," he said in reference to the battle between the two English bands for the scepter of rock and roll.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band "was released in June 1967, while Mick Jagger and Richards' replica of the band" Their Satanic Majesties Request "was released in late 1967. In addition, the Stones guitarist claimed that the Beatles did not know stay in the world of rock and roll. For Richards, 71, “the girls finished off those boys. They stopped touring in 1966, they were finished, they were ready to go to India and shit, "he stressed.
Keith Richards is currently promoting his new solo album "Crosseyed Heart", the first in two decades.
