Rolling Stones Guitarist Keith Richards Slams David Bowie
He's not a huge fan...

More The Rolling Stones
More David Bowie
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has confessed that he is “not a huge fan” of David Bowie.

Speaking in this month’s Uncut magazine, Richards said that ‘Changes’, which appears on Bowie’s fourth album ‘Hunky Dory’, was the only song by the artist that he could “remember”.

"It's all pose. It's all fucking posing. It's nothing to do with music He knows it too,” Richards said.

“I can't think of anything else he's done that would make my hair stand up."

The Rolling Stones film ‘Shine A Light’ is currently on release at cinemas across the world.

The film, directed by Martin Scorsese, follows the band during their two performances at the Beacon Theatre in New York in 2006.

Keith does not have much hair left to stand up.
Bowie is great, enjoys a superb catalog of work.
Has a great looking wife as well.

Keith really is a fucking ball buster. He picks on Jimmy Page all the time and now Bowie. 

Why can't we all just get along?

Although to be honest, how many of us can't stand people in our peer group?  Keith is into the blues cats and not much of his peer group outside of Clapton and Harrision get his respect.

He seems like your typical curmudgeonly old man. You can see why Mick has trouble getting along with him: Keith is a lot of mouth and no productivity.

I totally agree, when the 70's came, The stones already did the 60's, so they were old hands at it, & all these theatrical artists, who were not so much into the blues (although Jean Genie is I'm a man, with a chorus change) so it's like me today, my generation was the 60's & 70's, I don't like rap, hiphop, & a lot of today's music, but I can see what he means, it's age, but Bowie is a veteran at it now, he's old school now, but he's influenced so many artists in the 80's & 90's, I remember Gary Newman, (cars) in the 80's, was a clone of Bowie's Thin White Duke period.

Keith better watch it before someone big starts retaliating by talking about his playing.

I never "got" Bowie either, to be honest.

At least he's honest.  I get so sick of people claiming to love everyone's work.  He may be off-base, but he's honest, and that's enough for me.

Keith is a blues lover through and through, and the theatrics that crept into popular music in the 70's had no roots in Muddy and John Lee and going down to the crossroads so naturally he will dismiss it.

Yeah, and the rolling stones are still a real band.

Come on, keef can say all he wants, but all these peope he dissing are actual still "real" artists/bands, whether you like them or not

The stones sadyl, have not been for many many years!
And as far as keef being the musical leader of the group... well..

He's critisising others, but stood by while the stones turned from a real band into a circus...

The more I think about this, the crazier it is as a statement.
Keith sings You Got The Silver in a Tony Bennett mode, like
some balladeer pretending to be a guitarist, which is such a joke.
I'm not sorry to say that the recylcling of his riffs is annoying.
You know when "that sound" is about to come in.
Some of his better moments have been when he's
guesting, such as "Too Close Together" from Peter Wolf's Sleepless.
It's great to say it's time to get the boys together, however,
show some creativity.

Bowie is fresh, innovative, creative.
And, he's retired at least four times, and come
back as another person, genre, which is fine in my book.
He does have a knack of playing with great guitarists
who pass away all too young.

And, again, he has a hot wife.
Right, I said it twice.

     Am I on the right board?  I thought this was a Rolling Stones board, and not a David Bowie one.   I don't care for Bowie either, and can see where Keith is coming from.  In terms of actual importance to rock/music history, Bowie isn't fit to hold Keef's jock strap!  Bowie is more a media creation then actual substance, IMO.  Now Keith dissing on Jimmy Page is something I DON'T agree with.   Cry  That said, I LOVE it that he'll express his opinion and that no one can influence it!

Yes, you are on a Stones board, a board in which most members are firmly grounded in reality, which, sadly, Keith no longer appears to be.

Keith is being honest, but honestly i don't give a fuck about what he thinks about Bowie or anyone.
As Otis used to sing "action speaks louder than words", I want a new solo album, with or without the Winos, not another interview.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree.  Personally, I think Keith hit the nail on the head.  Even if it was rude to say (Keith don't care).  I just found it weird that everyone had Bowie's back, and not Keith's.
