I loved the choices and enjoyed the video. I will add that Steve Marriott was a showman. Did you ever wonder where those rock star moves came from in general, and Robert Plant's in particular? Steve Marriott invented many of them. Robert Plant was an acolyte and occasional roadie/helper for the Small Faces. Far from resenting the fact that Robert Plant borrowed much of his act, his comment to Plant was "Go on, son!" Fun fact: Steve Marriott was one of two famous and rather small singers who got their start as the Artful Dodger in the musical "Oliver!" (It's Marriott who sang the part in the original cast album.) The other was Davey Jones. Finally, I'm going to have to listen to Keith's first two choices more. I have been thinking for a long time that whoever invented those two early rock and roll sounds--rockabilly and, what, R & B rock and roll, Little RIchard style--were geniuses and given far too little credit. I'm not sure there was ever music that effing moves, or makes you want to move, like those two kinds.

[@jessejordache1869]

Ah! I knew Keith was into that album, but I didn't know the story. But which Mick? Actually, don't answer that -- 1978, so it's unlikely to be Taylor. I didn't "get" AC/DC until "Girls Got Rhythm" came on some college station when I was driving home one night, and a lightbulb went off: "this isn't hard rock or heavy metal at all. This is dance music!" I think that's how they're able to permute every combination of power chords for years and have it work every time -- because it makes you want to jump up and down. [edit: I was just listening to Powerage, and I can imagine Keef hearing "Gone Shooting" and going "I could have written this! I wish I had."

[@lu77xiaojun37]

@@jessejordache1869 Never cared for AC/DC when they were HUGE (just call me stupid) but when I read Mick's story about Powerage I said O.K., if Keith loves it I gotta give it a listen.....and he was right. What absolutely kill's me is the sound that they create, 5 seconds in and you say.....That's AC/DC. And the topper is that Angus & Malcom (RIP) are like 5 ft nothing with fingers shorter than most folk's toes. And yet it was their dream to play rock n' roll. Heard an Angus interview where talked about having to create chords using sets of two or three strings instead of all 6 cause his fingers just couldn't reach. But neither he or Angus let that stop them. It's a beautiful life lesson. They could have just given up and said we are cursed with small hands. Instead they figured out their own way to get the sound they wanted. They didn't give up. Cheers to them. And we're all better for it!

The Hillbilly Cat was Elvis, not his band. He was called that by the folks at the Louisiana Hayride in 1955. Scottie Moore and Bill Black (Elvis' band) were The Blue Moon Boys--named so for the flipside of their first record, That's All Right. I think Keith was using it a descriptive phrase, not as a title for the band.

Scotty Moore is credited with inventing the power chord. Singling out Steve Marriott is also cool, because that guy is the epitome of having all the talent in the world and the worst luck. Learning his story gave me insight into why, whenever I was record shopping at the salvation army, there were always like 20 copies of Frampton Comes Alive. Keith Richards' favorite AC/DC album is Powerage, and he's right about that, too. Keith Richards is the coolest person alive, because of all the people currently living, he comes closest to being Keith Richards.

Just a bit of trivia: Did you know that Paul McCartney ended up owning Hillbilly Cats' Bill Black's original Kay upright bass, the one that Bill played on all of Elvis' early hit records, right up until Jailhouse Rock in 1957, when Black became an early player to switch over to the electric Fender Precision Bass guitar, which came out in 1951? I think Paul received it as a gift, maybe from his wife? He talks about it, (and plays it,) in an interview, which can likely be found here on YT!

Some class there. on the downside, Keith criticized Bob Dylan as overblown, to which Bob (reportedly) replied. "I could have written Honky Tonk Women, you could never have written Subterranean Homesick Blues."

What’s most interesting about Richards’s comments is how they leave out the most obvious about the roots of blues and rock and roll: black people. I understand that he got punched by this Chuck Berry fellow. Also, let it be known that both he and Mick Jagger had mean, undeserved, and disparaging things about black people off the cuff, like Eric Clapton. Elvis is supposed to be the greatest, yet he didn’t write any songs. He wasn’t the greatest guitarist. So what makes Elivs more than anything than a man who moves his hips with a keen eye for the girls on the small and young side? Sure, Elvis could sing, but then a lot of people, black people, could sing. Did I mention that the “blacks” could also dance the King of Rock and Roll under the table? When it’s all stripped down, back to Richards, how much more is he than a man who plays guitar? Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Rolling Stones for their swagger and the content of the lyrics of their songs. But, not to mention much about black people at the start revealed insecurity to me for having the misfortune of not being born black and from where I was born, which is in the Mississippi Delta. A s for the Beatles, the early Beatles music was, for me, by far the best in terms of straightforward, well-written, raucous rock and roll. Of course, as Lennon admits, the Beatles ceased to be a band that performed rather than a group searching for something more in composing, content, and creativity, and there went the rocket fuel. For me, this songwriting is where the Beatles came to separate themselves from the rest of the pretenders. And then there was Michael Jackson. Start your engines. Van Halen beat it solo; legendary.

They created the template for using the studio as another integral part of their sound and that ended up with some amazing material.

Marriott was his mate & he was always poncing off Richards so I'd take what he says with a pinch of salt. People like Richards in their little muso bubbles & wasted most of the time know very little about bands in fact. Richards, when asked in the late 70s what bands the Rolling Stones listens to said, "at the moment we mostly listen to the Heavy Metal Kids", likely because Gary Holton knew Ron Wood & he wanted to publicise the band, but this gives an indication of his lack of music knowledge of the period. I mean, I love Holton & the HMK did some good songs & were a great live act, but they were hardly a great band in the scheme of things, they were a pub rock act. Course he's going to slag off The Who & Black Sabbath, he didn't understand them. Musicians, their knowledge & appreciation of music is very narrow compared to fans of music. Musicians are too busy playing to develop a wider interest in music per se. Just as the last person you ask about films is an actor, it's their job not their interest. The Rolling Stones have been doing the same thing for 50 odd years, the music has stood still or got progressively poppier, they're the last people you ask about music as the circles they move in dictate what they're exposed to, if they listen to any music other than their own that is.
