Oh does he? Tell where in Keith's book "Life" did he say ANYTHING derogatory about Elton John. In fact he was very complimentary about Elton. So sick of BS on the net, it's really starting to become out of control, although many would say it started long ago.

[@armybrat75]

Actually, June 20, 1975, Elton John really pissed off the Stones, and in particular, Keith, by outstaying his welcome by a whopping 10 songs. He was only supposed to play for one song, Honky Tonk Woman. Elton was so coked out he didn't take the cue to get off the stage. At the time, Billy Preston was playing keyboards for the Stones. Jagger introduced him as "Reginald Dwight from Watford," hoping he'd get the message. They were not happy. It was my first concert. Fort Collins, Colorado.

[@lisalu910]

Keith Richards, speaking about Elton John, called him "an old bitch… his writing is limited to songs about dead blondes." Sounds pretty derogatory to me.

[@curmudgeon1933]

I imagine Keith is well used to shitty journalists twisting his words to get a story published. The whole Beatles/Stones feud was a publicity stunt to sell records and newspapers. The same with the Oasis/Blur situation. Media and the music industry can be toxic places, and with the advent of the internet and social media, it has become completely untethered to reality.

[@rosszografov614]

If ever Elton John needs to come down to Earth and stop pretending to be a rock legend, the thing he needs most of all, is Keith's opinions of his fake persona... Available as a matter of fact, all over the net. Keith never took to such false characters, as Elton John, and his blonde admiration for Royalty. Grow up, and face the truth that Keith provided to the whole world, about fakes like Elton John.

Personally I love the Stones, especially the era from Satisfaction till Sticky Fingers. Keith's book is a damn good read. He owes his guitar style ( tuning and no low E string) to his music and drugging buddy, GRAM PARSONS. That he is one of the most opinionated musicians of the old school is obvious. Making controversial statements are very useful for keeping him and his Stone buddies on the global media's radar. Some of his beefs have some validity and some are hackney BOLLOCKS. He hardly rates as a great guitarist these days, but his contribution as a co-writer with Jagger has produced a plethora of classic rock songs. Some of his observations are downright embarrassing. Example, at the age of 18, Prince recorded his first album entirely alone. What could Keith have done ? I wonder if he was even capable of trying his own shoelaces and playing more than 10 chords. I think that it's time to stop the deification of artists who were a product of another age, and the idolisation of the sex and drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle and admit that Keith wouldn't be taking cheap shots at other worthwhile artists, 'cause he would've been 6 feet in the ground. But being a very rich rock star, he was able to pull himself from the brink and survive, unlike many of his contemporaries who kicked the bucket early on.

Frankly, I believe he will long be remembered warmly when he's gone. He has great instincts and the balls to act on them. He, not Mick, has always been the passionate, take-no-prisoners force behind the band's music and longevity. He's the doorkeeper of their melodic range and sound (notably refusing to carry on with their 'Majesty' phase), is passionate about guitar experimentation and open tuning, and staunchly guards against glitz, overproduction, and drum solos. Without him, the band's iconically confident defiance and sneer would have greatly diminished in the post Mick Taylor era. Keith loved Taylor's flawless and meloid playing, which the band had before. As I understand it, Keith made a sincere but unsuccessful effort to prevent Taylor from leaving the band after he grew tired of Mick's antics and condescention. And, let's face it. Ronnie Wood is no Mich Taylor. And, last but not least, he has the constitution of a fucking wild boar and the endurance of a Spartan soldier. Yeah, he almost went down due to heroin, which took a huge tool on him, his family, closest relationships, and the band. To everyone's amazement, he kicked and as remianed clean for 20+ years. He's a happily married global celebrity who knows how to handle fame as well as anyone, and the Stones are still recording and performing 60 years on.
