McCartney wasn’t the only one Jagger took a slight dig at in his short monologue Thursday night at SoFi. (For the benefit of those less historically inclined, the Stones did in fact start as a blues cover band, although they’d pretty well transcended that with fresh batches of all-original material by the mid-1960s.)

They broke up before that business started, the touring business for real.”

“There’s obviously no competition,” said Jagger, with some mock-pride, before getting earnest in adding: “The big difference, though, is and sort of slightly seriously, is that the Rolling Stones have been a big concert band in other decades and other eras when the Beatles never even did an arena tour, Madison Square Garden with a decent sound system. Jagger volleyed back in an interview with Zane Low of Apple Music. McCartney has said in the past he felt the Stones always copied what The Beatles did. 'I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs,' he told The New Yorker. There’s a lot of differences, but I love the Stones, but I’m with you. McCartney believes The Beatles are better than The Rolling Stones. When they are writing stuff, it has to do with the blues. In 2020, McCartney had told Howard Stern, “Their stuff’s rooted in the blues. The rivalry between the two rock legends has seemed somewhere between whimsical and dead-serious in recent years. Going up the stairs on the way out of the stadium after the concert concluded, one fan tried to lead a chant of “Fuck the Beatles! Fuck the Beatles!” Meeting mostly quizzical titters, the biased fan then began repeating: “Paul McCartney is a fuckin’ wussy!” John walked into a room one day and said, ‘I am leaving The Beatles.’ Is that instigating the split, or not?" McCartney said.At least part of the audience was in on Jagger’s joke - and taking it very seriously. "I am not the person who instigated the split. While the Rolling Stones still continue to tour six decades later, the Beatles split up in 1970.įans for long have blamed Paul McCartney for the band's breakup but recently the veteran blamed fellow band member John Lennon for the split. The Beatles and the Stones were two of the most popular groups in the world in the 1960s. "The big difference, though, is and sort of slightly seriously, is that the Rolling Stones have been a big concert band in other decades and other eras when the Beatles never even did an arena tour, Madison Square Garden with a decent sound system," Jagger said, adding: "They broke up before that business started, the touring business for real." "There's obviously no competition," said Jagger, laughing. Paul McCartney says John Lennon led to the break up of The Beatles Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, the Who, and Roger Waters have released teasers on their rumored mega-festival this October. Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger responded to those comments in an interview with Zane Low for Apple Music. "There's a lot of differences, but I love the Stones, but I'm with you. Whereas we had a little more influences," he said. 'The Rolling Stones' becomes first band to top UK album charts in six different decades

In an April 2020 interview with Howard Stern, he said the Beatles were "better." McCartney has earlier too compared his former band and Rolling Stones. I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs."

In 2020, McCartney took a fresh jab at the Stones in an interview with David Remnick of The New Yorker. Snark has passed back and forth between the groups over the years, and it continues to. McCartney was in conversation with New Yorker's David Remnick and stated, "I'm not sure I should say it, but they're a blues cover band, that's sort of what the Stones are. One prominent example is Paul McCartney 's famous feud with fellow British rock legends, The Rolling Stones. In its latest instalment, Sir Paul McCartney of The Beatles has called the Rolling Stones "a blues cover band." The rivalry between these two legendary musical groups has been well- known.
