Keith Richards has been an iconic influence on all guitarists and songwriters all over the world. After picking up the guitar at the age of 11, he began shredding it and became a guitar legend. Over the years, he was also known for his wild stage performances alongside his outrageous lifestyle and his drug and alcohol addiction.

Richards was a prime songwriter in the band The Rolling Stones. His musical legacy continues to live on because of his unique songwriting and guitar-playing skills. His songwriting skills cannot really be matched. There are also his iconic riffs and solos which go very well with the song. Some of the Rolling Stones’ most well-known songs were penned by Richards. Songs like “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Sympathy for the Devil,” and “Gimme Shelter” are examples of his skill as a songwriter.

Recently, Richards made his Twitter account into a place where fans could ask him questions, and he would answer a popular fan question. The question was which song he wished he’d written, and he replied ‘Johnny B. Goode’ laughing. There was also footage of Chuck Berry and Julian Lennon performing the track.

Seems like there are songs he wished he’d written. Johnny B. Goode was a classic by Chuck Berry in 1958. It is a classic rock and roll song and has been an influential piece in rock and roll. This song is his favorite and even played the song with the legend in 1986 at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis.

The Rolling Stones formed all the way back in 1962. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards discovered their similarities and formed the band alongside Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, and, Charlie Watts. Keith always admired Chuck Berry and still follows that to this day.

Without Chuck Berry, Keith wouldn’t have gotten the motivation to become a musician. And that way, The Rolling Stones wouldn’t have formed. There wouldn’t have been Keith Richards if there were no Chuck Berry. No wonder, he is ‘the after of rock and roll’.

John Lennon was known for his behavior and even made some enemies on his way to stardom. The Beatles’ legend, John was, in many ways, an arrogant person. Despite all the commotion, John Lennon was one of the most influential and iconic figures of the 20th century.

He was also an activist and spoke about peace whenever he had time. Lennon was a fervent supporter of social justice and peace, and many of his songs dealt with these issues. The songs “Imagine,” “Give Peace a Chance,” and “Instant Karma” are among his best-known compositions. However, there were other things he was hated for. Lennon was never arrogant. He was misinterpreted most of the time, behind all his quick wit, there was a huge heart and a great enthusiasm for life.

Lennon had some underlying thoughts about many artists like him. And sometimes, he commented on stuff that could have been quite harsh. Over the years in his career, his cultural views changed as also his opinion of his peers. Here are some individuals, Lennon hated. Just to be sure, he didn’t hate any of them, Lennon just didn’t like how they represented themselves with their music.

Musicians John Lennon Didn’t Like

Paul McCartney

The first one on the list goes to his partner-in-crime Paul McCartney. Everyone knows Paul and Lennon’s complicated relationship. The relationship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney was complicated and tumultuous from the beginning when they were both members of The Beatles. Then, when the Beatles’ split in 1970, it became more complicated.

This all many became more mainstream after they started to attack one another through their songs. It was all in 1971 when McCartney was being blamed for the disbandment of the Beatles. Paul released his album ‘Ram’ in 1971 and the song ‘Too Many People’ was a direct attack on Lennon.

Lennon didn’t stay quiet and retaliated with the song ‘How Do You Sleep?’ which was really harsh. On top of that, George Harrison was also featured on guitar. With lyrics like “Jump when your momma tell you anything”, the song was quite an attack.

Despite having a complicated and frequently challenging relationship overall, it was evident that John Lennon and Paul McCartney still shared a close bond. Despite their differences, they were able to work together on a variety of projects and were friends right up until the end.

Frank Zappa

To be fair, Lennon was a devotee of Frank Zapp. While talking with Rolling Stone in 1971, he famously said Zappa was, “the only real genius in the rock field. I’d followed Zappa around for months, listening to him and trying to learn something from him.”

Lennon has also related to Frank Zappa. When he saw how critics failed to respect Frank, he compared himself with Zappa and said.

“Zappa’s there screaming ‘Look at me, I’m a genius, for fuck’s sake, what do I have to do to prove to you sons-of-bitches what I can do and who I am and don’t dare fuckin’ criticize my work like that! You don’t know anything about it!’ Fucking bullshit!”

“I know what Zappa is going through! And a half! I’m just coming out of it now, just fucking’ hell. I just have been in school again. I’ve had teachers ticking me off and marking my work. If nobody can recognize what I am then fuck ’em.”

However, he berated Zappa’s avant-garde music, which he considered challenging to understand. During the Rolling Stone interview, he even said, “It’s not music. It’s a lot of notes. It doesn’t hold together.” He also criticized Zappa’s way of life, particularly his use of marijuana.

Bob Dylan

Dylan was a big influence on John Lennon. Matter of fact, Paul and John shared their love of music, and Bob Dylan was one of the reasons for the formation of The Beatles. It’s quite surprising how his views changed over the years.

‘Rubber Soul’ was kind of influenced by Bob Dylan as The Beatles had adopted Bob Dylan’s elements on the album. Lennon really adored Bob Dylan but he criticized Bob Dylan with lyrics such as, “He wants to be a waiter for Christ”. It is also famously known that Lennon didn’t like Bob’s shift to electric music. He even called Dylan’s move a ‘sell out’. It was selfish but he believed that switching to electric music was a betrayal of the counterculture movement’s goals.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

While talking with Rolling Stone’s Jann S. Wenner, Lennon talked about how he doesn’t really listen to the top ten songs on the chart systems. He said, “Only when I’m recording or about to bring something out will I listen [to the Top Ten], Just before I record, I go buy a few albums to see what people are doing. Whether they have improved any, or whether anything happened. And nothing’s really happened.”

At the same time, he had quite a thing to say about Blood, Sweat & Tears and said, “I don’t like the Blood, Sweat & Tears shit. I think all that is bullshit. Rock ‘n’ roll is going like jazz, as far as I can see, and the bullshitters are going off into that excellentness which I never believed in and others going off.”

His distaste for violence extended to his opinions of the rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears. Lennon thought the term suggested the use of blood and force to attain a desired result, which he felt was too aggressive and militaristic.

Joan Baez

When the interview Jann Wenner compared Lennon’s ‘Working Class Hero’ to the songs of Bob Dylan, Lennon snapped. He answered, “I never liked the fruity Judy Collins and [Joan] Baez and all of that stuff. So the only folk music I know is about miners up in Newcastle or Dylan. In that way, I would be influenced, but it doesn’t sound like Dylan to me. Does it sound like Dylan to you?”

Both Lennon and Joan were part of the same musical and social movements. When it came to his colleagues, Lennon was known for being competitive, and it appears that this conflict with Baez was only one example of this.

Being in a band together and then, having a tumultuous relationship can be very draining. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are an example of such a relationship. Nicks joined the band, Fleetwood Mac in 1974 and was followed by Buckingham who joined the band in 1975.

Fleetwood Mac was one of the most successful bands back in the day. It had everything needed in a top band. And, it also had problems. While both Nicks and Lindsey were part of the band, they split and it was a chaotic end for them. They both wrote songs about each other again and again. That’s when Buckingham threw everything he had in his hands in his song, ‘Go Your Own Way’.

Both of them were high school sweethearts. Nicks revealed that she loved him before they were big names in the music industry. She once said, “I loved him before he was a millionaire. We were two kids out of Menlo-Atherton High School. I loved him for all the right reasons. We did have a great relationship at first. I loved taking care of him and the house.”

‘Go Your Own Way’ was written as a message to Steve Nicks. The song described their breakup and the lyrics sang, “Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do“. She even requested to take the line out as she never cheated on him, but Lindsey refused to do so.

Nicks revealed that she really dislikes the lyrics. While talking with Rolling Stone in 2015, she said, “From the very beginning, Lindsey was very controlling and very possessive. And after hearing all of the stories from my mother and how independent she was and how independent she made me, I was never very good with possessive people or with controlling people.”

The lyrics of the song showed Stevie in a different light. It greatly upset Nick as shacking up with different men was not true and even Lindsey knew about it. However, he wrote such lyrics and hurt Stevie. She said, “I very much resented him telling the world that ‘packing up, shacking up’ with different men was all I wanted to do. He knew it wasn’t true. It was just an angry thing that he said.”

“Every time those words would come onstage, I wanted to go over and kill him. He knew it, so he really pushed my buttons through that. It was like, ‘I’ll make you suffer for leaving me.’ And I did.”

There was quite a tension in the studio during the recording of the song. The two couples broke up during the session. They were also dependent on drugs back then. The bitterness of the song was very overpowering and got over Stevie’s head. The founder of the band and the drummer, Mick Fleetwood recalled the tension in the studio. He recalls how Nicks was uneasy with the line. While talking with Q, he explained, “I’m ashamed to say, from capitalizing on my own ineptness. There was some conflict about the ‘crackin’ up, shackin’ up’ line, which Stevie felt was unfair, but Lindsey felt strongly about. It was basically, On your bike, girl!”

It’s quite sad how Buckingham didn’t remove the line. However, it did give rise to their battle of songs. Stevie Nicks also, later on, wrote a song to haunt Lindsey Buckingham. It was ‘Silver Springs’. We can only imagine if it broke and haunt Lindsey or not.

Jeff Beck passed away at the age of on January 10, 2023, and it was shocking news to come out at the very start of 2023. He was very much celebrated as a guitarist and played in bands like the Yardbirds, and later made his own band, Jeff Beck Group. He was known for being innovative and was heavily influenced by the sound of blues, rhythm, and rock.

Many rockstars paid homage to the late guitar legend, and Ritchie Blackmore was one of them. The sudden passing of one of rock’s greatest innovators and most talented guitarists, Jeff Beck, is still being mourned by the rock world. Jeff’s family shared the statement which stated,

“On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.”

Ritchie was one of the first people who paid tribute to the guitarist. He released the following on his Facebook profile on January 12 (Thursday). He wrote,

“First met Jeff Beck around 64-65 and it was a session where we were both playing guitars and Jimmy Page was producing. I couldn’t believe how incredible he was, not only with his technique but his sound too. I became a fan of his ever since. He could reach up into the stars and make magic with his playing. His choice of notes were always absolutely perfect.”

“This whole thing is a shock. We shall always remember Jeff as the best rock and roll player.”

Beck replaced Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds in 1965 and became a major centric force in the band. He was one of the greatest electric guitarists to ever live. His own band, the Jeff Beck Group was also a major career time for him. Beck is also a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, one with the Yardbirds and the other as a solo artist.

Other important names in the rock world have also paid homage to the iconic guitarist. Jimmy Page was one of them.

Twisted Sister was co-founded by Jay Jay French in 1972 and has been a prominent band in the world of heavy metal. Jay Jay has been known for his guitar playing style which is very unique and his energetic stage presence.

Recently, French talked with the Metal Voice and revealed his thought on what he thinks of various musicians like Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.

2023 started in one of the most notorious ways. The world recently lost one of the most prominent artists who defined guitar in the 60s and 70s. It is no other than Jeff Beck. Jay Jay French had things to say about him and even said he is one of the ‘greatest guitarists of all time’. Jeff passed away on January 10, this year and it was a huge loss. If he were alive today, he would have been happy to hear what Jay Jay had to say.

Jay Jay had things to say about Jeff Beck but didn’t back down from saying various other things he believes. In the interview with Metal Voice, he said, “Having witnessed all that stuff and realizing that then Beck goes on and develops this incredible style of guitar playing over the next 50 years, it’s okay. Guess what? Jimi’s dead, and you [Jeff Beck] developed, and Jimi didn’t have the luxury of developing. Eric [Clapton] didn’t change much. Eric stayed the same. Jimmy Page got worse as time went on; he got sloppier and eventually straightened himself out. I guess he’s okay today.”

“And by the way, I’m not knocking these people. These were my heroes. You think of the greatest guitar players though, the ones who, when you hear them, you know who they are. Not just that they’re technically great, but you know who they are. So you can add to this list if you want, but [these are] the guitar players that I know, when I hear [them], I’ll tell you who it is.”

French worked his way out and said how BB King is a different person which is reflected in his guitar playing. Jay Jay said that nobody else plays like BB King. Same with Leslie West, they are a different entity. In the interview, he said, “BB King. No one plays like BB King. Leslie West. No one sounds like Leslie West. Carlos Santana. Nobody sounds like Carlos Santana. Jimi Hendrix. Nobody sounds like Jimi Hendrix. Jeff Beck. Nobody sounds like Jeff Beck.”

He added, when you see Eric Clapton, there are a million guys that play like him. Jay Jay also said that Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Bonamassa are the same, there are too many guitarists who play like them. He also makes sure that he is not trying to say they are not great. But, while they are great, they don’t reflect their personality on the fretboard in their own individual way he says.

For Jay Jay French, Jimi Hendrix, and Jeff Beck were innovative guitar players, in comparison to Eric Clapton, Stevie, and Joe Bonamassa. For him, sounding unique is an important factor. No matter what he said, seeing his insights about such a topic was an interesting thing.

When it comes to the song ‘House of the Rising Sun’, most people are sent down memory lane and they come up with the same result, The Animals had that song. This traditional folk ballad has been around for a long time and revolves around New Orleans and a person’s life.

The 1964 hit, by the Animals, is instantly recognizable due to their chord pattern. It’s not only that, as the folk-inspired song comes from way back in time. However, till now, no one has been able to identify where the song came from. This traditional folk song is a mystery and no one knows if this is English, American, or even French. But, we do know that this song goes back at least a century.

There are many speculations surrounding the song. According to Songfacts, there are two popular theories on the songs. The first one is about a brother in New Orleans, which goes something like this. “The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. “The House Of The Rising Sun” was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means “Rising Sun” in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874 when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors. It was located at 826-830 St. Louis St.”

The second one stated, “It’s about a women’s prison in New Orleans called the Orleans Parish women’s prison, which had an entrance gate adorned with rising sun artwork. This would explain the “ball and chain” lyrics in the song.”

This song became a phenomenon as an African-American folk song. The song followed a very traditional English ballad arrangement. Texas Alexander was the first to record it in the 1920s, and many other performers followed, including Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and Nina Simone, whose version the Animals first heard.

The Animals vocalist Eric Burdon was the one to hear the song in a nightclub in Newcastle, England. It was during the band’s tour with Chuck Berry. They believed they would like to sing that song on the tour and it was a great decision. In one take, The Animals recorded the song in May 1964. The subject of the song was altered from being a woman living in squalor to be the son of a gambler and a drinker. Back then, there was heavy censorship and this was needed to make the song more friendly.

About the song, Eric Burdon said, “‘House of the Rising Sun’ is a song that I was just fated to. It was made for me and I was made for it. It was a great song for the Chuck Berry tour because it was a way of reaching the audience without copying Chuck Berry. It was a great trick and it worked. It actually wasn’t only a great trick, it was a great recording.”

The Animals’ version was huge in both the UK and the US. It peaked at number one on the US pop singles chart two months after its release. It also became their signature song. It was also the first British Invasion number one which was not related to the Beatles.

Clarence Ashley also made an earlier recording of the son in 1933. His version of the son is in the bluegrass style. When asked about the song, he answered he learned the song from his grandfather, which makes the song even older than the 1900s. Even a girl named Georgia Turner was recorded singing the song in rural Kentucky. Ashley and Turner were miles apart, and it’s up to our imagination, how they learned about the song.

Even Dylan included the song on his very first album in 1962. He had used a folk arrangement for the song, later on when the Animals recorded the song, it was different listen for Bob. Eric Burdon said, “Bob Dylan, who was angry at first, turned into a rocker. Dylan went electric in the shadow of The Animals classic ‘House of the Rising Sun.'”

Some notable people sang the song, ‘Rising Sun Blues’. They are

• Woody Guthrie, Josh White, and Lead Belly in the 1940s
• Glenn Yarbrough, Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, and Andy Griffith in the 1950s
• Miriam Makeba, Joan Baez, Nina Simone, Tim Hardin, and Bob Dylan in the 1960s

In the end, no one really knows where the song came from. Its history has disappeared into thin air. Just like the story looks like the song traveled from one place to another in the 1900s. Back then, Medicine shows were popular and there were traveling bands of musicians and salesmen. In every new town, they would draw attention and the salesmen would sell their items. This way the song traveled from one place to another. No one really knows where this early song came from, but we sure love it. The way this tune plays in our ears is different from anything else.

Pink Floyd has been in the rock game since their formation in 1965. Pink Floyd is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential rock bands in history. They have sold over 250 million records worldwide, and many of their albums are regarded as classics and game-changers. The band consisted of members Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and David Gilmour.

The band achieved success with the albums like ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, Wish You Were Here’, and ‘The Wall’. However, there was tension within the band for many reasons. Even with new and commercially successful albums, they were still having problems. Roger Waters and David Gilmour had a bitter place for each other back in the day.

The tension was great during the production of the album ‘The Final Cut’. It was the twelfth album by the band. Rogers was interested in the production of the album which dealt with the themes of war and peace. Rogers was the solo lyricist on the album. David thought there were some songs that were not good enough to be on the album but they were kept in the album because of Rogers. ‘The Final Cut’ became the last album featuring Roger Waters.

David has talked about this album a lot and has shown his dissatisfaction. The whole production process was quite a hassle for the band. There was tension between Gilmour and Waters. As they would get into arguments, he left the whole production process to Waters. But, even David had things he wanted to do on the album but his ideas were discarded. He talked about it in 1984.

“Basically, Roger had one idea of how he felt the album should be and a very strong idea of how he wanted it to be. I simply thought he was wrong in the approach to it in several areas, and I told him so. Tried to get some change, and he wasn’t willing to. It got to the point of arguments being so sort of severe because our outlet was so opposed at that time.”

“But he didn’t want me to continue producing because it was not achieving anything. It was just my opinion was so different that it was just being counterproductive. So, I stopped working on the production of the album and left it entirely to him and said, ‘All, you go ahead and finish it.’”

That’s when he also added, that he just played guitar in the album. He said, Waters got the chance to create the album in the exact manner that he desired, and I went and played guitar when it was necessary. Gilmour also commented that he doesn’t like it very much. “I still think that the way I wanted to do would have been a much better way of doing it.”

As said before, Gilmour thought that the album had songs that shouldn’t have been included in the album. It was because it wasn’t good enough to be in the album. The production was unsuccessful because more band members left than normal, instead of the customary compromise. He claimed that while Gilmour believed he couldn’t, Waters believed he could produce an album without him.

About it, he said,

“I think a lot of the music is not up to the standard. There are three good songs on it, and I think the rest are rather weak. I don’t have anything, particularly against the concept, I find its tone a little too complaining about myself personally. There’s that, and there’s the lack of good material on it.”

Gilmour thought that there were half of three good tracks there. They also didn’t have their usual production situation. Which, in his opinion, still worked. But it stands to reason that someone would believe it to be the proper course of action whenever compromising circumstances like that occur frequently, he said.

David concluded with, “Overall, that compromise tends to make something work. Roger obviously thinks he can produce it all by himself without my production help, and I think he can’t. He writes most of the stuff, he writes the concept of what’s going on. Therefore, he thinks he has more of a right to say about how it should be produced. I tend to agree that he probably should have more to do with it but not all to do it.”
