Having four singers definitely helped separate the Beatles from everybody else.
The Beatles had 3 of the greatest song writers in history in one band.
I love the way he says "And now Ronnie..." despite Ronnie Wood being in The Rolling Stones for 45 years
Best comment
No band has ever been more influential than the Beatles
When I am in love, I listen to the Beatles. When I'm single, I listen to the Stones.
The Stones were great at what they did but the Beatles were multidimensional.
I love that he’s still saying ‘you know’ after all these years
The Rolling Stones very first Hit Single was called "I Wanna Be Your Man", written by Lennon/McCartney.
Its silly to compare these two great bands, I grew up with them both as Im British and first heard them in 1962-63 and people were either Beatles OR Stones Fans but I loved both equally, still do, arent we lucky to have both?
There are The Beatles... And then everyone else can battle for second.
Four geniuses in one band. Incredible legacy. It's fun watching kids "discover" The Beatles. There was such progression in their amazing output; each album spawned growth in other groups. They were catalysts, unequalled. I remember watching them on Ed Sullivan....and now the concert from Moscow is a fave. Thank you John, Paul, George & Ringo!
The Beatles were a miracle: all the other were good or not good bands.
I love the Stones and have always preferred them, but talent-wise, the Beatles were on another level musically. I just prefer the Stones’ edge and grittiness...they’re both great, end of story.
@Kyle TJ
It's not like Charlie and Keith are musical virtuouos. Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman were the only highly adept musicians in the Stones...it's about making the most of their abilities, and their music was always more than the some of their parts.
When I say "on another level", I mean their compositional abilities and ability to find incredible melodies and harmonies.
McCartney was better on every instrument than any individual Stone.
@Kyle TJ I found it! The dumbest thing on the dumb internet!
Fair statement.
Mick Taylor was miles better than all of the Beatles combined. Appreciate the Beatles , but The Stones are my jam.
Love the Stones but The Beatles were just better. Each had their own style of course, but The Beatles were just next level music. They influenced society in general, not just music.
I love how he really answers in detail, most people would only give a diplomatic, cold answer
LOVE hearing Paul in real time. This was truly a treat.
Everyone copied the Beatles in the 60s, not just the Stones.
Maybe except Jimi Hendrix, even when he covered Sgt. Peppers and added the "I feel fine" riff on Hey Joe live versions.
And still to this day!
The Beatles copied the Rolling Stones with 'I wanna be your man' and the Beatles copied chuck berry 'roll over Beethoven'
Bee Gees did it more blatantly than the Stones on tracks like 'Please Read Me' and 'In My Own Time '
Led Zeppelin didnt.
The thing about the Beatles is that they all complemented each other so well.
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag, too many snags..
- Bowie
The Beatles have the two greatest songwriters in rock history, plus George Harrison.
Paul is absolutely right! ❤️🇬🇧
I love the stones but the Beatles will always be the greatest songwriting wise.
Obviously The Beatles are the greatest any of us will ever know. But The Stones are fab too.
There really isn’t any need to call one band “not as good as” or “better than”. They are very different bands, each tremendously successful, and all musicians in both bands were/are masters at their craft. The Beatles had 4 singers/songwriters, and the Stones had/have 2.
The Beatles were more experimental, always pushing the envelope. Each Beatle had their own successful career after their breakup.
The Stones’ members tried flying solo, but didn’t do nearly as well as the Beatles did individually. The Stones depend on each other much more than the Beatles did. Together the Stones are fantastic. Apart... not quite so much. Keith did ok on his own, but he’s much more effective with the Stones. Fortunately they realized this and ironed out their problems in order to function again as the great rock band that they are.
I was lucky enough to have seen the Stones recently, and also Paul and Ringo at their individual shows. I will always love both bands’ music. I admit though I’m playing Stones music a lot more often than the Beatles. The Stones’ sound just appeals to me more.
The Beatles were more of a studio band. They made a couple of great movies.
The Stones put on these wonderful elaborate arena shows that still sell out more than 50 years after their formation. Those of us who grew up with both.... Let’s just be grateful for the greatest music of last century we were lucky enough to grow up and grow old with!
The stones were an amazing band, but the beatles were on a different level, they were just great and for my own personal opinion the Beatles are the greatest band of all time.
Agree
I agree!
The Monkees might agree.
BEATLES are definitely a better band, no doubt about it.
The Stones have my vote.
The Beatles are a great band but
I was dismissive of the Stones until I bought one of their albums out of curiosity, then my life changed
I’ve been a Stones man ever since.. They are incredible.
Not even a issue....The Beatles were miles ahead of the Stones...
Keith said in a interview once....The Beatles kicked in the door..and everybody else followed!
I respect the Beatles, but they never appealed to my taste and they do have some great songs that are timeless. However, I'm more of a Stones dude.
This makes me wonder who sold more albums, I'll put my money on the Beatles.
What drew me to the Stones was how different they were to the Beatles. Songs like Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, Honky Tonk Woman, midnight rambler were hardly copies of Beatles songs. I was a Beatles fan (still am) then it wasn’t until I bought my first Stones album (out of curiosity) after years of exposure to the Beatles that my world changed. The Stones blew my mind, still like the Beatles but it’s the Stones for me every day of the week and twice on Sunday’s,
The Beatles will always be my favorite band. They are an inspiration, and always will be. ❤️
The Beatles are the greatest musical group ever existed/created in the history of mankind. Others are great, but Beatles are the greatest. The best.
I love the stones but the beatles are untouchable.
The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are the only two with six diamond selling albums. Everyone else is after them. Choosing between the two, I think it just comes down to taste. Stones are a close third in my opinion
@@grovermarchand5537 for me Pink Floyd is third
The Stones were the greatest in their genre, like Glen Miller was in the Big Band era. The Beatles are on a different level. They're comparable to Shakespeare or Mozart. The music of the Stones will always be remembered. The music of the Beatles will always be played.
Considering John snd Paul wrote the first Rolling Stones single, I think it's rather fair and obvious to the say the almighty Beatles!!!
The Beatles broke up before they had to make songs like Start Me Up ...
I love them both, for entirely different reasons. Don’t know why I have to choose...
The Beatles are absolutely a better band. Not even a question.
No trashing of the Stones, The Stones were and are great!!!!!!
Why can’t the full interview be up
BadBoiFilms I think he wants people to subscribe to his channel

Stones only rooted in the blues? Hah! Early covers sure from 62-65, but their first single “tell me” was hardly a blues. Then in ‘66-67 experimenting with psychedelia with paint it black and satanic majesties, pop with the beautiful ruby Tuesday and every track on between the buttons. PURE devil rock n roll music with jj flash, sympathy, gimme shelter, honky tonk, brown sugar, knocking, so many more. For god sakes their ballads?? Wild horses, moonlight mile, don’t even have to say anything....and the stones has the amazing mick taylor, his solos were on another level melodically and beautifully. The stones experimented with disco, country, gospel, soul, motown and so much more. While lasting 50+ freakin years and still amazing on tour. Really listen to their discography....The beatles on the other hand were truly amazing, no doubt. Beatles beat them in sales, more influential, the most famous band in history in writing/on record with zep or stones in second. But everyone realize there is no better or worse here, they both bring something amazing to the table and no clear winner. (Just don’t forget about the bible that is exile on main st tho)
The Beatles are fantastic, but I'm equally impressed with Mick & Keith's songwriting skills. Their early stuff is awesome, beautiful poetry and melodies. "Child of The Moon" is one of my favorites, and of course "Angie". This Beatles/Stones argument will go on for eternity!!!
The Beatles wrote the Blueprint for Rock and Roll. No band even comes close to them. And without doubt the greatest arc of any band to ever exist.
I love both bands but the Beatles changed history and culture
Even if you dig the Stones more, the Beatles were this massive powerhouse that changed everything and opened all the doors. As, Keith Richards said: "no Beatles, no Stones". The Beatles will always be the best and the greatest. But the Stones will always be the coolest and the greatest rock "and roll" band.
I love both bands but if you stuck me on a desert island and told me I could only take one of them with me to listen to for the rest of my life, it's Beatles without even thinking about it.
It's all about "personal preference".
It's not about Good or bad,
better or worse.
It's about entertainment & enjoyment.
Music is not a sport.
No question The Beatles were better... they paved the path for the Stones, and always did it better. The Beatles' music has a special magic because all of them were fantastic musicians that made each song special. The 4 of them were a match made in heaven, truly.
As a Musician for 40+ years I can absolutlely say that the Beatles were MUCH better than the Rolling Stones.....Musically.
Artistically, the beatles were the best by far.
Even though I love the Stones too!
Even if the Beatles came out today, they would be great. You have four genius musicians! Most influential and impactful band in history. The Beatles can make you laugh, cry, inspire you move you in ways you aren’t expecting and once you get the “bug”, (or should I say Beatle?)you’re hooked!
Hands down, The Beatles were the more influential band, from songwriting to cultural trend setters, changing the music industry and influencing public opinion. The Beatles incorporated lots of different styles of music and sounds into their songs. The Beatles rarely had a "clinker" song on any of their releases. BUT, they only existed for 8 years. One of the fun and enjoyable things about The Rolling Stones is that they have been touring for over 50 years, selling out huge stadiums, and releasing music in every decade. There are great "70's songs" by the Stones, and great 80's songs, and great 90's songs. The Beatles didn't make it that long - and once the Beatles were individuals, it is arguable that the solo stuff was not as strong as the music that the Stones were putting out. While The Beatles might be the "greatest music group" ever, or at least the "greatest Pop group" ever, it might be simultaneously true that the Rolling Stones are "the greatest Rock-n-Roll band" ever.
Two different bands.
Loved the Stones, but they weren’t in the same class musically, as Lennon said.
Music is not a competition. You enjoy what you like
NO. 1 IS FOR ONLY THE ONE.the Beatles!....THOUGH ...YES I LIKE THE ROCKING STONES!
The Beatles didn't make 'Exile On Main Street' so how the hell can they be better than the Stones?
for me it was always stones bcs they were rooted in blues and music was definitive rock.
I think both bands are great, but, if you ask me, I'm more a Stones fan
Sorry. But the Rolling Stones are #1 in my book. I've loved them since the beginning. And they are still performing!! No one else can claim that.
Cindy ,i asaloutley agree .
Both are talented, but it's the Fab Four for me.
Why always the same question, who´s better? They are different!
Beatles all the way. The stones are great but they stand in the shadow of the Beatles. Peace and love ✌
C Crane good joke 😂
No competition at all; the Stones are a great live band, but the Beatles were streets ahead creatively.
Paul McCartney went to see the stones in hyde park 1969,I spotted him on the hyde park free concert for Brian Jones not long ago
My sister loved the Beatles and I liked the Stones. We would both turn our record players up full blast. And we shared a room. Those were the days.
There isn't a single Beatles song that I would listen to over Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Let It Loose, Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, Moonlight Mile, Sway, Brown Sugar, Loving Cup, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Sister Morphine, Stay Cat Blues, Sympathy For The Devil, Street Fighting Man.
The big argument , I prefer the Stones, musically each has their own amazing talented skills, I hate to say who is better when they are two different bands, they both brought something to the table in the music world that's important,
They were both great.
The writing talent of Lennon McCartney is just to great for any band to compete with.
I saw the stones 2 years ago, loved it.
As a rock n roll band, Rolling Stones w/Mick Taylor era (late 60's and early 70's) produced some of the greatest live shows ever. Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers are masterpieces. Beatles and Stones are just like wine and beer, you can like both, but they are different things.
Loved both the Stones and the Beatles.
I don't know why Paul always goes on about this. After all, Pet Sounds was released almost exactly a year before Sgt Pepper's and you can hear the influence there too.
One band captured magic in a short span, experimented over the years and evolved so quickly.
And one band just had longevity.
The Beatles breaking up so early was their saving grace because it cemented their legacy while they were still in their prime... as they always say “only the good die young.”
The Beatles songs on each album each had their unique DNA. Their progressive musical maturity was unmatched and each album was amazingly different from the last (with the possible exception of Rubber Soul and Revolver which could have been an amazing double album).
Although I find myself listening to the Stones more often these days, The Beatles will always be #1 as far as bands go.
Very different types of bands, you know.
Personally I am a Beatles kid.
But understand how Stones fans like the Stones better.
Both were amazing. Beatles were just to dam special
Most bands in the 60s and 70s were simply standing on the shoulders of the Beatles.
I love the Stones, but I don't see them spanning time like the Beatles. My kids didn't take to the Stones. They love the Beatles. Kids easily vibe with their music.
Howard..another award winning interview! BTW, thanks for finally putting the mike on the other side of that Punim so we xan see it!!!
As a teenager in the 1960’s I loved & needed both the Beatles & the Stones, and all the other great bands that were around at that time like the Animals, Kinks, Small Faces etc.. but the Beatles have always been ‘the kings of ‘em all y’all’!
The Beatles had 4 singers.
To describe the Beatles music is difficult, their solo careers were great but all four together was , well just magic, listening to them made me feel. It pulled me into the song, brought out emotions that no other artist could do.
The Stones were a great band. When they came into their own IMO, is when they stopped trying to copy the Beatles. Around the time of Beggars Banquet & Jumping Jack Flash.
ME TO
*♡love the Rolling Stones music*
I guess it depends on your tastes. I personally enjoy the stones music much more. They are just more rock n roll than the Beatles were. After I listen to a couple of Beatles songs, I’ve had my fill for a few months. Now the stones, I can listen to them for hours.
Beatles music will be loved forever
Beautiful man ❤️👏🎸
After a basic rock-and-roll beginning, very soon The Beatles started using all the tricks of the great composers, all the beautiful modulations, modal interchanges, etc, leaving behind the typical I-IV-V. They are absolute geniuses. How these working class guys without academic background could kickstart the Western Canon of Popular Music almost singlehandedly is astonishing. They inspired not only the Stones, but almost every posterior band.
I always preferred the Stones but the older I get the more I appreciate the genius of the Beatles. I have been binging on their music lately so I would have to agree......The Beatles were better, and undoubtably the greatest band in history.
The beatles have the three of the greatest songwriter ever end of discussion.
Four singers, four creative minds, five with George Martin.
The Beatles never made long solos nor shredding. Instead they always released original composing with any instrument, an everlasting avant garde that was loved all over the world by the kids, the teens, the youngster and their parents. The first drum solo of Ringo was in their nearly last song, The End. Add to this their many meaningful lyrics.
The Beatles were the trend setters, and everyone else followed...
Both great in their own way. For my money the greatest 10 year span of any band was the Rolling Stones from 65-74.
For _Sgt. Pepper's_ cover The Beatles put a sweater over Shirley Temple's figure which said "WELCOME THE ROLLING STONES", and later The Stones put bubbles with the faces of each Beatle on the cover of _Their Satanic Majesties Request..._ so Howard, how could Paul or any of the Boys could be annoyed? C'MON MAN!
Yep, Apples (grin) and Oranges. Both great, and it just comes down to the listener's background and musical tastes as to preference. It's cool that Howard asked the question, because I've always been curious as to Paul's perspective. Macca was also much closer in his relationship with the Stones than JL (don't know about George and Ringo).
The Beatles is the biggest band/music artist ever...
michael jackson was
Elvis is bigger?
Elvis is biggest
You have to give the Stones extra points for staying together, hiring diverse musicians to perform with, and stage show it is not All about songwriting I say the Stones!
Good question. Which one is still recording, doing concerts, etc.?
The Beatles FTW!!! 🎉
