“As far as status goes, I can’t really report anything,” Richards said in the podcast.
Richards was also asked about the status of the Rolling Stones album that had gotten underway before Watts died last year, and spoke about Steve Jordan replacing Watts on tour last fall and possibly in the studio this year. Jagger jibed to the audience that McCartney was backstage and would be “joining us in a blues cover.”

(Read Variety‘s full history of the half-century-long “frenemy” relationship between the Stones and Beatles here.)Įven though McCartney apparently cleared the air with Richards in his note, that didn’t stop Mick Jagger from joking about it when they were headlining L.A.’s SoFi Stadium a few nights after the remark made the news last October. We let little things come out in the press and kind of ignore ‘em.” I mean, Jesus Christ, look at the songs he’s written. If he had meant to say it, he wouldn’t have bothered replying. “That could have been the thing, but Paul isn’t that way,” Richard said. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” “rubbish.” Hiatt wondered if this didn’t seem credible because the Stones and Beatles did have a history of minor snipes, with Richards having once called “Sgt. And so when I first read it, I said, ‘Ahhh, there’s been a lot of deleting and editing going on here.’ And the next day I got a message from Paul saying, ‘If you’ve read this shit, it’s all out of context, believe me, boys.’” “He said (to the New Yorker), ‘That’s what I thought when I first heard them.’ Because Paul and I know each other pretty well. In the new podcast, Richards says McCartney blamed it on the New Yorker not understanding that he was talking about first impressions, not current thoughts. There’s a lot of differences, and I love the Stones, but I’m with you. When they are writing stuff, it has to do with the blues.
I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.” It followed similar comments McCartney had made to Howard Stern to 2021, when he remarked, “They are rooted in the blues.
Reflecting on the Stones’ upcoming 60th-anniversary tour, Richards remarked, “Who can wrap their head around 60 fucking years? It all seems impossible, that it’s been that long.The possible tiff came up with McCartney was profiled in a lengthy New Yorker piece and was quoted by the magazine’s famous editor as saying, “I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are. He can take my seat anytime.’ And he talked me into it. … Of course, if we want to carry on recording, we’re gonna need drums, and it’s gonna be Steve Jordan.” He recalled feeling apprehensive about touring without Watts when it was revealed he was too ill to hit the road with his bandmates of six decades: “I was, ‘Oh, I cannot do this without Charlie.’ But Charlie said to me, ‘You can do it with Steve. “We were halfway through making an album when he died. “We do have a lot of stuff of Charlie Watts still in the can,” he explained. In the same interview, Richards confirmed that Charlie Watts had died before completing work on the Stones’ current album project and that the drummer’s replacement Steve Jordan would take up studio duties if recording continued. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Richards noted that he "got a note from Paul about that, saying, ‘I was taken totally out of context.’ He said, ‘That’s what I thought when I first heard them.’" The guitarist added that "Paul and I know each other pretty well, and when I first read it, I said, ‘There’s been a lot of deleting and editing going on here.’ And the next day I got a message from Paul saying, ‘If you’ve read this shit, it’s all out of context, believe me, boys.’” He described McCartney as a “great guy,” adding, “I mean … look at the songs he’s written.”
