kind of pathetic how most the comments are just taking sides. This was a beautiful heartfelt speech. The Stones and the Beatles are both fantastic, don't waste anyone's time arguing who is better.
It's comparing apples to oranges - they're completely different bands from start to finish. It's unfortunate that people make comparisons since they are both from the same era and were personally connected, because musically they are in two different universes.
Wow...Mick is such an eloquent speaker. What a perfect speech. Lots of humor but he shared some actual history of the Beatles as well as personal memory of knowing them. His level of respect for them was evident in his words. Some of these induction speeches are boring, lame or disrespectful. Mick nailed it!! :)
Mick obviously admired them , and it went both ways . I remember Mick & George were the competitive ones back then . I have never heard Mick say any thing bad about anyone , he is always soft and very well spoken ..
Be fair. The Beatles never wrote Gimme Shelter. Beast of Burden. Sympathy For The Devil. Tumblin Dice. It's not one or the other. Both were part of the amazing Rock panopoly that just inspired each other and created a tapestry of music for decades to come.
Musicians back then weren't like musicians today. They were well-educated, intelligent, articulate people who wrote their own music because they were genuinely innovative and creative people who were absolute scholars of classical/romantic music, which was basically what their genre of music was. Bands like the Stones and the Beatles basically got their sounds by combing elements of the blues that they loved, with the classical music styles they learned in school.
Very humid and very real even after all this pain and this is a few years ago I’ve loved him for the beginning you know who is grateful for what they’ve
The Beatles were an undisputably great band,and The Rolling Stones were an undisputably great band. Both changed the history of music. We love both. Stop comparing them all the time!
Hi, Ak Ak: Its human nature to compare. Having said that, Mick graciously admitted that the Beatles opened the doors for them. Your right, there is no comparison between the 4-headed monster and the Stones. In short, no Beatles, no Stones. Have a great day!
@@h96573: Hi Ak. Thanks for your reply. I also prefer the Fab Four by far. While the Stones have a long history and the fact that they are still touring around world today speak volumes about them. Having said that, when one complies all of the songs written and released by both Beatles and Stones, there simply is no comparison. I do appreciate that Mick was honest in saying that the Beatles opened the doors for them. Take care and have a great day!
@@paulstewart8947 dear Paul, indeed, The Beatles' songs are no comparison with the ones the Stones wrote. They both greatly influenced rock music, and must get the most sincere congratulations for the masterpieces they've created. Rock on!
You can see how sincere Mick is here when he speaks about how The Beatles blazed the trail in America for all the British bands that followed them their success later. Also great that Mick mentions that it was Lennon and McCartney that gave the Stones their very first hit with: "I Wanna Be Your Man."
@@franegobin8195 personally I don't consider Freddie a real rock front man, so much of his music and personna reminded me of a Las Vegas show tune act performer , I think he is highly overrated
You can feel Mick Jagger's love and Awe - his electrified amazement and heart shows. So does his depth and intelligence. Humble and heartfelt LOVE for the miracle of The Beatles
The comment section clearly didn't get the british banter Jagger was oozing here. The ribbing and playful mockery were actually a good indicator of how well the beatles and the stones get along (and they hung out a lot back in the days) and were clearly good mates who enjoyed taking the piss out of each other
It's always been my impression that Jagger was more envious of the Beatles than anything else. That said, he did this respectfully and well. If I had a hat 30 years ago, I would have taken it off.
@@alexdelarge703 your kidding,right? Lennon was vastly superior to Mick in songwritting, singing and as a musician. Jagger didn't even write music, just lyrics. How many stone songs did Jagger write the music for?
@ agree. Terrible speech. He gave like two minor compliments. I don't get why all these comments are praising this speech. I also recall an interview here with John where he said the Stones had said some negative things about the beatles, and it hurt him
Paul McCartney and George Harrison both had the same music teacher in school. She said in reference to the two of them before superstardom how they had no real abilities in music. She was wrong.
Stephen Springer lol elvis’ music teacher said the same thing and failed him HAHAAAAA! But that’s cool the Beatles had the same thing happen to them! What a coincidence!
@Boss_Man_T Exactly. I don't think most people understand that. I know several very talented musicians but they can't write a song to save their life. They just play other people's material. Songwriting is a whole other skill and The Beatles had it in spades.
naturally he is. an authentic person, bornm on the most favourable date I can imagine (it´s my birthday as well... 26.07.!!!! in the "Quersumme" this is 33. 33 becomes 6 (which is the favourite number of a former friend of mine who I still love from all of my heart..... Any questions???? I know I am a bit weird, but at least to myself everything has reached the form of a balloon by now and I feel like being able to "rule the world"....
Jagger has been around long enough to not be crass or flippant . .good on him for being a gentleman . .but he still has that glint in his eye . . excellent intro . .
As classy and respectful as the speech was my favorite part was when Mick said" They were a four-headed monster that never went anywhere alone at this point.....and they had on these beautiful, long black leather trench coats-...I could really die for one of those...and I thought even if I have to learn to write songs I'm gonna get this."
fishinsolitude I've seen Paul and Ringo, and yes, they did see me. John was apparently cremated, so I never got a chance to dig him up. Of course, he wouldn't have seen me, even if I had.
By 1988, the boys were adults and had matured a great deal. The general public may not know that Mick is highly educated. He has a degree from the London School of Economics. We aren't a bit surprised that he was a class act with this induction. Way to go Mick....well done! Peace to all. Hugs.
I agree. This is a fine speech. I like the line "They were the four headed monster. They always went everywhere together." And although the Stones out did the Beatles in scruffiness they had more affluent backgrounds than did any of the Fab Four who came from hard scrabble working class Liverpoole families. Ringo and George both dropped out before graduating from high school. None of them spent time in college. And yet they wrote some of the most sophisticated pop music ever to be heard. They had 20 number one hits in eight years. No other act comes close. The Beatles output was astonishing. They recorded 215 songs in that short time period. Sometimes you'll hear people say they're over rated. Sometimes I think so too but then I go back and listen to some of the music they did and their progression from teeny bopper songs like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" which have a nice driving dance beat and good guitar riffs to more complicated pieces found on their later works found on Rubber Soul, Revolver and Abbey Road. They were constantly evolving and getting better. I think they broke up at the right time. The Beatles as a group retired at the top of their game.
Blaster Dan Yes, Ringo came from a poor family and Paul's family was near-poor following his mother's death. John and Paul both lost their mothers while in their teens, and John and Ringo came from broken homes. George was the only one who had a happy home free of tragedy.
I fell very lucky to have had The Beatles AND The Rolling Stones writing the soundtrack of my teenage years and beyond. Unforgettable Music from The Beatles and fantastic live performances from The Rolling Stones.
We should all be as respectful as to this prolonged argument, as the humble respect that Mick Jagger demonstrates here. Mick Jaggar clarifies it all here.
What a wonderful, gracious little speech, overflowing with class and gratitude. Mick's eloquence is well known, and it really shines here. This also reflects the fact that, contrary to widespread belief, the Beatles and Stones were good friends. Yes, they had a rivalry ... but it was a *friendly* rivalry.
Especially when Mick pauses, holds on his hand out and expresses the name of the town of Liverpool. The crowd roars with laughter. This has got to be one of my favorite speeches of another Rock star inducting the greatest group.
beatles and the stones were a major part of my youth and they make feel younger even at 65. thank you lads for the great music and memories, it never gets old.
When I was a teenager, there was a lot of great music ( how lucky I was to be alive during that era) but the Beatles ruled everything. It was all about the Beatles. No argument, they changed the world !
Mick Jagger, That was a gorgeous speech. Heartfelt. And humorous - "four headed monster"! This guy is a phenomenal talent - a true great - yet he was completely humble and beautiful. Just to hear his appreciation makes life worth living.
I really the Beatles and the Stones...the good times...not the idol worship of mistakes of mortals....but I love the energy and the sounds of a generation trying to figure it out like we all do at our best.
Remember back in the 60's, when we were playing cover songs in grubby bars around London, and we met the Beatles and then we all became the biggest, most popular music stars ever and we changed the face of pop music? Good times, man.
Liam Gallagher was right when he said you can’t have one without the other, they’re like a left and right or black or white. Stop comparing and just enjoy them
That was an extraordinary speech. The tone of genuine, heartfelt respect and awe (from Mick Jagger, no less!) makes me respect him ever more than before, and makes me appreciate even more how great the Beatles truly were. And he is.
all these years after the fact... class act Jagger...my compliments. I had never heard this speech till now...and remember all the talk about the rival growing up in their time.
I remember the talk about rivalry yet don't remember talk about friendship between the groups. The speech was as much insightful as it was gracious. We got insight into the real way it was. Thank you Mick!
Mick is a highly intelligent and engaging speaker.....also a great leader ; one of the reasons the Stones are still at the top of their game in 2018. He is a bit of an icon in the music business and can teach a lot about how to be successful and survive in business and life in general.....
Mick Jagger and Brian Jones helped with backing vocals and sound effects for the song Yellow Submarine. Brian Jones was the one clinking glasses together in the second verse when Ringo says "and our friends are all aboard". They were also among the people who joined in the song's final chorus.
The “rivalry“ helped both their careers. It created interest. I loved the Beatles at first until I started being asked “Who do you like? Beatles or Stones?” It was as if you had to choose sides. So I started listening to the Stones because of it. Beatles were the golden boys, Stones were the neighborhood ruffians.
I prefer the Beatles to the Stones; playing different music and I think it preferable to one another is a matter of taste. Mick Jagger spoke with sincerity and is honored for this
Mick Jagger was various generous toward The Beatles in this speech. To credit The Beatles with encouraging Jagger and Richards to write music was also wonderful.
Mick seems truly humbled & gracious inducting the Beatles into the Rock N Roll hall of fame.That huge smile!!!!! Doing great Mick!!! Your a great public speaker! 😇😇😇 he looks great too!
It's comparing apples to oranges to compare the Beatles to the Stones. like comparing the Who to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath to Motorhead all british bands all AWESOME.
why do u have to compare in a competitive way? why not just say: wow, both of them are unimaginably good, and if you try to have a glance behind the curtain: there are influences from the beatles at the stone´s songs. As far as I remember it was the beatles first and they influenced also the stones, if it had been the other way round, I am convinced the beatles would have been influenced by the stones as well, because both bands are kind of geniuses and those people tend to walk through life (sorry denglish) with open minds.... optionally
So it's good if it's POP Rythym and Blues. some seem to compare the other bands against the Beatles, call the Beatles a POP Band The others are called Gritty , Harder, whatever. Hey People ! ALL BRITISH BANDS are POP. whatever genre you pick, R&B, Rock, , the Brita Took our American Rock Heroes Music and presented a homogenized version back, and all you can say is these bands are the best. Let's not include the Root Bands, and musicians that Started these genres and are way more gritty,, no we want to compare the Best Band to the other copy cats and say they are grittier, Harder. ALL BRITISH MUSIC IS POP.
I've been writing music since a kid and have learned everything from the Beatles, Zeppelin, Police, Nirvana, Hendrix, Camilo Sesto, Jaguares, Bach, Stones, the Doors, Floyd, Tupac, Bob Marley, Alan Parsons, Steely Dan, and the list goes on. These guys have influenced everyone and will never be replaced. I've got 12 original songs. Hope you enjoy, Charles Droulet
Love the honest speech of Mick, love The Beatles, love The Rolling Stones, love their struggle and their mutual admiration, but most of all I LOVE ROCK N' ROLL
First heard both bands in the 60's. Loved their music then, love it now. It's not really a contest. They each had their own unique sound. That's what made them great.
Lourdes Rodriguez IKR!!! I swear some Beatles fans can be absolute idiots!!! They literally try to cram they're opinion up your ass and make every other band look like nothing...
No opinion necessary, just listen to the Stones cover Beatles songs right here on TH-cam. the covers are lazy, horrible sounding, and prove to the non fans that wanna cram the Stones are Gritier,, Dirtier argument down the Beatle fans throat, that the Beatles were tighter then any band , and wrote better tunes, used better notes, not G this G that . Beatles are just better.,reaching back 20 years to gritty old Blues and creating the British Pop version and calling it Gritty is absurd.
I have to admit, Jagger surprised me how humble and genuine he was in his speech. It sheds a whole new light on who he is. a take on him that I never saw before. Both the Stones and the Beatles, though different, were great groups who gave me many hours of listening pleasure in my youth.
Mick Jagger had this to say about The Beatles to Jann Wenner in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview in 1995- "The Beatles were so big that it’s hard for people not alive at the time to realize just how big they were. There isn’t a real comparison with anyone now. I suppose Michael Jackson at one point, but it still doesn’t seem quite the same. They were so big that to be competitive with them was impossible." And he was 100% correct, The Beatles were the biggest entertainment/artistic entity on the planet, nobody- Sinatra, Elvis, The Stones, John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Elizabeth Taylor, etc., could come close during their time. They received front page news when they hit a city on tour. World leaders wanted to meet them. Scholars studied their work. All of this fame without the internet, social media, cell phones or computers, digital cameras, cable TV, etc. Add to this fame the fact that they had 100% artistic control, and redefined popular music whenever they came out with an album. Jagger was right in 1995, and it applies now; nobody can compare toThe Fab Four, even in 2022.
I think this was a most heartfelt introduction and induction speech. Very well articulated and heartfelt thanks expressed. Music is subjective, taste is subjective but factual history is objective. Only one band changed the world and they were from Liverpool. Everyone else followed.
Oh yeah it's really great. Hello 👋Hw is the pandemic going over there? I'm delighted to meet you here. Where originally are you watching from? I'm Patrick Corey from NY USA
The Beatles have sold 600 million recordings for a mere decade of work. That's the equivalent of selling 164,000 records every 24 hours 'round the clock for the entire ten years they were together. No musician[s] in history can come anywhere close to that feat. In the history of music there is The Beatles - and then there's everyone else.
+Billy Guthrie Generic, bland Happy Meal pop always sells billions and billions of records; edgy music with guts and urgency always sells less. Thank God for the Stones.
R Matrix The Stones neither look, sound or move like the Beatles, playing together a year before they even heard of the Beatles (Keith's open-G guitar style where again in the Beatles music?); Stones music for adults who have been laid, worked bad jobs aka experienced reality. You enjoy Lennon and the Chipmunks horseshit fairy-tales for lobotomized infants, that's your problem. Maybe a woman will touch you someday; the Sesame Street Beatles will seem pretty silly, trust me :)
steve conn Mountain: Felix Pappalardi, Leslie West, Corky Laing, Steve Knight. My favorite band. Rolling Stones can't touch 'em. The Greatest American Hard Rock Acid Band Of All Time. They were Maxed Out, Balls to the Wall, Pedal to the Metal, Incomparable! "Hard Tempo, Jack!" Cream: left The Stones in the dust, too!
This is to me one of the best, if not the best, inducting speech ever. Stones & Beatles (in that order), the most influencing rock & roll bands in music history. From Britain to the world...
I love the energy, creativity, and enthusiasm of the stones!! The sexuality and unbridled dry humor of Mick Jagger is so beyond crafty, witty and observant that I laugh out loud while listening to his remarks!!!
I couldn't have imagined a better person to induct the Beatles than the awesomeness that is Mr Jagger, a man who is still singing like a young 'un. Long may the Stones and the remaining two Beatles reign. They changed pop music forever, I love them both.xx
"They wrote our first hit." Gratitude. Beautifully said.
Mick seems truly honored to be inducting the beatles into the rock and roll hall of fame.....Nice job mick.
ok
stegsify Mick Jagger is jealous of The Beatles. Always was, always will be.
Revolver you're funny
Revolver there is always that one bitter fanboy. Shut up
stegsify love the stones
This is great. Only a Rolling Stone is worthy enough to induct the Beatles...
👏👏👏👏
Correct.
Kaneyaugustus1 in Mick's own words: "The Beatles wrote the song who gave us, the Stones, our big break."

I guess it was relatively short, but the timing was just awful.

Hi Lynn, how's your collection of Monkees memorabilia going? Did you get Mickey Dolenz's other brown sock? Asking for a friend.

They were spot-on when I saw them at Wembley in the mid-90s.
@@rattusnorvegicus4380 It must have been great. And years later, we got Shine a light as documentary evidence!
I think you can listen to this speech 100 years from now and it will still be fantastic.
GREAT great induction speech...mick did a great job,...funny...sincere....from the heart...charming...best HOF induction speech ever...
We should all be as respectful as to this prolonged argument, as the humble respect that Mick Jagger demonstrates here.
Mick Jaggar clarifies it all here.
What a wonderful, gracious little speech, overflowing with class and gratitude. Mick's eloquence is well known, and it really shines here. This also reflects the fact that, contrary to widespread belief, the Beatles and Stones were good friends. Yes, they had a rivalry ... but it was a *friendly* rivalry.
Mick’s tribute is funny, respectful, irreverent. Love watching his tribute. ❤
Especially when Mick pauses, holds on his hand out and expresses the name of the town of Liverpool. The crowd roars with laughter. This has got to be one of my favorite speeches of another Rock star inducting the greatest group.
How lovely to hear such genuine affection from Mick for the Beatles.
Mick just had his 8th kid...gotta love him... Beatles and the Stones forever.
The Beatles forever😉
The Beatles, and Brian Jones, forever.
strawberry fields forever!
Visionary Dreams holy crap that man is still going 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Bill Wyman will be dating that kid within 2 years.
Stones, Dylan, Beatles.. Thanks for the Music!!
Perhaps one of the best induction speeches ever. A very gracious, eloquent and humor filled presentation.
There will never be another Mick Jagger ❤
beatles and the stones were a major part of my youth and they make feel younger even at 65. thank you lads for the great music and memories, it never gets old.
Truth Indeed AMEN
When I was a teenager, there was a lot of great music ( how lucky I was to be alive during that era) but the Beatles ruled everything. It was all about the Beatles. No argument, they changed the world !
Mick Jagger, That was a gorgeous speech. Heartfelt. And humorous - "four headed monster"! This guy is a phenomenal talent - a true great - yet he was completely humble and beautiful. Just to hear his appreciation makes life worth living.
I really the Beatles and the Stones...the good times...not the idol worship of mistakes of mortals....but I love the energy and the sounds of a generation trying to figure it out like we all do at our best.
Mick, thanks for honoring the Beatles so beautifully. 🌹
Nice to hear the real Mick, he has a twinkle in his eyes , a smile on his face ,,,what a nice guy !
What a perfect speech from the best front man ever to the best pop band ever.
Remember back in the 60's, when we were playing cover songs in grubby bars around London, and we met the Beatles and then we all became the biggest, most popular music stars ever and we changed the face of pop music?
Good times, man.
Heart warming. And rises my respect and apreciation for Mick Jagger.
He is really great!
Your not going to say anything bad about me are you -george harrison
Gaby H You’re
Mick's expression here while giving speech are Oscar worthy...
A very genuine tribute from one of the greatest rockers of all time.
Liam Gallagher was right when he said you can’t have one without the other, they’re like a left and right or black or white. Stop comparing and just enjoy them
Mick is pure class i was a Beatles fan the most but i also had great respect for the Stones Mick was one of the finest front men ever.
That was an extraordinary speech. The tone of genuine, heartfelt respect and awe (from Mick Jagger, no less!) makes me respect him ever more than before, and makes me appreciate even more how great the Beatles truly were. And he is.
Mick is such a class act. What a great video and a fantastic moment is musical history. Much love to both bands.
great introduction mick well done thanks.
all these years after the fact... class act Jagger...my compliments. I had never heard this speech till now...and remember all the talk about the rival growing up in their time.
I remember the talk about rivalry yet don't remember talk about friendship between the groups. The speech was as much insightful as it was gracious. We got insight into the real way it was. Thank you Mick!
Mick Jagger's humor and timing are fantastic and he can shift seamlessly
into a more serious tone.
Mick is a highly intelligent and engaging speaker.....also a great leader ; one of the reasons the Stones are still at the top of their game in 2018. He is a bit of an icon in the music business and can teach a lot about how to be successful and survive in business and life in general.....
Actually they were good friends spent a lot of time together .
+Terry Murphy Yep. "Mick's put out consistently good work for twenty years...." -- John Lennon, 1980.
Over 50 yrs and still going .
did a lot of drugs together
Mick Jagger and Brian Jones helped with backing vocals and sound effects for the song Yellow Submarine. Brian Jones was the one clinking glasses together in the second verse when Ringo says "and our friends are all aboard". They were also among the people who joined in the song's final chorus.
The “rivalry“ helped both their careers. It created interest. I loved the Beatles at first until I started being asked “Who do you like? Beatles or Stones?” It was as if you had to choose sides. So I started listening to the Stones because of it. Beatles were the golden boys, Stones were the neighborhood ruffians.
I prefer the Beatles to the Stones; playing different music and I think it preferable to one another is a matter of taste. Mick Jagger spoke with sincerity and is honored for this
Mick Jagger was various generous toward The Beatles in this speech.
To credit The Beatles with encouraging Jagger and Richards to write music was also wonderful.
Mick seems truly humbled & gracious inducting the Beatles into the Rock N Roll hall of fame.That huge smile!!!!!
Doing great Mick!!! Your a great public speaker! 😇😇😇 he looks great too!
Hi there.. how are you doing? Happy new year with good health and prosperity
It's comparing apples to oranges to compare the Beatles to the Stones.
like comparing the Who to Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath to Motorhead
all british bands all AWESOME.
I get your point but imo, it's not comparing apples to oranges. It's comparing apples to other really good apples.
why do u have to compare in a competitive way? why not just say: wow, both of them are unimaginably good, and if you try to have a glance behind the curtain: there are influences from the beatles at the stone´s songs. As far as I remember it was the beatles first and they influenced also the stones, if it had been the other way round, I am convinced the beatles would have been influenced by the stones as well, because both bands are kind of geniuses and those people tend to walk through life (sorry denglish) with open minds.... optionally
So it's good if it's POP Rythym and Blues. some seem to compare the other bands against the Beatles, call the Beatles a POP Band
The others are called Gritty , Harder, whatever.
Hey People !
ALL BRITISH BANDS are POP.
whatever genre you pick, R&B, Rock, , the Brita Took our American Rock Heroes Music and presented a homogenized version back, and all you can say is these bands are the best.
Let's not include the Root Bands, and musicians that Started these genres and are way more gritty,, no we want to compare the Best Band to the other copy cats and say they are grittier, Harder.
ALL BRITISH MUSIC IS POP.
Back when actual ROCK LEGENDS inducted other LEGENDS, not lame "artists".
You mean like... kid rock?
no rappers
+seattwa Who even is that?
+Andrew Bulger You don't want to know.
Kid Rock was pretty wild in Woodstock '99. You gotta at least give him that
I've been writing music since a kid and have learned everything from the Beatles, Zeppelin, Police, Nirvana, Hendrix, Camilo Sesto, Jaguares, Bach, Stones, the Doors, Floyd, Tupac, Bob Marley, Alan Parsons, Steely Dan, and the list goes on. These guys have influenced everyone and will never be replaced. I've got 12 original songs. Hope you enjoy, Charles Droulet
Love the honest speech of Mick, love The Beatles, love The Rolling Stones, love their struggle and their mutual admiration, but most of all I LOVE ROCK N' ROLL
First heard both bands in the 60's. Loved their music then, love it now. It's not really a contest. They each had their own unique sound. That's what made them great.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Happy new year with good health and prosperity
I love them both! Two of the best bands ever!
Great speech Mick, love your sense of humour, I was a Stones fan at School when i first heard Paint it Black, although i love the Beatles as well.
Love The Beatles. Love Mick and the Stones. Great musicians!
That's a wonderful speech, extremely well delivered, looks impromtu but was very likely carefully considered.
I don't understand why you can't love both bands.
Lourdes Rodriguez IKR!!! I swear some Beatles fans can be absolute idiots!!! They literally try to cram they're opinion up your ass and make every other band look like nothing...
I agree!
You can.
No opinion necessary, just listen to the Stones cover Beatles songs right here on TH-cam. the covers are lazy, horrible sounding, and prove to the non fans that wanna cram the Stones are Gritier,, Dirtier argument down the Beatle fans throat, that the Beatles were tighter then any band , and wrote better tunes, used better notes, not G this G that . Beatles are just better.,reaching back 20 years to gritty old Blues and creating the British Pop version and calling it Gritty is absurd.
Like you said, no opinion necessary. Especially yours you fanboy.
I have to admit, Jagger surprised me how humble and genuine he was in his speech. It sheds a whole new light on who he is. a take on him that I never saw before. Both the Stones and the Beatles, though different, were great groups who gave me many hours of listening pleasure in my youth.
Brilliant! Lovely words of Mick Jagger!
How could you not love this!!! My goodness, lets get back to where we once belonged!!
Mick Jagger had this to say about The Beatles to Jann Wenner in a Rolling Stone Magazine interview in 1995- "The Beatles were so big that it’s hard for people not alive at the time to realize just how big they were. There isn’t a real comparison with anyone now. I suppose Michael Jackson at one point, but it still doesn’t seem quite the same. They were so big that to be competitive with them was impossible."
And he was 100% correct, The Beatles were the biggest entertainment/artistic entity on the planet, nobody- Sinatra, Elvis, The Stones, John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Elizabeth Taylor, etc., could come close during their time. They received front page news when they hit a city on tour. World leaders wanted to meet them. Scholars studied their work. All of this fame without the internet, social media, cell phones or computers, digital cameras, cable TV, etc. Add to this fame the fact that they had 100% artistic control, and redefined popular music whenever they came out with an album. Jagger was right in 1995, and it applies now; nobody can compare toThe Fab Four, even in 2022.
Great speech by Jagger...love his humility & sincerity.
The fact that the two are being compared just is enough to show how good the two are
I think this was a most heartfelt introduction and induction speech. Very well articulated and heartfelt thanks expressed. Music is subjective, taste is subjective but factual history is objective. Only one band changed the world and they were from Liverpool. Everyone else followed.
stones and beatles different music but both had sense of humor
That was a good introduction. Some laughs, but at the end, real respect, and honest acknowledgment of the realtionship.
Really nice, funny, clever speech.
Great introduction for the greatest band of all time. Mick's speech here was more fun and sincere to hear than the stones induction.
So great to see the real affection and friendship between these immortals of Rock!💞
Oh yeah it's really great. Hello 👋Hw is the pandemic going over there? I'm delighted to meet you here. Where originally are you watching from? I'm Patrick Corey from NY USA
I love hearing origin stories, from just before someone made it. I could imagine myself back in those times, feeling the spirit.
The Beatles have sold 600 million recordings for a mere decade of work. That's the equivalent of selling 164,000 records every 24 hours 'round the clock for the entire ten years they were together. No musician[s] in history can come anywhere close to that feat. In the history of music there is The Beatles - and then there's everyone else.
What about the beach boys?
Yeah, and I'm restocking my collection and have more to buy; plus gifting, still: to family and friends.
+Billy Guthrie Generic, bland Happy Meal pop always sells billions and billions of records; edgy music with guts and urgency always sells less. Thank God for the Stones.
R Matrix The Stones neither look, sound or move like the Beatles, playing together a year before they even heard of the Beatles (Keith's open-G guitar style where again in the Beatles music?); Stones music for adults who have been laid, worked bad jobs aka experienced reality.
You enjoy Lennon and the Chipmunks horseshit fairy-tales for lobotomized infants, that's your problem. Maybe a woman will touch you someday; the Sesame Street Beatles will seem pretty silly, trust me :)
steve conn Mountain: Felix Pappalardi, Leslie West, Corky Laing, Steve Knight. My favorite band. Rolling Stones can't touch 'em. The Greatest American Hard Rock Acid Band Of All Time. They were Maxed Out, Balls to the Wall, Pedal to the Metal, Incomparable!
"Hard Tempo, Jack!"
Cream: left The Stones in the dust, too!
Love Mick! He’s great here, humble and funny.
This is to me one of the best, if not the best, inducting speech ever. Stones & Beatles (in that order), the most influencing rock & roll bands in music history. From Britain to the world...
Great speech from gentleman Jagger😊
Great job Mick. Congrats Beatles.
I love the energy, creativity, and enthusiasm of the stones!! The sexuality and unbridled dry humor of Mick Jagger is so beyond crafty, witty and observant that I laugh out loud while listening to his remarks!!!
Who else could do it? The greatest band ever, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by the the greatest Rock Star ever.
I couldn't have imagined a better person to induct the Beatles than the awesomeness that is Mr Jagger, a man who is still singing like a young 'un. Long may the Stones and the remaining two Beatles reign. They changed pop music forever, I love them both.xx
Mick is just a great classy man, best induction ever
