treeduck Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Keith RIchards: No, I understand—the Beatles sounded great when they were the Beatles. But there's not a lot of roots in that music. I think they got carried away. Why not? If you're the Beatles in the '60s, you just get carried away—you forget what it is you wanted to do. You're starting to do Sgt. Pepper. Some people think it's a genius album, but I think it's a mishmash of rubbish, kind of like Satanic Majesties—"Oh, if you can make a load of shit, so can we." http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/interviews/a36899/keith-richards-interview-0915/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Not my favourite Beatles album but 1000 times better than Stones attempt to embrace the psychedelic mood / trend of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are overrated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 LOL!!! Is this a joke? The Steel Wheelchairs did "Satanic" to try and copy the Beatles "Peppers" album. Richards is full of shit and overrated. Watts is the only good player in the band. Ringo sucks. Signed, "LET IT BLEED" I mean "SHE CUMS IN COLORS" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sgt Pepper is absolutely rubbish. And I know people who were there and Beatles fans who think the exact same thing. It has some amazing stuff, but the not so amazing stuff is shockingly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I agree that both the Stones & Beatles are over hyped. Early Beatles especially...that shit sucks. As for the Stones...just a bunch of white boys trying to play the blues. At least Zep did it with some balls & bombast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogged Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's a great album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's the only Beatles album I own (I have heard others, though). But since watching the Rutles movie, I've actually got more into the Beatles I may pick up some more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since watching the Rutles movie, I've actually got more into the Beatles I may pick up some more Without the Sgt Peppers album, the movie with Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees would never have been made. Think about that the next time you criticize the album. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 This isn't anything that hasn't been said before. It's not surprising that Keith Richards doesn't like psychedelic music. He doesn't exactly endorse the Stones attempt at it. John Lennon wasn't very impressed with Sgt. Peppers, either. Personally, I find it a wonderful album that's not in my top five Beatles albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'm going to land squarely in the middle on this one. While I don't find it rubbish, I've always felt it was overrated. I've always preferred Revolver and Rubber Soul. I don't really like the concept either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul McCartney likes to push a concept because it's mostly his material on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Oh for f**k's sake. Keith's dad's ashes are messing with what's left of his senile brain. Satanic was a mess, because the Stones did not have the songwriting nous(Brian was melting down) at the time & they didn't have George Martin. Sgt. Pepper, although it has dated in parts, is glorious. It's prog, it's pop, it's musichall, a wonderful mess of a thing, it comes in colours everywhere, it's like a RAYYYNNNNBOOOOWWWWWWW! I love you Keith, but you're just being a withered old c***. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 ... and it's an album that George Martin decided not to include "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sgt. Pepper's is awesome, I love it way way more than the White Album (which everybody and their mom thinks is the bee's knees). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's not my fav beatles album. but it ain't rubbish. not with stuff like Getting Better, Lucy in the Sky, She's Leaving homre and A Day in the Life on it. Now Pet Sounds the album that often competes with it is rubbish. Not that that's important here.....but it is, lol Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
