FLEETWOOD: STONES BLEW ME AWAY
Veteran rocker MICK FLEETWOOD is a huge fan of JET because they bring him memories of the ROLLING STONES in their early sixties infancy.
The FLEETWOOD MAC legend believes SIR MICK JAGGER and KEITH RICHARDS still don't receive the recognition they deserve as songwriters, but he saw their talent right from the start.
The 62-year old says, "I like Jet. They're from Australia and sound like the early Rolling Stones. And I don't go far without listening to the Stones themselves. BETWEEN THE BUTTONS I like best.
"I just love their early songwriting period which documents the reality for me - which is that Mick and Keith don't get the credit they deserve. They're so cavalier about being Rolling Stones and they've never tried to position themselves as 'we're craftsmen songwriters'.
"But they wrote so many fantastic songs - UNDER MY THUMB, BACKSTREET GIRL, SATISFACTION. I toured with the Stones in the early sixties; me and PETER BARDENS in THE CHEYNES, we were the backing band for THE RONETTES who were on the same package - the Stones, The Ronettes, and then some of the old brigade, MARTY WILDE and THEY SWINGING BLUE JEANS - and the Stones just totally blew me away."

That's a great point. A lot of fans focus on the '68-'72 period and the Stones' continual greatness as a live act.
But even before the Big Four, Mick and Keith were excellent pop songwriters--maybe not as good as Lennon/McCartney, because it wasn't their strength, but the fact that they had that capacity makes them all the more untouchable in my book.
They could give you "Backstreet Girl" as well as "All Down the Line" and "Bitch" and ... "Miss You." Really, what other band can boast that?

When he said "Fleetwood Mac", did he mean
Peter Green
or
Stevie Nicks?
Incidentally, since when did Art become an authority? |

Fleetwood Mac is awful. Mick Fleetwood is an ass clown. Of course, the Stones "blew him away" - hes a talentless hack and the Stones are THE SHIT!
do we really need posts like this? "Hey, the keyboardist from Journey thinks the Stones rocked!"
well, who the hell cares? |

What? I can't believe that even Art Garfunkle would say something that numb. If he did, he was just having a bad hair day. |
