Keith Richards doesn’t have much use for modern rock — or metal or hip-hop, for that matter.
Asked to comment on the current state of rock ‘n’ roll, the Rolling Stones guitarist told the New York Daily News that “It sounds like a dull thud to me. For most bands, getting the syncopation is beyond them. It’s endless thudding away, with no bounce, no lift, no syncopation.” As for metal? “Millions are in love with Metallica and Black Sabbath,” he scoffed. “I just thought they were great jokes.”
