The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has given his take on the English rock band Led Zeppelin and branded them as “hollow”. Keith Moon gets more of a pass, but not by much.

Over the course of promotion for his new solo album Crosseyed Heart, Richards has managed to poke fun at Black Sabbath, Metallica, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and all of hip hop.
Meanwhile, Richards recently said that The Rolling Stones could start work on a new studio album next year.
The Rolling Stones rocker has revealed he’s never been a fan of the band and while he thinks Jimmy Page is a great guitarist, he didn’t like him performing with the other members of the band. “Blues in the Morning” pays homage to Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry and offers further proof that Mr. Jagger isn’t the Stones’ only master of the kiss-off lyric: “Got a picture of your face / I hold it up to the light / and on a good day baby / it still gives me a fright”. Richards got the message, and over months of what began as casual jamming, he and Jordan came up with 13 new songs and two covers.
Pagey seems like the type to let this ride, but we fully expect a retort from the sharp-tongued Townshend in the coming days. And I love it when you meet people and you realize immediately that fame isn’t the only thing on their mind.
Glastonbury’s standard weekend tickets for 2016 were greedily devoured on October 4th, though last year’s sales record wasn’t quite beaten. I’ve been beautifully stroked this week.

“Suddenly I’m on my hands and knees in front of 60,000 people. But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it (the band), you know”, Richards told Rolling Stone magazine. It’s been a bit mind-blowing, actually.
