It’s not the first time he’s taken a dig at the band, either. “I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.”
“I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are,” said McCartney, 79. In an interview with The New Yorker, the Beatles member called rival British rock band The Rolling Stones a “blues cover band.” Someone get Paul McCartney an umbrella because he’s throwing a lot of shade.

It’s probably easier if you make your own mind up and, below, you’ll find the renditions of the song by both bands.How much do parents hate their kids’ music? We may have the answer Then Brian got his slide out, his steel (guitar) out and dadaw … dadaw … and we said, ‘Yeah, that’s better, dirty it up a bit and bash it out’, and we kind of completely turned the song around and made it much more tough, Stones- and Elmore James-like.” Off the back of Lennon’s comments, Stones bass player Bill Wyman said: “We kind of learned it pretty quickly ’cause there wasn’t that much to learn. And they made a good job of it.”Īs the Stones’ version of track earned them some commercial and mainstream success, a growing sense of animosity began to emerge around its development. In an interview dated in 2016, he said: “We were friends with them, and I just thought ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ would be good for them. McCartney, though, was a little less blunt in discussing the song. That shows how much importance we put on it: We weren’t going to give them anything great, right?” The only two versions of the song were Ringo and the Rolling Stones. Discussing the track, Lennon was dismissive of its credibility and naturally scathing about the song: “It was a throwaway. The Beatles themselves would eventually go on to release it a year later anyway, appearing on the group’s second UK album, With the Beatles, with the vocals provided by drummer Ringo Starr. Later Lennon would refute Jagger’s memory of how the Stones’ came to release the track, detailing in The Beatles Anthology that the band had already recorded the track for themselves but decided they would never release the song as a single and, in turn, offered it up to Jagger and the Stones. It was completely crackers, but it was a hit and sounded great onstage.” I haven’t heard it for ages but it must be pretty freaky ’cause nobody really produced it. “So they played it and we thought it sounded pretty commercial, which is what we were looking for, so we did it like Elmore James or something. “I mean the way they used to hustle tunes was great: ‘Hey Mick, we’ve got this great song’,” continued the singer. They said they had this tune, they were really hustlers then,” said the Stones frontman. Recalling the incident, Stones’ frontman Jagger once said: “We knew by then and we were rehearsing and Andrew brought Paul and John down to the rehearsal.
Stones historian, Bill Janowitz, claimed that Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham “had almost literally bumped into Lennon and McCartney as they stepped out of a cab” and ushered them into the studio with Jagger and Richards.Īpparently, after having lunch together and enjoying the idea of speculating on the future, the topic of the Stones’ lack of material for a new single had arisen and, by sheer coincidence, Lennon and McCartney had just finished up completing ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’ earlier that day at De Lane Lea Studio. The image of this scene has always delighted us, Macca working Jagger and the band while Lennon manages to piece together the semblance of a song. McCartney had originally penned the song before Lennon took over and finished the track while Macca was supposedly in the corner of a room talking to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
