In a 1985 interview with Spin, Richards opened up about his relationship with Jeff Beck, considered by many to be one of the best rock guitarists of all time.
“Guitar players, for me, are the hardest ones to know, all this professional s—t going on," Richards told Spin in 1985.

While Richards didn't elaborate on the nature of his beef with Beck, in an interview with Guitar World in 2023 — the year Beck died at the age of 78 from bacterial meningitis — he explained why Beck never joined the Rolling Stones (as it was once rumored he might).
“But don’t get me wrong, he was a tremendous player," Richards continued. "The odd times we got together, I was always amazed by the stuff that he did with his tremolo bar. He was one of the best, man, and he’s going to be missed.”
Keith Richards slammed David Bowie for 'posing'
“It’s all pose," Richards once said of Bowie, per Far Out magazine. "It’s all f—king posing. It’s nothing to do with music. He knows it, too. I can’t think of anything else he’s done that would make my hair stand up.”
"That’s the trouble with conferring a title on yourself before you’ve proved it," he continued. "His attitude when he opened for us…was insulting to our audience. You don’t try to knock off the headline like that when you’re playing a Stones crowd. He’s a prince who thinks he’s a king already. Good luck to him.”
