Robert Plant, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles C

Robert Plant reckons he knows how The Beatles and The Rolling Stones can resolve their long-running feud.

Both iconic bands have taken a pop at each other over the years, with the most recent dispute kicking off last month when Paul McCartneyĀ branded the Stones ā€œa blues cover bandā€.

Mick Jagger hit back at his comments during a recent show in Los Angeles. ā€œThereā€™s so many celebrities here tonight. Megan Fox is here, sheā€™s lovely. Leonardo DiCaprio. Lady Gaga. Kirk Douglas. Paul McCartney is here, heā€™s going to help us ā€“ heā€™s going to join us in a blues cover later,” he retorted.

McCartney made similar comments about the Stones last year before Jagger responded by joking that ā€œthereā€™s obviously no competitionā€ between the two bands.

ā€œOne band is unbelievably luckily still playing in stadiums, and then the other band doesnā€™t exist,ā€ he said.

Now, Plant has played down the rift between the two bands.

“I donā€™t think thereā€™s any fighting,ā€ he told Rolling Stone in a new interview. ā€œTheyā€™ve known each other since 1963. They love each other desperately.ā€

As for resolving the feud he said that McCartney ā€œshould just play bass with the Stonesā€.

Meanwhile, Plant has admitted that the recent legal challenge over Led Zeppelin‘s classic track ‘Stairway To Heaven’ was “unpleasant” and “unfortunate”.

Michael Skidmore, a trustee for the estate of Spirit guitarist Randy California, first filed a lawsuit against the British band in 2014 over the track.

He claimed that their 1971 hit had violated the copyright of Spiritā€™s 1968 song ā€˜Taurusā€™.







Led Zeppelin eventually won three legal attempts over the case with the most recent one (in October 2020) resulting in the US Supreme Court declining to hear the case.
