Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has confessed that he is “not a huge fan” of David Bowie.

Speaking in this month’s Uncut magazine, Richards said that ‘Changes’, which appears on Bowie’s fourth album ‘Hunky Dory’, was the only song by the artist that he could “remember”.

"It's all pose. It's all fucking posing. It's nothing to do with music He knows it too,” Richards said.

“I can't think of anything else he's done that would make my hair stand up."

The Rolling Stones film ‘Shine A Light’ is currently on release at cinemas across the world.

The film, directed by Martin Scorsese, follows the band during their two performances at the Beacon Theatre in New York in 2006.

Bowie vs Richards - who's the biggest poser?

  • How lame. What on earth is he insecure about that he feels the need to put down a great musician like Bowie?

  • Keith Richards is all about schnoodling a bottle, and he knows it. He’s a jealous drunken sod, with a bottle as his main mate. The only thing he can remember is, he had a lighter...

  • What the hell would Keith Richards know, he’s not even that great of a guitarist. Jimmy Page could run circles around him and Bowie is looks better then he ever has and especially ever will. He’s a washed up old fart. -A

  • Oh please, Keith Richards is an aged druggie. If he aint a poser whyd he do the POTC #3 movie. If its all about being respectful and the music for him then whyd he get pissed on the set of POTC #3, what a twat. Im sorry to offend fans of Keith but I just wish hed show some respect to fellow artists! Like others said, its amazing he can remember anything! Hes living in the past whereas David still sells millions of records every year!

  • Bowie is still awesome and interesting through all these years, he 's not a pose; he is pure talent, charming and most beautiful man I 've ever seen.
