Of course, Paul McCartney and The Who both continue to do just fine on the road, raking in millions of dollars of their own whenever they head out on tour. Their current No Filter tour, which is still ongoing, is already in ninth with $415.6 million and counting.) TheyвЂ™re also the only band in history to ever gross $10 million or more per show on a tour the No Filter tour is currently grossing $10.1 million a night. (Their 2005-2007 A Bigger Bang tour raked in a whopping $558.3 million, making it the fourth highest-grossing tour, while 2004-2005вЂ™s Voodoo Lounge tour comes in at number 20 with $320 million. Why, all of a sudden, are artists like McCartney and Daltrey going out of their way to downplay the StonesвЂ™ legacy? Could jealousy be a factor? The Rolling Stones are responsible for three of the top 20 highest-grossing concert tours of all time.

ThatвЂ™s true, but it doesnвЂ™t make his вЂњmediocre pub bandвЂќ remark any less outrageous. вЂњTheyвЂ™re both really tasty, but the cheese does one thing and the apple does another,вЂќ he said. StonesвЂќ debate, Daltrey likened it to comparing apples and cheese. вЂњBut as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, youвЂ™d think, вЂWell, thatвЂ™s a mediocre pub band!вЂ™ No disrespect.вЂќДaltrey also mentioned that the Rolling Stones wrote вЂњsome great songs, but they are in that blues format.вЂќ (So what?) And when asked to weigh in on the classic вЂњBeatles vs.

вЂњYou can not take away the fact that Mick Jagger is still the number one rock вЂnвЂ™ roll showman up front,вЂќ he said. As Rolling Stone reports, The Who singer Roger Daltrey has likened the Stones to a вЂњmediocre pub band.вЂќДaltrey was asked about McCartneyвЂ™s вЂњblues cover bandвЂќ comment in a recent interview with the Coda Collection, and he agreed with the BeatleвЂ™s assessment. вЂњI think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.вЂќ) Now another classic-rock contemporary of the band is taking a shot. I think if we're not careful it's probably the end of our civilisation.Back in October, Paul McCartney raised some eyebrows by making a dig at the Rolling Stones and dismissing them as a вЂњblues cover band.вЂќ (вЂњIвЂ™m not sure I should say it, but theyвЂ™re a blues cover band, thatвЂ™s sort of what the Stones are,вЂќ the former Beatle told the New Yorker. He said: 'I never thought any good would come of it, and I still don't think anything good's come of it. And I suddenly thought, 'I wonder what it would have been like being in a band like that!''ДЄnd in the wide-ranging chat, the 'My Generation' hitmaker predicted that the internet will be 'probably the end of our civilisation'. He said you could go off and read a book when Page started up on a guitar solo or Bonham stated on a drum solo. Robert Plant - Percy, as we call him - he's a very good friend of mine, and we do joke about it. He explained: вЂњI managed to get the short straw of all the singers in all the bands. HeвЂ™s gonna join us in the blues cover band.вЂќД®lsewhere in the interview, Daltrey admitted he has always envied Led Zepellin frontman and close pal Robert Plant. Jagger, 78, continued the pair's back-and-forth at the 'Paint it Black' rockers' SoFi Stadium gig in Los Angeles recently, where he quipped on stage: вЂњPaul McCartney is here. вЂњI think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.вЂќ

He said: вЂњIвЂ™m not sure I should say it, but theyвЂ™re a blues cover band, thatвЂ™s sort of what the Stones are. The Beatles legend, 79, has made no secret of the fact he believes the 'Let it Be' hitmakers were better than the 'Honky Tonk Women' group, and last month, he insisted they had more range than the blues-orientated band. He then quipped: 'But as a band, if you were outside a pub and you heard that music coming out of a pub some night, you'd think, 'Well, that's a mediocre pub band!'' He's the number one rock 'n' roll performer.' Speaking to the Coda Collection, Daltrey said: 'Mick Jagger, you've got to take your hat off to him. The Who frontman, 77, made the comment after Sir Paul McCartney labelled Sir Mick Jagger's band 'a blues cover band'. Roger Daltrey has branded The Rolling Stones a 'mediocre pub band'.
