Ian Anderson: “Mick Jagger limits himself to singing at the top of his lungs”

The frontman of Jethro Tull Ian Andersonguest at the Podcast Now Spinning Magazine, he criticized, although contextualizing his thought, the vocal skills of the singer of Rolling Stones Mick Jagger.

The 77 -year -old Anderson released these statements by talking about the physical difficulties related to showing himself at his age, especially since as well as singing he must also play the flute. Bringing to comparison with his needs to those of other rock stars of his generation. “It depends on what you do. You can be physically active, but there is a limit to what you can do if you play a flute.”

And that’s where, to bring an example, the 82 -year -old frontman of the Rolling Stones. “If you are Mick Jagger and limited yourself to singing at the top of his lungs, then yes, without offense, but Mick Jagger has not placed the sticker very high in terms of vocal skills from the beginning. It is one who screams, and must not necessarily reach the notes or be very good in the intonation or in the phrasing or in something else. He moves in a very lively way, and this is fantastic for one who has – who knows – Three years more than me. “

Ian Anderson Finally, he concluded his thoughts by comparing Jagger’s execution style with his technical needs as flutist and singer. “But it’s not that easy if you are trying to play a flute … there is a limit to what you can do. And usually if you don’t play the flute, sing.”
