The 2014 Grammy Awards Best Rock Song category has us flashing back to 1964! Paul McCartney will go head-to-head with Mick Jagger & Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones for the Grammy for Best Rock Song.

McCartney’s “Cut Me Some Slack,” co-written and co-performed with Nirvana members Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, is up against Jagger’s and Richards’ “Doom and Gloom,” performed by the Rolling Stones (the Grammy goes to the songwriters).

The other songs in the category are “Ain’t Messin ‘Round” by Gary Clark Jr., “God Is Dead?” by Black Sabbath, and “Panic Station” by Muse, but we’re interested in seeing that Beatles Vs. Stones rivalry revived!


The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were often pitted against each other in the early 1960s, when the Beatles were known for their clean-cut image and the Rolling Stones were rock’s biggest bad boys. The two bands went head-to-head in the charts and for awards, but it was mostly a good-natured rivalry. Behind the scenes, the bands were friendly, and McCartney and Richards still hang out to this day – and have talked about making a record together.

“We were really pleased to see each other. We fell straight in, talking about the past, talking about songwriting,” Richards wrote of McCartney in his memoir Life.

“We talked about such strangely simple things as the difference between the Beatles and Stones, and that the Beatles were a vocal band because they could all sing the lead vocal, and we were more of a musicians’ band–we had only one front man.”

However friendly McCartney and Richards may be, however, only one of them can go home with the Grammy!
