[jbrown1169]

This show just released as Archive #2

[lorenzosalamone]

MAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

[metaltildeath4eva]

HAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHA...I STILL never get sick of seeing this. Fucking Awesome

[obviously6thbeliever]

Seems to me that Keith and Ronnie were playing in unison. I think you can hear Keith's guitar coming back in, after he adjusts the volume

[Lollertron]

he said he actually bailed the bloke out of jail afterwards lol how generous... after batting his face in

[8Ho03EdONl1liL]

Swickit chomp swicket chomp... wooz' kabob raffer ranich.

[TheTeamLiam]

carry on nothing to see here

[MetrazolElectricity]

show must go on

[kralle7611]

yeah im gonna hit this guy with my guitar, then go on playing the killer riff i came up with, no big deal.

[urgepower]

@kralle7611 *that I came up with while I was asleep;)

[Skaternick911]

Keith Richards can kick anyone ass. I love how Mick keeps singing what a trooper :)

[xoxoFreakygurl47]

HAHAHAHAHAH! I find this completely and utter hilarious!!!!

[bookguitarguy]

That is hilarious.... but did anybody notice that the guitar was playing itself while he smacked the guy?? What the hell... was Keith just PRETENDING to play- the guitar equivalent of a lip-synch- or what??? It was almost like he knew the guy was coming... I wonder if it was staged for publicity?? :O)) And what exactly was the guy trying to do-get his autograph, or steal his guitar?? I'd love to know the rest of the story!!

[bookguitarguy]

@bookguitarguy Though looking at it again, it looks like the police/security were already chasing the guy (I guess for being on stage), & Keith figured he'd help out law enforcement, since he's always been so tight w/them. :O) Almost feel sorry for the guy-he was stupid for being on the stage, but running from cops & then attacked by one of his rock heroes on top of it, & goes to jail!! That's a pretty bad day!! Still wanna know who was playing guitar-or if it was just prerecorded... REFUND!!!!!

[csm55555]

@bookguitarguy there is this one guy...Ronnie Wood...he plays guitar a little...check him out.

[bookguitarguy]

@csm55555 OK, fair enough, but where the hell was he?? Why wasn't he on camera... Was he hiding from the police for outstanding warrants, or what??? :O))) Thanks.

[whitbyjet65]

@bookguitarguy There are two guitarists in the Stones. You can hear the other guitar, not Keith's.

[bookguitarguy]

@whitbyjet65 Thanks. I used to know that! OK, OK... Ronnie Wood. :O) I'm so used to seeing major artists holding guitars, in the spotlight, while relatively unknown guitarists in the shadows do the real playing, and I hate that!! Maybe fans 40 rows back think they're playing, but it's just not honest!! I guess it's getting harder for me to trust anyone, with marketing @ssholes playing so many games for the sake of "image". Thanks again!

[HellFury420]

Keith dropped his might axe on that guy's head, LOL!

[experiotick]

his greatest guitarchop ever ;-)

[DirtyDigits666]

That's great.



[garralogia]

Good reaction, Keith!!!

[rob899]

I love how Jagger is singing and watching at the same time.. He's probably like WTF atta boy Keith!

[garralogia]

@rob899 HAHA ME TOO!!!

[rockcoverfull]

this man could be baseball player

[johnjnukemsheridan]

@rockcoverfull that made me lol xD

[TANGAGABO]

:D these balloons make me happy

[icebergbart216]

A dynamic duo for sure!

[samnrob1]

i love the rolling stones but most of all the glimor twins can do anything when there togever. i love it how keef smacks a guy wiv his guitar its so funny

[waallpaper]

@samnrob1

I was talking about Dragonforce dickhead

The Rolling Stones are the greatest band of all time

[samnrob1]

@waallpaper wow my brother said that i'll never let him on my account again -.-

[rasenshuriken198]

what concert was this?

[Juptes]

LIKE A BOSS

[bobafezz]

fender telecaster vs some idiot

[darksorcerermusic]

he cant get no SATISFACTION

[MetallerMet]

IN DA FACE

[J4TD]

fuckin freak keith richards... heroin freak.. skinny cracker

[Banana7345]

LOL it looks like a party or something

[MrAgitator]

Man he saw that assbite from a mile off too. But also you got to think , better safe than sorry. Look what has happened to alot of stars.Perhaps this guy wanted to upstage Mark David Chapman. And Kill Ritchards on stage? Those roadies beat his ass for sure.

[5stringofFernandoSor]

That's fuckin awesome. He bashed that stupid snot in the head with probably a 40 year old, $10K Tele and then slings it right back over his shoulder and continues to play the most iconic lick in rock n roll history.

[TheOriginalZombie1]

@5stringofFernandoSor uhm no.... whole lotta love

[trevor8930]

telecaster at your FACE!

[valkor73]

keith looks like a skeleton

[basvossen]

perfect how the Stones management used the balloons to get the violence out of sight... very diplomatic! They are politicians.

[happystudio1]

im luuuuvin it

[kralle7611]

its so fucking cool when he just straps on his guiatr again and goes on playing that killer riff.... how badass can you get.

[SmokinMo11]

Keith's gotta good left hook! That guy was going after kieth like his intentions were to hurt hm.I just watched a F-Mac video,& it took security 10 seconds (I timed it) to grab a guy that jumped onstage & stood by Stevie nicks.That was enough time to stab her repeatedly.If these Rock stars dont hire proper security,who knows if they'll live to regret not doing so.

[mtut]

@SmokinMo11 Yeah, maybe they should get somebody like the Hell's Angels. Yeah, that's the ticket.... Oh, wait.

[SmokinMo11]

Kieth is RIGHT!! That SOB could be some sicko looking to stab 1 of them.You gotta remember what has happened to george harrison-Lennon.etc..In the 70's,fans could jump on the stage,hug a rock-star & get escorted off the stage.These days,somebody could be trying to kill them.A freak gets too close & someone might end up takeing a blade.Only an idiot would jump onstage these days! It's either Kieth or the idiot.Kieth's too smart for that shit.Looks like security fell asleep.Not good at all!!

[MrMalarky1]

@SmokinMo11 Only an Idiot would spell like you...Dickhead."takeing"...Hah­a.

[aussieboy77]

This was only about a year after John Lennon was murdered by a deranged fan so you can't blame Keith for reacting the way he did.

[hulliscorrupt]

Nice one Keith, shame you didn't brain damage the fucking idiot. About 3 more cells should have done it.

[Ali74]

Keith Richards is a walking talking miracle

[jonahmoffatt]

always new Fender make good guitars. It stayed in tune !

[Xetronlol]

[baotougallagher]

[descontroladoxelrock]

@masteircheef you're the retarded if you think this video isn't fake,can't you see it's going backwards??

[descontroladoxelrock]

Respond to this video... SO FAKE!! KEITH RICHARDS IS A FUCKING PUSSY

[theguitarczar]

THAT! IS what I'M TALKIN' BOUT!

[scootterpootter]

Funny, when he stopped playing, the song didn't sound any different. Was his guitar even plugged in?

[robbantheshit]

@scootterpootter joking right? =) if you cant hear any difference you should stop listening to music

[descontroladoxelrock]

@scootterpootter THEY DO PLAYBACK,DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT??

[santacluase123]

@scootterpootter actually it did sound different,listen carefully when he starts playing again

[scootterpootter]

@santacluase123 I hear it now that I'm home listening on a decent set of speakers. :-) 

[TeleCustom72]

I love how he just straps the guitar back on like its no big deal and gets on with the show, awesome!!!

[fortheloveoftunes]

Keith´s sword = electric-twinger .-)

[Meta1Head91]

Keith is invincible!

[orgullorollingstones]

jajajaj un mestro keith no le cave una!!!! por gil ese no era un fan

[Hunkola]

Golden Rule = DON'T FUCK WITH KEITH, ASSHOLES

[YPR712]

roling stones es mierda puuura mierda!!!

[ShagZthaClown]

code is law!!!

[CarmeLita42]

Keith is class, he bailed the guy out of jail right after the concert!!!

[bilbobagins1951]

thats why its called an axe to chop the fucker down

[tubenoobster]

It incidents like these you realise how important the rhythm guitarist is

[Balto92]

epic

[catzdogs1]

OMG...LOL!!!! How in the world have I not seen this before!!!!! I even saw the Stones perform this version of "Satisfaction" during their Tattoo You tour at the New Oreans Super Dome back in the day. My Brotha Keith don't take mess off nobody!!! I love the way he takes the quitar off, and has a perfect swing that nails the intruder, and then puts the guitar back on and plays like nothing happened. Classic! Keith, my Brotha you are a fierce Lion!!!!

[catzdogs1]

@catzdogs1 I like the way Mick looks at the commotion and just keeps on rockin!!!! LOL

[Keepsu]

@catzdogs1 I was at this show, right up front, and I didn't see Keith square off with that guy because of all the freaking balloons!

[catzdogs1]

@Keepsu Awwhh! But so cool! But you still had a front row seat at history in the making! That's something to cherish. Wish I could have been there. Darn those balloons!

[ElectricIndica420]

nice

[catzdogs1]

@ElectricIndica420 I totally agree.....I like the way he swings that guitar.....

[alphasxsignal]

Way to go Keith, knock down drag off stage moments.

[TheCreatureofmusic]

Hey you never know what type of maniac might get on stage and harm you. Good going Keith.

[TheJoeSaxBand]

that was awesome! what a god

[art2bbart]

Keith bailed that guy out of jail the next day.

[punx4life1234]

why the fuck would he? lol the dude woulda jumped right back off stage, so whats the big deal?

[noeltheshemale]

the tele can withstand all kinds of punishment.

[SweetZuni]

Get him, Keith!! LOL!!

[Thinkingjelle]

HE CAN FIGHT WHILE HE PLAYS GUITAR. and they say that eric clapton is god

[pb999999999]

what the hell this is great lol!!!!!!!

[xXM3taLlicAXx1]

that was sexy as hell(no homo)

[Berenueve]

I know he's a hardcore rocker, but thats 100% Punk!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snatchsour]

Next time his roadie better tune his guitar right!

[5ch3nk]

keith is such a douche.....pretty much the whole band is but damn.

[mickycisme]

Dude! Keith is hardcore! Didn't even blink, just swung that fucking guitar like he was a viking warrior or something. Didn't he do the same thing to Abbie Hoffman once?

It is a little disconcerting that all of the guitar parts of the music don't change a bit when he's not playing his guitar, though.

[bigsexy90210]

that was epic

[petelabeat]

Haha, Mick just keeps on singing, totally unaffected : )

[MrSPAX7]

Jagger can sing and the Stones are the 2nd most important rock band in history

Overrated my ass

[stamphater]

That guy is lucky he took off instead of fighting back. Keef carried a blade with him at all times and after Lennon; I'm sure he wouldn't have been afraid to use it.

[Borna909]

Jagger can't sing to save his fucking life! The Stones remain the most overrated band ever.

[fiftymegatims]

No Hells Angels for security this time! Keith has it covered.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Jagger can't sing to save his fucking life! The Stones remain the most overrated band ever.

[MidianGTX]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN You're the most overrated ever.

[scallly64]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN You must of liked something about the band or you would'nt have watched the video...over-rated?? Really? you obviously don't much about music or it's roots to make that kinda statement.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

@scallly64, I was watching a video of Glenn Danzig get punched and this video was up next. I was curious to see Keith Richards hit someone with a guitar. I know plenty about music. It's stupid to assume that I don't just because I don't like the Stones. Although I love Led Zeppelin, technically, they're pretty overrated. I stand by what I said. Jagger sucks and the Stones are the most overrated group in rock. They really need to pack it in. They're embarrassing themselves.

[scallly64]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN maybe your just using the wrong term then "Overrated" Overrated, would be used if the band just started out & was selling millions of records...and maybe some people did'nt know who they were & were scratching their heads about "who is this band..But we all know 40 something yrs later...They already made their mark amongst millions of people..anyways,it's just matter of opinion..peace!

[oasisthebest03]

I guess the fan will remember this.. LOL

[EvilPrince69]

Best thing that rickety old skankbag ever did.

[professorcookie]

He just gets back into the song! This is why I will always place higher on guitar lists than Clapton or Townshend.

[DzDeadly1]

well at least he cut the volume before he smoked him with it

[dieselmac]

who the hells playing while he's beating the fan?

[umangu]

@dieselmac The other guitarist - Mick Taylor or Ronnie Wood

[NissanR92]

@dieselmac  Ron Wood

[mynameisrhoya]

lol i just love the title of this video

[LegoManBountyHunter]

Hd cool

[TheDustyspears]

I fuckin' LOVE Keith Richards.

I read his book "Life" AWSOME!

[MrJanimation]

So thats why the solid body guitar was invented.

[Xlion901]

Lol, don't mess with Keith Richards, or he'll fuck you up.

[Thorpe741]

Pussy!

[SpiritualFraud]

From now on, Richards is my idol.

[veryboredchild]

Mick didnt stop singing and Keith continued playing.

Proof that they are the pros at rock and roll.

[Claptonisgod777]

Keith Richards: DAMN FAN!

Telecaster: BANG BANG

Keith: Are you alright?

Fan: No Not really. I migh...

Keith Richards: Im talking to my bloody guitar you idiot, get off stage

Mick: thats some useless information, trying to find my imagination. I CANT GET NO, NO NO NO HEY HEY HEY!

[chriswrigley]

god seriously created the PERFECT badass when he made keith...

[vixenmusique]

@chriswrigley - it's why we love him, Keef. What the hell - he saw the guy coming had his guitar off his shoulder ahead of time, then bang, and back strumming - that's a Street Fightin' Man.

[chepe371]

@chriswrigley and mind u he was already like 50 something in this video

[ktrfeb23]

@chepe371

I know he doesn't look it, but he was only about 38.

[headsosikk]

and still in tune.

[rustkeeper]

Mick didn't pause for a second....now thats a lead singer

[robin14669]

@rustkeeper Mick knew that Keith was looking after him ;-)

[TMalltheway]

LOL that guys like HOLY SHIT I JUST GOT MY ASS WHOOPED MY KEITH RICHARDS AND HIS GUITAR

[phuckit007]

i wish someone would have killed keith instead of john lennon

[miasmicmatt]

@PigeonHunta Now the figures are probably much higher for broads ;)

JUUUUUUUUST KIDDING!... This is a crazy video... wish there was a better angle to see if that guitar really, REALLY connected... what a douchebag...

[oswinta]

drug addled prick! if he did that to my son id slit his f*cking throat

[babyfacefister]

@oswinta but you would be cool with your son rushing someone on stage during the superbowl? You must be a great parent.

[login76]

hahaa, loved the way he just went back to jamming like nothing happened

[Mexicanmetalhead011]

@Miamigroove so fucking true.

[echo680]

Keith's pretty quick off the mark there !!

[BreakRightIntoHeaven]

Mick at 0:04 was just like 'Wtf? Oh well, I'll just keep singing'

[eezysqueezy]

And the moral of the story is, don't ever run up behind a man who's done as many drugs as Keith has...

[witchever99]

Whats amazing is how when he whacks the guy , he drags the rhythm for a split second creating that signature nuance that depicts his style . and then pushes it again to energize the beat . Just another day at the office for Keef. Id love to practice this riff. Where is that fan anyhow .

[thedoors10980]

che keith coco jajaja

[MrWafflepwnFAN]

well , next time keith will be ready with a machinegun xD

[kromen10]

Swing for the fences, Keith. LMBAO

[monkeestealth]

funny as hell

[TubbyTubbsTubbs]

Keith Richards, you absolute fucking legend

[catzdogs1]

@TubbyTubbsTubbs Totally agree...I know Mick was Knighted by the Queen of England...What about Keith?

[Lealonna]

This blow of guitar hurt even me with only see it. XDDD

[salinaspeter]

Coolest video everª

[CitySkin09]

Never run up on a bloke with an axe in his hand...

[kylethompson4]

I love it. Get off the stage...chop, chop....then starts playin' again like nothing happened! classic stuff

[metallibanger]

hahaa

[Laizlabonita]

great

[miamigroove]

i wish Dime could have done that to Nathan Gale :(

[MrDiamondback1993]

@miamigroove yeah same here

[rochebraziliano]

after Altamont and also LENNON assasination that KEITH RICHARDS was taking care with fanatics.

[XxMoiiLisa]

Held

[dafli93]

At 0:08 it looks like Keith turns to Mick like "Yeah it's taken care of keep going"

Mick *mental shrug* "ABOUT SOME USELESS INFORMATION!!!"

XDD

[ducktapesandwhich]

hardcore!

[SusanLindsay1]

i thought the rolling stones only had one guitarist

who's playin the lick while keith richards is bashin homiez with his guitar

\

[JKryanX]

@SusanLindsay1 maybe ron wood. idk who was the other guitarist at that time

[fraancostone79]

grande Keith ♥

[SasoriWoodstock]

EPIC

[MYEYESONECONOMY]

kungfu panda suck on that !

[dannyamosflynn]

I would imagine he suffered a little Tele vision after that.

[blackcatHA]

that tele is an axe. keith could have split that bastards skull open!

[sprclfrglstc]

He never made good head contact with the guy. You can see the guy struggling as he gets a hold of the guitar and then runs off followed by security. I'm a big fan of keith's but I don't want him hitting me in the friggin noggin with a Tele. I'm all for the guy who luckily escaped massive head trauma.

[Jiveturkey68]

@PigeonHunta Heck yea he can i'd take a hit from him just to say that

[carladsmelo]

hilariooooooooo ...rock and roll !!!!!!!!!!

[022130mi7]

Mick: I CAN'T GET NO!!

Keith: i'm going to slap my guitar in your f******g face! oh yes, this is real satisfaction!

[Gibsonbloos]

hahahah HELLLL YEAAAA

[UFCfanboy7898]

NOW THAT IS FUCKIN ROCK N ROLL!!!!!

[iamflipbaby]

seems like a bit of an over reaction to me. dont think it actually hit the guy tho

[TheAceAmerz]

rolling stones are tough, classic and the best!!!!

[Deth0]

Love how they kept the show going like nothing happened rofl
