Ive read his book and its not really that good. Lots about his drug addiction and tuning 5 string guitars but jeez, theres not much else. Sorry but its not an epic book. Ronnie Woods was better
an absolute legend , just read his book and all i can say is , what a fucking absolute british icon , he is up there with the living walking legends that are left to roam , he has music in his bones and will do until the day our icon croaks , check out the x pensive winos they are class
Maybe I was a bit harsh :) I had a few beers. But I never liked him, especially after he claimed in his book Hendrix got the idea of Purple Haze riff from him. Jimi got all the ladies, Keith and Mick didnt like it. I also think he was very envious of Jimmy Page. Jimmy was not only a more superior guitarist but he too got all the top groupies in the early 70s. Hes just become a comical character whereas Page, Beck and others have kept their character intact.
nah keith took his fair share of drugs but he was only a big drug user from the mid 60's to the early 80's, ozzy was a heavy drug user for far longer.
with a face like a vandalized sofa and the voice of a 1940s waywardhomosexual, more a British rusty fork than a jewel in the rock and roll Dartford 'alf crown.Marvilis !
It's true what Keith says about Mr. Mick. I saw the Stones at The L.A. Colosseum in 1981 and you can't take your eyes off of the man. in a league of his own almost when it comes to charismatic front men.
ALIVE SIGHT KEITH RICHARDS ANY NOT DRUGS OF ANY NOT CIGARETTES OF ANY NOT ALCOHOL... IT IS PLEASANT TO LOOK ON IT MAN.... I LOVE KEITH AND RESPECT !!!
Loading the trunk, and thus weighing down the car, with blocks & bricks was (and perhaps remains) illegal in Pennsylvania. We've all been tempted to fatten our women by autumn in anticipation of another brutal, global-warming initiated, record-setting Arctic winter.
Iconic. Legendary. Awesome. I love how the book has brought out his well-aged charm, character, and intellect. I'm also so glad his sobriety seems to have lasted (not without some damage). Much respect Keith, you're one of the greatest.
What an intelligent, articulate man he is. A gentleman, a scholar and a lover of music. The Stones, also, have always being very courteous towards their fans.
This is a good interview, not too fawning, with some interesting questions and reviews.
Of course, the interviewer asks about drugs, and Keith rolls his eyes at 5:25 - "do we have to talk about drugs again? How about Rio - just for today? How about my daughters? How about Amy Winehouse?"
Richards and Jagger are a bizarre reversal of each other. Richards looks 30 years older than he acutally is, but isn't slowing down at all, and shows no signs of doing so. Jagger looks 30 years younger but is showing signs of old age. The moral of the story is, apparently, do drugs. Lots of drugs.
Keith Richards will live forever. I swear. After the apocalypse happens and life as we know it is completely obliterated from the Earth, and the sky is burning flame and the seas run red with blood, Keith Richards will emerge from some door, look around and say, "What's all this then?"
Mick took advantage of Keith's addiction. When Keith was falling from the light in like.... 1973 - 1980, Mick took over. I was no longer Jagger/Richards, it became Jagger (and Richards). My opinion Emotional Rescue, shite, Undercover, shite. Both were albums where Jagger was trying to overpower Keith and be "modern". They stopped COMBINING like they used to, which is when you get Sticky, Exile etc. Jagger has always been the problem in this band. He bullied Brian. No wonder Charlie punched him.
@TheTomito44 My grandpa had them like that and he never played guitar. I`m saying this because a lot of people say "ooo...well... playing guitar for over 40 years", so it`s not true. DUDE ! I don`t know. :)
I think I blew it. Mick is doing a SOLO album Now. with Dave Stewart !! ( I thought he was dead) Maybe lady gaga or britany spears with do a guest spot.. or even bettter Justin Beiber !!!! when your almost 70 you gotta stay current. why waste any time with the worlds greatest RR band > History has shown that the people love micks solo albums ! maybe you can even find a copy of Primitive Cool at Value Village on Cassette.
I'd wondered whether most of his book was ghost written but listening to him, no way - really surprised how together he is and how much he can recall.
Keith is a wasted dude but he is also incredibly intelligent, a genius really. You don't write songs like that otherwise. Just about all those hit songs the Rolling Stones did with the exception of maybe Brown sugar, he wrote alone, Jagger just added the lyrics after Richards suggested some. Richards is like John Lennon, he just pumped out these mind blowing songs one after the other from seemingly nowhere.
His biography is a great read. He's a fine musician and the book shows how hard he worked to play well, write great songs, and keep up with touring and getting the band up to speed and keeping it there. There's a lot in the book I didn't expect; lots of funny bits and some quite touching bits. It's a portrait of a famous kid from my era and in some parts speaks for all of us who came of age in the '60's.
@666max1000 " Ignorance is judging before trying". I read the whole thing mostly on the shitter man ! (I have little uniterupted time) Did you know that keith claims that he wrote some of his best songs on the toilet. try "Beast of Burden"
Vitamin "A" has been linked to a plastic anemia a form of leukemia { IT kills you!} Antibiotics { or the over prescribing of } will soon be shown to be linked to auto immune issues.. wait for this to come out !!! SO ignore me if you like...."Justthatiam"
I speak my mind and I speak freely with a clear conscience. "Paregoric" is merely "Tincture of Opium" but GOD forbid they call it that when they give it to babies for colic. HAHAHA ! Have you ever given YOUR children the demon Paregoric ?
Perhaps the frightful truth for all the mums and dads in the world is that if it wasn't illegal it wouldn't get the exposure that it does { money} and thus kids wouldn't be interested !
@Chinawest1 Isn't this a song by the Sex Pistons ? ? ? Sure it si ..it was on that bootleg from San Fransisco when they dist all their "potential" fans... Horrible album Horrible band...Horrible idea of what "Solid Gold should really be...i,e, a great selling piece of music. That's all .
Is it just me, or does Richards actually look not THAT bad right now? lol. And he seems a little more clear and isn't muttering much... he must be sober, but still.
Kidding aside, I hope the Stones will do another album because you know it would be great.
The Stones imo are the greatest rock and roll band of all time... above the Beatles. These guys are the true rockers, innovators and SURVIVORS. They never actually hid anything and just lived their lives. Like it or not. Respect.
@justthatiam Listen ... Opium has been demonized for centuries. IT is NOT an overall unhealthy thing to your body. Heron is 'not a great thing to do but in the long run your body can tolerate it far longer than alcohol or stimulants like amphetamines, cocaine. If they put poison in it obviously it's worse. !
@Chinawest1 Uhh, no, I won't 'listen'. Eating healthy, taking vitamins and exercising will keep me alive and improve my quality of life far more than any of that garbage. That stuff sends people to jail and kills people every day. I listen to their music - I don't do their drugs or care.
@justthatiam Police put people in jail...as far as killing people.... People kill people.
I never advocated it...I did take the side of reason ...thus it is a medical issue not an issue for debate or any kind of advise for what will "keep you alive" like exercise or vitamins...Also it's not "Their drugs"...These drugs have been around a very long time. The "Harrisaon Narcotic act" made them a felony in this country. Heroin was available just like aspirin in the 20th century.
This man is more intelligent, articulate and cultered that people imagine. He is the core of the Stones, and a good guitar player and innovator, A real talent!
@sail1948 I love interesting characters, which he certainly is.He's a great writer & musician. It's a shame that you think it's all about appearance but I'm not having a go at you, it's the way things have gone these days, all about looks, unfortunately.
Good old Keef, eh? Still has that 'fuck you' attitude to life, and that's what I always loved about the guy, he's nobody's fool. A great character and he knows how to put it across on stage as well. Jeez, I'd love to have a night out on the town with the man. He is in a league of his own, in more ways that one. Never a dull moment man! :)
Cool . Old news all. Drugs in the 60's shocker..... snooze. I will dutifully buy the book on teusday as a good bathroom reader. WHY DON'T THE ROLLING STONES DO SOMETHING COOL ! lIKE RECORD A REAL ALBUM WITH MICK TAYLOR AND BILL WYMAN ! EXILE REDUX WITH KEITH AT THE HELM ! the tours are great but the albums are dull. Do somthing Good as a last gas. In the Blues rock n roll vein.
@Chookiman Do the Stones have one good album left in them ? If it was up to me
I would force Keith Richards to write the whole next album ! Bring in Mick Taylor for his melodic gift and Bill Wyman(for the stones "wobble ") . Mick has almost SUBJUGATED Keith since the maybe the post Exile Era. And has proven beyond a doubt through his business acumen the Stones as a world touring Behemoth second to none. (ac.dc ?).And all on Keith's classic writtng era ! ? I plead ! Does anyone agree ?
@Chookiman I agree! But, the first thing they would have to do is get rid of Michael Cohl; he's a dirty, greedy bastard that destroyed the Stones back in1989. I saw the Stones in '81, and by the time '89 came around, we were all to starved to see the Stones again. The 80's, musically speaking, was the weirdest decade. So, we just accepted whatever the Stones did. But, in retrospect, the 1981 Tour was the last Stones Tour; Keith isn't in control now, but the machine is, read Bill Germans bk.
@MMRJL I did read Keef's book---read German's (he was a major insider) book and you might get a little more clear picture of how the band actually works; it's not the way we think it does. And, might not even the way Keith would like to paint it as such.
@kenpacha75 Who is bill german .. Bill graham ? I have seen the stones Six times in the last 20 years and always had a great time ! I think Cohl has made a boatload of money for them over the last decades . Greedy ? i would take the money . cheers.
@Chookiman Bill German, he was owned the Beggars Banquet Stones fanzine, eventually became the offical Stones magazine '83 to '96. He wrote a memoir about his experiences with the Stones, was very close to the band, called "Under Their Thumb; How a Nice Boy From Brooklyn Got Mixed Up With The Rolling Stones and lived to tell about it" . Check it out at your local library, it's very eye opening about how a band that gets this big no longer has control anymore.

I blame Mick Jagger for originating that annoying pouty-lips duckface expression that all the teenage girls on Facebook like to employ. For shame!

The book that Keith written is the diary of a guitar-man and probably it will be a best-seller .

This man is more intelligent, articulate and cultered that people imagine. He is the core of the Stones, and a good guitar player and innovator, A real talent!

What do these guys have to prove to any of the rest of us. Proof is in the pudding if you ask me.

What a ridiculous old cretin. Theres a contradiction between his wino appearance and his perfect set of Hollwood false teeth.

@sail1948 I love interesting characters, which he certainly is.He's a great writer & musician. It's a shame that you think it's all about appearance but I'm not having a go at you, it's the way things have gone these days, all about looks, unfortunately.

Good old Keef, eh? Still has that 'fuck you' attitude to life, and that's what I always loved about the guy, he's nobody's fool. A great character and he knows how to put it across on stage as well. Jeez, I'd love to have a night out on the town with the man. He is in a league of his own, in more ways that one. Never a dull moment man! :)

Cool . Old news all. Drugs in the 60's shocker..... snooze. I will dutifully buy the book on teusday as a good bathroom reader. WHY DON'T THE ROLLING STONES DO SOMETHING COOL ! lIKE RECORD A REAL ALBUM WITH MICK TAYLOR AND BILL WYMAN ! EXILE REDUX WITH KEITH AT THE HELM ! the tours are great but the albums are dull. Do somthing Good as a last gas. In the Blues rock n roll vein.

@Chookiman Do the Stones have one good album left in them ? If it was up to me
I would force Keith Richards to write the whole next album ! Bring in Mick Taylor for his melodic gift and Bill Wyman(for the stones "wobble ") . Mick has almost SUBJUGATED Keith since the maybe the post Exile Era. And has proven beyond a doubt through his business acumen the Stones as a world touring Behemoth second to none. (ac.dc ?).And all on Keith's classic writtng era ! ? I plead ! Does anyone agree ?
Chookiman 1 year ago 24
@Chookiman I agree! But, the first thing they would have to do is get rid of Michael Cohl; he's a dirty, greedy bastard that destroyed the Stones back in1989. I saw the Stones in '81, and by the time '89 came around, we were all to starved to see the Stones again. The 80's, musically speaking, was the weirdest decade. So, we just accepted whatever the Stones did. But, in retrospect, the 1981 Tour was the last Stones Tour; Keith isn't in control now, but the machine is, read Bill Germans bk.

@kenpacha75 Read Keith's book - the 80s' gap was more to do with Mick and Keith not getting on; not Cohl.

@MMRJL I did read Keef's book---read German's (he was a major insider) book and you might get a little more clear picture of how the band actually works; it's not the way we think it does. And, might not even the way Keith would like to paint it as such.
kenpacha75 1 year ago
@kenpacha75 Who is bill german .. Bill graham ? I have seen the stones Six times in the last 20 years and always had a great time ! I think Cohl has made a boatload of money for them over the last decades . Greedy ? i would take the money . cheers.

@Chookiman Bill German, he was owned the Beggars Banquet Stones fanzine, eventually became the offical Stones magazine '83 to '96. He wrote a memoir about his experiences with the Stones, was very close to the band, called "Under Their Thumb; How a Nice Boy From Brooklyn Got Mixed Up With The Rolling Stones and lived to tell about it" . Check it out at your local library, it's very eye opening about how a band that gets this big no longer has control anymore.
