Keith Richards - Life (Documentary Movie) 4/6

[Downtownnomesayn]

The guy interviewing Keith is annoying! He basically tells Keith a story from the book, talking over Keith who's trying to tell the story HIMSELF, and then saying, "right?"... Terrible interview skills. Why wouldn't he let the Man tell his own stories, "Tell us about how Satisfaction came to be?" would be better then giving Keith the answer and then just waiting for confirmation.

Only two things will survive a nuclear war, cockroaches and keef!

[dukermacnuker]

"anything else is your marzipan".. lol.. Good one Keith.. English to the core.

The book was a fantastic read. from Toronto

[85antoniosalazar]

FORGET ABOUT THE WAR, PLEASE.

[poetscope]

No song before or after better sez it when you feel none. #Satisfaction

[Atomicflash500]

[atbglenn]

[herbiemarx01]

He looks so much younger when he smiles.

mick jagger-blues ala middle class posh public schoolboy-"tonight mathew im gonna be a rockstar" its like classing buble as jazz

[dharmashooter]

He's spot on about the 60's being the result of ww2 just like the roaring 20's were the result of www1. ww3 will be a different matter.

Always loved the Mick hand swipe at 2:50.

[MMRJL]

I always remember hearing a bbc radio report in the 70s talking about life in the repressive soviet union and how one night in Moscow, somewhere, a house orchestra had taken the risk of playing something different that the diners there wanted to hear and they wanted to hear, and the musicians played, 'satisfaction'

[G8GT364CI]

I was 12 when this was a hit, I lived through a great time, turn on your local AM radio and hear The Stones, The Beatles, The Animals on and on.

[fonkfiend]

this is an amazing series, thanks very much for sharing

[globe255]

Many of Rolling Stones studio records simply have a very bad sound. I dont know why but its like they cant deal with the technical side of the music. The sound is most times too low or not existing.

[kingofpunk1977]

@globe255 Really? Which songs or albums do you think have have bad sound quality? In my personal opinion Some Girls could do with a remix like Exile the 2010 version sounds much much better

[globe255]

@kingofpunk1977 It is bad if you need to turn the volume on to 4, 5 or 6 to get a normal sound from the CD.

Its like the orchestra is miles away from the singer.

[kingofpunk1977]

@globe255 Which albums are you referring to? Which particular songs? The Stones sound good on my hi-fi

[jimmmmybrady]

@globe255 Yeah,their records didn't get really good until Beggars Banquet in 1968.

[JoshSwartzberg]

@jimmmmybrady another opinion, like another a hole.

[steveconn]

@jimmmmybrady Not true. A ton of singles and unknown tracks before that are great.

[jimmmmybrady]

@steveconn I agree.I meant the production was bad,really the recording technique on the early stuff wasn't great.The songs were and the playing was,but the balance of instruments and vocals and the clarity was bad compared to later recordings.

[steveconn]

@jimmmmybrady It was raw, but that was the point. If you wanted sterile, pristine production you bought Beatles albums.

[jimmmmybrady]

@steveconn Holy shit,I can't believe I'm being drawn into an argument about this.If you can't hear the DRAMATIC difference in the Stones PRE 68 and POST 68 then you can't hear.Why do you think the goal was shitty sounding recordings and THEN great sounding recordings????My point is their records started to be recorded BETTER after Andrew Loog Oldham left and they started using proper Producers.

[steveconn]

@jimmmmybrady They just sound like typical records for that time. A bit thin in dimension compared to later eras, but that's like saying Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly records sound shitty compared to modern records. It's the sound available at the time, and that's what gives the records their charm. Jagger's voice sounds raw and dangerous, Keith and Brian's guitars cut through like knives, Charlie's drums are off to the races - perfect EQs and overpolish would castrate all that.

[appmanga]

@jimmmmybrady Just as steveconn said, part of that is their manager was also their (totally inexperienced) producer. It wasn't until the Stones hooked up with Jimmy Miller that they had consistent, professional production.

[jimmmmybrady]

@appmanga Actually,I said that.Steve thinks quality recordings are somehow not as "cool".

[Silviiie3]

It's fantastic, that "Keef" kept his sympathetic character in spite of his turbulent life.

[globe255]

@Silviiie3 Well after all he has a lot of money for his part in the orchestra.

[midasdm]

haven't read every comment but does anyone else look at Keith's fingers on his left hand and think arthritus...his knuckle on his pointer finger looks broken...

[Silviiie3]

@midasdm  -- read the book, you'll learn how that happend. S.

[alijav091]

@midasdm it is arthritis

[hangfire97]

7:10 is great :)

[tubesrule123]

This is so fucking cool! Thanks for posting!

[IdolHans]

"Life" was indeed a splendid book that told us everything and cleared up rumors (Anita was raped in a jail), misconceptions, outright lies, etc. Obviously, Doris was important in Keith's life. She must have gone through hell when Keith got into all that trouble back in 1967. I liked the Nellcote "Exile" stories the best in the book. Johnny Braces, the irate harbormaster, the freeloaders Anita would throw out, the music being so loud it could be heard down in the village, etc

[Echnaton1954]

Read his book LIFE !!! It´s wonderful - intelligent, funny, emotional and that much more ... Keith don´t need to ask for your respect because you´ll give to him anyway - just by yourself with love and pleasure.

[gregjay11]

at 9:00 they talk about the way he dressed, actually Brian was the one who set that style and when he did they thought he was imbarrasing them. funny how keith stole that. along with his Girlfriend

[GrandChamp1989]

Can't believe it doesn't have anymore views :)

[universal80]

this guy is so cool

[rocktenniscat]

'Love Keith's little shuffle, 1:52 - 1:59. YES! The man can dance!!
