alcohol was probably the worst drug these 60s characters ran into. Ask Grace. it still is the worst of drugs. it is cheap, legal, and readily available. in this he is drunk.
Read his Bio. He used periodically into the 90's but hadn't developed a habit since the 80's. Believe what you like, but when this was taped he was either on heroin or a chemical equivalent. He's not slurring words, he's nodding off and pulling out of it. The constant
Sure he was so pissed (both Jack and Daniels) but he said and this is true today...they do not care anymore.They do ,,,or don´t a worldwide tour...it ia all about her Majesty the knight who is so full of money he cannot please his old companion who used to dress them apartments with his boogers while snorting and mr jagger used to piss on the floor---ain´t that blues for you?
keith richards is still alive after taking alot of drugs, but it's alot less because of luck than most of you guys make it out to be.. the goodies that they were taking were CLEAN. aka THE REAL DEAL. partly because of the times, and partly because they were world famous musicians with huge access to good stuff. im not trying to promote any drug taking. but the 'drug war' we are in TODAY does nothing but keep the same drugs on our streets, they're just dilute with trash and poisons that kill :(
yeah I uh doh wen ova den did tha but I won do no you can I doh then we wen to da over der to da place that and I could because if the music yeah you know so i didnt do that if you see why if you can make some uh I dunno because the fans said we I don do that coz if we do and then I can becoz if I'm high this it what it sounds like. "he's friggin' genius". LOL
The strange thing is that in his mind what he is saying makes perfect sense. Heroin is awesome at the time but it is the most fucked feeling when you are on it. Not worth it.
@vicjay1972 Nah, he'd quit heroin at least 3 yrs prior to this interview. This is from the early 80s. The audio is skewed so it makes him sound incomprehensible. He mumbles but is very articulate during interviews. Keith's been a functional alcoholic with the occasional hit of blow since the late 70s when he quit heroin. People think he's high all the time but he's not. I've read that he had brief setback with heroin during the early 90s, but other than that he's been clean for over 30s years
To end the debate I am reading here about what sort of stimulant a Keef is on. You see how many times he scratches his nose? Only smack will do that to you.
Keef is simply great.The human undestroyabble riff.Not the best player,but he invented the best Rock'n'Roll riffs in the world.Tchnic is nit his thing he comes from the inside! And yeah my favourite Stones are "Beggars Banquet","Let it bleed" and "Exile on Main Street"-Stones rule!
I can usually make out what Keef is sayin' but this is impossible. We need someone who speaks German or whatever language that is to translate it. That's the only way we'll ever know what he's saying. I've made out sparse phrases like "Holy grail" "the whole point of being a musician" "we're the great old cliché- a mirror of society" "beggars banquet" THOSE ARE THE ONLY WORDS I MADE OUT IN 4 MINUTES. I watched at least twice, almost three times.
@thewithersband I'm german and translate what the master says if you want me to..:
-Maybe it's a big role in the whole world.We're that big old big cliche:mirrror of society in which we live.I ,ike cliches they're so true and so boring.The record is for me a brother to "Beggars B.".It's not often that we know what we do with perspective but if many shit happens we start making songsof it.We don't go wrong ways to be political or sociologal interesting.>Sorry no space..Write I answer the rest.
@pzolsky He sounds like someone who may not have had much sleep lately either. And a lot of Jack. With a little blow, judging from the nose brushes, and perhaps a hit of smack. I know he still dabbles in the down stuff. Coke is out because of his head injury.
Well, the offical line is that he got off heroin sometime after the Toronto bust. I think he still dabbled throughout the 80's. He actually did have a confirmed relapse in 1998.
@rwk1983 I think by 83 he was off "herion". Large dosages of methadone, especially mixed with booze or benzos produce most of the same effects as dope.
Alan Bangs said after this short Clip that only these 4 minutes were useful, cause Keith always slept in during the 1 1/2 hours they try doing this Interview.
THX for posting this!
I missed it cause i filmed it in my livingroom from an old VHS Tape.
I realized it when i saw the crownlighter on the screen.
@BDFPA dude i am quoting the all might Bill Hicks, those words are not mine. If you have a concern then go to a spirit conjourer and conjour the ghost of Bill Hicks and ask him why he didnt say thought...
he is off the H by this time, he is probably drunk and on coke. it's tough to tell, I don't feel bad for him....it's Keith Richards, he's in heaven, plus he's a guitar player not a talker.
Alcohol with possibly psychedelics and something else. His eyes look stiff... For H I think he would have nodded during that time. He definitely is high as the stars. Possibly a mix of coke in there keeping him awake through that gibberish. It is amazing that he is still alive. How could someone in that state get used to something less extreme. Thats just an interview...jeez.. calm down dude.
Disliking a video of anything Keith Richards is a capital crime. May Keith bless your souls.
