@SmokeBojangles He certainly does, and recently played live with at the Hubert Sumlin concert in the Apollo. Also with Elvis Costello in Boston. Please check out Youtube.
Agree .. I find it weird that Keith said. Some of Keith's guitar tracks: "Little by Little..Time is on my side" had thin sounding guitars on them. Great songs though!
Stop that fucking Stones vs Beatles thing, and start thinking about StonesBeatles vs rest of music. Why? Because both are the best and they weren't exactly in rivalry: they were friends, and the Stones wouldn't be what they are without the Fab 4. Each one has great points: the Stones were more rock-oriented and rock influencing, and The Beatles were a bit in the rock and the rest in the numberous genres they played (and that The Stones played in responce/copy)
Here we go again...Beatles vs. Stones...Stones vs. Beatles. But to call the Beatles "lightweights"? Please. Hell, just listen to each bands respective version of "Money". The Stones version sounds like, oh, it would be kind of cool to have Money. John Lennon's vocal take with the Beatles version, however, sounded like he would put his fist through your chest and rip away your wallet if that's where you happened to be hiding it.
About 'thin' guitar --- Maybe the young folks out there don't realize the big fat, roaring hard rock guitar sound didn't even start to make the scene until 1966 so. Before then it was , no effects pedals and all this other crap. Bands then played thru what there was, with all the processed sound and it was still killer sound.
@reg5381 YES THEY MAY BE GONE FOREVER BUT THERE MUSIC LEGACY CARRIES ON TO THIS VERY DAY AND WILL NEVER FADE AWAY....LIKE NEIL YOUNG SAID IT'S BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN TO FADE AWAY....:}
Keith's pretty fearless allowing himself to be seen in public without a guitar in his hand and allowing Mick to handle the audience communication. Fearless or oblivious. Like a homeless guy you'd give a quarter to on the subway.
He sounds so disoriented. When I was young I heard he had a blood transfusion to get all the heroin out of him. Truly an amazing functional addict. Listen to his music you expect deeply organized structured Charlie Watts type.
@drasticwillb Heroin is the type of drug that you can function on very well, just as long as you have oodles of cash and a steady constant supply, otherwise the hanging out is dramatic. Ppl have a distorted veiw on heroin, it does make you nod off if you are sitting down and relaxing, but if you are up and about it makes you very empathic and quite a nice person to be around and can make for great artistry
@drasticwillb Also you do know that Watts struggled badly with heroin and alcohol addiction? Theres a clip here on you tube with Jagger,Woody and Watts and you can see Watts is very stoned on hammer
then with the arrival of close miking , came a more precise and bigger sound to all instruments..then with the arrival of Hendrix, later Stones,Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, it was a whole new ball game !..it's all trial and error people !
@blica1 Geoff Emerick, who engineered the Beatles' 60s hits, recently pointed out that EMI had stern rules about how close one could place mikes to drums and other instruments in those days (literally to within X number of inches), and you broke these rules on peril of sacking. By the time the Fabs had become so huge as to be able to make their own studio rules, many of these EMI edicts were being ignored, especially when recording took place late at night when the bosses were home in bed.
unforunately Keith Richards is right about that..George Martin was a fantastic producer and engineer, but everyone should keep in mind, just like Keith says, it was the early days and most rock n roll recordings were "thin", as most were still experimenting with sound and studio techniques, and rock was in it's early stages..as a drummer i can also say the same about ringo's drum sound..all you heard in early Beatles recordings were his cymbals, no kick drum and barely a snare sound..
I understand why someone would say his guitars were thin in the early Beatle recordings but it's because the Beatles wanted a live feel on the lps. George was also the first to have a "less is more" and "every note counts" vision.Later on his guitar sound improved along with his playing overall. Natural considering what a genius he was. I find it weird Keith said that. Some of Keith's guitar tracks: "Jumpin' Jack flash, street fighting man" had thin sounding guitars on them.Great songs though!
If George was such a wonderful friend of his, don't you think he would've learned to stop smoking after what happened to George? God do we miss him...
This is so cool. Keith and George look really similar. I did not know they were good friends. They would look so cute in a photo together. Dahni also looks similar, and at least I know why. RIP George
Johnny Depp and Keith Richards son are best friends so that's how Jack Sparrow was born years of visiting with your mate and his family. As to the comment that The Stones aren't good and that's why their still around, their still around because oh how good they are nearly fifty years with the same mates. Amazing!!!!!
Keith Richards is an amazing lyricist, singer, guitar player and human being. As for his fingers he has arthritis in his hands from playing a guitar for I don't know damn near fifty years. As for getting "chicks" I'm more than willing to have me some of that. Your just jealous the fame, money and women. Sex, drugs and rock n' roll : ) nobody gives a rats ass about your opinion.
@DalueCommentarys And Keith is still very much alive and kicking today, smoking, drinking and all. You don't know what will kill you, but something will, eventually.
Chapman followed Lennon as he walked towards the gate. The gun felt like a woman in his hand and he caressed it, gentle at first, but slowly he began to squeeze the grip with ferocity. He began to breathe heavily and walked up behind John. Chapman called after Lennon, "Mr. Lennon." As John paused and the Little People screamed their approval, he drew the gun, raised it and shot John in the back twice.-Who put those little people in MDC's head? From The Woodstock Conspiracy by Martin Rots
I had to look up George Harrison's son and wow! He really looks a lot like his dad. It must be so surreal to see the doppelganger son of a dead mate.
Bless you Keith x It is a dark world you enter when simply trying to express an art form and be recognized for it. Satanists abound, no wonder you are drunk my friend
Kieth died back in the 70s but the shear amount of drugs and alcohol in his system as well as the Gods of Rock and Roll kept his corps going so later generations could truly understand...
Damn. Could tell how much it is for him to talk about the people who aren't with him today that he was in the business with. Wonder what he had to say about Hendrix.
Keith Richards will literally be playing the guitar in the nursing home someday as he once predicted, and without any regrets as to how he has lived his life.
All insults and kidding about Keith (The Ultimate Rock Warrior!) aside, no one gives more thoughtful and candid interviews thasn this guy. I, for one, thank god that he is still with us and that he still gives us that incredible sound that can be heard nowhere else but within The Rolling Stones...
"I guess the good die young" says Keef taking a great big suck on the good old white stick stuck perminantely betweens his two fingers. I guess his is trying to make it another one or does he know something we don't? You gotta love Keth...he is the man.

"Keith, we can't do any more drugs because you already fucking did them all, alright! There's none left! We have to wait 'till you die and smoke your ashes!"
it's always awkward discussing a mate ...and one that isn't with you anymore.He's being cool - cos' no one can touch Harrison's perfect feedback intro to "i feel fine" or his beautifully crystaline distorted lead on "it's all too much ".
You gotta love this cat. One of a kind, he tells it like it is (unlike these boring, shallow clowns of today). Oh, and the endless riffs he's rocked us with...awesome!
It's hard to fathom that Keith is a guitar player from looking at his chording hand. It looks like he's had his fingers slammed in a car door once a week for forty years.
@MrRobin14669 Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I saw his left hand. I like this interview as Keith is present but not altogether in the moment. Always liked his guitar sound. I know George was a great guitar player though.
@MrRobin14669 Thanks for sharing that. I'm sorry that Keith has arthritis, but... I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I'm a guitarist and was so afraid I wouldn't be able to play anymore. If Keith can keep soldiering on, so will I. This is encouraging to me.
He only plays at concerts and a little at rehersal. He doesn't play 6-8 hrs a day? Why would he do that? His guitar playing is too basic and simple to require any kind of practice--any high school kid can play a Stones song.
@ratface111 Well, obviously you have some really intense issues with the Stones. I can tell you that Keith and Jagger both worked for years to develop their talents. He may not play 6-8 hrs a day now, but I can tell you that as a young man he did. These guys played and wrote for years day after day. It eventually affects your joints and hands. As far as any high school kid, I don't know. You seem to be convinced of that and if that works for you, great.
I love the Stones, just because I say thier music is very simple and basic doesn't change that for me. There would be no reason for those guys to play 6-8 hrs a day to develope thier music. They just play C, D and G chords maybe an a minor or e minor 7--not a big deal. And the Chuck Berry riffs Richards uses--they are like the "first" thing a guitar player learns, even before Smoke on the Water or Stairway T.H..
@ratface111 I misunderstood. I doubt though that they started out writing their own music and playing nothing but 3 chord rock. In order to know how to use the theoretical tools that they used required a little more than learning A,D, and E. If you listen to Chuck Berry, he plays mostly out of a 3 chord progression, but when he plays for himself he is a very intricate jazz player. The simpler the better is the anthem of the masses. I have seen Keith do some very advanced playing.
@bashfulbrother Do you enjoy any blues players? Almost all blues tunes are based out of the 3 chord progression. Farlow, Christian, Greene, all played off of those 3 chord beginnings and I think they were very articulate. Stevie Ray Vaughn worked out of the same. Bach uncovered the harmony roles that exist in the I-IV-V progression. I-vi-IV-V is another of the basic structures of rock/blues. It works because of it's simplicity. The Stones work due to their simplicity. That's not lack of talent.
@PrincessAngelStar12 Yes...read the description...then write a 100 word report on it! God, how could you ask that question without studying? (just to make it clear-I'm defending you Princess-this is sarcasm-
Some of your comments let me know you are not knowledgable and too young and unresearched to know much about the history of rock. With the Beatles, the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. That's why without John, there is no Beatles. Without Paul, there is no Beatles. Without Ringo, there is no Beatles. And without George, there s no Beatles.
And btw, the guitar chord on Hard Day's Night was George Harrison on the 12 string Rickenbacker, combined with a piano chord by George Martin.
The Beatles lead guitar sound was thin right up to Pepper and it persisted beyond that album too. For a fat massive Beatles lead sound listen to the 1961 Cry for a Shadow - produced not by George Martin, but Bert Kaempfert, who seems to have dug bigger lead guitar sounds than Martin!
I'm going to respectfully remove myself from this fray. We could debate this until the cows come home and never agree on anything. And I respect that. Music is, after all, a subjective art. One man's gold is another man's trash. It will always be that way.
You seem to be a Keith Richards fan. Sorry if I've offended you mate. No hard feelings. Got in a funny mood after watching this video and made a comment. Btw, he did star in one of the pirate movies. Doesn't make him one but he does look like one. That's my point.
Haha...fair enough mate. I also came to this page reading George's name. I was watching his Concert for Bangladesh videos and bumped into this one. I am a big Beatles fan and usually watch their videos when I have some free time. I agree to your point about America. Take care.
In regard to the comment that NO ONE every wanted to emulate George's guitar playing ... I don't know what planet you're living on. I like Clapton and Hendrix a lot - they are two of my absolute favorite players. But to be a great guitar player you don't necessarily need to be a gunslinger. George crafted tasteful, signature guitar parts that elevated a lot of Beatles songs. Take those parts away and a big piece of those songs will be gone. Enough said ...
@FrlghtWolf but he played it..i'll try to write this clearly..GEORGE HARRISON, performed it, not GEORGE MARTIN..that's why HARRISON was the lead guitarist...see spot run..is the cat black?..see mary walk..does the deer have any doe? yeah, 2 BUCKS..WOW!

it's always awkward discussing a mate ...and one that isn't with you anymore.He's being cool - cos' no one can touch Harrison's perfect feedback intro to "i feel fine" or his beautifully crystaline distorted lead on "it's all too much ".

It's hard to fathom that Keith is a guitar player from looking at his chording hand. It looks like he's had his fingers slammed in a car door once a week for forty years.

@MrRobin14669 Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I saw his left hand. I like this interview as Keith is present but not altogether in the moment. Always liked his guitar sound. I know George was a great guitar player though.
jimidee33 4 months ago
@MrRobin14669 Thanks for sharing that. I'm sorry that Keith has arthritis, but... I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I'm a guitarist and was so afraid I wouldn't be able to play anymore. If Keith can keep soldiering on, so will I. This is encouraging to me.

@Salguine yeah, that is from years of playing 6-8 hrs a day for decades.

@bashfulbrother
He only plays at concerts and a little at rehersal. He doesn't play 6-8 hrs a day? Why would he do that? His guitar playing is too basic and simple to require any kind of practice--any high school kid can play a Stones song.
ratface111 4 months ago
@ratface111 Well, obviously you have some really intense issues with the Stones. I can tell you that Keith and Jagger both worked for years to develop their talents. He may not play 6-8 hrs a day now, but I can tell you that as a young man he did. These guys played and wrote for years day after day. It eventually affects your joints and hands. As far as any high school kid, I don't know. You seem to be convinced of that and if that works for you, great.
bashfulbrother 4 months ago
@bashfulbrother
I love the Stones, just because I say thier music is very simple and basic doesn't change that for me. There would be no reason for those guys to play 6-8 hrs a day to develope thier music. They just play C, D and G chords maybe an a minor or e minor 7--not a big deal. And the Chuck Berry riffs Richards uses--they are like the "first" thing a guitar player learns, even before Smoke on the Water or Stairway T.H..
ratface111 4 months ago
@ratface111 I misunderstood. I doubt though that they started out writing their own music and playing nothing but 3 chord rock. In order to know how to use the theoretical tools that they used required a little more than learning A,D, and E. If you listen to Chuck Berry, he plays mostly out of a 3 chord progression, but when he plays for himself he is a very intricate jazz player. The simpler the better is the anthem of the masses. I have seen Keith do some very advanced playing.
bashfulbrother 4 months ago
@bashfulbrother Do you enjoy any blues players? Almost all blues tunes are based out of the 3 chord progression. Farlow, Christian, Greene, all played off of those 3 chord beginnings and I think they were very articulate. Stevie Ray Vaughn worked out of the same. Bach uncovered the harmony roles that exist in the I-IV-V progression. I-vi-IV-V is another of the basic structures of rock/blues. It works because of it's simplicity. The Stones work due to their simplicity. That's not lack of talent.

Some of your comments let me know you are not knowledgable and too young and unresearched to know much about the history of rock. With the Beatles, the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. That's why without John, there is no Beatles. Without Paul, there is no Beatles. Without Ringo, there is no Beatles. And without George, there s no Beatles.
And btw, the guitar chord on Hard Day's Night was George Harrison on the 12 string Rickenbacker, combined with a piano chord by George Martin.
desireelise 5 months ago
@desireelise - LOL Paul was 17 years old when he
"recommended" George. And what were 15 year old
George Harrison's credentials? He knew a more chords.
While your position is sentimental it does not preclude
that ALL BEATLES ARE EQUAL. In the world of
mathematical probabilities it is quite an event to have 2
genius among 4. Now, you would have us believe that
there were 3 and even 4? Who is being "too young" here?
I never said George did not PLAY the chord. I said it was
not his IDEA.

The Beatles lead guitar sound was thin right up to Pepper and it persisted beyond that album too. For a fat massive Beatles lead sound listen to the 1961 Cry for a Shadow - produced not by George Martin, but Bert Kaempfert, who seems to have dug bigger lead guitar sounds than Martin!

I'm going to respectfully remove myself from this fray. We could debate this until the cows come home and never agree on anything. And I respect that. Music is, after all, a subjective art. One man's gold is another man's trash. It will always be that way.

Great guitarist.
spptube 5 months ago
@spptube - The only "pirates" you and Johnny Depp
know are HOLLYWOOD pirates. Depp's interpretation
is an old fashioned Hollywood pirate with a modern twist:
he's gay. Have you ever seen Keith Richards swish when
he walks or extend his arms outward likes some dainty girl?
Real pirates, contemporary and in the past, were not cute
and cuddly. They were more like inner-city gang members
with little or no respect for anything or anyone. They are
nothing like your little fantasy.

You seem to be a Keith Richards fan. Sorry if I've offended you mate. No hard feelings. Got in a funny mood after watching this video and made a comment. Btw, he did star in one of the pirate movies. Doesn't make him one but he does look like one. That's my point.
spptube 5 months ago
@spptube - LOL Nope! Hardly know that man (Keith Richards).
I only came here because he spoke of George Harrison. It's this
idea that people continue to get their history from movies and
"stars" like Johnny Depp. Little wonder America is in trouble. With
the exception of "Finding Neverland" most of Depp's performances
are self conscious affairs with his brand of mugging for the cameras.
He's probably the luckiest actor in Hollywood since his success has
little to do with talent.

@FrlghtWolf
Haha...fair enough mate. I also came to this page reading George's name. I was watching his Concert for Bangladesh videos and bumped into this one. I am a big Beatles fan and usually watch their videos when I have some free time. I agree to your point about America. Take care.

In regard to the comment that NO ONE every wanted to emulate George's guitar playing ... I don't know what planet you're living on. I like Clapton and Hendrix a lot - they are two of my absolute favorite players. But to be a great guitar player you don't necessarily need to be a gunslinger. George crafted tasteful, signature guitar parts that elevated a lot of Beatles songs. Take those parts away and a big piece of those songs will be gone. Enough said ...
kmsmith49 5 months ago
@kmsmith49 - I love the Beatles but have never fooled
myself about their instrumentation. Their strength has
always been their melodies, lyrics, wonderful harmonies
and a whole lot of charm and sex-appeal. George's ped-
estrian guitar playing was buried under a mountain of
great songs and so, it didn't matter. Often, George gets
credit for things he had nothing to do with. For example,
the opening chord for "Hard Day's Night" was George
Martin's idea. Harrison simply did what he was told.
