Which ex-Stones Does Keith Miss?

2009-11-28T00:22:51Z

Mick Taylor
Bill Wyman -- for old times' sake

Apparently not Brian Jones nor Ian Stewart (nor Dick Taylor!)

Saw the dvd "Cheri." It's an ok film, but what prompted me to watch it is the appearance by Anita Pallenberg. She plays what seems to be a mistress of an opium den! Typecasting much? Good to see her ...

8 Miles High

2008-12-26T20:43:24Z

Way back when, Keith had an affair with a model named Uschi Urbermaier. There's now a film about her called 8 Miles High, and there are a couple of actors who try to portray Keith and Mick (see preview below). I haven't seen it yet, but it's #2 in my Netflix queue. We'll see!

Richards' hate for modern music

2008-03-03T14:01:58Z

(Monday March 03, 2008 09:30 AM)

Legendary rocker Keith Richards refuses to listen to modern rock acts - because he doesn't like the audio quality of compact discs (CDs).

The Rolling Stones guitarist insists he doesn't keep up to date with new acts because of his hatred for the modern technology, but admits he's never really liked British rock music anyway.

He tells U.K. music magazine Uncut, "I don't listen to what's going on.

"I don't like CDs, quite honestly. They sound tinny to me.

"I've not even heard the Arctic Monkeys. I know of them but I don't know anything they've done. I didn't like Oasis, I didn't like the Sex Pistols, I don't like any of those English rock n' roll bands. They're all crap."

Keith Richards gets no satisfaction from Swedish press
The Rolling Stones guitarists demands an apology from two newspapers for negative reviews of the band's recent show.

By KARL RITTER
The Associated Press

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has demanded an apology from Swedish newspapers for their scathing reviews of the group's performance in the country earlier this month.

Tabloids Expressen and Aftonbladet gave thumbs down to the Aug. 3 concert at Ullevi stadium in Goteborg, with Expressen suggesting Richards was "superdrunk" on stage.

"This is a first!" the 63-year-old rock star wrote in a letter published by Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter. "Never before have I risen to the bait of a bad review.

"But this time ... I have to stand up ... for our fans all over Sweden ... to say that you owe them, and us, an apology."

Dagens Nyheter said it received the letter from concert organizer EMA Telstar. Company head Thomas Johansson told The Associated Press that Richards wrote the letter and gave it to him after reading translations of the Swedish reviews.

"There were 56,000 people in Ullevi stadium who bought a ticket to our concert – and experienced a completely different show than the one you 'reviewed,"' the letter said.

"How dare you cheapen the experience for them – and for the hundreds of thousands of other people across Sweden who weren't at Ullevi and have only your 'review' to go on.

"Write the truth. It was a good show."

In his review, Aftonbladet's music writer Markus Larsson gave the concert a score of two on a five-point scale, and said Richards appeared "a bit confused."

"I am not going to apologize for my subjective opinion," Larsson told the paper's Web edition on Wednesday. "It is Keith who should apologize. After all it costs around 1,000 kronor ($145) to see a rock star who can hardly handle the (guitar) riff to 'Brown Sugar' any more."

Surgery for Keef

2006-05-29T18:28:42Z

Keith Richards Undergoes Brain Surgery
Reuters
LONDON/WELLINGTON (May 8) - Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards underwent surgery in New Zealand Monday to relieve headaches after a fall while vacationing in Fiji, his London publicists said.
"The operation was a complete success, and Keith is already up and talking with his family today," the publicists said in a statement about the surgery at the Ascot Hospital in Auckland.

The publicists declined to comment on a report published in the New Zealand Herald that the surgery was performed to relieve pressure from a blood clot on the brain. The operation normally involves drilling a hole through the skull to drain the clot.

Such a blood clot, or subdural hematoma, can be caused by mild knocks to the head.

"He will need a few weeks' recuperation," the statement added, forcing the cancellation of early concert dates on the European leg of the Rolling Stones' "A Bigger Bang" tour.

The 62-year-old rocker had been under medical observation in Auckland following the fall in late April.

He had been feeling well after being examined by doctors last week, the statement added.

"However, after complaining of headaches yesterday, doctors thought it prudent to move ahead with a small operation to remove the pressure," the statement said.

Last week a spokeswoman for the band said Richards had only suffered a mild concussion and would not require surgery.

The Ascot Hospital told Reuters on Monday that Richards had been discharged but would give no further details.

Richards was flown to Auckland after the accident while on vacation in Fiji following the Asian leg of the band's tour through Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand.

The European leg of the tour will go ahead, but its start will be delayed to June, the publicists said. The band had been due to open on May 27 in Barcelona, Spain, and May 29 in Madrid.

Full details of the rescheduled dates will be announced shortly.

The Nastiest Thing Keith Ever Did

2006-05-22T18:09:15Z

Anybody out there hear the one about Keith making off with a fan's Fender Strat? I first read about it in 'Old Gods ... Almost Dead' and although I've got a hundred nasty Keith anecdotes swimming 'round my head, I've got to confess, that one stuck with me awhile. If it was my Strat I'd be pissed and it wouldn't matter if fuckin' Moses pinched it either. Somebody else said the guy was just a 'hawk' and I'm guessing Keith would have known it was a 'hawk'. He can probably smell a 'hawk' a mile away. It certainly does make the story easier to swallow. Apparently the guy was bounding after Keith's limo screaming in vain for his guitar back. Then the limo driver/bodygaurd stopped, got out and stuck a beefy finger in the guy's chest and said, "Fuck off, get another guitar". Now, if that's true, it had me thinkin,' wow, Keith can be a bad mother sometimes, can't he?

Esquire Magazine - November, 2005

Keith is featured in a frequently hilarious first-person piece taken from a new book of interviews with celebrated achievers. The pic portrays him leaning back, shirt opened to the waist, green boots, smoke (of course) in hand, a suitably bleary glaze over his gaze, so to speak ... priceless. As my mom said when I showed it to her: "He's an icon, all right." Some of his quotes include:

- So far, so good.
- Some of it, you want to un-learn.
- Poison's not bad. It's a matter of how much.
- Women are a beautiful complication, and I look forward to far more beauties and far more complications.

Latest Feud

2005-09-03T19:05:51Z

From Gigwise.com (among other sources) last week:

Keith Richards has apologised to his Rolling Stones colleague Mick Jagger for insinuating that he had a tiny penis.

After Richards was quoted earlier this week as saying: "His cock's on the end of his nose.”

“And a very small one at that. Huge balls. Small cock. Ask Marianne Faithfull."

The comments resulted in a massive falling out between the long time friends during their current US tour.

A spokesman for Richards has today said to The Sun: "He has apologised to Mick because he was trying to be complimentary and ended appearing offensive.

"But that's the end of the matter. He did say that Mick had big balls as in he admired him because he was gutsy and courageous. How would he know anything about the size of his willy?"

So Mick definitely has big balls then?

Keef Anecdote on Letterman Show.

2005-06-24T18:45:40Z

Dave Letterman did an audience-participation thing, either last night or the one before. I think it may have been called "Celebrity Run-In" or something equally bland, but the story one guy told was anything but bland: while on vacation someplace, south of the border, a fellow and his wife spotted Keef, invited him over for a drink, and he accepted - several times - over the course of that afternoon. Next day they ran into the Human Riff heading out of his room, and he said "Time for breakfast" when asked if he wanted another drink. I'm guessing he didn't mean bacon-and-eggs.

After paying $15.00 to get into The Joint to see Ivan Nevill, Darryl Jones. Bernard Fowler, Jimmy Rip (from Jagger's Solo Tour), Blondie, with Charlie Drakeland and Phil Jones on drums. They were already rocking the house when Keith strutted out, with that great big wonderful Keith smile. The place went wild!

"Going to a Go Go", "It's All Over Now", "You Got Me Rockin'", "Wild Horses", "Street Fighting Man" and an extra long (12-14 minute) "Jumpin' Jack Flash".

LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!

As I'm sure you all know, this Saturday, the 18th, is our man, Keith's, birthday.

This year I'll be seeing and watching some music as played by the Asylum Street Spankers at the 12 Galaxies in SF. If you're in the area - come by! I'll be wearing leopard boots.

Amusing snippet - Tom Waits about Keith

2004-12-14T00:11:10Z

Waits Feared Working With Richards

Tom Waits found working with Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards "fun" despite his initial fear.

Hellraiser Richards guested on “Rain Dogs” in 1985 and drank everyone under the table with his lengthy drinking sessions - which would see him play guitar all night in the studio during their collaboration.

Waits says, "Well you really can't keep up with Keith. He's from a different stock.

"I didn't realise it at first, but then I met his father and I understood. His dad looked like Popeye. He had a little corncob pipe and the wink in his eye - oh man.

"I was real nervous and trying not to be afraid, but he's a real gentleman, and we had a lot of fun.

"He just loves to play. He'll play at four o'clock in the morning, play until the bottle is gone, like an old troubadour, or until they can't remember any more songs or they turn out the lights and tell us to leave."

Hope this is true

2004-10-14T22:29:17Z

From http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/tickermaster/listing.cfm?TMID=1219

The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl made $305 million at the North American box office. It added an additional $348 million overseas for a grand total of $653 million worldwide. Then, it went on to sell 11 million DVD/VHS units in its first week, making it the largest live-action flick in history for the medium. Is it any wonder that Disney moved quickly to greenlight not just one, but two sequels?

Yes, the second high-seas adventure of Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann will hit theaters in 2006, and according to spokesmen at Disney, will then be followed six months later by a third Pirates film. As the Wachowski brothers did with The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, both films will be shot at the same time. So far, the rumor has the subtitle of the second film as Treasure of the Lost Abyss. The really great news, though, is that the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards has been confirmed for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow's father. If you're unaware why this is significant, Depp modeled the characteristics of Sparrow after those of the musician.

Along with Richards, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will all reprise the roles they originated. Additionally, director Gore Verbinski and screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott are back on hand as well. (Kim Hollis/BOP)

2004-09-21T15:02:09Z

Which Stones album do you appreciate Keith on the most and why?

Beggars Banquet

As much as I adore the guitar work of Keith on possibly the greatest 1-2-3 back to back to back rock albums of all time (Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, & Exile on Main Street), Beggars Banquet is a pivotal landmark album for the future sound of Keith. Keith was never a psychedelic kind of player, and when many players were still dabbling in this phase in 1968, Keith traded it in for classic Delta Blues. This album paved the way for the Stones as we know them, raw and dirty.

"Elegantly Wasted"

2004-09-15T22:26:43Z

Sure, sure, there's the creativity, talent, etc. But what grabs me is that whole 'elegantly wasted' style. Keith is one of my role models for: " Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well perserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, 'Holy shit.... what a ride!'
