I really really fell for rock n roll when I was 12, only 8 years ago. But still the journey since has been extensive. I never understood why Keith was so highly touted, until January this year, I don’t know what it was but I found his solo album talk is cheap and it just hit me like a truck, from there I listened to every stones album a thousand times and I’ve just been spellbound by everything Keith ever since. The personification of Rock n Roll
I used to think the same way man, like I never disliked him, but the fact that he was touted as like one of the all time great guitarist when he was in bands with great lead guitarist like mick Taylor and even Brian Jones, but I was just being dumb. He might not play lead guitar as well as Eric Clapton, but he’s not only a great riff writer but he’s actually essential. I think it says a lot about the guy that after Brian Jones, he didn’t just try to be like a solo guitarist with the stones, like a jimmy page or even Pete Townsend who as well is far from an Eric Clapton on lead, and again, he even brought in mick Taylor who was a literal virtuoso on the guitar.
@@worldview6218 I always liked the groove between Brian and Keith the best. Neither was a technical wizad but Keith himself talks about the "ancient art of weaving". Mick Taylor was a way better guitarist but quite frankly Keith wrote his best riffs in the Brian period. I am also convinced that Brian wrote the riffs that he played, and therefore was a more important "composer" than people give him credit for being. I leave the Stones controversies to the historians. I am more of a music theorist. I consider the classic Stones period to be their best, and of course that includes Keith's amazing riffs from that period.
Keith Richard's is my favorite Rolling Stone, my second favorite Stone is our late Charlie Watt's. Throughout Keith's career his exceptional showmanship and skill as a rythm guitarist has set him apart by far from most Rock and Roll artist. I think his songwriting skills are often overlooked and he deserves more credit and attention for his unique qualities as song Smith. One title bestowed upon Keith is the Riff Master, I couldn't agree more. As a fan of the Stones, I'm very grateful for all of Keith's experience and contribution to the ongoing success of this remarkable Rock and Roll band. Long Live Keith Richard's.
Been my favorite since I began diggin them.Keith my favorite hero and little of a role model(not so healthy all the time but it went well).Without Keith no Stones sound his playing is what gives them that uniqe sound.And his songwriting!!!And singin!!And his style,look in the 70's.He looked so cool.He's contributed more than what most people understand,to rockmusik in so many ways. And he was first with a cool "rockstar"look. And nowadays he's the Stone in best Shape.Heard him with the Winos(from this year),his playing And singing!Sounded like he was 30 years old.Yeah he's the man And Charlie so good And funny.You hear the difference in their concerts now without him!Not as good.The Stones have been much more important than they get Credit for.
A few years ago Britain's much respected Channel 4 gave an entire weekend to Keith. He showed historical documentaries, favourite films & much else!! It was highly illuminating of the man.!! 😊
Thankyou Keith, This is such an interesting and moving look at post-war Britain, it took courage to do this because it flies in the face of the programmed ignorance of current pop. You guys are deep because your story is deep. Good on you.
Outstanding use & editing of 40's & 50's stock footage combined with covers of Stones music that is both pertinent & hilarious to the telling of this epic, charming, & bawdy tale of growing up in postwar Britain. The story is classic in the unfolding drama of an accomplished boy scout & cherubic choir boy who get's tossed into the crossroads of life which, when his voice breaks, marks his fall from establishment grace & the beginning of a new life as a fallen angel of the blues & rock music.
This is fascinating, really. I've never seen autobiographical material presented this artfully before. I'd be fascinated to know how much of that background footage came about like the couple dancing around the kitchen with the aprons, etc,. Probably just some stock footage from the BBC vault but the editors who put it together as artfully as they did certainly deserve much credit.
Keith is 100% an amazing human being. This was really fun to watch. He’s not like your stuck up, my shit don’t stink type of celebrity. He’s relatable in lots of ways with us normal everyday people. Fucking love the guy🖤💙🤍
Keith and mom are so lucky and blessed during this horrific times of war! Hard times he experienced during his boyhood, but now a beautiful & comfortable life he has. Thank you for sharing your life docu, Keith! Very interesting.
Ich habe auch Glück gehabt - damals in Dresden! Wundervolle und ehrliche Dokumentation von Keith Richards - eine nachdenkliche und anrührende Reise in die Vergangenheit! Ein Mann mit Tiefgang - ich habe ihn immer geliebt!
great film....love playing along with the guitar parts.....may they all live into their 100s....sticky fingers....let it bleed...are my favorites.....Keith is the ultimate role model.....rock on Keith you are a great guitar player .....
"I was born in a crossfire hurricane" The first line of Jumpin' Jack Flash is a reference to the bombing raid on Dartford on the night Keith was born in an air raid shelter as his parents home was bombed to oblivion by the luftwaffe.. Above all else Keith is a survivor.
~Awesome stuff,love Keef & his magic,love the blues from a very young age the stones have always been hip to the skip!! Greatest bunch of ol timers on the planet,greatest band on the planet!!Greatest,sexiest,front man ever!!....Kisses!!
English war damaged father. Welsh mother who'd lost her lover to this, so married my horrible father. So I'm really pleased to get this Documentary, keef. I've got serious brain injury too with slur and memory etc. 7 years injury denied cos I ain't got your money, but I've got you as inspiration.
I don't know what it is I hate this country but love it so much I have traveled many places abroad but after a few weeks I can't wait to get back I couldn't live anywhere else there's something special about the history culture and mainly the humour and the people of England
Me too Olive, stayed up all night (3 nights in a row) to video tape his Keith Weekend special on BBC TV a few years ago, 4 DVD's it takes pride of place in my Keith collection🎸💎☘️🇨🇮
I'm sure I have the longer Director's Cut 75 min version in my collection, also the Lost Weekend BBC2/BBC4 TV Special,my house is a shrine to Keef, from the time I heard U got the Silver he's been my idol. Irish Don
Thank you Kieth. I was a child of the 60's but we all had relatives who were in the war.the Big One. My life was shaped by a war that wasa over in 46 yet My generation had th eBOMB and Vietnam. The Cold war.....
...and the nurses took one look at the baby Keef and screamed, "OH MY GOD! HIS EARS ARE BIGGER THAN PRINCE CHARLES'S EARS!!!! HE WILL BE ROCK ROYALTY, AND THEY ALL GAZED IN WIDE EYED WONDERMENT.
I think that now that The Stones are down to Mick and Keith, maybe they should get together and do an album of old blues songs more or less in the duo style of Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry... I think it would go down well for them.
I always love the over embellishments of an old man...people get uptight about that thing but a story has been finessed by the time someone gets on a bit
How sweetly candy-ass are the Americans! Even our music tends to reflect this, even when we try to be bad-ass. Keef instead means business and always has.
hah! I really like the stones but I'll take howling wolf, muddy waters, Jimmy reed, little walter, Wilson Pickett, Bobby Womack, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy holly any day of the week over those English boys. I can't stand to hear Mick Jagger ruin a good blues song. that man couldn't sing a good blues if his life depended on it.
Ever heard Keith sing Wild Horses, as compared to Mick Jagger in any time in the last 30 years or so? Even with Keith going out of tune in his rough-as-guts ripped up broken voice, it just sounds so much more authentic and real and worth listening to in some genuine musical way . . .
Wow, generalized nationalism is a real drag. Try telling Keith Richards that Americans are candy-asses and that their music sucks. You can probably find him. He lives in Connecticut... in the United States.
Well Put Together This Is ,Hard to Believe They Are all in There 70s ,Charlie 80 Come June 2nd I Cannot Think of What More The Stones Can Do They Like All of Us Waiting out This Virus BS ,,No Matter What They Have Done Practically All Anyone Can Hope For The Legacy They Leave Will N.vever Be Repeated Mr Richard's Can Rest Easy
See a Nice Bit Smog and pollution never done no one no harm, just ask Ya Uncle Keith 😂🤣❤️🌞 To think London was once this Great and now its so false and full of 🔔 ENDS
