More quotes by Keith Richards
George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.
Keith Richards
There's just certain styles of playing that you do play in your own way. Maybe it's in the way your fingers bend, for all I know. And so whenever you pick up the guitar it's not so much the sound of the instrument itself, it's like the ting that you add onto it-the attitude.
Keith Richards
There's a demon in me, and he's still around. Without the dope, we have a bit more of a chat these days.
Keith Richards
I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn't get bored anywhere.
Keith Richards
I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.
Keith Richards
This is the rock 'n' roll life, and you had to invent it as you went along. There was no textbook to say how you operate this machinery.
Keith Richards
Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
Keith Richards
Treat each guitar track-and each song-completely different. For example, if I'm using a certain amp and guitar on one track, I'll deliberately use something else for the next tune or overdub.
Keith Richards
If you're gonna get wasted, get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
[John] Belushi was an extreme experience even by my standards.
Keith Richards
Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.
Keith Richards
Everybody starts by imitating their heroes. For me it was Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters.
Keith Richards
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards
It might appear that nothing is happening, but that's actually when it really happens.
Keith Richards
Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
Keith Richards
I'd play whenever I could get my hands on an electric guitar I was trying to pick up rock'n'roll riffs and electric blues - the latest Muddy Waters. I'd spend hours and hours on the same track, back again, and back again.
Keith Richards
Before Elvis, everything was in black and white. Then came Elvis. Zoom, glorious Technicolor.
Keith Richards
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
