More quotes by Keith Richards
I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.
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
If you are going to get wasted, then get wasted elegantly.
Keith Richards
To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.
Keith Richards
One minute I'm standing at Ronnie Scott's getting a standing ovation and the next minute, I'm on a marble slab
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
My life is full of broken halos.
Keith Richards
When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards
The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!
Keith Richards
I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
Keith Richards
To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.
Keith Richards
Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.
Keith Richards
Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.
Keith Richards
Music is a necessity. After food, air, water and warmth, music is the next necessity of life.
Keith Richards
What Muddy Waters did for us is what we should do for others. It's the old thing, what you want written on your tombstone as a musician: 'He passed it on.'
Keith Richards
To a musician or songwriter, your canvas is silence.
Keith Richards
To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.
Keith Richards
I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.
Keith Richards
