The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
Keith Richards

If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.
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.

Rap - so many words, so little said.
Keith Richards

I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
Keith Richards
Image
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

Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones, it’s in the bones.
Keith Richards

When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)
Keith Richards

Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.

To me, life is a wild animal. You hope to deal with it when it leaps at you.

To make a rock'n'roll record, technology is the least important thing.
