Quote

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.

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.

There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.

You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.

The Beatles were basically a vocal band.

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.

I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up to see who's hanging around. Mick's rock and I'm roll.
Keith Richards
Image
I never sleep alone. If there is no one to sleep next to, I'll sleep next to a stuffed animal. It makes me feel secure and safe. It's a little embarrassing to admit it I'm an old man now. It's important to me though.

I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn't get bored anywhere.

You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
Keith Richards
Image
I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.

If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet.

I'm an unpure purist, something like that.
