All jokes aside,... his hand condition is something I'm personally familiar with... I had knuckle replacement surgery that has helped me to keep on playing guitar. After 55 years of playing almost daily, I can tell you he experiences pain...
I've wondered about his hands for years they look so bad I even sent him an email with that very question. So knuckle replacement must be a killer ouch.
I agree and I've heard he does use a backup guitarist playing back stage at times. He's still the greatest. Glad to hear you still play despite ur condition
@@joecrowaz Shut the fuck up and come up with your own joke, you uncreative hobgoblin. Keith’s so old, his first dog was a wolf. Took me all of ten seconds; fuck off.
I'm not sure if anyone is reading this right now, but if so, I want you to know that I wish you a day full of love and joy. May every moment bring you closer to your goals and may you never lose faith in yourself. You are unique and capable of achieving anything you set your mind to!
I have the same condition in my hands. Its untrue there is no pain. Fingers are inflamed, stiff, and painful. Unable to make a closed fist. Soak in epsom salts will help with swelling but there is no remedy. A musician this great will never be forgotten.
At 63 yrs old, I have this. It is very painful. Those lumps are tender to the touch. Honestly, Keith's habit of smoke and drink masks the pain, but the stiffness is still there. He's one tough dude.
In my late 60’s, I discovered Keith’s genius. I bought Sire T3, tuned it in open G and took the 6th string off. I was never a really good guitar player, but now, even with arthritis setting in, I sound better than ever.
To think we saw the Stones for $5 and $7 about a dozen times before tix went up to $10 in 77ish then $12.50. Then $15 around 1982.. Thank God we grew up when we did 🇺🇸✌️
Keith is a legend and I hope he isn't in pain. He uses a lot of open chords as stated and is probably necessary. I've admired him and his guitar playing for most of my 65 years.
very strange comment. nobody counts him among the greatest soloists but he is very good. However, he has a unique place as a rhythm guitarist, especially open chord rhythms, layering of multiple rhythm guitars in recordings, and other innovations.
That's what Mick Taylor was for. Keith was part of the rhythm section. Jones just kinda did things on top, Taylor was a full on lead player, and Wood kinda does whatever they need for the song.
Definitely one of the greatest rock artists of the twenty first century!! Straight LEGEND!! So was Charlie Watts!! RIP Charlie, your music will live forever buddy!!😇❤️❤️❤️
Love his contribution to the Stones Seeing those fingers my heart goes out to him for he is exhibiting the signs of arthritis, which makes me wonder how he is able to play those concert dates without any effects on hiss ability. Knowing how many years he has been playing I am sure he has figured out ways to accomadate his years upon those hands. He has given many years of great riffs of memorable talent and innovation. I hope he can continue to enjoy his retirement and bringing joy to so many fans. Rock on!
I was in the same restaurant in Jamaica when Keith was there about 25 years ago. I went outside and said to the lot attendant do you who’s in there? It’s Keith Richards and the attendant said to much coke. I asked Keith if I could shake hands with greatness” he said right brother brother but I don’t know how great it is”
For me it shows the resilience of that generation. . I can't imagine that not being painful. My beautiful old grandma grew up milking cows by hand as well as cutting down trees with an axe and crosscut saw and digging roots out with a pick and shovel. Her father was an awful man who treated his kids like slaves. Grandma's hands twisted in every direction but at 90 she still had an iron grip. She was determined in her old age to enjoy every moment of life and played 3 games of lawn bowls 2 days before her failing heart finally gave out. There was a lovely photo of her on the back of a Harley at 92. They were a tough breed and yet she was humble and sweet and had a great sense of humour. It makes me sentimental just thinking of her.
I’m going through a lot of pain from the same thing I can’t play my guitar like I used to but I still get inspired to see you in concert it makes me feel better thanks for sharing that
@@teriekwilliams2828 True enough for their middle period (though did Mick Taylor actually make them great? 😀). But the commentary states that M and K founded them and that simply isn't the case!
@@chrispilditch1169 True on the last claim. That said, I find the insistence of some to interject Brian Jones into things to somewhat annoying because it overestimates his importance to the band's entire career and legacy. The band's best work has diminished Jones contributions (Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed) or no involvement (Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Some Girls). Jones had many significant contributions prior 1967 but that electric noodling stuff on Their Satanic Majesties Request was where it went off the rails. Yes, Mick Taylor made them greater than they were. Taylor's musicality improved their overall musical dynamic (as Taylor is the most sophisticated guitarist the Stones ever had). Despite the minimization of his songwriting credits, he did contribute to their music in a way Jones had not and Wood did only in periods of dysfunction. He also elevated their live performances. Wood is also more important the Jones as a contributor overall. Unlike Jones, Wood easily fit into the band when they needed someone that wouldn't complicate an already fraught dynamic. He was highly versatile, fulfilling whatever role was needed at the moment from contributing songwriting when Mick & Keith weren't communicating to supplying instruments outside of his normal role such as bass, drums & saxophone. He also helped maintain the band's image and allowed Richards to return to his preferred "weaving" guitar style.
I was diagnosed with arthritis in my hands at twenty eight,my hands look like gnarled tree branches. But they aren't really painful,and the worst thing Keith Richards,or I could do,is to stop using our hands entirely. Keep rockn', Keith!
One of the pleasures of being 77 is seeing very cool people at age 80. Too bad though that they are usually cool old men! Thank you Rock n Roll universe!
I know people to take difference of what I'm going to say but he's more of a original member than co-founder. Considering Brian Jones is the one who created and founded the group

They’re called “Hederson’s” or “Bouchard’s” nodes, depending on which knuckle they occur: I got mine from playing barre chords on guitar, and from playing piano too hard.

Keith is amazing no doubt, here’s the secret of how he’s adapted to the arthritis, he plays about 20 notes per night and smiles and waves at the crowd a lot
Love Keith! Keep playing. 80 years old is awesome. Do what you love no matter how old you are? Just keep going as long as you can. I am 68, still working, still playing piano. Keep going. Keep living
While vacationing in the Bahamas in 1978, Keith was taking a leisure swim in the ocean at dusk when all of a sudden he was attacked by a baby manta ray. It attacked and stung his hands.

No one has brought "open tuning" into the spotlight like Keith Richards.
_An essential element for many of their classic songs._
Yep, just tune to open G and play any 1, 4, 5 pattern with the "Keith Chord" and you'll sound a little like the Stones. It really is a good tuning
Open tuning’s been around since forever . . . old Mississippi delta blues guitar players used it . . . 😎

I love Keith Richards. He isn't the fastest player. He isn't the best soloist. But, somehow, he is one of my favorite guitarists.
Appreciate all he has done and hope he can continue. ♥️
Saw them play recently.. I was walking away actually really surprised how good he was on his solos
Keith is amazing no doubt, here’s the secret of how he’s adapted to the arthritis, he plays about 20 notes per night and smiles and waves at the crowd a lot
Some people don't have to play more notes a minute than anyone else to be great
Keef just rocks he's not going look how clever I am and how many notes I can play 😅
Mick Brian and keef founded the stones
At this point we are going to have to start thinking about what kind of planet are we going to leave for Keith Richard’s.
Love Keith! Keep playing. 80 years old is awesome. Do what you love no matter how old you are? Just keep going as long as you can. I am 68, still working, still playing piano. Keep going. Keep living
He’s a champion for sure my goodness ❤
Keith the true meaning of a Rock Icon, he's lived it all and still Standing ❗ 😎👍💯
Leave Keith alone. The guy is perfect. He's going to outlive YOU.
These are arthritic hands. It's a crazy thing some people call "old age."
While vacationing in the Bahamas in 1978, Keith was taking a leisure swim in the ocean at dusk when all of a sudden he was attacked by a baby manta ray. It attacked and stung his hands.
My hands have looked like that for decades. They don't hurt very often
"we've got to start thinking about what kind of world we're going to leave for Keith Richards"
80 frikin' years. . . . Then I'm living to 110
