I touched Paul McCartney's bass (THE bass that still has the songlist taped on it from Ed Sullivan show).... I snuck in to the Seattle Kingdome show in '90... and THE bass was just there ! 3 cases were open... but I saw the songlist on one. I looked around...touched it.... and then immediately ran away... QUICKLY ! A cool moment.
That is so cool! The 2nd bass I owned was a single cutaway W. German made Hofner. I can't even imagine touching "The Hofner". I bet your blood pressure went through the roof!
Even though it was 25 years ago, I remember it vividly. Was the only time I (nearly) feared for my life !... because of legendary stories about security personnel being a bit over zealous. I ran fast and far. And where WERE Paul's "people" ? 3 basses just sitting there... open cases. And why were the cases open ? That's what gets me.
Keith Richards is not only one of the greatest Guitar players of all time - But He is a major science experiment. All of the Drugs, Alcohol and ummm other things he has ingested, have made him bulletproof, immortal and he is starting to grow younger!!!
room120times Britian?? Who gives a rat's anus. "Chuckleberry" it is. But I'll google them as you suggest. You realize anything British, by defintion, isn't cool. They borrow cool, mostly from African-American influence.
It's like the show has a warm-up guy or a studio man that tells the audience before the show starts, to react by clapping or laugh at certain points. Like when Jimmy approves or tells something that is witty/funny or important.
that's how it works on TV...I have been to a few different shows' tapings and they're all the same (no mater what the show is). Before the cameras start rolling, someone will come and tell the audience to enjoy themselves and makes lots of noise/laugh/clap etc. when prompted (normally there will be someone off camera gesturing for these things). They do it to 'fill' the silence and keep the show moving...too much silence and the viewers at home may get bored or become uninterested in what they're watching. It's a natural human response to mirror what we see or hear. Not always, but many people laugh when they hear someone else laughing...even if they don't necessarily find it that funny.
some do, but I think it's a little outdated now especially that an Applause sign can only prompt you, rather than encourage you to be louder, more enthusiastic etc.
The funny thing is: Drugs haven't left so much as a scratch on Keith. If anything he is exponentially more witty, engaging and full of life than any sober 70+ year old I know of. Either this is a great advertisement for drug use or a conspiracy has been revealed. In fact, it turns out that Keith never used a drug in his life???!!!
Michael Pierce The reason that Keith is "witty, engaging and full of life" is because he only smokes weed anymore. He wasn't ANY of those things when he was doing the hard stuff.
Keith's expression at 1:27: true modesty. Anyone who doesn't understand that the man is one of the great guitar players ever needs to get over their obsession with 64th note hammer-on/pull-offs. Or listen to "Gimme Shelter".
Keith was born when the Germans were bombing London. He grew up post war Dartford. In his book LIFE he speaks of the horrible treatment of kids back then when going to the dentist. National Service Dentist. His dentist was an x-army bloke. He said there was no mercy. The red rubber apron, like something out of an Edgar Allen Poe horror. They had rickety machines in 49 , 50, belt drive drills and electric chair straps to hold you down. They got more money extracting a tooth than a filling. . The children were given no sedation. He had such a fear following his experiences with going to the dentist. Poor little chap. The fear he developed lasted until the mid- 70's. He said that when he was young they ruined his teeth badly. I am pretty sure that he had dentures made for him. What a nice smile he has now. I know if it were me I too would have been terrified. Keith , Charlie and Mick among other famous musicians grew up during a really rough period in Britain. Not to forget all the people that inhabited the land. Let no one jump to judgement.
Shut up. He was a multi millionaire in his early twenties and is worth 500 MILLION US DOLLARS TODAY. Look it up. BOO HOO so his dentist hurt. SO DID EVERYONE ELSE FROM THAT ERA you moron
When Keith fell out of the tree( a few years ago) at the hospital they said he looks like he might be dead Mick Replied "He always looks like that !" kidding aside! What a legend of the Guitar and songwriting :D
Keith Richards is quite simply the coolest dude on the planet. He lived the Rock and Roll lifestyle to the fullest possible extent, and is still here to tell the tale.
I worked at a venue where Chuck was performing. During sound check we noticed he couldn't tune his guitar. He was getting older and still tuned (or tried to) by ear instead of using a tuner. After sound check the crew drew straws to see who would go tune Chuck's guitar because we new the wrath that would follow if we got caught. Luckily, one of the grunts picked the straw that put him in harms way and the mission was accomplished without Chuck ever knowing it.
Dogwood Yeah I saw him in London maybe2005 and his guitar was horrendously out of tune. And he was trying to retune it, and as a guitar player myself I could hear he was making it worse. It was kinda sad.
@@slow-mo_moonbuggy wrong Watch the movie Hail Hail Rock n Roll Keith tells the true story That they were backstage, and "Chuck had some white tail", and keith went up behind Chuck and grabbed his shoulder to say hi. And Chuck just spun and clocked him Keith wasn't going to tell the White Tail story on Fallon
Makes me wonder.... with all the environmental damage we're doing to our planet, what kind of world are we going to leave for Keith Richards? (The man's gonna live forever if death ain't got him yet).
Keith actually died 14 years ago, but the Grim Reaper is not going to bug him about it. As long as Mick can still sing and pay his child support....rock on
I read ,or heard a story ,that every couple.of months, Richards would fly to France to get blood transfusions, and he didnit,have an airplane! I did hear that.
Note to self: keep your greasy fingers off of Chuck Berry's gear. He's not just a rock legend, he's also a mean old man who doesn't want you fucking with his guitar.
Right. When he passed through my city in upstate NY about 30 years ago, my friend's limo service was hired to pick him up. When the driver met him at the airport and told him he was there to chauffeur him, Chuck said, "Just get me a rental car and I'll drive myself. I don't want a chauffeur." True story.
If you play guitar yourself, you can easily understand both parties to the 'conflict' :-). Chuck's guitar - yeah I would too. Anyone touch my guitar - slap. Two hugely influential individuals.
Keith Richards is a very kind,charming, intelligent, classy,no glitz no frills type of man.I love him he's such a sweet soul and his presence will llast forever and ever 🎉🎉
I like Jimmy Fallon but he interjects too much of his self into his interviews. Carson had a smoothness in his interviews that was unrivaled and he seemed to put the spotlight on his guest and not his self. Jimmy tends to grand stand quite a bit.
You nailed it! And Fallon always tries to act so shy and cute. (Don't be so modest, dude, you're not that good!) Carson was obviously in a different league.
I find Fallon unwatchable. The second he starts tittering like a little girl I change channels. From Carson to Leno to Fallon. Proof that American society is in decline.
ExileNJ Are you fucking stupid? I was pointing out the obvious. He's been namecalling bands lately and people ragard him as a sweet and nice guy. That doesn't make any sense. Shithead.
Keith Richards is amazing. From point of view it's not him being one of the best guitar players ever if how you rate them is how well, or complicated they can play, but rather you know it's him playing in almost any song. He created his own sound which I think it's a big reason or even main reason The Stones music is so iconic. He is the Chuck Berry of his own brand of rock music.
People often rate guitar players by complexity which is ridiculous. For example Eddie Van Halen was an excellent guitar player that had a very complex style , but in the long run somebody like Keith Richards had the better riffs and a plethora of great unfrogettable Rolling Stones songs while Van Halen as a band has maybe 3 great songs and a ton of filler.
I could cry just listening to him. Seriously. I love Keith so much that he would probably get a restraining order against me if I was ever introduced to this man. God, do I love Keith and The Stones. Long Live Keith Richards and The Rolling Stones!❤👅❤

Then there was the time he got paid, but wouldn't let him play. Because his songs mixed country with R&B, some southern club in 1950s thought he was white. When he showed up, they said "You're Chuck Berry?!? You can't play here!". In his autobiography he says they paid him, but it was strange sitting in parking lot hearing the backing band doing his songs without him.
@@PotrzebieConolly Chuck Berry is the most creative Rock`n`Roll performer that not sing or play old hit-records from the pasts...Mayby a few....but. He really make his own sound and so many famous guitarplayers from 1960 to theese days are using his riff! Hail,Hail Rock`n`Roll!!
@@Urbicide Bands don't pay songwriters. The money goes from the record company/radio station/other performance platform -> to performing rights organizations (in Berry's case that was BMI) -> to song's publishing company and to the songwriter (although I'm not sure if it goes from BMI to songwriter directly or through the publisher). The band playing the song is out of that cycle. BMI and ASCAP are very strong about getting the money, and delivering the money to the publisher & songwriter. Now, if a band claims that THEY are the songwriters, then that's different. The Beach Boys "Surfin' USA" record was new lyrics on Berry's tune "Sweet Little Sixteen", and the record's credits originally only said Brian Wilson. But even then I've read that the entire song was given to Berry's publisher ARC Music even before the Beach Boys record came out, so the Beach Boys weren't getting Berry's money. I can't think of any other examples of bands taking Berry songs and claiming themselves to be the songwriters - kind of hard to get away with, you know.

As I am watching this, I'm wearing my favorite shirt. On the front it has a photo of my now deceased brother, Charles, and Keith Richards; their arms around each other, smiles on their faces. They were at a club in Connecticut at the time, and they played a set of old blues tunes together, and a photographer just happened to be present at the time. The first Stones tune we ever heard together was their version of Chuck Berry's "Around and Around'. One of the things I remember about my brother is that he hated to be called 'Chuck'.
One legend gets punched in the face by the legend that came before him... and he still respects him because he knew he was wrong. Old school artist are the best.
Jimmy Fallon is such a bad host, there's no sincerity there at all. Just fake laughter, forced question and pretending to understand what the guests are talking about. All he cares about is making sketches and hoping they go viral. He's a bad television host desperately wanting a bit of the UA-cam view pie.
+Callum Armour gotta agree with that take. it's kind of uncomfortable with fallon at times. but imagine how horrible it would be watching keith and jay leno, or even keith and conan (who i love). conan is awesome at making people feel goofy and uncomfortable but not great at digging into people's lives. colbert might be the best working now, with ferguson retired from it. the new guy cordon has a chance because he's using the british couch model where the conversations take different turns and it's group talk amongst celebs, which is always fun.
"That's one of Chuck's biggest hits." What a great punchline! Keith's a legend, in more ways than one. May you keep on rockin' for many more years to come.

@knight flyer Chuck Berry, without a doubt.
Makes me wonder.... with all the environmental damage we're doing to our planet, what kind of world are we going to leave for Keith Richards? (The man's gonna live forever if death ain't got him yet).
I bought and read the book to my grandson, we love it
Incredible guy and guitar player!
I absolutely love this man.
I really love him - read his memoir - it's really great!
long live Keith, one of my guitar heroes
I can't believe he's 101yrs old already, it's a miracle!
He's 79 wdym
Can’t get enough of Keith!
Keith Richards is a hero and a great man. Real OG.
Keith actually died 14 years ago, but the Grim Reaper is not going to bug him about it. As long as Mick can still sing and pay his child support....rock on
He forgot.to.lay down!
I read ,or heard a story ,that every couple.of months, Richards would fly to France to get blood transfusions, and he didnit,have an airplane! I did hear that.
Some of my favorite stones songs, are.by him! All about you,walk before they make me run! Of coarse,I have no idea, what he is singing!
I thought he was executed with Hillary at Guantanamo.
Keith still kicking ass after taking every drug ever made

Keith Richards
This is the most coherent interview I've ever heard Keith give but it might be because of the contrast to mumbling, giggling Jimmy Fallon.
Note to self: keep your greasy fingers off of Chuck Berry's gear. He's not just a rock legend, he's also a mean old man who doesn't want you fucking with his guitar.
:)
Right. When he passed through my city in upstate NY about 30 years ago, my friend's limo service was hired to pick him up. When the driver met him at the airport and told him he was there to chauffeur him, Chuck said, "Just get me a rental car and I'll drive myself. I don't want a chauffeur." True story.
Sounds plausible. Chuck always wanted to drive himself from the airport to the hotel/gig.
If you play guitar yourself, you can easily understand both parties to the 'conflict' :-). Chuck's guitar - yeah I would too. Anyone touch my guitar - slap. Two hugely influential individuals.
Helium
Gotta just love this guy. He is an amazing guitarist!!! I love his story telling ways.🥰
Not a Stones fan (Beatles guy) but give the man his due. Wrote great licks & influenced millions.
Keith Richards is a very kind,charming, intelligent, classy,no glitz no frills type of man.I love him he's such a sweet soul and his presence will llast forever and ever 🎉🎉
I heard that Keith Richards and queen Elizabeth were friends growing up.
They both would often go play with the baby dinosaurs at the zoo.
Ha, good one, might even be true. lol
I don't think Jimmy got it: ''I ate Chuck Berry with CREAM on it '' and Jimmy says "mustard" ...... what?
Right!! that's one way to kill a fucking joke.. Thanks Fallon.. you POS..
Awe, come on….He's nervous…He's sitting next to Keith Richards!
"Awe, come on….He's nervous" Guess he's in the right line of work then.
Usually you do put mustard on a sandwich and Chuck gave him a knuckle sandwich.
Not unlike when the Stones were on Shindig and the guy asked what’s a Howlin’ Wolf?
I like Jimmy Fallon but he interjects too much of his self into his interviews. Carson had a smoothness in his interviews that was unrivaled and he seemed to put the spotlight on his guest and not his self. Jimmy tends to grand stand quite a bit.
You nailed it! And Fallon always tries to act so shy and cute. (Don't be so modest, dude, you're not that good!) Carson was obviously in a different league.
He reminds of a 12 year old fangirl.
Carson made it seem like a conversation in a living room. He was the greatest! People wanted to be on his show because it was not about Johnny Carson.
I find Fallon unwatchable. The second he starts tittering like a little girl I change channels. From Carson to Leno to Fallon. Proof that American society is in decline.
Am I the only one who thinks Keith Richards is a fucking legend
+Alex Dawson No, you're not the only one.
Yes, you are the only one.
+Ashton Martin Nope, I don't. He's a disphit to me. He's been very disrespectful to bands and artists lately.
ExileNJ Are you fucking stupid? I was pointing out the obvious. He's been namecalling bands lately and people ragard him as a sweet and nice guy. That doesn't make any sense. Shithead.
I'm sure pretty much everybody thinks that.
You're a bit late to the party aren't you?
Keith Richards is amazing. From point of view it's not him being one of the best guitar players ever if how you rate them is how well, or complicated they can play, but rather you know it's him playing in almost any song. He created his own sound which I think it's a big reason or even main reason The Stones music is so iconic. He is the Chuck Berry of his own brand of rock music.
People often rate guitar players by complexity which is ridiculous. For example Eddie Van Halen was an excellent guitar player that had a very complex style , but in the long run somebody like Keith Richards had the better riffs and a plethora of great unfrogettable Rolling Stones songs while Van Halen as a band has maybe 3 great songs and a ton of filler.
I could cry just listening to him. Seriously. I love Keith so much that he would probably get a restraining order against me if I was ever introduced to this man. God, do I love Keith and The Stones.
Long Live Keith Richards and The Rolling Stones!❤👅❤
Same 🥲 how I wish I knew him. Went to see The Stones last month and man the tears were flowing big times, pure pure happiness 🥹❤️
@@lenabou8174 I so don't blame you Lena! They're amazing. So glad you experienced them live. I wish I was so wealthy I could follow them around Europe!
@@movingonandup322 I surprised my mum too, they are our favourite special band, she only realised once we were outside the stadium 😀 just an unreal experience. Sorry, TMI, just glad to find someone who understands the passion! 😍
@@lenabou8174 Noooo... not TMI at all! I love it! We Stoners get the obsession. So glad that you and your mum have that special experience and memory to cherish always. Cheers Lena and mum!
Don't mock Chuck for making sure he got paid you guys. Show biz is tough enough and being that Chuck is black, I'm sure he got screwed many times.
Then there was the time he got paid, but wouldn't let him play. Because his songs mixed country with R&B, some southern club in 1950s thought he was white. When he showed up, they said "You're Chuck Berry?!? You can't play here!". In his autobiography he says they paid him, but it was strange sitting in parking lot hearing the backing band doing his songs without him.
@@PotrzebieConolly Chuck Berry is the most creative Rock`n`Roll performer that not sing or play old hit-records from the pasts...Mayby a few....but.
He really make his own sound and so many famous guitarplayers from 1960 to theese days are using his riff!
Hail,Hail Rock`n`Roll!!
A lot of bands covered Berry tunes & never paid him the royalties that he was due. Many profited off of his music.
@@Urbicide Bands don't pay songwriters. The money goes from the record company/radio station/other performance platform -> to performing rights organizations (in Berry's case that was BMI) -> to song's publishing company and to the songwriter (although I'm not sure if it goes from BMI to songwriter directly or through the publisher). The band playing the song is out of that cycle.
BMI and ASCAP are very strong about getting the money, and delivering the money to the publisher & songwriter.
Now, if a band claims that THEY are the songwriters, then that's different. The Beach Boys "Surfin' USA" record was new lyrics on Berry's tune "Sweet Little Sixteen", and the record's credits originally only said Brian Wilson. But even then I've read that the entire song was given to Berry's publisher ARC Music even before the Beach Boys record came out, so the Beach Boys weren't getting Berry's money.
I can't think of any other examples of bands taking Berry songs and claiming themselves to be the songwriters - kind of hard to get away with, you know.
Fucking racist!
i wish Jimmy was not so fake
You have to be in the line of work hes in. You cant act upset
I cannot watch this show more than a few minutes because of him
It's not about acting upset Mahieu, it's about being human, and being more honest and not fake.
main difference between him and kimmel imo
RimeTime yeah he sucks
on the 8th day, God said let there be rock, and Keith Richards rose from the dirt
Mike Hunt
Bon Scott of acdc actually said let there be rock and angus young was the one that rose from the dirt
But that dirt was in Keith's garden.
Angus and his band learned from the Stones!
Keith is amazing and a true gentleman.
I read in the bible that Moses also punched Keith Richards in the face.
lol Now that is a funny comment.
And the Lord said, "Let There Be Keef"
too funny!! Today, I needed that laugh, thx!
That's racist and offensive
when ol' Keef nodded out with a biblical era cig and set the bus ablaze, the slugger was before anybody witnessed it and he hid Keef unconscious under a tree in the distance.
Jimmy missed the “berries and cream” joke Keef made 😂😂
“Jimmy, nobody puts mustard on berries you facking yank”
Agent J you put the tard in mustard if you don’t see the irony in all this. The joke was lost on you
Jimmy can't cut the mustard
Keith is awesome like always!!!!
Hard to not get the picture of a pirate captain in mind when seeing him now.. =)
Oh how i wish he never dies. Stay like this forever.
Just Keith an inspiration wonderful to see this
Jimmy Fallon has the most annoying fake laugh i've ever heard.
Talk about a condescending little prick. . . Fallon couldn't fill one of Letterman's shoes with both of his feet.
He's just like all the chat show host yuppie boys, trying to mingle with the rockers
@@Urbicide And...Letterman couldn't fill Carson's shoes if he had 4 feet........................
More annoying then Leno???
Watch him with Leno about the death of Don Rickles. Hes horrible.
That’s the thing about those ol 50s Rock n rollers, they cherish their guitars. You don’t touch their guitar.
That changed very quickly in his later years
who woulda thought Keith would have outlived so many other rock stars...
As I am watching this, I'm wearing my favorite shirt. On the front it has a photo of my now deceased brother, Charles, and Keith Richards; their arms around each other, smiles on their faces. They were at a club in Connecticut at the time, and they played a set of old blues tunes together, and a photographer just happened to be present at the time. The first Stones tune we ever heard together was their version of Chuck Berry's "Around and Around'. One of the things I remember about my brother is that he hated to be called 'Chuck'.
Que carcajada!!!... Con Keith Richard diversion asegurada.
One legend gets punched in the face by the legend that came before him... and he still respects him because he knew he was wrong. Old school artist are the best.
The face of ROCK ...
Jimmy Fallon is such a bad host, there's no sincerity there at all. Just fake laughter, forced question and pretending to understand what the guests are talking about. All he cares about is making sketches and hoping they go viral. He's a bad television host desperately wanting a bit of the UA-cam view pie.
If I were famous the only one I'd say yes to would have been Craig Fergusson. That guy was actually funny and had conversations not questions
+Callum Armour gotta agree with that take. it's kind of uncomfortable with fallon at times. but imagine how horrible it would be watching keith and jay leno, or even keith and conan (who i love). conan is awesome at making people feel goofy and uncomfortable but not great at digging into people's lives.
colbert might be the best working now, with ferguson retired from it. the new guy cordon has a chance because he's using the british couch model where the conversations take different turns and it's group talk amongst celebs, which is always fun.
A certified KISS ASS
Exactly
+Callum Armour So you just popped by to enlighten us all with this bullshit? Piss off.
I read his book. Wonderful, well written, and fun.
