a living testament that Heroin itself wont actually kill you. as in it's not gonna rot your organs like booze does over time. worst side effect besides crippling dependency on the drug is constipation which can be dealt with. and if you have Rolling Stones money you can afford H by the bricks lol.
@@williambeckham7703 I wouldn't agree. Smack doesn't keep anyone alive. I've watched 100s perish to it. Keith is a unique and strong man. I've used longer than Keith. The dope out here isn't dope no more and it's cut with xylazine. I used to do raw heroin. Ive been a addict to opiates over 24 years off n on started 12 I'm 36 and opiates are def not keeping me alive. Eventually if someone doesn't stop introducing poisons and toxins to there system there system will fail. Keith didn't do opiates more than 10 years even. He was clean by the mid 70s only started around 69. I don't know where u get your info but don't spread that dope kept one of the greatest guitar players alive. That's ridiculous.
I read your addictive biography "Life". I always go back to reading marked passages. But this interview is impressive. More radical rocker never existed. What's more important than guitars and lyrics and riffs? Not even your own teeth. It's a way of being, Surreal. Keff slaps society in the face...He's a legend. The soul of the stones.
These chaps are quite relaxed. If you are currently experiencing some form of anxiety listen to these two and suddenly you will be drifting on a marshmallow cloud of bliss...shush Keef is almost asleep😂 love ya Bob and Keef!
I do not even know,how many times I have seen the Stones.When they did that tour with Billy Preston Keith gave me one of the 2 autographs I have of him.He's such a nice guy......
Keith's knowledge is so deep, and he's so humble, while talking about all his activities, he never fails to give credit to the side men, the session players, the writers, and producers.
Keef was in full-blown heroin addiction at this point. His teeth were rotting. He was smoking 3 packs a day and drinking Jack Daniels at an alarming rate. The man has a legendary constitution. I personally have never seen anything like it, and I've been around.
Awesome I used to watch this show whenever they would play it on TV I think it was on PBS? It would play really late at night on weekends mostly, I think. Thanks for this.
This was when he was deep into substances. What I have always admired about this whole generation of musicians is that they are the post WWII generation. There was no such thing as rock stars--or even having a career as a pop musician. This was the generation that decided to forge their own fates, damn the order of the day. Take away the stardust, what you hear is a man who just loves all aspects of music. No wonder he is at the age he is--his love of music.
Thank you for such insightful comments. I really despise the jokes about age and drugs, they are often very undereducated about The Stones; Keith; drugs and other substances like whiskey and cigarettes, et al. James Taylor had a more intense heroin habit and his habit went on a full decade longer than Keith and began before a handful of years prior to Keith's. James was just more perfectly airbrushed than Keith.
@@matejkrajnc1797 I am speaking to the youth culture that started percolating during WWII (Bobby soxers) and then we had mostly pop and niche music in the 50s. The original rock star model was unknown until the 1960s. Those musicians came up struggling during the 50s/early 60s. None of them ever expected to have a lifetime of active, income-producing career.
He was living at the time with Anita Pallemberg and their son Marlon at the notorious 3 Cheyne Walk, right by the Thames in Chelsea, in a besutiful 6-floors Georgian mansion (yours for £3:million). Around the corner from Kings Road, then the hub of the world's fashion and music. He used to walk to the shop Granny Takes a Trip to get his heroin, and there he would meet Spanish Tony and Nick Kent and hang out. Various Rock luminaries would pass by (Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, Marc Bolan, etc) and shareca joint and shoot the breeze. Few doors down the road, at 430, a certain Malcolm McLaren was gathering a motley crew of misfits in his shop Too Fast To Live, which became Sex and was instrumental in starting Punk, while the old guard was busy being decadent. Unrepeatable period. You"d walk all the length of the Kings Road any given Saturday and you spotted many of the biggest rock stars in the world, just walking, having a coffee, checking clothes out...today the Kings Road is a shell of its former self, haunted by the ghosts of the glorious past...
Im 66 years old and my teeth look as good as Keef’s in his 20’s. I love Keith Richards and while he is a sinner just like me for many things under the Lord my God, I cannot recall him ever lying about any thing. Advantage to Keith over me getting into heaven and yet treacherous in his honesty. He is a destroyer of shredders with only 5 strings tuned to open g with a capo. He can’t get no satisfaction but sure has given me a lot of it. If there is one famous musician worth praying for I reckon it’s Keith Richards. Just imagine his band in Heaven. Jesus Christ on lead guitar with a ‘54 Les Paul gold top, also in open g with a BIlly F. Gibbons glass slide on His middle finger. Just like Billy.
Remarkably coherent and full of purpose for a man full of junk. Keef may well have been constantly off his face back then but great records still got made and great gigs were still played. The work still got done. Young bands blinded by image take note.
Mick Taylor did a lot of the work for him, keef was absent on smack breaks for recording and definition of a clutch of songs but Mick T was denied the credits Jagger promised him
@@bingsinatra5283 MT gave a lot of different reasons why he left but in interviews with Dutch and US radio stations he said it was because the Stomes weren’t going anywhere musically any more, partly because of the drugs, but also because jagger did not come through with promised song credits for Tjme waits for no one, Moonlight Mile, Winter and songs on Exile he co-wrote. Richards was a bully who was jealous of MT being a superior musician by far as Charlie Watts acknowledged.
@@bingsinatra5283 with all due respect that is nonsense, MT after Stones produced what was often much better music playing with Jack Bruce, Dylan, Snowy White and his own band among others, his hard drug crisis came after he quit Stones though one reason he got out was to escape evil dealers in decadent Stones orbit but he was bored with their output
The pinned eyes and the raspy voice are a dead giveaway for him being high on smack,But he is not a complete mess here being somewhat alert and answering questions, but he's teetering on the edge.
"It's Only Rock 'n Roll" is a very under-rated album in the canon. To my ears, it sounds like the first album of the 'definitive' Mick Jagger voice, where all of the 60s swagger, the snow blinded sweetness of early 70s and the road worn live band sound combines into what became a definitive version of Mick. Though there's some weak spots on the album (a song or two could have been omitted), Luxury, Dance Little Sister, Fingerprint File, Time Waits for No One? All classics -- and this album may have featured Mick Taylor's sadly final most expressed influence.
Doesn't come out in the sun while not on tour. Licks own blood after 💉 injections. Has a lifeline longer than Betty White. Makes earth shattering music. He might just be the devil himself.
People ask why Keith is thriving and why so many straight lace "moralists" half his age are dead and gone. Well as a lifelong pothead and beer drinker all my life, I can tell you that what kills people is not drugs. It's worrying about what other people think that kills people. Which is basically saying stress is the number one killer.
It was a mistake to let Jimmy Miller go. People credit Taylor for the Stones heyday, but Miller as the producer had a lot to do with what people think of the classic Stones sound.
Thr questions are so empty, formulaic and tell us something meaningless about the diary dates of things and absolutely nothing about the songwriting, the songs, the themes, the dymamics and personalities, methods of recording, funny anecdotes... Bob was like a trainspotter wanting numbers... 27 days recording, 22 days nixing, etc. a great shame.
@@hanssvoboda like asking Jimi, whose new album is about to be released, how many days did it take to record, what time did you arrive at the studio, did you work late, did you do the mixing, will there be a tour? Crazy!!
@@TimLondonGuitarist actually Bob asked the most difficult questions, like 'What time did you clock in and how many days did you work?' Keef had no idea, but as to the actual playing, writing, frolics, arguments, he would have been golden.. .

Keef: single-handedly keeping the English stereotype of bad teeth alive and well in ‘74
It actually looks like he had a tooth knocked out here.
Single-handedly? The host's teeth aren't much of an advertisement for British Dentistry either.

thanks for the review
Everytime you light a cigarette it takes 5 mins from your life and adds it to Keef’s.
I love how they are both smoking
When I see Keith fifty years ago films, can see a very shy boy. He needed the pure stuff. Thats obvious
Keith really looks like a vampire here!
Doesn't come out in the sun while not on tour. Licks own blood after 💉 injections. Has a lifeline longer than Betty White. Makes earth shattering music. He might just be the devil himself.
