It's 18th December and Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones' guitarist, is turning 66 today. He's my favorite musician of all time and the true king of the cool. ;-) Happy birthday! Keith is famous for his great riffs ("Satisfaction", "Start Me Up", "Brown Sugar", "Jumpin' Jack Flash") but he can play mean blues too. The Stones played it since the very first day the band existed and in the middle 60s they reminded America of their roots and helped many classic blues artists.
See this blues thread on IORR and check out his version of "Still A Fool" played with Hubert Sumlin. :)
Hail hail Keith Richards. (Photos by Ethan Russel). Awesome tracks from YouTube:
Cocaine Blues,
32-20 Blues,
Satisfaction Blues... ;)
The Rolling Stones' lead guitarist Keith Richards claims to have snorted his father's ashes and has had enough blood transfusions over the years to feed a thousand vampires. At this point, we can't decide whether he's going to die tomorrow or live forever. (RS)
In 1968 Pope declared Keith Richards was God.
