THIS IS FROM from Q feb 2005

KEITH RICHARDS
The Godfather

Q: British music is great again because...
KR: Is it great again? Im not sure.I've lost track. Is it british, american, arabic? Its all global now isnt it? The english football team has got a swedish @#$%& coach, so you know...? I vaguely remember something about Oasis and Blur . They were british but theyre not around much now, are they? Give me some names!

Q: How about The Libertines
KR:Theyre ok , but theyre hardly muddy waters are they? Ah, Muddy now you're talking!

Q: Another year's over. Are you feeling older?
KR: Up to now i'm alright thanks.But i suppose you should ask the people around me for the correct answer, or perhaps my doctor. I get up in the morning, and everything works fine , and i feel fine in my self , which is good isn't it? I know that will surprise people. But then i've surprised people for years. Christ I've surprised myself!

Q: Are the Rolling Stones still active?
KR: Absolutely! Mick and I are currently writing songs.

Q: What about the others?
KR: We'll be getting together shortly and doing what we always do. If it isn't broke , right?

Q: No plans to retire then?
KR: Retire? I can't even spell the word, mate. Whats the incentive to retire? I'd play on in a wheelchair. Im always learning new chords on the guitar so why stop now? this is what we do. Otherwise , whats life about? whe youre onstage in this great band , and you're playing guitar and everyone in the crowd is going wild... its a great feeling. How could i ever get bored of it? I couldn't.

Q: Who's youre favorite british icon?
KR: Billy Fury. Just for fun right? He made a couple of damned good records years ago, so lets give them a shine. dig em out and play em. Great songs!

Q: What do you miss when youre not in britain?
KR: good question, good question....what do i miss? well, i do miss the old girl when i'm away, but to be honest she does get on my nerves after a while , so distance is good, distance is great!

Q: What do you have planned for 2005?
KR: Another Rolling Stones Album! Another monster tour! same old story, pal. Its better than suicide right?

Q: What are your 5 favorite british things?
KR: HP sauce, fish and chips, the smell of horse shit in London from when i was growing up, my ancestral pile in sussex [redlands] and my 1966 Bentley. Do I still drive it? When im not pissed [drunk] which isn't often!

No news, but thanks.
Keith is ready to roll!


'In the sweet old country...'

Yeah, it's the old Keith awright. But did he say anything remotely interesting?

----------------------------
"Music is the frozen tapioca in the ice chest of history."

"Shit!... No shit, awright!"

Thanx again !
Keef is great !

HE´S BACK!!!

Yeah, it seems at least Keith is ready to roll. SO ARE WE - LET'S GO WILD AGAIN!

Great reading there man!!

Better than suicide. That about covers it.

Hmm, I wonder if the 2005 tour is going to feature a Billy Fury cover?

Sounds like good news then......

WHY do you guys dig up 7 year old interviews, presenting the thread as a new one.

WTF?

Great news!! KR is learning new chords

Of course it's an old interview! Can you seriously think Keith could have said "to be honest she does get on my nerves after a while , so distance is good" after patti's cancer?

C'mon grow a brain!

This interview from 2005 was, presumably, confirming the BB tour? It's relevance to a possible 2012 tour seems to have escaped me.

The KR must have learnt a lot of more new chords from 2005 to 2012.Maybe he is playing better nowadays. By the time SAL was recorded, very few new chords were played. Maybe new scales???

No I wasn't, I was simply continuing a previous thread, same as everyone else

ok, let me re-phrase:

WHY did you continue the 7 year old thread, that quite possible led people to believe there was a 2012 tour confirmation?

I'm guessing that he did it for the same reason that Van Halen put the green M&Ms clause in the tour rider: To see if you're reading the whole thread and paying attention to detail.

Well, now he knows...
