In 1982 The Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards spoke to Robin Denselow about life, music, drugs - and carrying a gun.

That was great. Never seen before. Always fun to see Keith and Ronnie talk about being clean in those days.

One assumes Keith no longer owns an apartment in Paris?
Though Mick had his place with L'Wren of course.

I remember seeing this at the time and trying to find it on youtube a few years back. I see it's only just been posted. Good find - many thanks!

....an oldeee but still a goodeeee

Yep! The video was posted on an old thread but has been deleted from YouTube.

Great interview, always great to see Keith at his coolest. The concert footage is a treat too - love when Keith used to bark his BU vocals on HTW.

That was awesome...thanks so much for sharing!

I loved hearing young Keith say he could rock when he gets older. Man is a sage.

An enjoyable interview, thank you for posting.

Just one thing: that's a shockingly haggard-looking thirty-eight year-old. Kids, don't take drugs! He looks far, far better now.

Just like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby

Interesting way to spend 15 minutes and worth it...

Always amusing to hear them and other people raving about how they are STILL together for all these years back in 1982! over 30 years ago they were all amazed they were still together.

Dig those red and white striped pants Mick has on... better than the NFL look of the American leg of that tour.

I am still very very impressed that Keith was wise enough and had the self control to see the writing ion the wall and walked before they made him run. He saw the situation and decided to move on from heroin which is easier said than done as we have seen so many many many other not be able to do that and they are long dead and gone now. Good job Keef.

Also very glad his issues happened in Canada as opposed to the U.S... as Keith said "God Bless the Mounties".


side thought-
It is sad to see heroin making such a big comeback with kids these days.
