I have a question to guitar pick collectors:

Which guitar picks Keith really used during the tours in 2012 and 2016. Many fakes circulate on the internet. Maybe someone can show pictures here which he got or caught while touring.

Thanks for helping

For NO FILTER, they are pearled blue. I have a big doubt with the plain blues that circulate for Ronnie's.


FRONT/ Blue Tongue - BACK/ ROLLING STONES in red
FRONT/ Blue Tongue - BACK/ KEITH RICHARDS 2016 in white (100% sure as Keith gave one to me in person)
FRONT/ Blue Tongue - BACK/ DARYL JONES 2016 in white (unsure)
unsure also about Ron's. Mick's looked plain grey - not customised.

I believe the flat blue picks are real. I saw a close up of them in a concert video. I'm curious about the 2012 picks as they're pretty cheap on eBay.

Rockman, looks like you caught one? Very cool.

Anybody know what gauge the recent genuine picks are ?

They also used with ones, red tongue, with Charlie Watts on the back

I'm not really a 'collector' -
but in Arnhem, last October, I caught this one (well, I found it on the floor in the Pit, actually... )

Are you sure that there exists a real pick with Charlie's name on it? A drumstick with his name: o.k.- but a guitar pick?

I was given one in Bondy so yes.

Chuck Leavell and Bernard Fowler also have or have had guitar picks in their names.

i was given the same pick in person so Charlie's is a real one.

ROCKMAN, I'm not sure if these Charlie picks are used on stage though - and by whom (not by Charlie lol). The other ones I mentioned were used on stage, as I could clearly see them.

Got one from Keith in Dublin 2003! Fell on my head

I got Charlies pick from Chuck Leavell in Horsens 2006. Definitely a real pick.

I got 3:

In Bremen 1998 I had a sign: "Keith and Ronnie, give me your plecs!"
One was thrown to me by Keith. It fell down. A roadie gave it to me.
Then Ronnie slided on YGMR, came over, threw it but it got LOST in a
mountain of jackets below us! Fvck! It was gone. Finally Keith pointed
at me, climbed between the amps and laid it into my palm. WOW!
So he must have seen that the first one fell down. I got 2 of his
plecs in one show!


London 2007, 2nd show, b-stage: Keith gave me a plec as I was
pointing at his hand. He looked at me and laid it right into my palm!!!

Have them all in my shrine...

I believe they are ... maybe a nod from Keith to his main man ...



ROCKMAN

Haha Kirk.... he nearly throws as many picks as Stevie Young amortises in just 1 song lol

Kirk hit my son in the chest with a pic from 30 yards out!
My kid bent down to pick it up and we found a second, and then a third one.





World Record-type throws! Astounding.


(My same kid owns a Mick Jagger pic from the Comerica Park Zip Code gig)

Heck watchin Kirk reminds me of what I do for sea-gulls with left over fish & chips .....



ROCKMAN

How about the “city picks”? Are they just from one tour?

I Got this one in Paris 25 Oct 2017

Not a collector but lucky enough to get this pick thrown at me by Ronnie in Stockholm 12 Oct 2017:

There must be a thread in a Metallica forum named
"Anybody who got NO guitar pick by James or Kirk?"

Yes, that's a real pick indeed! And Keith was using it on stage during No Filter, as I got one at the Barcelona concert!
