WATCH IT

My band can play it better

I'm watchin' it now.
Whatcha see is the World´s two premiere experts on
Berry songs and -riffs. Plus Johnnie Johnson.
When it starts swingin noone plays it better...
The better takes from "Hail! Hail!... " is like a Nirvana
(in Buddist sense, not the rock band) for r'n'r lurvers...
But ya can see Keith is chewin' his toungue Black & Blue...

Oh my god, that's really bad!!

Well, Mr. Johnson looks tired & weary in the middle of the exercise...

Yeah Johnny's like "is THAT the legendary Keith Richards"?!?!

Even the God's mess up sometimes.

Great, haven't seen that one before!

Actually he was chewing on a bullet. That's what he told in an interview.

No one, and I mean no one, plays rock'n roll as good as this, except the Stones when they do Berry songs. To me, this is the best kind of rugged straight forward rock'n roll! I hope i swings like this in heaven.... and that I'm going there.....

Well, you haven´t understood anything about Keith and Chuck.
It´s one of the best scenes ever taped, look at the faces.
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is learning a song again
from his master, named Chuck Berry. Love and Hate. Ying and Yang.
Rock and Roll.

It´s an essential viewing a n d listening. Get it.

Keith really sucks sometimes. And yet you keep on bashing on Ronnie Wood mostly.

I'm just glad the thread isn't about Leavell and Richards:

Look Keith, this is how you play @#$%& on a keyboard!

Keith needs to practice...his vibrato
Cool video though, their really rock'n rollin' at the end!

Its Chuckster f*ckin it up deliberately.
And Django: I forgot about ths bullet.
Yet; if I was Keith; I would have been chewin'
on (off?) both my tongue and the bullet.

what a reatationship..

was nt all that bad kids
just loose and nice practice,
loved it

dýri

bad?? They were just working out nuances in rehersal that you never would have noticed if they had not stopped to work out. That is what rehersal is for. It seems Keith's version differed at that part from Chuck's original.
Great to be able to see this behind the scenes stuff. I would like to see some of this from Stones working out songs & rehersing old ones

Chuckster some 1/16 bar behind the musicians all the time;
while Keiths sense of pace & rhythm is more like a clockwork,
at lest compared with Chuckster. Compare Mick with Keith,
it might differ another 1/16?

that shows Chucks skills over this art form does nt it BB.. ?
keith is more straight forward..

I say Chuckster is just out off pace.
Its a gift; but it makes ya uncompatible to other musicians.

aint it just his singing, not his guitar...?

yea it requires that you listen not too much to the singing,
but count yourself and listnen to the other musicians, i guess..

Chuck rules.

Crucially his singing. To some extent also his riffing;
the latter can at times occur even more unpredictable.

And Chuck rules.
Keith rules too.
But who rules when they play together?

This is bullshit! Keith is not messing up - Chuck is downright weird and hard to collborate with. I remember when I saw the movie in 1987/88 - I thought the same then too

No, he's not messing up. But he just plays one part slightly different from the way Chuck originally wrote it, and Chuck simply points that out to him.

If you hear the original version of Carol, you'll see that Chuck's memory is pretty rusty as well

I admire Keith's patience.
Chuck is great, but we all know he can be a real bad mofo.

still a great look at a behind scene

Keith's not f***ing up--Chuck is just being a freak--that's why he could never keep a band together. Kudos to Keith for finishing the film project and realizing his dream of putting a great band behind Chuck.

Leavell's book says that this scene was Chuck's payback for some supposed (off-camera) slight. Waited until they were on camera and started his cry-baby act.
