Keith Richard Playing Quotations

Everybody's been playing this way against us. It's the same look, I wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning and I see it. I'm going to run it next year against somebody. I've seen it so much I'm going to run it.

This one was a little special tonight. He had tremendous energy for 40 minutes. I couldn't believe the energy he had playing all those minutes.

We got 10 minutes into the game before he decided that he better start playing at that energy level. He's got to learn that he's got to bring it every night. I was disappointed in him that first 10 or 12 minutes. I thought they were really taking it to him. Hopefully, it is a learning experience. He got going after that, but it wasn't enough.

When I grew up, I listened to older stuff too, ... My own kids went through their teenage raving stuff. Then, in the last two or three years, my daughter started playing Ella Fitzgerald and Muddy Waters. There's something about music. When you like it, you want to find out where it came from.

Passing the vodka bottle. And playing the guitar.

If you don't know the blues, ... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.

Mick playing great guitar helped, ... I sleep downstairs and the studio is upstairs. One night I thought I was hearing this old Muddy Waters track I didn't know, but it turned out to be Mick working on a slide part for Back of my Hand . He's always been a good, smooth acoustic player, but the electric seemed like an untamed beast for him until this year. When I heard him this time I thought, 'My God! The boy's finally got it'.
