@chrisblockley5783 Was he though? I'd personally always thought of him as the original frontman/lead Singer hero (with a fantastic voice ) as opposed to guitar hero. I don't see him as a guitar hero in the way I see people like ,Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page ,Dave Gilmour,Mark Knofler,Brian May,Lindsey Buckingham etc etc etc
Jimmy Page is one or both guitarists on a number of 60's Kinks albums, but nobody's tattling. On the other hand, Ray Davies is on my personal list of "Best Lyricists of the Rock n' Roll Era". Jack White is on there, too, so take it or leave it.
Nice presentation. Like it when important artists pay tribute to their influences. I have often used such interviews to delve into other musicians' work I may not have listened to. And he is spot on about Steve Marriott.
Keef is living proof of the power of heartfelt enthusiasm. That this incomparable musician should carry himself with such humility shows that his is a most intimate knowledge of and relationship with the living source of all true inspiration. He blesses us because he himself is blessed.
I loved the choices and enjoyed the video. I will add that Steve Marriott was a showman. Did you ever wonder where those rock star moves came from in general, and Robert Plant's in particular? Steve Marriott invented many of them. Robert Plant was an acolyte and occasional roadie/helper for the Small Faces. Far from resenting the fact that Robert Plant borrowed much of his act, his comment to Plant was "Go on, son!" Fun fact: Steve Marriott was one of two famous and rather small singers who got their start as the Artful Dodger in the musical "Oliver!" (It's Marriott who sang the part in the original cast album.) The other was Davey Jones. Finally, I'm going to have to listen to Keith's first two choices more. I have been thinking for a long time that whoever invented those two early rock and roll sounds--rockabilly and, what, R & B rock and roll, Little RIchard style--were geniuses and given far too little credit. I'm not sure there was ever music that effing moves, or makes you want to move, like those two kinds.
The Hillbilly Cat was Elvis, not his band. He was called that by the folks at the Louisiana Hayride in 1955. Scottie Moore and Bill Black (Elvis' band) were The Blue Moon Boys--named so for the flipside of their first record, That's All Right. I think Keith was using it a descriptive phrase, not as a title for the band.
“In these choices, we get a glimpse into what makes Richards tick as a musician.” Like we need the choices to do that. If you can’t tell that from his playing, you aren’t listening.
Ah! I knew Keith was into that album, but I didn't know the story. But which Mick? Actually, don't answer that -- 1978, so it's unlikely to be Taylor. I didn't "get" AC/DC until "Girls Got Rhythm" came on some college station when I was driving home one night, and a lightbulb went off: "this isn't hard rock or heavy metal at all. This is dance music!" I think that's how they're able to permute every combination of power chords for years and have it work every time -- because it makes you want to jump up and down. [edit: I was just listening to Powerage, and I can imagine Keef hearing "Gone Shooting" and going "I could have written this! I wish I had."
@@jessejordache1869 Never cared for AC/DC when they were HUGE (just call me stupid) but when I read Mick's story about Powerage I said O.K., if Keith loves it I gotta give it a listen.....and he was right. What absolutely kill's me is the sound that they create, 5 seconds in and you say.....That's AC/DC. And the topper is that Angus & Malcom (RIP) are like 5 ft nothing with fingers shorter than most folk's toes. And yet it was their dream to play rock n' roll. Heard an Angus interview where talked about having to create chords using sets of two or three strings instead of all 6 cause his fingers just couldn't reach. But neither he or Angus let that stop them. It's a beautiful life lesson. They could have just given up and said we are cursed with small hands. Instead they figured out their own way to get the sound they wanted. They didn't give up. Cheers to them. And we're all better for it!
@@lu77xiaojun37 I think it's kind of a good thing that I discovered them late, because if I were a teenager when I was into them, I would have played them into the ground. Now I get to enjoy them as an adult.
Little Richard rightly claimed to be both the King AND Queen of rawk n' roll, dear...& Tutti Frutti is nothing but a coded reminder to use enough lube.
Other bands that Keef was into: AC/DC (Bon era), Free, Little Feat, ZZ Top (He introduced them into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame) and Motorhead. It wasn't that he didn't like hard rock, but it had to roll too. He even had good words to say about the Pistols.
That is one incredible song, written by Steve and belted out with a force and passion that seems unbelievable, he was also a superb Blues Harmonica exponent.
Scotty Moore is credited with inventing the power chord. Singling out Steve Marriott is also cool, because that guy is the epitome of having all the talent in the world and the worst luck. Learning his story gave me insight into why, whenever I was record shopping at the salvation army, there were always like 20 copies of Frampton Comes Alive. Keith Richards' favorite AC/DC album is Powerage, and he's right about that, too. Keith Richards is the coolest person alive, because of all the people currently living, he comes closest to being Keith Richards.
Hmmm, interesting. my first two albums were, Stones - Goat's head soup and Humble Pie's 'Rockin' the Fillmore' - on the same day in 1973 - I still play both of them today in 2024.
Steve Marriott keeps popping up all the time had he lived his true time would have come. Back up singer Clydie King keeps popping up too. If you keep digging you’ll find long John Baldry.
If you had to name the most important person in rock maybe Richards is worth considering because the amount of exceptional guitar riffs he has created will never be equalled.
I am surprised that Keith Richards did not name the Muddy Waters band that had the 1950 hit song, "Rollin' Stone" that Keith's groups took for their band's name.
Brian Jones was asked for the name of the band. There was no name of the band. So he was in trouble and looked around in that office and saw that single in a shelf... (No influence only a good name.)
Just a bit of trivia: Did you know that Paul McCartney ended up owning Hillbilly Cats' Bill Black's original Kay upright bass, the one that Bill played on all of Elvis' early hit records, right up until Jailhouse Rock in 1957, when Black became an early player to switch over to the electric Fender Precision Bass guitar, which came out in 1951? I think Paul received it as a gift, maybe from his wife? He talks about it, (and plays it,) in an interview, which can likely be found here on YT!
@robertpetersen6122 Nah,the Stones have always paid homage to others,especially their blues heroes like Muddy Waters,B.B King etc after all they started as a blues cover band and it was those records under Jaggers arm that made keith go up to him and renew their old friendship
Keith wouid unfortunately, like Pete Townsend, eventually, through "criticism", only reveal how butthurt he was that LZ leapfrogged to #1 in the world after Aug. '69 (Abbey Road and Woodstock), the same week!). And, like Pete, he would get into public discourse about it (though he did say, that as guitarists went, "it's Jimmy (Page)... yeah, Jimmy". Some class there. on the downside, Keith criticized Bob Dylan as overblown, to which Bob (reportedly) replied. "I could have written Honky Tonk Women, you could never have written Subterranean Homesick Blues." And, after Keith criticized Elton John as "the world's greatest lounge singer"😁, Elton publicly called the Stones "the world's greatest bar band".🤣
@@jimbommarito6797Keith is a good friend of Page. He respects his playing. Page and John Paul Jones played on a few Stones sessions too. Keith didn’t care for Plants squeeling voice and thought Bonham was heavy handed thus the “led”. He just never cared for the band and 8 minute songs with orchestral parts aren’t him thing nor are they a lot of people’s thing.

Steve Marriot was the original singer that Jimmy Page wanted for Led Zeppelin, but Marriot was not interested, so John Bonham brought his friend Robert Plant to audition. The rest is history.
Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey...or Mick Jagger? Keith has a hard time in these sorts of comparisons explaining why Plant and Daltrey were showmen...and Mick wasn't. Doesn't wash. They all posed and preened in their own ways...
Never paid any attention to Richards as a human being until I saw his Chuck Berry tribute movie and the man endeared himself to me. Would have never guessed there was so much patience and compassion in him. But what can you say about the post 1973 output of the Rolling Stones other than mediocre? The SMALL FACES as a band were a phenomenon as inexplicable as the Beatles and the Stones. How did this happen? It will never happen again.
Ja ,leider hat nur Keith Ritchard gute Worte für den ausnahmamusiker ...Saenger...Gitarrist...Komponist...Steve Mariott. Er war der Vorreiter für solche Bands,wie Free,CREAM,Led Zeppelin u.a.Ein großer Unterschied war,dass Steve Mariott auch den Soul in seiner Musik zw.Rhythm and Blues,Beat-Rock und Psychedelic sowie Folk integriert hat. Hört nur seine unvergessliche Kompositionen mit den Small Faces und Humble Pie an,bitte !!! R I P Dear Steve Mariott. Dein Erbe lebt weiter...durch viele Musiker für die Du ein Idol bist und Durch Deine Tochter... Dr.Ilja Lasaroff.Bulgarien.
Agree with most. He's right/wrong on Marriot. Marriot was a good musician, but he was always a show-boater. Played with him few times. He'd literally overdo practically everything. Drive you nuts. Keith is cool.
I like the Beatles early and especially the middle music better than the later stuff, but there were some gems later on , but there were some real stinkers later on.
I understand to a degree but there's an element of "get off my lawn" to your assessment too. The Beatles needed to evolve naturally and to respond to whatever was turning them on at the time. Did you want them to keep playing 3 minute love/pop songs throughout their entire career? They created the template for using the studio as another integral part of their sound and that ended up with some amazing material. There was some self indulgent stuff (the White album comes to mind) but overall I would say their most interesting work was from 66 on.
What’s most interesting about Richards’s comments is how they leave out the most obvious about the roots of blues and rock and roll: black people. I understand that he got punched by this Chuck Berry fellow. Also, let it be known that both he and Mick Jagger had mean, undeserved, and disparaging things about black people off the cuff, like Eric Clapton. Elvis is supposed to be the greatest, yet he didn’t write any songs. He wasn’t the greatest guitarist. So what makes Elivs more than anything than a man who moves his hips with a keen eye for the girls on the small and young side? Sure, Elvis could sing, but then a lot of people, black people, could sing. Did I mention that the “blacks” could also dance the King of Rock and Roll under the table? When it’s all stripped down, back to Richards, how much more is he than a man who plays guitar? Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Rolling Stones for their swagger and the content of the lyrics of their songs. But, not to mention much about black people at the start revealed insecurity to me for having the misfortune of not being born black and from where I was born, which is in the Mississippi Delta. A s for the Beatles, the early Beatles music was, for me, by far the best in terms of straightforward, well-written, raucous rock and roll. Of course, as Lennon admits, the Beatles ceased to be a band that performed rather than a group searching for something more in composing, content, and creativity, and there went the rocket fuel. For me, this songwriting is where the Beatles came to separate themselves from the rest of the pretenders. And then there was Michael Jackson. Start your engines. Van Halen beat it solo; legendary.
In other interviews Keith will bang on about Muddy Waters, Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian being his heroes. You'll never hear him recognise later talent such as Brian Eno or Paul Weller for example. He's stuck in a time bubble.
For anyone expecting to hear Keef telling us about these acts, look elsewhere. This is some nameless dude telling us what Keef thinks - with an occasional few words from The Man himself. YT is stuffed with this sort of bullsh!t misleadingly presented filler. Avoid it and give them the thumbs down.
Thumbs down. The title says it: "Keith Richards Names..." With only a few words on each, the rest of the 11 minutes are the words of the self-indulgent narrator. And with almost no clips at all of the bands mentioned--we only get a snippet of Dave Barholomew's large band--and none of the other three.
With Richards you have to read between the lines: with Zeppelin now we know that it's nothing but a cover band with great guitar work, and with Sgt Pepper, as great as that album was and loved by the main-stream media, it's still not as phenomenal and innovative as what they did after it... That's what he meant.
He never said Led Zep was bad, he's said in loads of interviews how much he respected their musicianship and how good players they were but he just personally didn't really like the music,it never did it for him. What's wrong with that? Music is a personal thing,we don't all like the same thing. I don't like jazz, but I certainly know how talented some Jazz musicians are. I also know that the members of led Zep are FAR SUPERIOR musicians than The members of the Stones, BUT I prefer the music of the Stones, I don't care that Jimmy Page is a better guitarist than Keef, to my ears, I'd much rather listen to the Stones
@@GeorgeTel100 Wrong whatever YOUR opinion and taste, to which you are welcome, Sgt Peppers is BY FAR their most important and IMHO their best, most creative and innovative; Richard's is just another dick like Pete Townsend. Sgt Peppers was their peak and their decline was shown in their last 2 LPs which John called 'the sound of a band dying' which indeed it was. The Beatles last creative LP was 'The White Album', the last two were just nicely produced nostalga. Sgt Pepper's CHANGED the world. COMPLETELY!
You’re correct this Bloke was worn out by 1985 who you like in music is who you like all the better musicians seem to have very respectful reserved opinions of others if you listen to Dave Gilmore or Brian May or Someone like Mark Knofler there level never listen to anyone who is to stunned by themselves
I think there is bitterness that Led Zeppelin basically upstaged the Stones and made Dinosaurs out of them. He obviously hates heavy rock/metal, but the NWOBHM swept dinosaurs like the stones away and basically turned them into a nostalgia act....
Steve Marriot, what a talent. Preach Keef!!!!
I agree with Keith😊
Steve Marriott… what a talent and such a shame how he passed away
Steve Marriott was really one of the very greatest singers ever! It's sad that he is forgotten by many people today.

Mick was set in the Blues. He was gifted in interpreting its Form. The Beatles however were never drawn to the Blues with obviously set them apart.
The Beatles were quintessentially English, whereas the Stones were English trying to be American.
Keith,the epitome of kewl!
Steve Marriot was the original singer that Jimmy Page wanted for Led Zeppelin, but Marriot was not interested, so John Bonham brought his friend Robert Plant to audition. The rest is history.
Terry Reid was Plants first choice
Sorry, I meant Pages choice, check out Terry he was on fire in the 60's and 70's.
What happened to Hubert Sumlin?
When he says Hillbilly Cats he means the Blue Moon Boys aka Scotty Bill and DJ.
WoW! Great to learn Keef agrees with me!! Steve Marriot is AWESOME!!! And completely UNDER-RATED!!
Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey...or Mick Jagger? Keith has a hard time in these sorts of comparisons explaining why Plant and Daltrey were showmen...and Mick wasn't. Doesn't wash. They all posed and preened in their own ways...
I've heard him say that Jagger was the greatest showman.
Couldn't watch this. I only want to hear Keith speak.
The Hillbilly Cats, The Beatles, Fats Domino and Little Richard, and Steve Marriott are his four favorite?
As a Genesis fan I could not disagree more with Richard's critique of Sgt. Pepper's: Without this album there would have been no ProgRock.
Exactly, that's why I agree with Keef. Aside from Pink Floyd, it's all just a lot of pompous, impotent crap.
LET THE GUY Play WHAT HEWANTS TO PLAY....
I have to ask "Who cares"? I care about who I like not anyone else
Never paid any attention to Richards as a human being until I saw his Chuck Berry tribute movie and the man endeared himself to me. Would have never guessed there was so much patience and compassion in him.
But what can you say about the post 1973 output of the Rolling Stones other than mediocre? The SMALL FACES as a band were a phenomenon as inexplicable as the Beatles and the Stones. How did this happen? It will never happen again.
LOL I really don't know where comments like this come from. The Stones had a lot of great material post 73.
SALT ANK PEPPER YES AND HIMBLE PIE SEEN THE SAME NIGHT...
I would have liked to hear more from Keith Richard’s instead of the narrator over talking the whole story.
wonder his thoughts on hendrix and dylan?
Ja ,leider hat nur Keith Ritchard gute Worte für den ausnahmamusiker ...Saenger...Gitarrist...Komponist...Steve Mariott. Er war der Vorreiter für solche Bands,wie Free,CREAM,Led Zeppelin u.a.Ein großer Unterschied
war,dass Steve Mariott auch den Soul in seiner Musik zw.Rhythm and Blues,Beat-Rock und Psychedelic sowie Folk integriert hat.
Hört nur seine unvergessliche Kompositionen mit den Small Faces und Humble Pie an,bitte !!!
R I P Dear Steve Mariott.
Dein Erbe lebt weiter...durch viele Musiker für die Du ein Idol bist und
Durch Deine Tochter...

Pretty sad when he witnessed what Hendrix did for music and the Blues.
Agree with most. He's right/wrong on Marriot. Marriot was a good musician, but he was always a show-boater. Played with him few times. He'd literally overdo practically everything. Drive you nuts. Keith is cool.
Well, when he became addicted to cocaine in the mid-Seventies he became way over the top, but Marriott always gave everything he had, with passion.
I bet he still misses that Dan Armstrong guitar that was stolen.
SteveMarriotforsure
Keith looks like Gadaffi here
Elvis was so good looking, he made other good looking men look average.
I like the Beatles early and especially the middle music better than the later stuff, but there were some gems later on , but there were some real stinkers later on.
I understand to a degree but there's an element of "get off my lawn" to your assessment too. The Beatles needed to evolve naturally and to respond to whatever was turning them on at the time. Did you want them to keep playing 3 minute love/pop songs throughout their entire career? They created the template for using the studio as another integral part of their sound and that ended up with some amazing material. There was some self indulgent stuff (the White album comes to mind) but overall I would say their most interesting work was from 66 on.
@@jameshannagan4256 I admire the Beatles for the effort and in the end it worked out, despite the growing pains.
Who is Steve Marriot?
Watch the video and find out champ
PEOPLE HACE A RIGHT TO LIKE WHAT THEY LIKE, I LET THE WIFE RULE THE RADIO AND TOLERATE WHAT SHE LIKES, DON'T BE SUPRISED...
What’s most interesting about Richards’s comments is how they leave out the most obvious about the roots of blues and rock and roll: black people. I understand that he got punched by this Chuck Berry fellow.
Also, let it be known that both he and Mick Jagger had mean, undeserved, and disparaging things about black people off the cuff, like Eric Clapton. Elvis is supposed to be the greatest, yet he didn’t write any songs. He wasn’t the greatest guitarist. So what makes Elivs more than anything than a man who moves his hips with a keen eye for the girls on the small and young side?
Sure, Elvis could sing, but then a lot of people, black people, could sing. Did I mention that the “blacks” could also dance the King of Rock and Roll under the table? When it’s all stripped down, back to Richards, how much more is he than a man who plays guitar?
Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Rolling Stones for their swagger and the content of the lyrics of their songs. But, not to mention much about black people at the start revealed insecurity to me for having the misfortune of not being born black and from where I was born, which is in the Mississippi Delta. A
s for the Beatles, the early Beatles music was, for me, by far the best in terms of straightforward, well-written, raucous rock and roll. Of course, as Lennon admits, the Beatles ceased to be a band that performed rather than a group searching for something more in composing, content, and creativity, and there went the rocket fuel.
For me, this songwriting is where the Beatles came to separate themselves from the rest of the pretenders. And then there was Michael Jackson. Start your engines. Van Halen beat it solo; legendary.
I DIDNT LIKE HUMBLE PIE CAUSE MY BEROTHER LIKED THEM...
He forgot NRBQ,
I’m 1:43 into this and still haven’t heard Richards speak. Only the robot. 👎
In other interviews Keith will bang on about Muddy Waters, Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian being his heroes.
You'll never hear him recognise later talent such as Brian Eno or Paul Weller for example. He's stuck in a time bubble.
For anyone expecting to hear Keef telling us about these acts, look elsewhere. This is some nameless dude telling us what Keef thinks - with an occasional few words from The Man himself. YT is stuffed with this sort of bullsh!t misleadingly presented filler. Avoid it and give them the thumbs down.
Thumbs down. The title says it: "Keith Richards Names..." With only a few words on each, the rest of the 11 minutes are the words of the self-indulgent narrator. And with almost no clips at all of the bands mentioned--we only get a snippet of Dave Barholomew's large band--and none of the other three.
Ginger Baker did not rate the Stones at all. So over rated. Richards owes huge debt to Ry Cooder for his sound.
.
Keith Richards is one of the all time jerks of rock.
Keef is right on the money re. Sgt. Pepper's - probably the very worst Beatles LP.
You have to compare it to we're only in it for the money by the mothers.
Who cares what he thinks. Saying Zeppelin and sgt peppers was bad is all I needed to ignore the drug addicted boring guitarist.
With Richards you have to read between the lines: with Zeppelin now we know that it's nothing but a cover band with great guitar work, and with Sgt Pepper, as great as that album was and loved by the main-stream media, it's still not as phenomenal and innovative as what they did after it... That's what he meant.
He never said Led Zep was bad, he's said in loads of interviews how much he respected their musicianship and how good players they were but he just personally didn't really like the music,it never did it for him. What's wrong with that? Music is a personal thing,we don't all like the same thing.
I don't like jazz, but I certainly know how talented some Jazz musicians are.
I also know that the members of led Zep are FAR SUPERIOR musicians than The members of the Stones, BUT I prefer the music of the Stones, I don't care that Jimmy Page is a better guitarist than Keef, to my ears, I'd much rather listen to the Stones
@@GeorgeTel100what a crock of shit.
@@GeorgeTel100 Wrong whatever YOUR opinion and taste, to which you are welcome, Sgt Peppers is BY FAR their most important and IMHO their best, most creative and innovative; Richard's is just another dick like Pete Townsend. Sgt Peppers was their peak and their decline was shown in their last 2 LPs which John called 'the sound of a band dying' which indeed it was. The Beatles last creative LP was 'The White Album', the last two were just nicely produced nostalga. Sgt Pepper's CHANGED the world. COMPLETELY!
You’re correct this Bloke was worn out by 1985 who you like in music is who you like all the better musicians seem to have very respectful reserved opinions of others if you listen to Dave Gilmore or Brian May or Someone like Mark Knofler there level never listen to anyone who is to stunned by themselves
I think there is bitterness that Led Zeppelin basically upstaged the Stones and made Dinosaurs out of them. He obviously hates heavy rock/metal, but the NWOBHM swept dinosaurs like the stones away and basically turned them into a nostalgia act....
Disappointing Again and Clicked anyway.
You talk too much!!
Agree.
He is very, very stoned, almost incoherent.
