"Nobody's trying to impress anyone or get fucking famous, just trying to make a damn good record." This is a large part of why people love Keith.

If anyone saw the Stones Exhibitionism tour full of rare items from their career it had replicas of these tiny diaries Keith kept during their club days, notating their progress, what keys were off, etc. A surprisingly meticulous mind from the beginning.

Great interview! Steve knows how to listen, respond to what Keith is saying and move on to new questions. If Steve were a journalist that would be a highly developed skill. Here it's as organic as the music on 'Talk is Cheap'. Keith liked that.

[@arlingtonhynes]

This cat influenced soooo many guys in the industry. Not only from his playing , but, from his style and just plain coolness. His influence is seen through 70's bands and into the 80's hair bands. The shag was it.

[@benbaird2129]

Whoever the administrator is for this, kudos. I've been in a dark place, for a while. Keith, and Stevie VZ, really hut my soul the right way this AM. Non sequitur, Start Me Up, is up there in Zeppelin territory, for Guitar, drummer, interplay. If not above Zeppelin. Bonzo, and Charlie set the stage, for every drummer, I've ever not been annoyed with. In fact, I've always found myself excited, when the drummer, understood my body language, and metaphors. Continuing to praddle. Keith, Page, and some others, but really those two men, really programmed me as a musician, in my insatiable need for slinky riffs, based on the guitar, drummer relationship.

[@benbaird2129]

There is one thing you can always say about the Stones. These guys honestly loved black music. None of that hair band crap. And Keith was intrested in simply making good music. Sonny Rollins recently said if you are serious about a music career one needs to stop thinking so much about stardom and money and simply go out and play.

[@billidgylab9083]

I bought this album when it came out, on, get this Vynil. The the first time I listen to it I liked it a lot by about the third time spinning that record it just hit me that record was Dynamite. It's actually one of my favorites. And really what it showed me is that in the Rolling Stones he runs the Rhythm Section and it's one of the best parts of this band. Essentially the heartbeat of The Rolling Stones is Keith Richards and deservedly so. For those audiophiles out there I do believe that this album may be available as a master recording on 180 g r a m vinyl which will essentially put you in the recording studio sound-wise. He's an outstanding musician who's Joy is to bring joy to others. I find him highly intellectual well beyond the scope of the stage persona. Steve thank you for doing this for all of us also thank you Keith.

[@benbaird2129]

Stevie VZ. I can't tell you how much I agree, or how vital that sound is. You spkit the nial down the middle. I was listening to Let it Bleed, I think, on vinyl, and it really hit me one night. I love the Stones so much, because, their greatest tunes, sound like a band in the room with you playing it. The living room, as you said, in my office at thw time, etc. I don't know that someone that isn't a musician, can understand how incredibly beautiful that sound is. KISS discovered, this firsthand, when Eddie Kramer produced alive. Simply, my opinion, but all of the music from rock n roll's beginning, to today, that will stand the test of time, is exact that way. Without feeling the human interaction, between the players, produced music, doesn't last. Whether it's K pop, rap, C and W, it's always one defining characteristic, that encourages, the embryo, of timelessness, the human factor. Knowing in those grooves, or on that file, is a piece of someone's be it one, or a group, soul.
