Keith Richards - 'Talk is Cheap' in conversation with Steven Van Zandt - Part 3

[@donnafrangona7590]

I love Keith Richards. I don't know him personally but I think he is a cool guy.

[@toddflowers8052]

Thanks Keith for awakening we Americans to ours blues roots again back in the day !

[@brianwilson3952]

@ I think the 80s gave the 60s a run for its money. Although I was listening to everything as a teenager. But I think the 80s had far more different genres(at least upto about 88.)

[@joeywho534]

It’s amazing that their complete and total adulation of American music would lead them to become the genuine article.

[@fifermcgee5971]

The Brits respected the colored musicians in America. The Beatles performed in Hamburg with Little Richard. How do you think they became acquainted to Billy Preston? Billy was 16 years old and playing in Little Richards band.

[@briancook5838]

Keith Richards . . . High Priest of All this World’s Guitar Slingers . . . LONG LIVE KEEF !

Keith is like an encyclopedia of music history.

[@susyboop2705]

I love this great man. Such a humble and beautiful person. Long life for him. God bless him.

[@Logoned]

Keith Richards, what a class act. Thank you guys for bringing American music roots back to America. I believe what makes the Stones the greatest rock band there will ever be is, the Stones never abandoned the blues and rock n roll roots that made rock the international dialect of the language of music.

[@canadianroot]

You get the feeling that you're in the room, almost part of the conversation. That was a joy to listen to.

[@wildman1153]

Really love hearing Keith get interviewed by one of the most knowledgable musician/rock historians, the inimitable Little Steven. I could listen to these two talk music all day. Good inside stuff for us fellow pickers...thanks very much.

[@rossbremner5125]

I was gonna write pretty much the same comment. It's also the way it's just 2 old mates having a chinwag over a drink or 2. So natural but informative

Keith is a true history book in music. Great interview by Miami Steve van Zandt😎

[@NilsamNY]

Keith Richards has never forgot where he came from. Zero pretense - 100% humility. Brilliant brain, amazing recall. Listening to this interview is a deep tutorial about the real soul and history of rock. And major props to Steven for his interview style: laying back and never interrupting or calling attention to himself. Keith and Steven are kindred souls and it's a privilege to listen to them together

[@NevadaBoss]

Many reasons why Keef is one of the coolest dudes ever..but none more so than the fact that he always has, and still does, tip his hat to the great black artists upon whom his success was based. A good man, top to bottom.And at 75, he's only getting started...

[@steveconn]

They were introducing black artists like Howlin' Wolf to play on white tv in 1965 (well it was more Brian's idea) while the Beatles were watering-down their black influences.

[@Logoned]

steve conn The Beatles like many other bands lost their heads in the psychedelic years, the Stones forged ahead through it.

[@larrydrozd2740]

@@Logoned Her satanic majesty request??? The stones always followed the beatles. Thats not an insult to the stones either....everybody did.The beatles, UNLIKE many other bands...perfected psychedelic music, they set the bar.....and then moved on.

[@kevinsbott]

You are so right, fantastic comments. We must admit that Angus Young is exactly the same way. When he talks about who inspired him, it always goes back to the Blackman’s blues.

[@Logoned]

@@larrydrozd2740 George Martin did most of pshyc stuff you heard on the Beatles albums, McCartney did She's Leaving. Sometimes I think none of the Beatles were 100% on board with all of that. My point (opinion) is the Beatles abandoned their blues roots after that psychedelic era, I don't even think they were as heavy into the blues as the Stones were to begin with.

[@zmm454]

Great to see that interview! 2 great musicians together no journalists! Just what we want us musicians and lovers of the music 🤘

[@suziemills2201]

I loved the old blues music since I was 14 and I was considered weird because I loved that music so much . I’m 72 and get goose bumps when I hear Muddy Waters , jimmy Reed , Little Walter and of course Chuck Berry and on and on

[@draug7966]

I`m 40 and i have also loved the blues since 13-14, my dad had this great bb king lp "lucille talks back" that i listened to out of curiosity and completely fell in love with it. Love a bunch of metal stuff too but i´ll always have a soft spot for the blues and of course the stones.

[@Logoned]

suzie mills Exactly like I said before the music was there it never left, just depends on how you got to it. I remember buying BB King albums which were stolen out of my locker in HSchool. My friends parents were turning us on to old 45's and 78's of all these guys and women of the blues. It just wasn't cool till people like the Stones made it cool.

[@markmanders1959]

This is outstanding and Keith is the heart and soul of the Stones. Note the wear and tear on his hands from years of creating magic on his guitar(s). AND the skull ring is gone!!!!

Fascinating conversation, I have listened and loved the Rolling Stones since I was 16 now 75 Keith an amazing guitarist and song writer, now Steve Van Zandt is newish to me since watching Lilyhammer and no idea he was also in Sopranos never mind playing in bands and also singer song writer and also connections with Bruce Springsteen so I been checking out what an amazing and comical man love both these musicians / film stars ❤️❤️

[@Randyrocker1]

I was in charge of my High School's Friday Night Club Dances, a student from England brought me a Rolling Stones LP their very first. No one had heard of them yet, so during the middle of the Friday Night Club Dance, I started playing a few of the tracks on the album, and they were fantastic, but the crowd had wanted their bobby sox songs to be played, such as Fabian, Bobby Rydell, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Vee, and many other Bobbys, their taste was fixed, so my goose was cooked when the math teacher overseeing the event as one of the evening monitors, came up to where I was playing records and told me, I was basically fired, never to play records again for the High School dances. I was shocked, at their reaction, knowing that what I had played for them by the Rolling Stones, was better than all the nonsense the Bobby's were selling. So that was it, I became a Rolling Stones fan for life from that moment on. Later in 1966, I had a chance to meet the Stones, and have enjoyed their music ever since. The math teacher will forever have had to live with the fact, that he let go of someone who was the first to introduced him and the rest of the students, to the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World. As for me I still get my kicks from "Route 66". Keith you're a treasure.

[@REDMAN298]

"...Perhaps that's why Keith can't be killed by conventional weapons" (Dell Preston, WayneStock Stage Manager)

[@MURUR1025]

Does Keith know the early and mid 60s American Garage Bands? It's not clear? Did he ever listen to the Little Phil and the Night Shadows, Larry and the Blue Notes etc.?

[@lastrada52]

It's amazing -- Van Zandt says he never heard of any of the big blues singers or their songs. So, I guess Steven never listened to Elvis Presley's "Elvis Is Back," album which was loaded with vintage blues. Or any of the other blues sprinkles through Elvis' records. "That's Alright Mama," "One Night," "Baby What Do You Want Me To Do," "Tiger Man" (was really a reworked Muddy Waters' "Rollin' & Tumblin'"), "Reconsider Baby," "Like a Baby," "A Mess of Blues," "So Glad Your Mine," "I Got a Woman," "Money Honey," "Milk Cow Blues Boogie," "Baby Let's Play House," "Good Rockin' Tonight," "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," "My Baby Left Me," "Such a Night," "I Feel So Bad," "It's a Long Lonely Highway," & "What'd I Say?" So who's at fault, Stevie? Elvis would've introduced you to the blues if you were listening...he would've introduced you almost 8 years before The Stones. The Stones, The Animals, John Mayall, and later Cream "introduced" kids to the blues because before that -- they simply weren't listening. But it was there with Elvis from the start -- and you could've gone back to the originals from there. Back to the originals the way Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, & Eric Burdon did. But they were listening to Fabian, Pat Boone, and multiple Bobby's.

[@lonniethompson3731]

Like how Steve says,we thought you guys invented it

[@SRFDriver]

I know exactly what Keith meant when he said all of that stuff was at the "end" of the dial--I'm sure he meant the "Low End" of the AM radio dial, down around 89 and 90 on the dial. That's where I found it. I used to lay in my bed at night in Northern VA listening to black artists on AM radio stations out of New York. I kept the volume down low and the radio under my covers to keep my mother from coming in and yelling for me to "turn off that "N...." music! So I was completely prepared when the Stones and Yardbirds showed up in about 1965. I blew the Beatles off completely in favor of the Stones.

My Aunt and Uncle used to have Seeburg Jukes in upstate NY. That's where I learned Rock n Roll and Country Music from. Ironically, it was thru Chuck Berry on Chess where different Blues guys were introduced and Little Richard on Specialty. My Uncle liked country music, where I picked up Dobro stuff from. But white people played those songs because the way I got the records, was by them being all worn out. My uncle said this guy for guitar, Chuck Berry and Little Richard ... don't play Little Richard when your father's around, when your mother's around it's ok, but not too loud :p

[@willowedwards3055]

Stephen, you are a great interviewer. I don't know of any American presenter/host who could illicit the thoughts and feelings of the guest (Keef) without the annoying, verbal interruptions so common in these types of scenarios. Too often the host will barge into a guests response with some quip which only they feel is pertinent. Then the guest loses the magical conclusion they were about to divulge to a young and learning guitar player who might be listening. Not with you, brother. If I was a Broadcast Professor I would use you as an example to follow.

Guess What Keith? When I was a lit tle girl, my mom and dad and my sister would always go to hither hills in Montauk. We'd go every single summer for 2 weeks which was aloud then, and only like $12 every week. Then It went up to $22 a week and you could only stay one week. Then we were already in our teens and my parents let me bring 5 of my girlfriends with me and my sister brought some of hers friends to. We camped in a green tent. The partys on the beach at night were fun. But the showers back then were Ice Cold showers.. When I got older with one of my best girlfriends who is still my best girlfriend I was in her wedding, years later, that dissolved, We hitched to Whites Dept. Store on old Montauk Highway. One of you guys from the band was in town, I think so...You know when your going down the hill from Amaganst to Montauk, that highest House building, that's my Dads friends home..Its illegal 4 storys high, He was in Articetect Disgest on the front cover Nicky Zielzeilis..and Arlene, I was friends with Nicole and Chris their two children...Oh my hands are like yours veiny, I was also born in December but on the 19th 1961 at 2:06 pm..I'm a Notary Public in the state of New Jersey Now..I do feet detoxing with a machine, and I also an inventor. and a Promoter of this Miss Janie Kovaly

[@andzwe]

I more and more wonder if the British Invasion (and someone like Elvis before that) would've been that successful or would've happened at all, if the originators of Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll had gotten the credits and attention they deserved, right from the start, in the US. Even to this day Van Zandt claims there weren't any bands to listen to at the time and he thought the Brits invented that kind of music, while Richards tells what it was really like. Musicians like Miles Davis and later on Jimi Hendrix also had to travel to Europe first to become successful and be fully respected.

[@RollingOrmond]

The Stones credited all their blues covers and introduced white audiences to guys like Howlin' Wolf by putting him on tv. Alot better than Zep that just raped blues and folk musicians without credit until they got sued.
