Artist: Keith Richards

Rolling Stones guitarist and pirate of the Caribbean Keith Richards probably hasn't pushed his bony pelvis through the Dartford Central Library's turnstile in decades, but, in a recent interview to plug the Stones' post-post-post-post-re-farewel l tour "50 and Counting," the 69-year-old admitted to owing his hometown bibliotheca an "astronomical" amount in late fees from books he forgot to return "about 50 years ago." The wizard mathematicians at the Mirror calculated that, at 15 pounds a day with interest, Richards probably owes the library somewhere in the neighborhood of £3,000 (approximately $4,526). "For fines going back 50 years [...]

Mick Jagger y Katy Perry juntos en Las Vegas. Sumándose a la lista de invitados que han tenido los Rolling Stones a lo largo de su gira 50 & Counting  (como Tom Waits y Gwen Stefani ), Katy Perry subió al escenario la noche del sábado para interpretar "Beast Of Burden". Durante el concierto que los ingleses dieron en el MGM Grand Garden Arena de Las Vegas , la cantante acompañó a Mick Jagger , Keith Richards , Ron Wood [...]

Here's a very decent 1992 doc about the mysterious Robert Johnson . No original Johnson recordings are used, but narrator John Hammond does a good job in his renditions. "Honeyboy" Edwards and Johnny Shines also appear, as well as Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. Thanks to T. Tex Edwards for this one.

There've been many awesome Stooges-related things that have come out of the last week or so, not least the band's new album (which is actually quite good ) and their killer performance at New York's Le Poisson Rouge. But perhaps most awesome all is the photo that's been making the rounds of Iggy clutching two kids in junior versions of his trademark sequined jeans. They look terrified, he looks delighted, and the whole thing is many kinds of awesome. So, in a similar [...]

After 12 years of Christmas albums, American songbooks and countless cover records, it's finally Time   for Rod Stewart to release some original material. And it's exactly what you'd expect an album from a 68 year old man to be, albeit with a little more polish. Over the last 10 years or so, Stewart has made it abundantly clear that his days in rock 'n' roll days are over. Bowing out before the leather jacket and eyeliner became laughable allowed him to corner the [...]

Tom Waits y The Rolling Stones en vivo ayer por la noche. Anoche, The Rolling Stones tocaron en Oakland como parte de su gira norteamericana. Para la canción "Little Red Rooster” (original de Sam Crooke ), sus satánicas majestades tuvieron a un invitado de lujo, Tom Waits  (quien rara vez se presenta en vivo). El músico y cantante aporta su muy particular voz y le da un toque aún más cantinero. Waits ya se había juntado con la banda inglesa en 1987 para grabar la canción "Harlem Shuffle" del álbum Dirty Work [...]

Like most fans, we were hoping the Rolling Stones would pull out some deep cuts as they convened to celebrate five decades of debauched rock. What we got, however, was "Emotional Rescue" - a song they'd apparently never before performed in concert. There's a reason for that. Like the other songs on this excruciating list of musical misdeeds, "Emotional Rescue" [...]

When the Rolling Stones performed "Emotional Rescue" in concert the other night - apparently for the first time ever - it got us to thinking about other train-wreck moments the band might consider resurrecting. Not that we're advocating this stuff. It was just, after contemplating that sad turn of events, these five most-dreaded Rolling Stones songs got stuck in our [...]

The guitar legend has admitted he's not a fan of digital sound...

Photo icon gives us the backstory on a few of his famous shots.

The second night of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival [Photos, Setlist and Videos From Night One HERE ] already had a jam-packed lineup of six-stringers ready to go, but that didn't stop EC from bringing out a surprise guest during his show-closing set. Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones emerged with Clapton for Key To The Highway and Sweet Little Rock and Roller. Later in Clapton's set, he brought out Robbie Robertson and Andy Fairweather-Low before welcoming most of the weekend's guests for a finale. Here's video [...]

This year marks the 25th anniversary of venerable indie-label Sub Pop . The Seattle-based record label helped defined the sound of the Pacific Northwest in the late '80s/early '90s putting our records from the likes Mudhoney, Soundgarden, TAD and Nirvana. Over the last decade, the label that was once known almost exclusively as the home to grunge, has reinvented itself bringing us critically acclaimed albums from the likes of Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Band of Horses, Iron & Wine, The Head & The Heart and Flight Of The Conchords.

At Heathrow Terminal 5 earlier this morning, someone was awaiting to give the KEITH RICHARDS a ride.

Filed under: Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation Hulton Archive Did you know that Neil Young has only ever won two Grammy Awards ? In 2009 he scored Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package for that Neil Young Archives Vol. I (1963-1972) box set, then a year later he won Best Rock Song for "Angry World." We'll let that sink in a bit. [...]

Mick Jagger Keith Richard Charlie Watts Ronnie Wood The Stones 50 Years of Music In a Nusthell The longest performing rock band of all time, the Rolling Stones have greatly influenced rock and roll throughout the decades. Beginning as part of the British Rock Invasion of the 1960s, the Rolling Stones quickly became the “bad-boy” band with an image of sex, drugs, and wild behavior. Yet there’s another side to it, [...]

Those familiar with the first Rogue’s Gallery issued back in 2006 might approach news of a follow-up collection, Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys , with a mixture of delight and apprehension. This curious enterprise, the brainchild of Pirates of the Caribbean team - specifically, Johnny Depp, director Gore Verbinski, and producer Hal Willner - brings the light of day to largely traditional songs of the sea that otherwise might have remained in Davy Jones’ locker. The performers lend a whole new meaning to that familiar title, Various Artists, as the [...]
