El otro día ya comentamos algunos consejos sobre drogas que le dio a [...]

Si hay algo que tenemos clarísimo es que tanto Pete Doherty como Amy Winehouse tiene un gravísimo problema con las drogas. De hecho hace un tiempo se los pudo ver a ambos en un video donde, al menos según aseguraban los medios, ambos estaban drogados jugando con unos ratones . Otra cosa que es sabida ya de años es que dejar esta adicción es una de las cosas más complicadas de hacer y no muchos pueden lograrlo sin un mentor o alguien que realmente esté detrás suyo para ayudarlos. Esta vez el que [...]

Amy Winehouse e Pete Doherty hanno ricevuto consigli su come affrontare le dipendenze dalle droge pesanti da uno dei massimi esperti mondiali: Keith Richards. Il chitarrista dei Rolling Stones giura di vedere similitudini fra i suoi problemi e quelli dei due giovani artisti, e dichiara su NME: «Amy Winehouse e Pete si drogano per gli stessi motivi che lo facevamo noi. Tutto quello che direi è di drogarsi nel tempo libero, se è quello che si vuole fare, ma senza mischiare diversi tipi di droga. Ho parlato con Pete ma senza ottenere risultati. Se le mischiate [...]

Filed under: News With his long-awaited biography, 'Life,' just days away from publication, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has been dropping some tantalising hints of what to expect -- and the book contains more than just Richards' love of the open G tuning.

He said, "The [...]

Filed under: Around the World It's easy to guess what bonded Keith Richards with the deep-roots Rastafarians of rural Jamaica years ago. Right. The Scottish hymns. Hearing those old tunes must have gone right to his British heart when he started hanging out around the beaches of Ochos Rios. "The old Wesleyan hymns recast as Rastafarian tunes, with 'Jah' substituted for 'God,'" notes reggae historian Roger Steffens . "These are country [...]

"People say 'why don't you give it up?' I don't think they quite understand. I'm not doing it just for the money, or for you. I'm doing it for me." - Keith Richards . Something tells me he'd be doing this no matter what. Coming soon to a bookstore near you...

20. "Wild Horses" (1971, from Sticky Fingers ) Recorded in Muscle Shoals in December of 1969 while on the triumphant U.S. tour that cemented their "greatest rock and roll band in the world" status, "Wild Horses" is a classic Jagger-Richards collaboration, with Keith providing the chorus and riff and Mick providing the verses. It's a perfect pop song, managing to drain the cliche out of a cliche and providing sentiment without ever curdling into the maudlin. The Stones may not be often thought of as making beautiful music, but [...]

Original Wingless Angels release 1997 In 1997 perhaps the most interesting album directly associated with Keith Richards since the mid-70's was released. Wingless Angels was recorded in Jamaica by Richards with vocalist Justin Hinds and a group of fellow rasta from the Ocho Rios area. Richards has spent much time in Jamaica since the early 70's, and early on discovered the magic of the Nyabinghi style of reggae - an especially spiritual, rootsy sound dominated by hand played drums and vocals. (Perhaps the most well known of the Nyabinghi school being [...]
