Keith Richards: Self
Quotes
-
Keith Richards, Himself : [backstage] Wild Horses is probably the - one of the best collaborations between Mick and me. We were doing overdubs at Mick's house in the country and I just - for some reason, I remember leaving the studio, that the smell and damp English - and then I had to drive like 200 miles or something - and I was just cruising all the way; but, I remember, for some reason, I remember that leaving that session, you know. I was still like, wow.

Interviewer : [backstage] There's a lot of references to drugs in the album. I just wondered if...
Keith Richards, Himself : Did you notice that? Yeah.

Keith Richards, Himself : There's pretty much soaked in any drug you can think of - the whole album.
[laughs]
Keith Richards, Himself : Especially, as far as I'm concerned.

Keith Richards, Himself : [backstage] "Sister Morphine" and "Moonlight Mile," for instance, we've very really have played on stage. And that's kind of eery, in a way; because, in a way you're suddenly back in the studio in 1970.
[laughs]

Keith Richards, Himself : [backstage] Very, very professional, working Bobby Keys. You have to be in this game. But, the minute work was finished -
[laughs]
Keith Richards, Himself : that was another story. That guy could relax quicker than anybody I knew.

Keith Richards, Himself : [backstage] Yeah, that song, great horn parts. Anyway, Jim Price and Bobby - their best. A good rocker.
Mick Jagger, Himself : [onstage - singing "Bitch"] I'm never so tired, I can't understand it, Just had a fortnight's sleep, I'm feeling so stoned, I'm so distracted, Ain't touched a thing all week, Yeah, I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy, Ain't touched a thing all night, I'm feeling hungry, Can't see the reason, Just eat a horse meat pie, Yeah, Yeah, That's a Bitch, Come on! Yeah when you call my name, I salivate like a Pavlov dog...
-
Keith Richards, Himself : [backstage - talking about "I Got The Blues"] That is probably the slowest song we ever recorded. At first, I was - this is very slow, then, Mick was looking at me, too, thinking the same thing, I know. As we got into it, it was one of the charms of it - is that slowness; because, it builds up so nice. And once again, great horn parts. And, I'm really interested in that one.
-
Keith Richards, Himself : [backstage - talking about "Brown Sugar"] It was amazing. An amazing track to cut. It was one of those sessions where you felt that maybe you'd cut the ultimate rock-n-roll song, you know. I mean, which is always - you never do. But, that, it had that - that enthusiasm about.

Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot...
