GOSSIP:
|
- According to an interview with the British music magazine NME, Richards claims to have snorted a mixture of his father's cremated ashes and cocaine. (April 4, 2007)
- Is portrayed by Alexander Scheer in DAS WILDE LEBEN (2007).
- Nickname: Keef / The Human Riff
- Guitarist for The 'Rolling Stones'
- Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 (as a member of the Rolling Stones).
- Was ordered to play a series of benefit concerts for the blind after a widely publicized drug arrest in Toronto in 1977. For these shows he assembled a band called The New Barbarians which included himself, fellow Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood, Stones saxophonist Bobby Keys, jazz bassist Stanley Clarke and Meters drummer Ziggy Modeliste. The Rolling Stones wound up playing the dates, as well.
- Was a close friend of country legend Gram Parsons and has referenced to his early death due to drug abuse in one of the songs he's written for the Stones; Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine/Well it's another goodbye to another good friend (Before They Make Me Run, from 1978's Some Girls). He also played two tribute gigs to Parsons alongside Norah Jones and others in the summer of 2004.
- Was voted the 10th greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine.
- According to himself, he wrote the Rolling Stones' biggest hit (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 'while sleeping'. He has stated that he went to bed with a tape recorder on the bedside table, and when he woke up the the tape was full with mumbling and half-singing, mixed up some snoring. True or false as this may be, it is widely thought that he did write the music and the legendary chorus by himself (Jagger likely only contributing the verse lyrics).
- Johnny Depp has said that the character of Capt. Jack Sparrow in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is mostly based on Keith Richards, including his voice, his mannerisms, his personality, and aspects of his appearance.
- Accompanies Aretha Frankin on guitar in the theme song of the same titled movie JUMPIN'JACK FLASH (1986) a remake of his own hit of the 60s with the Rolling Stones, which he also composed. Earlier in the film, the original song appears as well.
- In the 1970's, he was once awake for nine days straight (with the assistance of various drugs). When he finally fell asleep, while standing up, he fell face-down into an amplifier, breaking his nose.
- Stole former Stones member Brian Jones' girlfriend Anita Pallenberg during a vacation in Morocco in the late '60s. Keith and Anita's love affair was no short crush, however, seeing as how they stayed together for roughly ten years and had two children (although one of them died just three weeks after birth).
- Has worn a skull ring on the third finger of his right hand since the early 1970's, reminding himself that we are all the same beneath the surface.
- Same birthday as Brad Pitt, Casper Van Dien and Steven Spielberg.
