Keith Richards
07.07.2012
Član legendarnih The Rolling Stonesa, rođen 1943 godine u Engleskoj, poznati glazbenik, gitarista, tekstopisac i aranžer.
Glazbeni stilovi su mu slijedeći:Rock, blues, blues rock, rhythm and blues, rock and roll. Napisao legendarni svjetski hit "Satisfaction" (I can't get no, Satisfaction). Uvodna solo dionica tog hita bila je noćna mora klinaca koji su pokušavali to "odsvirati" na svojim "veslima" od gitara šezdesetim godinama. Taj uvodni solo, svi ga znaju zvuči ovako:
Naravno, ovako se to učilo, no u ono vrijeme samo po sluhu, nije bilo Youtube-a.
Ovako su to izveli Rolling Stonesi u originalnoj izvedbi:
Prvu gitaru, majka mu je kupila 1955 godine, te on uči svirati na njoj stvari Billie Holidaya, Louisa Armstronga, Duke Elingtona i drugih uglavnom Jazz izvedbi.
Najpoznatiji autorski radovi Keitha Richardsa su svakako "Jumping Jack Flash", "Brown Sugar, "Paint it Black" i mnoge druge danas popularne stvari.
Ovako je Keith izgledao 1965 godine:
a ovako 1972 godine
Kasnije se Richards odao drogi i alkoholu, pa jedno vrijeme nije ni nastupao. Ti poroci su ga 1994 gotovo stajali života pa je malo "popustio". No, nikad se nije posve odrekao alkohola.
Najveći autorski i izvođački uspjesi Keitha Richardsa su svakako muz Satisfaction, Jumpin' Jack Flash,
!993 godine našao se na listi Songwriters Hall of Fame, kao tekstopisac, dok kao gitarist nije ušao u tu skupinu.
