A través de su propia página web www.keithrichards.com, nuestro hombre ha abierto un canal en YouTube en el cual responde en persona a diversas preguntas que le envían los fans. Recientemente ha grabado varias respuestas a preguntas, en las cuales dice cosas realmente significativas. Sobre Led Zeppelin, por ejemplo: “Debo reconocerlo, Led Zeppelin como grupo nunca me han vuelto loco, ni he sido seguidor de sus discos, aunque sin embargo, creo que todos ellos son excelentes músicos a los que individualmente admiro. Jimmy Page es uno de los mejores guitarristas que han existido en la historia del rock, es uno de los grandes guitarristas de blues y rock, de los grandes de verdad. Jonesy es otro músico fantástico, un multiinstrumentista genial Bonham era una auténtica bestia. ¡Bonham era el plomo, lo más duro, lo más pesado del zeppelin! (n.del.r. juego de palabras sobre la pesadez del plomo. Robert Plant era uno de esos cantantes como Roger Daltrey, RodStewart o incluso Mick Jagger, una versión británica de Elvis Presley, no tanto por su voz, sino por la forma de moverse en escena, de jugar con el micrófono, de encandilar a la peña… aunque para mi, la esencia, la verdadera personalidad de Led Zeppelin es Jimmy Page. Ah, Jimmy, el chico tímido de los Olympic Studios… gran músico. Y gran tipo.”
Keith Richards admits
Through its own website www.keithrichards.com, our man has opened a YouTube channel, which responds in person to questions it receives from fans. He has recently recorded several answers to questions, which says something really significant. About Led Zeppelin, for example: "I must admit, Led Zeppelin as a group have never been mad, nor have I been a fan of their albums, but nevertheless, I think they are all excellent musicians who individually admire. Jimmy Page is one of the best guitarists that have existed in the history of rock, is one of the great blues and rock guitarists, the big truth. Jonesy is another fantastic musician, a great multi-instrumentalist Bonham was a real beast. Bonham was the lead, harder, heavier zeppelin! (N.del.r. pun on the heaviness of lead. Robert Plant was one of those singers like Roger Daltrey, Mick Jagger rodstewart or a British version of Elvis Presley, not so much his voice, but how moving on stage, playing with the microphone, dazzle the rock ... but for me, the essence, the true personality of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Ah, Jimmy, the shy boy of Olympic Studios ... great musician. And great guy. "In this series of monologues, Keith also debunks some urban legends that exist about the Stones, like the rumor that Jim Morrison was the group who suggested putting the disc were recorded in France called 'Exile On Main Street '. "Oh, shit, it's an absurd story. I never got to meet Jim in person, or he had contact only with the Stones. We were recording the album in southern France, he was in Paris, and there a few hours of road between the two extremes. And, unfortunately, died when we only took six weeks rehearsing and doing pre-production 'Exile ...'. "Other big names in rock to his memory go to questions from fans.About Freddy Mercury, "No, luckily for him did not know him! Who else I've tried is Brian May, I met him several times and we have great mutual sympathy. I've heard of the legendary Freddie Mercury parties and I would like to be somewhere, but never given the opportunity. Now it was all an artist on stage. He had real charisma. "About John Lennon: "We were great friends. I remember with great affection, was really a nice person. He had a beautiful soul, was someone generous, supportive, had a great personality and always admired him the fact that it was a free spirit. Every time I remember he is dead, and died that way so absurd and stupid, I can not sad. "From what I unfortunately get no fan has gotten no word on when it will return the Stones put out an album or a tour. And who knows, either declined to comment anything about the project "Super Heavy" by Mick Jagger.
En esta serie de monólogos, Keith también desmiente alguna de las leyendas urbanas que existen acerca de los Stones, como por ejemplo el rumor de que fue Jim Morrison quien sugirió al grupo poner al disco que estaban grabando en Francia el nombre de ‘Exile On Main Street’. “Bah, pura mierda, es una historia absurda. Yo nunca llegué a conocer en persona a Jim, ni él tuvo contacto apenas con los Stones. Nosotros estábamos grabando el disco en el sur de Francia, él estaba en París, y hay unas cuantas horas de carretera entre los dos extremos. Y además, por desgracia, murio cuando nosotros solo llevábamos seis semanas ensayando y haciendo la pre-producción de ‘Exile…’.”
Otros grandes nombres del rock acuden a su memoria a preguntas de los fans. Acerca de Freddy Mercury, “No, ¡por suerte para él no le conocí! A quién si he tratado es a Brian May, he coincidido con él varias veces y tenemos gran simpatía mutua. He oído hablar de las legendarias fiestas de Freddie Mercury y me hubiera gustado estar en alguna, pero nunca se dio la oportunidad. Ahora bien, era todo un artista en el escenario. Tenía auténtico carisma.”
Sobre John Lennon: “Fuimos grandes amigos. Le recuerdo con gran cariño, era realmente una bella persona. Tenía un alma hermosa, era alguien generoso, solidario, tenía una gran personalidad y siempre admiré de él el hecho de que era un espíritu libre. Cada vez que recuerdo que ha muerto, y que murió de esa forma tan absurda y estúpida, no puedo evitar entristecerme.”
De lo que por desgracia, ningún fan ha conseguido sacarle ni una palabra es sobre cuando volverán los Stones a sacar un disco o a hacer una gira. Y que se sepa, tampoco ha querido comentar nada sobre el proyecto “Super Heavy” de Mick Jagger.
