Keith Richards – The Interview You’ve Never Seen Before – Restored From 1988

For me, every Keith interview is important. His kind won’t be seen again in a century.

This is great!

What a cool dude.

excellent

I could listen to Keef all day long.🙏

"There's air, there's food, there's mum and dad and there's the Rolling Stones."
Out of context, that quote could look arrogant, but it actually shows a very humble guy reflecting on his place in the world.

Love Keef.

Didn’t like his comment that he didn’t like Led Zeppelin, but mainly the singers he thought all copied each other. Robert, Rodger, Rod, Mick….

This was great, time just flew by. I especially like the footage after the formal interview was over and they’re just chatting

Lost most of his accent

Seems like a good bloke on top of being one the best players and songwriters going.

Treasure ❤

"children teach you things about life that you'd forgotten".
Beautiful sentiment Mr.Richards.

If i was native blood Clarksdale would 🌀 be on my atlas, north star....
Orion told Andromeda a secret she 🧪 couldn't keep.

generally fun. wonder if he had met his wife earlier does he wish he married sooner

He's been through 1000s of these things, but he's still articulate, thoughtful & full of insight -- with zero bullshit.

I was with Keith until he started praising Nelson Mandela. Just look at South Africa now. Are you really going to say that racial separation isn't a good thing? Come on now.

Keith. Always the real deal.

Noriega..Hey,some dodgy company.🤣

I've long thought he's highly intelligent. It's possible that music has contributed to being lateral in his thinking. His lyrics show his genuine emotions. And he's always answered questions very honestly. There's no bullshit here because he doesn't like fakeness.

I saw this years ago...

Wow, great stuff. Keith was on his best behavior for once, not having Mick around to pick up the pieces ;-)

A very smooth operator and a living legend.

Obviously a well read,mannered and lucid rock idol.

He’s thoughtful, candid and experienced

"Cool as fuck". That is what Keith should have on his tombstone, when he will finally pass away in the 23rd century

This is a great time capsule not only for Keith, but the politics of the time. His lines about performing, and not only recording, apply today in 2024. He is still a performer.
If you can? Do it.
One thing he has never been in spite of his money and fame is full of crap.
He has always been a real deal rock n' roller, and doesn't take BS from anybody, including the interviewer. The Expensive Winos were a good band, hence this promo interview.
Unlike many rock stars, he was not " full of himself ".
I'm getting ready to do gigs again because there is nothing like live performances.
This interview inspired me, as I've performed for decades, and still can.
Thank you for posting this.

This interviewer is such an idiotic fool

I gotta know what camera/film was used for this. The colors are beautiful, and the fidelity is incredible for 1988.

So fkn cool lol

Disappointing interviewer. Obsessed with drugs and lifestyle.

The man! Bona fide musical songwriting genius. Decent guy with a firm grasp on Reality as much as can be expected for someone in his situation. Rock On!

People who underestimate Keith are just repeating cliches and not really paying attention to his intellect and the wisdom he has gathered over the years. Some think he is celebrated because he has taken drugs and partied a lot but most of us just appreciate that he does what he wants to do , whether that happens to be partying or whatever. He's made his own rules and he has gotten away with it.

Just Great.

Keith must definitely be related to deceased actor Jeff Conway.

Before the Rolling Stones, and particularly him, became boring and repetitive.

Thank you for this gem!

What kind of drugs would you recommend for a young sane person is the stupidest question I've ever heard asked by an interviewer in my life. You deserved the look Keith gave you after answering the question. Absolutely ridiculous and amateurish.

Such a wise man at 44. He had already been through so much at that stage of his life. Very intelligent.
He has always been cool, and I’ve always liked him.

The greatest Keef barnet ❤

Intelligent and insightful. Keith is great.

Not sure who this guy is. But it's apparent he is doing some weird impression of the Jack Sparrow character from the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies. My advice to this Keith fellow would be this: Don't be a poseur because you want to appear cool to others. Find your own identity and be yourself. Be genuine. That will make you truly "cool" regardless of what others may think.

I love the candid moments at the end when they are shooting B roll and Keith and the interviewer are just having a conversation and he asks him to do a prompt and Keith is so humble and accommodating. This is why people love Keith so much, salt of the earth that man.

It’s ironic that he’s considered the poster boy, cliche rock star because he’s actually one of the most thoughtful, kind and intelligent of all rock musicians.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼

keith doesn't really blink, and when he does its really slow
