Keith Richards Libri

Con i Rolling Stones, Keith Richards ha creato canzoni che hanno scosso il mondo intero, vivendo in puro stile rock'n'roll. Ora, finalmente, è lui stesso a raccontare la storia di una vita scampata a un uragano di fuochi incrociati. L'ascolto ossessivo dei dischi di Chuck Berry e Muddy Waters, lo studio della chitarra e la nascita della band, fondata insieme a Mick Jagger e Brian Jones. L'iniziale successo dei Rolling Stones e i famigerati arresti per possesso di stupefacenti, che ne hanno consacrato l'immagine duratura di eroe popolare e fuorilegge. L'invenzione di riff immortali come quelli di Jumpin' Jack Flash e Honky Tonk Women. L'amore per Anita Pallenberg e la morte di Brian Jones. L'espatrio in Francia per motivi fiscali, i tour incendiari negli Stati Uniti, l'isolamento e la tossicodipendenza. Il nuovo amore per Patti Hansen. L'amaro allontanamento da Jagger e la successiva riconciliazione. Il matrimonio, la famiglia, gli album solisti e gli X-Pensive Winos, e la strada che non finisce mai. Con la disarmante onestà che è il suo marchio di fabbrica, Keith Richards ci consegna la storia di una vita che tutti avremmo voluto conoscere meglio, sfrenata, impavida e autentica. In Life, in his own raw, fierce voice, the man himself tells about life lived fast and hard in the creative hurricane--from his early days as a young boy growing up in a council estate, listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, to taking the guitar to its absolute limit and joining forces with Mick Jagger to form The Rolling Stones. With unflinching honesty, he reveals all the highs and lows of rock 'n' roll, from the meteoric rise to fame and the notorious drug busts to the women, drinking, and heroin addiction that made him infamous. The living legend chronicles how he created the revolutionary, high-octane riffs that defined "Gimme Shelter" and "Honky Tonk Woman," his affair with the equally infamous Anita Pallenberg (the mother of three of his children), and the tragic death of Brian Jones. From falling in love with Patti Hansen to his tumultuous relationship with Mick, we follow Keef on the ultimate road trip we have all longed to know more about--of an unfettered, fearless, on-the-edge life lived to the fullest.

King, Neil Young, Pete Townshend, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, and Dick Dale, and two CDs featuring over 120 tracks that make terms and topics come alive.

Here, accompanied by dozens of unique photographs, are the very best of Victor Bockris's infamous interviews, essays, and observations on the stars of downtown Manhattan in the 1970s and 1980s. The internationally acclaimed biographer Bockris was there as a witness, friend, collaborator, and co-conspirator. Some of the stars were founding members of Beat or Punk, others were just passing through. But all of them—rockers, rebels, artists, and intellectuals—revealed more to Bockris than they did to any other writer: Allen Ginsberg, Richard Hell, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Debbie Harry, William Burroughs, Patti Smith, Marianne Faithfull, Keith Richards, Terry Southern, Martin Amis, and Susan Sontag. Bockris's conclusion—that Punk owed the Beats a big debt and that the Beats were in turn re-animated by the Punks—is argued from the perspective of someone who was in the thick of it, and who loved every minute of it.
