Life

The long-awaited autobiography of Keith Richards, guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones.

With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.

Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever.

With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.

Fantastic!! Hours of entertainment!

I don't understand all of the stupid rants about Joe Hurley!! He did a fantastic job narrating his part of the book. I thought his character voices were great, and he wasn't monotone like Johnny Depp. Depp was a great narrator, but Hurley sounded more like Keith Richard's would, so it pulled me into it more than Depp's voice did. I loved the chapters about Richards finding his open G tuning style, and hearing about his crazy experience working with Chuck Berry! Great book!!!

Excellent!

Loved it!! Great storytelling from Keith Richards and awesome narration by Johnny Depp and the man himself. Touched.

Authorized editions on rock are @ a premium. fz

Keith deals w/ his life & music. No dirt or mud here. Truly a gentleman.

I want to share this with everyone in the world

the history of music..... . the world would
not be the same without Keith Richards I remember as a kid probably 10 listening to Tumbling Dice never having known all the things this man had already been through you owe it yourself as a musician to read this..... you owe this to yourself as a person to read this.

Well it was..

Guy is a horrible drug looser most the book. Stories like nodding off while driving with a 6 year old. The first half was boring as shit. The French stuff was mildly interesting, that's the Exile period. Last 4 hours not worth a damn. But the boys love this book.
