Life

De: Keith Richards, James Fox

Narrado por: Johnny Depp, Joe Hurley, Keith Richards

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.

Great Book, Bizarre Narration.

This is a good book, but 3 narrators in one book (even good ones) is a bit of a bust for me.

Johnny Depp does a (pretty) good job at giving you the feel of Keith's way of speaking, and just as you're falling into it they switch it to Joe Hurley. Joe also does a good job but it takes a bit to readjust to his way of narrating Keith. Then Keith himself makes an appearance in the narration as well.

It makes you wonder what the story behind the scenes was on the different narrators.

But the book is great. I really liked seeing the Stone's through Keith's eyes and the adventures/misadventures of his life.

fantastic story. fantastic narration.

I can't wait to listen to it again! What a life! [and I can listen to Johnny Depp all day long]

A firsthand look into Rockstar life

I feel that this account and stories are, even though in Keith's words (and who can write about themselves without some bias), give an accurate picture of his life and snapshots of The Stones career. I liked both narrators and Keith's words as well. It had good, bad and ugly. A great tale and worth the time.

Great Rock Story!

Well told chronicles from the lead guitarist of one of the world's greatest Rock Bands!

Keith Richards is SO much more than a rock icon!

I chose this book because I remembered hearing Keith talk about music. I was fascinated by what he said, so I figured the book would probably have some more interesting tidbits. I had no idea I was going to be learning about such a completely fascinating person! I have a huge new respect for both the man and the music! I can't recommend this book enough!
