| | This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | Keith Richards (born 18 December 1943 in Dartford, Kent) is an English guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of British musical group The Rolling Stones. He has penned with bandmate Mick Jagger many number 1 hits from 1965 to the early 80s. Though he plays many lead guitar parts, he is celbrated for his innovative rhythm guitar.
Richards' musical career has been characterized by a reliance on collaboration and his long association with the Rolling Stones. In addition to his relatively few solo releases, Richards has appeared as a guest on recordings of other artists.
Richards - who has over 1000 guitars, some of which he has not played but was simply given - is often associated with the Fender Telecaster, though lately his favourite guitar appears to be an ebony Gibson ES-355. It is often hard to detect by ear what guitar he plays, and he has pointed out that he manages to make them all sound the same. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" Richards recorded the first top ten hit tp feature a guitar fuzz effect which has since become commonplace. Though in the 1970s and early 80s he used guitar effects frequently, since then he has rarely used effects. Richards considers the acoustic guitar as the basis for his playing, and many Stones hits including "Street Fighting Man", "Satisfaction", and "Brown Sugar" feature acoustic guitar parts.
Richards' backing vocals appear on every Rolling Stones album. From 1969's "Let It Bleed", Stone's releases often contained a Richards lead vocal, and since 1978's "Some Girls" each release has had a Richards lead vocal. He has also contributed occasional bass, keyboard, and slide guitar. Richards has always been active in record production for the Stones and for himself, often in tandem with Mick Jagger and outside producers.
To the general public, Richards is perhaps better known for his drug-related outlaw image than for his songwriting contributions. |
