About this product

Product Information

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.

Reviews
You can't imagine that this book could be any better than it is...Keith holds nothing back. It's funny, gossipy, profane and moving and by the time you finish it you feel like you're friends with Keith Richards., What kind of celebrity autobiography is his Life ? A remarkable one. One that reveals Mr. Richards in far greater depth and detail than any fan of the Rolling Stones or rock music could have hoped for...Mr. Richards writes with disarming introspection about his childhood, family and fame. And it's quite likely that no rock musician has ever written so keenly about the joys of making music. With a warm sense of humor and willingness to share his grief, Mr. Richards in Life defies almost every public perception about him., "Richards' authorial voice is evident on almost every page and, like his singing one, it is both an entertaining and an ever-wandering instrument....he not only has the best tunes, he also knows how to tell the best tales."-- Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly, [Richards] is funny, sharp, and insightful....the book is an important addition to the canon of rock lit, chronicling not just the life of an iconic musician and a seminal band but a significant slice of the golden age of rock., " Life , a firsthand journey from wartime London through the wilder parts of the 1960s and 1970s and beyond, could as easily be filed among the works of Richards' friend William Burroughs as alongside the memoirs of Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton.... It's the rare rock memoir with recipes (for bangers, English sausages), guidelines on street brawling (flash the knife as a decoy, then kick your enemy where it hurts) and staying awake for days.... Life is like the ultimate Keith Richards album."-- Hillel Italie, Associated Press, Entertaining...a slurry romp through the life of a man who knew every pleasure, denied himself nothing, and never paid the price., The twinkle from Keith Richards's eye throughout his autobiography Life is as distinctive as his famous guitar riffs in 'Jumpin' Jack Flash.', Compelling, endearing, insightful, action-packed, graceful, generous-spirited, unflinching, and funny... Life distinguishes itself as a singularly entertaining and intelligent kind of music book. With the help, undoubtedly, of Fox in unearthing decades-old memory-jarring diaries and letters, it works as a lively you-are-there account of one man living through a socially and culturally transformative time....I could go on and on with the anecdotes and incidents from Life , but space doesn't allow. Suffice it to say that if you're reading it in a room with somebody else who cares about rock-and-roll, you'll want to read something out loud every page and a half or so. I can't remember ever enjoying a music memoir as much., [A] fast-paced, pull-no-punches autobiography... Richards is at his best when digging into the reasons he plays music, and how he creates it., Compelling, endearing, insightful, action-packed, graceful, generous-spirited, unflinching, and funny...Lifedistinguishes itself as a singularly entertaining and intelligent kind of music book. With the help, undoubtedly, of Fox in unearthing decades-old memory-jarring diaries and letters, it works as a lively you-are-there account of one man living through a socially and culturally transformative time....I could go on and on with the anecdotes and incidents fromLife, but space doesn't allow. Suffice it to say that if you're reading it in a room with somebody else who cares about rock-and-roll, you'll want to read something out loud every page and a half or so. I can't remember ever enjoying a music memoir as much., Why does Keith want to undercut his legend? Because he has much better stories to tell. And inLife, the 547-page memoir he wrote with James Fox, he serves them up like his guitar riffs--in your face, nasty, confrontational, rich, smart, and, in the end, unforgettable....His story slows as it approaches the present, and you start to wonder if this Peter Pan life can get to its end without real pain....But mostly, you wish you could go back to the beginning of Life and start again., "By turns earnest and wicked, sweet and sarcastic and unsparing, Mr. Richards, now 66, writes with uncommon candor and immediacy....He gives us an indelible, time-capsule feel for the madness that was life on the road with the Stones in the years before and after Altamont; harrowing accounts of his many close shaves and narrow escapes (from the police, prison time, drug hell); and a heap of sharp-edged snapshots of friends and colleagues...But Life ...is way more than a revealing showbiz memoir. It is also a high-def, high-velocity portrait of the era when rock 'n' roll came of age, a raw report from deep inside the counterculture maelstrom of how that music swept like a tsunami over Britain and the United States. It's an eye-opening all-nighter in the studio with a master craftsman disclosing the alchemical secrets of his art. And it's the intimate and moving story of one man's long strange trip over the decades, told in dead-on, visceral prose without any of the pretense, caution or self-consciousness that usually attend great artists sitting for their self-portraits....Mr. Richards has found a way to channel to the reader his own avidity, his own deep soul hunger for music and to make us feel the connections that bind one generation of musicians to another. Along the way he even manages to communicate something of that magic, electromagnetic experience of playing on stage with his mates, be it in a little club or a huge stadium."-- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times, "You can't imagine that this book could be any better than it is...Keith holds nothing back. It's funny, gossipy, profane and moving and by the time you finish it you feel like you're friends with Keith Richards."-- Will Dana, Rolling Stone, "As the legendary guitarist for the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards has done more, been more and seen more than you or I will ever dream of, and reading his autobiography, Life , should awaken (if you have a pulse and an I.Q. north of 100) a little bit of the rock star in you.... Music is at the core of Life , as it is at the core of Keith.... Believe me, you won't want to miss a thing. The most impressive part of Life is the wealth of knowledge Keith shares, whether he's telling you how to layer an acoustic guitar until it sounds electric, as he did on the classic Stones track "Street Fighting Man," or how to win a knife fight.

    Greatest rock and roll guitar player ever

    Very well-written and insightful. It tells you a lot about him and his philosophy, and helps you understand why the Stones are still touring after 50 years!

  • A must read for Stoens fans, but not a gem.

    I have been an avid Rolling Stones fan for over 30 years now. When I first heard that Keith was going to write a a "tell all" as the ultimate insider, I was excited. Somehow, my "LIFE" got in the way when it was first publised, and I got too busy to purchase and read the book until last month. The first thing I can say, as someone with a degree in English, is that this is no literary masterpiece, and at times I find the straighforward simplistic writing style almost a totally distracting lack of style. But it is Keith telling us his story as only Keith could. There are riviting passages and details, boldly frank discussions of rumors and events that spare no detail. And yet, as a physicisn that has had to deal with too many men Keith's age ravaged by over 40 years ...

  • Life As Keith Knows It

    Everything that is told in "Life" is so vivid and rich in details it seems that it came straight from a personal diary, (as if Keith is really the type of guy who is concerned about writing his daily adventures on a notebook). The book is divided into three major parts: first is about early life in east of London, adolescence and the development of taste for music until the foundation of The Rolling Stones, heavily influenced by Blues and Jazz; second (and the darkest) was about life on the road after their take-off to stardom, tense relationships with his band mates and Anita (first wife), drug abuse, personal struggles (including the loss of a son) and occasional problems with authorities, and third and last back to music and life in recent years, covering what seems to be ...

  • A review of Keith Richards "Life" By Justin Anderson

    This is the must have book about Keith Richards. Nothing short of straight from the source the living guitar legend himself. Covering from his days as a young English lad, to the crazed drug and boozed induced days of the 70's. Richards serves up never before heard tales of run-ins with custom agents in Hawaii. Plus the heroin hell that became his life. Including a confession that he introduced 'Papa' John Pillips to the drug by accident. Also the softer side of Richards life. Including his days spent as a grandfather, and his near fatal fall from a palm tree. A few drawl backs are that for near 70 years of this most fascinating life 538 pages do not seem to do this justice. It feels as if it were rushed, and if the proper time was put into writing, this book would not be ...

  • Everything you always wanted to know about Keef but didn't know who to believe.

    Keef goes back to the beginning to tell about his roots and the start of the band. I've always been a big Stones fan but I learned a lot here. He dispels many myths and tells fantastic stories. He doesn't hold back on the criticisms either. A fascinating read. Highly recommended to any Stones fan.
