Keith Richards says: ‘The Rolling Stones will stick around until we die' Keith Richards says: ‘The Rolling Stones will stick around until we die'Guitarist says the Stones still want to make their best album  GETTY
The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has vowed the band will continue until their death, saying it’s what the best bands do.
The guitarist also said the band are still hoping to release their best music, 52 years after their self-titled debut album was released in 1964. Asked how the Stones had lasted so long, Richards told Radio Times: “They’re not really bands if they don’t last; they’re groups. We’re a band and a real band sticks until it dies. These bands, they become big, but they’re generational, just for their one decade. They literally go when their testosterone goes.” Richards continued: “We work hard and no-one takes it for granted. We’re still looking to make our best record and put on our best show. The Stones have managed to be part of life, without becoming passé. Also, what else are you going to do? You never grow up, you just learn a little more. I ain’t getting old, I’m evolving.” In the same interview, Richards criticised The Beatles, saying “they were never quite there” as a live band. Speaking to promote his BBC2 documentary Keith Richards: The Origin Of The Species shown this Saturday (July 23), Richards recalled the last moments of his mother Doris, who died aged 93 in 2007. Richards said of Doris’ final words: “She said ‘Why me, Keith?’ and I said ‘You’re 93, mum.’ That was the best line I could come up with. And she said ‘This morphine’s not bad, you know?’ And those were her last words to me.”

Mother Morphine???  Oh well, we are talking about the man who snorted the ashes of his father like cocaine, so what can surprise us about Keef any more? I'll tell you what: if the Stones really do make a good new album. I liked Bigger Bang, though and he is right about the Beatles of course. | |

sure they will! i mean what else can they do?!?! I mean Keith's solo career is a complete bust and his solo album shit the bed... He still needs to milk the stones for all that he can! [Edited 7/25/16 14:52pm] | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Pretty sure Keith doesn't have to milk anything he doesn't want to anymore
Edit: Not that Mick set a high standard or anything. But Talk is Cheap is a good rekkid. [Edited 7/25/16 15:10pm] | |

. But he's a rock head, so he'll continue on. Haven't heard the last solo record yet, but imo you are pretty far off the mark with saying his solo career was a complete bust. Most Stones fans I know hold Talk is Cheap in higher regard than any Mick solo effort.Talk Is Cheap has Bootsy and Maceo and the late great Bernie Worrell on it, what more do you want? | |

I like Talk is Cheap better than any Stones record. So what if he snorted his father's ashes. Maybe that was in his dad's will. | |

If that is your cirteria for what constitutes a good album, your right to listen to music should be revoked. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. |

I guess by that logic, Justin Bieber's My World is better than Lovesexy. Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain. |
