Ten Thousand Motels WYMAN AMAZED BY RICHARDS' STONES OBSESSION

ROLLING STONES guitarist KEITH RICHARDS is so obsessed with the band's music - he watches recordings of their concerts only hours after performing.

Richards' former bandmate BILL WYMAN was stunned by the rocker's dedication.

Wyman says, "I was never one hundred per cent focused on the band like Keith is.

"That's all he ever thinks about. All he does. The only music he ever plays.

"When the Stones do a live show, he tapes it and spends the whole night and the next morning playing it at full blast in his hotel room, disturbing all the guests.

"I was never like that. I'd go to bed and visit a local museum the next morning."

Doxa "When the Stones do a live show, he tapes it and spends the whole night and the next morning playing it at full blast in his hotel room, disturbing all the guests."

"Disturbing all the guests"? I suppose Bill is referring to the elite and all the hangers-on socializing in their suites after the concerts. So sad that one is so pro musician that he is dedicating his energy and attention to reflecting his own art and performance, and thereby disturbing those nice social gatherings...

I wonder if Keith is still doing that? That Bill doesn't know anymore..

corgi37 1st off, Keith cant be that obsessed with the Stones. No new cd in 8 years!!!!

Bill going to a museum? Er, is that before or after school hours?

I guess Wyman's attitude is why Keith is a Rock God, and Bill is known as "that small guy that never moved, and always made funny, smirky faces at Charlie in film clips".

Gazza Obsessed with the music of a great band you've created or obsessed with fossils and coin collecting....

Which one of the above 'obsessions' do YOU find it more amazing that any remotely interesting person would care so much about?

That's probably how he picked 'em up.
"psst hey wanna go the museum with me in the morning. Some real cool fossils and artifacts over there."

or...
"hey, wanna come up to my hotel room and I'll show you my new metal detector."

gimmekeef Bill had to get to bed early..because the girl he was with had to get up for school the next morning....
April 15th, 2005 08:04 PM
kath actually, that was his wife who had to get up early to go to school......the girl he was with was a couple years older.....

texile Maybe Wyman likes Museums because alot shcools have field trips there?>>>
that's fucking funny.
wyman isn't, never was - a real musician.........
the stones were a job.
and why is it surprising that wyman would be bitchy?
April 17th, 2005 03:24 PM
CraigP Bill seemed like the shy introverted bassist and not much more. I do like his contribution to their sound and I like him better, musically, than Darryl Jones. His riffage was very colorful.
