Rolling Stone will publish an exclusive excerpt from Keith Richard’s long awaited memoir Life on October 15, eleven days before the eagerly anticipated book hits stores on October 26. The 10,000 word excerpt will cover the early days of the Rolling Stones, Keith’s trip to Tangiers in 1967 where he stole Anita Pallenberg from bandmate Brian Jones and tales of excess from the Stones’ infamous 1972 U.S. tour. "You can’t imagine that this book could be any better than it is," says Rolling Stone Managing Editor Will Dana. "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. Outside of Bob Dylan’s Chronicles, it’s probably the best rock memoir ever written." Richards, who will appear on the cover of the magazine, also spoke with Rolling Stone’s David Fricke about the book and the Stones’ upcoming plans, strongly hinting that the band will be active in 2011.

In spite of all the marketing language in there - you see a bit more of it every day. Soon, we'll all be using it for everything - I actually believe this would be one of the best & most interesting autobiographies - you see dozens more of those everyday. Soon, we'll all have one - ever written.

However, I won't buy it, because it can never be as good it should be. Keith is a fuckin' legend. But when legends are fully exposed, however interesting, they always lose something. Now, a FILM, that I'd see, since all films always have some fiction & "creative liberties" to keep you glued to the screen.

He shouldn't have. Not Keith. It should've been written by a third party & published after his death. Though I suppose that means it would never exist.

Cheers! :bottle:

Can there really be that much about Keith that we don't know?

Oh hell yeah, I'll buy the book, just to read Keith's own take on shit. But I don't expect there will be any big secrets that weren't in all the other books written about the Stones

I have read a number of books over the years about the Stones and Keef himself . This should be a most interesting read though I'm sure a lot of it has been published here and there before - there are literally hundreds of books about the Stones . I'm gonna read Keefs book regardless . He's the epitome of rockstar sloppy/kool .

Picked up "Stones Touring Party" by Robert Greenfield during the summer, a good read IMO...

Hmmm I wonder wot Keef remembers at this point...
We were recording in the countryside and did some coke, smoked some heroin, we met some birds and ah, yeah man, ask Charlie.
