guitar/rock legend Keith Richards proves why he is the epitome of a rock star ..i mean the guys from spinal tap couldnt possibly top this:

Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

PHILISTINE!!!

The historic Philistines (Hebrew פְּלְשְׁתִּים, plishtim ) (see "other uses" below) were a people who invaded the southern coast of Canaan around the time of the arrival of the Israelites, their territory being named Philistia in later contexts. Their origin has been debated among scholars, but modern archaeology has suggested early cultural links with the Mycenean world in mainland Greece. Though the Philistines adopted local Canaanite culture and language before leaving any written texts, an Indo-European origin has been suggested for a handful of known Philistine words (See Philistine language). There is basis to the claim that the etymology of this word can be based on the Semitic word plishah (פְּלִישָׁה, meaning invasion). The Hebrew literally translates to "Invader from the West".

I never did like Keith Richards. But, you have to respect a guy that will snort his father's remains.
 
What? Is this guy on drugs? Oh nevermind.. :P
 
A smug, ignorant, especially middle-class person who is regarded as being indifferent or antagonistic to artistic and cultural values.

The Stones are like a parody the Beatles, I don't see how anyone could like them.

That's blasphemy. A parody? Are you insane?? The Beatles were a popband but the Stones made rock music (intentional past tense btw).
 
what was that video clip where Keith Richards nails a guy with his guitar. It was funny
 
omg they're not that at all ..listen to their early stuff they were the bad boy answer to the beatles ..mothers loved the beatles with their boyish good looks but they loathed the stones ... the stones were just down and dirty rock and roll with a lifestyle to match ..keith richards to this day has as much influence as chuck berry did ..without the stones blues/roots rock wouldnt exist

anyways listen to Exiles on Mainstreet, goat head's soup, some girls ..the list goes on and on

I'm a big stones fan but I purposefully ignore everything after 1978 ..best era: 1969 to 1976, when they truely were the best rock and roll band in the world ..they're almost as much an influence as the beatles but more so in terms of rock culture than pop culture ..although mick and the boys were part of that great artistic period in new york circa mid seventies when artists like andy warhol and jackson pollack rubbed elbows with the stones and also dabbled with artistic cinema

The Beatles' songs were art. The Stones' songs are just meaningless drivel, with a few exceptions, I did like "Paint it Black" and "Sympathy for the Devil", but that's out of several hundreds of songs I've heard by them. They should've stopped 30 years ago, now they're just making fools out of themselves.

no man it's not meaningless drivel ...sister morphine, street fighting man, gimme shelter, mother's little helper, let it bleed, Stray Cat Blues, wild horses, midnight rambler, it's only rock and roll, etc etc etc

they should have stopped after Tattoo you
 
He was also quoted as saying, "I can't believe anybody actually took me seriously" when asked about that quote, since people seriously believed he snorted his cremated father.

Quoted because nobody read it.
 
because it's not certain whether it's true or just a retraction for the sake of positive PR... however the person who did the interview believes it to be true:

The story's impact clearly took The Rolling Stones camp by surprise, with Richards manager Jane Rose trying to play down the story, claiming it was "said in jest", while his UK spokesman not only struggled with the story but today's date suggesting: "It was an off-the-cuff remark... file under April Fool's joke".

However as NME's Mark Beaumont, who conducted the interview, explained, the comment was no quip, but came about about after much thinking on the guitarist's behalf.

"He didn't offer the information, I had to ask him a couple of questions to get the information out of him," said the writer. "He didn't come straight out with that."

The media love to run with stories without actually making sure its true. Long story short, its not true.

ummm did you read the post above yours? the media took their info from the guy who did the interview ..he thinks Richards was being truthful ..until I see valid proof I tend to believe him

btw I absolutely hate it when people dismiss something solely on the basis of "it's from the media, of course it's biased" ..sorry but ad hominem attacks are not enough

Now seriously, the fact you ACTUALLY believe it makes you as gullible as the rest of the people that think the magazines sold in the check out lane of wal-mart are good sources of information.
 
Well seeing as a few newspapers are already printing retractions, i tend to dismiss it easily.
 
His dad's spirit is going to possess Keith and he'll find where his dad put that ticket for a candy shopping spree. Kieth will attempt to build a ladder to heaven, but will discover the ticket in a box before its done.
 
This reminds me of South Park. I still can't get over that episode...
 
That reminds me of that Wedding Belles show that was on Channel 4 a week ago. One of the crackhead females snorted the remains of someone's dog by mistake.

what's not to believe? the person who did the interview said he asked him repeatedly and that Richards had to think long and hard before he gave a reply ..doesnt sound like he was joking ..so unless I hear Richards himself say it was a joke I'll take it at face value ...this is Keith Richards we're talking about ..I'm a huge fan but even I'm not blind to the fact he snorted half of Columbia and something like this would be keeping in character to the Richards persona

When you say heard himself, do you mean him walk up to you personally, or him report it to the media. Because if it's the latter, he DID say what I've already quoted....

I understand he did a shit ton of drugs, but I would believe it was a joke...shit..why the hell would you admit to THAT of all things?

well to be fair HE didnt say it:

The manager for the 63 year old Rolling Stone, Jane Rose, came forward on Wednesday and revealed to MTV, "He has said he was joking"

here's the full transcript of the interview:

http://www.nme.com/news/the-rolling-stones/27531


again I admit it could be false but really we only have his word to go by ..but stranger things have happened:


* While on tour with M?tley Cr?e, [Ozzy] Osbourne (according to Mick Mars, their guitarist) got into a cocaine snorting contest with their bassist Nikki Sixx. He then proceeded to snort a line of ants from an anthill nearby.

rofl.

I guess after Ants you could do anything.

Now Richards has issued a statement, which says the story was "lost in translation".

"I wouldn't take cocaine at this point in my life unless I wished to commit suicide," he said.

"The truth of the matter is that I planted a sturdy English Oak.

"I took the lid off the box of ashes and he [Richards' father] is now growing oak trees and would love me for it!"

Meh. If he had to think before he said it, then couldn't he have been, um, making it up?
 
but why? would you make up something so outlandish?

read the interview ..he sounds like he's being honest on every question asked

anyways I dont even know why I'm defending him ..I have long admired him so you'd think I'd try my best to disprove this
 
i agree with stern, partly because it's weird, but not THAT weird, cokeheads do shit like that, and rockers too. i mean he's not some random dude, he's ****ing keith richards

Damnit Stern, know your loyalties! They are WITH Richards, no other. ARE WE CLEAR?!
 
exactly ..when the Toxic twins (Steven Tyler, Joe perry of areosmith fame) said "we snorted all of Peru." you might not actually believe they snorted all of peru (citizens and all) up their noses but you sure as hell know they tried
