- The Rolling Stones went on their first European tour in the spring of 1965 (Odense Denmark 26 March, Copenhagen Denmark 28 & 30 March, Gothenburg Sweden 31 March, Stockholm Sweden 1 & 2 April). This interview was broadcast in the national radio. Keith choose the song "Pain in my heart" to be played after the interview.
Fascinating. Keith speaks very fast in this interview. Sounds very bright as well. _This_ is the guy that wrote Satisfaction.
This was before the heroin, of course he is bright and fresh here. Watch the interview on the old grey whistle test 9 years later and you wouldn't recognize him.
It's really sad what happened to Keith, but I'll give him this...he's lucky to have made it through what he has been through. As we see he's very bright and he speaks very fast here and also quite shy, but I kind of get the impression he looked for a challenge.
He still sounds very bright, it's just that his habits and age have had a lifetime's of effect upon his vocal chords and voice. Habits, or not, this happens to mostly anyone over the course of a long lifetime.
Wasn’t he into speed then
*@SFloridaMike* ..... Yeah.....somewhat speedy..... These guys probably had to use amphetamines to keep up with this continuous round the world gruelling schedule. Which was very hard on Brian Jones. While the other guys adjusted to it like fish to water.
Weird to hear a young clear Keith voice who didn't laugh before any sentences
Or cough during them...
Or growl between two words..😂
Keith's speaking voice here was very soft-spoken, a little shy and a 1/4 octave higher than the raspy baritone it became.
You can see he's a little insecure and shy, and impatient with the questions. Very matter of fact. Drugs obviously helped relax his anxieties and gave him an identity or persona he could hide behind. He's so innocent here, though a little "hard."
Their early 60s recordings are so good!💜
He is so clear, straight to the point and talks very fast. Sad to see how it all changed just a few years later...
Oh dang
He looks so handsome in the picture though 😍😍😍
Does your dad own a brewery?
He sure does. I even have that same exact image saved onto my phone.
Sigh..... 💕💕💕
@@natalienordine6906 Sorry for the late reply, he looks lovely doesn't he ♥️ I think its from either 64 or 66 but there's a photo of the Stones getting bouquets from fans at JFK airport when they came to America. Keith is so adorable when he looks at the bouquet, he looks so sweet and happy ♥️♥️
@@lilmissrockchick4962 Mabey I should try and find the picture one day.
I know he looks like a baby here. He looks about 17 but he’s actually 20.
Keith always gave credit where credit was due, and still does. He's a stand up guy.
*@ T* Is that so ? Not to dump on this great guy , but Jagger & Richards (apart from a few "Nanker&Phelge" credits) never gave co-writing credits to fellow band members. Wyman once tried to bring up the issue, but Watts and Jones got cold feet.
While Richards later went on and on about " *T H E* *B A N D* "......
What a beautiful natural voice Keith has got! How did he not get more involved in singing from the get go I wonder? And this is the clearer and more at ease I have heard him talk so far, from that era. Very articulate and cool, utterly fascinating.
Fascinating. Keith sounds driven, focused. 21 years old and now writing songs with his mate. A lot was about to happen.
20 actually since his birthday is in December! He does look about 17 in this picture
His voice was adorable
He sounds so much better then
That's the voice of the sober Essex Keith Richards. What we've heard the most in some interviews was the voice of the stoned Australian Keith Richards.
Dartford, Kent.
Crazy... Keith sounded so different back then. Young, obviously... but much more English, before he adopted the Gram Parsons-esque Southern inflection.
+TheHelloWaterface his accent used to sound much more similar to Mick's
thats whats cigarettes do.
TheHelloWaterface smoking cigarettes 24/7 like Keith Richards does a toll on your voice
TheHelloWaterface I wouldn't say he ever adopted a southern accent though
He adopted more of a pharmaceutically engineered 'transatlantic drawl‘.
Clearer voice which is not interfered by his smoked lungs also a young cleared mind that makes a fluent speaker. Barely recognizable Keith. Cool.
he sounds so shy in those early interviews
*Interviewer* : _Asks a question_
*Keith* : _gives an answer_
_pause..._
_rinse and repeat_
I kind of got the impression the interviewer was irritating Keith a bit. After the interviewer said something about the Stones' image as being a 'scruffy group', if you listen closely you can hear Keith mumble something as if he felt a bit embarrassed by the question. Also, I heard Keith was pretty shy so that's why he had to repeat answers, because the interviewer couldn't hear him
Also the questions about the Beatles...🙄 (I like the Beatles but I feel just asking the Stones about the Beatles makes them feel quite uncomfortable)
Funny you mention Keith being irritated - there's an interview somewhere on YT of Keith threatening to punch the interviewer over something he wrote about him in either the Swedish or the Norwegian press. It's later on in his life and it's hilarious 😂 I thought this was it but evidently not. If I find it I'll come back and post the link, its a good laugh.
Keith's voice has altered through the years. This is a very rare interview and its interesting to hear him in 65...he was still shy.... a few years later his voice sounded much more a part of the cultured London society from hanging around with the elite....then in the 70s he sounded international and spoke slowly....and from the 80s onwards he's managed to find a wheezy cackle to bookend almost everything he says
I love Keith Richards' voice so much 🥰
0:19 The way he said 'folk music' 😍
High,this is Keef!
Keith before the heroin, and the alcohol, and the grass. Keith before he became in love with fame. Yes this is for real.
Never been in love with the fame.
Keith's still for real.
Keith's said part of the reason he got into the stuff was to escape the fame
shy boy...
Before he started hiding his real self from the public, which is what they all HAVE to do. Do you think Paul McCartney gives a thumbs up when someone makes him a cup of tea at home? Or mick Jagger walks like a rooster??
Mick & Keith had very similar voice mannerisms then. Mick's more & less stayed the same while Keith's changed over time.
Changed for the better tho he has a great singing voice now
They would av the same voice manarismm their both from the same gaff Dagenham
Calm and clear, a good speaking voice.
Keith definitely sounds like a typical Londoner in this interview and different from his later speaking voice. Pretty clear speaking and to the point.
Keith’s voice sounds so lubed here rather than his old leather belt voice
All of The Rolling Stones seem to have generally similiar taste in music. They love black artist and buy their records. The are all like The Beatles but seem competitive towards them. Of all the interviews Keith seems the sharpest.
Nice to hear young Keith speaking. His voice is quite different from now. According to his outings seems to me a driven, sincere and strong personality. The song has a bit of "Time is on my side".
Nice to hear Keith's introspection on his inspirations in '65, and his 'ef you attitude is clearly present. Love this rare interview, and a great choice of song.
Bought the EP after I saw the photo cover of the EP sitting on a tube (underground train) going from Mornington crescent to Archway coming home from school, 1965, Pain in my heart good but I loved Their version of Around and Arounnd, The EP was called "five by five" it had three other tracks Michigan avenue avenue good as well
Thank you for posting this!! Never heard it before. It's so great!!
Keith likes Sweden a LOT.
I think he was prob. referring to the girls. LOL A LOT!!
You look pretty good
wow I thought this recording was slowed down but actually Keith's voice had a lower pitch than the one we are used to hear. drugs and booze had a strong effect to it.
This is really interesting. To hear KR talking at length in an interview in the mid 60s is quite unusual - as far as I know. I thought he was quite restrained as well given such incredibly silly and quite lazy questions like, 'do you think you are a scruffy group?' keith could have just as easily lived up to this 'journalists' worst fears.
Wow, what a difference. Pre heroin interview
I was going to mention how fast Keith talks, then read all the comments and they are about the same thing!
My thoughts. Keith sounding exactly like you'd expect a working class lad to sound who grew up on the fringe of London re: Dartford. It's known now as "Estuary English". In contrast to Brian Jones' very middle class accent of the period. Not sure about Mick's "Well alright" nasal English. Keith was by all accounts quite shy in his youth and perhaps fame and attention did not sit well with him to begin with. Hence some irritation here. 55 years later, fame, booze, cigs, living in America, and mixing with all types...has shaped his accent and that "laugh" is perhaps a hangover from the early shyness. I would put good money on him being the most changed living Stone or ex-Stone in personality. Charlie and Bill largely the same, Mick T too, Ronnie an extension of his early self...and Mick (so they say) having several personalities to suit the occasion.
Sounds more like Keith Emerson then Keith Richards -

You can clearly hear this isn’t Keith! I know life changes your voice but I’ve never heard a voice change that much and I’ve met people who have done a hell of a lot more bad living
@@dondamon4669 that really is him. Both his voice and personality have changed dramatically over the last 55 years.
@@dondamon4669 It is him. There are other interviews around the same period with an identical voice but on video so you can see that the man speaking is one and the same
Before he became the pharmacist.
so polite!
Keith,
he spoke faster and did not give incontinent laughter
Before chain smoking shredded his voice and drugs fried his brain.
When you say drugs I’m hoping your meaning drink the drug? As that’s the drug that shreds you
@@dondamon4669 No, ALL drugs fuck your head
Keith’s brain isn’t fried. He reads continually. He has a huge library in his house in Connecticut.
What a slang
pre-dope accent.
I'm used to hearing Keith talking old with that rough hoarse voice. Sonds like another person here. Seems that he wants the interview to finish as soon as possible.
So THIS is what Keith sounds like sans-drugs
C’mon! Why would there be a fake interview of Keith Richards??? Get real! Get off the crack pipe!
Very british accent before, now soo american accent :)
is this for real?
Andrew Barns yes
Yes it is for real.
He sounds like Liam Gallagher.
No, not at all. Keith has got a southern England working-class accent (or had then, very distinctively). Gallagher is from northern England (Manchester). Very different accents, though both of them are lower class, but I guess it's hard for non-Brits to distinguish.
@@wayinfront1 True, if english...poles apart in sound
Lol how can they sound the same ? 😂😂
@@dondamon4669 The voice
@@mckinleylowman6412 I see what you mean, Keith and Liam both have a bit if a mumbly voice
This guy should look for a job ASAP. I don't see any future for him in music
Surely he's either a Man of Kent, or a Kentish Man, not from Essex!
Kentish Man
What an awful communicator. He really blossomed on dope socially. He’s so anxious. Shy people enjoy H socially, it helps them relax and is a shield. Course dangerous for the shy as it kills.
That is never Keith.
frank philipp that is Keith
If u hear a interview in 68 u clearly recognize his voice.
that is keith richards... his voice was a lot different in 1965 than it was in 1968. In between those years he had smoked tones of cigarettes and done a lot of drugs.
ok ok
It is you know! That is how he was before 1968.
