I don't really think it is in anyway close to being BLOOD, at this point. Anyone care to guess? Is he the ONLY rock & roll Zombie in existence, or just an entirely different Species altogether?

My feelings are that when Mick Taylor was lead guitar.. They were at their best.

Part of 1969 controversial doc.... Rolling Stones at Tragic Altamont Concert. S.F...Unbelievable shots

Stupendous Vintage performances throughout doc..

This piece was played in Madison Square Garden before they traveled to S.F.

But seriously, Keith Richards has long been running 'vampire' joke around these parts, we love him (in an odd sort of way). I once heard a story (no idea if it's true, can't be bothered to check wiki's opinion) that he had to have his BLOOD changed out (procedurally, of course) every week or two. Didn't quite believe that one, but it was an entertaining story nonetheless.

Happy Birthday Keith, looking forward to seeing you for number 1,720!

The fact that Keith Richards is still alive is just amazing. Very few people have lived as suicidally as he does and have managed to survive to a ripe old age.
