Title: Keith Richards guitar pick The Rebel Yells
Post by thomas guitar on Jul 31^st, 2010 at 8:04am

Hello,

i have some questions about Keith Richards Picks.

Are THE REBEL YELLS pick in golden letters in three lines on red from the 1981 or 1978 Tour?

And there are two others.

The same in white letters in three lines and with golden letters in two lines.

So i don´t know, which of it he uses on which tour in 1978, 1981 or 1982.

Maybe the answer is that the 2 lines in gold letters item are from the 1978 - 1979 Tour,
the 3 lines in gold item are from the American Tour 1981

Or have anybody other informations?

Don't know about that, but I'm wondering if he likes thin, Med. or hard picks, he plays rhythm quite hard, so I would imagine it's hard otherwise he'd be breaking picks like crazy.

That's one of the picks that I'd really love to own. I have two Keith picks.

One of them is red with, "Rated XXX" (in white) on one side and blank on the other side. The other one, my personal favorite pick, is white with, "Keef Riffhard" on one side and, "Five String King" on the other side (both in black)

Both of these picks are from the Voodoo Lounge Tour of '94. The pick you have is a pick that Keith used primarily during the New Barbarian's era, and right through the Tattoo You tour-'81-'82. This being the time that Keef imbibed heavily on Rebel Yell whiskey, Southern Sour Mash, don't ya know? ;) These days Keith is pretty much exclusively a vodka man. I had that exact same pick, but lost it years ago during a move.

Riffy

Almost caught one of Keith's picks at the Lausanne concert in '07. He was by the b-stage and threw it and it slipped right through my fingers. Me and about 4 other people immediately reached for the ground to get it, causing us all to bump our heads together. Never figured out what happened to it. Bummer.

They showed one of the fans holding up one of his picks in the Austin DVD. It said "Lord Richards."
