ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

TIME TO HOIST THE JOLLY ROGER!!!

Sebastian Kruger needs to update his work.

That is saying something... :wtf1

No one makes a finer pirate. Gorgeous costume.

Keith looks good! Sounds like he had fun too.

I'll admit it, I love the Pirates of Caribbean movies. I'm ready for a new edition.

Very cool :areyoufuckingserious :wtf1

If it's more Keith, I might actually watch one of these series for once. :boringp;0

Nah, I'll just stick to Youtube.

The costume is unbelievable! ;D Almost looks like something you could have found in The King's Road in '67 or so... ;)

Durn....he DOES make the most perfect, authentic looking pirate. 8-)

" And the guitar players look damaged; they've been outcasts all their lives"

Yeah, that's so. But....the clothes really bring it on home! ;D

Now grow a real mustache and go on the road again!!

Elaborate costume. I wonder how many scenes KEEF has in the new movie. The last movie he was barely in it, I hope they gave him a bigger role this time!

Was the skin disease strictly necessary?

Patti looks STUNNING. :) Love the pic of her and Keith pointing... 8-)

Keith's two movies have probably grossed 10,000 times more than all Jagger's movies put together.

Mick is probably furious. Maybe he should cameo in the next Transformers, or Paranormal Activity 3.

And Keith at Disneyland.... man, thats a head spin!

Keef and Patti look great! Depp of course, always looks great. I've been a fan of his since he was Officer Tom Hanson on 21 Jumpstreet. It's funny how I get older looking and he hasn't aged in 25 years!

Dudes got touring teeth.

Fantastic pictures left shoe shuffle, didn't realize they were already posted when I changed the header, I got a big zip file from moy too, probably some will be posted twice but they are already uploaded so here we go...

Thanks left shoe shuffle and moy

Really great pics, Keith looks really good.

Johnny, don't drop your drawers around Keith.

Keefs looking Happy.

Just hope he's feeling real well...

Keith and Patty look great.
Happy, healthy and well rested.
Thanks for the pics!!!!

WHERE THE HELL WAS PENELOPE CRUZ?

Whoever (I suspect Patti) selected Keith's wardrobe knew what they were doing. PERFECT color palette for him at this stage of life. This has been a year of seeing each Stone looking genuinely happy, healthy and content.

Agreed. Everyone looks marvelous! Boy, the cameras were really whirring that night!!! :o ;D

glad to see the green shoes are gone....KR looks well as does Patti

Great pics. Patti looks amazing. :willya

‘Pirates’ 4: Keith Richards ‘still shocked’ to work for Disney

After decades of dark excess, Keith Richards seems wildly out of place at family-friendly Disneyland, but on Saturday, there he was, a rock ‘n’ roll exile on Main Street USA. “No one is more surprised by all of it than me,” the Rolling Stones guitarist said with a wink. “I never expected to work for the Disney organization for a while. I’m still shocked, but, hey, it’s all good fun.”

Richards first got on board for a cameo in the 2007 film ”Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End“ – he played the scoundrel father, Capt. William Teague, to a scoundrel son, Capt. Jack Sparrow. Sparrow is, of course, portrayed by Johnny Depp, whom Richards describes as a ”blood on blood” friend, and it’s quite apparent they have a jolly good time playing pirate together. “If Johnny says he wants to do something, well, it doesn’t take much to get me to show up,” Richards said with a rasp of a laugh.

On Saturday, Disneyland was given over to the massive premiere of the fourth movie in the franchise, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and with a pared-down cast (Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy and Jonathan Pryce missed the boat — or at least their characters did), Richards was given a surprising amount of spotlight during the six-hour event, which was sort of a pop-culture pep rally. More than 700 fans paid $1,000 each to attend and watch the 3-D film on a six-story outdoor screen, eat dinner, see the stars up close and listen to a concert where Disney performers dressed as buccaneers performed “Billie Jean” and “Poker Face” like wedding singers walking the plank.

Richards, with a big pirate grin, went through it all, shrugging, bowing and staggering, the same bleary ballet that famously inspired much of Depp’s on-screen shtick as Sparrow when he was first putting his now-signature character together for the 2003 film “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” In this new movie, Richards is on screen maybe two minutes, but it’s enough time to kill a man, pass on some key knowledge to his offspring and deliver a line that gets one of the biggest laughs in the movie.

“Well, basically, I tell Johnny what to do at one point, and then I get out of there,” Richards said on Saturday.

He had just arrived at the theme park in a black SUV and was waiting in a green room where two makeup artists stood by to touch up the Disney Channel starlets and MTV faces who showed up for the all-hands-on-deck media event. It was a different world than a Stones stadium show, but there was one thing Richards recognized. “You can hear ‘em screaming already,” he said, nodding toward the wall and the thousands of fans beyond who lined the park’s sidewalks and already had waited hours for a glimpse of the celebrity parade to the premiere.

“This is so different than what I usually do, and I love to see how’s it made, you know, and this is one 3-D with the big cameras and all, and I’m interested in that, and I get to see the latest techniques. And I don’t have to really do a lot of work. We did it in London at Pinewood Studios, and it was the usual thing. You get there early, and you wait around a long time. The makeup takes a long time; it’s an incredible amount of makeup, and sometimes you’re sitting there next to a guy who’s getting scales put on. ‘Hey, how you doin’?’ It’s a lot of preparation to do something that will be short, but it’s amazing stuff, as you expect.”

A few days earlier, Rob Marshall, the director of the new film, said the set crackled with excitement on the day that Richards was scheduled to do his pirate duty. “What an amazing guy; he can’t help but be himself, and it was just an honor to have him come in,” said the Oscar-nominated filmmaker (“Chicago“) who picked up the franchise after the three-film run by Gore Verbinski. ”We were in London too, so people were just freaked out that he was coming.”

Marshall himself wrote the funny line that Richards delivered (a line went over big at the Saturday night screening), but he brought it to the rock star with some trepidation. “It required him to have some fun with himself, and I wasn’t sure how he’d feel about it, but it was great, he loved it,” Marshall said. “He is just so self-effacing and funny in general. I told him he was doing some great acting and he said, ‘You should see my Hamlet.’ “

Marshall made it clear that the whole scene with Richards, which takes place and in and around a scabby old tavern early in the film, was put in to satisfy the star of the franchise.

“He and Johnny have an extraordinary chemistry together, and they really love each other,” Marshall said. “When Johnny said to me and to us, ‘I want Keith in this one’ and what worked out really nicely is that instead of a cameo he’s actually really part of the storytelling and he puts the plot in motion in a way. He sends Jack on his quest, and it really brings a smile to your face when you see them on screen together.”

Richards only enhanced his real-world desperado aura and rock stature with “Life,” the bestselling memoir released in paperback just this month. The publisher – Little, Brown and Co. – paid $7 million for the book of 500-plus pages (which was written with veteran journalist James Fox), and the investment has paid off. Richards said the wave of positive reviews for the book was more than he expected.

“I was blown away, actually. I don’t know what I expected, but what we heard back was so strong,” Richards said. “There were really good reviews from some really hard critics too, and I was amazed that we were able to get the story across to people and to those critics and they all mostly liked it. I mean, my records don’t get such good reviews.”

The book’s accounts of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll led to a breathless Drudge Report post in October that quoted an unnamed “inside source” and stated that alarmed Disney executives might cut Richards from the film. That only made sense if the Disney leadership and the moviegoing public were somehow unaware that Richards was a demigod of debauchery; perhaps the author of the post was unaware of a similar sort of rumor circulated before the release of the third “Pirates” film. All of it misses the point that Richards was imported into the project to bring a whiff of authentic danger to the amusement-park pirating.

“If there is a pirate soul among us, it’s Keith Richards,” Marshall said.

Richards walked the same carpet path at the previous “Pirates” premiere, but he said his first trip to the “happiest place on earth” was as paying customer. “I once brought my kids here, back in the ’60s. I was a punter then; I rode all the rides,” Richards said, although that might be slippery memory considering his first child, Marlon Richards, was born in 1969, and his second, now known as Angela Richards, arrived in 1972. No matter, Richards was in a good mood on Saturday, and it was time to go meet the screaming masses, who reached out to shakes his hand or pleaded for an autograph. The fact that the youngest of those fans knew more about the Black Eyed Peas than they did “Black and Blue” didn’t bother Richards one bit. It actually provided a special sort of satisfaction.

“Not everybody that likes pirate movies necessarily likes rock ‘n’ roll, right, and so this all gives me another chance to communicate with different people,” Richards said. “Now everywhere there’s all these young people who know me as Capt. Teague, not as Keith Richards. ‘That’s Jack Sparrow’s dad!’ And that’s cool, man.”

Keith looks great!
Patti looks fantastic!

Healthy, rested....love the acting, but how about the day job?

"Bleary ballet" is a wonderful description of Keith and the Jack Sparrow character. Nice to see him getting recognition for something other than falling out of a tree or snorting cremains.

Interviewer asks Keith about Steven Tyler, which clearly disinterests him.
What to do? Follow up with two more ST questions, of course!

Johnny Depp 'felt like being in a band' working with Keith Richards

Rolling Stones guitarist appears once again as Depp's father in new movie

May 11, 2011

Johnny Depp has chatted about how he felt like a rock star while working with Keith Richards on the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. The Rolling Stones guitarist reprises his role as Depp character Captain Jack Sparrow's father Captain Teague in the new film, On Stranger Tides.

It is well-documented that Depp based his portrayal in the hit series on Richards. Now, Depp has paid tribute to the guitarist once more. He told the Associated Press: "To be able to bring him back into the Pirates fold, where he most certainly belongs, was a gas. Just spending a couple days sharing a trailer, it was as close, I suppose, as being in a rock'n'roll band with him as you can get."

Responding to speculation about a fifth movie in the Disney franchise, he added it would need: "Essentially the same ingredients that have gone into each and every one, especially this one. I would be in if it was right, for sure."

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opens in the UK on May 18.

Keith Richards praises Johnny Depp as "engineer" behind Pirates Of The Caribbean appearance

By Mirror.co.uk 13/05/2011

Rolling Stone Keith Richards has credited Johnny Depp as "the engineer" behind his appearance in the new Pirates Of The Caribbean film.

The rocker reprises his role as Captain Teague in the fourth part of the hugely successful series, called Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

He said: "Johnny was the engineer. He said to me 'Are you in?' and I said 'Just give me the rig, baby'.

"It's so much fun."

Depp, who described the guitarist as "a fascinating man", famously based his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow on the hard-living star.

Richards also impressed the film's director Rob Marshall.

He said: "After we shot his scene, I said 'Keith, that was fantastic. I'm so impressed' and he said slyly 'You should see my Hamlet'."

Keith's among the invitees for tomorrow's Cannes premiere...

Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Interview with Keith Richards, who plays the father of Jack Sparrow

http://tinyurl.com/6h98m7y

On the occasion of the Pirates 4 presentation at the 64th Cannes Film Festival, out of competition, Disney delivers an interview with Keith Richards, who returns in this sequel, still in the shoes of Captain Teague.

Keith Richards admits to have had no trouble diving back into the fantastic world of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: The Fountain of Youth. "Captain Teague is not a complex character, he says. You put on the costume, and in less time than it takes to say it, you become Captain Teague. Somehow, it's a little suit that makes the role ... "

A true rock legend and close friend of Johnny Depp, Keith Richards had already camped out the amazing captain in 2007 in the third installment of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END. He had a great time and was enchanted with the idea of reprising his role for the fourth episode, The Fountain of Youth, directed by Rob Marshall and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Johnny Depp had said at the beginning of the project that he insisted his friend be part of what promised to be another great adventure, both on and off the trays.
Johnny Depp says: "Keith had participated in the third movie, it was imperative for him to return. So I told Jerry and writers early in the project: "Captain Teague will be back, no? He absolutely must be there. I'm very glad it's the case, and the circumstances of his return are really great.
"The presence of Keith in the role of Captain Teague in AT WORLD'S END had been really well received, it was amazing. Everyone wanted him to resume his role. And I of course said it would give us the opportunity to spend time together ... "

Guitarist and member of what is arguably the greatest rock band in the world, the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards has lived under the spotlight for nearly fifty years. Musically, he's seen everything and done everything, and he recently told his incredible journey from a suburb of London's status as a rock icon in a sober autobiography entitled "Life." You can hear the voice of Johnny Depp at the beginning of the audio version of the book.
Both men are very close. In the first installment, THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL in 2003, Johnny Depp had said his friend inspired his interpretation of Jack Sparrow, the charming scoundrel. It seemed logical to call him when the opportunity arose to introduce the story of Jack's father, Captain Teague.
This experience has greatly amused Keith Richards, who admits with a laugh: "The only time I call Johnny "Sonny" is when I wear all my gear. Normally when I speak to Johnny, I don't tell him: "Hi son!"

The complicity of the two men and their mutual respect is found in the relationship of their characters. Keith Richards says about this: "It's quite true, but it's something perfectly natural, it's never calculated."
He explained: "I wondered how I could play the father of Jack Sparrow. The secret was to constantly rely on my instincts. I just hope it works. But ultimately, it's easy to work with Johnny, it makes things so much. I mean, it's his job - I'm doing this for fun!"
In this new adventure, Jack Sparrow is forced to ally with one of his worst enemies, Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), to search for the mythical fountain of youth hidden in the heart of a mysterious jungle.
Along the way, Jack will face one of his exes, Angelica (Penelope Cruz), the dreaded pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), and an armada of bewitching mermaids, zombies and other figures determined to stop him.

Keith Richards found that being with Johnny Depp and the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH team was like being back home. He says: "It's really a great team! Everyone knows, everyone is there for a while. On the set, I always feel a great bunch of mates and friends. Everyone supports me a lot and I didn't encounter attitudes like: "let's see what you can do" ... For me, it's like being part of a great band, and it makes things easier."
According to Keith Richards, there are similarities between the worlds of music and film, and links a bit more distant, but real, between the pirates and rock as both gravitate to the margins of society.
He explains: "Rock, at the bottom, is folk, and it's found in folk songs of sailors and other kinds of popular music. So there's a strong link somewhere. It's a question of roots."

Keith Richards said: "Why do pirates fascinate us so much? There are still real pirates these days, it's not as if they're gone. I guess the pirates and rock are somewhat synonymous with rebellion - they are outside the norm, outside the circle. I think the link is there.
"The theater, acting and film are intimately related to the music because everything is in rhythm, in knowing where to place emphasis. I'm new here. Johnny knows more than me on that. But everyone made it easier for me and it's great to work with Rob."
Being part of such a big production helped Keith Richards behind the scenes of making a movie. He said: "The process of creating a film is fascinating, and it is of course very different from what I do. Basically, I go on stage and I give everything, there's no second take."

For Keith Richards, the process begins when he dons the costume of Captain Teague, created by costume designer Penny Rose: "You look in the mirror, and slowly, before you even realize it, you're Captain Teague. Keith Richards has disappeared!
"Teague is a very interesting character because he's directly linked to his costume, and when you wear all the gear, you become him - it's stronger than you! So it really makes things easier because when I'm on stage, I become Captain Teague. Give me a pair of pistols and a sword, and off I go! Boarding!"

Depp's in France doing press for 'POTC'. From Le Figaro:

Keith Richards, Rolling Stones guitarist, is back in The Fountain of Youth...He's also the subject of a documentary you're making...
... And for which we've already recorded thirty-six hours of interviews. We'll take the time needed for assembly. There's no hurry. It was an honor to spend some time with him, chatting in the trailer that we shared during filming. I finally had the courage to ask him a question that bothered me for a long time, about a guitar chord in the song 'Make No Mistake'. I have a pretty good ear, but I hadn't managed to understand how he did it. He grabbed his guitar and bang!, he showed me. It's one of those moments that I'll never forget.

Thirty six hours of interviews...

Probably Ronnie asking the question.

Cool pics of KEEF & Patti. They look great! I'll see the movie when it comes out on DVD or on TV, I already saw KEEF's parts on Jimmy Fallon.

I wonder why asking a guitar question took so much courage?

I'm a Depp fan, but I'm afraid he might be one of the many who is too in awe to do an objective job with the documentary. On the other hand, he's probably the only producer Keith would agree to. I'll look forward to seeing it.
