Keith had every right to be pissed. What were aftonbladet playing at by sending the same journalist to interview him from whom he'd demanded an apology 3 years earlier?

It was quite obvious that they were trying to set up some kind of confrontation that would give them a story.  Sounds like they got it.And from what I've been led to believe, the story that Keith 'hit' the guy is a serious exaggeration (no surprise there)



I doubt Keith will lose any sleep over it. Nor should he. Larsson, meanwhile, gets to shit his pants and might think twice about abusing his position and spewing bile and lies about someone in future.

Result.

Keith Richards' Rep Denies Violence Claims

Swedish journalist alleges Richards attacked him during interview

By  Jem Aswad

Nov 10, 2010 5:14 PM EST
Keith Richards reportedly threatened and attacked a Swedish journalist during an interview at a Paris hotel Tuesday — though his representative denied to Rolling Stone that any violence had occurred.

According to online translations of an article in the Swedish-language publication Aftonbladets, Richards, who was promoting his memoir Life, became hostile when he realized that the paper's interviewer, Markus Larsson, was the man who had given a Rolling Stones concert a bad review after a 2007 concert in Gothenburg, Sweden, describing them as "amateurs." Richards reportedly demanded a public apology for the review, as he had after the concert reviews were published.

Tuesday's meeting "ended with the rock star threatening Markus Larsson and hitting him in the head," the article claims, adding that Richards said, "You're lucky to get out of here alive" to Larson before he left.

However, a spokesperson for Richards says that the allegations against the singer were false. "At the conclusion of the 20 minute interview Keith Richards jokingly tapped the journalist on the head after his questions got a bit silly," Richards' spokesperson tells Rolling Stone. "From the people in the room during the interview they would suggest that the writer has allowed his imagination to get the better of him."

maybe Keith should have 'showed him the blade....'  Are you fucking serious?

Not for nothing, but whyinhell was Aftonbladet - let alone the guy who'd previously skewered Keith - granted an interview at all?

Seems likely that someone in the Keith camp failed to do their due diligence and whiffed on the payback F.U.   

End result is a splashy tabloid headline and a denial that should've never been necessary...

Yep. Some very lax 'screening' there on the part of Keith's people as well.

Yesterday's 'hurricane' has now been downgraded to a 'storm' - or rather the 'attack'  has now been re-classified as 'a little push'. Maybe their lawyers got a bit nervous.

From today's 'aftonbladet' (not exactly a neutral source, admittedly) - translation by Svartmer on IORR . I love the way the guy opens the questioning by talking about the reviewer as if it was another person :

Question: I have to ask you. A couple of years ago you played in Gothenburg and got a lukewarm review from a Swedish critic.
Answer: Oh, you mean the man from Gothenburg? He put me down even before I played Gothenburg. And when I wanted to see him he already had left the town. I hate cowards.
Q: Well...
A: He has a malevolent pen. He doesnīt like me. One day I want to meet him in a dark room.
Q: But I, eh.
A: Itīs not you?
Q: Yes. And Iīm not a coward. (Keith slams his glass down on the table)
A: Itīs you!
Q: Yes, itīs me.
A: So you are the man who hates me?
Q: No, I donīt hate you.
A: (Keith rises) Letīs turn out the lights here and now. Youīve really been writing a lot of shit about me.
Q: I wanted to come here and look in your eyes and...
A: So itīs you. Why am I talking to you? Youīre full of shit. When I wanted to talk to you, you ran away.
Q: No, I didnīt. And Iīm here now.
A: What do you want? Slit my throat?
Q: I donīt want to fight. I want to explain...
A: On what did you base your review?
Q: I didnīt think the show lived up to my expectations. But I stand for it and I...
Q: Funny thing that no one else felt the way you did. So now itīs personal. Now we say goodbye. (Keith gives the reporterīs head a little push). Consider yourself lucky to get out from here alive. (Keith quickly leaves the room)

It got mixed reviews, as did a lot of shows. The guy did praise Jagger's performance, but I dont think it helped matters by his sweeping assumption that Keith was basically drunk.

Larsson's review of the 07 Gothenburg show did indeed give Mick high marks.

Keith, on the other hand, was referred to as "a little confused", "broken" and "old".
It also mentioned that his playing, while not as bad as the previous show in Helsinki, was still "a bit at random" and he was no longer the group's "engine".

Pretty scathing, and imo not hard to see why it drew Keith's ire then and now...

But the review was pretty much spot-on, and Keith shouldn't get pissed at a critic for sharing his honest opinion. I was often surprised at how good the reviews were for the latter part of the tour to be honest.

So it appears KEEF reads the reviews, cares about what they say about him, and also holds a grudge! It surprises me, I would assume KEEF didnt give a fvck what anyone in the world says about him. Apparently KEEF is a sensitive man! Who woulda thought???

Mick Dick update.........

Groupie 'satisfied' with Jagger

By WENN.COM

Pamela Des Barres. (Supplied photo) 

Infamous rock groupie Pamela Des Barres has defended Mick Jagger after Keith Richards questioned the size of his manhood, insisting she got "plenty of satisfaction" in bed with the frontman.

In his explosive memoirs, Life, Richards mocks his Rolling Stones bandmate, claiming speculation the rocker is well-endowed is false and insisting Jagger's one-time girlfriend Marianne Faithfull "had no fun with his tiny todger (penis)".

But Des Barres, who has written two books about her romps with Jagger and other rock 'n' roll legends, wants to set the record straight.

She says, "I beg to differ with Keith on the sexual prowess of his lead singer. In all ways (including size) I got plenty of satisfaction. The todger isn't tiny after all, dolls. And you can trust the world's most famous groupie!"

Markus Larsson was on "The Schulman Show" - oddly enough, an Aftonbladet web TV program - and played the audio of the Paris interview.
Segment is about 9 minutes in.

Keith quite presciently predicts "You're gonna have a field day with this..."

Keith definitely can hold a grudge... it's interesting, I like the way he's brutally honest towards folks in his book... he describes things he loves and hates about people... it might sting a little for some people, but his flattery and his condemnations seem sincere... I defintely get the feeling, with certain ideas, Keith is resolved, like Taylor quitting or the way Mick and Bill fucked to keep score... He's not super harsh on himself, but he does seem to understand he has lived most of his adult life in a bubble, and he remarks on himself a little harsh at times, but I think his ego jumps out, understandbly.

I don't think Pamela was a groupie... from what you read in Keith's book and other books, groupies were about music and mothering these wounded, albiet self inflicted, touring rockers. In alot of instances, it wasn't even about sex...
I'm not going to judge her sex life... it's lame to think a woman can't be racking up numbers like the guys... I do think her motives were selfish... She was the type Keith passed over, and I would've too...

Ungallant?....maybe I will need to google that..I could care less who she had sex with but the constant yapping about it in the press or a book to preserve a tad of relevancy is past pathetic

as much as the stones are vital to keith, i agree, he should be recording music. if mick isn't around, no big deal. you can't take it with you keef... i know there's some producers out there like rubin or lanois who could squeeze shot out of keith that would probably make every living musician feel like they suck!!!
