The Rolling Stones guitar icon Keith Richards revealed that he doesn't use any guitar pedals onstage, jokingly noting that "it's enough to stand up straight" these days.
He said during an appearance on WTF with Marc Maron Podcast: "Hey man, it's enough to stand up straight, [laughs] let alone poking around on buttons.
"Any of those effects that I need actually can be done from behind [the stage]. Because I need to know where to put my feet. Tripping over those boxes, it just ties you down."
And speaking of people whose help he uses during performance, Keef particularly praised Pierre De Beauport, his guitar tech for nearly 25 years.
"He decides what guitars I'm gonna play on songs. That's how much I trust him," the musician said.
Discussing the band's approach to music, as well as his early influences, which include Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, Buddy Guy, and more, Richards commented:
"We were not so much interested in becoming virtuosos. It was how those guys got that sound. To us it was the thing of trying to get close to making that kind of sound. We studied, man! We studied and starved."
