Keith "Slugger" Richards

Tin Ear calls this clip “so rock it hurts”—and he’s very much right. It’s Keith Richards, the undead dark prince of rock and roll, absolutely clobbering a stage-jumper with his guitar during a concert. The best part of the clip is in the first second, where Richards actually winds up—his form is pretty good!—before taking the swing. Security then tackles the guy and sweeps him offstage, while Richards, looking for all the world like nothing at all has just happened (and, to be fair, in his world, nothing at all may have happened), re-shoulders the guitar and returns to the show.

  1. Yesterday morning, this comment on Metafilter about said clip made me shoot coffee out of my nose.

  2. Nice! Perhaps he thought it was Mortality bearing down on him.

  3. It’s a dead link now (or, “forbidden”). Too bad, because you drew me in.
