Keith Richards Said He and George Harrison Had a 'Bond': 'They'd Be Nowhere Without Us'

Keith Richards and George Harrison knew a thing or two about being a lead guitarist in a world-famous rock band.

As The Rolling Stones’ lead guitarist, Richards was the mastermind behind famous guitar riffs in songs like “Brown Sugar” and “Honky Tonk Women.” Meanwhile, George always knew how to fill out Beatles’ songs like “Day Tripper” and “If I Needed Someone.”

Knowing what it took to make each other their bands dominate the charts bonded them in a way. Without them, there wouldn’t be The Beatles or The Rolling Stones.

In the special edition of Rolling Stone, “Remembering George,” published months after George died in 2001, Richards spoke about his relationship with his guitar-playing counterpart. He said that he thought he and George had a “bond.”

“George and I kind of formed-without talking too much about it, although we did have a laugh here and there-a bond, in that we felt we were kind of fulfilling the same role within our respective bands,” Richards said. “It was a nod and a wink to say, ‘Well, they’d be nowhere without us.’
