Keith Richards

“The co-founder of the Rolling Stones, along with his partner Mick Jagger, is Keith Richards, arguably the best rhythm player in history, and one-half of the “Glimmer Twins.” In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine referred to Richards as the creator of “rock’s greatest single body of riffs” on guitar. Additionally, in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Richards was the basis for Johnny Depp’s character, Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow. This is what makes him cooler than anyone you meet.
