RICHARDS MADE SURE HIS GUITARS WERE COMFORTABLE IN FRANCE
KEITH RICHARDS looked after his guitars better than people while he was r ecording THE ROLLING STONES’ landmark EXILE ON MAIN STREET album at his c hateau home in France - the instruments occupied every chair in the spraw ling home.
The rocker’s then-girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, still has fond memories of the decadent Nellcote home Richards turned into a recording studio an d party mecca in the early 1970s.
But it wasn’t well decorated - and no one had anywhere to sit.
She recalls, "The whole house was majestic, very big and decaying. Ther e was no furniture. I remember bringing home some rugs and in all the pho tographs you see them. We lived in that rock ‘n’ roll hippie style; on th e floor basically.
"Everybody was shocked to see how such a beautiful place could have all these toys on the floor and the best places were for the guitars. All th e nice couches had the guitars on them! You always had to sit somewhere e lse. Keith does that. He’s always got the guitar in the best place with t he best seat!"
