London(ANI):
Keith
Richards
is
so
much
in
love
with
his
guitar
that
he
takes
better
care
of
his
guitar
than
his
guest.
The
instrument
occupied
every
chair
in
the
sprawling
home
when
Keith
was
recording
'The
Rolling
Stone" landmark
'Exile
On
Main
Street"
album
at
his
chateau
home
in
France.
The
rocker's
then-girlfriend,
Anita
Pallenberg,
still
has
fond
memories
of
the
decadent
Nellcote
home
Richards
turned
into
a
recording
studio
and
party
mecca
in
the
early
1970s.
But
his
pad
was
not
well
decorated,
and
no
one
had
anywhere
to
sit.
"The
whole
house
was
majestic,
very
big
and
decaying.
There
was
no
furniture.
I
remember
bringing
home
some
rugs
and
in
all
the
photographs
you
see
them.
We
lived
in
that
rock
'n'
roll
hippie
style;
on
the
floor
basically," the
Daily
Express
quoted
Pallenberg
as
saying.
"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
the
nice
couches
had
the
guitars
on
them!
You
always
had
to
sit
somewhere
else.
Keith
does
that.
He''s
always
got
the
guitar
in
the
best
place
with
the
best
seat!" she
added.
