Rolling Stones on video: Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood funny MTV interview
At the end of the interview, both try to do an MTV promo spot. According to some viewers’ comments, the footage kept them wondering “why they were rubbing their noses like that?”
In a particular interview from 1982 in Paris, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood absolutely steal the show – not with their usual rock star charm, but with their somewhat questionable attempt at an MTV promo. It starts off as you’d expect, with the two of them cracking jokes, riffing off each other, and generally looking like they just stepped out of the world’s coolest party. But then it gets weird.
As the interview wraps up, they decide to give the whole MTV promo thing a go. Picture this: Keith and Ronnie, looking a little… out of it, trying to say something remotely professional for the camera. But instead of giving a classic promo, they end up doing some of the most awkward, surreal, and downright strange nose-rubbing in TV history. Seriously, it’s like they both suddenly realized the camera was on and, for some bizarre reason, thought rubbing their noses was the best idea for a promo.
Now, here’s where it gets really good: viewers, naturally, couldn’t help but comment. “Why are they rubbing their noses like that?” was the burning question on everyone’s mind. Were they trying to be cool? Were they just messing with the interviewer? Or was it some secret rock star handshake? Either way, the footage went from being a simple promo to a meme-worthy moment that left fans scratching their heads – and laughing.
Keith and Ronnie didn’t exactly make MTV history in the traditional sense. But if you’re ever looking for an example of two rock legends doing something utterly ridiculous for no reason at all, this promo spot is a perfect reminder of the Stones’ unpredictable genius. Who needs polished professionalism when you’ve got Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood just being themselves, right?
