Here’s the deal, kid:
You didn’t stumble into some blog hoping to feel safe. You came here because something in you still twitches when a needle drops. Because you’re chasing the roar that rattles your bones and won’t let go. The Attitude ain’t here to clap for itself—it’s here to make noise, stir ghosts, and drag the truth out by its frayed guitar cable.
We’re not polishing trophies here. We’re tossing Molotovs at mediocrity. This is a shot of raw volume straight to the bloodstream. A fistfight between history and heresy. With Damone riding shotgun, the bar’s set high—and the decibels higher.
Yeah, we nod to the titans—Zeppelin’s apocalyptic swagger, Van Halen’s sugar-burnt flash, the punk kids howling in church basements and saying hell no to corporate handshakes. But we’re not candle-lighting at rock’s tomb. We’re smashing through the museum glass to steal something that still burns.
You want the guts behind the grooves, the sin behind the solos, the why behind every busted snare and broken tooth on tour? That’s what we’re here for. Not the myth sanitized—the myth on fire. No PR spin. No algorithmic slop. Just the truth, from alley whispers to back lounge brawls.
So if you’re tired of playlists that play it safe…
If you still believe a song can hit like a breakup and save you like a sermon…
Then pour one. Light whatever the hell you light.
And crank it.
Because this ain’t a blog.
This is the front-row seat to the soundtrack of your life.
That’s The Attitude. Wussies.

Whispers in the Alley: Keith Richards’ Blood Transfusion
“Here’s the deal, kid”
You ever party so hard your blood gets kicked out of the band? Keith Richards did. Allegedly. This is the kind of story that comes crawling out of a foggy Swiss clinic, lights a cigarette, and dares you to believe it. Whether it happened or not—well, that ain’t the point.
This is rock 'n' roll vampire lore, and like a great riff, it sticks in your head long after the amp’s gone cold.
🩸 The Story
Late '70s. Richards is deep in the heroin trench. The Rolling Stones are still standing, but barely. The tale goes like this: Keith flies to Switzerland and checks into a private clinic to get a full blood transfusion—new blood in, old blood out.
Why? Detox, baby. Not the spa kind. The full vampire treatment.
The rumor claims he walked out the same day, clean as a whistle, fresh blood pumping like a V8 engine. Said he felt like a new man. Supposedly.
📃 Published Accounts
Biographer Victor Bockris wrote about it. Richards himself has mocked the story, claiming he just had "a blood change, not a full transfusion."
In his own memoir Life, Keith shrugged it off, saying:
"I was in Switzerland. I did go to a clinic. But the transfusion thing is bollocks. I just had a good flush-out."
Still, that didn’t stop the press from running with it. Headlines read like something out of a Dracula reboot. Rock fans didn’t care if it was real. They wanted it to be real.
🧛♂️ Why It Sticks
Because it’s the most Keith Richards thing imaginable.
Getting a full-body blood swap to keep partying? It turns him into rock’s first functioning immortal. The story isn’t just about heroin. It’s about survival. About outliving your own damn bloodstream.
And let’s be honest—if anyone had a personal deal with the Grim Reaper, it’s Keith.
⚡️ Damone’s Take
Look, I don’t care if it was a transfusion, a detox drip, or holy water from an ancient Swiss spring. Richards walked in looking like death and walked out ready to tour. That’s legend shit.
You want truth? Read a textbook. You want The Attitude? Keith Richards changed his damn blood so he could keep playing "Brown Sugar."
And he’s still out there, baby.

🎸 THE DAMONE 5 POINT PLAN FOR MUSIC FANS🎸
1. Know the History, Dig the Mystery
By signing up for this life of noise, you hereby agree to respect the roots.
No skipping straight to the hits. You’ll do your homework, read the liner notes,
and let the ghosts of rock’s past show you how it’s done.
Failure to comply may result in mild side-eye from Damone.
2. Put Your Money Where the Music Is
You agree to support the bands that keep your soul from rotting.
Buy a ticket, score some vinyl, and tip the merch guy.
Your social clout does not count as currency here.
No whining about ticket prices—these folks are feeding their cats and paying their bar tabs with that cash.
3. No Surface-Level Fandom Allowed
By continuing to listen, you agree to dig deeper than the algorithm’s “Top 5.”
That means deep cuts, B-sides, bootlegs, and one track your friends call “unlistenable.”
In return? Fresh ears. Seasoned soul. No poseur vibes allowed.
4. Spread the Gospel, Not the Gossip
You promise to share the good shit.
Not just the TikTok hook, but the whole damn record. The dive bar demos. The underdog anthems.
Damone’s Law: If you’re gonna talk, let it be about the music.
Leave the gossip for the tabloids.
5. Stay Curious, Stay Loud
Your final obligation: keep chasing the next fix.
Ears open, heart hungry, volume at 11.
If you’re getting comfortable, you’re already slipping.
This clause binds you to permanent amped-up living.
⚠️ The Fine Print (That Damone Actually Cares About)
Break the rules, and you risk permanent revocation of your air guitar privileges.
Damone reserves the right to judge your playlist, bust your balls, and demand better—
because that’s what great music fans do.
