My Neighbour ran into Charlie Watts taking an afternoon stroll on Yonge St. a few hours before their last concert in Toronto. ... He told me how he FROZE in shock and said, "Is it really YOU?" ... Charlie belly laughed and said, "Yes Mate, any idea where I can get a pint of Guinness around here?" .... My friend pointed to the bar across the street and Charlie invited him to join him. ... They had a pint and a half hour chat, my friend told me he was the nicest man he EVER met. ... THAT was Charlie Watts.
I went through exactly the same mid-80's and almost lost everything too. Funnily enough, my path crossed Charlie's about then (he poured me a pint in an hotel bar after the barman had gone to bed... long story). I straightened out, recovered, then had the most horrific accident which left me severely crippled... and lost everything. Sometimes you just can't win!
That was sure sweet of him to share that difficult story. Maybe it will help someone else to not feel so alone and realize they too can kick that nightmare of an addiction if Charlie did! 💕😎 It must be really scary but such a grateful feeling just to be able to look back on such a hard, hard time. Damn opioids are stealing so many souls, taking babies’ parents, robbing innocent lives snd their babies’ childhoods too! To share that sadness and story was a gift really❣️Thanks, Charlie for a gift that keeps on giving. 💗🌸
@@bingbong7316 Glad you found the strength to kick it❣️God bless you and Charlie too💕I bet that is a long story…sounds like a generous down to Earth guy pouring you a pint! Thanks for sharing😎🌞🌸
The talented, gifted people are dying ......ppl with gold hearts too.....and then the rest are alive and we all can see and watch them everyday by internet, TV,magazines and papers ....and to be honest I'm an allian in this trouble world
I agree. The vulnerability showed when he said ' he had nearly lost everything' when talking about his drug taking. He meant his wife and family in that segment as he reiterated such in another rare insightful interview. His wife and family meant more to him than The Rolling Stones that is for sure.
@@monkeyrevolution1964 He means he is opening up about very bad times in his life when he fucked up. A lot of blokes can’t admit they have screwed up: the whole macho thing. It takes guts to publically bare one’s soul like that. And a lot of rockers are vulnerable. Money and success does not always bring happiness and touring is fucking hard work living in countless hotel rooms. The classical guitarist Christopher parkening in his autobiography says he had a meltdown over it. That is why so many turned to booze and drugs: Elton John another who has been honest about this.
I heard the groupie sweet Connie set her sights on Charlie and worked her way to get to meet him, offered her services, and he just disappeared when she turned away for a minute.
Here, here. Charlie's roots were in jazz so he was a double threat. He once punched Mick and reminded him that HE was the drummer and that Mick was HIS singer. Sartorially splendid and invested his wealth well. I still think of what Brian Jones, the founder who was Mick's angelic twin at the outset, could have achieved if he did not throw his talent away. And leave behind heartbroken women and lost children in a "unliberated" era. Gail W., USA Midwest.
One of the greatest timekeepers in the business, you would hardly see Charlie Watts move but he did and every move he made had purpose. Some people say that Charlie looked bored, but he was focused on his craft. If you were lucky you may catch his attention for a tiny moment and he'd lay one of those famous smirks/grins on ya. Thank you for the years of entertainment Charlie Watts, rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his loved ones.
Out Of Tears is such a gorgeous song. Tomorrow will be one week since he passed & I'm crying again watching this ! 😭 I think it's his honesty that gets me so much. RIP Charlie 💔
Charlie was so smooth & cool. He also seemed entertained watching Mick perform his stage antics, never drawing attention to himself, while never missing a beat. They made the right choice when they chose Charlie over Ginger Baker. What a classy & talented person he was!!!! In later years Keith would not tour unless Charlie agreed to tour as well. Love the story behind "It's Only Rock & Roll - But I Like It" inspired by a reply comment Charlie made before loading a tour bus.
He certainly dressed like a distinguished gentleman. It was always great to see what sort of jacket and tie or colorful ensemble he would wear in public or for band photos.
A great honest human being. Told it like it was and told it like it is. May you rest in peace and you will always will be in our hearts and prayers will be always with your loved ones, Amen 🙏 my brother ,Mr Charlie Watts of the greatest band in the world .
Very open and honest man . Charles Watts will live forever in our memories . He was so special human being and did the best drumming for the best and biggest Rock band in the planet : The Rolling Stones . Hi from Brazil :)
We will always love Charlie! My favourite drummer of all time id have to say. No one else has brought us the goods as long and consistently as he and his Rolling Stones cohorts have. Bless em all and thanks for the ride Charlie!
Charlie Watts had the longest music "gig" possible. He was the prince of drumming! He was an icon and was a "quality" band member -- he had so much class. I'll miss him immensely 😓😭❤💗💖.
He was the calm in the storm. Almost didn’t notice him amid the overshadowing of his bandmates. Just listen specifically to his drumming on any Stones song, he was great. Rest In Peace Charlie. We’ll always remember you. ❤️
I think a good rhythm section mostly stays in the background. That's just how it is. They keep the band together, not just in timing, but groove and on and off the road. The only rhythm section that came close was AC/DC's. While Bon Scott or Brian Johnson was out front with Angus Young, it was his brother rhythm guitarist Malcolm, with drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams who kept the band's tight groove that put a tingle into you. Without Charlie and Bill, Mick and Keith would not be able to shine.
Being a rock musician I fought my demons as well. And I won as well. I think back and imagine how I survived…the demons were fun 🤩 but they lost 😡! Thank u Mr Watts for all the gr8 music.
I was literally shocked to death when i heard the Charlie did heroin. Shocked! Never in my life I thought Charlie, would do anything like that. So dapper and quiet. Never thought he would do heroin
I love this song for the backdrop for this interview, Out of Tears,Charlie Watts is interesting intelligent, and a 1st class act. He is humble and down to earth. He is just a joy to talk to. You could see the pain in his eyes and the sound in his voice when he said that he almost lost everything 🎉🎉
Luv ya charlie no matter what .. we all fight vices .. its how you stand back up and move on ... may the lord bless you and may you Rest In Peace .. with a little bit of rock n roll inbetween .... sadly missed ... God Bless ...
And I was the 1st kid in America to recognize him, on 48th St., in NYC when I was buying my first electric....he signed his autograph "of the Rolling Stones"
Sometimes the harder you try to hold onto everything it just disappears in the end.I thought the Stones would last forever with Charlie. Life has a funny way of teaching us that everything dies in the end.Mortality is fleeting...hang on to your dreams.RIP Charlie Watts ( A humble man of extraordinary talent who will be greatly missed)
Check out “Atlantic City” performed by John Anderson. Springsteen wrote it, but Anderson delivers it. You can find it on RUclips. You just about wrote a key line in the song in your post
@@reekashade Used to like it. Considering what a raging libtard Springsteen has become, I find Nebraska to be unlistenable now. Glad this video featured a real man in Charlie Watts, now a phony globalist turd like Bruce. RIP Charlie.
@@blindtoby8967 no offence, but when they dabble, they do think it’s ok, then after the dabbling problems arise then it becomes not ok. It becomes painful not just because the pain won’t go away because there maybe no coming back from it. The thing is he did get rid of the issue.
Drug use among musicians is older than recorded music itself. I always found it amazing how Lemmy from Motörhead said he never touched heroin. He used copious amounts of LSD while young only but pretty much his whole life he treated amphetamine like an office worker treats coffee and he drank whisky like it was water. But he said about heroin "that's the one that kills you" and he never touched it. Probably also because it killed his one and only true love.
Charlie Watts was always honest in his interviews about himself.He was by all accounts a down to earth man,never a rock star type,just an honest musician who never took himself too seriously.
We all used to chant Charlie Charlie at gigs in the early days. We saw ourselves more in Charlie. We weren’t as Flamboyant as Mick and really we didn’t want to be. We were working class and we had our feet in full contact with the Earth and Charlie… Charlie was the heart beat, for the Stones and for us. A first rate geezer.
A life lived to its fullest with the best and worst.I wasnt surprised with his honesty at his age who cares what you admit as being your story,its who you are and have been.Rip charlie.
True old school musician and epitome of the true English gent and my favourite Stone . Not met him ( wish I had) but got friends who live near his farm in Devon and they say he was a quiet, unassuming and very down earth bloke who would nevertheless stop and chat and was not affected or up himself in any way.
Rest in peace you one of a kind legend. 💕 Condolences to his immediate family and his Rolling Stones family, which also refers to anyone who reads this.
@@speeddemon9555 I was talking about Keith moon. Moon was the best kick ass drummer ever..but Charlie watts played on til his late seventies..pretty impressive..
@@speeddemon9555 Bonham is another genius innovator.. one drummer that gets overlooked is Nigel Olsson from Elton John's band... he's a fucking good drummer...
Living a legendary rock star life is brutal and almost always takes a toll on your body just as any person working the same job for over 40 years R.I.P. Charlie
I read once jagger was saying where is my fucking drummer? Charlie heard this as he was in bed at the time, he calmy got up, got dressed, walked downstairs, punched jagger in his face, and said I'm not your fucking drummer
Mick wasn't flashing Charlie, he was complaining about how hot it was, and Charlie reacting is him reacting to the heat. It was due to the lighting that Scorsese was using.
He may not have imagined why girls were screaming at him, and I understand that shyness, my brother is like that too, but I also reacted to him vocally when I heard of his passing: I didn't scream though, I cried. Why? Because the music he helped so much to propel has really helped propel me through nearly my entire life, from age 10 on. Thank you for that musical gift, Mr. Watts, sir! (Hint to everybody: Y'all listen to "2021 South Michigan Ave." incredible jam to hear him bang it all together.)
I'm sad that I've only recently started to watch his interviews and get to know him. What an interesting man. He is as important in the Rolling Stones as Mick and the others.
What a unique guy. I grew up with them been a fan since I was 6 (1967) when my sister had High Tides and Green Grass ( 1st hits album) and I wanted ‘mod’ clothes especially those red ‘cords Brian was wearing. Lol

At least he came through it a lived a good life !
He was very futunate. Not a lot of people on vices survived.
My job in NY for 2 years was driving addicted people to methadone clinics.
Charlie was so down to earth and honest. May he rest in peace.
God bless you Charlie, thanks for your music, it will live forever.
Those down-to-Earth people with their heroin, touring the world as a rock star... Psh.
Now he is 6 feet under and so much closer.
I'm not even one of those diehard Stones fans, but when Charlie passed it broke me. I know he's not suffering anymore but now we are.
So “Respectable” RIP ❤
The world is a little sadder without this sweet, talented gentleman.
The talented, gifted people are dying ......ppl with gold hearts too.....and then the rest are alive and we all can see and watch them everyday by internet, TV,magazines and papers ....and to be honest I'm an allian in this trouble world
Charlie is so vulnerable in this segment. Such a sweet beautiful soul.
He is not vulnerable at all . He was a Rolling Stones how he could be vulnerable ?

As anyone should be surely
I heard the groupie sweet Connie set her sights on Charlie and worked her way to get to meet him, offered her services, and he just disappeared when she turned away for a minute.
He looks like it, even when they got old, the way he dressed looked like a humble simple man
He was my favourite, so cool n composed
You heard wrong
Charlies' candor is disarming, truly a great drummer and a true gentleman.
David Worth 👋
Gonna miss you Charlie.
Beautiful soul in that gentleman. Rest In Peace, Charlie.
Ffs he’s not dead yet 🙄
What a lovely man. He’ll be sadly forever missed. The quiet Stone.
still cant believe it, charlie you were so down to earth and genuine, the stones arent the stones without you
