I'm terribly sad Charlie has departed. I hope he passed peacefully and not in too much pain.
Charlie was so modest. He once said in an interview, "I show up at the studio to record. I go home afterwards. I go on tour with the band. I go home afterwards. It's nothing special. I've been doing the same thing for over 50 years."
Thank you for your major contribution to Rock n' Roll and to the Rolling Stones.
RIP Charles Robert Watts.
Fascinating man. No hype, no bs, no ego, just pure honesty. I could listen for hours.
In the 80's, Charlie was asked "whats it like being in the Stones for 25 years"? His answer..." well its 5 years of work and 20 years hanging around." You are a legend Mr. Watts. All the best. We love you.
MWL4466 He is indeed! 😌👌🏻
Well said sir
Actually he said : 5 years of music and 20 years packing suitcases (which he hates) Lol!
I remember that
Great quote
Thanks for sharing
Charlie is the best
Just watching this interview following the very sad news of Charlie's death today. What a wonderful man and what wonderful talent. I love the bit where he says he left at the end of every tour then his wife says "why don't you go back to work you're a nightmare". Made me laugh and cry at the same time.
Lying in bed and have to cry. I am so sad about Charlie Watts death, like he was my personal known friend. He was such a charismatic person and amazing cool drummer. It is tragic
MR.CHARLIE WATTS-THANKS-ROLLING STONES !!
RIP !
At 6:05 when he says "because I'm not really a rock star" and then starts to stumble on his words, this, this is class and why people loved Charlie
Charlie always the gentleman. So very much-loved and very much missed.
There’s an irony coming back to this interview now. RIP Charlie xxx
The vision of a wired Mick frantically trying to reach a relaxed Charlie - who has no cell phone - is classic!
And very funny.
Back in 1963/64, my dad said that the Stones wouldn't last more than a year. So I made a point every 10 years to let him know that the Stones were on tour. Some 55 years later I treated my adult kids to a Stones concert. Best Rock and Roll band to have ever exist!
Old School, pure gentleman untouched by fame. "Anyone who plays in a Jazz band in a pub" section shows the true soul of this man. What a truly lovely person. You could listen to him for hours. Brilliant interview.
So sorry he isn`t with us any longer. His modesty makes me eyes water.
Mick 'gets annoyed with me cos I don't have a mobile".....ha ha. We all loved Charlie for just being without any frills whatsoever!!
Hello Dave, how are you doing and what is the weather like? I wish you a happy weekend.
"I'm not your drummer, you're MY singer."
"my fucking singer" - Charlie said
Bam!
And yes, drummers hit hard!
And he punched him in the face. Mick was behaving like an asshole, woke Charlie up in the middle of the night and Charlie drew the line! Lol!
Don't you ever call me your drummer again. You're my fucking singer
R.I.P. Charlie
We will always remember you
We will always love you
Travel well my friend
Charlie always struck me as the voice of reason with these seemingly chaotic musicians.I love the video for ' She's so cold'. His expression always translates to me as 'these crazy kids'. RIP Charlie..thank you for the music!
Charlie's the man. Great drummer, great bloke.
Mat Mclean great drummer my arse
Paul Little Your arse? What a horrible thought.
Mat Mclean piss off
Paul Little ooohh! Getting all clever on me! Im clearly out of my depth. You win😉
Mat Mclean fuck off
He is one of the most talented, unselfish, down to earth human beings living today. After all these years it's hard not add one more obvious compliment. His inner strength must be rock solid in order for him to have held on to his sanity after living in a crossfire hurricane named the Rolling Stones for over half a century. I tip my hat to you sir and say you're a better man than I could ever be.
Absolutely the coolest, most interesting guy in rock. He's too modest when he says that Mick and Keith would carry on without him. They've both stated that it would all end without Charlie. How could the Stones exist without him rolling his eyes at the proceedings onstage and laying down the tightest, most recognizable groove in music? As with Zeppelin, when the foundation disappears, it's over. Rock on, jazzer Charlie...........................
Couldn't have said it any better myself.
Shame Bill doesn't play bass with them anymore.. Since many years ago. They worked well together.
I think Charlie is right. They could get another drummer
@@samburke9563 Charlie said the opposite, listen again.
You can see, they gonna begin the next shows without him.
Best drummer that the Stones could have ever found. He's part of the unique sound of the Stones.
Charlie you’ve matured into a great rolling stone gentleman, I’ve followed the stones from day one, now I’m 78, and also cant workout the mobile phones, thank you for the good times
R.I.P. Charlie Watts we''ll miss you :(
Charlie no mobile phone, love it !
The vessel has passed, but his work is immortal. Godspeed, Charlie Watts.
‘I think they could get another drummer’. Afraid not Charlie.
His cool modesty is what makes him such a fantastic bloke in my opinion. A man who has it all and still acts with such humility. The world isn’t any worse off now he’s gone, it’s better for his work. The Stones will live on.
Thankyou to the backbone of The Rolling Stones.
Rest easy Mr Watts.
I'm glad Charlie spoke respectfully about Brian Jones.
@Done&Gone what has he said about him?
@@mtndewman1022 It's in the interview.
He stopped talking about him quickly too. It probably still hurt to know Brian left this world so young
Married to the same woman for 54 years....."I've never thought of myself a a rock star."
His passion is Jazz.
@@CC-gd9wl Correct - Charlie is a jazz drummer who found a niche in a wannabe R&B band at the right place and time. Mick and Keith added the ambition. The rest is rock history.
It's very long for anyone.
Charlie is such a down to earth humble person.would've liked to meet him. R.I.P.
Best interview I've seen with Charlie. He actually talks!
I’m a drummer not a Stones fan but for some reason Charlie was always lurking in the back of my mind.God bless him🙏
I just saw his second to last show, I remember everything.he ran to get to the kit in the center of the arena,and he did it marvelous.
Charlie,how you ever SURVIVED that wild bunch will always be a mystery to me.CHEERS.
RIP Charlie. A legend and a gentleman.
It's funny how Charlie and Keith are at different ends of the spectrum yet they're the 2 coolest people in rock n roll!
I think over time I see Charlie as cooler
Does he realise that without him they could not carry on? He is the pulse. So humble how he thinks they could go on without him, but not the case. Such a gracious gent.
On July 22, Watts asked longtime Rolling Stones associate Steve Jordan, who is a member of Keith Richards’ side project X-Pensive Winos, to take his place on the upcoming Rolling Stones' 13-date No Filter tour beginning September 26th in St. Louis and wrapping November 20th in Austin.
@@lindyprimo9025 Watts had already dropped out of the tour before it started due to his health condition at the time. They have replaced him with Jordan and will be going on tour without him.
@@RaymondHng They sure won’t go on tour with him now.
@@sebastienmerlin1760 So far, the tour has not been cancelled. So they are still going on tour with Jordan as his replacement.
Tomorrow night 1st show in st.louis with steve Jordan
Love Charlie Watts, strangely enough, he has always been my favourite Stone besides Brian Jones-- He's witty, intelligent and a brilliant musician-- the epitome of class
Maybe, but who wrote the songs who gives Stones popularity ???
@@Methilde Haha, The Stones do not even exist without Brian. Also, the Jagger/Richards songwriting team was merely channeled after Lennon/McCartney. It does not mean that only Jagger and Richards wrote the song. While I agree that Jagger and Richards often laid out the blueprint for many of the songs (and spent more time in the mixing room than the other bandmates), the contributions that Bill, Brian, Charlie, and Mick Taylor (as well as numerous guest players) made on some songs cannot be overstated. Taylor was robbed of many songwriting credits, and we know Bill was key in the creation of Paint it Black and Jumpin' Jack Flash.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 It's a quality to play with great musicians for me and if you prefer I will say that 90% of the songs are written byJagger/Richard.
@@Methilde always the same lot questions when ever Brian comes up
@@fuchsiaswing8545 totally. Brian may not write lyrics, but nobody can tell me he didn’t contribute to composing the music and some of the arrangements. Fact is, Jagger and Richards had Andrew as the manager and Andrew wanted to be rich, so he modelled the cash machine on the Beatles and that meant their very own Lennon McCartney outfit. They got away with it because Brian was an artist and while he contributed immeasurably, he was also interested in hanging out and actually driving the swinging 60s culture (sex, style, drugs, rock n roll). Bill and Charlie contributed significantly as well but they aren’t rock the boat guys. Mick and Keith did the same thing to mick Taylor that they did to Brian Leverage his talent and ideas and make empty promises for song writing. I dig mick and Keith and they are very talented, but that ole Brian didn’t write or contribute line is crap told by the two protecting their legacy against a guy not around to defend himself.
Charlie is such a lovely bloke i could listen to him for days. Seriously there's something about him... a genuinely good guy. He deserves all of his success. :) I hope he lives for a another 20 years.
I'm not old enough to know what Mick was like back in the day. I only know the grandpa Mick. :D But tbh i understand why some Celebs especially Rockstar types sometimes lose their way. I think staying grounded is really difficult when you get told constantly that you are the greatest...
Ander, come on 20 years, how about 101 years, we need Charly to stick around, he makes the world right
I hope far more than 20 years!!! And in amazing health!!!
Unfortunately the best die first.
Sadly no :( Rip Charlie (24 August 2021)
What an incredible odyssey it has been for this eclectic man. His shyness and no small amount of humbleness has endeared him to his band mates and to the fans. His skills are praised from many very fine musicians. I’ve had the privilege to meet him and speak with him and even give him a gift. I will remember that as long as God gives me.
Such a gentleman.
He's been the 'class' of the organization straight through, for sure.
Aloha +steve gamlin +willie gordon. yeah, always well put together; well groomed, the natty dresser. Speaks in measured tones, hes's not demonstrative or insulting. Doesn't ft the "type" of a brawler-nor the image of a street fighting man..well, not sooo much the into the heavy physical damage scene at all! Yeah, cool head and cool hand. Humm, yeah, give him all that, for sure..but, unless? well, you know! Just the single, 3:00am one punch false-crack knockout, delivered on mick's jaw, with the warning to, "never call me your drummer. You're my singer" mahalo for the set up guys! Aloha.
he covered for bill being a phedo
Yes he is!
You're right
He was just so goddamn handsome and dignified and cool. Holy shit I'm gonna miss him.
Charles Robert Watts. One of the gentlemen of rock.
The “Wembley Whammer” as I heard Mick reference once.
Yes ....one woman since 69 ....or much earlier. ...
Almos lived normal. ...
As it was possible. ....
Because he is a rolling stone .....lol
Hello Chris, how are you doing and what is the weather like? I wish you a happy weekend.
@@allysonhanks9159 Hi Allyson, I am fine thanks. Where I live in California the weather is cool and mild. Getting a nice breeze. How about you?
@@chrisbacos Hi Chris. I'm in New York now to see my godmother. I live in Long Beach CA, nice to meet you here. It's cool here in New York too about 20 degree outside. I hope you don't mind us chatting sometimes to get to know each other? Looking forward to talk to you in the morning goodnight.
There you have it from Charlie Watts - how Brian Jones pushed himself for his band to get the gigs, even when perhaps no openings available but still enthusiastic to get his band heard!
RIP, Charlie. Thank you for all the wonderful music.
R.I.P. Charlie Watts
What an amazing drummer and such a beautiful and respectful human being. Thanks for your carrier and talented legacy.RIP the best drummer ever.💚🙏
Charlie Watts - the anchor of the Stones.
My sincere condolences to the family, band mates and friends.
R.I.P. Charlie, wherever You are - and keep on keeping the beat!💜
What a lovely man, I would love to sit down have tea with him.
Oh yeah, lovely man: He used to throw snakes on unsuspecting groupies... real charmer this guy.
Never heard that before . If he did that would have been 40 -50 years ago. People change , seems gentle enough now.
BS what is your source of factual information?
...after which i will drive him around in one of his vintage cars.
"What a lovely man, I would love to sit down have tea with him." Exactly!
RIP Charlie you were a brilliant unassuming rockstar, great interview as he was allowed to talk
What a gentleman!! Actually, by all accounts which I have read, it wasn't Charlie who was drunk when he hit Mick. Mick was & said something like -- you're MY drummer. Charlie immediately left hotel room, went to his room & dressed in Saville Row suit, complete with cravat, returned to room, punched Mick and said, "you're MY singer". Love it!!!
according to keith . charlie was asleep in his room around 2am when a drunk mick rang charlie and said hows my drummer , charlie then gets up and around twenty minutes later walks into the room immaculately dressed and clocks mick along with the famous "your my singer" reply, Keith claims he grabbed mick to stop him falling over a railing into a pool and calmed charlie down , according to keith the fact that mick was wearing keith's wedding coat and he didn't want it ruined was the reason he grabbed Mick and stopped charlie from giving him another smack , if you can believe that last bit.
What a consummate professional and a great personality he had! He had perfect cadence, great fills and a certain swing to his playing. Started listening to the Stones 42 years ago when I was 8 years old and been listening to Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile, Black and Blue, Some Girls and Tattoo You all on loop since I heard the news...I focused on the drumming this time and heard new things, as always, from Charlie that I didn't catch the hundreds of times before. In fact, I've spent more time listening to the Stones than to my own family and friends. Rest in peace, Charlie!
You can see how he loves talking about Brian
It has been great for the Stones to have an anti rock star in their line-up. The Stones are very much rhythm driven and Charlie's hard won individuality and jazz inflected skills have been perfect for the band. To be faithfully married for 50 odd years is very refreshing.....
Wearer of sharp suits.....he is nobody's fool and an absolute treasure.....
Long Live Charlie......
E
thx greatest rock and roll band of all time, its Charlie's great contribution
I really enjoyed that. What a nice guy.
Legend . A true gentleman and the engine room of the band.
R.I.P. Charlie.
All the superstars of the rock world could learn a lot from Charlie nice man amazing personality
What a totally cool guy. An absolute gentleman.
always and forever my favorite drummer charlie
Charlie is a treasure. I'm on the verge of 59 and I've been a Stones fan since I was a kid. Please take care of yourself Charlie. We love you and thanks for being a classy individual. Congrats on being married for over 50 years to the same woman. True and solid commitment to marriage vows in a career with so much temptation.
"I think they could get another drummer"
Charlie, with all due respect, you are the only person on the planet who thinks that.
Keep on drummin`Charlie. God bless you all.
Oh he has. God took good care of those British lads.
What a lovely man, a true gentleman. Wish him well and good health. Thank you Charlie Watts for your many years of being a good part of the musical backdrop to my life.
Good to see Brian Jones getting due credit.
Charlie was really touched by Brian's death and the way Brian had been treated during in the end.
kudos
Keith was kind of cold about the whole thing. "After all we had been through, you didn't have to go and croak." - Keith on Brian leaving the band shortly before his death.
I do however feel that Brian was the master of his own fate. He enjoyed the success "with reservations." Brian merely wanted to play blues without the reputation and stress of superstardom. In the end, he chose to distance himself from the band and the hype. It still cost him his life. God rest his soul.
He didin't leave the band he was sacked by the others for being impossible to work with
David Glowacki Thats more the case. You are absolutely right. You can sense it on/in/from the reactions to his death by mick and keith.
I use to think "Charlie" was the weird one! Seriously! He was just so, mellow and in that lovely suit and tie playing his drums! Then when my dad told me about his being married to the same woman for so, long,(like child hood sweethearts), and he added, "The Stones" probably would not have survived if it weren't for the stable genius of Charlie" ;) My parent's, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousing, all devoted marriages and great till' deaths. That to me more than anything else! Thank you for being such a prime example of what human's can be and do with the right partner and love!!!!! Kudos!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me??? get another drummer???? No f-n way we love you Charlie!
William Lynd greedy mick would replace Charlie boy 👦, as quick as Jack flash
Even Keith said the secret to the Stones sound is Charlie...the guy is a Swiss watch....and he plays behind the beat. Classic in the pocket.
Steve Jordan ...
Can't replace Charlie. No Charlie - no Stones.
Mike we say Charlie's humble and generous
You know how strong of a personality you have to have in order to balance out the outrageous and flamboyant personalities of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood? Charlie Watts is an absolute titan of a man!
An unassuming, decent gentleman who always had the perfect beat for every Stones song. He never overdrums but he plays in a way that you know he is there making an important contribution to every song.
Hello William, how are you doing and what is the weather like? I wish you a happy weekend.
Such an honest interview and talk. He's a really nice, grounded and honest person - and beside this the real engine of this whole band Rolling Stones .... thanks for sharing this.
A throwback. Class act. The rest of the world can admire guys who abuse drugs, destroy their families and end up in the tabloids. I prefer to look up to musicians of true character, like Mr. Watts.
Rich Boshart Never fear...Charlie isn't perfect in drug dept". I've heard him admit to being all in hard 'n heavy. In some older clips it is clear he is high, but thankfully it didn't last long.
He actually had a heroin problem in the mid 80s. Got cleaned up to keep from losing his marriage.
Bare in mind he had his wild days , but he is from the pioneering days of real musicians and rock stars .
" Charlie's good tonight ain't he " Jagger 1966. It seems like yesterday when I was 19 and talking to my beautiful girlfriend Kathy in 1969 about how much longer the Rolling Stones would last it was almost seven years already, and here we are 49 years later and they are still performing and all alive, after all the sex and drugs except for Brian (God bless).
Hello Gerald, how are you doing and what is the weather like? I wish you a happy weekend.
We knew this day would eventually come, but silently hoped it never would. The man is gone but his legacy lives on.
R.I.P. Charlie. Thanks for the memories and the music.
I';ve been drumming since '67 and Charlie and Ringo were my biggest influences at that time. The best groover that seemed to be timeless.....it's a sad day, RIP Charlie Watts
Charlie is my darling. Class man, great drummer, effortless style.
This is what we needed is to hear his story and we need to be focusing on him, not the rest of the band. RIP Charlie Watts🙏
I do always love an interview with Charlie Watts. Thanks for the one's you give Charlie!
Hello David, how are you doing and what is the weather like? I wish you a happy weekend.
Charlie is a fine gentleman and excellent musician.
RIP the coolest jazzy drum player.
Thank you Charlie. Thank you to his family, his friends & everyone who helped & supported him so he could bring his work & playing to all of us. The Rolling Stones convinced me to BE a musician, singer & songwriter in 1981 when Tattoo You came out. Me & my friends talked our 5th grade teacher into letting us borrow the phonograph player from the school library, we put on the LP & air banded the whole album for the class on a rainy day for indoor lunch recess. I was Mick. I was never the same after hearing that record.
What a unique drummer Charlie is & was. He sounds & seems like an interesting & special person, and a regular guy. This is not the end of a wonderful thing that will go on forever, but it sure feels like it for a terrible moment, and will certainly be the end of the opportunity to see greatness like this & his on the earth in person. Every passing day & soul I yearn for heaven & the afterlife more & more. Thank God for that. I used to be scared to die. Now I'm actually quite excited to see, be with, and hear them all again. Rest peacefully, Charlie...a little anyway...and then get back to what you do up there. We'll miss you for now.
How humble....he cannot be replaced
I could listen to Charlie for ever... such an unassuming guy considering he is in the band he is in???...I love the fact he goes back to his everyday life after historic record breaking tours!!!...and one of the most understated drummers ever!
Charlie has always been my favourite Stone. He is very down to earth and shows no arrogance in his interviews.
rest in peace to the absolutely amazing pioneering man: The Charlie Watts. You will surely be missed❤
Charlie and Bill the ultimate bottom. I can distinctly remember hearing Stones live 1964 tour. The bass and drums were a cut or two above the norm. Solid!
I could listen to him for hours. Hes a brilliant and totally unpretentious raconteur
He is such a gentleman. Always so good to hear him speak.
R.I.P. Charlie you were a lovely person.
If the Stones called it quits..each and everyone of us would lose a part of us...they are so interwoven into the DNA of most of us.
Charlie Watts and Ringo Starr are very similar. Human metronomes. Perfect senses of time. Very under-rated drummers, very under-rated styles. They don’t indulge in all that over-the-top flash, they keep the beat solid with some subtle, often complex stuff. And personalities to help keep a band glued together. No Charlie, no Stones. No Ringo, no Beatles.
Tim Tibbitts 70
it always the drummers
Tim Tibbitts! You're describing a back-up musician. No Noel Redding, no Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Well Said. Absolutely Amazing Mr. Watts ❤️
I agree with this 💕
Sorry to hear that you left this planet you will always be in our hearts you great 👍 drummer 🥁
Hope you can see Brian wherever you're going now Charlie.
R.I.P Charlie 🥁⚘
Very down to earth guy…
Irreplaceable kind, humble and pleasant gentleman of Rock Music for the Rolling Stones, a big loss for them and also to the world . R.I.P. Charlie All Fans miss you alot !!!
Charlie the reluctant Rock Star . But what a simple man . He does not live in the fast lane , ones cars and does not drive and is not caught up in the modern world too much and seems quite happy to be where and what he is . Amazing drummer , very humble and honest about the band the music and interviews . I love watching him and hearing him when he does speak.
Never a huge Stones guy, but I always found Charlie to be a regular guy, someone you could have a beer and a laugh with. May the Lord greet you with open arms you fine man.
I love this fckin guy. "I really don't talk about the Stones much." Classic Charlie
My "Charlie Watts And His Fabulous Rolling Stones" t-shirt is a prized possession. What a guy. :-)
Wouldn't be the Stones without Charlie. My wife loves him.
Rest In Peace. This is the end of an era.
What a sweet, humble person.
Great interview, NME, and I happened to think: that's the most I've ever heard from him, in the zillion years I've been a fan.
Doug Barde-Mac.
Actually there are quite a lot of Charlie interviews these days, on YT. There's a good one with him taking us through his beloved drum set up ( on stage), and a very good one called 'If it Ain't got that Swing' talking about his style and influences. Well worth looking up. Also look up 'ABC & D of boogie woogie' with his life long friend, bass player Dave Green. Recommended!!
Hello Doug, how are you doing and what is the weather like? I wish you a happy weekend.
So much class! The classiest rockstar in the world if you ask me!
Charlie always spoke most honestly about Brian, I appreciate that. 8:41
