Bill Wyman Charlie Watts Rolling Stones interview 1976 tour

[@gazmeistergeneral1991]

Always liked Charlie Watts the most. R.I.P Charlie🙏🏼

[@4theloveofgrace]

Charlie's so normal ...must have been hard to run with the stones...talent and class he is.

[@lordsod69]

He was indeed

[@Finsami71]

9 years later ... I like. Totally.

[@plasticweapon]

*roll* with the stones.

[@bluesfan582]

Down to earth, no nonsense, sensible interview featuring common sense replies and a tongue-in-cheek humorous slant from Bill. Very restrained, in both attitude and lifestyle. Compare that to the shameless love of celebrity status exhibited by a lot of performers in the public eye. Belies the media-projected image of the Rolling Stones.

[@jbstonesfan]

They have always been professional but the bad boy image helped early on.

[@amgjens]

hah you got that right. I remember in a documentary Keith says that Charlie hated the fame and that he wouldn't care if nobody knew the stones, as long as he could make music, that's a true musician, not like a lot of the commercial crap we get nowadays.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

So funny that even in 1976 they were asking them if it was the last tour. Long live The Stones!!

[@BigSky1]

Skycladatdusk78 They have been asking that question since 1971.

[@mikeivey8169]

Me and some friends saw them in 81 on what we thought would be their last tour. Never expected it would continue another 40 years and counting.

[@Skycladatdusk78]

@@mikeivey8169 I first got to see them in 1989 and on the Steel Wheels tour I didn't get why everyone was saying they were so old even then. Mick and Keith were 46, Charlie 48, Ron only 42, I thought they kicked ass at that show and the many times I've seen them since. Now bands play all the time into their 50s, 60s and 70s and it's no big deal.

[@christopherpatefield6150]

@@Skycladatdusk78 The culture has changed. Pop/rock stars of the 1950s and 60's were closer to teenagers in age and were expected to pack it in or become light entertainers (if they could) in their 20's as their audience grew up and were expected to listen to crooners, jazz or classical music etc. The concept of adults listening to teenage music was not a thing back then. There was a big generation gap. However since the 70's audiences have stayed with their favourite bands as they aged together and are not embarrassed about listening to music made originally for teens and 20's.

[@patrickmcguire7929]

Average (most, seemingly) reporters are far more daft than I realized when I was younger.

[@WelshVegan]

Charlie and Bill are my absolute fave interviews to watch. Funny, normal, and brilliant. I think Charlie and Karl Pilkington would be hilarious together !!!

[@thetideishighandsoami3928]

I like Charlie but I hate Bill. He is such a creep, he should be in jail

[@yiannilol]

Usually Bill and Charlie are really reserved. This interviewer must have been quite good to get them to open up like that.

[@lewstone5430]

True.

[@fjbutch]

Charlie always seemed larger than life to me when I was a kid ... Awesome drummer..

[@teacup3133]

Charlie Watts is an adorable man, I always found him fascinating, what a sweetheart. He is alive you know, just not with us anymore.

[@oneeyedtrousersnake8843]

Charlie Watts is one of the coolest people around. He's unflappable no matter the situation and has a tremendous dry sense of humor.

[@Revolver1981]

Ocean Hedonist He's one of the uncoolest rock stars of all time you fool.

[@riccardocondorelli2220]

Well cool is actually another thing, Charlie is just shy and introvert, a "cool" person is Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley or Robert Plant

[@eltatoyo1546]

Riccardo Condorelli pre army elvis was cool. Post army, a real sell out and purveyor of terrible music and garbage movies, waste of talent

[@christopherpennington106]

One Eyed Trouser Snake my favorite stone

[@kathypop4]

@@Revolver1981 You have a warped and pathetic definition of what it means to be cool. This guy is the COOLEST man I've ever witnessed and the other stones don't even compare. If you would watched more interviews with him you'd know that.

[@NAHAJI133]

One of a kind,,,,,A perfect gentleman and one of the most amazing drummer's of our time!

[@jorgealves8319]

Bill was already 40 here. Incredible

[@HumanRiff69]

I've never heard Charlie reveal so much about his life.

[@sratus]

Charlie always seems like a Dickens character to me

[@sholaojeniyi8599]

TrainInVain yeah but I saw a new interview ND he was quite wild and crazy shooting method in the day shooting heroine in the evening. I mean think about it yes,he I think is reserve in projection of his personality but to play with the stones 52 years you know he's insane.lol

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

@@sholaojeniyi8599 YES!! this guy is very very special.. the way he talks reveal it, clenched teeth, almost no move.. could have been a hitman or a priest as well if he wouldn't have met drums.. but very deep guy

[@andzwe]

To the question 'what's the purpose of doing a tour?', he answers: 'I got fed up with gardening.'

[@jackiejones1341]

Charlie Watts was a cool dude. RIP. Thanks for the memories!

[@mikewoodson6930]

I saw the Stones on this tour 45 years ago. The big rumor was: Last Tour... I was front row in the Super Dome, general admission. Had to fight for that position, constantly fight for that position. The stories inside the dome that night are legendary!

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

Charlie laying back that millisecond on the snare hits makes the stones sound......in rock how many drummers can you recognize just playing a straight ahead 4/4 beat? It's always been Charlie watts and his rolling stones

[@bestdrummercharliewatts-ro4351]

very interesting interview:)

[@spiderdancer33]

Charlie--cool--Stones top drummer. Bill- great interview.

[@bobstermaher]

Bill aways seemed like the happiest and down to earth stone out the lot of em. A normal guy.

[@ianshaw2321]

1976 and Charlie is sporting the Mod look and Bill is (still) in his satins and glitter

[@mikeivey8169]

Yes heavy on the eye shadow. Must admit it looked pretty good on him.

[@steveconn]

Bill was only 40 here; amazing.

[@Unsung_Earth]

Looks younger

[@HFijn]

Charlie Watts..gone but never forgotten☝️ R.I.P. CHARLIE WATTS 🙏

[@OUigot]

Bill Wyman said in another interview that Charlie goes days without sleeping, here he looks like he's been 2 or 3 days without sleep.

[@Eddie62070]

[@afrocoolio25]

Pure amphetamine.

[@stonesorbeatles6902]

@2:09 'new fans every year' Mr. Bill was a prophet

[@Tokiofritz]

Man, Charlie went to a dark place, there. What an intense guy.

[@meredumais4934]

Intense yet shockingly “normal” in most respects compared to the rest of the band. At this point he was still sober...didn’t bottom out with excessive drinking and drugs until a few years later. He recovered, thankfully. He was never into the groupie scene, and has been married to the same woman since they were both in their 20s.

[@domenicsidonio8762]

Charlie was pure class. ❤

[@Haroldenriki]

We love you Charlie! 🙏

[@patrickmcguire7929]

Absolute Gold!! Never saw this before. I was just thinking (other day) about a dream I had back in the 80's that they (Stones) picked me up hitchhiking & they were really good dudes & maybe slightly🤏🏻 younger than this, which only put them 10 years ahead. Both (ALL the Stones) had charisma, but all different.

[@celesteanngray]

Good advice for anyone, no matter what their beliefs... I appreciate the sub, Charlie Watts fan... (Charlie he is one of the the greatest drummers on earth, ever) !!!

[@pjdvqq5]

happy 50th Anniversary to the greatest band in the world!

[@tarikzemmouri9670]

Rip great Charlie

[@HumanRiff69]

I agree. They chewed up so many people along the way. Amazing he held in there, probably because Keith decided he liked him. That and the fact that he's a great drummer.

Charlie seems a bit on the nod. This interview was right in the middle of his dables with heroin.

[@lisasmith7530]

I thought it was later on but agreed he doesn't look well and he's not himself here . So glad he recovered and gave us so many memories.

[@krisscanlon4051]

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

Charlie I think was on the gear at this stage....I know he did end up using heroin later on in his career

[@gazza63a14]

he was by the mid 80s but not as far back as this ('76 or so)

[@davideats9255]

Actually I know that he was messing with the hard stuff by this time because Jerry Garcia used to talk privately to his peers about how Charlie always had better gear than Keef around this time. He used to rely on The Stones and Pete Townshend to keep him stocked up in the "Persian Brown" and the pure coke that he could easily convert to freebase in order to be able to tour overseas in Europe etc. without risking the WD's. This routine began around '74 and continued till about the mid to late 80's when they all started to lie to each about sobering up and things got much more clandestine and hush-hush.

[@whatevershebrings]

All you need to do is look at his gaunt, sunken face here to realize he must have been an addict at this point.

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

@@davideats9255 really.. they all ended up lying to each other re being clean? 😯

[@richardmckrell4899]

Charlie Watts basically says if he wasn't so stupid, he'd do something else.

[@huascar66]

No, he doesn't say that. He was being self-effacing, but Charlie Watts was an incredible graphic artist and stage designer (not to mention a very good jazz drummer as well as the best drummer in rock).

[@davidmellish3295]

What drugs were you on to come up with that? He's English,from Wembley,London,how on earth can possibly think he's from the Bronx? How can anyone not know that the stones are British is beyond me.

[@PedroPereira-bt7zo]

About Margo saying Charlie's so normal. Everyone of them are "normal". Those crazy TV, shows... interviews and etc... scenes are "marketing" of the business. Could a rock and roll band with 5 priests exist? Would they call attention to their art? Surely, no. They could make the greatest music, but any of them wouldn't be recognized by the audience as a Rolling Stone life style. that's my point.

Are you sure about that? I'm not saying you're wrong, just wondering where you got that info. I've always heard that Charlie's only vice was drinking.

[@BigSky1]

HumanRiff69 Charlie did take heroin in the 80’s around the time of Dirty Work when Mick and Keith weren’t getting on and they were not working. Fortunately for him and us he saw the light and came to his senses.

[@lisasmith7530]

No ...unfortunately he admitted openly in several interviews that he dabbled in heroin and amphetamines and he's obviously not well here but thank God he broke free. He gave us tons of memories. Just love him.
