He was by far one of the best interviews of the Stones. This is because his honesty and modesty were so unassuming. He really was so incredibly smart, yet still egoless. He realized his career was about the fun of playing well and reduces it down to “juvenile” which is classic Charlie Watts.

"I just played jazz stuff...... really badly I might add" Classic Charlie haha

Charlie Watts is the most beautiful man and humble and intelligent man, and he's the heartbeat of the Stones ❤❤. He's the glue that has kept them together 🎉🎉

He mentioned Jimi and Clapton and not a word about the best guitarist he was playing with at that time: Mick Taylor.

[@baronsaturday9560]

Keef, Ronnie, Chuck, BB, Hooker, Jeff, Thunders, Tom Verlaine, Vini Reilly, Hendrix, Townshend, etc. The best players to me are very recognizable and they're amazing in what they do.. They've got feel. Others are a bit too technical for me with less feel.

It's great that as a lover of "black America" he recommended Darryl Jones and Steve Jordan to the Stones as successors to Bill Wyman and (unintentionally) himself, thus creating a kind of legacy. For the Stones lover, however, the original rhythm section will always remain the ultimate.

Charles Robert Watts (Londres, 2 de junio de 1941-Ib., 24 de agosto de 2021)​ fue un músico y baterista británico reconocido por ser miembro de la banda de rock The Rolling Stones. Permaneció en el grupo desde su ingreso en 1963 hasta su retirada en 2021 poco antes de morir, formando con el cantante Mick Jagger y el guitarrista Keith Richards la asociación más duradera en la historia del rock. Según afirmaciones de Jagger y Richards, Watts era el verdadero líder de la banda.

Lol " do u really want to know this? Cause I ain't going to be brief"

[@rwachwater4408]

Never one for hyperbole, that’s why you listen to every word

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

"Charlie's good tonight ain't he!"

[@mojoboo41]

Whats with the bright light in his eyes?

[@andrewmacdonald3667]

Sunny day in Australia.

[@Methilde]

I've always find Charlie nice but confused guy, somewhere never satisfied. As a drummer he perfectly fit with Stones music but.... A detail when you play with Mick Taylor since 4 years how could you say that lazzy Clapton is the best.

[@Kleermaker1000]

Indeed, unbelievable. Maybe he was afraid of Keith's reaction.

[@baronsaturday9560]

He's honest. He just says who he really loves.. You don't have to please your bandmates who you hear and see for many years, cause it's obvious that you like them. I personally like Ronnie and Keef. A lot of rock&feel.

[@Methilde]

@@baronsaturday9560 I wasn't talking "as a bandmate" but as a musician, of course it's about my personnal taste. Jagger really appreciated Taylor, Jeff Beck and Ry Cooder, a man of well and taste.

[@justinherbert9146]

I love Charlie but he was not even a good jazz drummer - he was the perfect drummer for The Stones and by the 1972 tour he was playing better then ever - but i am sorry if you know jazz drummers - Buddy Rich - even Charlie would admit he would be embarrassed to play jazz drums in Buddy's company. Period. RIP Buddy and Charlie
