Nothing can replace THE MAN on the drums, I worked in London when I was Young 19 year old till I was 22, A girl friend said she had tickets to watch a great band and would I like to go with her to see them, the company I worked for ICT transferred me back to Newcastle and I never saw them! Until they were in Manchester on last tour? 2017. tickets cost arm and a leg, went with my eldest lad he was 31 and he is a drummer, and a good one, rated Charlie as the best, no frills just steady driving beat preferred jazz to rock, I was 74 at the time felt I should see them once before the grim reaper comes to call, worth ever penny. I'll miss ya Charlie you made me laugh watching the antics of the entertainer out front with a wry smile. The Stones will never be the same...but rock on for gods sake,

[@KayEl58]

Similar story - one of my earliest memories is doing the twist to a Stones song in the living room of my parent's first home, I must have been five or six. Always wanted to see them but fate always had other plans and I missed them time after time. 2014 tour and the ticket prices were astronomical but I wasn't going to miss that one if I had to get a bank loan to do it. I was 57, I took my 22 year old son. I told him these guys are legends and they won't be around forever so see them while you can. They put on a tremendous show, worth every penny. We'll miss Charlie.

@@TadekTedWilson74777 So much for Keith for the last 40 years saying, "No Charlie - no Stones"..."Charlie is the Stones..." etc. Their ego over-rides everything. Considering they were the greatest band in the world by far at one time, they've been creatively redundant for years and haven't made a truly great album since Some Girls in 1978 and 2022 marks their 60th year, now is the right time to call it a day and retire...although many say they should've done that in 1990.

First saw Charlie and the Stones on Ed Sullivan when I was nine, and I'm almost 66. He's always been there. It's going to be weird, but we're lucky we had him as long as we did. Only saw him once in concert 2 years ago. So glad I did. I want to get his jazz ensemble music, too. Cheers, Charlie. All the best to his family and many friends.

I remember seeing The Stones in London on thier '40 Licks' tour. Mick introduced the musicians and the band to the tens of thousands of us watching. He introduced Charlie as 'The Wembley Whammer' and brought him to the front of the stage and gave him the microphone...for a moment poor Charlie looked a little bit lost then put the mic to his mouth and said....."I want to sing a song....but Mick won't let me"...Needless to say Charlie got the biggest cheer and applause I've ever heard in my life. Charlie took a bow as Mick approached laughing and put his round round him before walking back to his drums....absolute legend Mr Watts, may you rock in heaven. God bless you Sir

As it should be Mick. Charlie was never just a “drummer” for the Stones he was the pulse and with the bass player he was the BACKBONE of The Rolling Stones, without any shadow of a doubt!

[@ronalddavidleindecker3358]

I don't think a lot of people understand the partnership of the drummer and bass player within the dynamic of the band itself. If that partnership is isolated and removed from the song the whole song sounds totally different. And not in a good way.

[@olgierdogden4742]

@@ronalddavidleindecker3358 Oh you are so right. And I hope that with both of our comments which point this “audial foundation” in most bands that count out the beats through mainly drums and bass wakes up more people to these essential riggers which bands use.

[@ronalddavidleindecker3358]

@@olgierdogden4742 That's why I play the bass. You hear instruments, but you feel the bass. Same for the drums. Two instruments you feel. Take those out of the song and you lose the feeling of the song. The heartbeat. God speed my friend. Nice chatting with you.

[@olgierdogden4742]

@@ronalddavidleindecker3358 That’s great to hear. It’s funny and I know that my younger brother wouldn’t admit it but I influenced him into learning percussion at the Royal Academy of Music in London because being a young hippie in or around 1970 at least someone knew someone else who had either a set of bongos or even a more serious deal playing Congas. I wish you a long and healthy life playing your bass.

[@alancoe1002]

And Bill Wyman should have been brought back for more than just two songs. They didn't do a sound check and when you watch, you will wonder if his amp was plugged in. That's especially ironic, as the deciding factor of them hiring him originally was that he brought his own amp amd it was better than anything they had. I do understand that there may have been contractual issues because of Darryl Jones. Still, though, more Bill would have been great.
