Ron Wood & Charlie Watts (The Rolling Stones) | The Story Behind The Song | Top 2000 a gogo

Guitarist Ron Wood and drummer Charlie Watts tells about 'Miss You' by The Rolling Stones. A short documentary by Top 2000 a gogo (Dutch Public TV) from 2011.

[@deezynar]

"It's called being a band." Beautifully said, by a man who understands it's a job.

[@ronalddavidleindecker3358]

Just Ronnie and Charlie, sitting on a couch, being quite humorous and enjoying each other's company.

[@APisceanSlant]

This is perhaps the most natural and hilarious interview of these two, that I've ever seen. 👍🏻

[@clogwog]

I don't know what these guys do to get these natural interviews, but they manage to do it to most of them.. i love this channel

[@uomunumerous2350]

@@clogwog It's common in most Dutch shows. World stars are seen as normal people, but with a nice career and a good story. This typical Dutch approach and their directness and openness apparently has that effect that prominent stars are feeling quite ZEN when around the Dutch.

This made me smile. Great to see such great chemistry and friendship after so long

[@misternoplease]

Old friends. You can imagine them getting along, just doing their thing, and that thing working out. Refreshing and genuine.

[@davidnilles3117]

These two are hilarious when they are interviewed together. RIP Charlie.

[@jppagetoo]

The Stones had been a bit of a joke for a few years in the late 70's. Some Girls changed everything. In late '78 and all of '79 they were huge. Miss You, Beast of Burden, and Shattered were everywhere on the radio. Even some of the deep cuts got airplay, When the Whip comes Down and Just My Imagination. Some Girls is still an album I listen to. Good stuff.

[@thomaskemer8109]

Crap!!

[@fabrix7907]

They started to be serious when Mick Taylor join them. They liked to play around but Taylor wanted the job done and get off, that's why he never fit in the band. To him was never fun but only work.

[@dondamon4669]

Fabio Sbacco that’s simply not true. Where have you read that mick Taylor joined and said “cmon now Jagger and Keith none of your messing round I wanna get the job done I’ve got things to do so get writing boys” 😂!.. Taylor had nothing to do with how the stones were run he just contributed cool lead guitar parts as he was the best lead guitarist they had but he was not the songwriter ,arranger or manager of the band as you suggested.... I swear people like you just make things up

[@Methilde]

@@fabrix7907 By work you mean music ?

[@fabrix7907]

@@dondamon4669 Mick Taylor did contribute in the majority of songs written around Keith riffs and created at least three songs which never been credited for. In an interview he did mention what I just said. He left and he made a mistake but he did it for his own health. I was not there and so weren't you I believe, so don't say that I make things up please. Taylor wanted to work when was time to work and have fun when they were off. He was on wages, but he didnt belong to the band as property. That's all.

[@ArieVisker]

Rest in Peace Charlie Watts

[@paulhagger3895]

Weirdly learnt virtually nothing about the song.

[@Ndlanding]

There's not much to learn. Try playing it on an acoustic guitar and you'll see! LOL

[@thomaskemer8109]

Fascinating Interview!!🤥

[@svenlabots1869]

What"d you expect?

[@oo-hj6fj]

Im guessing they were too high to remembee

[@kevingruenofficial]

How did you write the song?: ... 5 minutes of classic incoherent laughter and redundant answers. You gotta love the stones.

As it should be - there is no "how."

[@LeonTrotsky6782]

What a wonderful conversation. Charlie has been concrete that grounded this band for 60 odd years. 🙌🙌

[@RavnerRavner]

Bill Wyman is the foundation of this song. You'd have nothing without that groove he did.

[@onusgumboot5565]

did wyman play on this song? they used to take his parts off and have someone else do the bass parts. That was one of his complaints about the stones for a long time. keith played bass on sympathy for the devil for instance. Not saying it isn't him this time, just sayin you never really know with the stones

[@sobrevalorado]

They are much better without Wyman

[@BillMcGirr]

I think Ronnie plays bass on this song. I could be wrong... but I believe it was just Ronnie, Charlie and Mick in the studio laying the basic track. And everything else was piled on later.🤷‍♂️💪👍

[@gpc31]

@@BillMcGirr Wyman played bass on the song. He got part of the riff from Billy Preston. Woods played bass on Emotional Rescue and Shattered. Woods is a great bass player (going back to his Jeff Beck days), but there's nothing like Wyman and Watts. When Keef plays the bass, the riff is up front and knocks you out. When Woods sits in (or before him, Taylor), you think "wow, that's a virtuoso line." When Wyman plays, you can't help but move, even if you don't notice the bass. If you listen closely, the guy improvises, ghosts, and does sly and unexpected things to support the song. He was great.

[@daveg4236]

Wyman struggled to get that bass line. Took him a while to find something that worked. The bass drives this song. Without it...not a hit

[@mao2233]

Good to see these two joyful mates after so many years together. I love how comfortable they are ribbing each other. Really enjoyed this video.

[@dan_gabriel]

Oh my God, the Stones are so cool and funny! Love Charlie and Ronnie!

[@Ndlanding]

"Churn out songs" is indeed what they did, for a load of it. But it's mostly good. Ronnie Wood is a great laugh! Respect!!

[@drkronenbongsoddities4969]

118-128 one of those moments where charlie watts shows how much class he has, these guys should do more interviews they are far less pretentious and seem far cooler than mick and keith

[@LaughingStock_]

Absolutely. Mick and Keef are pretentious wankers, Mick in particular. I expected so much more from Keef's autobiog - but it turned out to be a safe, deadly dull, can't-diss-on-Mick bore.

[@mildgrooveon]

I forgot how hilarious they are. Love em.

[@nomchowski8297]

Miss you Charlie... It's good to see Ron and you together. Ron really seemed to have fun being around Charlie as well as looking up to him like an older brother. I'll mis that cool drag Charlie put into all the songs. I saw them live twice and he never let the band get ahead of him.

[@OneManParade]

These men couldn't be me self depreciating or humble. Someone needs to remind them that they members one of the world's greatest bands.

[@daveg4236]

[@frankiebutler2894]

Mr Tibbs As if they gave 2 shits!!

[@andzwe]

They were aware of that for 40, 50 years at this point and knew the dark side of fame all too well. Much better to stay grounded and Watts was a rare example of someone who was able to do that, although he too knew a dark period.

[@johnnyrocker7495]

He's under the influence here. Draw ur own conclusions.

[@GUITARTIME2024]

Miss You had a disco beat, but it really was a laidback funky urban track that also had a kind of "humid city summer night", anything can happen, menacing feel. It has a sultry darkness that fit right in with a New York that was fairly dangerous at that time.

[@Methilde]

I mostly recognized Jagger style in what you say.

[@PinkAmadeus]

Nothing's wrong with the BeeGees; they're underrated to say the least. Miss You may be the Stones' best.

[@leticiarodriguez8416]

Love the STONES. Oh only if my older sister knew I was listening to her albums, she would have killed me, lol.😂

[@OFR]

Hmm, they don't mention Billy Preston, who wrote this song and brought it into their rehearsal. He QUIT the band in fury over them taking it, and Mick once admitted it. Listen to it - it's exactly a Billy style song, taken into the Stones' world. I had a friend who worked with them on their crew in this period, and he told us about this.

[@G0K3001]

Never heard that before,quite interesting really;theirs been talk of that since Mick Taylor. I wonder if they, Preston and Mick later came up with a figure...$$$. I missed Mick admitting it also . THANKS-

[@adamtarleton1537]

Jagger and Richards stole a lot of stuff.

[@lucasoheyze4597]

[@dankauffmanmusic]

It's called "being in a band"

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

Always loved the Rolling Stones, and looking back at their very long career you can see why they've lasted throughout each era. They just knew how to adapt modern music and collaborate with each other. They didn't end up being stuck in a certain era of their own past and only playing hits from their youth.
