No One Impressed Charlie Watts, Not Even the Stones

Rock’s ultimate drum god didn’t want the spotlight. He was there to do a job, which was knocking people off their feet, night after night, year after year

This news is like a sharpened drumstick through the heart.

I just heard the news on XM on the way home.
Absolutely devastating.
I’ve been a fanatic since I first heard them in 1963. As a young fan Charlie was my favorite.
Charlie, a great human being who is the heart and the engine of The Rolling Stones.
My heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends, band mates and his family of fans.
Thank you Charlie.

Rick

If they continue and tour Europe next year you know it's a money grab and nothing else. Very sad circumstances ! I love them live as much as anyone but I agree with Voodoo...........an ERA has ended. I'm glad that I was along for the ride. I'm glad that I met him on a flight from Amsterdam to London in 2003, while securing a photo in Heathrow with him! He epitomized High Class. We'll all miss him.

ironic that he left us 18 years to the day after that concert at Twickenham - where my unused ticket was the one you got him to sign at Heathrow!

Forty years to the day since the release of Tattoo You also. we'll never forget this anniversary, thats for sure.

Had a lovely chat with him for a few minutes at the band's hotel in Lisbon - bizarrely not about music, but about George Best, which he initiated after he saw George's picture on my t-shirt and heard my Belfast accent. I'll always treasure that encounter.

Can you share what he said about Bestie, Gazza?

Basically asked me if I'd ever met him and conversed for a couple of minutes about what a 'lovely man' he was.

Somber greetings, my RO friends.

Just like all of you I have a heavy heart. Today brought the shock, the sadness and the reflection of the loss of a good man. Charlie was, and always will be, a 101% Class Act of a human being. My heart goes out to his family, friends and bandmates. And to all of you, as well. We share the same admiration and I know how you feel.

Thank you, Charlie.
God has blessed you and will keep you.

i think its telling that neither mick nor keith has yet found words that they
want to share with us.

i think it underscores the gravity of this situation for them both personally
and professionally

i'm glad that people here are generally refraining from trying to tell them
what they should or shouldnt do

i wish more of the IORRaqis were being similarly respectful
