OldTrucker Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Stone's drummer Charlie Watts passed away this morning at the age of 80. He was my inspiration for picking up a set of sticks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Always fun to watch the opposite actions of Watts and Jagger. Watts almost looked bored playing the drums while Jagger looked like he was let loose from a cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Charlie Watts, one of the greats in pop music. Faithful to his wife who he married in the sixties right to the end. Charlie was more at home in jazz clubs where there was a more intimate atmosphere than in vast stadium cocerts. Technically a brilliant drummer who just got on with the job rather than being a thrashing machine like Keith Moon and Ginger Baker were. The Rolling Stones will not be the same without him. They must rate as the longest lived blues rock group in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
