Sad news, I remember using a variety of household items to try to recreate the intro to Honky Tonk Women when I was a 10 year old.
RIP Charlie.

Absolutely gutted, I missed out on tickets when the played Murrayfield in the late 90's.
I eventually got tickets to see them in Tampa last July, but then Covid hit.
Charlie was, although subtly, an amazing drummer. Discretely (and sometimes not so) dropped his jazz rhythms in to many tracks. Along with Micks voice and Keiths guitar, one of the big talents that made the Stones standout without peers.

I was never in love with that era of guitar music but took advantage of the 'lucky dip' tickets to see them at Murrayfield back in 2018. Blown away by how good they were, a band at that age have no right to be as good as they were.
A very talented drummer and from all accounts one of the good guys.

The way Jagger played the crowd was phenomenal. And the blues improv by Keef and Ronnie stunning.
I do, though, get a bit pissed off with comments about their age. They were one of the first, back in the day when rock n roll was itself very young. Who is to say at what age they "should" stop doing what they do? Particularly if, as in their case, they're still doing it well.

I listened to Last Word on the radio tonight who had managed to quickly get together a nice eulogy. Apparently he was always slightly behind the beat, unusually and deliberately, which gave the band its distinctive sound. They played Honky Tonk Woman and it was clear, what an intro.

"You listen to their songs and think "that's easy. I can play that". And then you try it, and it sounds nothing like them."

I also seen Kris Kristofferson in 2017 and he was absolutely dreadful.

I've always appreciated the Rolling Stones without being a huge fan. I think you can appreciate their musicality and craft without loving them.
I'm sure others are more able and/or inclined to comment on Charlie Watts the drummer. Personally I loved his dress sense. He was a man who knew how to dress. Whether dressed up to the nines in his Saville row suits or going smart casual, he was effortlessly stylish.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years
