- Watts played with the Stones from the 1960s until his death. His performances on songs like “Paint it Black” and “Gimme Shelter” made some say he was one of the best drummers of all time.

One of the coolest drummers ever. RIP Charlie, you will be missed
He died of throat cancer not COVID. I hope another drummer replaces him. Another singer/musician to make five again too. But not during the COVID-19.
R.I.P. Sir Charlie.

Charlie is exactly who we think of when we speak of great drummers!!
fact
Puts on a suit in the middle of the night, to go down and punch Mick. That's amazing! RIP
HE WAS LIKE THAT CHARLIE ! ...
That's why the Stones lasted. Charlie kept them all grounded... well as grounded as the Stones could be. Some of them might be divas to others... but not to each other.
Never happened
@@GGT950 ...sorry but thats just a stupid comment...
...its not about if it really happened just like that or not...in the end you werent there so you just dont know...end of...
...its like loads of other stories...Mick and the Bowies in bed, Keiths Shepherds Pie, Keith Moon, the car and the pool...whatever...let it be...
Because, as a gentleman, he punched Mick; Mick insulted his dignity as a gentleman and so Charlie responded as a gentleman. It's called: CLASS and Charlie had it.
Rock n Roll will never be the same. The stones have 4 generations of fans in my family. RIP Mr. Watts.
Charlie was the epitome of the old adage, "90% of success is just showing up." And show up he did, indeed. For 57 years. Every show. Every rehearsal. Every studio take. It is a fitting exit that he should leave us before ever seeing someone else upon his throne.
We are all somehow lessened by this man's passing, and have a lot of ground to cover to make it up.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Watts.
You have certainly earned it.

Once the sadness fades a little i think we will all remember him with a smile.

@@joycesutton5431 ...are you on drugs?
I was smiling some even watching this, but yeah, right now it’s kind of a sad smile. Pure legend, that man.
Like the old saying goes.
I'll be happy again some day.
Just not today. 😢
I think your right buddy.
Rest in Peace Charlie. More than 50 years I've been with you.No one can replace you. You will remain forever in our hearts and memories.You will live Forever.No one can take your place. Rolling Stones I grew up with you.
Dave grohls fans disagree
@@edsnotgod the same can be said for Grohl one day to. In his own right. Respect the founders because without people like the Stones? There is no Dave Grohl.
NATURAL IMMUNITY IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!!
👍👍👍
@@edsnotgod ...why would they...no one would even know about Dave Grohl without the Rolling Stones and Charlie Watts...
In tears. Rock, jazz, class, love oozed from the man's every pore. Every rhythm, every fill, every nuance on his hi-hat, every time he moved a drumstick or kicked the bass drum was dead on perfect according to the song, and that extra little drag or groove he could put on a song is the hallmark of a truly great drummer that no mere technician can ever pull off. I learned tons from him about percussion and being a gentleman. What the Stones have given the world is immeasurable and so is what Charlie gave the Stones. The world is a poorer place for his passing. We not only lost a great musician and human being, The Stones died in a sense today, because despite their many amazing incarnations, without Charlie Watts there is no real Rolling Stones. A truly sad day for anyone who loves music or aspires to higher consciousness. Tears keep flowing. Long live Charlie Watts.
Beautifully put for a beautiful soul.
He would have lived long if he had stayed away from those heart surgeons !!!
😭😭👍
Loved him. He totally anchored that band…never knew just how much until I first saw them Live in concert. Masterful. Subtle power, but it truly held the whole thing together. Rest easy, Charlie. And thanks for the memories. The music never dies, and you therefore left us with an embarrassment of riches.
Another legend gone too soon!
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Another bites the dust :(
@@basketballadigonzalez5561 ya seems like every few months now we lose a legend
no offence - but he was 80... that's a pretty good inning by anyone's standards.. And Charlie got more than most out of life I would bet.
@@kaiberberich1 I agree
he was 80
RIP Charlie, I always respected his calm and cool presence - with a gentle smile and his powerful skill as one of the best drummers.
Humble and genuine person.
ua-cam.com/video/2Tv_QywXlcg/v-deo.html.
The drum solo at the intro of "Honky Tonk Women" was hard to beat. Best drum solo in the history of rock and roll. Rest in peace, Charlie.
A true loss for the Stones and all who love them.
RIP Charlie. You will be missed. :/
I am a product of the fifties and sixties. I have seen many of the greates come and go. But the Stones in my head would live forever! Short of an accident or major incident The stones would play forever! Charlie kept the beat! Though a bit Jazzy was in his soul he rocked out like no other. You can talk about the great ones! The Beatles-Gone/ Elvis Gone/ Queen while still here Gone without Freddie! It seemed impossible for The Stones to leave this planet. The rest of the Team is still there but the heartbeat is different now.
My take away is Thank You Stones for 50 plus years and may this group rock into eternity! I am heartbroken and sad for the stones,the fans (and selfish me, for me too!) Life goes on but now to a slightly different beat. I toast you Charlie and thank you for all the joy you have brought to me.
I am an old fart but still a captive of the STONES!
Rock on Guys Rock on Charlie!

Such a loss and such a classy man. Too bad that there are so few like him.
A class act.
😔 Music lost a big one today. R.i.P
The heart beat of the Rolling Stones.
"Charlie is my darling" - RIP and thanks for everything
RIP Charlie Watts 1941-2021🥁💔😭💔

RIP Charlie, you will be missed by all of us!!!
I stood 10 feet away from him years ago - on a sidewalk in Toronto. He radiated calmness, modesty and class. All Stones fans loved and respected Charlie.
Mate..... I knew you were sick but....... You will always be the one and only rock of the rolling stones. RIP rock in peace from New Zealand.😎
R.I.P. Charlie Watts...Phenomenal man and drummer.
It's a sad irony that Charlie was the first to go (Brian Jones notwithstanding). He led the cleanest life of all of them. He was also married to the same woman for almost 60 years, and according to Bill Wyman's autobiography "He was always 100% faithful to Shirley."
Mick led the cleanest life. Charlie Watts was a heavy drug user into the 1980s. Mick dabbled briefly in the 60s and stopped.
We lost the drum beat of a whole generation! RI.P. Charlie
This is one of the guys who plays the soundtrack to your life and you never realized it untill it's too late.
rest in peace Charlie, i know you will be looking down on your bandmates and shaking your head at them like you always did,because they are crazy!
Charlie boy ⚰️☠️💀 he gone
Sad .. Was always the coolest member.

He seemed like a calm guy

"Your my singer" -Charlie Watts
You're, as in You are!
I'm so sorry. He was my favorite . I liked the smile that he kept on his face at all times. My condolences to all.
Charlie was a true gentleman and definately the heartbeat of the band.
I remember meeting you and the other Stones in 1963 in Manchester, UK.
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.
The world will sorely miss you.
Charlie, you brought so much to the Stones, your style, class, dedication, focus, kept it together. I admired you from afar and appreciate what you brought to the music world. You will be missed Charlie and my condolences to your family.
Rock n Roll can never die with greats like Charlie Watts

A real English gentleman who valued his family relationships over being a rock star.
My favorite Stone because of his witty personality.
I’ve always said “Mr Watts could do so much with so little” Used a basic drum kit
The world lost a good man ❤️🥰😍
Indeed, the finest of Englishmen.

LEGENDS NEVER DIE
I heard of Charlie Watts passing away. He was a outstanding musician and a valuable asset to the Rolling stones. May we celebrate his life and accomplishments. Thank you. You will be missed. As of now I will play every Rolling stones song as a way to pay my respects to you. My prayers go out to your family. R.I.P. 🙏😭😭😭😭💐💐💐💐💐💐
Charlie was the 'integrity' side of rock and roll. A music that has helped to shape much of the country, much of the world in questioning things like life, authority on all levels. Charlie was called the 'rock' of the band much like what glue is to surfaces in keeping something together. And that was, and still is, important to this groundbreaking genre of art and those who have thrived on it. Charlie was a human being, but also part of a huge symbol, a symbol that will continue on into future generations no doubt. Whether it be rock, the Stones or Charlie himself, we as a society would benefit by maintaining these stories poetically because in reality? They maintain who we are as we look back at our pasts. Stones forever.
It was big loss for rock'n roll
R.I.P. Charlie Watts
Well said. I love Charlie watts. He was their foundation.
Best drummer period. Rest in peace Charlie. Thank you for all the amazing music. Love you Charlie.
I am glad I got the chance to see him with The Rolling Stones on the Urban Jungle tour in Gothenburg 1990. They sold out Eriksberg in Gothenburg, for two nights, saw the second night. He was truly great in The Rolling Stones and kept the band together great with his drum beat. Great night in Gothenburg and great career, Mr. Charlie Watts. Thanks for your great music, R.I.P.
What a Loss much love and my condolences the loss of the legend...RIP.
Nuestro corazón está triste, nuestras condolencias y nuestro amor a sus familiares y amigos, la familia Díaz de México está de luto por esta dolorosa perdida.
Por siempre, vivan los Rolling Stones ❤️👅
Rest In Peace Charlie you will always be remembered. Play those drums so we can still hear you where ever you may roam. 🎶 🥁 🥁
Rest in peace Charlie Watts, thank you for the music.
So glad I took friends family and lover to see them twenty plus times. Amazing, irreplaceable times. RIP dear Charlie.
ua-cam.com/video/2Tv_QywXlcg/v-deo.html.
Twenty plus times? Wow! And how many times did you see the Beatles, the Doors, and Led Zeppelin?
RIP
2021 really sucks we lost so many music legends God really must be wanting to start another band
Your right, it's 2 or 3 a year now. But we all get to the cane and false teeth stage. Keep playing those vinyls, I still have a bunch too. Luckily, I can still find needles for my old Garrard.
@@ufafgd for sure now he is at peace with Brian Jones
Thanks Charlie for all the music over the years the stones will miss you forever sad loss rip Charlie 🙏
R.I.P. Charlie,your legscy is immense,thank you for the music,the memories,the dignity
Rip greatest drummer in the world Charlie
We are all truely grief stricken and in genuine deep mauning for you here in South Africa... I remember that incredible 8 and a half minutes of standing ovation you got at the that first of two wonderful 'best ever' concert, of only two concerts - played at the Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg... Thank you Brother for the 100s and 100s of hours of absolute listening bliss you abd the Stones have given us. Will miss you terribly just can't get the lump in my throat to go away.... You set a very very high bar, well done Brother - God speed.
Charlie Watts didn't need Rock n Roll.
Rock n Roll needed *him.*
That's how cool he was.
Not quite sure how to express my feelings. I am so sad, Charlie was the premier rock and roll drummer and a true gentleman. You will be missed Charlie. Thanks for all you did for both the Stones and your fans. I could go on and on but everyone is expressing my feelings here. You were the Stone EVERYBODY liked....and for good reason. Rest in Peace Charlie. I hope to see you play again when it's meant to be. Peace Charlie.
"don't ever call me 'my drummer'' .....i love that quote
That happened a long time ago, back in the 60s or 70s. The narrator should have said so.
@@basilmarasco1975 why, does it matter ?
@@ruudvanmontfoort4485 Because it is something that would not happen when they were older. They were all more mellow. Yet, while the man is telling the story, they are showing pictures of Charlie with gray hair.
@@basilmarasco1975 it does not change the funny story.

As a drummer he was one of the best RIP 👍🙏🥁
Definitely the heartbeat and engine that drove the band at a tempo that 'he' desired..and he knew it as you could see it in that philosophical smile..thanks for the memories Charlie boy..RIP
RIP Legend. He’s drumming with my Dad.
Charlie watts and his drums were one unit keeping the stones in tempo mr watts will live on in the hearts of the band the music and there fans rip mr watts 🥁 thank you for the music
Just finding out of Charlie Watts. Very sad. Loving the Rolling Stones forever,Charlie Watts especially. Such a laid back, smooth, classy drummer. Rest Easy Charlie. Job Done Well
I’m so sad that I only got into the stones a year ago. Hopefully I’ll get to see the surviving stones.
They are on tour
The good news is you have an incredible treasure trove awaiting your exploration and discovery. No one can match the Stones breadth, depth or impact over the past 57 years. They cast a long shadow and left us - and you - with an amazing collection of songs; lots are rockers, but many are exquisite ballads, along with great blues and country tunes as well. Enjoy listening in depth to the 'world's greatest rock n roll band'.
Binge the Stones for Charlie
A massive loss, rip :(
I've seen the Stones 17 times,in 8 different states R.I.P. CHARLIE WATTS,YOU WERE THE BEST
your sick
RIP Mr. Watts. I heard that Mick Jagger once called you "just" his drummer. Well sir, you were THE drummer, and the heart and soul of the band. This is coming from a bassist, who couldn't perform as well without the likes of you sir.
One of the greatest drummers in rock and roll history.
I remember it so well. I heard the opening riffs of "Get Off My Cloud" when I was 14 years old and I said "That's my kind of drummer." Charlie was always so non-challan and stone faced at times and he seemed to just be laughing the whole thing off, all the antics of Keith and Mick. It was a joke but he was in on it. Ringo was right there, a great drummer, but Charlie always hit the downbeat. RIP buddy. I hope I meet up with you when I get up there and I get a chance to jam with you. That would be nice.
Rest in peace... now you can say "Hi my old friend. Its been a long time. Now that we both are here, let's rock and roll together again." At last... Charlie and Brian meet again. This time in heaven.
CHARLES AND STONES ARE FOREVER THE BEST ONES.
One of the best in the business of any era! I am honored to have seen the Stones four times, and Charlie’s playing so well complimented all the others in the group.
Charlie Watts wird der Musikwelt genau wie mir fehlen.Ich habe ihn 60 Jahre in Presse Funk und Fernsehen begleitet. Ich bin schon den 3.Tag in Trauer um einen der besten und größten Drummer den es in der Musikszene gab.Mach gut Charlie.
RIP mi amigo Charlie. My condolences 💐 to his family. The graters drummer of all times. I was a little kid back in the sixties when I started listening to your music.
Charlie Watts was never the most flashy drummer. He wasn't known for the frenzied solos of Cream's Ginger Baker, or for placing explosives in his kick drum like The Who's Keith Moon. Instead, he was the subtle, stoic heartbeat of The Rolling Stones for almost 60 years. We all Brazil fans will miss Charlie. RIP 🇧🇷
Hello Charlie, simple and honest man.
R.I.P man, can’t find the right words
The right words will never be there for a man like this.
"Gentleman" comes close.
I play music since listening song " Angie" 1976, and finally I met Bill Wyman ( bassist of the rolling Stones inb1982 in Bali, played a song with Bill ) and love the rolling Stones from that time. RIP Charlie 🙏
Thanks Charlie The Best Drummer
In the world so sad heartbroken
Rest in peace
His simplicity and humility made him a man one could only appreciate. Yet his talent was that of a giant who cannot be replaced.
Some of the other Stones seem unpleasant characters but Watts came across as a decent man. RIP.
Charlie always looked put together and immaculate. That kind of style takes some work.
Een legende is niet meer!!! Hoop dat de Stones nog door gaan!!💐💐☀️☀️Alles word anders!! Hij ruste in vrede!!💙💚😭🇱🇺🇱🇺
He couldn't possibly have had a better life...in the spotlight for 60 years, multi-millionaire, traveled the world over, power players for friends, one of the world's best dressed men...sophisticated dude. This ain't no tragedy!
