A Sense of Doubt blog post #2381 - Rolling Stone drummer Charlie Watts - RIP - one of the GREATEST



A Sense of Doubt blog post #2381 - Rolling Stone drummer Charlie Watts - RIP - one of the GREATEST

Sad to hear of the passing of Charlie Watts, one of the greatest drummers in rock 'n roll history.

I have not written much of the Rolling Stones on this blog, though I consider them hands-down, inarguably one of the TOP FIVE greatest rock 'n roll bands of all time. The others are the Who, the Beatles, U2, and Led Zeppelin. With the next tier including the Clash, unless we consider them more "punk."

Collecting every Rolling Stones studio album has been on my to do list for many years.

Time to get that done.

Thanks Charlie.

Charlie Watts, RIP

Here’s an obit from Variety. I’m sure in the next few days we’ll see many more.

He was one of the best drummers, in rock or outside it, and equally, the coolest drummer in rock by far. He dressed for the job he wanted, and the job he had.

And while there are any number of performances of his to list as the best, here’s my personal favorite, from “Start Me Up,” where the initial snare hit is as iconic as the opening guitar riff. It all works exactly as it should, and Watts makes a magnificently on-point drum performance look like no big deal. It’s a big deal, folks. Behind the preening of Jagger in the video is Watts’ rock-solid beat. You couldn’t have the first without the second.

- Days ago = 2245 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
