10 of Charlie Watts' greatest and most versatile performances, as selected by jemaswad
was the Elvis Presley of rock and roll drumming: There was BC and after, and he can’t be compared realistically with anyone who followed because he’s an integral part of the foundation not just of the “World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band,” but rock and roll itself.
Watts was wry and rock-steady in both his playing and his personality. Never a flashy drummer — he always used a small kit — his whipcrack snare, driving rhythms and preternatural sense of swing powered the band from the day he joined in January of 1963 until.
The Stones have not played a single concert without him since he joined , and released just a handful of songs recorded with a different drummer. The best-known of those, 1974’s “Its Only Rock and Roll,” features Faces/Small Faces drummer Kenney Jones, who played on the jam session that spawned the song , and the group never replaced his part., “I called Charlie up and said, ‘I didn’t mean to play drums on your album.’ He said, ‘That’s okay. It sounds like me anyway.’ He’s a lovely guy, Charlie.
The core of Watts’ and the Stones’ greatness as a band lies in the primal groove they attained on their best performances, a powerful, larger-than-life swing where the rhythm section and the guitars lock in and the entire sound seems to lift off. On tour, the Stones rarely change their setlists after the first couple of gigs, so the quality of the show depends on the degree to which they attain that groove.
