Great thread - Charlie is making my day.

sknybrg, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 18:22 (twelve years ago) link

there's some angles/moments in his early years where he looks a little Javier Bardemish, it's very weird/enjoyable

always loved this one, as seen in Q mag in the early 90s

Best-dressed Stone, by a pretty wide margin.

what a PROFILE this guy has, my goodness

Has definitely aged the best.

that's because he looked this old in 1965.

Poliopolice, Thursday, 5 April 2012 15:40 (twelve years ago) link

I have a (very possibly inaccurate) memory of one of those Sunday Times magazine articles from the 80's, 'A Room Of My Own' type of thing, which had him sat at a dining table, or maybe in a high backed chair with a bloody great horse stood beside him.

Wow, so much horse-breeding info about Charlie Watts out there. He bought this one for a million.

eleven months pass...

He just seems like everything you want in a drummer for the Stones. No bullshit.

I love that he hated the hippies because of their clothes. Classic Charlie <3

I think we did our best music with Mick.

You can count on Charlie not to mince words. No other Stone would've just come out and said this.

Yeah, but he hedged:

I obviously can't say if I think Mick Taylor was the best, because it sort of trashes the period the band is in now.

And holy shit at Watts' collection:

I collect jazz mostly. Drum kits as well. I've got one of Kenny Clarke's drum kits that he gave to Max Roach – I bought it off his widow. I have Duke Ellington's, the famous Sonny Greer drum kit, it's fantastic. Big Sid Catlett, one of the great 30s swing drummers, one of his …

The guy's got a significant chunk of 20th century western music history in his house.

one month passes...

Watts turned 72 yesterday; showed the class the Sullivan "Let's Spend Some Time Together" clip this morning (so funny when Jagger sings the chorus and there's a close-up of Wyman rolling his eyes).

Christie's has posted everything that's listed in their auction of Charlie's book collection. It's an eye-wateringly astonishing set of books.
https://www.christies.com/en/events/charlie-watts-gentleman-collector-rolling-stone/

I haven't been able to find a simple text list of everything but I may just buy the catalog. As a booklist, it's cool as fuck.
