“People say I play real loud. I don’t, actually. I’m recorded loud and a lot of that is because we have good engineers. Mick knows what a good drum sound is as well, so that’s part of the illusion really. I can’t play loud.”

“People say we risk nothing going back out on the road. But we risk reputation, and that’s everything… You miss the road when you’re not on it. Then you get back, and you’re fed up right away. This is the worst bit. Rehearsal. You never know if the band still clicks until you get before a crowd.”

“I’m lucky to have been with Mick and Keith. There’s a magic about them that people like. They always argue, but they always love each other. They know each other so well. When I say they argue, they don’t actually, but there’s always a difference of opinion. They’re two totally different people.
3. Charlie Watts – The Rolling Stones
Once jazz started giving way to the world of rock and roll, The Rolling Stones were a far cry from what Rich was doing. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had the blues as their foundation for rock and roll, and no amount of easy-listening music was going to get in the way of a great guitar riff. Charlie Watts could certainly lay down a groove, but his background in jazz led to him throwing on Rich at any opportunity.

“Charlie’s always there, but he doesn’t want people to know. There’s very few drummers like that. Everybody thinks Mick and Keith are the Rolling Stones. If Charlie wasn’t doing what he’s doing on drums, that wouldn’t be true at all. You’d find out that Charlie Watts is the Stones”

“I certainly can’t claim that I came from a musical family. My dad was a lorry driver for British Railways and I reckon the only instrument any of them could play at home was a gramophone…. I’d been brought up on Johnny Ray which I thought was great. I’d seem him and people like Billy Eckstine. All that. That’s what my parents loved. But then to go into Earl Bostic – that was something.

“One of the flaws of my game is that I never learned to play. I learned by watching. I had to go to school and learn how to do it. I had to go to classes. I learned to see great drummers in London … and American players when they came.”
Anyone going into the studio with a group is usually looking to capture those few minutes of magic. No artist has to be perfect behind their instrument, but if they find a good riff where everyone is firing on all cylinders, that’s the take that becomes the hit that everyone is going to want to play every time they turn on the radio. The Rolling Stones usually had more than a few of those moments, but Charlie Watts knew that recording a hit like ‘Honky Tonk Women’ was something that could never happen again.
The Rolling Stones established themselves as a live act, first and foremost. Although they ventured into creating studio masterpieces like The Beatles, the true measure of success was their ability to deliver these works to a live audience. Much of their classic material captured their raw essence in the studio, yet not everything translated seamlessly to the stage. As Charlie Watts recalled, ‘Mother’s Little Helper’ was one such track that they couldn’t just play on the fly.
