Clash Magazine interviews The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts
Clash Editor-in-Chief, Simon Harper, in conversation with Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts from The Rolling Stones to discuss the upcoming No Filter 2018 tour of the UK and Europe.
Who is here binge watching Stones interviews? RIP Charlie 😢
NiminiLP :3:
Charlie seems to be a lot more talkative around Ronnie. God bless both of them
Bryan Arnold:
Ronnie’s modesty is charming, and his respect for - and deference to - Charlie Watts is wonderful to see.
What a fantastic interview. RIP Charlie Watts.
Victor Morgado:
I admire that respect shown by Ronnie towards Charlie, a true classic british gentleman
Billy:
"When the Stones get bigger I'll add more to my kit.." Oh god I'm gonna miss Charlie's humor as much as his playing. This one hurts.
Dogwood:
You can tell Ronnie and Charlie genuinely like each other.
Ruffnek 69:
"Once you start a song, it's Keith, Ronnie and Peter Pan running around the stage"LMMFAO 😂😂 love Charlie's humour
Cüervo:
The World Will Miss you so much Charlie Rest in peace, Legend.
mda037:
I love Charlie's anti-Facebook commentary. He knows what the real world is versus the false one.
Nay Myo:
Charlie once said to Mick “I am not your drummer you’re my singer”.. RIP Charlie!
eight inches:
Ronnie cracks me up, still has the rock n roller look, the persona, at 70 something his hair is still spiked up, lol! Ya gotta love the guy.
Pauly A:
Charlie said he’s a simple drummer. Humble man. If you’ve seen them live, he’s a force to be reckoned with. Stones don’t sound like the Stones without Charlie.
Jessi Perkins:
Charlie was a very nice guy, no ego, always kind to anyone that crossed his path...
James Pressler:
I ABSOLUTELY love Charlie Watts. He's just so cool, down to earth, quintessentially British and unbelievably cool.
Geir Greni:
Fantastic! I love that Charlie isn't playing the game, trying to be professional about it. He is just himself, no agenda. Beautiful!!! Love it. Such a breath of fresh air.
Bat Man:
Who else is looking for Charlie videos and enjoying them. Rip 🪦 Charlie. 🥁
Bradley Holland:
Charlie Watts, a magnificent, organic man. Nothing artificial, just a beautiful heap of well-matured, self-effacing banter covering a deeply rooted love of life and appreciation for all those that have inspired him.
EVZ in OZ:
Charlie with a cuppa tea, Ron with a bourbon and coke 😂😂
Charlie’s like a great goalie. Gives the whole team confidence.
The Juicy Vlog:
"Stormzy...a rapper man!"
Maxim Popov:
Rest in Heaven Charlie Watts, my deepest condolences to the Stones. He's the best...
IndianHead24:
Such a beautiful and genuine friendship, really lovely to see....RIP Charlie, a true gentleman ❤️
Sean Ireland:
RIP Charlie, comes across in this as the lovable Grandfather figure that everyone respects and listens when he has something to say.
Rascal356000:
What a fantastic interview. Charlie is in fine form; always stable. Ron adds some pizazz and detail. It is a privilege to listen to them.
Shspurs1:
Charlie the coolest guy in the whole history of RockNRoll.
David Thompson:
You know a drummer is famous when he can call Mick Jagger "Peter Pan"
José Zulmar Lopes:
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 Brazilian fans will miss Charlie. RIP 🇧🇷
Woody81:
Charlie has the driest of British humour. Hes so humble and says it how it is. Wish he gave more interviews back in the day.
Just finished watching and Charlie is such an amazing and interesting person to listen to.
stevedrums:
20 seconds in and Charlie already has me laughing. His classic dry English humor. He's the best.
stevedrums:
Charlie is the funniest, driest human being alive. Love him.
M MV:
We'll miss your sense of humor. RIP Charlie.
Nosferatu 85:
I could watch them all day long, especially Charlie. Can't get any more Bri-ish than this 😂 His sense of humor and wit is amazing!
Lynda Langridge:
Oh, Charlie Watts, you will be missed!
Lisa Miller:
RIP Dear Charlie, gentleman drummer. Hold the beat in heaven...
Richard Doucette:
Absolutely love the way these two interact with each other. The respect and care Ronnie in particular shows towards Charlie is just awesome. Carry on Boys, carry on.
bob gibb:
I have never seen or heard a man more comfortable in his own skin as the wonderful Mr Charlie Watts .
Fiona Mary:
What great mates. Ronnie will miss Charlie so much. Notice how they touch one another all the time and lean in towards one another. A great friendship.
Mel:
6:04 is why I'll always adore Charlie and this band. Rest well, Wembley Whammer.
Apple Scruffs:
10:41 is the best. The thing Ronnie says and Charlie's reaction. What an underrated duo. Wish they did more interviews together.
Tbug:
Love these guys! Sure Keith and Mick get the attention but to me all of them are equals to me. These types of musicians are very rare and sadly aging. We all are aging but if only we could wind back the clock about 40 years for all of them.
Victor Morgado:
Man, my heart still feels heavy listening to this beautiful soul named Charlie Watts
Tina La Barbera:
Love Charlie. So natural, no ego. Lovely guy. Miss you Charlie, best drummer ever
fframer1:
"Keith,Ronnie and Peter pan running all around" LOL, Mick never catches a break from these guys!
THE Batman:
😂 Charlie calling Mick Peter pan lmfao! The rolling stones rock🤘 😛
Julian Stuart:
Two charming and decent gentlemen. Great chemistry between them.
R Em:
Speaking of their record collections : "Do these calm you?"
"No..we just listen to them!" with a smile.
Steve Syatt:
I love how Charlie referred to Mick as Peter Pan (who refuses to grow up).
Mark Vaught:
Ronnie is always a classic. But Charlie is just a treasure. A truly very cool cat. His humility make him adorable and perfect fit against Mick's hubris, Keith's affected devil may care and Ronnie's ever the right sidekick. Lol.
Islander:
"Once you start playing it's Keith, Ronnie, and—Peter Pan running all round..."
Bob Hoekstra:
This interview is the best I have ever seen, it just kills me , can't stop laughing with Charlie and Ronnie
Inca's Pathway:
Rest in Peace Charlie. You are already most definitely missed.
pbasswil:
These are just two neighbourhood blokes, chatting & laughing away like a couple of dart players at the pub! God bless 'em. Charlie dresses exactly like that retired gentleman a couple of doors down.
Jm K:
Great interview to see these two together. You can tell they're just regular guys who find it crazy their success got to the level it did. RIP Charlie, a true class act with the driest sense of humour. What a legend.
Catraoine Kelly:
Charlie Watts is the backbone of The Stones; a brilliant jazz drummer as well
British-mechanic:
Charlie does make me laugh. Brilliant dry sense of humour
Neil Aspinall:
Charlie is such a lovely old grand dad who happens to play drums in some Rock band.
DragonFireX:
Charlie Watts is a Legend
jordsupp:
Once you start a song ... it's Keith, Ronnie and Peter Pan running all around ... that's the world you're in
L B:
Charlie comes off as the coolest, most level headed rock star ever....love him
prhatherley:
“If Charlie ain’t comfortable forget about it”
alphadogstudio:
I don't think I have ever seen Charlie this animated before. What was in that coffee? Lol
EazyEColi:
*"I have... SPOTIFY BABY!"* -Ronnie Wood 2018. Holy shit... That should be an ad.
67maverick:
What Lovely guys. So wonderful to see how humble they are.
20:25 - got myself a laugh
J R:
The world is better for having the Rolling Stones!!!
Connor Freeman:
This is beautiful. It's been years since I saw this, they're the best. It's just the way it is. We love them. RIP Charlie
Thomas Kemer:
Wow, look at these guys!! Ronny was the 3rd guitarist to join this band and that was over 40 years ago!! Their longevity is extrordinary!!!
chucky 1time:
Charlie is freaking hilarious love this the fact he is who he is and he thinks he's just another guy like anyone else priceless
Dream:
0:39 - Charlie: "KEITHS POSTED ON INSTAGRAM?????!!!!!" Haha brilliant! Charlie not even try to lie that Keiths is the one who posting lol...
Mark Porter:
So many young people diss this band as being nothing but old, out of place fogies that have nothing to tell them. They have no clue just how rebellious and "dangerous" the Stones were back in the day. Funny part is, as controversial as many of today's biggest artists are, they STILL will, most likely, NOT be talked about in 100 years. The Stones WILL.
musicfromEMU:
This is great stuff.
“Charlie comes in to see me”
“…And then I get out quick and go in to see Keith”
victoriatexas1:
I’m sad and going to be sad for a long time. Feeling for the others in the band…the great loss. I have loved the Stones forever. Greatest Rock band ever!🎶💯❤️🙏🏼
NoelinUAE:
Amazing! You can sense the love between them. So humbly expressed mutually.
Rose Blake:
Charlie is absolutely hilarious. Everyone needs to watch this.
Reno Railfanning:
I love the Charlie/Ronnie interaction from 9:20 - 9:45... I've watched this interview many times.
fess04:
Charlie is my hero.....awesome musician
Tattyshoes Shigure:
Ronnie's irrepressible personality & Charlie's funny yet wholly accurate observations are a joy to listen to........."Stormzy?!" .....who he?
majorsmythe1:
Mr. Charlie Watts-"The Engine of The Rolling Stones. All Class. 0.39 his comment on Keith, so funny but spot on. Guy beat throat cancer in 2004 and never told anyone. Watts is a LEGEND.
David Savage:
I love how Charlie is such a British gentleman.
cat elmes:
Good interview, come to think of it they all are. I was going to say because it shows how warm and friendly they are and in no way intimidating or crude.
June Burns:
The stones are legendary ,they are beyond cool !! I'm forever in awe their music there talent is timeless
Maureen Welsh:
Charlie laughs his head of at mick jaggers antics on stage
cherylb2008:
Good interview. These two are gems. Love their points of view. Ronnie has a great sense of humor. Charlie is clever and so intelligent, Charlie with so much class.
Mack Maloney:
they can't even remember what albums they got Grammys for -- too cool!
Bella Bambina:
I’ve been paying tribute to you Charlie, listening to RS and you’ll never be forgotten. RIP🥁
TorErik Køste:
one of the best interview i`ve ever seen with the stone`s guys. love it
nathueil1:
When Charlie talks about the nightmares of clubs vs and I quote 20,000 lol, i chuckled thinkin when the last time The Stones ever played to only 20,000 people probably was.😂
Fred Wedlock:
Charlie, coolest guy in the band, any band in the land!
keefriff99:
Haha, imagine Charlie pounding out some thrashy double bass patterns! I’d pay good money to see that!
Outonthetiles:
Fucking legends. I love you two! ✌️❤️
DMZABO:
That was great stuff. Charlie was being very playful and silly which is not usually his forte. Ronnie was being well Ronnie. Enjoyed this interview vet much thanks for posting.
Space Cowboy:
Hahahha, love how Charlie jokingly (or for real maybe?) despises FB and Twitter users.
el viejo may:
Una perdida muy grande de una Gran leyenda del Rock Charlie Watts nuestras condolencias a toda su familia y a la Banda de los Rolling Stones el mundo entero los hemos visto como una gran familia queridos por todos nosotros.los llevaremos siempre en nuestros Corazones muy tristes con el fallecimiento de Charlie, Dios lo tenga en su santa Gloria..🙏
GamesandCake:
Watching this interview is the most fun I've had in a long time. I loved it!
Darren Dorling:
Charlie is such an inspiration! He’s a class act, an a humble one at that. Long live Mr Watts.
Jables Creed:
Love these two! The interviewer took a dim light often throughout this dialogue and loved hearing them giggle about it 😂
♥️U Ronnie Wood 🎶!
laserluver1:
When I was a kid in the 60's, parents thought that the Rolling Stones were trash. My, how times have changed.
Comment:
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Charlie so cheerful in any interview. Must be the interplay with Ronnie!
Bob Hoekstra:
These two guys love each other no doubt, great interview ....."Charlie has double bassdrums..", killing me ...:-)
Lois Anne:
Did Charlie just call Mick Peter Pan?
Joseph Schmidt:
What a beautiful soul! R.I.P Charlie.
