You mean the guy John Bolton said Trump begged to help him get re-elected?
That Xi Jinping?
Charlie Watts, dead at 80.

Ping on the bell of the cymbal.
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

I saw a video explaining that one of the reasons Watts' sound was unique was because he tended to skip the hi-hat or ride hit on the snare beat, which induced a catchy sort-of stutter effect. They showed a live clip showing how he often did that.
In addition it was determined by someone I read that unlike most bands where the drummer sets the pace, the Stones usually had Richards out in front determining the tempo with Charlie carefully shadowing Keef and therefore playing a millisecond behind the guitar, thus creating a different feel.
Mick & Keith are the stars and the Stones can (like the Who and others) keep cashing in and playing live shows with someone else filling in on the skins, but IMO they never would've been the impactful band they were at their peak without Watts back there.
HA! Thanks. Yeah, I think the Stones from top to bottom have been underestimated as musicians, because they make such great rock stars. Keef is a very inventive guitar player. They understood what it meant to play as an ensemble, which is pretty remarkable considering how young they were when they started. Charlie probably gets a lot of the credit, because of his jazz experience.franco>madden wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 6:25 pmGod bless you for trying, Quix.

That skipping of the hat on snare beats is a really cool signature. And, of course, Charlie claimed he wasn’t even aware that he was doing it.

Not a huge Stones fan, though I really do like Some Girls the whole way through. What I AM crazy about is jazz and there is a really lovely tribute to Watt penned by a touring member of the Stones, Tim Ries, who is a jazz musician. The picture he paints of Watt is of an extremely kind man who loved life and jazz.

“Being a fan is fine, but there is a line you can cross that makes it really unhealthy,” said Ken Yeager, PhD, a mental health expert in the department of psychiatry at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Keef explored different tunings to get a different sound. And it's not a D tuning or open G.Quixotic wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 8:18 pmHA! Thanks.

He made up his own tuning. Totally underrated guitar player. No need for shredding. Like Miles. Or Count Basie. Playing with two fingers the way my mother would type on a typewriter circa 1967.

That’s lovely, Perfessor. Thanks for sharing.Professor Half Wit wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 8:21 pmNot a huge Stones fan, though I really do like Some Girls the whole way through.
