Charlie's a jazz drummer at heart, who just ended up playing for 50 years in the world's greatest rock n roll band. Probably aren't many rock drummers out there that were playing jazz first. Alex Van Halen, maybe, when he and Ed used to play with their dad as kids.
Ironic that they're two of my favorite drummers, considering I've never been a huge fan of jazz myself.Eat Us And Smile

Don't know if this has been mentioned here already, but I heard on the radio last night that the four remaining Stones are planning on meeting in the next couple of weeks to hammer out details for their 50th anniversary tour. DJ said the rumor is there will only be about 18 dates in the US. I'm thinking of taking my 9-year-old to this one, just so she can say she saw The Rolling Stones (if I can convince mom to let me spend $250 for nosebleed tickets...)My karma just ran over your dogma.Comment

Keefs Fender twins. Charlie and Keef stick with the same gear and use it forever.
Are the speakers JBL's?
I've been chasing Keef's tone since 1979. It never was the Beetles for me as a kid. It was The Rolling Stones. I had a Rolling Stones sticker on my skateboard. I can remember being little and hearing Satisfaction on the radio and I was hooked. I like how Keef's guitar tech says getting the tone is illusive. That's damn straight. Unless you get that tone close the Rolling Stones songs you play just sound wrong. There is only one Rolling Stones. Nobody can copy them.Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-24-2013, 03:02 PM.No!

In Charlie's own words, he "follows" Keith, and that's the foundation of the Stones sound. It also explains some of the train wrecks on their 75/76 tour when Keef's heroin addiction was at its worst, because he fucked up, which caused Charlie to fuck up, and that derailed the whole thing.

It's the best dynamic. It wouldn't be the Stones without Charlie. Keith doesn't work with slouches in his solo stuff, but the groove doesn't breathe as much since the chemistry is so different.Comment

Here's an example of a total wanker drummer. "Look at me! I'm a drumming god!"

Same thing with the guitar part to Can't You Hear me Knockin with him playing slightly off the beat, but incredibly effective.Comment
