Hey let him follow you down Way underground wind and he's bound Bound to follow you down Just a dead beat right off the street Bound to follow you down Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos And dressing rooms filled with parasites On stage the band has got problems They're a bag of nerves on first nights He ain't tied down to no home town Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless And his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Let it steal your heart away And his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough Yeah, and the codeine to fix it Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies Who's gonna help him to kick it And his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Let it steal your heart away And his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Just as long as the guitar plays Just as long as the guitar plays Just as long as the guitar plays

He was a fine drummer, and the steadiest, most normal of the Stones.
RIP.

Charlie was a great drummer with just a basic set of drums, never changed that.
I enjoyed your drumming, Charlie. RIP

Charlie was a great drummer. Perfect drummer for the Stones.
He played just enough. Not too much, not too little.
Simple and with purpose. RIP Charlie

I saw the Stones in concert three times, most recently almost exactly two years ago, August 2019 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. I spent most of my time watching Watts, I've just always been intrigued by the drums (even though I can barely play the stereo). What a loss for rock music and for our generation in particular.

His passing is a huge loss. As said, he did just enough and with a basic set to be all the drummer the Stones needed. RIP!

I'm saddened to learn of Charlie's passing, he was my favorite drummer.
No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

The Stones were great in concert. (1989 ?) Steel Wheels Tour. I feel privileged to have been there to see them live. RIP Charlie, you will be missed.

I never say them live but played a bunch of covers in my rock days. RIP Charlie.

I saw them a couple times. No matter how intense the passage, Charlie Watts always made it look effortless. Rest in Peace

One of my faves. Just right for the Stones. I've known of him as long as I've know of any other rock drummer other than maybe Ringo Starr. It would be a toss-up. RIP Charlie Watts.

A legend! I worked security at a show on the Steel Wheels tour and got to watch him warm up with no PA on, a few feet away. He was so awesome. Godspeed. There is a special place in Heaven for him.
