I completely disagree with the person that says it's disrespectful to pay tribute right away. My thought is... Why wouldn't you pay tribute? That's the highest sign of respect. Keep doing what you're doing Daniel and don't change a thing. 👍

Of all the Charlie Watts tribute reactions today, you pick an Exile On Main Street deep cut. You have my deep respect, young sir.

Keep doing what you're doing Daniel. We know you are paying your respects and not trying to profit or increase viewership.

RIP Charlie! You are one of the few reactors that did a tribute! Charlie never showed off, but you instantly knew it was him when you heard him play. The man had the groove!

A sad day for sure. Charlie, as you said, joined the Stones in 1963, the year I turned 5 years old and I turn 63 this year. A lifetime of great music, thank you Charlie RIP

It's not disrespectful at all, it's a way to celebrate and remember the work that they did which brought many people pleasure.

Charlie was the keel to the boat that was the Rolling Stones. RIP Charley Watts

Great versatile drummer, including his association with jazz outfits throughout his career. RIP.

Loving Cup is a great choice. RIP Charlie.

I think to really appreciate Charlie Watts as a drummer, start at the beginning. The early Rock and Roll songs. Don't start on chapter 2 or 3 of their catalogue. The early Rolling Stones songs still have a punch and are still as potent as they were when they were first recorded. As to playing songs of bands or people that pass on. I think the people, or person that takes issue with that is full of it. I take quite an issue with that kind of sentiment. Just imagine what happened when the world first heard about the death of John Lennon. Suddenly every radio station was playing nothing but either John Lennon songs or Beatles songs, throughout the world. That's how you celebrate their lives, and their contribution to your live. As another person paying tribute to Charlie today said, "You get to time travel listening to songs." It is a sad day for his passing. Yet he was 80, and lived a very full life making millions of people happy with his talent. And today a lot of people are digging out their Rolling Stones albums and playing them, and remembering Charlie.

One of the first bands these little ears heard were The Stones. My mom played Jumping Jack Flash and I was on the bandwagon! What a loss. Charlie was a talented musician and a gentleman. His drumming forever goes on in the millions of Stones fans hearts! Nice tribute Daniel. Appreciate it!:) 👍

Yes, more Stones please, especially from Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street. They will not disappoint!! I do not think that doing a video of an artist that has just passed is in poor taste. When I heard the news, I was very sad, but hearing their music brings joy. This is a great tribute. Some younger listeners may not be aware of the long history and musical career of Charlie Watts, and you just introduced them to it. What better way to honor him, with his music. Maybe a new fan has just been created.

Definitely don't see how it's "disrespectful" in any way. If an artist spends their life making stuff, they usually want it to be appreciated after they are gone. That goes for the really famous ones, and the supporting players like Charlie Watts who was typically not in the spotlight, but making contributions to the Rolling Stones that were just as important as any other member's. This video is a show of respect. Thanks Daniel.

Oh bro, I actually choked up watching this. He had the best snare drum whack. I love his fills on this one; like Ringo, it's not flashy, it's just in the pocket. I love how he plays the ending of the song. I see people below saying you shoulda done this one, or that one: there is no ONE Charlie Watts track. I suggested this one because it was the first thing that popped into my head because of those simple, unusual, cool fills, and the whack of that snare drum, and the outro. "Tumbling Dice", "Rip That Joint", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "19th Nervous Breakdown", "Midnight Rambler" etc are all great too, there are tons of songs to check out Charlie. As Mick says on "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out": 'Charlie's good tonight!" PS: Mick - especially on "Exile On Main Street", where his voice sits with the band in the mix - is often not understandable lyric-wise. I have never known what the lyrics to "Loving Cup" were, and when I tried to figure them out (before the internet), I came up with the weirdest lyrics that I can't imagine they're the real ones! :D

Every death is recognized by many reaction channels and each musician is honored by the same.

Thank you for doing this tribute. You are always such a thoughtful and respectful witness to the music you showcase. Your releasing this video so immediately shows that you dropped everything when you heard the news so you could get it made out of respect. To me, it indicates that you take the passing of all these musical greats very much to heart. Kudos to you and RIP to a legend.

You should really explore the stones more. They were arguably the most versatile band ever. Their discography (and hits) span: pure rock, pure pop, delta blues, country, Latin groove, funk, disco and r&b. Imho, the stones zenith was the three consecutive records let it bleed, sticky fingers and exile on main st. That’s not to say that they didn’t produce gold before and after but they just didn’t miss on those records. Some recommendations: can’t you hear me knocking, love in vain, midnight rambler, wild horses, tumbling dice, rocks off, ventilator blues, sister morphine, brown sugar, honky tonk women, stray cat blues.

Thank You Charlie! RIP

Of course you make a tribute video right after a musician passes! It’s in the moment. It’s about respect and showing care. When we lose someone dear we want to hear from those who loved them, too. 💕🕊

From the great album "Exile on Main Street." Thank you for your tribute to Charlie; he will be much missed by my generation. Please also check out their song "Can't You Hear Me Knocking."

Dude...I was so happy to see you paying tribute to Charlie. Don't listen to the haters, there isn't anything disrespectful about it.

I've been a diehard Stones fan since the early 60's. Watching young people like yourself listen to and appreciate their music brings me joy. Keep doing what you're doing Daniel.

Great tune off of one of the greatest rock and roll albums ever. "Charlie's good tonight, in'nt he?"

One of the best ways you can pay respect to a musician who dies is to play their music and talk about them. Anyone who plays their music for selfish reasons isn't worth anyone's time. Daniel isn't selfish. He's one of the most sincerest music reactors on youtube, but there's just no pleasing some people.

RIP Mr. Watts

We've lost many already for various reasons. My generation. It's starting. They're getting older. I see much sadness in our future as we lose more. Heartbreaking. RIP Charlie. May you find peace.

Exile on Main Street was a continuation of the southern blues that marked the late sixties early seventies style of the Stones. Songs like Sweet Virginia and Tumbling Dice were a return to the more bluesy rock songs that started their career. Other notable songs from this period were: Midnight Rambler, Brown Sugar, Honky Tonk Woman, Dead Flowers...The Rolling Stones somehow managed to stay relevant while other sixties bands did not. "The Greatest Rock and Roll band in the World" They had the unique ability to adapt to many different genres of rock (psychedelic, glam, new wave, and even disco (Some Girls). For me, I’ve always felt that the early seventies stuff was their best. RIP Mr Watts. Ps, How the hell is Keith Richards still alive? The man is indestructible!

Thank you. RIP Charlie. You will be missed.

Very sad loss today. Charlie Watts was one of the greatest of all rock drummers. My favorite performances of his were on "Midnight Rambler", "Brown Sugar", and "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Goodbye Charlie. You'll be missed.

The best way to pay tribute to an musician is to celebrate and share their gift and art thank you for understanding that and celebrating his talent thank you

You are not being disrespectful by honoring individuals who gave us such beautiful works of art. It is simply a tribute and I see nothing wrong with it.

I don't think of you as an opportunist. I think your testimonial videos as genuine tributes and appreciate them as such. Keep right on doing what you're doing. I, for one, think they're spot on.

Saw the Stones three times. Back on Steel Wheels tour and then twice in the 00's. Charlie Watts was a swingin drummer that kept it all together when things could get sloppy, pulling the boys back in to gel. Loved his demeaner and respectful attitude of music and people. RIP Mr Watts. Great choice of a song Daniel. The Stones always remind me of the greatest bar band ever. Some songs sound like they were made right their in the middle of the smoke, beer circle stains and torn barstools. Thats a compliment. Loving Cup is no exception. Its really funny seeing them in concert. Most bands play a set and have to hold back the two or three hits or at most a handful. But with the Stones they play two hours and its one hit after another. My smile would jusr get bigger and the crowd energy from the band and the hits were just unbelievable. Always will be a fantastic band.

Sad day today. RIP Charlie. You will be missed

Thank you for this. It’s a sad day indeed and I appreciate you taking the time. ✌️

Nicky Hopkins was a Beast. He a condition where he couldn’t tour with a group, so he was primarily a session cat. He’s played on a ton of records. Especially early 70s

You have NEVRR been disrespectful; paying respect to a deceased artist is more of a celebration of life. Don't listen to people accusing you of that. One of the reasons I follow you is because of your mature respectful attitude toward artists and their works.

When he stepped down from the upcoming tour 3 weeks ago, announcing he was going for a “medical procedure” I got worried. But then, I thought, he beat throat cancer in 2004, he’ll pull through, whatever it is. Maybe cause of death will be disclosed in time. I saw the Stones first time in 1972 at the Garden: they were touring Exile on Main Street. Because my college had a ticketron outlet, with no limits, a friend bought 100 tickets and resold them to all our friends (for face value). We waited for it to open, garnering front row seats. Well the first row after at least 20 rows that were roped off for special folks. It was great experiencing that show with so many friends. I had just turned 18. And the show was less than 2 months later, on Mick’s 39th birthday. He got a cake, confetti fell from the ceiling, pies were distributed to the band which they through at the audience. What a night! I saw them again 3 summers later 75, and then 3 years after that 78. That toured Some Girls which is my favorite album and was my favorite concert by far. RIP Charlie.

You have created a community Daniel, the size of a medium-sized town, and many members of your community are in mourning for these giants of music when they pass, so i consider you to be doing a service by offering your reflections on their passing. i personally think it would be disrespectful for you not to.

My all time favorite Stones song. RIP Charlie

NOOOOOOO Daniel don't stop your TRIBUTES. You have always been the most respectful and I'm sure that your fans love and respect you for paying tribute to the wonderful music given us by those performers that have passed on. I'm 83 years old and people my age don't get to hear many of our old favorites much anymore and really appreciate you bringing them to live on with your channel. Pay NO ATTENTION to those who criticize you for your tributes. They are far far in the minority and we definitely do NOT want you to stop. Keep on doing what you do. We love you for that.

The videos are a tribute. Period. Don't stop.

Thank you for this tribute! It was classy. I appreciate that you do tribute videos. It's nice to preserve their lives, and KZfaq is probably the best way, in this day and age. Charlie deserves some attention, especially since he didn't get much of the spotlight.

Great tune and outstanding drums by ChRlie,R.I.P.

You are showing respect, Daniel! Don’t second guess yourself on this. NO ONE who has followed you for even a short time would think that of you because it’s not who you are. Whoever said that has a totally jaded, and very cynical view of humanity and is seeing you through that misanthropic lens. I know it hurts to have your intentions so misunderstood but that’s their issue and has nothing to do with you What you are doing is showing respect, as those who knew Charlie are doing along with you…..,people who’s names we all know. You did the right thing. Don’t let some jerk make you question your own motives. 🤗

Just one drink And I fall down drunk...what a line

Daniel thanks for your tribute. Loved Charlie and his timing and style. Also, Loving Cup is one of my favorite Stones songs off of my favorite albums, Exile on Main Street. Peace and love.

Thanks for this- Honky Tonk Women with Charlie's great intro would be good to hear even( if you've heard it already) as a tribute

My 2 cents on your tribute videos: Over time I've noticed you're more thoughtful and sensitive and empathetic than most. I can tell a death will get you to begin to research more about an artist and feel genuinely sad for even people you've never known.That same sensitivity is what's making you question if it's the wrong thing to do. There's a natural feeling of wanting to "do something" or "say something" because in reality you're helpless that they're gone even though you're moved. So you want to do something...some form of message that "they were there and mattered" because it's all we can do really.(I hope I captured that feeling right) Right now, every cover band in the world is talking about adding a Stones song to their gig this weekend and popular musicians are going to be recording personal versions of a song here and there. It's their way of doing the same thing in the only way they know they can help. There's also a relief for you to get that emotion out of yourself and express it even in just a 10 min video. Holding that in over and over is unhealthy. Overall I think It's a nice way to honor someone's life and show they mattered. Personally I hope you don't stop doing it.

The term 'downbeat', is most personified in two drummers...Charlie Watts and Ringo Starr. Watts made it look effortless.

R.I.P. Charlie Watts. So sadly, now the beat must go on without you. Keep on rockin' in the next place of your journey, you will always be sorely missed by those of us who grew up to your beat. Thanks for all the great music, catch you on the flip-flop. Daniel, paying your respects through the musical tribute to a musician is an honor, not disrespectful at all. Most of these music icons are not from your generation and you formed this channel to investigate that time period and develop a knowledge about all music. For you to not be intimately familiar with their music or not spend your free time married to it, in no way is to discredit them, there is just so much music and never enough time to hear and appreciate all of it. I like the quick tributes because it helps me through the grieving process of losing somebody who has been a part of my life for so many years. It is a way of remembering all the good times and isn't that what we all do when we lose someone who was important to us? Keep on with what you are doing Daniel, I appreciate it very much. People are free to wait for a time to come and listen if that is what they feel they need to do or just skip the reaction all together. No matter what you do, there will always be someone at the ready to criticize you, that is a life lesson that is best learned early. Let them say what they feel they need to say and hold firm to the knowledge that you are doing what is right for you. Repeat after me: I'm allowed to do what's best for me, even if it upsets other people.

I think this is my favorite Stones song, period. “What a beautiful buzz…”

DANIEL, one Stones album you need to hear is “Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out”, a live album that was recorded on their 1969 US tour. Every song is stunning, and it proves just how great they were live. Mick Taylor’s phenomenal guitar playing is what makes the album such a classic. The live version of “Sympathy For The Devil” is far more explosive than the studio version.

Classic Rock from an Era that cannot be forgotten! Good Reaction! R.I.P Charlie Watts

Excellent vid on his death....Thank you for the tribute. May he rest with peace!!! Charlie Watts is one of the greatest drummers in music history. Keep up the great work in keep Great music Alive and keep tributes to those legendary musicians and performers and artist that are not with us today.

If you were somehow trying to benefit from Charlie Watts passing, you wouldn’t have chosen an obscure track like Loving Cup! Good call! Dedicate a whole week, to Beggar’s Banquet, Let it Bleed, Get Your Ya Yas Out, Sticky Fingers, and of course…Exile on Main St. If you get real ambitious, consider clips from the film Gimme Shelter?! Believe in your instincts Daniel! It’s your fucking show! Thanks Marco!

Well, if it’s disrespectful, than all of us music lovers are. We have ALL paid tribute immediately. They deserve recognition! They’ve given us a lifetime of the love of music that will endure throughout the ages. Do what you’re doing. Don’t let ANYONE take your passion away…..ever. You don’t need to compromise your feelings and actions for the very few.

THANK YOU!!! such a great choice of songs here. too many just listen to 'the hits'...and with the stones you could listen for a week and only hear hits...but everyone ignore the deeper cuts. this is perfect. Music is a celebration and this song fits perfectly to celebrate Charlie. brought a tear to my eye. he will be missed. NOW......dig in. 'ALL DOWN THE LINE'....as rock n roll as rock n roll gets

Daniel, I do think the song is broader than just a romantic love song--to me it seems more about the power of love as a general force, including, but not at all defined by romantic love. I don't think doing videos soon after an artist's passing is disrespectful by itself. It can be if done in a crass/self-aggrandizing way, but anyone that watches you enough would know you treat artists with great respect, so just keep doing what you're doing. There will always be nay-sayers in every crowd, but the fact that you even discussed the issue in your video shows that your heart is in the right place.

Thank you, Daniel, for giving us your heartfelt tribute to the great Charlie Watts. And there's nothing disrespectful about it. What can be more respectful than remembering a musician such as Charlie by listening and enjoying his timeless work. And I thought it was a lovely choice too. One of the deepest - and best - cuts from the album I consider to be the finest ever made. R.I.P Charlie.

No, you are not being disrespectful to the artist. You may be discovering an artist that you might never have listened to, or paid much attention to. Becoming a new fan of the person, or their music, would be a great way to honor them. I became a huge fan of Kate Wolf after hearing a interview/tribute on the radio after she passed. I never heard of her before that, and it might have been a long time before I ever did. If so, it would have been my loss. Having said all that, we lost a wonderful singer-songwriter last week, Nanci Griffith. It may be worth your while to find a video with a lot of views and give it a shot. There isn't a bad one. If you are not familiar with her, someone hearing her music and becoming a new fan would be a show of respect. Even for artists that are more well known, you may be creating a new fan among your legion of viewers.

It's not disrespectful. The day should be marked.

"Loving Cup" is only a small part of the album Exile On Main Street - which should be experienced by every musician.

Rest In Peace Charlie 🙏. What an incredible career he had. Nicky Hopkins is an unsung hero/genius of rock, he could find the feeling and hold down the groove to anything and played with everyone. Honestly Daniel it never occurred to me that you were exploiting death for views, you are a rock guy so I think you are qualified to pay tribute to Charlie or anyone else. I deeply appreciate a young person like yourself caring about this stuff and I think it’s important that you don’t feel self conscious about it. Don’t be dissuaded by the negative nellies. Perhaps consider a reaction to Nanci Griffith who passed away last week, she deserved way more recognition for her songs, although she was much loved and respected by musicians. Maybe try a song from her first album “ there’s a Light Beyond These Woods” or “From a Distance” I think you’ll like em both. Thanks for doing the Stones today. Take care.

People who think you're being disrespectful are knuckleheads. (Can I use language that harsh on here?) Please don't change what you're doing!

Time waits for no one. rest in peace Charlie Watts

Charlie watts rip love u you were the steady driving force of the stones but sometimes overlooked cuz of your quiet well behaved persona a human metronome u will b missed dearly hope to meet you in heaven agian rip stay charlie

PS: Thanks for this doing this video, brother.

DISAGREE, PLAYING A MUSISAN MUSIC IS THE GREATEST RESPECT,, DO NOT WAIT

If you want to hear a fantastic Rolling Stones track, try Almost Heard You Sigh, from their Steel Wheels Album, Fantastic!

I never thought you were disrespectful. You seem like a very respectful young man. The problem with waiting to post a reaction is, how long do you wait: a week, month year? I recommend that you do what is right for you. Cheers from California.

Not disrespectful at all. You’re giving a great tribute to a wonderful musician. Keep it up! 😊

With all due respect to the Neil Pearts of the world, you do not need to drum like Neil Peart to be an excellent drummer. Charlie Watts is one example of that. Ringo Starr is another example. It's generally considered by those that study music that only Ringo, with his perfect timing, because of the multiple takes, could drum on on Sgt. Pepper. The other thing I like about Watts was his personality. While Mick, Keith and Ronny Wood have these larger than life personalities, Charlie had this steady, calm presence, similar to John Entwistle of the Who.

Great track from Exile on Main Street One of my favourites from this album Great drumming from Charlie, guitars are perfect, nothing overplayed and a great Jagger vocal

Rolling stones are timeless and superiour to most music.. Roll on Watts Rip

Great choice...

You have NEVER been disrespectful. You can immediately Tribute after a death - EVERYONE DOES! When I was in the Music Retail business, I wanted to have a "Now That They're Dead" Sale because immediately after a musician died, there was a rush on their albums. This is perfectly normal and you should CONTINUE to embrace it! Especially if you're unfamiliar with the Artist - is it a perfect time to acquaint yourself with their work and to hear what everyone is lamenting about.

Charlie made big sounds come out of that simple 6 piece set. He had no need for anything more. "What a beautiful buzz"

Not seeing this video until the following morning, can't find any negative comments referred to by most fellow commenters.(At least in this video) Perhaps some were deleted, if so, good call. Daniel is the kindest, gentlest person on KZfaq, always with the best of intentions. If not, a loyal Legion would not exist.

Remembering a musician through listening to his music is the best way there is. And I never would think that your reactions on the occasion of someone's death could be some kind of attention seeking. Implying this IMO is an insult you do not deserve. Since you are thoughtful and reflexive, just rely on what you think and feel is right. If others don't like that kind of remembrance videos, they are totally entitled to their thoughts and feelings and just avoid them.

There is a version feat Jack White with the stones, fantastic. Terrific your videos, thanx

RIP Charlie....saw Tattoo you tour in Seattle

Audio suggestions. Whatever is compressing the audio so much - meaning dynamic compression should be reduced. The songs are all coming out very compressed. What I mean is the low parts are brought up in level, and the louder (higher output parts) are being reduced in level. I think your videos would benefit from reducing the dynamic compression if you are applying that kind of compression (not "mp3" compression) to the audio. This might be introduced in the streaming software you are using as in (keep the volume the same). If there's no check mark or button to defeat the "keep the volume the same," or compress audio, function, then the music volume will not be the volume through the song as intended by the producer. It's not a showstopper, but for people who know the songs, like me, and want to see how you react, and what you say (thanks for that) it can be bothersome. Thanks for listening.

People who feel you're trying to profit off a musician's death have to be in a very small minority. Most people want to immediately listen to the music of the musician who passed away. I, for one, enjoy watching you and others react to their videos. It's a tribute.

13:06 There have actually been deaths this year that you did not do a tribute reaction. Don Everly (Everly Brothers), Joe Long and Tommy DeVito (4 Seasons), Gerry Marsden (Gerry and the Pacemakers), Hilton Valentine (Animals), Chick Corea, Rusty Young, Paul Cotton (Poco), BJ Thomas. It's been a rough year.

I think this was a great choice of songs to choose for a tribute to Charlie Watts. There are many much bigger hits, and many that Charlie Watts is praised for, but I think Loving Cup was a great choice nonetheless because it is one of the Stones greatest lesser known classics. And Charlie Watts drumming on this song is just spectacular.

Good pick.

Your fine keep doing what you do there is nothing wrong with it.

It is a tribute others on KZfaq do the same thing. I don't find it disrespectful at all.

I could wish a rest in peace for Charlie Watts, but he's probably already out there laying down the grove and bashing away with John Bonham and Kieth Moon on a cosmic scale. Gravity waves troubling the space-time continuum. Alert LIGO for the back beats.

I appreciate the notice and tribute to the artists that pass but it would mean more with deeper research. Did you know he started as a jazz drummer and was in several side bands? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Watts#Discography He wasn't Keith Moon type of drummer or personality, in fact I know little about him and never noticed much about his playing (I was going to point out 'Sympathy for the Devil' but that was Bill Wyman helping on percussion). I understand he was a fine drummer, good tempo keeper which is crucial for many bands that aren't The Who. I respect him, never heard a bad thing about him, he was one of the 3 primary members after Brian Jones passed away.

Daniel, please don't stop doing what you're doing because they are on some high horse. You are one of the most respectful reactors on KZfaq. As for this song, I'm no Stones fan. I thought this was a Phish song for years, they do this live and very well. I totally respect and appreciate Charlie Watts' work, he was a true Gentleman. The odd thing is Keith is going to out live all them. Probably the main reason I'm not a Stones fan is because of fish face Mick Jagger, I just can't get past his stage antics and attitude. All the other members are fine musicians, just an opinion. Sad to see Charlie go, RIP.

NOT disrespectful. You're doing fine.

Whoever said you were disrespectful by doing a tribute to a deceased artist is an idiot. I have seen a few channels do tributes to Charlie Watts and all of them have been very respectful. Keep doing what you do in that respect.

I disagree with the person who said your tributes are done in poor taste. What better way to honor someone than by sharing memories, in this case, music. Do what feels right for you, Daniel. Charlie lives on through his music. ✌🏼 and ❤️.

I think it's human nature to listen to music of great bands more when a member passes away. I don't see you as trying to profit from their deaths and thus don't think you are being disrespectful at all. I do think that there is a tendency to overplay how great they were, but in this case I don't think that's true, and again it's human nature. If you are pulling out 20 songs the week after the event then maybe, but you're not doing this, you are genuinely interested in the music, and again bringing music even I've not heard to a new generation and celebrating this man's amazing talent in one of the greatest bands of all time. Don't stop doing this. I actually think it would be disrespectful not to put out a video. So keep on doing what you're doing!!!

Ignore the trolls

Give a watch ch to stones playing miss u live and listen to what Charlie watts does to make that song

If I don't salute him with a drink and pour out a shot for him, was I ever even a fan? If I don't listen to Charlie's music and cry and share with friends, is that any sort of typical human reaction? No. Forget the nay sayers. They have no clue what they are talking about.

Daniel, please don't change what you do. I can't even imagine someone who would stand *against* paying tribute to an artist who's died. Sadly, the math tells me that as the boomers age, we are going to lose a large number of artists every month of every year, for something like the next 20 years. Assuming the crest of the baby boom is around 1959 and a life expectancy age 80 (or higher), we are in for many more sad days as the years pass. So "waiting to pay tribute" just means "letting someone's death be eclipsed by more deaths before we get around to paying them tribute." That makes no sense.
