He really was just as Ringo and Neil knew it. Different times. Different necessities. But brothers at the end. Specially Neil loved Charlie because of his jazz background. How humble and happy Neil was.

Ringo is a very underated drummer, especially for what he has accomplished. ROCK ON.😅

Charlie's good tonight. ❤

@@user-wm1js2no9x I have ben called crazy, but imagine Geddy and Al doing some music with Ringo. They would have to write to Ringos talents and I'll bet it would be great.

@@Mozart1220 how do you write someone's talent, either you have talent or not. Ringo was actually a left handed drummer.🫱🥁

Rush was no way as big as the Stones.

@@joedimaggio3687 Rush ranks #3, just behind the Beatles and Stones, for most consecutive gold or platinum albums by a rock band. I'd agree they're not as big, but Rush is a hugely well known and lauded group regardless.

@@brianshaffneraclc Rush is a cult band

@Brian Shaffner for all of the albums that Rush has released, they have only sold 40 million albums worldwide. Rush is very much a niche band. They play overly complex music with themes most people don't care about. They don't have a front man, and Lee's voice is not universally liked, and most women don't like them.

@@joedimaggio3687 The guys in Rush, especially Neil, are all quite intelligent people - and their audience, from my experience, are a couple of steps above average Joe as well. Sadly there are not too many intelligent people wandering the face of the earth. Rush, at their best, is fine dining for the few, while The Stones is burger and fries for the masses.

Perfectly said

remember the old Rocknroll Heaven song? Chambers Bros maybe. 1970 or so, i digress because i am old and feeble. anyway, i dont remember a drummer in the song? now Charlie and Neil can jibe with Bonzo about who gets to play on the 3rd set. @@jpow73

Maybe Neil was waiting next to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates…?

I loved Geddy's summation of that meeting.

At first I thought you were trying to say Brian Wilson was a drummer. LOL

@@Mozart1220 I meant Dennis…I’ll edit

For some reason Rush fans see music as a competive sport.

What about Anthem from the same album?

the line is 'you're MY singer'

RIP

Now 50 years!

I didn't see Buddy Rich.

A Rush and Neil Peart fanboy would.

Neil and Rush are like a single malt sipped fireside, while Charlie and the Stones are like a fantastic roll in the sheets - very different but both among the finer things in life for sure

Oh please...Charlie gets tons of credit for bringing his style and swing to the Stones.

Neil never said that

This is OBVIOUS. It wasn't necessary for him (Neil) to say so. It's plain to see.

@@stoneano Jajaja Charly came to say hello to Neil,so is OBVIOUS that Charly admire and have to learn about Neil ¡¡

If I remember correctly in the time stand still doc nil kind of threw shade at Charlie's drumming style. So stop making stuff up

@@Alixxusa I know the scene your talking about but I don't think Neil was throwing shade, he'd be the last guy to do that to a legend like Charlie; Both had completely different styles,but both were/are masters of their craft. The fact that they took a moment to greet each other shows mutual respect from both. If anything, he was throwing shade at himself,acknowledging that his aging body/chops will fail him someday,so he'd rather bow out at his preferred level of performance rather than being a shadow of his former self. Not many legends will humbly admit that. RIP Neil.

I was born in '87 and i'd pick Charlie over Neil any day.

According to Rush and Neil peart fanboys it is.

mojorisen74 hello watts came up to Neil to pay homage respect to the greatest, get ur facts straight .

@@maxearlsexed maybe Watts was just being an out going social kind of a guy which Peart was certainly not.

This isn’t remotely true. Not one word of it.

@@cjmahoney You've read every interview Neil's ever given?

Yes

compare both drum solo, and then comment ¡

@@cristobaldominguez Drum solos? lmfao. If you think drum solos are what make a good drummer then you don't know shit about drumming. It's about keeping time and SOO many other aspects. Just like whoever has the best solos doesn't make them the best guitar player. There's so much more to music than who can play shit the fastest. Keith Richards didn't rank #4 on the all time greatest guitarists list because of his speed. Neil himself would tell you Charlie was one of his idols. To quote a comment below - "Neil's recollection of the show in his book "Traveling Music". The poor guy was SO nervous! And then, Mr. Watts says, "I'm going to watch you!""

@@joeyg2525 Tell me just one aspect in which Charly is better than Neil....Neil is millions of universes much better. even as a person¡¡

@@cristobaldominguez The whole reason this back and forth started was because I said you had the title backwards (which you do - and that's according to Neil himself). Since you're the one making the argument, how about YOU tell me just one aspect in which Neil is better than ChaRLIE (not Charly) in terms of basic drumming. Drum solos and BS like that is just for flash. Drumming at it's core is what is in question here and it doesn't get better than Charlie Watts. Neil is just as good there's no question in that. He's not better than Charlie, he's equally as good, and for you to say he's much better as a person shows you know absolutely nothing about Charlie. He's the most non-rock star rock star that exists. He's a true gentlemen and has been married to his wife for 50 years. I'm not saying Neil isn't a great person but for you to suggest he's "better" than Charlie just shows you have no knowledge about Charlie Watts at all. It's really a shame to even talk with a person with such a lack of knowledge about a person they are trying to make an argument against so this is where our conversation ends. Until you can educate yourself more on "Charly" our discussion is over.

Joey Griffin Neil didnt knew who was this old men, when he came to say hello Pick up any ranking of modern drummer magazine and you will see Neil Peart is far away in any technic aspect From CHW The only truly merit from CHW is to be part of the most overrated band in history !!

Nop

There is no "better." They play what is expected or asked of them for the band they play for. It's just different styles.

LOL 😆, really? Charlie Watts was the drummer of one of the biggest rock bands in history. Watts was playing the drums way before Peart was even born.

Says the Bass player.... lmfao

MLDC 98 geezer Butler is the Bassist in Black Sabbath.

"I don't know what is dumber, the comment or that I'm actually responding to it".... Yah, you're right!! Especially since BILL WARD is the drummer NOT Geezer (I think YOU need to look it up!) At least attempt to KNOW what you're talking about when commenting about facts.

Take it easy dude. You would be surprised who listens or who admires who. Iron Maidens drummer Nico M ist a fan of Level 42 and their drummer. Look them up you might be shocked. Why would Charlie Watts go out of his way to meet RUSH?

What's better? Watts wouldn't sound good in Rush and Peart wouldn't sound good in the Stones. They both play what is asked of them. Frankly I think Charlie's drum sound is awesome.

And Bonham is better than both of them.

@@tektoniks_architects Nah I don't think so. He may be better than Watts but not better than Peart.

@@Matty0923 Buddy Rich was the best drummer period and Bonham was the best rock drummer

@@joedimaggio3687 No, there's no period. Why is that, cause you say so? That's your opinion. They're all great, and in my opinion Neil is the best ever. You don't have to agree.

Portnoy is great, no doubt, but sorry, neither Portnoy nor anyone else " owns" Neil Peart!
