    What a great interview i learned so much, seeing the joy on JHS's face in the Pretenders videos made me want to play guitar. Peace to you Jimmy.

    Chuck is such an obvious class act, humble, no nonsense guy to be in the biggest touring act on the planet. And this is 30 years ago. He answers all questions well, and casts no shade.

    Interesting to listen that he had a few hand problems and couldn't play us much as he would like to. And it was before the car accident. I suppose it's something that happens even to the guitar gods once in a while. Great interview!

    Interesting to notice the broken telephone which happened there: the guitar's a 'Hallfredh' (IIRC), but Brian mis-spelt it 'Hailfred' and then the magazine printed it 'Hairfred'. It wasn't anybody's fault, of course, but then we spent years and years tracking that make down. UwU.

    The greats always seem to say the same thing, be a great Drummer, not a rock drummer but a great drummer. Charlie always played to the song, he could have played in a way that might have been more to the tastes of what he gravitated towards but it mught not have been a great style for the stones... What an overlooked genius player. Fantastic interview!!! Still hard to believe he's gone.

    what a great interview. i saw the Voo Doo Lounge tour and, just last week, the Hackney Diamonds tour in Denver 6-20-24. Chuck was on keyboards both times--and all the tours in between. His work is one of a kind. In 1994 Chuck was the de facto music director for the band. In 2024 with the Stones he carries the title of keyboadist and musical director. Thank you so much for posting this.
