Why he might be annoying:

    He abused alcohol, speed and heroin.
    He smoked.
    He said: 'Regretfully, I never took acid and I wish I'd taken it to know about it … I wish I could have done, but it never looked right on me. But I thought it was great.'
    He hates touring and has threatened to quit numerous times because of it.
    His favorite activities are drawing, talking and playing drums. He says he gets bored doing anything else.
    He doesn't consider himself a musician and doesn't understand why fans like him.
    He looks more like an accountant than a rocker.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was married to the same woman for over 40 years.
    He is considered the most quiet, most serious, and least wild member of the Rolling Stones.
    He is modest and prefers to let the other members of the Rolling Stones be in the spotlight.
    Keith Richards said: 'Everybody thinks Mick and Keith are the Rolling Stones. If Charlie wasn't doing what he's doing on drums, that wouldn't be true at all. You'd find out that Charlie Watts IS the Stones.'
    He leads his own jazz band and jazz orchestra.
    He cleaned himself up from drug use.
    Although he quit smoking in the 1960's, he was treated for throat cancer (2004).
