What was said
"You take Keith Moon. I can't take him. But but and where would I take him? In other words, it's always been known that Charlie Watts was a great player. He had feel intelligence. You're talking to me about people like Bonham and Moon. They just like to hit things and that's the difference. One or two tracks that I did cut with him was an absolute disaster. But at the same time, I love the guy, right? as a drummer? No. I mean, he he all he could do is drum for the Who."
Keith Richards dismisses legendary drummers Keith Moon and John Bonham as limited players who only know how to hit hard, contrasting them with Charlie Watts' intelligence and feel. Richards says recording with Moon was a disaster and that Moon could only play for The Who. This is a controversial take on two of rock's most celebrated drummers.
