What a fantastic Bass player he is and very much underrated.
Him and Charlie.
He said his bass track for, "Miss You," was a Billy Preston invention. He is Buds with Preston.
Bill Wyman is one of the most underrated bassist of all time
He really isn't special lol come on now.
@@MrShenanigans28 yes he is. The band were no where near as tight after he left
I love Bill Wyman, he’s so down to earth. He comes from my neck of the woods too 😃
Oh uh y’know he dated a 13 year old
@Joannie Trotter
That's why he's my fav stone. Supports Palace as well
Bill Wyman is 4 years older than Tom Jones, so he certainly had a personal point when he asked 'Is Tom Jones that old?'. Jones' audience was broadly older than the Stones' despite his top ten hits in the Pop charts because Jones was essentially a cabaret singer who sang versions of standards and other people's contemporary hits including ones by Beatles and the Stones, with an orchestral backing which was at the time considered old fashioned.
Bill was cool.
no
Jon Boyd Hmm yeah....ya might want to do some reading up on Bill there Jon
The way Bill Wyman carries himself in an interview I can now understand why he's stood so seemingly stagnant on stage and just moved his fingers on the strings
I read that his pauses after questions were an intentional thing, to measure the response so as to not say something stupid, because interviewers were always trying to get hold of something salacious. Of course, smoking a joint on network TV was stupid.
Where are you coming on this one fella.? He looks like any other person across the Mercy. Get real
As a bass player I don’t always have energy so I can relate a lot to him lol
@@FRAME5RSIt may be stupid; yet he somehow got away with it.
5:43 Altamont chat begins
Thank you
There is a God !! ✨🙏🏼
@@SpiritsOfAnotherDay U got that right!! Had the rs got thru Altamont without a hitch, they would`ve been GODS. Now... they`re just another band playing for past memries.
Dick is a good interviewer. Conversationalist. Genuine. Honest.
Always to insecure if you ask me. There's not much room for that in show business
I hate most of his questions. No .... hate is too strong of a word. I simply loathe his banal inquiries.
Terrible interviewer. He's asking the types of questions that would make you want to kill him.
@@InService77 What interviewers do you like?
3:00"can you imagine yourself at 50? 60?". Wyman is turning 88 this year!!! Him and Keith Richards are tough ones!
"By the way, it's a banana on his t-shirt!" Lmao...thanks. Wouldn't want to think otherwise
So beautiful Bill is in this intervju❤❤😊real human guy he think and talk so realistisk very good Stones basplayer he is the old Stones for me❤❤❤❤Love you Bill and Charlies ❤❤littel daughter in the backgrund❤
LOL .. 2:28 " Have you thought of going back to school when you finish with all this " ?? HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA
Liked it. Cavett was so underrated.
Really?
DC`s not underrated. He`s right there with Merv Griffin & all the rest.
Its amazing, he is asking him about when he is 50! And they are still Rockin!! in 2020
Um, Wyman hasn’t been with The Stones for a few decades now. Come to think of it, he left the band when he was approaching 50.
@@fifthbusiness1678 he still plays though
@@fifthbusiness1678 He was approaching 60 when he left the band in '93, he was born in 1936.
according to wiki, Billy Perks Jr. patented a heavy metal detector, bright guy
And the diary he kept all his life is an assett!
Loved Bill's restaurant, "Sticky Fingers" in London.....great place!
Broke my heart in two to hear he closed it. Went to London 3 times from flying over from the US and I stopped there every single time. Loved it entirely
Cavett is awesome!
Bill actually came from a pretty rough background compare to the others.
Bill wyman is the salt of the earth
Cavett was a fantastic interviewer. Where are his equivalents now?
Louis Theroux?
Nobody, just the same old Trump hating shows
Howard Stern
Eric Andre
@@gatork No way!
Funny to see questions about career aspirations, in retrospect.
His mannerisms and look remind me of Joey Ramone
1:30 You'r not getting the moms and dads coming. 50 Years later it's Great Great Grand Moms and Dads, Grand Moms and Grand Dads coming
Altamont was frigging crazy On so many levels,no security, police, medical services, your Only help was a hells angel who'd probably been drinking Acid laced Ripple wine since the morning 😂
Amazing more people were not killed at that debacle. What a miserable day that must have been for all involved.
Man, that ‘72 Tour was a 24/7 debauched saga across the States. Stevie Wonder opened on a series of shows and there must have been like a constant mist of cocaine in the dressing room.
The Stones cut through it all, and are definite, DO IT role models.
Yea bandicoot. Let the Stones go on with their selfish feelings and beat on innocent people who are just there for a good time
So here we are billions of years later and current Stones' audiences contain people of all ages from Grannies to kids.
He's the oldest Stone too. I know he left after the 94' tour, which I saw at The Rose Bowl and it was AWESOME! Seriously, at 13 I almost saw 81' at the LA Col where Prince was an opening act, but my 14 yr old BF and I told his uncles who had 2 xtra tix and a Motorhome, "Nah we're into Rush", and didn't accept free tickets to see The Stones last young performance. Next was 89' with Axle and by then was a major fan but that IMO wasn't a great show. 94' was awesome and in 2000 at the Anaheim Pond I had seats directly above the stage and they still moved like 25 yr olds, that was the 2nd best after 1994.
He left after 89.
At 12 i loved The Stones and Rush and The Who etc
@@scottythetrex5197 - William George Wyman (né Perks; born 24 October 1936) is an English musician who was the bassist for the rock band the Rolling Stones from 1962 to 1993. You are correct, 1993 is after 89.
@@randolfo1265 I meant he left after the Steel Wheels tour. He wasn't active in the band in 92 or 93.
wyman is clearly smokin a joint- freaks the square cavett out😃
This kind of tells you the diff between Bill and Keith. Bill Wyman Regarding Altamont- "We (the band) talk about it, but I just as soon forget about it. It was an unfortunate thing." Keith Richards on Altamont-"One gig that went really wrong."
That's putting it mildly
Bill, release your documentary in the UK FFS, I've been waiting since August 2019 Lol
It's crazy to think the Stones had only released their debut album 8 years before this interview and Tom Jones was only 32 at this time yet Dick is talking like they've already been around for about 20 years and like Tom is about 50 🤣🤣🤣
"Is Tom Jones old?" Tom is several years younger than Bill.
Hello, I used to rent Rooms in Charleston, SC years ago, I had a guy rent a room in my house he looked just like Bill Wyman ........
Knows the sidemen’s kids’ names. Cool.
Jimmy Price was more than a sideman.
Bill was right into tennis. Keith swapped guitar lessons with McEnroe for tennis lessons to beat Bill.
Hello 👋
How're you doing today.
Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness it's nice meeting you here.
@@billwyman7613 my two friends from here in Glasgow met you once in a pub in London. You were having a quiet drink and the two were arguing is that Bill Wyman? Eventually they approached you to ask if you were you and you said "OK you can have an autograph", "we don't want an autograph" they replied. You sat and drank with them. Joe and Chooch it was. Cheers for the reply.
@Leebo Leigh Brian May offered to play a song for me for a birthday or whatever for someone in a reply
That shirt Bill Wyman was wearing must have been taken from Elton John's performance wardrobe.
It never fails during one of these interviews with Wyman, he's the artful bullshitter we've come to know over the years.
I’m reading Bill’s book Stone Alone. For the “Quiet One”he sure has a helluva lot to say!
You can tell that Dick Cavett thought that Bill Wyman was just some sort of yob who got lucky and was patronising him a bit. He had had an interesting life, lived through the Blitz, did national service in the RAF and was with the stones from the very beginning.
Really? I didn’t get that at all.
I can see how you would feel that way about Dick Safety but I think Cavett was just like that, see him with Hendrix, Joplin, Brando etc. maybe especially with those who were outside the intellectual and/or political sphere.
A lot of people didn't like him but he was alright with me, depending on the guest sometimes I guess.
Iirc his opening monologues were certainly unique... I'm speaking of his talk show in the 60's.
@@KC______ Cavet was a pretty good interviewer,I didn't see anything disparaging.
You don't know Cavett's style then.
Cavett tended to ask "what if" type questions - so hypotheticals - to try to get his subjects to think in ways they otherwise might not often do. Wyman seemed pretty good natured about it all - whereas somebody a bit more prone to an outburst of temper - say like John Lennon - Cavett was probably more careful with his questions in those cases.
TRES Cool/Heavy!
early 70s-early 80s RS' Bill Wyman was cool af
" I think Tom's excited by middle aged ladies as well ". Great comment.
Cool dude.
FUN FACT: These two men were born 26 days apart (Bill Wyman is the elder)...
Dick was good at pointing things out that no one would have even though of. I never would have even thought about the banana t shirt
@3:56 Mick Taylor looks like he’s ready to leave the band now
He’s only seven years older than the kid. He probably wants to play with his blocks!
Best guitarist they ever had
I always felt sorry for him.
@@danielsalinas6683 Why? He joined the biggest band on the planet, and enjoy to ride the heights of fame for 5 years until he decided to quit.
@@Bklyn93 because Keith hated him and Jagger got jealous of him as well. Wasnt Taylor's fault that he was such a badass guitar player.
creature comforts
Bill seemed thrilled about being interviewed. His statements about crowd control seems weird after what happened at Altamont.
he accurately predicted how his life would turn out
Thanks for being a great fan. How are you doing today❤️?
2:56 At 50, he will be marrying a16 year old girl
Bill Wyman is the goat
The bride was all ribbons and curls, ooh what a girl - lips like strawberry wine... He should've had Ringo perform that number.
So y’all just gonna act like dating an underaged kid is normal? Wow you should be locked up with him
Huh?
Ew wtf
I think the Way Outs band on the Flintstones were physically modelled on Bill.
Bill’s wardrobe isn’t made of disc though. Lol!
OMG the Way Outs! LoL
To think he's 84 now
1:35 I wonder if Wyman really didn't know he was in fact older than Tom Jones, instead of the other way around. I think Jones seemed to be someone of Elvis Presley's generation, also because of his style.
Bill mentioned in his book, "Stone Alone," that he was in his weed smoking period. Otherwise, he has always disdained drugs.
Disdained
@@hanajinks1044 Bill said in his book, that he was chain smoking weed like cigarettes.
And he's smoking a joint during this interview.
Bill's thing was not drugs, but rather, he was "Girl-Mad"
Cavitt was keen on Bill's joint he was smoking. Bill later revealed he didn't even realize he was smoking a joint on camera.
Wyman wasn't smoking a joint. In fact he revealed in an interview in 2019 that he never took drugs while in the band. Everybody else did.
Joints barely qualified as drugs...he means coke, acid, smack etc
@@eightinches6094 He devotes an entire page in his book Stone Alone that around 1972-3, while living in France, he spent a good year smoking pot and hash 24/7, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
@@FRAME5RS Like many youngs people in those time in France.
Bill looks like he is going to knock his block off if he gets any closer!!
Wyman is 4 years older than Tom Jones. Looks much younger though.
OMG Its claudia winkleman !!!!!
Glad you liked it . She needs to go easy on the eye makeup. Rather scary 😱
IMO Dick's questions were dumb I'd have asked what bass do you use (Framus) and why, what kind of stings and amps, what was your early music training, do you ever play upright, who did you listen to and emulate when you were a kid, how is it playing with Charlie, what's difference between US, UK and other countries audiences. Stones got their start covering US blues artists one of most prolific was bassist singer songwriter Willie Dixon, I'd ask him all about that, they also covered Jimmy Reed and Chuck Berry I'd have asked him all about that ...
lmao
Hey, that's the 70s for you man. The questions were 'groovy'.
"Is Tom Jones that old?" that definitely triggered Bill LOL
Billy Wyman the androgynous one, I love the way he just stood there bass at a 75 degree angle he claimed he played like that because the clubs were so crowded he had to hold it that way lack of room, but his bass bottoms came from the depths, go listen to Midnight Rambler on Ya ya's that is bottom, I thought Cavett had a thing the way he looks at him, geesh He sure don't look like that anymore, Lol
I think that he held his base like that especially in the early days because in the early days many electric bass players that I can find on videos of are holding their base as if it is a miniature upright bass.
@@weebgrinder Thank you, you may be right,
@@GregJay you got it!
Spinal Tap ...
grammer school was a great education in england
it's grammar clown. and it's englanistan now. england is dead.
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows.
Wow Bill Wymann was born in '36??
Yes. He remembers the German Blitz in detail.
.... BILL WYMAN AND CHARLIE WATTS - THE BACKBONE OF THE STONES : KEITH RICHARDS IS THE ENGINE THAT KEEPS IT ALL GOING - A R H Y T H M M A C H I N E THE THREE OF THEM ...
Charlie was, is ,the glue...
kieran ohara. yeah. but the 'SOULS' been gone!!!!!
What are these guys ( Rolling Stones) made of? This guy is 83 and the others are old also and in good condition.
I think it's the same as all these people who fought in major battles, friends and comrades all around being shot to bits or blown up, but they make it to die old grey men in their beds. Just what happens, weird as hell too
Who's 83?
Good quality drugs. And having your own private island and everything catered to you
Most are made of stone that gathers no moss.
@@navysealsliedtheyneverburi430 Bill Wyman and Dick Cavett. Both 84 now.
He said cops were beating? Those were Hells Angels!..
No. Watch again. He was talking about other, earlier shows where he saw cops beating fans, not Altamont which he discussed later.
@@timothyclaffey9138 You are right.

Many people love Dick Cavett. He seems like a decent human, and yet his questions are lame.
Thanks for being a great fan. How are you doing today❤️?
Fun Fact, Wyman has the most fruitful solo career among the old Stones with several decent solo albums and hits.
Hits?
@@ronh96
je suis un rock star
Can never understand why he left the Stones.
Proper English rock star voice.
And why do these American interviewers always try and sound so clever and catch them out?
He was 57 or summat mate what do you want?
He starts talking about Altamont at 5:50, if that's what you're looking for.
Thanks for being a great fan. How are you doing today❤️?
3:55 That woman seems to be in a world of her own lol
Quiet dude sittin' by his lonesome waiting to do the thing that made the Rolling Stones for those 5 short years.
Interesting. He criticizes the cops, who he says are the cause of trouble at the shows, but doesn't say a peep about the Hells Angels at Altamont where there were no cops to cause trouble yet someone died.
@Willie Peter They should hold their shows without any assistance from cops, including police escorts.
That's because the Hell's Angels had put a hit out on the stones. that camp had to figure out how to deal with certain things
When the cops beat the kids up 🤔😶
I'm still looking for the quiet one Documentary in the uk to watch,been looking since July 2019, only available in USA,how stupid is that 🙄
It's very very good, even better than I'd hoped, very creative animation bits. My only 2 criticisms....NOT LONG ENOUGH, and not enough shop talk about Bass! The smartest Stone. I have cds and DVDs of solo and Rhythm Kings music. He's had a happier time since leaving the Stones. Hope you've got ahold of the documentary by now!
@@lilmelvin11 hey Terry,no mate I ain't seen it still yet, I don't know where to watch it in the uk, Amazon don't have it,netfix,sky, I've even tried websites but they're mostly geo locked so I need a VPN which is a lot of fuss to watch 1 movie, I'll wait for the DVD I guess, I'm fuming,over a year & no official release for the place the stones were founded in the uk, USA probably get it for free by the time it's available here lol
@@noname1st139 Its on a streaming site called Hulu. If you can sign up for a free week you can catch it. Not sure if Hulu is blocked in the UK.
@@FRAME5RS yeah it's geo locked, thanks for the info though, I have the same issue with Amazon prime, it's not available in uk, ridiculous lol
@@noname1st139 Yea, let's not let English people watch a documentary about an English musician. We love The Stones here for sure, but they came from across the pond.

Doesn't he play for The Woodies?

Did any body learn anything Here ...!
I hear little kids in the back ground. I wonder whose kids they are?

I hope Bill didn’t hit on any of them
@@Brenda-rn2kc probably his lover
Omg I- better not be
Y’know what, probably. This is Bill Wyman we are talking about here so wouldn’t be surprised if it was his lover in the background
Bill looks like George and speaks like Ringo.
He sounds like Ringo the way Robert De Niro sounds like Matthew McConaughey
What "talk" - ? He said practically nothing.
He's wearing a woman's sweater
And? Who cares if he is wearing a women's sweater.
Toni Felise. Have You Seen Your Mother Baby??? Standing In The Shadows!!!!
Cavett did his best, but he didn’t have much to work with.
John Afella
I respectfully disagree.
I’ve watched at least a couple of Wyman interviews from different decades, and he struck me as being an uninteresting person.
@@charleswinokoor6023 I'd agree. He is the most boring of the Stones. I was surprised to see on his Wikipedia page that he has written 7 books but I've no idea what they are about.
@@heliotropezzz333 Some about the Stones, one about archaeology, one about his music with other musicians. Instead of insulting him as stupid, you should read up first. He has tons of interests and is very interesting. The only one bright enough to stay away from the drugs.
@@charleswinokoor6023
That means you agree
@@dans9463 Agree whom regarding what?
No no no, camera one...stay on Cavett.
Claudia Winkleman?
The cameraman ended His career that day.
I had to do a double take. For a scary second there I thought the thumbnail was my hideous, screeching ex-wife. It gives me great, indescribable pleasure to say that, "ex-wife". Ahhhhh.....
He's English.
I hate it when people stick their face in others personal space and park it there knowing full well it annoys the other one's socks off and has to slightly pull away.
The seemly cinema conclusively reject because relative differently march via a ill-fated scooter. foamy, unhealthy pressure
Precisely.
Probs, that
I don't think he'll be alive at 50!
Too bad and sad he left the stones
what a horrible camera work
CanaBruin. that`s not Billy Preston. toilet sense of humour, but that`s not BP!!!!!
Not the sharpest tool in the shed huh?
Dick by name and Dick by nature.. Bill kept answering his inane questions.. He tried to belittle Bill but failed..
Not so. I’m reading Stone Alone, and Bill found the interview very stimulating!
