Why does Charly Watts wear two different shoes on stage?

Given that Mr Watts is usually one of the best dressed gentlemen in showbusiness, I was quite surprised to see that he wears two different shoes on the "final bow"-picture on IORR's starting page.

I hope it's just a drumming-issue (better control of the Hi Hat maybe?) and not a sign of things to come...;-)

He has got two different feet so why not wearing two different shoes then?

Right you are.

I should have said "two different models of shoes" or whatever...English is not my first language, so pardon me...

If you look again I think it's just the lighting.

So he can tell his right from his left or his left from his right.

S**t happens sometimes.

I bet Charlie looked down during "It's Only Rock n Roll" and thought "My word!".

Probably something to do with his right foot kicking the pedal all night. He needs a performance enhancing shoe. The other is for agility on the HiHat.

Because if he wore the same one he would fall over.

I'm working on a book about The Rolling Stones choice of footwear through the years based on many in depth interviews with people who know people that once saw the rolling stones. ;-)

BTW your explanation could make sense from a drummer's point of view but I think in this case it's just a matter of lightreflection.

You should see his underwear! It's two stitched together. The front is different than the back. Quite strange.

should all questions about that picture be posted in this topic, or should there be a new topic for each?

i remember reading in an interview somewhere that during the EOMS sessions Charlie mis-heard the lyrics to SV and instead of scraping the shit right off his shoes he scraped the shit off of his right shoe. Been that way ever since. Unless he's lying. Charlie wouldn't lie, would he?
