Meh. Jimmy Miller had to pick up his slack.

I never heard about anybody having to come in and pick up Ringo's slack or, hell, even Keith Moon and Moon couldn't keep time with a watch, a Grandfather clock, a metronome, another watch and another guy playing drums (who could keep good time).

Disqualified for "GOAT" drummer based solely on that.

He is one of the strangest guys in rock history though, and more shocking is so below the radar with his strangeness.

Well, Paul did play drums on multiple Beatles tracks and Lennon made the flippant comment that "Ringo wasn't the best drummer in the Beatles." So there's that.

His picking up Watts's slack is vastly overstated. The Stones were a band where some of the parts were often played by other members. They didn't wait around for the lead to show when Keith could play lead on rhythm on a track or when Miller could play the kit. Happened all the time.

The idea that Miller's occasional participation on the drums in someway devalues Watts is just silly. The Stones were not like that, whoever was there at the moment played.

You are talking about Charlie Watts for goodness sake.
