I could listen to Pete talk all day long.
In fact I believe I will.
Pete's a really solid dude...
With youtube, you CAN!
6:49 for Gallagher discussion.
Life saver 👏
Cheers pal. Extra man points for you! Hero.
Thank you
Legend
Cheers mate. Pete reminds me of that famous line about "Noel's nose always knows" BUT tbh Pete takes the cake here LOL. Frickin GENIUS but not sure about his opinion on the Gallagher's solo stuff.
Tommy, Quadrophenia, Who's Next, etc..Pete's written some of the greatest albums of all time.
indeed that is my position as well. and the solo work - empty glass etc. and a great vocalist to boot
The Who sellout is a masterpiece..
@@josephking1947 way ahead of its time.
Joseph King my favorite Who album
@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv And mine...
8:14 That's a moment that Liam will cherish for the rest of his life.
Bit of a back handed compliment isn't it!
I think he's got the 2 brothers confused. Noel 'still learning to write songs?'. He's had more No 1's than The Who & Pete's solo career combined.
@@theselector4733 think pe(rvy) pete means that Noel is still learning and developing as any master craftsman would , don't think he's confused, even though he's begining to resemble that old dude from family guy
Nah he mixed it up
Genius. New songs sound great & looking forward to the book ❤️
Love Pete great bloke , the reason i picked up the guitar 🎸
Pete came closer than any rock composer to creating a modern version of classical music. You could play dozens of his songs on an 18th century harpsichord and it would sound great!
Genesis. Is "Classical" Rock.
Let's be serious, Frank Zappa.
Zappa, Brian Wilson, etc
What an appalling comment section. Pete Townshend is a genius and a national treasure.
mu-so guy
A "national treasure" who downloads hardcore child abuse images ?
Other "national treasures".
Prince Charles & and best friend (Paedophile) Sir Jimmy Savile
Prince Andrew & best friend (Paedophile) Jeffrey Epstein
Lord Leon Brittan
Sir Cliff Richard
Lord Janner
The list of kiddie fiddling "national treasures" is endless.
yes!
Hes a nonce
@@bpfromowc havent looked into it have you?
@tecdessus apart from the fact he was arrested for it, and admitted it? it seems its you that needs to stfu,
Nice interview with Pete thanks for the video
very insightfull guy ...love pete..totally bang on about the present..what a gem
Radio X Clean your mic covers 🤢
Yeah it's disgusting...
Looks like an old sock. I mean the cover, not Pete.
Who cares?👍😁👍
I love how certain individuals believe just because someone is a talented musician or actor that they have some inside track on the truth or. are spiritually advanced or something.or everything that comes out of their mouth is gospel. I wouldn't consult my mechanic on my taxes.
Do an honest thourough and complete study without your ego to be "RIGHT" in the way. You will most likely change your oppinion.
Love and empowerment to all.
@@kathleen5033 what you on about mate, was a comment about mic covers not the deeper meaning of life!
Pete is still a cool cat!!
" I don't care about pollution, I'm an air-conditioned gypsy; that's my solution "
Not an autobiographical song, part of Lifehouse project. Just like "Behind Blue Eyes," on the same album, is written from the perspective of a German soldier.
@@haoleboysurfec2730 Think you'll find it is autobiographical. From a track on Who's Next. ripped from the Lifehouse project and titled Mobile - it's about freedom of life on the road... written in the first person.
@@LondonDada not sure, Lifehouse wasn't autobiographical. "Behind Blue Eyes" is in first person but per PT it is from the perspective of a soldier. I used to think most of Who's Next was autobiographical, but Townshend has claimed it was not. Not like Who By Numbers, Who Are You and his solo album Empty Glass, which are heavily introspective.
@@LondonDada My god ... do you think that if something's written in the first person then it's autobiographical? If not, what evidence do you have?
@@matthew7458 " Behind Blue Eyes" from WN looks pretty much like it... the "Mobile " tune lyrics to me at least too. Most writers admit everything they write relates ultimately to personal experience. In any case it's not an accusation that Pet'es an uncaring guy. Stay cool man...
Pete's icecold blue eyes draw you in, alonng with his soft voice belying the character and spirit of a Bitter Clever, intellectual, raging beast
He’s a fantastic communicator.
Interesting, timely, think I'm gonna buy Pete's book. Maybe.
Legend
Kendrick did know his dad lol. That’s like literally the conceptual centerpiece of his last album.
Brilliant
Oh Pete. I love you so very much. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever deny the power of music.
On second thought. For every doubt that enters into your head about music, please smash another guitar.
Nice1 Pete 👍❤️
Pete Townsend and Liam Gallagher lol. Imagine that conversation. I don't know there's a building big enough to fit all the ego
Like the headline the really important aspect of the conversation? Tacky radio station.
Legend.
well done Pete!
Is this a 'full' interview? If so, then why is there a cut when Pete Townshend starts to talk about the story of Quadrophenia? Was that the moment when a song started playing, or something?
Pedophenia
@@augmentedkeys5971 If you say that, you clearly never read Pete's autobiography Who I Am, or listened to Tommy. I know Pete's explanation on the subject is rather far fetched - and any other person who've lost his credibility entirely by saying what Pete said - but I totally believe him. Because he's just that f**king honest (Had that not been the case, Roger would've never defended Pete).
Quadrophenia is my favorite album
I love this man
When the Who next come to New Zealand, I wanna ask Pete if he'll smash my guitar. That'll be the biggest honour.
Ummmm, being a big fan of both Who and his solo work a must read I believe. So English he is.
👑
Love this man!
I don't love every song he ever wrote, but Pete is a genius. Won't Get Fooled Again is the greatest and most stirring rock anthem of all time, and who else did rock operas? I have seen The Who three times, and loved every minute.
I'll be listening to Pete and The Who when this world collapses.
Pete is very interesting, the interviewer is very annoying.
I love him!
I bet he loves you too mate.👍😁👍
Don't worry, be happy, Pete.
who's a better interview than Pete Townshend? Such an interesting guy
Life house is scary it is almost. Today 2023 and he wrote this in the early 70s un real
Way past time for a new microphone cover!
Beast!
He looks like a old Jerome Flynn
he's comparing Noel and Noel actually
Pete is a sincere and caring human being. No doubt about it. However, people like that can be easily led, even by their own intellect. His sincerity is his most endearing quality to me, that and his brilliant approach to playing the guitar. He must have influenced many thousands of guitarists, even if they were not conscious of it. Long live Pete.
I wish he could be put in with robert maudsley
He seems to have come out the end as a humble guy.
He named his book after Alan Watts’s book lol.
The world needs more Alan Watts
Leon Worthington yep.
What?👍😁👍
hahah Noel TRIES to write songs!!
Matthias Jan Brungers lol it was mistake he was talking about Liam 😂 he mentioned Noel before
You cant beat singing a fantastic and life giving hymns Pete,the bible tells us not to worry about the things of the world (difficult i know)
The bible endorses a lot of evil behaviour does it not? Why would any sane person take that book seriously
Mentioning Sam Fender , Stormsy and Gerry Cinnamon as voices of a generation 😂😂 Jesus
So Mr Filet-Mignon, you've tried both supermarket brand economy burgers..
👌👍😘
I'm 65 now so I remember the The Who from the mid sixties. Pete Townsend has a very (gifted brain), always have something very interesting to say. Just give him a stool in front of a large audience and a microphone, minus his guitar, and I'll be willing to pay admission to here Pete just talk. Most other rock icons I fine dreadfully boring.
Sometimes simple puns are the best - Gordon 'Smart'
wow rip pete
The host lost all credibility as soon as he mentioned Stormzy in the same bracket as Kendric Lemar
Kendric lemar isn't all that
Extremely misleading headline. Just clickbait I guess.
Things they do look awful cold. Hope I die b4 I get old.
david johanson g g generation
Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend- kurt cobain
@@oliverclozhoff9802 hmmmm, not such a bad thing. Have phun in the nursing home your gonna end up in. You'll love it.
Stormzy’s Dad? Or agent?
Pete gave Noel a really nice les Paul (which he broke over some ones skull)
BEAST!!!!!!
We definitely won’t have water in the future
Offt dunno what too think about Pete these day's, great musician one intelligent man but what about THE Book he was working on hmmm ???
@tecdessus 🐑 bah bah..
@tecdessus Indeed
If only rock n roll could come back, we could stop those polar ice caps from melting!
Quiet favorite man
I guess you have to have a headline that talks about the Gallagher bros because if you said Pete discusses his new book there would be absolutely no clicks.
I would rather listen to Pete Townshend talk about lawnmowers than the Gallagher's shite solo albums.
@@ryansams1268 lawnmowers are less derivative than they are
haha, seriously? Pete Townshend has more talent in his pinkie than the Gallagher bros have in their two bodies and the space between them.
Well that at least brought me here so can't blame the really, Of course I'm also interested what else he has to say.
Ryan Sams you wanna throwdown
Pete's description of his book almost sounds a bit autobiographical.
Today the problem with the business music is't the business
Oh yeah it makes perfect sense to compare Sam Fender to Bob Dylan. That makes ALOT OF sense..........
When the authorities arrived on Jan. 13, 2003 to take Townshend into custody under the Protection of Children Act, he insisted that there was a logical reason for his actions: He'd been surfing the darker corners of the internet as part of research for the autobiography, in which Townshend intended to discuss his own suspected abuse as a child. Enraged by what he found, Townshend said he decided he'd expose this criminal underworld.
"I am not a pedophile," Townshend said the day of his arrest. "I'd be prepared to have my computer hard drive analyzed. It's important police are able to convince themselves that, if I did anything illegal, I did it purely for research."

Seems very suspicious to me. Yes the banks were involved in financial interactions but it wasn't deliberate on their part because their job isn't to police the net. If it was me, I'd have reported the site to the police and let them get on with it. However, Townsend claims he didn't browse the site and the police didn't find images so he deserves the benefit of the doubt here IMO.

He admitted browsing the site but didn't download anything.
Shout out to Greta!
Shout out to Dylan
He's still all there
Curiosity killed the cat.
Noels trying to write songs and still learning he said... hmm k
Pete gave him props for stretching his limits, and being more creative - learning to write outside of the so called "brit pop" genre. In other words, outside of his comfort zone - not taking the obvious already tried route (which I feel Liam still trods)
was just checking who was listening but the PR guy above is on it. 8)
Bringing people together with a song call white privilege...
I leave that there.
think you will find that songs by Sam Fender not Noel Gallagher, Noels a bit too old to be suckered into feeling guilty for being white.
To be fair he could've meant either of them, writing decent songs isn't easy to do.
Where's the book, Pete?
It's over there mate!👍😁👍
Still "researching" 😁📁
That Kendrick comment :/
Hip-Hop is the new Rock n Roll?
@@bobbyd7524 nah about him not knowing his dad, a bit awkward when Kendrick has spoken and written a fair amount about how lucky he feels that he actually did know and recieve guidance from his father growing up
"Research" was it.....
yeah for his book. good read, defo recommend it

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 your favourite
Every so called "serious" musician like to dis Liam just because.
He deserves it.
@@GIRLSMAKE12334 you must be a "serious" musician
Probably because they're _serious_ musicians
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 Ok mate, we permit you to speak oh little one, lol!👍😁👍
Did he bring his laptop?
Still waiting for my refund from your mom's OnlyFans page 😅
Pete, I Love Ya! but you were born in England during WWII, Think your Mum was anxious and nervous? It's all life man.
Pete meant Liam is learning to write songs.... I bet if every time Liam felt like going on twitter and insulting Noel.... instead just go write a song. I bet he'd already have 276 songs written and Oasis would already be back together
I agree---Pete must have meant to say Liam
Oasis would not be back together regardless of how many songs Liam had.
If you are religious, you're probably waiting for the Messiah to come. If you are not, we're in deep Sh-t. Anyway you slice it, these are troubling times.
Where’s the book then Pete? Where’s this book eh?
Paul Hancock
Still researching 😁
He wrote the book and published it. It was called ”who I am”. Instead of participating in the usual cyber lynch mob why not do your research bell end!
Simon Holyoak Hehehe do my “research”. It was all for “research”. Honestly officer.
Mark Morrison **puts away projector**
Mr Hancock you seem rather fixated
How’s the ‘research’ going?
Cela aurait été plus justifié de parler des solos du vrai Gallagher : Rory. Là oui! Il y aurait eu matière à discuter
so much uninformed and unintelligent hate being posted here
Im still waiting for THAT Book?
Are you that dense Karen?
Anyone can write songs ...apart from you! I hope he didn’t try it on wiv liams sons
Having a few lines?
Just as Pete rubs his lower gums.
Hmm...
He's lost the plot
When it comes to Greta Thunberg & climate change... YUP!
It was for research!!!!!
Your dad did a lot I heard 😅
The anxieties of the affluent rock stars
Nearly 7 minutes of greta thundertwat,the environment, war,anxiety he talks gallagher bros. After tells us he us he takes advice about pissing with a war criminal in the jacks
😂
Yeah, but that wouldn't fit in the title
Liam sings about himself, Noel has a wide range.
New Thought yeah, planets, stars, etc 😴
Dude Noel has admitted many times his lyrics are about nothing. Or for the last 10+ Years he's writing about his current wife. I wouldn't read too much into lyrics in either case. At least Liam's songs are about something, not just electric car commercial music that is completely forgettable.

"Who I Am" was released in 2012. Do you read much?
@@johnmellor4728 Ignore the "wheres your book Pete?" lowlifes.They do it either for attention or just plain thick and cannot read,can be both.
All the lice are are crawling out of the woodwork.Braindeads always bang on about his research comment.If its the book you are on about,his autobiog came out in 2012.
Terrorists are threatening the music business, but the music business is killing the music business.
The science is not difficult, 2C is locked in and capitalism has screwed us, we're fucked, any more questions?
Pete doesn't know that Greta is actually Chucky.
Noel is the man 👊🏻
