      The Who is my 80 year old father's absolute favorite band, so I've been listening to them for 50 years.
      Whenever I'm with him and The Who is on the radio or playing anywhere. He says " do you know who this is?". Then I say "who?". He thinks it's hilarious every single time. Dad jokes. It's so Abbott and Costello.

      I'm a bassist of 45 years.
      His stuff isn't that intricate and or hard to play.
      It's his phrasing (if you know what that is) his tone, his attack, that for me, set's him above the rest..
      His tone was so dynamic. It covered the spectrum.
      He fingers were very long, he had piano player fingers that were made of flexible steel..
      I met him once, shook his hand, showed him my Alembic.
      His hand wrapped around the neck and my hand - twice.
      Never be another like him..

    • @patrickbateman9722
      @patrickbateman9722 Год назад +31

      Absolutely! John Entwistle, the bassist for The Who, was often referred to as "The Ox" because of his sturdy stage presence and seemingly unshakeable demeanor. But beneath that calm exterior was a whirlwind of creativity and technical prowess.
      Entwistle revolutionized the role of the bass in rock music. Before him, bass was often relegated to the background, simply providing rhythm and foundation. Entwistle, however, approached the bass as a lead instrument, crafting intricate lines that were both rhythmically complex and melodically rich.
      A few characteristics that made his style unique include:
      Lead Bass Approach: He often played solos and intricate fills, complementing Pete Townshend's rhythm guitar.
      Tone: He had a treble-heavy tone, allowing his bass lines to cut through the mix and be clearly audible.
      Finger Technique: Instead of the more common fingerstyle or slap techniques, he often used a plectrum (pick), which gave his playing a distinctive sound.
      Harmonics: Entwistle was known for using harmonics in his bass lines, adding a unique sonic texture.
      Songs like "The Real Me," "Baba O'Riley," and "My Generation" showcase his innovative bass work. Despite his impressive technical abilities, he never seemed to break a sweat on stage, making everything look utterly effortless. For many bass players and music enthusiasts, John Entwistle remains a significant influence and one of the greatest bassists in rock history.

    I saw The Who for the first time in 1975 at age fifteen. I was blown away. Completely. The next year they didn't play Atlanta but I heard they were playing in Jacksonville at the Gator Bowl. Me and my buddy decided we had to see the show. This was summer of '76. So we told his mom he was going camping with my family and I told my mom I was going camping with his family. Lol. And we got out on I-85 and started hitch hiking our way to Jacksonville. Our first ride was some guys in a Camaro from St. Louis. They were cool as shit. A cooler of beer in the back seat and some ganga. They drove us all the way to Jacksonville. Saw the show and made it back home on Sunday night just in time. God Bless those guys in the Camaro. Lol.

      @@ctihodnymuz72 Technically, yes but how do you define better? I've played drums for over 40 years and while I love Paice (and many others) Moon was so unconventional in his playing style - he was instantly recognisable. See how he plays almost the entire song on a large crash/ride above his hi hat and the ride cymbal on the opposite side. He almost never touched his hi-hat. His constant fills and flourishes are his trademark which makes him one of the most unique rock drummers ever. I don't think that you can really get into the 'who's better' debate with Moon. If you read the biography on Moon ("Dear Boy") it talks a lot his playing and how it developed. He simply sat behind a kit and played it how he thought it ought to be played - without any instruction or interest in following convention.

      I would give anything to be on this TOUR, or on any SHOWS of ROCK bands, historic, categorical, and emblematic, revolutionary in the ROCK industry, in the world of ROCK, I have never had this luck, and pleasure to be on a TOUR of all I'm a fan of my bands, I'm a fan of my bands with my heart, and soul, I've never had this privilege, I would love it, I'd like to be on a tour of one of my favorite bands, in fact it's just the ones from the 60s, 70s, and 80, from 1990, from then onwards, music sank, it only went downhill, just river bends, there was a decline in the music we currently have today, (QUALITY) music is in short supply nowadays!!.

      Pete talked in a recent-ish interview about John’s bass being like Bach fugues, sending kaleidoscopic harmonies into the air so all Pete had to do was punctuate rhythmically. It’s the complete opposite of all other bands where the bass plays the root and the guitarist solos. What a genius unrepeatable setup was The Who.

    • @patrickbateman9722
      @patrickbateman9722 Год назад +4

      Absolutely. Keith Moon's frenetic drumming style was a foundational element of The Who's sound. His approach to the drums was unlike anything seen before in rock music. Here are some characteristics and contributions of Keith Moon's unique style:
      Chaotic Energy: Moon's drumming was known for its wild, unrestrained energy. He often seemed to be on the edge of losing control, yet always managed to stay in the pocket.
      No Traditional Beat: Unlike many rock drummers of his era who kept a steady backbeat on the snare, Moon often eschewed this entirely, filling measures with rapid tom-tom rolls, cymbal crashes, and unexpected accents.
      Lead Drumming: Much like John Entwistle's approach to the bass, Moon played the drums as if they were a lead instrument, always pushing forward and rarely settling into a traditional rhythm section role.
      Destructive Flair: Off the kit, Moon was famous for his destructive antics, from trashing hotel rooms to exploding drum kits on stage. This same energy translated into his drumming.
      Influence: Despite (or perhaps because of) his unconventional style, Moon has influenced countless drummers across genres. His refusal to be confined to traditional drumming roles expanded the possibilities of what rock drumming could be.
      Moon's untimely death in 1978 at the age of 32 was a significant loss to the music world. While his time with us was short, his legacy is enduring. Many consider him not just one of the greatest rock drummers, but one of the most iconic figures in rock history.

    I'm 70 and I have loved The Who from the first time I heard The Kids Are Alright. I thought then and still do that they were a band of leads - Keith playing lead drums, John playing lead bass, Pete playing lead guitar and Roger as lead singer holding the whole thing together. I never got to see them live, but I've worn out their albums. Live At Leeds is one of the best live albums ever.

      Moon actually was a pretty good drummer from a technical standpoint. He was no Neil Peart or Dave Weckl, but he had chops. Something that made him really stand out was his playing for the time...he was a lot more technical than most rock drummers were back then. Like Stewart Copeland from The Police. An unusual style and level of technicality for the genre and times.

    I was so lucky to be in the audience for this performance as it was for the filming of The Kids Are Alright, so it's movie quality, it really had to be the best live gig I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot, the Who really are the best live band ever !

    Saw The Who in ATL in 2006 and they played like teenagers. It was glorious. Pete was in top form and when Roger belted out that iconic 'YEAH' in Won't Get Fooled Again, I thought I was going to faint. It is the highlight of all the concerts I have seen. It does not get any better than that.

      Same, partner, same for me. I watched The Who (Townshend and Daltrey) a couple of months ago in Florence. It was already amazing in itself the performance, but then comes Won't Get Fooled with that glorious scream... Some folks say it had been taped, or something like that; I don't believe them, I'm sure he did it.

      I agree, Roger's scream in this song is the most iconic scream in all of rock!
