Keith Moon the drummer used to treat the drums like the lead instrument. A percussion genius, unfortunately departed this earth far too young: RIP "Moon the loon".
Everybody in that band is a monster at their chosen instrument. Their drummer, Keith Moon, is a legend. You might recognize his crazy drumming and facial expressions as the inspiration for The Muppets' Animal.
I woke up in a Soho doorway; a policeman knew my name. He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight, if you can get up and walk away. " True story and some of the best opening lyrics in rock history - hilarious.
Animal is the best drummer in history! Lol. I did not know he was inspired from Keith Moon, but after seeing this video, it makes perfect sense. He is the epitome of Animal.
Keith Moon (drummer) taped his earphones on to his head stop them falling off during his wild antics on the drums. Rumour has it he was also the inspiration for Animal - the drummer in the Muppets. The who, one of the best rock bands ever. "Won't get fooled again" is my favourite of theirs with the best / loudest rock scream ever. Huge back catalogue.
It’s not a rumour, Jim Henson talked about it on an old episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He was a huge Who fan and had their blessing to immortalize Keith.
I'm happy to see a Floyd AND Who fan... DSTOM is my favorite album, sorry, I mean, the best album in Space Time, and Keith Moon is my favorite Drummer, and as a crazy character is on my top list with Syd Barrett.
Keith Moon absolutedly brilliant drummer they were all superb musician's in THE WHO we will never see their like again Legend's of Rock Music and the greatest live band ever that's for sure.
There is a 6 camera panel version of Won't Get Fooled Again, it was filmed at Sheperton Studios for the Rockumentery The Boys Are Alright, shows so much more of their "antics"
The drummer keith Moon once drove a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool and that was one of his tamer pranks .love listening to his drumming RIP /movie star /rock star /and now a real star in the night sky .
The Who are a great British rock band formed in London in 1964. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century & have sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have so many great songs such as "I Can't Explain", "The Kids Are Alright", "My Generation", "Baba O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Substitute", "Happy Jack", "I Can See For Miles", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Boris The Spider", "Pictures Of Lily", "Magic Bus", "Pinball Wizard" etc.
Keith Moon is a renowned drummer, John Entwhisle is a renowned bassist, and the energy of this band live is top tier. Obviously ended general admission seating at stadium shows because of the tragedy. Actually was at the Silverdome (old football stadium ). For the Detroit stop on that tour.
Keith Moon legendary drummer it most renowned for his partying and sense of humor. The stories are epic. My favorite Keith drove his Rolls Royce into a swimming pool in the middle of a party....just cuz. 😂
Keith lived the way he played drums...manic and on the edge of totally out of control. With the drums it made him brilliant and one of the all-time greats,in life it took him from us far too early. This song is from 1978,so more like 45 years ago.
Hahahaha I love it. They don’t know who the drummer is but like the his facial expressions. He’s arguably the greatest drummer of all time. Definitely top half a dozen. Keith Moon, legend!😂
Interesting video, it shows the way the song was built in the studio in several passes adding layers of sound. They wear headphones to play along with the previously recorded parts. This song is from 1978 when punk rockers were calling acts like The Who "dinosaurs". The verses tell the story of the hardships and low parts of their growth, and the chorus points at the punk rockers and asks "Who Are You" (what have YOU done?).
All of the shows from the CSI TV franchise used Who songs for their intros. You can't go wrong with Baba O'Riley, My Generation, Don't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, Squeeze Box or You Better You Bet. Actually any of their songs!
I've seen The WHO live several times. This is one band that will kick your ass and come back and kick it some more. The first time we were sitting in a dark theatre, when suddenly the blast of a loud guitar almost blew me out of my seat. Next, Pete comes sliding across the stage on his knees banging his guitar on the floor as the lights came on. My hair stood up for a week.
Keith Moon aka Moon the Loon is probably my favorite drummer and yes he earned the name Moon the Loon. The bass player John Entwhistle was called Thunder Fingers because of his amazing bass playing.
John Entwistle on bass, alawys stood stoicly in the dark, but played the flashiest bass lines and wore the flashiest outfits. He was voted bass player of the millennium!
Keith Moon wasn’t just the drummer - he was THE Drummer. Look him up. Great reaction guys … please check out Won’t Get Fooled Again and Baba O’Reilly, both amazing songs, I promise you’ll dig them both.
My uncle saw them in concert and said they were the LOUDEST band he ever saw! I was a young drummer and he told me about Keith Moon’s drumset which was huge back during his time! He said he was glad he wasn’t at the Cincinnati show because their was a stampede and lots of people were hurt and killed. Overall The Who was my uncle’s favorite band and one of my favorites too!
Keith Moon is always in a he top 2, 3, or 5 rock drummers of all time. He’s #1 on my list. Energy, energy, energy. He played with the singer and guitar. The bassist, John Entwistle played lead almost - always playing a counter melody, while Pete Townshend invented the power chords. Roger had to scream to be heard. All 4 thought they were the lead, and yet it worked (really well). Almost like Dixieland when all the instruments solo at the same time.
Keith Moon (RIP) was/is my second favorite drummer, after John Bonham (RIP) of Led Zeppelin. Ol' Steady John Entwistle (RIP) was the bassist for the WHO, Roger Daltrey is the Front Man, and Pete Townshend is guitar, and chief songwriter. All extremely talented people.
John Bonham, while a fine drummer, wasn't anywhere near Keith Moon in abilities or personality. Moon at 17 was acknowledged to be the fastest drummer in the world. He only got better as he aged, until he flamed out, OD'd and died. He might not have been the greatest. Maybe Ginger Baker should get that nod. The 60s saw many genius drummers emerge.
@@iamthecaptainofmysoul2293 Ah "Mr Justice"... Wait... no you aren't... Are you so presomptuous to take yourself for a god which "know it all" ? You sounds very toxic to me.
Yes, he was, and this is the last album the drummer Keith Moon made before he died way to young! He was also known for all the crazy stuff he would do like smash his drum set at the end of the concert!
I saw the original band back in the 70s and yeah, Moon knocking his drum kit around and Townsend throwing his guitar was for Real in Springfield MA in the mid 70s! Hear that show on You Tube, they killed it as always.
The first time I saw The Who, was at Maple Leaf Gardens. They played a few nights and a friend who was at an earlier show challenged us to count the number of drum sticks Keith broke. I lost count at 12-15. They were followed by Herman's Hermits and there was a 20 intermission for the smoke to clear from the stage!
Thanks guys, for doing the who I was one of the people who wrote the comments about The Who London band from the 60s. Thanks again George, one of your older subscribers in England, UK👍🇬🇧🍾
Roger Daltrey has a massive voice. Saw him singing live at a concert a couple of years ago, now in his 70's. He was incredible and brought the crowd to silence for a moment as he really let it go. Serious rock royalty and a session I'll never forget.
Thank you, I wanted to say something about Roger too , a great singer and actor but according to the comments the only person recognized is Keith Moon...they just want to hear him banging away...no need for a vocalist or guitar player! As far as I'm concerned there would have been no record without Daltry, the reason I bought it.
The Who are considered the godfathers of punk rock,hard and progressive rock. Many bands that followed were heavily influenced. Keith Moon ,drummer,John Erstwhile,bass guitarist,Pete Townsend lead guitarist main songwriter vocalist, and frontman harmonica player Roger Daltrey are considered some of the GOATS and the best in each of their respective roles. So to answer your question the drummer is one of the greatest drummers ever!
Legendary Band Legendary Live Shows Great Vocals Great Guitar Great Bass Legendary Drums That’s Who the Who Is Legendary 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Next Won’t get fooled again Baba O’Riley 2 Legendary Songs 👍🏻
Wont Get Fooled again is a true Rock anthem, Love Reign O'er Me is one of the greatest Rock vocal performances and The Real Me.. well just check out the incredible bass line. The best I ever heard in my opinion.
The Who performed at Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Live Aid, Concert for NYC, the Super Bowl, and they were the band which officially closed out the London Olympics in 2012. BTW, The Who is currently touring Europe.
Great group you’re discovering and yes you need to listen to more, including live. They had some of the best musicians around. John Entwistle was one of the greatest bass guitar players in history. Keith Moon was an amazing drummer and Pete Townsend? Guitar, piano, organ you name it he plays it. Roger Daltry is along for the ride of his life but makes the vocals come alive with so much energy. Wait till you see him twirling his mic during a live performance. Welcome down the rabbit hole which is The Who!
The Who are in a space all their own. Sort of their own genre. They have many good songs, as other commentors have mentioned. This song didn't hit me hard at the time of it's release, but it is definitely a banger. Love the video. Another great reaction. Guess you guys can't help but put out excellent videos. 😊
Word of mouth about this HEAVY sound coming out of The Who's recording section made Paul approach John and the guys to write something heavy themselves. The result was Helter Skelter!!! Just a cool little factoid that's out there!!! And Keith Moon was considered a crazy assed but skilled drummer. He was the inspiration for Jim Henson creating Animal!!! 🤘😝🤘
I have 2 books, one written by Pete and one written by Geoffrey Guiliano that cover Pete's life from childhood till just a few years ago. Both are amazing reads if you want to learn about all the members and their music. Pete(who I think is brilliant) was an absolutely tortured soul when it came to his musical experiments. Trying to get the sequencers programmed properly, live or in studio, is just one of the the imperfect things musically that he wanted to be perfect.He worked on it till he got what he was looking for. Genius.
Roger Daltry isn’t just a great gritty vocalist, he was a decent actor too. Played the infamous British Bank Robber ‘John McVicar’ in the film of his life ‘McVicar’. Most the music on the soundtrack is theirs too. Well worth a watch. 🔥👍🏼
Very nice reaction guys, to what many consider to arguably the greatest rock band of them all. And one of the most influential. For more great Who material, check out "Baba O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Love Reign O'er Me", "My Generation", "Young Man Blues", "A Quick One While He's Away", "See Me, Feel Me", "Behind Blue Eyes", "I Can See For Miles", "The Kids Are Alright" just to name a few.
Oh man, y'all are in for a treat! It is so fun watching people listen to these classic rock bands for the first time. The drummer, Keith Moon, was renowned for not only his musical prowess but his crazy antics. He's among the top three drummers; Neal Peart of Rush is probably the best (nicknamed the Professor) right along John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. With his band mates Roger Daltry, John Entwhistle & Pete Townsend, The Who gave us some timeless albums chock full of bangers. Keep going down this boulevard of phenomenal songs!
Keith Moon was such a great drummer, even Neil Peart admired his drumming. How big of a compliment when you can inspire Neil the other top drummer ever to live is a fan of his drumming style.
Hey guys. Thanks for that reaction and the video. The Who are Royalty when it comes to Rock Music. If you eved watched any of the CSI shows ( New York/Miami/ Original) they all have a Who song as their intro theme. Original)
The Who are Rock. They were punk before punk was a thing. They had four leads; singer, bass player, drummer and lead/rhythm guitar. I don't know how they made it work, but they did;
Great reaction Sam and Phil! The Who is one of my favorite bands and I have listened to their music for a good part of my life. I was lucky enough to see them live in Pittburgh in the mid 70s. It was an amazing concert. I believe that a lot of people will request songs from their Who's Next LP. It is an outstanding album and you honestly couldn't go wrong if you played the entire thing! I'm repeating myself, but I love your content!
The Who are, imho, one of the top ten bands of all time. They are spoken of in the same breath as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Segar, ect. They have a HUGE catalog of killer songs. As with many top tier bands, all of the members are considered to be among the best players in rock history. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is my recommendation for your next one but really, you could throw a dart at their catalog and hit a banger.
I never belittle anyone for not having heard classic rock. You can’t help when you were born or that music has devolved catastrophically since the 60s and 70s. I’m just glad to see you discovering it now and allowing me to share the experience with you. I was truly blessed to grow up during the golden age of music. Watching and listening as you hear these songs for the first time is like going back to the first time I heard them. You are why rock and roll will never die. When your time comes, be sure to pass the torch on to your kids and grandkids. Much love ❤️
So glad you guys did the "untainted" version. For decades, in MY radio market, the two "F-bombs" dropped in this song remained untouched. But thank God the Morality Police swooped in a few years back and cleaned up the song for us. Great reaction, guys! The Who are a fun rabbit hole to go down.
There's a reason the drummer Keith Moon's nickname was "The Loon" RIP. You need to check out a live version of Don't get fooled again. The band consists of Roger Daltrey- lead singer Pete Townshend Lead guitarist back up vocals and songwriter John Entwistle bassist/babysitter RIP Keith Moon drummer. Each are one of the best at what they do. Love Reign O'er Me is a must.
Saw them in 1971 on the tour promoting the album at the Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville, Illinois, over 30,000 of us. Wishbone Ash opened the concert, all for the price of $2.00 for a lawn seat ticket. Jim
The Who… one of the GOATs of rock n roll. Keith Moon was one of the greatest and most influential rock drummers and the reason I started playing drums over 40 years ago. So many great Who songs to choose from. Anything off Who’s Next is great. I would recommend the studio versions, not the live versions that were recorded near the end of Keith Moon’s life. If you want to hear Roger’s vocals shine, check out Love, Reign o'er Me from the Quadrophenia album. The Real Me and 5.15 are also bangers from Quadrophenia.
John Entwistle (the Ox) is basically considered the best contemporary bassist . Keith Moon (Moon the Loon) besides being a hyperactive crazy person was one hell of a drummer, Pete Townshend guitar/key and Roger Daltrey is a great vocalist They were certainly a big deal in the 60’s 70’s and into the 80’s.
Right here is one of the world’s greatest rock bands.
Greatest drummer, greatest bass player, greatest vocalist, and one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters of all time. That's The Who.
"Won't Get Fooled Again" has one of the best Screams ever in a Rock Song. Check it out if not already.
One of the great rock songs in history. I'd suggest the studio version first for this song.
The Shepperton Stage B / 1978 is a great live version too.
I prefer Baba O'Reilly personally
If not the best. Bruce DIckinson's scream in Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" comes awfully close.
The best scream in rock 'n roll.
Keith Moon the drummer used to treat the drums like the lead instrument. A percussion genius, unfortunately departed this earth far too young:
RIP "Moon the loon".
My Generation...was the life of Keith Moon...he died before he got old...
I was 💔
Everybody in that band is a monster at their chosen instrument. Their drummer, Keith Moon, is a legend. You might recognize his crazy drumming and facial expressions as the inspiration for The Muppets' Animal.
Keith Moon is a GOD
@@jeromemilne561Thanks for that reminder. I forgot that. Animal is crazy. LOL
I woke up in a Soho doorway; a policeman knew my name. He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight, if you can get up and walk away. " True story and some of the best opening lyrics in rock history - hilarious.
Animal is the best drummer in history! Lol. I did not know he was inspired from Keith Moon, but after seeing this video, it makes perfect sense. He is the epitome of Animal.
Keith Moon is a renowned drummer in the history of drummers, not just the history of the Who.
The greatest rock drummer ever sadly passed away shortly after this video was made
There isn’t a drummer alive who doesn’t love Moonie. The dear, late Keith Moon. Moon The Loon.
Keith Moon (drummer) taped his earphones on to his head stop them falling off during his wild antics on the drums. Rumour has it he was also the inspiration for Animal - the drummer in the Muppets. The who, one of the best rock bands ever. "Won't get fooled again" is my favourite of theirs with the best / loudest rock scream ever. Huge back catalogue.
It’s not a rumour, Jim Henson talked about it on an old episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He was a huge Who fan and had their blessing to immortalize Keith.
Rip Moon the Loon and The Ox, The Who are (in my opinion) still one of the best rock bands around. You can't go wrong with any of their songs.
I agree, I'm 72 and they've been on the top of my list since I was 18.
I'm happy to see a Floyd AND Who fan... DSTOM is my favorite album, sorry, I mean, the best album in Space Time, and Keith Moon is my favorite Drummer, and as a crazy character is on my top list with Syd Barrett.
Heinz Baked Beans, More Music More Music ...
Keith Moon absolutedly brilliant drummer they were all superb musician's in THE WHO we will never see their like again Legend's of Rock Music and the greatest live band ever that's for sure.

to name a few! and don't forget the rock opera Tommy
If you do any of the above, try to find the live versions.
Good suggestions, I've suggested pretty much the same songs on other people's Who reactions.
Now A days if you r a young man- Young Man’s Blues has a tad of grit.,,,,
Keith Moon is a renowned drummer, John Entwhisle is a renowned bassist, and the energy of this band live is top tier. Obviously ended general admission seating at stadium shows because of the tragedy. Actually was at the Silverdome (old football stadium ). For the Detroit stop on that tour.
Keith Moon legendary drummer it most renowned for his partying and sense of humor. The stories are epic. My favorite Keith drove his Rolls Royce into a swimming pool in the middle of a party....just cuz. 😂
The Who were the loudest band in the world 126db in concert
Keith lived the way he played drums...manic and on the edge of totally out of control. With the drums it made him brilliant and one of the all-time greats,in life it took him from us far too early.
This song is from 1978,so more like 45 years ago.

Great reaction, thank you :)
Keith Moon got so hyped when playing the drums they used to tape his headphones on to stop them falling off x
I've seen The WHO live several times. This is one band that will kick your ass and come back and kick it some more. The first time we were sitting in a dark theatre, when suddenly the blast of a loud guitar almost blew me out of my seat.

FYI Keith Moon was a living maniac🤣
But a genius of a drummer

Legendary drummer Keith Moon best faces in the business
The Who, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, live 1978.
Keith Moon aka Moon the Loon is probably my favorite drummer and yes he earned the name Moon the Loon. The bass player John Entwhistle was called Thunder Fingers because of his amazing bass playing.
Keith freaking Moon 🔥
.....enough said
They use this song as the intro to an American tv 📺 show called: The Masked Singer!
John Entwistle on bass, alawys stood stoicly in the dark, but played the flashiest bass lines and wore the flashiest outfits. He was voted bass player of the millennium!
Also the babysitter of 3 unruly tottlers. His words not mine
And he played a 2 octave bass. Damn thing was 7 feet long. lol
Only Jack Bruce (RIP) of Cream is his equal.
aka The Ox, also Thunderfingers!
@@michaelfoster5577 Exactly so. Well said, Mikey.
Keith Moon absolutely beats the shit out of his drum kit. Love, watching him play!
Beats them like they owe him money.
Keith Moon "reknowned drummer"? Simple answer. Yes. Giant understatement. Yes!! Thanx tho for your channel.
one of the top 5 bands ever.
When music WAS music! Glad you did this one guys! 😀
Keith Moon wasn’t just the drummer - he was THE Drummer. Look him up. Great reaction guys … please check out Won’t Get Fooled Again and Baba O’Reilly, both amazing songs, I promise you’ll dig them both.
My uncle saw them in concert and said they were the LOUDEST band he ever saw! I was a young drummer and he told me about Keith Moon’s drumset which was huge back during his time! He said he was glad he wasn’t at the Cincinnati show because their was a stampede and lots of people were hurt and killed. Overall The Who was my uncle’s favorite band and one of my favorites too!
The best drummer in the world!
Keith Moon is like trying to contain a fire with gas.
The track was used as the theme tune to the CSI series ... great reaction guys
Keith Moon is always in a he top 2, 3, or 5 rock drummers of all time. He’s #1 on my list. Energy, energy, energy. He played with the singer and guitar. The bassist, John Entwistle played lead almost - always playing a counter melody, while Pete Townshend invented the power chords. Roger had to scream to be heard. All 4 thought they were the lead, and yet it worked (really well). Almost like Dixieland when all the instruments solo at the same time.

I was triggered by "I don't know if he's renown..." hahahaha. I HAD to comment too.
Totally agree and would add Neil Peart as my third favorite.
John Bonham, while a fine drummer, wasn't anywhere near Keith Moon in abilities or personality. Moon at 17 was acknowledged to be the fastest drummer in the world. He only got better as he aged, until he flamed out, OD'd and died. He might not have been the greatest. Maybe Ginger Baker should get that nod. The 60s saw many genius drummers emerge.
You forgot (PEDO) after townshends name
@@iamthecaptainofmysoul2293 Ah "Mr Justice"... Wait... no you aren't... Are you so presomptuous to take yourself for a god which "know it all" ? You sounds very toxic to me.
This tune is from their last great record in '78. This came out shortly before Keith Moon the drummer died. Broke my heart.
Yes, he was, and this is the last album the drummer Keith Moon made before he died way to young! He was also known for all the crazy stuff he would do like smash his drum set at the end of the concert!

Best concert I have ever been to! They demolish all their instruments after their performance! More,more,more!
Thanks guys, for doing the who I was one of the people who wrote the comments about The Who London band from the 60s. Thanks again George, one of your older subscribers in England, UK👍🇬🇧🍾
This is from 1978. That "Drummer" is the legendary Keith Moon, one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Next up, "Reign O'er Me".
Keith was the ultimate rock and roller, and one of the best rock drummers of all time.
Roger Daltrey has a massive voice. Saw him singing live at a concert a couple of years ago, now in his 70's. He was incredible and brought the crowd to silence for a moment as he really let it go. Serious rock royalty and a session I'll never forget.

Keith Moon was the inspiration for Animal, the drummer on the Muppets Show. He is also credited for inspiring the name of the band, Led Zeppelin.
ANYTHING from their huge catalogue is a banger.
Top tier British band.
The Who are considered the godfathers of punk rock,hard and progressive rock. Many bands that followed were heavily influenced. Keith Moon ,drummer,John Erstwhile,bass guitarist,Pete Townsend lead guitarist main songwriter vocalist, and frontman harmonica player Roger Daltrey are considered some of the GOATS and the best in each of their respective roles. So to answer your question the drummer is one of the greatest drummers ever!
R.I.P Keith. One of the best drummers to ever walk the planet. Good reaction - they didn't take long to get you rocking out 🙂
Its from 1978, 45 years old and sounds great

Keith Moon was one of the greatest drummers of all time passed away in 1980 great reaction rock on
1978, months after this came out
Keith Moon is always so interesting to watch. What a character he was!
So much great music from the WHO. I saw them at an indoor arena in '76 and I couldn't hear for three days.
Wont Get Fooled again is a true Rock anthem, Love Reign O'er Me is one of the greatest Rock vocal performances and The Real Me.. well just check out the incredible bass line. The best I ever heard in my opinion.
The Who performed at Woodstock, Monterey Pop, Live Aid, Concert for NYC, the Super Bowl, and they were the band which officially closed out the London Olympics in 2012. BTW, The Who is currently touring Europe.
Great group you’re discovering and yes you need to listen to more, including live. They had some of the best musicians around. John Entwistle was one of the greatest bass guitar players in history. Keith Moon was an amazing drummer and Pete Townsend? Guitar, piano, organ you name it he plays it. Roger Daltry is along for the ride of his life but makes the vocals come alive with so much energy. Wait till you see him twirling his mic during a live performance. Welcome down the rabbit hole which is The Who!
RIP Keith Moon probably one of best Rock Drummers of all time and a real character. You should listen ‘ I Won’t Get Fooled Again’ and ‘Ba Ba O’Riley’
Keith Moon ❤❤❤
It's easy to describe in one word. Perfection
Glad to see your reaction.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Yes, you need to hear a LOT more of The Who.
The Who are in a space all their own. Sort of their own genre. They have many good songs, as other commentors have mentioned. This song didn't hit me hard at the time of it's release, but it is definitely a banger. Love the video. Another great reaction. Guess you guys can't help but put out excellent videos. 😊
One of the greatest live bands, if not the greatest, to have ever existed.
Even before I watch, you picked my favorite band of all time. And yes, Keith Moon was insane. I mean that literally
Word of mouth about this HEAVY sound coming out of The Who's recording section made Paul approach John and the guys to write something heavy themselves. The result was Helter Skelter!!! Just a cool little factoid that's out there!!!
And Keith Moon was considered a crazy assed but skilled drummer. He was the inspiration for Jim Henson creating Animal!!! 🤘😝🤘
I have 2 books, one written by Pete and one written by Geoffrey Guiliano that cover Pete's life from childhood till just a few years ago. Both are amazing reads if you want to learn about all the members and their music. Pete(who I think is brilliant) was an absolutely tortured soul when it came to his musical experiments. Trying to get the sequencers programmed properly, live or in studio, is just one of the the imperfect things musically that he wanted to be perfect.He worked on it till he got what he was looking for. Genius.
Roger Daltry isn’t just a great gritty vocalist, he was a decent actor too. Played the infamous British Bank Robber ‘John McVicar’ in the film of his life ‘McVicar’. Most the music on the soundtrack is theirs too. Well worth a watch. 🔥👍🏼
Good film.John McVicar approved it.
Wasn't he in a 'bubble boy' movie? My memory is terrible, but I swear I remember him in a movie where he's in a giant bubble.
And also an immortal in the highlander TV series
Roger even appeared on an episode of CSI and flat out killed it.
Very nice reaction guys, to what many consider to arguably the greatest rock band of them all. And one of the most influential. For more great Who material, check out "Baba O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Love Reign O'er Me", "My Generation", "Young Man Blues", "A Quick One While He's Away", "See Me, Feel Me", "Behind Blue Eyes", "I Can See For Miles", "The Kids Are Alright" just to name a few.
Oh man, y'all are in for a treat! It is so fun watching people listen to these classic rock bands for the first time. The drummer, Keith Moon, was renowned for not only his musical prowess but his crazy antics. He's among the top three drummers; Neal Peart of Rush is probably the best (nicknamed the Professor) right along John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. With his band mates Roger Daltry, John Entwhistle & Pete Townsend, The Who gave us some timeless albums chock full of bangers. Keep going down this boulevard of phenomenal songs!
Keith Moon was such a great drummer, even Neil Peart admired his drumming. How big of a compliment when you can inspire Neil the other top drummer ever to live is a fan of his drumming style.
The vocals come out more clearly on the album cut of the song. There is also a third verse toward the end, and the overall ending is even better.
This version sounds a lot different than the one I've heard my whole life... ?
Hey guys. Thanks for that reaction and the video. The Who are Royalty when it comes to Rock Music. If you eved watched any of the CSI shows ( New York/Miami/ Original) they all have a Who song as their intro theme.
Original)
The Who are Rock. They were punk before punk was a thing. They had four leads; singer, bass player, drummer and lead/rhythm guitar. I don't know how they made it work, but they did;
Great reaction Sam and Phil! The Who is one of my favorite bands and I have listened to their music for a good part of my life. I was lucky enough to see them live in Pittburgh in the mid 70s. It was an amazing concert.
I believe that a lot of people will request songs from their Who's Next LP. It is an outstanding album and you honestly couldn't go wrong if you played the entire thing! I'm repeating myself, but I love your content!
The Who are, imho, one of the top ten bands of all time. They are spoken of in the same breath as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Segar, ect. They have a HUGE catalog of killer songs. As with many top tier bands, all of the members are considered to be among the best players in rock history. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is my recommendation for your next one but really, you could throw a dart at their catalog and hit a banger.
I never belittle anyone for not having heard classic rock. You can’t help when you were born or that music has devolved catastrophically since the 60s and 70s. I’m just glad to see you discovering it now and allowing me to share the experience with you. I was truly blessed to grow up during the golden age of music. Watching and listening as you hear these songs for the first time is like going back to the first time I heard them. You are why rock and roll will never die. When your time comes, be sure to pass the torch on to your kids and grandkids. Much love ❤️
So glad you guys did the "untainted" version. For decades, in MY radio market, the two "F-bombs" dropped in this song remained untouched.
But thank God the Morality Police swooped in a few years back and cleaned up the song for us.
Great reaction, guys! The Who are a fun rabbit hole to go down.
When I saw them live a few years ago, Pete and Roger at least, they opened with this song. Made for a kick-ass opener to a great concert.
There's a reason the drummer Keith Moon's nickname was "The Loon" RIP. You need to check out a live version of Don't get fooled again.
The band consists of
Roger Daltrey- lead singer
Pete Townshend Lead guitarist back up vocals and songwriter
John Entwistle bassist/babysitter RIP
Keith Moon drummer.
Each are one of the best at what they do. Love Reign O'er Me is a must.
Love love love this song first learnt about them on csi las vegas, daltry even starred in the show as a chameleon killer lol that was such a good show
Saw them in 1971 on the tour promoting the album at the Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville, Illinois, over 30,000 of us. Wishbone Ash opened the concert, all for the price of $2.00 for a lawn seat ticket. Jim
The Who… one of the GOATs of rock n roll.
Keith Moon was one of the greatest and most influential rock drummers and the reason I started playing drums over 40 years ago.
So many great Who songs to choose from. Anything off Who’s Next is great. I would recommend the studio versions, not the live versions that were recorded near the end of Keith Moon’s life.
If you want to hear Roger’s vocals shine, check out Love, Reign o'er Me from the Quadrophenia album. The Real Me and 5.15 are also bangers from Quadrophenia.
John Entwistle (the Ox) is basically considered the best contemporary bassist . Keith Moon (Moon the Loon) besides being a hyperactive crazy person was one hell of a drummer, Pete Townshend guitar/key and Roger Daltrey is a great vocalist They were certainly a big deal in the 60’s 70’s and into the 80’s.
