So glad we decided to check out another one of their tracks! What’s the next The Who song we gotta check out?! Give us a BANGER and upvote the ones you agree with! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻
Andy & Alex really nice video guys, keep up the good work!! Since you like 70s progressive rock, you should listen to Rush: Cinderella Man 1977, and Best I Can 1975.
Who are You?, My Generation, I Can See for Miles, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, and I'm Free from "Tommy." Thanks for showing up guys, I was feeling bummed. :)
They have so many great songs...Behind Blue Eyes, I Can See For Miles, Sqeezebox, one of my favs is a corny song sang by the bass player called Boris the Spider.
How fucking great were these guys? It's no exaggeration that there are SO MANY great, great songs of theirs to discover. Monster band, live and studio. It's popular for a reason, "Who Are You" is mind blowing despite it's frequent airplay back in the day. Rawk!!
Townshend would disagree. He thought it was the Who’s weakest. I understand his POV because four of the songs come from his abandoned “Lifehouse” project and the rest are kinda filler. That said, far and away my fave except for Tommy.
Dems and Repubs are both sides of the same coin. A private club that controls the vote and gives you the choice of a shit sandwich or a sandwich full of shit. That's your freedom. And the true players laugh watching the citizen huff and puff over nothing.
That album has so many great songs. My favorite is "The Punk and the Godfather," but "Love Reign O'er Me," "5:15," "The Real Me," and "The Rock" are all golden.
This is hands down one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The message is straightforward but profound and is encompassed in the last line. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The song is an anthem and a message to the ordinary man.
THAT's what it is! I said from the 1st I heard this group in the 1970s that Keith Moon doesn't play drums like a percussive support, but like a real instrument. It's not percussion. It's competitive with guitar or keyboard or lead vocal. Self-taught; classic training didn't ruin him.
@@chris...9497 Yes................Moon played "lead drums".......just like Entwhistle played lead bass....................................Townsend was along for ride
John ”Bonzo” Bonham was LEGENDARY for playing on top of the groove with the lead singer, not the bass/back You guys need to check Led Zeppelin to experience Bonzo.
I saw them at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin last month. Roger's voice has never sounded better, Pete's still doing the windmills. Incredible show.
I saw them in 2016 in Indio, California at a three day festival called Desert Trip where they were one of the six artists that played along with Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and Paul McCartney. I have always loved The Who because of their guttural sound and I really wanted to hear the CSI theme songs live...they did not disappoint! 💥😎💥
Pete Townsend wrote the song in the in 1967. When asked if the title alluded to drug use he said no. It was a song about a man with very good eyesight................................
Scott. They are talking about music. The lyrics have to do with exactly what they are saying. Much of the 60’s and 70’s music was about standing up for the weak or oppressed people against powerful governments. They referenced revolution AND Meet The New Boss Same As The Old Boss. People are still being oppressed AND killed. By governments including ours So yes they are talking about the music. There was a reason they chose those words and they wanted us to listen AND think about it. They were just skillful enough to put it to GREAT music at the same time. But don’t let that distract you from the message.
@@raymondharris8814 Neil Peart was heavily influenced by Moon, Buddy Rich and Bonzo. Geddy was heavily influenced by John Entwhistle. In my opinion, Neil is the greatest percussionist to draw breath on this earth but what does my opinion matter? Give credit where it's due and rest well.
That was probably the closest I'll ever come to getting to experience this song again for the first time. Watching you guys totally feel the breakdown there, the drum fills and then Daltry's yell was amazing. Thanks for that.
I never took it for granted. I simply observed how things kept improving with time as I moved through it. I thought 1985 was a pinnacle year for music as it was happening and I couldn't imagine how much better music could possibly get. But then the progression stopped and has remained so for the past 20 years. In '88, Bono sang, "You glorify the past when the future dries up."
@@Bigbrotheriswatchingus I sort of worded it a bit wrong, too. I never took quality music for granted despite personally having never known life without it. I took the continued progress of music for granted. The quality of music should be far beyond where it actually is today - but it's not.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, it was expected for the older crowd to not "get" what was happening at the time. Today, however, it's not my age that turns me off. It's having grown up in an era when more was expected from musicians and more was delivered by them. I haven't actually enjoyed something new since I first heard Skrillex, "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites" in 2011.
To think that this was what was on radio at the time . There was junk on the airways as well but enough of this kinda excellence to more than make up for it.
Lost in all of this organized chaos is a sensational bass line by John Entwistle. Always remarkable to listen to a cut in which all four superstars are at the top of their game.
My all time favourite.... I think. Or maybe, Love Reign O'er Me, or maybe The Song is Over. ... and .... maybe Live at Leeds Amazing Journey/Sparks, the 10 degree temperature drop at the beginning of Sparks.
“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss” pretty well sums up the lyrics. All 4 of those guys are all stars, Daltrey is an example of a lead singer that makes a huge difference. Thanks again! Those 70s/late 60s bands are the best.
And it's great our Black brothers are getting into Zep, Sabbath, Floyd, Slayer and dissing Gangsta cRAP. Won't get fooled again by Beyonce, Snoop and all the other CIA stooges!
@@marksieczko7766 I've noticed a LOT of the reaction videos to groups like Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Who, Janis Joplin, etc. are african-americans that are of the younger generations that are just blown away at the music they missed because they were born after my generation and now discovering it and love it because they find out how incredible the music is.
I love bands from the all eras but think its unfair to say that the 60s/70s were the best. 80s had Joy Division, Stone Roaes, Cure & more the 90s had Radiohead, Nirvana, Oasis & more the 00s had Coldplay, White Stripes, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, & more & the teens have the Foals, Amazons, Nothing but Thieves & Royal Blood. All of these bands are brilliant guitar bands with great songs backed up by drummers who really know their way around their kits. Muse specifically are out of this world live. Modern music is just as good but you have to go to the right places to find it & stay well clear of the simon Cowell dominated charts with his pipped 4/4 beats for teenage girls & their grandmother's.
As do I. It's kind of validating for oldies, such as myself, to see two young guys, with musical chops, getting their rocks off with a near 40 year old masterpiece like this.
@@colinswain9740 Yeah, they remind me of myself when I was their age. The Who were my favourite band and I was fortunate enough to see them live 4 times in the 80s. I was also into Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. We were lucky to be around when those geniuses were in their prime.
@@robthornton6288 After seeing The Who four times, you have to be suffering from a form of industrial deafness, as they were touted to be the "loudest band on Earth"!! And it was a time for great musical acts. In Australia, there was a massive "pub band" culture, which spawned some great bands. AC/DC is probably the best example. What a time to be alive!
@@colinswain9740 Pardon? 😊 Yes they were loud, fortunately I wasn't too near the speakers, but you could actually feel the sound, especially when John Entwistle was really doing his stuff on the bass guitar. There is one clip on here of him doing an amazing bass solo on 5:15. Well worth a watch.
The Who track that sticks out for me is “Eminence Front” - largely due to the amazing bass work. It takes patience with the song to get to it, but Entwistle has some phenomenal runs in that track.
I was just about to suggest this. One of my favorite songs of theirs. I don't know if it's true, but I heard Entwistle used piano strings for the tone and more attack, sort of like SRV using heavy gauge strings for his sound.
Was that their "farewell" tour? I saw that one in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. Billy Squire was the opening act, and he got the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders on stage during "The Stroke."
Matt Krogmeier, Eminence Front was the last song i ever heard ******STONED****** I remember standing in a bar with friends drinking and hearing this. I was like WTF this song never ends... Since then whenever i hear that song i think back when the first time i heard that awesome tune. GREAT TIMES.
If you want to hear the best bassist in Rock history at the top of his game, listen to "The Real Me." Entwistle and Moon were one of the best rhythm sections ever put together.
Andy, as a guitar player you'll probably recognize Pinball Wizard when you hear it. But if not, it's one of those songs that's relatively easy to play, but sounds SO effin' good once you get the strum down correctly. Pinball Wizard is on the Tommy album. Pete was just 23 when he wrote this historical masterpiece!
I grew up with the Elton John cover of "Pinball Wizard" from the movie version of "Tommy". Man that version rocks so hard n nasty! Boys, you must play both versions back to back.
Luv the way you just get totally lost in the song, but then just suddenly both open your eyes and smile at each other in mutual appreciation 😁👍🏻 So good to know that these great songs will continue to be known, listened to, enjoyed and appreciated by younger generations. All is not lost. Keep up the great work guys 👍🏻
For my money, they were one of the top ten rock bands of all time and this, along with My Generation (Live at Leeds album is the best version), are the anthems of my youth and signify the angst of youth, especially for those of us coming of age in the late '60s and early '70s. The Who, and especially Pete Townsend's inner personality and Keith Moon's craziness, hold a special place in my heart. Although I didn't see them, they actually played as the warm up band for The Buckingham's AT MY HIGH SCHOOL in Nov. of 1967! Just google "Shawnee Mission South" and "The Who" to see the pictures and read the story.....
A&A - This was perfection! Was bangin' my head w/ you two. When the organ/synth breakdown came, I was just waiting for that Scream to get ya! haha. I know there will be plenty of discussion, so won't go on... Great job & beyond happy you loved this. "It was sooo good"... No doubt (lol). Happy day to you! :) Oh! Yes Alex - Keith Moon is a frickin Animal on the drums...Need to witness!
@@Reani71 I heard that as well, but no confirmation. And, agree... Every characteristic of 'Animal' does fit Moon. Hmm. I'm curious now! haha Let me know if you find out... I'll do same, ya? :)
@@lisaw5604 I actually googled it some minutes ago and there's no evidence for it... it's just a legend that persisted throughout the years... other sources claim that Mick Fleetwood or John Bonham were role models for Animal (fantastic drummers as well), yet again: nothing was said about it by the makers. But legends and rumors always contain some truth, otherwise people wouldn't come up with it and I even thought of Keith Moon when I watched Animal before I heard about that. So, whoever invented this muppet must have been a great student of rock music in general and drumming in particular and I'm also sure that he was a big fan of Keith as well.
@@Reani71 I'm diving in at moment. True. Myths and rumors do tend to pan out over time. I did find that there's a possible 4th drummer... Steve Mitchell, a fabulous well-known sessions drummer (did 12 Charlie Brown specials, etc). He was a friend of Jim Henson's and named as "one" of the inspirations? So, Animal may be an amalgamation of them all. Fun to think about, though! Thanks, Reani -- Have a great day! :)
I was at the live show on the Quadraphonic Tour in San Francisco, and luckily they did this song and it was perfectly killer! Not long after that is when Keith Moon passed out of the drum stool, and they had to break. Came back played next song, and it happened again. Pete came out and asked if there were any drummers in the house, and the Cow Palace went nuts! Picked a guy in audience, and played all old Who songs after with him to close show. Unbelievable for that guy. He did a good job as well. Unforgettable!
The story with the scream goes: The Who recorded the bulk of "Who's Next" using the Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio, which, during the vocals for this song, was parked in the driveway of Keith Richards' manor home, Stargroves. Roger was singing in the basement, to playback in the headphones. Upstairs, various Who and Stones were having breakfast. The spacey keyboard bit was long enough that they'd momentarily forgotten he was down there. When Roger ripped that scream, it startled Keith Richards so much he fell out of his chair. The only scream in rock history to even approach this is Jim Morrison's from the live version of "When the Music's Over".
The Who, one of the best examples of what teen and young adult rebellion was like back then. No safe spaces, no trigger words, and no special bathrooms. Grit, backbone, and defiance backed by attitude and muscle.
I know you guys love to hear that deep album cut that really is there most kick ass song and for The Who that song would be THE REAL ME off of Quadrophenia!
The Who’s rock opera “Tommy” should be fun listening for you guys. So many great songs. Too much for your videos but do yourselves a favor and just kick back and listen to the album sometime. The Old Boomer
High school sucked but the music from '69 to 78 was awesome. So many different genres on the radio, from Motown, hard rock, folk rock, country(real country. Not the pop they call country nowadays), reggae, disco. And most of it was political, which added h and meaning to the whole music scene.
Keith Moon was an insane drummer. He loved to play opposite of most drummers. Throwing fills in during the vocal instead of inbetween. Vocalist Roger was laughing hysterically when talking about it while listening to the album a few years back. Such a unique band.
LOVED your faces at the end....was waiting for it...the build-up, the drums, that damnfabulous scream of Roger's....WOOOOOOO!!! They got you guys and they got you GOOD!!! So cool to watch this...a new generation 50 years later, jamming to the Who. This song and Happy Jack made me want to be a drummer. And made m e fall in love with Roger's voice forever. LONG LIVE THE WHO!!!
Roger Daltrey's primordial scream/yell in this song might be the best in rock history. Even better live! This song spoke loud and clear to the baby-boom generation. Revolutionary, angry, activist, untrusting of world leaders and their senseless wars. (remember, Vietnam war was still raging at the time with all the violent protests that surrounded it.) This song served as a backdrop to those extremely turbulent times. Today we have close to a civil war between two political parties. Back then it was close to civil war between two generations of Americans. Extremely intense. College campuses all over the country were in turmoil. The song promises that this generation - our generation - Will Not Get Fooled Again! It became an anthem. And that yell... a fucking battle cry. Which brings me to the next classic Who song you should check out. "My Generation". Also "Behind Blue Eyes". ☮ 🤘
I had the EXACT same reaction you guys had when I first heard this song, lo these many decades ago. That was the cool thing about the 60s and 70s, there was so much amazing new music... I was having that same reaction ALL THE F#@KING TIME!
Its an anti-revolution song. It has the attitude, emotion, rawness, virtuosity and power that defines the Rock genre. No one has ever been as good at it as The Who were.
Every so often, I come back here to see you both react to "the scream" and how it melts both your faces, and I smile. Plus, the song gives me as much adrenalin as a cup of coffee, which I need to finish a paper I'm working on. So, thanks!
It is incredible to see young people who truly appreciate music, hear the greatest Rock -N- Roll scream ever fucking recorded for the very first time. "Who's Next" came out in 1971 and has left me in a state of "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!" ever since. I'm happy to witness a younger generation appreciate it to the same extent. You guys are terrific... I return often to see how you perceive the music of my youth. You bring me back there more often than not and I cannot thank you enough for doing so.
I’m so glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, hearing great music every day, great live concerts you guys will never see, nice to see you discovering it and hopefully appreciating it, nice guys
I'll never forget seeing The Who take the stage at The Concert for New York after 9/11. They hadn't been on American TV for so long, and the crowd went nuts. When they did this song I had tears in my eyes. It felt like the power of our music was going to make things ok again. I love them if only for that performance alone.
@@eugenehootie7194 I remember paying $10.00 to see Queen in Boston in 1980. I was a bit turned off by having to pay a 25-cent "convenience fee". But then I was almost outraged when I had to pay $12.50 in 1982 to see The Who and The Clash on the same bill at Shea Stadium!!! Ahhhhh.............the good ol' days. BTW, I don't even remember how this happened, but I was 17 years old in 1982 but I had no problem buying beers at Shea Stadium that day. I didn't have a fake ID or anything. I think I still had braces on my teeth!
Went to see the Stones at the University of Alabama in 1972. My friends and I thought the ticket price was outrageous. $6.50 !!! But we justified paying that much because, after all, it was the Rolling Stones.
I've been a Who fan for over 40 years and it took me several decades to finally realize that Love Reign O'er Me is THE greatest song ever written by anyone. The way Daltrey's voice goes from calm and sweet to full Leather Lungs Daltrey mode in just a few seconds is absolutely incredible. Keith Moon's drumming on this one is beyond the beyond great!
The GREATEST Rock and Roll Scream EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME I HEAR IT!!! Like I didn't know it was coming! This is one of my all time favorite songs (one of about 120,000)
I love watching your reactions. Heartfelt, informed and full of love for the music. Thanks for not constantly interrupting at inopportune times. I've heard this song a million times (I'm old) and I've watched another reaction vid of this song and they interrupted it right in the middle of one of the most powerful screams in rock history. Thanks for playing the whole thing through.
Most overlooked part of The Who, and rock in general, is John Entwhistle. He is killin it on bass!!! Listen to a few of their songs on just focus on bass. You will leave knowing that is an all-time great on bass
Damn, I never realized how incredibly good these classic, old songs are. I took them for granted most of my life. This is brilliant. Keith Moon's drums had me from the start.
So glad we decided to check out another one of their tracks! What’s the next The Who song we gotta check out?! Give us a BANGER and upvote the ones you agree with! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻
Love Reign O'er Me -- Essential. :)
My Generation
Andy & Alex really nice video guys, keep up the good work!! Since you like 70s progressive rock, you should listen to Rush: Cinderella Man 1977, and Best I Can 1975.
Who are You?, My Generation, I Can See for Miles, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, and I'm Free from "Tommy." Thanks for showing up guys, I was feeling bummed. :)
They have so many great songs...Behind Blue Eyes, I Can See For Miles, Sqeezebox, one of my favs is a corny song sang by the bass player called Boris the Spider.
Roger Daltrey's primal scream, at the end, is one of rock's most iconic moments - glad you discovered it, peace.
Also his version of "Wheels on the bus " is epic :P
No doubt.
It's also the in the intro to CSI Miami
The drum solo right in front of it (I think Moon's only drum solo with the Who) has been called "the most thrilling 18 seconds in rock."
For me that last scream of Daltrey's is the 'money shot' of rock music. It's all been "cuddling and afterglow" ever since.
For my money, the greatest scream in the history of rock and roll.
Also, I've often jokingly referred to Keith Moon as the Lead Drummer of the Who.
@@LeChaunce So did he!
I don't know. Kurt Cobain might be better in my opinion. 😄 I think Jim Morrison had some pretty memorable screams too.
@@m.gideonhoyle409 LOLOLOL!
@@bruzerbites1318 Jim Morrison was a great screamer.
I hope you appreciate the lyrics "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" Classic line with a lot of meaning.
I can't think of a better line in rock music.
One of my all time favorite lines.
@@schirmc1 Springsteen got called The Boss because of it
Daltrey's scream near the end has been described by many as the moment that defines Rock 'n Roll. They're not wrong!
Exactly
Have you noticed, that most every Rock Documentary has Daltrey's "Scream" in their intros? Says it all. Full stop. ;)
That & child in time..
How fucking great were these guys? It's no exaggeration that there are SO MANY great, great songs of theirs to discover. Monster band, live and studio. It's popular for a reason, "Who Are You" is mind blowing despite it's frequent airplay back in the day. Rawk!!
Definitely the greatest scream in the history of rock and roll.
These kids ain’t dumb. They recognize a rock masterpiece when they hear one.
True.
I've seen a lot of reaction channels. These guys actually get it.
no argument, tho the thoughts aren't mutually exclusive
by which I mean me and all my dumbass buddies loved this in the 70s
Jim, ditto, for me and all my dumbass buddies, this was the 70’s
”Who’s next”. One of the best rock albums ever made....
I say THE best, and overall I’m not a big Who fan
Townshend would disagree. He thought it was the Who’s weakest.
I understand his POV because four of the songs come from his abandoned “Lifehouse” project and the rest are kinda filler.
That said, far and away my fave except for Tommy.
Keith Moon's Drumming: Controlled Chaos
Keith Moon's Life: Chaos
"Love Reign O'er Me" Showcases Daltry's voice.
Love that song
agreed...really shows off the pipes
Too bad we lost two of the greatest drummers of all time in the span of two years. RIP Keith Moon and John Bonham.
Play Sparks and See Me' Feel Me from their Woodstock performance.
They need to make sure that it’s the original song sung by Daltry & not Pear Jam’s version.
"Meet the new boss, same the old boss." 45 years later, still the same
Bernie is the exception we have waited decades for...... Go Bernie2020
@Tammy T hahahaha. Yeah, as unamerican as FDR.

@@kevincarrigan6348 does he wanna be the boss? Because that's the point.
I think we have a New Boss is is finally not the same as any of the Old Bosses :)
Jamal aka Jamel has asked his subscribers to show you guys some love. Thought you might like to know. That's how I got here
They know! They love Jamel! Hope you love A&A as muchas we do! They know know a lot about music
Yah me as well. I love Jamel and you guys are also so into the music.
Jamal and A & A are the tied for the best!
Jamel is such a genuine nice guy. Love both of y’all.
Definitely " Who Are You". You'll love it!
Good choice. That's a "cranker-upper" :)
I'd like to add a few obscure tracks by the who: "Bargain", "Join Together", "5:15", "Pictures of Lily", "Happy Jack".
Too many!! Lol.
The original CSI theme track! Classic!
If u believe this i got a bridge in Brooklyn i want to sell u
@@vincebalosky771 believe what??
Love reign o'er me. And behind blue eyes. Other good songs by the who
Love Reign O'er Me for sure!
Love Reign o'er me shows a differnt side of the Who. Great song. Love Behind Blue Eyes as well.

he did get fooled again.
This whole album is a masterpiece. Every track is a winner.
The essential Who album. Keith Moon is a BEAST!!
Enuff said. If ur a rock n roller u have this album in ur collection. If u don't, u just don't get it.
It's definitely one of my "Trapped on an Island" albums. lol.
And they even left another great album's worth of material in the can around then.
Agreed. Some say Tommy or Quadrophenia are their best but, as good as they are, they can’t top Who’s Next.
My Generation was a mid sixties statement about change . Won't Get Fooled Again is how quickly those dreams were dashed by 1971.
Yes, absolutely right...it all happened so quickly...killed a dream...so sad
@@dlmdee Amen, brother.
And look at us now? Meet the new boss same as the old boss.
The reason Keith Moon was so different is that he played the melody rather than the backbeat. He is the only drummer I have ever heard do that.
Funny that's how i taught myself yo drum.
THAT's what it is! I said from the 1st I heard this group in the 1970s that Keith Moon doesn't play drums like a percussive support, but like a real instrument. It's not percussion. It's competitive with guitar or keyboard or lead vocal. Self-taught; classic training didn't ruin him.
@@chris...9497 Yes................Moon played "lead drums".......just like Entwhistle played lead bass....................................Townsend was along for ride
John ”Bonzo” Bonham was LEGENDARY for playing on top of the groove with the lead singer, not the bass/back
You guys need to check Led Zeppelin to experience Bonzo.
Carl Palmer of ELP does it too, although with a completely different style.
Love your reaction when Roger Daltrey does THE scream. I was waiting for it....😂
Woke his ass rrriiiggghhht up!!! 😆
The most rocker singer in history!!!! 🤘🏼😎
The only comparable scream I've heard is by James Brown "I'm a greedy man"
When I was a teenager listening to this song in bed, I would doze off and practically jump out of bed when that scream erupted.
I searched for Won't get fooled again reactions - this one is truly the best! These two lit up like no one else did.
“Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss” is all you need to know. Watch Pete do the windmill. The Who is rock and roll at its best.
I saw them at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wisconsin last month. Roger's voice has never sounded better, Pete's still doing the windmills. Incredible show.

So true.. Used it a few times when the company changed managers.
That is THE line...awesome. Happy Holidays
The entire album is a 10. Not a bad song on it.
Correct! 👍
100%. Running order matters too
It's an 11
Early 70's. I was 13-14 and got this album in the Columbia House 10 for a dollar promo. It defined the meaning of Rock and Roll for me.
@rocketrabble6737 I'll raise you 9.
I can see for miles and miles!! One of my all time favorites by The Who.
That song was my favorite in highschool in the 90s😂
Cat Jones - it’s such a perfect song! Especially after a breakup!
@@CA-tz2sg Me too, but in the 70's ;-]
Buddy of mine dated a girl named Ann Myles.
I thought it was funny.

Great song guys. Behind Blue Eyes and Love Reign O'er Me are excellent!
Love Reign O'er Me is a masterpiece
Love Behind Blue Eyes, but it's not really a "Banger" like Andy and Alex are looking for.
Yes. It does get going in that middle section.
Their reaction at Daltrey's first scream made me laugh. Just wait, guys...the best scream in rock and roll history is mere minutes away 😱
Ditto
Exactly. I just smiled.
Look out at the world today. This song is as relevant now as it ever was.
Stand with Hong Kong!
Unless you have a shoe deal.
Oxmustube ouch

Keith Moon was a drumming maniac! Right up there with John Bonham!
You do not go through life without this album. LOVED your reaction guys! ❤️
Moon, Bonham, Ginger Baker, Bill Ward and Peart are some of the very best drummers.
He definitely had a style all his own. May he rest in peace.
Didn't you mean to say a drumming "Loon"?😁
Keith was around before bonhan and in my opinion better
@@raymondharris8814 Neil Peart was heavily influenced by Moon, Buddy Rich and Bonzo. Geddy was heavily influenced by John Entwhistle.
In my opinion, Neil is the greatest percussionist to draw breath on this earth but what does my opinion matter? Give credit where it's due and rest well.
That was probably the closest I'll ever come to getting to experience this song again for the first time. Watching you guys totally feel the breakdown there, the drum fills and then Daltry's yell was amazing. Thanks for that.
8:28 The best rock and roll yell of all time.

I have come to the sad conclusion that at the time, 'we' just took it for granted.......Now I realize just how good it all was.
I never took it for granted. I simply observed how things kept improving with time as I moved through it. I thought 1985 was a pinnacle year for music as it was happening and I couldn't imagine how much better music could possibly get. But then the progression stopped and has remained so for the past 20 years. In '88, Bono sang, "You glorify the past when the future dries up."
@@LordHasenpfeffer I sort of worded it a bit wrong, really this music was all we had...As modern music...?
@@Bigbrotheriswatchingus I sort of worded it a bit wrong, too. I never took quality music for granted despite personally having never known life without it. I took the continued progress of music for granted. The quality of music should be far beyond where it actually is today - but it's not.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, it was expected for the older crowd to not "get" what was happening at the time. Today, however, it's not my age that turns me off. It's having grown up in an era when more was expected from musicians and more was delivered by them. I haven't actually enjoyed something new since I first heard Skrillex, "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites" in 2011.
To think that this was what was on radio at the time . There was junk on the airways as well but enough of this kinda excellence to more than make up for it.
Lost in all of this organized chaos is a sensational bass line by John Entwistle. Always remarkable to listen to a cut in which all four superstars are at the top of their game.
I'm to the point where I listen for the bass in every one of their songs right from the first note.
"Behind Blue Eyes." I'm 65, my vote should count more, lol.
@Mike Phalen You made me so happy with "I'm 65, my vote should count more, lol." Have a great day!
My all time favourite.... I think. Or maybe, Love Reign O'er Me, or maybe The Song is Over. ... and .... maybe Live at Leeds Amazing Journey/Sparks, the 10 degree temperature drop at the beginning of Sparks.
I vote for "Behind Blue Eyes" too. My vote should count just a little more than yours, I'm 67. lol
@@dinodasbunce6224 I am just a poor boy of 60, so my story is seldom told.
@@anthonysinfield4778 I vote for Song is Over
“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss” pretty well sums up the lyrics.
All 4 of those guys are all stars, Daltrey is an example of a lead singer that makes a huge difference.
Thanks again! Those 70s/late 60s bands are the best.
And it's great our Black brothers are getting into Zep, Sabbath, Floyd, Slayer and dissing Gangsta cRAP. Won't get fooled again by Beyonce, Snoop and all the other CIA stooges!
@@marksieczko7766 I've noticed a LOT of the reaction videos to groups like Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Who, Janis Joplin, etc. are african-americans that are of the younger generations that are just blown away at the music they missed because they were born after my generation and now discovering it and love it because they find out how incredible the music is.
I love bands from the all eras but think its unfair to say that the 60s/70s were the best. 80s had Joy Division, Stone Roaes, Cure & more the 90s had Radiohead, Nirvana, Oasis & more the 00s had Coldplay, White Stripes, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, & more & the teens have the Foals, Amazons, Nothing but Thieves & Royal Blood. All of these bands are brilliant guitar bands with great songs backed up by drummers who really know their way around their kits.
Muse specifically are out of this world live.
Modern music is just as good but you have to go to the right places to find it & stay well clear of the simon Cowell dominated charts with his pipped 4/4 beats for teenage girls & their grandmother's.
I come back to this one every so often just to see you guys get blown away again.
As do I. It's kind of validating for oldies, such as myself, to see two young guys, with musical chops, getting their rocks off with a near 40 year old masterpiece like this.
@@colinswain9740 Yeah me too
@@colinswain9740 Yeah, they remind me of myself when I was their age. The Who were my favourite band and I was fortunate enough to see them live 4 times in the 80s. I was also into Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. We were lucky to be around when those geniuses were in their prime.
@@robthornton6288 After seeing The Who four times, you have to be suffering from a form of industrial deafness, as they were touted to be the "loudest band on Earth"!! And it was a time for great musical acts. In Australia, there was a massive "pub band" culture, which spawned some great bands. AC/DC is probably the best example. What a time to be alive!
@@colinswain9740 Pardon? 😊 Yes they were loud, fortunately I wasn't too near the speakers, but you could actually feel the sound, especially when John Entwistle was really doing his stuff on the bass guitar. There is one clip on here of him doing an amazing bass solo on 5:15. Well worth a watch.
John Entwistle. a legendary bass player in rock and every wee guy wanted to play drums like the maniacal Keith Moon.
The best rhythm section in rock ever imo
personally my favorite drummer is Neil Peart but keith is definitely a close second
i remember, and you are correct sir.
video Keith Moon was a favorite of Neil's
Everyone should check out Entwistle isolated on RUclips. Best ever imo.
This is arguably the best album of the 70s. It is DEFINITELY in my top 10.
Thing is...there were so many good albums then, it's almost futile to make a list. I would rather call it essential, a must listen.
Pete Townsend One of the greatest songwriters EVER.
Thee greatest….
The next banger: Love Reign O'er Me
Daltrey's voice will absolutely blow you away on this one. And Keith Moon on the drums.....unbelievable!!!
bostonwhofan epic
Don't know where I read this, but Daltry was quoted as saying, " we had a lead bassist, a lead drummer, and a lead guitar."
You can almost see Townsend doing the windmill at the end.
The Who track that sticks out for me is “Eminence Front” - largely due to the amazing bass work. It takes patience with the song to get to it, but Entwistle has some phenomenal runs in that track.
I was just about to suggest this. One of my favorite songs of theirs. I don't know if it's true, but I heard Entwistle used piano strings for the tone and more attack, sort of like SRV using heavy gauge strings for his sound.
Specifically the 1982 live version in Canada.
Was that their "farewell" tour? I saw that one in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. Billy Squire was the opening act, and he got the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders on stage during "The Stroke."
Agreed! One of my favorite Who songs.
Matt Krogmeier, Eminence Front was the last song i ever heard ******STONED****** I remember standing in a bar with friends drinking and hearing this. I was like WTF this song never ends... Since then whenever i hear that song i think back when the first time i heard that awesome tune. GREAT TIMES.
"The Real Me" is a fantastic track to check out. Great bass lines. Entwistle and Moon are on Fiyyyyaaaa!
Yes! Truly a banger! I love Moon's drums on it.
John Entwistle puts on a goddam clinic with his bass on that one
If you want to hear the best bassist in Rock history at the top of his game, listen to "The Real Me." Entwistle and Moon were one of the best rhythm sections ever put together.
The most powerful voice in the history of rock. The man's voice could blow out the back wall of any club or venue on the planet!!!!!!
"The Real Me" If you dig bass, this is a must listen.
The Quadrophenia soundtrack is just full of incredible songs.
YESSSS! That bass line goes off!
The bass on this song is epic, just epic - true banger in every sense.
Bass...and drums...and guitar...and awesome vocals. All incredible. Definitely give this a listen.
Love, Reign on Me
I second Who Are You? and add Pinball Wizard to the 'bangers' list :)
Andy, as a guitar player you'll probably recognize Pinball Wizard when you hear it. But if not, it's one of those songs that's relatively easy to play, but sounds SO effin' good once you get the strum down correctly. Pinball Wizard is on the Tommy album. Pete was just 23 when he wrote this historical masterpiece!
Forgot about that one. Great cover.
I grew up with the Elton John cover of "Pinball Wizard" from the movie version of "Tommy". Man that version rocks so hard n nasty! Boys, you must play both versions back to back.
Luv the way you just get totally lost in the song, but then just suddenly both open your eyes and smile at each other in mutual appreciation 😁👍🏻 So good to know that these great songs will continue to be known, listened to, enjoyed and appreciated by younger generations. All is not lost. Keep up the great work guys 👍🏻
YEAAAAAHHH!!!!
My Generation is a great Who song
Yes, in the version Live at Leeds
Probably their most famous song. There was a tv programme on last week all about that song and how it defined a generation
Chris Davies what was the programme called?
For my money, they were one of the top ten rock bands of all time and this, along with My Generation (Live at Leeds album is the best version), are the anthems of my youth and signify the angst of youth, especially for those of us coming of age in the late '60s and early '70s. The Who, and especially Pete Townsend's inner personality and Keith Moon's craziness, hold a special place in my heart. Although I didn't see them, they actually played as the warm up band for The Buckingham's AT MY HIGH SCHOOL in Nov. of 1967! Just google "Shawnee Mission South" and "The Who" to see the pictures and read the story.....
"Pinball Wizard," and "Man Behind Blue Eyes" are also very good.
A&A - This was perfection! Was bangin' my head w/ you two. When the organ/synth breakdown came, I was just waiting for that Scream to get ya! haha. I know there will be plenty of discussion, so won't go on... Great job & beyond happy you loved this. "It was sooo good"... No doubt (lol). Happy day to you! :) Oh! Yes Alex - Keith Moon is a frickin Animal on the drums...Need to witness!
@Lisa W
Glad you were diggin’ it with us! 🔥🤟🏻
legend goes that 'Animal', the drummer from the Muppets, was inspired by Keith Moon and I can totally see (and hear) why
@@Reani71 I heard that as well, but no confirmation. And, agree... Every characteristic of 'Animal' does fit Moon. Hmm. I'm curious now! haha Let me know if you find out... I'll do same, ya? :)
@@lisaw5604 I actually googled it some minutes ago and there's no evidence for it... it's just a legend that persisted throughout the years... other sources claim that Mick Fleetwood or John Bonham were role models for Animal (fantastic drummers as well), yet again: nothing was said about it by the makers. But legends and rumors always contain some truth, otherwise people wouldn't come up with it and I even thought of Keith Moon when I watched Animal before I heard about that. So, whoever invented this muppet must have been a great student of rock music in general and drumming in particular and I'm also sure that he was a big fan of Keith as well.
@@Reani71 I'm diving in at moment. True. Myths and rumors do tend to pan out over time. I did find that there's a possible 4th drummer... Steve Mitchell, a fabulous well-known sessions drummer (did 12 Charlie Brown specials, etc). He was a friend of Jim Henson's and named as "one" of the inspirations? So, Animal may be an amalgamation of them all. Fun to think about, though! Thanks, Reani -- Have a great day! :)
I was at the live show on the Quadraphonic Tour in San Francisco, and luckily they did this song and it was perfectly killer! Not long after that is when Keith Moon passed out of the drum stool, and they had to break. Came back played next song, and it happened again. Pete came out and asked if there were any drummers in the house, and the Cow Palace went nuts! Picked a guy in audience, and played all old Who songs after with him to close show. Unbelievable for that guy. He did a good job as well. Unforgettable!
COOL story!
Dude- I met John Entwhitsle in Cabo Wabo in 1998 and actually talked to him about this! True story
Not too many people know this, but the mystery drummer was actually George Santos.
That drummer must’ve thought he had died and met his Maker.
5:11 they looked at each other impressed by Daltreys little sqeak...
I was watching the rest of the waiting their heads to literally explode at 8:27
"Dude!" LMAO
Truth!
It’s easy to forget that the studio track has actually 2 screams. That one halfway through is just a little appetizer ;-)
They didn't disappoint!!!
It was like they discovered the meaning of life.
Definitely one of the best screams in any rock song. Whenever I hear this song I will scream along with Roger Daltrey.
I love watching you guys. It makes me feel like I'm back 45 years listening to it for the first time.
No matter if your mind is blown in 1979 or 2019 this song is timeless lost in the sauce work of art!!
LOVE RIEIGN OVER ME THE WHO IS MIND BLOWING!!!!
The story with the scream goes: The Who recorded the bulk of "Who's Next" using the Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio, which, during the vocals for this song, was parked in the driveway of Keith Richards' manor home, Stargroves. Roger was singing in the basement, to playback in the headphones. Upstairs, various Who and Stones were having breakfast. The spacey keyboard bit was long enough that they'd momentarily forgotten he was down there. When Roger ripped that scream, it startled Keith Richards so much he fell out of his chair. The only scream in rock history to even approach this is Jim Morrison's from the live version of "When the Music's Over".
Would love to see y'all react to Love Reign O'er Me, very different from this tune but still absolutely amazing!
The Who, one of the best examples of what teen and young adult rebellion was like back then. No safe spaces, no trigger words, and no special bathrooms. Grit, backbone, and defiance backed by attitude and muscle.
I'm with you on that Jack !
That's the fact, Jack!
Hey, I resemble that remark!!
Yes! Can we stop with all the super sensitive, too easily triggered , not ltting people say what they want to say?! Thank you!
Well said ! Read my comment PLEASE. It is very close by.
Keith Moon didn't play the drums...he attacked them.
Keith Moon brutally bent, folded, spindled and mutilated the Drums.
He played them REAL HARD, too!!!
Like a temper tantrum....
Beat them senseless.
They were bad and needed to be punished. Keith should have been wearing an executioners mask...
In the argument for greatest rock song of all time.
I'll take it over Stairway every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
To me, this is the single greatest rock song of all time. Better than Stairway. Better than Layla.
It is the greatest rock song of all time....so, let's start a discussion....
Comfortably numb?
absolutely! One of about fifteen or twenty songs that could reasonably considered as such.
I know you guys love to hear that deep album cut that really is there most kick ass song and for The Who that song would be THE REAL ME off of Quadrophenia!
The Real Me and 5:15..
Yes!
One of the best drum songs, one of the best rock and roll screams, great lyrics, great song!!!
"MAGIC BUS" live at Leeds 1972...
1970
This whole album, got me through some tough times in '72, high school days......
The Who’s rock opera “Tommy” should be fun listening for you guys. So many great songs. Too much for your videos but do yourselves a favor and just kick back and listen to the album sometime.
The Old Boomer
Graduated in 72, gotcha!
Me too.
High school sucked but the music from '69 to 78 was awesome. So many different genres on the radio, from Motown, hard rock, folk rock, country(real country. Not the pop they call country nowadays), reggae, disco. And most of it was political, which added h and meaning to the whole music scene.
Grad 75. Music still blasts in the car.
"Keith Moon said, Let me fill in between these fills with a regular drumbeat"! Brilliant! You guys are the best reviewers ever.
"How many drums should I play?" "Yes." Love it!
This music was poetry to us, like our Homer.
Keith Moon was an insane drummer. He loved to play opposite of most drummers. Throwing fills in during the vocal instead of inbetween. Vocalist Roger was laughing hysterically when talking about it while listening to the album a few years back. Such a unique band.
Greatest scream in Rock n Roll.
been up for 3 years and always brings a smile. Love you guys, thank you.
“I Can See for Miles “ if you want to hear some awesome drumming.
This is really early Who, if you want to look at their progress.
Substitute also! So subtle.
LOVED your faces at the end....was waiting for it...the build-up, the drums, that damnfabulous scream of Roger's....WOOOOOOO!!! They got you guys and they got you GOOD!!! So cool to watch this...a new generation 50 years later, jamming to the Who. This song and Happy Jack made me want to be a drummer. And made m e fall in love with Roger's voice forever. LONG LIVE THE WHO!!!
Roger Daltrey's primordial scream/yell in this song might be the best in rock history. Even better live! This song spoke loud and clear to the baby-boom generation. Revolutionary, angry, activist, untrusting of world leaders and their senseless wars. (remember, Vietnam war was still raging at the time with all the violent protests that surrounded it.) This song served as a backdrop to those extremely turbulent times. Today we have close to a civil war between two political parties. Back then it was close to civil war between two generations of Americans. Extremely intense. College campuses all over the country were in turmoil. The song promises that this generation - our generation - Will Not Get Fooled Again! It became an anthem. And that yell... a fucking battle cry.
Which brings me to the next classic Who song you should check out. "My Generation". Also "Behind Blue Eyes". ☮ 🤘
One of the ten greatest rock songs EVER. Hands down.
"Bargain" has always been a banger.
I had the EXACT same reaction you guys had when I first heard this song, lo these many decades ago. That was the cool thing about the 60s and 70s, there was so much amazing new music... I was having that same reaction ALL THE F#@KING TIME!
I remember taking family vacations and hearing "I can see for miles and miles from the Who. My old man even liked it!
Most drummers sync with the bass players for their groove. Moon synced with Daltry which made him so unique.
Its an anti-revolution song. It has the attitude, emotion, rawness, virtuosity and power that defines the Rock genre. No one has ever been as good at it as The Who were.
Every so often, I come back here to see you both react to "the scream" and how it melts both your faces, and I smile. Plus, the song gives me as much adrenalin as a cup of coffee, which I need to finish a paper I'm working on. So, thanks!
"The Real Me" for sure. The bass will leave you dumbfounded!
Yes. For full force Who, it's The Real Me.
It is incredible to see young people who truly appreciate music, hear the greatest Rock -N- Roll scream ever fucking recorded for the very first time. "Who's Next" came out in 1971 and has left me in a state of "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!" ever since. I'm happy to witness a younger generation appreciate it to the same extent.
You guys are terrific... I return often to see how you perceive the music of my youth. You bring me back there more often than not and I cannot thank you enough for doing so.
My Generation (another great The Who song) is greatly enjoying you guys' reactions! Also impressed by your views-to-thumbs up-to-comments ratios!
I’m so glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, hearing great music every day, great live concerts you guys will never see, nice to see you discovering it and hopefully appreciating it, nice guys
That album behind you was top notch from start to finish...one of the top 5 ever.
Just imagine the joy and uplift the first responders felt when The Who played this for them at The Concert for New York right after 9/11.
Karen Nyere you’re getting fooled again..don’t tip your hat to the new constitution. NWO will put you in chains!
That show was soooo good..I cried like a baby. I had joy, anger, sadness, fury and vengeance in me.
Yes, blessings to them all, respect.
Behind Blue Eyes has musical range, extremely image and thought evoking lyrics and powerful performance all packed into a relatively short song.
I'll never forget seeing The Who take the stage at The Concert for New York after 9/11. They hadn't been on American TV for so long, and the crowd went nuts. When they did this song I had tears in my eyes. It felt like the power of our music was going to make things ok again. I love them if only for that performance alone.
I feel sorry for the younger generations. They’ve no idea of the music that they’ve missed.
I may be old, but I got to see all the great bands.
@@eugenehootie7194 I remember paying $10.00 to see Queen in Boston in 1980. I was a bit turned off by having to pay a 25-cent "convenience fee". But then I was almost outraged when I had to pay $12.50 in 1982 to see The Who and The Clash on the same bill at Shea Stadium!!! Ahhhhh.............the good ol' days. BTW, I don't even remember how this happened, but I was 17 years old in 1982 but I had no problem buying beers at Shea Stadium that day. I didn't have a fake ID or anything. I think I still had braces on my teeth!
Went to see the Stones at the University of Alabama in 1972. My friends and I thought the ticket price was outrageous. $6.50 !!! But we justified paying that much because, after all, it was the Rolling Stones.
They have no idea what music is,PERIOD.
@Mars Azorean
Hmm. Lol. This is why a lot of young people are leaving your generation’s great music behind. The pretentious attitude. Stay humble.
Check out The Who - Love Reign O'er Me.
I've been a Who fan for over 40 years and it took me several decades to finally realize that Love Reign O'er Me is THE greatest song ever written by anyone. The way Daltrey's voice goes from calm and sweet to full Leather Lungs Daltrey mode in just a few seconds is absolutely incredible. Keith Moon's drumming on this one is beyond the beyond great!
Side 2 Live @ Leeds is best R&R recording ever.
It’s so nice to see younger folks being initiated into these classics. It verifies that these songs are, indeed, classics.
The GREATEST Rock and Roll Scream EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME I HEAR IT!!! Like I didn't know it was coming! This is one of my all time favorite songs (one of about 120,000)
Who's Next and Quadrophenia are two of the best rock albums ever made.
Andy & Alex, you two just experienced THE rock and roll scream. That second scream in the gold standard. It's my ringtone.
I love watching your reactions. Heartfelt, informed and full of love for the music. Thanks for not constantly interrupting at inopportune times. I've heard this song a million times (I'm old) and I've watched another reaction vid of this song and they interrupted it right in the middle of one of the most powerful screams in rock history. Thanks for playing the whole thing through.
The song is a legend, band is a legend and kieth moon is a legend
Most overlooked part of The Who, and rock in general, is John Entwhistle. He is killin it on bass!!! Listen to a few of their songs on just focus on bass. You will leave knowing that is an all-time great on bass
The other big single on this album is "Behind Blues Eyes" ..a masterpiece
I never get tired of this song. EVER.
Damn, I never realized how incredibly good these classic, old songs are. I took them for granted most of my life. This is brilliant. Keith Moon's drums had me from the start.
-How many drums should I play?
-Yes
😂😂😂
I love it!
"All of them"
10, YES!!!!! So fun watching you guys relive my youth... high school freshman year.
Bargain, Love Reign O'Er Me, My Generation, Who Are You are some great ones.
The look of joy you had when you discovered THAT scream - perfection.
One of the few bands where each are flat out unleashed - and it works.
