I love what Alice Cooper said. He said, "Maybe half of what you've heard about me, or Jim Morrison, or Ozzy Osbourne, is true. *Everything* you've heard about Keith Moon is true. And you haven't heard the half of it."
I have been a Moon fan all of my life. I'm sure I would have found him annoying, obnoxious and many other things if I randomly met him, not knowing him, but reading about his life from start to way too early of a finish and watching and hearing the best rock and roll drumming ever...I adore him and think about him as a lost boy. Bipolar, ADHD and self medicated, he got caught up in the fame and fun and couldn't stop himself. He didn't know how to be anything other than the fun and wild Keith Moon and that became his sad path to assured self destruction. A sad clown with a happy face. Flamboyant and loud to cover his insecurities and sadness. One of a kind and so special that we still love, study and are entertained by him nearly forty years after he left us.....
Wow I think you hit the nail right on the head there, Ginger Ann... I did actually meet Keith once in the early 70s, quite randomly, and had a slightly weird sort of conversation with him that left me with an impression of him pretty much as you describe, plus a bit of the (sorry to have to say it) rockstar delusionary ego thing, that presumably comes with the territory. That unexpected/unsought-after insight into his private life touched my heart though, and I was very sorry to read, only a few years later, of his death.
@@JCStorm76 Its true he put on an accent, after Kit Lambert took him under his wing and mentored him. Keith then started to behave like Kit, such as putting on an upper class accent, when really he was a working class kid from Wembley. Read a book called 'Dear boy' a biography about Keith
Keith Moon: Drummer, singer, showman, actor, raconteur, connoisseur of wine & spirits, demolitions expert, original Hollywood Vampire and all around renaissance guy.
Joy isn't the word I'd use for an addict with BPD who beat his wife, neglected his child, pulled a gun on someone, and killed a friend because he was too high to notice they were behind the car...
Imagine Moon, Jim Morrison, John Belushi, and Sam Kinison all together for one big hotel-trashing party. Within the first hour the governor would be calling in the national guard.
That would be so epic, the craziest would be Moon then Kinison, stripperes naked pile of Cocaine on table bottle's of booze everywhere, what a party that would be, I don't think I would survive the night
*@CapAnson12345* Is that so ..? .....bet you'd stand in line to care for this bloated manic depressive ..... ....Encourage him to take horse tranqualizers ......and let others pick up the pieces... .....all for the sake of our "interesting" world......Tragic waste, because he made The Who magic till about 1970 .
Oh yeah I’m sure all the people who’s lives he ruined would agree. Like his limo driver who he ran over and killed in one of his drunken attention seeking episodes. The world sighed with relief when he killed him self.
The man has always been my spirit animal! Kids today have no clue..If it's already been thought of, moonie, or someone from the 1st wave of rock superstars, have already done it.
At that time, I would be the height of incompetence in the hotel industry not to put Keith Moon into a room with a bed and tv bolted in place (although I can picture him getting tools from the roadies to “show dem ‘otels” that he couldn’t be stopped! RIP Dear Boy....you are still missed by many 42 years later....
Doc who performed autopsy said his interns organs have at least 25 years than a man aged 32. Coz he was sort of "icon", the Doc did very well the autopsy and toxicology.... He found in blood and urine : coke, gin, champain AND 32 heminevrin's pills, even if only 6 were digested
That must have been euphoric...even without medications...I would have been so high on life- no drug could ever have gotten me higher....I am so envious!!!
Don Gilreath Because these days, everyone is so uptight. They would put him on a terrorist watch list or something. Those kinds of shenanigans won't be tolerated in the new world order.
Everytime I watch or listen to Keith Moon he always has me smiling away. On the drums he was just a beast the best drummer imo but also he was such a mad as hell individual the wild things he used to do in hotels putting explosives in his drum kit I mean he is is the epitome of Rock & Roll
Thanks to insurance for the gravy train, we will never see this kind of superior appearances again by actual legends in entertainment. This skit is priceless. I wish I could have been there.
Steve Martin, playing his part so well. Utter calm, as the hurricane, that is Keith Moon, swirls around him. Can't rehearse this, other than a little blocking, and cues. You get one take.
That was so funny (with great touches of sadness)... I'm pleased to say I seen Keith live with the Who in the summer of '76 at Parkhead in Glasgow. quite incredible even all these decades later...
Ol’ Moonie probably took every narcotic you could think of in excess for most of his adult life and managed to survive. He then dies of a prescription drug overdose meant to help him quit drinking. Can’t get any more ironic than than that. So sad
Disclaimer: No actual hotel rooms were harmed in the making of this video. 😜 Now that that's out of the way, I have to say, that was a brilliant bit of comedy.
Moon died from an overdose of Heminvevrin, a drug used to treat alcohol withdraw symptoms. If he were a regular citizen, they probably would have kept him at a treatment facility and administered it under medical supervision. Some alcoholics should never attempt unsupervised home detox. John Bonham died from excessive alcohol consumption within a 24 hour period. He choked on his own vomit. Alcohol is the only drug that withdrawal symptoms can be fatal. What a terrible loss of two incredible musicians.
It was a completely fake accent that he started to affect in the mid 70’s, he’s from Wembley and his real accent is much more like cockney. Check out the Russell Harty interview from 1972 as an example of his real voice.
The first fifteen seconds of Live At Leeds proves your point beyond measure. Cheers. RIP Keith Moon, John Bonham, John Entwistle, Freddie Mercury, etc...
John Thomas, No doubt about it! A master of the kit, Bruce Lee of Drums, Jimi Hendrix of drums.... Innovative and a whole percussion section in one, amazing man!
Frickin brilliant, 2 wild and crazy guys with one actually parodying himself. Keith really was the master. O and by the way he also played drums... for the greatest rock n roll band. The Master Race Blues Band.
From what I gather Keith was a true philanthropist at heart. I think if he survived and got clean before his last year alive, he would have been a great advocate for sobriety, and he's probably have a hospital wing or two named after him. Can you imagine the Keith Moon Rehabilitation Center? What these rock stars needed to do (and still do) is invest some of that wealth back into rehab and therapy for themselves and others, which I'm sure is already going on.
Yep. Of course, I think part of why Keith's addictions got the better of him was the fact that he held himself responsible for the death of his personal assistant. After that happened he totally went off the deep end for years. If he had survived he might have been an advocate for sober living, but still been a madman and maybe he could have finally broken into the movies and become a great comedic star.
Joe Walsh probably came closest to suffering Keith's fate, but finally cleaned up, and looks better than ever. It's a shame Keith never could get there.
Strange watching this now... I can clearly remember the day(s) that he died. I had just left school and was working in a lumber yard... there was a long haired hippy type guy (looked a bit like Mick Fleetwood) who we used to call 'Brian the Lion.' He was inconsolable... 'Who Are You' had just been released... and they were playing it non-stop on the radio... 'He said, you can go sleep at home tonight ... If you can get up and walk away.' I think that within a week, Brian the Lion himself was dead... drug overdose or something... that is now 41 years ago... frightening...
Moon the Loon destroying hotel rooms and throwing television sets off the window is one of the most epic rock star signatures. Another practical joke I always enjoy is how Tony Iommi used to set Bill Ward on fire.

If you're not rich, famous and a highly respected artist such behaviour as exhibited by Moon would likely get you locked up repeatedly in mental hospitals. Perhaps it is better to be a little subdued since society is not very forgiving.
I love what Alice Cooper said. He said, "Maybe half of what you've heard about me, or Jim Morrison, or Ozzy Osbourne, is true. *Everything* you've heard about Keith Moon is true. And you haven't heard the half of it."
What a bore; needs a proper job and some dignity
Yeah, the video is called Behind the scenes with Alice Cooper - Keith Moon
That face Keith makes when he asks if they’d like to listen to his story is adorable, mischievous, and absolutely one of a kind. RIP Keith Moon.
There will never be another Keith Moon.
I love the Roger Daltrey quote about Keith Moon; "The Who were not about making music. The Who were about keeping Keith on his fucking drum kit."!

@MusicalElitist1 Why do you think he was autistic?
Keith was the kind of guy you'd love to bump into, or go see him at his house but you don't tell him where you live!!!
Yes we all know
No one was like Moonie; he was a 1-of-a-kind gem. Every art needs a Moonie to lighten up the world.
He was surprisingly well spoken and educated when you see and hear him away from all the madness.
Inteligent man as well
Not his real voice - completely invented. He wasn't posh at all.

Guys Keith moon needs a room.
Let's give him one with a water bed.
Kinda asked for it didn't they?
Keith just expressed such absolute JOY in being KEITH MOON. You can only keep that up for so long and Keith did! Thanks for the years you were here.
Amen. But, you just know that some of them hours had to be a bit scary too. Ain't easy bein' out there like that, on all the time.
absolute 'JOY' of being Keith moon?? Did you ever read anything about him?? His life was a nightmare.
😢🙏👍
Joy isn't the word I'd use for an addict with BPD who beat his wife, neglected his child, pulled a gun on someone, and killed a friend because he was too high to notice they were behind the car...
I think he did it more to mask the pain from knowing he accidently killed his chauffeur.
Pete said, " Keith's drumming was faster than a machine gun." That's insane. I feel like he was the heart that kept the blood flowing. Peace.
There was a guy in my high school who was just like Keith Moon. You’re born that way.
alcohol helps
I think Keith definitely changed after his accident that killed his driver. He became more self-destructive.
Imagine Moon, Jim Morrison, John Belushi, and Sam Kinison all together for one big hotel-trashing party. Within the first hour the governor would be calling in the national guard.
Throw in Joe Walsh, and we'll call it a day.

To split hairs, 'spirit animal' is a type of animal that a given person identifies with, not a fellow human whom one admires.
Any hotel that would knowingly rent a room equipped with a waterbed to Keith Moon deserves what it gets.

Back in '76, for my first ever concert, I went to the Super Bowl of Rock and experienced Keith Moon + The Who!! They also had their laser show, too...
No one has balls to be a true rock star any more...long live rock...long live Keith Moon😎😎😎😎💗

Just the right amount of agression for maximum comedic effect.

Keith and Peter Cook recorded some stuff.
He did hang out with Graham Chapman (of Monty Python fame), but I dont think they created any media together.
Damn, what a character! He was so excited to Share that hotel story, just to hit The punchline.”Well I destroyed 3 rooms in one fell swoop!”

Keith John Moon was a sheer force of nature.
Over the past few years I have stayed in a great number of hotels, I can quite understand what drives people to want to wreck them.

"The scariest thing that ever happened to me was when Keith Moon said he liked me."

He looked so young here. He looked 20 years older the following year just before he died.
Moon is a legend, but without a doubt he is the Jack Torrance of Drummers.
The Shining?
I bet Keith would've trashed the shit out of Room 237.
Keith probably would've scared off the ghosts.
"Hhheeerrreee's Keith!" 😛
Hard to think he died only the year after. He actually looks quite well there.
He looks about 35 lbs. heavier here than he looked in The Who’s hey-day, the late 60s-early 70s.
Jesus he looks like he aged 10 years in just a year because he looks so different in his final interview a year later

If I had a nickel for every wanna be tough guy who got half of that sentence out right before we threw down...
I’d have 2 wheelbarrows full of nickels.
I never hesitate... you shouldn’t either.
Because if you do it’s nap time.👋🏻👍🥃
Ps... Who the fuck asked you?
ADD?
#1 Best drummer of all time. He'd probably still be here if it weren't for alcohol.
Nah there have been far better drummers.
@@imogenimeson664, you're absolutely right!
i think the same for john bonham
Alcohol didn’t kill him, the perception drug he was given to quit alcohol did.
The greatest drummer and mischief maker in rock history...the hotel manager's nightmare...KEITH MOON!!
@@keithbeck2300 Amen, Brother!!
I was fortunate to see the original who twice - great drummer - mate of Oliver Reed imagine those two together in a bar !!
I like how Melissa Manchester was slightly afraid of Keith…and rightfully so. There was no telling what he might do next!
during this segment, he was exhibiting the indurance of a Who set...Hours of spastic drumming.
Keith had the best laugh, it makes me laugh just hearing it sometimes lmao
Today, people like him are put on medication to subdue their personality
Only if they ask for it...
If you're not rich, famous and a highly respected artist such behaviour as exhibited by Moon would likely get you locked up repeatedly in mental hospitals. Perhaps it is better to be a little subdued since society is not very forgiving.
and they also live past they're thirties!
