RIP the two members of The Who John Entwistle (October 9, 1944 - June 27, 2002), aged 57 Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 - September 7, 1978), aged 32 You both will be remembered as legends.
You already faded away if you don't care how the music evolved you have no concept of what music was like besides your hip hop in your freaking rap and another thing you are not the silver fox
“Hope I die before I get old”. Townshend, who wrote the line and Daltrey, who sing it, are respectively 73 and 74 and more alive than ever. (And still kickin ass on stage).
Riccardo Condorelli Keith Moon died days before he was going to appear in Life Of Brian one of the last people that seen him was Eric Idle that embodies the mentality
I was born in 83. Yet when I watch Dazed and Confused I feel like I should have been born in 1960. Could have grown up with the Beatles, Hendrix, Janis Joplin. Then, could have really experienced the 70s as were meant.
and your generation make us unable to afford anything decent and you mock us unable to be as successful as you. High price housing and student loans, outsource everything to foreigners. Your generation had it the best. No WW2, jobs are many with decent wages. You get to sell your "vintage" stuff for lots of money.
Music store owner: Why do you need 20 drum kits? The Who: Cause we have a tour with 20 stops. Music store owner: You need 1 drum kit for each stop? The Who: Yes, do you have any gunpowder?
We sang, "I hope i die before I get old," now we are all bloody old and still a live... Well most of us. hahaha. Some us still hate the establishment!!
Keith Moon was simply outstanding, in this song. Just love the way he performed, as a a drummer. He was one of the best timekeepers, in terms of Rock n Roll music, among many others throughout his whole entire generation, if you really want to know my honest opinion. Unfortunately, Keith Moon has most certainly died much too young, before he got to grow old. Thank you! Johnny, Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦
@@juliemanarin4127I disagree, Bonham is the best drummer, but it's not like Moonie was a million miles away, his playing style was different in a way but still manic and brilliant. I think what separates them is Bonzo's drumming was filled with plenty of new techniques for the time that were simply outstanding and revolutionised the definition of rock along with the rest of zeppelin whereas moons insane energy really worked in his favour and made a lot of songs recorded by the who. So in short terms, you're right. Long term, it's a lot deeper
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Spencer Davis Group, The Animals, The Moody Blues, The Who, The Kinks, Cream, The Zombies, and in the later 60's Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Yes, King Crimson. Deep Purple, Black Sabbath. England always had the better bands.

Two hundred and eight seconds of pure, unadulterated rock and roll. A song for this generation,my generation, your generation-in fact EVERY GENERATION. 🎸🎸🎸
16 when this record was released and hit me between the eyes---never thought I would make it to 65 tho, but ho hum.....yes it was a dynamic time then--- I will probably be singing this at the weekly sing song in the care home in 20 years time.....:(
Listening to this both when it was brand new and now is like being caught in a time warp. I can still picture myself rockin' in my '52 Plymouth Cranbrook with a tube radio when I was 19.
I was born in 91' and my brothers on the next 2 years and we grew up listening to The Who thanks to dad. Can say the 90's early 00's was the latest era of really good music, but nothing compares to THE WHO. What a band.
This is my generation in England what wonderful days great to look back.... mods and rockers.. beatniks .... bikes and scooters .... The Who My Generation...

People don't realize how far ahead of its time this song and band was. Theres punk, hard rock, prog rock in there ten years before it happened, lots of key changes, a bass guitar solo!! Practically unheard of in popular music of the time and even now. Back in those days, bands used to be pretty boys smiling and wearing matching suits. Then along came the Who, the first proper band. Not a backing band for a lead singer or 2 songwriters. 4 real musicians.
What a time to be alive in London,I was certainly there at the time but sadly only a little boy of about five or six living in the Holland Park/Notting Hill Gate area,so although I remember hearing this song on the radio I wasn`t yet old enough to be going to all the events and cool West End clubs and live music venues to see all the great bands like The Who...Aaaaarrrrrggghhhhhh!!
so, im 16 and I just joined a band called imagine that Lead singer is 55 Drummer is 44 Bass player is 32 rhythm guitar is 20 Lead Guitar is 16 and we just played this at our first gig after months of trying to find a bar that would let a 16 and 20 year old play. Perfect
+zackattack94 not about making it big, just about making something, making a few songs and playing in front of a crowd. you don't need a stadium filled with people.
This was a song of MY generation ! Love the men in bowler hats too - my dad became a ‘ man from the ministry ‘ when he worked at the Ministry of Transport in London and had to cross Blackfriars Bridge on his way to work !!!!
So many thoughts run through my mind with this song. I think about what parents at the time though when they heard this coming from their kids bedrooms. The lyrics. The drums at the end. So far ahead of their time. Heavy metal in it’s infancy. Love it!!
@@Sillimant_ I mean you can't deny that 60's and 70's had the most influence on modern music (and no this isn't me saying modern music is bad just gotta go where to look)
Every generation wanted to be different and rebel against their elders. The boomers, Xers, Millennials and now Gen z. We all want change one way or another.
This song was written when Boomers were rebelling against authority. Now they are authority (or are aging out of power and nostalgic for when they ran things). The "hope I die before I get old" was Townshend recognizing in 1965 that his generation would eventually turn into everything they hated. How very right he was.
I remember ‘ winkle pickers ‘ too and visiting Carnaby Street . I hate heights but a neighbour got us tickets to the Post Office Tower before it even opened and a I felt physically sick being at the top and looking down on the TINY people below ! I remember Winston Churchill and Mary Quant too ! Plus the boutiques Biba and I was Lord Kitchener’s Valet !Mods and Rockers , Aldermaston marches and student protests !!!!

I love the shot of the late Diana Rigg at 2:22. The Avengers with Mrs. Peel was one of my favorite tv shows, as was Game of Thrones.
People don't realize how far ahead of its time this song and band was. Theres punk, hard rock, prog rock in there ten years before it happened, lots of key changes, a bass guitar solo!! Practically unheard of in popular music of the time and even now. Back in those days, bands used to be pretty boys smiling and wearing matching suits. Then along came the Who, the first proper band. Not a backing band for a lead singer or 2 songwriters. 4 real musicians.
That bass ! Pure genius !
I found this from "A Silent Voice" and I'm absolutely VIBIN'. I love the vibes this gives off, just childish fun!
shut up

CONNIE GOT YOU
What a time to be alive in London,I was certainly there at the time but sadly only a little boy of about five or six living in the Holland Park/Notting Hill Gate area,so although I remember hearing this song on the radio I wasn`t yet old enough to be going to all the events and cool West End clubs and live music venues to see all the great bands like The Who...Aaaaarrrrrggghhhhhh!!
I love how energetic and angry this song sounds.
Any a silent voice fans here bc this song is a BANGER!.
so, im 16 and I just joined a band called imagine that
Lead singer is 55
Drummer is 44
Bass player is 32
rhythm guitar is 20
Lead Guitar is 16
and we just played this at our first gig after months of trying to find a bar that would let a 16 and 20 year old play. Perfect
Imagine that
diden't... left... good looks
+zackattack94 Fuck off honestly
+zackattack94 not about making it big, just about making something, making a few songs and playing in front of a crowd. you don't need a stadium filled with people.
+zackattack94 totally is if that's your opinion. but for some there's alot fun and fulfillment in it.
I'm 57. This song makes me a teenager again. I swear! If you don't believe me, you can just f-f-f fade away!
That generation definitely has the best music👌
Yes they did kids now in THIS generation don't know what they're missing.
My boss know where it’s at. Old fucker, still works, and he still listens to all the great things in the day.
@@serrazimmerman5046 We got memes
@@coolperson962 yes. But i am talking about Music wise.
Cheered one of the most important bands in the history of popular music
Almost sixty years old and still the fight song of the rebel youth, that is rock and roll !
I used to be indifferent to the line "I hope I die before I get old," but the older I get, the more I appreciate its meaning.
This was a song of MY generation ! Love the men in bowler hats too - my dad became a ‘ man from the ministry ‘ when he worked at the Ministry of Transport in London and had to cross Blackfriars Bridge on his way to work !!!!
anyone listening and watching this video in july 2024, you are blessed. they sure don't make music like this anymore. thank God for youtube.
My favorite baseline on any song!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So many thoughts run through my mind with this song. I think about what parents at the time though when they heard this coming from their kids bedrooms. The lyrics. The drums at the end. So far ahead of their time. Heavy metal in it’s infancy. Love it!!
This song will be relevant until the end of time.
no one can comment 'oh this is real music , what shit youngsters listen to today' if someone does he doesn't get the meaning of the song
I’m a gen z and I Iike this song Better than most newer songs
Justin Vancuran fucking revolutionary, lmao

@@C-tron you don't get this song
no fuckyou oh shit oh fuck. What you said doesnt change my point
i dont care what generation where in this song will never die, this song will live from generation to generation. MAN-UNITED ALL THE WAY.

Ha! I feel blessed :) I've lived through United lifting 12 league titles and 2 CL's
MUFC! Okay!

@@Sillimant_ I mean you can't deny that 60's and 70's had the most influence on modern music (and no this isn't me saying modern music is bad just gotta go where to look)

Hey you might enjoy a band called The Doublejumps if you like The Who
Every generation wanted to be different and rebel against their elders.
The boomers, Xers, Millennials and now Gen z. We all want change one way or another.
🤔 I wonder if there's a name for the babies who are born during the pandemic??

@@claymore32 talking bout my generation
Im a oldies fan and im proud that Silent Voice used this song in the movie💖💖
Oh to be back in the 60's again...... memories light the corners of my mind....
I will always love This song
Heard it once while watching “A silent voice” and I couldn’t get it out of my head it is just that good
Piss off with your anime Bs
Gen Z: "OK, Boomer"
Boomers: "My Generation"
Power move: Use My Generation against the Boomers
I don't get why everyone is calling this a boomer song when it couldn't be more Gen X.
This song was written when Boomers were rebelling against authority. Now they are authority (or are aging out of power and nostalgic for when they ran things).
The "hope I die before I get old" was Townshend recognizing in 1965 that his generation would eventually turn into everything they hated. How very right he was.
I'm a Gen Z and it seems like being a Boomer is cooler.
@@Flowering_nights it must be really cool to support segregation

"Why don't u all just ffffffff......fade away" he really wanted to say fuck 😂😂
I thought he was gonna tell us all to fuck off. lol :)

he originally fell over the line, they kept it in and expanded upon it
It's making fun of Mods.
So true
I remember ‘ winkle pickers ‘ too and visiting Carnaby Street . I hate heights but a neighbour got us tickets to the Post Office Tower before it even opened and a I felt physically sick being at the top and looking down on the TINY people below ! I remember Winston Churchill and Mary Quant too ! Plus the boutiques Biba and I was Lord Kitchener’s Valet !Mods and Rockers , Aldermaston marches and student protests !!!!
I was surprised to hear this in A Silent Voice as well.
Instead of the ‘ok boomer’ stuff, let’s listen to it and agree that it’s a brilliant song
OK Boomer

It's catchy it's very British and Vietnam warish
"I hope I die before I get old"
Classic.
The delivery of the words is thoughtful and genius
