That was my generation. I'm 70 years old and grew up with this music. The Who was my favorite band when I was a teenager.
Of all the British bands of that era, Daltry's voice, with that rawness, and almost folk like feel at times, was the best.
Agree about the prior generation, however, the 60's was extreme in comparison to the 50's. And it made the 70's much easier for us teenagers because nothing was like the 60's.
Sadly the end result was… WOKE!!!
@@bobbugwithoneeyeskingiskin8974 huh
I agree it was after World War II and everything changed on a level that never happened before
Absolutely agree. The change from the 50's to the 60's was gigantic.
@@angel-xi6ieThe Woke Generation is just the end point of the Hippy Ideology, made into an authoritarian religion! Replacing the organised religion, with a more chaotic ruleless one, that has this generation lost, leading them to destroy, instead of create! The 60’s generation has benefited because of the sacrifices and the wealth made by the ones before, only to squandered the futures of the following ones! The will have used up all the pensions, retiring earlier and living longer! The Heath Services at breaking point and the Western nation are all struggling with debt! Leaving the super wealthy ready to own all we once held dear and the population too weak in moral fortitude to fight back! And when they do, Brexit/Trump, they have been taught to back the mainstream, by accuse everyone of one type of ism or other!
The 60’s are the root of all present day problems and was not the start of a better future, as they often claim!
The stuttering (by one story I read) was originally an accident, but they decided to use it as a hook. It was meant to convey that the singer was high on speed, like a lot of their early fan base was. Playing to their audience!
I heard the same story about the stuttering in the song.
Townshend's demo already has a stutter, so it wasn't an accident
Was never an accident
I’ve seen in documentaries that it was there to replicate the stutters that came with doing speed (a popular drug among the mods at the time)
Daltrey had a stutter as he says below
People with stutters don't usually stutter if ever when they sing- Music is an activity in which you use the right side of the brain (language uses the left), so when you sing music, you’re no longer using your left brain (and probably no longer stuttering).
Roger Daltrey sang the lead vocals with a stutter, which was very unusual. After recording two takes of the song normally, The Who's manager, Kit Lambert, suggested to Daltrey that he stutter to sound like a British kid on speed. Daltrey recalled to Uncut magazine October 2001: "I have got a stutter. I control it much better now but not in those days. When we were in the studio doing 'My Generation', Kit Lambert came up to me and said 'STUTTER!' I said 'What?' He said 'Stutter the words - it makes it sound like you're pilled' And I said, 'Oh… like I am!' And that's how it happened. It was always in there, it was always suggested with the 'f-f-fade' but the rest of it was improvised."
The 60s was a ground breaking generation as far as morality & philosophy. We weren't necessarily right but we sure were different from anything before. 😁✌❤
@John Fischer as opposed to your rancid bigotry?
@John Fischer Jeremy Thorpe, old Etonian, establishment and cover-up. Cyril Smith, MP for Rochdale long before the more recent Rochdale abuse issues. 2020 neo-liberal economics - free to take your assets offshore and strip the country of tax income?
Asia & BJ, I'd recommend their softer "Behind Blue Eyes" next. Then "5:15" and "Love Reign O’er Me".
Keith Moon going nuts on his drums near the end of that song...
I turned 70 today!😳💯 My generation was radically different from my father's and those other old geezers!🙄 Now that I'm the geezer I understand it.😂❤✌
Happy birthday tom
Happy Birthday Tom and yes I know what you mean, though you have over a decade on me.
🥳 Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Tom! 🎂
1st bomb dropped by the Who. Remembered like it was yesterday for this 70 year old. The late Keith Moon didn't 'play' drums. He beat them into submission.
I have seen The Who twice in the last 10 years and the irony of "I hope I did before I get old" isn't lost on me. Half the band haven't! The stuttering was definitely a reference to people trying to slow down their speaking after taking amphetamine sulphate!
"Substitute", "Love Reign O'er Me", "Bargain", "The Seeker", "Slip Kid", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Squeeze Box"...so many good tunes from The Who to look at :)
You need to do a live one that shows Keith Moon in action on the drum kit too (Behind Blue Eyes live at Kilburn 1977 isn't bad) - he 's a hoot to watch. One drummer who should have had his kit set up at the *front* of the stage!
Agree with all the suggestions and YES you need to watch Keith Moon via one of the live performances. I think I've suggested it before but "A Quick One (While He's Away) from the Great Rock 'n' Roll Circus is an amazing performance by the Who
I’ve heard it said the stutter was a nod to the side effects of the amphetamines, popular in the era.
Love Reign O’er Me please
Absolutely there best
This was a jarring song at the time. "Why don't you all just f-f-fade away" sounded like he was going to say "why don't you all just f*** off." There were many things you couldn't say on albums, so you skirted around it." I think this came out in 1965.
Before metal, Sabbath or Zeppelin there was The Who...
Thx y’all! Do you know that the Rascals will make you groove? “People got to be free!” Is cool. I know you’ve heard them!
I agree with some here: you need to see this song live at Monterey Pop. You’ll get a keen sense of how this song “evolved” for them. It’ll open your eyes 😉
When Roger drags out the 'F' of 'fade away...', you just know he wanted to say something else that starts with 'F' but couldn't get away with it on a sixties recording.
Moon the Loon...killing those drums.
I was born in 1963...only 59,but I did grow up with!
Stuttering was the Amphetamines the Mods used and made them Stuttering so but it in song
John "The Ox" Entwistle on bass.
Oh my God, your faces when you start getting into his stuttering, love it. I wish I could press the "like" button fifty times! This song can be used by every young generation, and definitely the current one, I totally agree. You should SEE this band play this song. Drummer is going bananas, the guitarist jumping all over the place, the bass player boggles the mind with that bass solo....singer swinging his microphone.....and then they smash up their instruments at the end! (Anytime you see anyone do that, they're ripping off The Who).
I know its hard but you need to cast your mind back to 1965 when this song actually came out. It was chaotic, outrageous, dissonant and "punk" a decade before punk started. This song and album was right on the edge of rock/pop music. The end of this song, performed live, usually involved Pete destroying a guitar and one or more amps to get those sounds.
The Who is a great band, right up there with Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Queen, etc
If you want some current comparison to todays world ….. Won’t Get Fooled Again is so relevant right now. Love you guys !!! ♥️♥️
Great British band. Recommending, Who Are You, Pinball Wizard and You Better You Bet by them. Love and Peace. ✌🏼
There is a better version with a lot more energy on an album called "Live at Leeds".
Keith Moon was rock's greatest drummer. Listen to his sustained closing cascade.
GenX Im 50. Heard this, sabbath, floyd, hendrix and doors in the womb... literally.
I was born in 1956 so I feel I was lucky enough to grow up through the best years of music evva!!!!!!!!!!!! I always leaned more to country, but now that was when Country Music was really Country!!! Waylon for evva!!!
The stuttering....he's portraying a pilled up mod talking these lyrics... amphetamines make you stutter
Another 1960's anthem, affiliated with parents outrage at long hair, music, and clothing styles...gee, why does that sound familiar today? Oh...wait...
Keith Moon was a rock GOD. The drumming in the coda of this song is simply IN-SANE. (ps - the st- st- st- stuttering was meant to mimic the side effects of Speed, which a lot of mods listening to their records were doing at the time)
Happy Birthday to Roger Daltry (lead singer of The Who), just turned 78!
You might find a better drummer, but few who can do what Keith Moon does. He was insane. John Entwistle stood still on stage playing some of the greatest bass lines you'll ever hear, Pete Townshend was a very good guitarist, but a fantastic songwriter and excellent second lead vocalist. (John was the third.) In the early years Keith and Pete would end the shows destroying their equipment. This was 1965. In 1969-1970, lead singer Roger Daltrey's voice would change and get deeper and grittier and made the songs much richer for it.
I highly recommend watching live videos of The Who from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Many of their songscwerecwritten and recorded with acoustic guitars, which never appeared during their live shows. They were once rated the loudest band in the world. After the deaths of Keith and much later John, the band brought on extra musicians and worked harder to recreate the original songs
Maybe we should reassess this “if it feels good do it “ attitude that started with the Baby Boomers, which is the generation the Who represent. That’s led to the complete breakdown of cultural unity. I mean look where we’ve gone since the 1960s when these people were teenagers to 2022.
There was a big change between the 1950’s and 1960’s. Tight, buttoned up vs hippie and the Mod. The 1960’s was a sea change in culture.
My Generation" is a song by the English rock band the Who, which became a hit and one of ... Like much of The Who's earlier Mod output. Mods and rockers,mods scooter gangs and rocker biker gang what a pain.
I"m 72. Guess Who is one of my favorite '70's bands. Who is one of your favorite bands. Yes. Oh, who's one first!
In concert when they would into the final instrumental part of the song, Pete Townsend, the lead guitarist would smash his guitar on stage and swing it into his amp. Then the drummer, Keith Moon would smash up his drum kit. On The Smothers Brothers Show Moon put an explosive charge in his bass drum unbeknownst to his band mates that blew up on live TV. It’s on RUclips if you search for it.
Too bad you didn't pull up this same song which was sung on the "Smothers Brothers" TV comedy show from the 70's. The video has a classic Who ending to the song which they were famous for.
I think they missed the theme - a chaotic musical break with the bland orderly boring status quo of the past. It was an epic idea, brilliantly executed and groundbreaking for the time. Even now, you never hear chaotic music like that.
At the time methadrine was popular in London. One of the side effects was uncontrolled stuttering. He was poking fun at his generation. Or, maybe it was just a rumor.
Boomers Baby! We were huge and influenced everything till the 2000's
We had a saying "don't trust
Anyone over 30 " we had a real mistrust. Now we are passing the gauntlet to millennials
I really do not think you have a clue on this...do your research...if it is not that difficult? Obviously it is ....
I thought this was My Generation by Nas and Damian Marley and Lil Wayne. Wrong section lol
I'm going on 70, yep! talk'in about the Baby Boomers!
That manic drumming is by Keith Moon who was not only really a great drummer but was just nuts. He would kick his whole drumset over and sometimes set it on fire at the end of a show. He like so many others, died too early.
You don't hear that stuttering device used too often although I can think of examples going back decades even before this but for one that happened slightly later than this, and was a monster hit in the 70s and is funny as hell, check out Bachman-Turner Overdrive, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet. It's a really funny song and they do it so well and there is live version of it that is hilarious but you can still really see them Rock oh, and I seen other reactions to it so it doesn't seem like one that gets blocked.
“Why don’t they all just Ffffffade away.” We know what they were really saying. 😂🎶
please go and watch one of the best films ever which was quadrophenia.the who was heavily envloved in the soundtrack of that film.
Anphetamines would make Mod's stutter.
70s was good! The 60s. Was Great! Woodstock! Was a celebration of the 60s
The generation gap in the '60s was a whole lot wider than anything since. Your average parent at the time did not question the government. If the government said we needed to fight the war in Viet Nam, it was believed without question. If they said marijuana was as bad as heroin, it was not questioned. Civil Rights was an issue many older adults just did not get. Older people were stuck in their beliefs and could not see any other way. It was seen by the younger generation as if that as you age, you deteriorate. Adults did not stay active. You have to contrast that with the belief that there is a "parents just try to be their children's friends" attitude of today.
Can yall please react to Jeff Buckley "Lover you should have come over" or paramore "all i wanted"
Purposeful stuttering by Rodger Daltrey
Talking bout my generation. I'm now old enough now to say " these kids these days" lol
As old men, it's funny watching them in interviews, when people remind them of the 'hope I die before I get old,' line. Ah the innocence of youth.
Read up or watch about “The Generation Gap” of the 60’s and 70’s.
The studdering makes it sound like a generation of Elmer Fudd's.
That's not the original 45 recording! The stuttering is a nod to the effect of a certain popular drug of the 60s
Hey guys what's up great reaction keep them coming love your work. Please react to imtherealak family tree or let loose thanks.
I heard the stuttering became an idea when they wanted to swear on the F for fade away but wanted to say "Why don't you all FFFF*ck off" but it could be an urban myth... that's what i was always told..
This song was a theme to a great movie starring a young Sting Quadraphenia - well worth a visit
Should watch the LIVE video of this song!! 😁❤❤❤😁🤩🎶
Listen to the music, the Who were very influential musically. You hear them a lot in Rush.
Too many pills makes you stutter.The Mods were into uppers.
Got too remember the times. They were doing drugs and amphetamines make you stutter if you take enough.
I'm calling it. This is the first punk rock record of all time...
Squeeze Box, you'll love it...in and out and in and out.
The Who hung out with Mods who took a lot of Speed, which causes that jittery speech.
I think kids stuttered more then than now. I don't hear anyone stutter these days. I'm 73 and never thought I'd see 30.
Actually, the stuttering represents the amphetamine stutter, the subculture that they were in at that time uses speed and other pílls a lot. So this is also a kind of statement or "insider" hint.
The OX plays one of the first Bass Solos in rock history.
If you love them do listen to TRex "twenty century boy"
Still relevant after 60 years!
High school days…. Lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸
'Don't try to dig what we all say'. Nobody wants to hear the old people trying to be cool.
two of them died before they got old. it might be inferred that this song is about baby boomers.but all the band members were war babies.
The stutter was done on purpose. It was supposedly in the demo tape.
Yes, us 80's baby out here. Pepsi was made for us specifically. This is our generation. We are immortal Gods.
and 7 UP was the "uncola".
He stuttered once by accident and they liked it so they kept it.
Biutyfull very good around bajo
I just love how you guys crack little smiles during this, it's so great to watch. This is such a one-of-a-kind song/recording. Majorly influential, also.
The who are just an amazing group. Keith Moon one of the most unorthodox and best rock drummers of his time going nuts on the drums. That was Keith all over. You have to watch a video of them singing “young man blues” live at the Isle of Wight. You will love it
This version sounded a little different.
Now try the Live At Leeds version. blow u a way!
Yep
The stutter was fake, done just for effect
Thank you for sharing this with me
i like the version on The Who ... Live at Leeds
another legendary english band
I'm 68 it's my generation
The stuttering was on purpose
1965....ahead of their time.
The absolute classic👍😎
This song has one of the most iconic lines in all of rock n roll - "Hope I die before i get old."
Absolutely! Unfortunately many of the best did exactly that...
Keith Moon just went OFF!
G G G Good to see you react to The Who.
68 MY GENERATION TOO!!!!
Not the original mix.
The stuttering is meant to mimic the effects of speed. This is a huge signpost on the road to punk.
More early Who to hear: The Kids Are Alright, I Can't Explain, Substitute, Happy Jack. Then they expand into something else, really starting with "The Who Sell Out" album.
