did anyone hear the US tour dates on 1061 this evening around 8pm? i was out of the car when they said they would announce them.

hopefully we'll get a show somewhere in our viscinity and that i won't have to sell one of my kidneys on the black market to buy a ticket.

all in all....fucking sweet.

Half of The Who.

1/12/2006 11:02:33 PM

you mean Daltrey, A Child Porn Addict, and Friends?

No thanks.


I saw 3/4 of The Who one time, and they sucked (played fine, but played straight through Quadrophenia instead of playing songs that didn't suck). I'm not gonna pay again to see 1/2 of The Who.

1/12/2006 11:08:30 PM

this just in...people who still care about the who spell vicinity THIS way:

child porn? & are you referring to around 2000, when The Who played @ Walnut Creek amphitheatre???
b/c i was there & yes they did play their ENTIRE double-disc & fucking awesome Quadrophenia album w/ the movie on the big screen............. most bigtime fans of The WHo would easily say Quadrophenia = their fav. album

then a LOT of people left

& they played pretty much every single "hit" song -

yea - the entire band rox - but since i do not play the guitar or bass guitar - i notice the singer a lot more & i noticed townsend b/c that nigga did windmills

1/13/2006 12:19:20 AM

actually, if you are refering to his playing on record, i guess it still is.

1/13/2006 12:20:34 AM

Almost all of Sellout

1/13/2006 12:27:27 AM

Holy shit, man, don't underestimate what Keith and John added to the band.

Watch some more old live recordings.

1/13/2006 12:41:42 AM

EXACTLY.

1/13/2006 12:44:07 AM

i thought i explained myself - i never listen for drum beats or can tell really if they are amazing - i do know that Tool's drummer kicks ass b/c his beats are off but still flow.........

I LOVE THE ENTIRE BAND CALLED THE WHO

even their roadies

[Edited on January 13, 2006 at 12:45 AM. Reason : so i'm not underestimating any of the members]

1/13/2006 12:44:22 AM

There is no The Who without Keith Moon.

Period.

1/13/2006 12:45:21 AM

chickenhead. how can you not tell the power of keith moon? i don't give a good god damn if you've studied sitar and the norwegian drone fiddle: listen to him playing, and you know he's as important or more than the rest of the band.

That I would agree with. I was fucking pissed that I was out of town when they came through here that year, because Quadrophenia is by far my favorite Who album. And the movie ranks very highly on my list, too.

1/13/2006 12:51:57 AM

P.S. It's not the complexity of Moon's drumming that's important (though he was a damn fine technical drummer), it's the ferocity.

1/13/2006 12:52:24 AM

OMFG I WOULD SUCK KEITH MOON'S COCK IF HE WERE ALIVE

i wasn't trying to insult him - i've played tons of instruments, but never the drums - i don't listen for them in the song unless there is a drum solo.

when i hear jon bonnom's drumming from MOby Dick - i realize he's an amazing drummer - especially after hearing Zoso ( Zep cover band ) attempt to play the solo.........

i think the drum solo in innagada-daveeeda sounds basic as hell....... but i'm not a drummer so i really don't know shit about it.

which Who songs do you think keith moon's drumming is amazing in?

1/13/2006 12:56:18 AM

but, with the ferocity, it's the timing. he knows exactly where to apply the pressure.

1/13/2006 12:56:31 AM

BEHIND BLUE EYES


my cleverness only amazes me.

and i would never suck keith moon's cock. shit would taste like alcohol and sweat!

he couldn't get it up

i just think you are all not realizing that i simply pay little attention to a band's drummer.... i realize how important the drum is in a band - it's practically the metronome keeping them in unison........

i'm more into lyrics, singer's sound, & piano, guitar - basically anything that has different tones -

as far as beats though - i do really like them in Magic Bus, whatever percussions are used ...

no.

1/13/2006 1:06:15 AM

sigh ok - i'm not arguing about this subject b/c i can't play the drums & i'm not paying attention to the tempo... i'm not even intending to insult a member of one of my top five favorite bands....

anyways- what's your fav Who song?

mine is Love - Reign O'r Me

[Edited on January 13, 2006 at 1:12 AM. Reason : 6]][]

1/13/2006 1:12:16 AM

oooh, good choice. my favorite is the first track on the box set.

1/13/2006 1:13:21 AM

details???? song name? haha

1/13/2006 1:16:40 AM

amazon says first track is "i can't explain" - i had to listen to sample b/c never heard of it - it sounds like the older who, a la "i can see for miles"

the link you gave me shows "i am the face" as track 1 which, unless it's a song i don't know, is from "Sea and Sand" which is on Quadrophenia & one of my fav songs too.

( i just know the lyrics "i am the face" are in that song )

[Edited on January 13, 2006 at 1:26 AM. Reason : sf']

1/13/2006 1:25:28 AM

P.S. The bass player keeps the beat, not the drummer.

1/13/2006 1:26:10 AM

my mistake - since i know little about drums, i assumed they set the "beat"

yeah, but i'm pretty sure it was before then, b/c i think i was still in highschoo. prob about '96-97.

and fuck Quadrophenia. I like their older, more rockin' stuff. Prob my favorite album is "Who's Next", but I don't know...I like a lot of their stuff...but not Quadrophenia.

and the show I was at, they played a few of their hits after they did the whole Quadrophenia set, but nowhere near all of them. Hell, not even half of them.

1/13/2006 2:37:58 AM

it's definitely a soundtrack for the movie - like The Wall is - i guess the 2 cd factor makes me biased when saying it's maybe my fav. album by them.

if you havn't - you should definitely atleast listen to Love, Reign O'er Me + Sea and Sand from Quadrophenia....

those are 2 songs you'll rarely hear on the radio too...

that's the show i went to - i know they didn't play ALL of their hits - but i just remember them playing ones i really wanted to hear ..... magic bus + eminence front

( if my memory is right )

1/13/2006 2:55:07 AM

i was there as well

yeah, I do like Love Reign O'er Me, and there's at least one more good song on there...might be 5:15, but i don't remember for sure.

and The Wall is definitely not my favorite Pink Floyd album, either.

Not the same song; it was recorded back when they were still called the High Numbers. The lyric in Quadrophenia is a reference to that song, since the album's story involves the whole mods-vs.-rockers thing that the band was a part of in its early days.

1/13/2006 6:15:11 PM

ah - i'll have to check that song out then..

^^ & 5:15 is a good song -

1/13/2006 11:26:41 PM
