Roger Daltrey was one of the best singers of all time, his range was incredible. His drummer was one of the best drummers of all time. "His bass player was a bass player while also being a rhythm guitar player and singer all in one. From the outside looking in he was raising the band and maybe he was doing that because he knew that the band could do these amazing things. “Also, Pete Townshend didn’t have a drummer that would just sit back and lay it down either. That night, they made dinner with the kid’s quesadilla.
One of my guilty pleasures is Meatloaf, which as a concept record geek is awesome. The band took a show in Joplin, Missouri, on a whim after a Myspace message from a local high schooler. I grew up listening to The Who and I’m a concept record fan. Everyone was a great musician in that band but he had this vision of what he wanted to do with The Who and it was remarkable. This guy is up there with the best and people don’t know that more or less it was just him. "When you look into the concepts of these records, like Pinball Wizard, they’re crazy. He has the attitude and the way that The Who presented themselves.those songs were crafted. “For me, Pete Townshend embodies what you want to be.
I'da Called You Woody, Joe: And this was the sound of the very last gang in town/As heard by my wild young heart like directions on a cold dark night/Sayin' "Let it out, let it out, let it out you're doin' all right."/And I heard it in his chain gang soul/how it wasn't just the same sad song/Sayin' "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doin' all right.(Image credit: Jay Dickman/CORBIS) Pete Townshend Red in the Morning: Let me drive, let me drive, disappear in the night/Like I was a ghost in your dreamsįilm Noir: I lit a fire that wouldn't go out, until it consumed the walls and roof of this house, until all I remember was burnin' away, and all I remember, you burned it away High Lonesome: And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand/I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis/And in my head there's all these classic cars and outlaw cowboy bands/I always kinda sorta wished I was someone else
Orphans: Goodbye, circus wheel, maybe you rest along the seas/I have given you the fire of my youth and the triumph of my enemies/And goodbye, fair weather home and your faithless factories/I have given you the blood and the truth from the wounds that they laid on me/And whatever they left, I kept it for my own heart/And the lonesome understand with the choirs in my head, we were orphans before we were ever the sons of regret We Came to Dance: Strike up the band, play a song that everybody knows/If I'm not your kind, then don't tell a soul/I'm not the one who hates bein' alone, so come on We're Getting a Divorce, You Keep the Diner: Were the things that we wanted when we were still 16 only passing and fleeting or just too far out of reach?īoxer: You found the bandages inside the pen, and the stitches on the radio/But there was something heavy holding you down, and there were whispers that were driving you crazy Old Haunts: So don't sing me your songs about the good times/Those days are gone and you should just let them go/And god help the man who says "If you'd have known me when." The Backseat: But you and I, we've been through this/Maybe a hundred times before/Always hitchin' rides with strangers that papa warned us about before/But you know the summer always brought in/That wild and reckless breeze/And in the backseats we just tried to find some room for our knees
