Just yapped to my mom for an hour or so about The Who knowing damn well she dgafđ
me: knock knock! person: whoâs there? me: the. person: the who? me: The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a reputation for their live shows and studio work.
The Who developed from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, âI Canât Explainâ, reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including âMy Generationâ, âSubstituteâ and âHappy Jackâ. In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single âI Can See for Milesâ, while touring extensively. The groupâs fourth album, 1969âs rock opera Tommy, included the single âPinball Wizardâ and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter and visionary Townshend, and the follow-up to Tommy, Lifehouse, was abandoned. Songs from the project made up 1971âs Whoâs Next, which included the hit âWonât Get Fooled Againâ. The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots, and oversaw the film adaptation of Tommy in 1975. They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976. The release of Who Are You in 1978 was overshadowed by the death of Moon shortly after.
Kenney Jones replaced Moon and the group resumed activity, releasing a film adaptation of Quadrophenia and the retrospective documentary The Kids Are Alright. After Townshend became weary of touring, the group split in 1982. The Who occasionally re-formed for live appearances such as Live Aid in 1985, a 25th anniversary tour in 1989 and a tour of Quadrophenia in 1996. They resumed regular touring in 1999, with drummer Zak Starkey. After Entwistleâs death in 2002, plans for a new album were delayed. Townshend and Daltrey continued as the Who, releasing Endless Wire in 2006, and continued to play live regularly.
The Whoâs major contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall stack, large PA systems, use of the synthesizer, Entwistle and Moonâs lead playing styles, Townshendâs feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by hard rock, punk rock and mod bands, and their songs still receive regular exposure.
RIP Keith Moon, you would've loved "where my hug at"
Awwww i would feed John cinnamon rolls and then rub his lil belly, squeeze his cheeks, and run my fingers through his hair while showering him with compliments about his beautiful body cuz hes a cute hungry boyđ„č I'm so cringy :D
Hempo Hilden, drummer of an opening act for The Who:
âWe met The Who in the dressing room and John asked me if it would be possible to have something to eat⊠A friend of mine took his motorbike and went downtown to get anything. He showed up ten minutes later with big chunks of bread and a few beers. And I still remember John Entwistle eating a whole loaf of bread, which we call âlimpaâ in Sweden, in approximately one minute. A loaf is what a normal family eats in two days.â
