http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmJFdZGalE4

BQ: Is "The Seeker" The Who's greatest song? Why or why not?

R.I.P. You Crazy Man! Thanks for all the rolls, and the laughs, and the debauchery!
BQ2: What do you think Keith would be doing if he were still alive today?

Answer 1

Watch the end of this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xZOrWK6d4g



It was best Keith associated noise I could think of!



BQ:No that honor goes to A Quick One(While He's Away),you and all Wholigans know my reasons why!



BQ2:He would've been in and out of rehab a few times,let's put it this way:They would've kept Keith's room at any rehab center ready for him and put a revolving door in it to boot!



Now playing:Mary,Mary-The Monkees

Answer 2

Good old Moon. I saw The Who live twice. Once at the Ricky Tick club in Windsor in 1965 and a few years later at Mother's club in Birmingham. Townshend announced coolly that they were going to do Tommy. What? I thought - do Tommy live ? That's impossible. It's a concept album man. But they launched into it and would have got through it if Moon hadn't collapsed. He did not collapse as a mere mortal. He went right over his drum kit without knocking anything over and landed in a heap. They went off for about 20 minutes, came back and carried on where they had left off. So are so right about him being a 'lead' drummer. But under the flamboyant tom-toms and cymbals, there was powerhouse solid rhythm too. Fvck knows how he did it. Edit : thinking about that. He never had to. Townshend and Entwhistle were the timekeepers of the band, keeping it tight while allowing Moon his freedom. Thinking about some jazz classes I attended where a great revelation was that the bass not the drums keeps the tempo. As Danny Richmond said : everyone knows where one two three and four are, so why should I play them - a sentiment Moon would have agreed with.

Answer 3

The Who might as well be the world's most talented band



MA : My oh my , Keith looks the most sober dude up there !

BA : Hmm... could be

How about Won't Get Fooled Again ? I know it's really overplayed but that doesn't make it less fcking amazing



BA2 : He'd probably isolate himself from the world and blow up his neighbors toilets

Occasionally , he'd make a surprise appearance for the world to see



Think any band that isn't a grunge or punk one sucks ,Krass ?

It isn't that you need to like them , but at least have the decency to acknowledge that every member was great at their instruments



Hey Kel , Pete Townshend played guitar on a track on David Bowie's Heathen

Answer 4

don't worry Kelly, Krass hates the Who because he hates me and I love the Who. He'll get it worked out in therapy or something

MQ: two way race between Pete and Keith



BQ: hm....highly disagree. i think that award goes directly to Doctor Jimmy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVk8Ze26_PA

BQ2: he'd probably end up like Syd Barret, he was a really troubled man yknow.

R.I.P. and long live what was once the World's finest rock and roll band

Answer 5

I'm listening to their greatest song by my opinion now.

Won't get Fooled again.



if Keith Moon was still alive, I bet he'd still be touring with Pete and Roger.

Answer 6

None of them look REAL drunk - Moon looks slightly crazy though...



Nowadays, Keith might be working on his memoirs, reminiscing over his misspent youth, as a warning to other young people.



I heard a story that Hank Williams Jr was so wasted one time that he passed out and did a face-plant right in the middle of a song.



Has it really been 32 years? Thanks for the link - that really takes me back.

Answer 7

BQ: I don't know if it's their greatest or not, but it sure is one hell of a song, But I still love Boris The Spider, for some odd reason, which I don't know.



BQ: Banding and blowing up drums





Happy birthday Keith from Steppenwolf and all the rest of us here in Canada...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Njh19Gu7Wo



take care

Answer 8

A moment of noise!! Absolutely. That's exactly what Keith would have wanted.



MA: Now it's most obviously The Ox - Didn't you see him dancing all over the place and partying with the microphone?? Come on... lol.



BA: It's one of them but they have so many songs I like that I have a hard time sticking with a favorite - it changes. I love See Me Feel Me, Love Reign O'er Me, 515, Behind Blue Eyes, and so many others.



BA2: I think he'd still be blowing up hotel room bathrooms! I hope he'd be happy and still shaking things up for us. RIP Moonie.

Answer 9

For a moment of noise..............

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hngmb0pTcMY



We all know the answer to that one



I think its My Generation just because that is probably the one song most everybody recognizes as The Who





RIP Keith Moon !!!!

Answer 10

I'll be staying at a Hilton this weekend, where in honor of Keith's memory, I'll be sure to pitch my TV, the bellhop and a few pieces of furniture out of the window of my luxury suite.

Answer 11

Uhmn,.........whatttttttt?????? Could ya repeat the questions????????



I was remembering Keith my own way, and gulped a few horse traquilizers and washed them down with a bottle of tequila..........



I wasn't making any noise for awhile there..........but still, I think Keith would be honored.



I was gonna dive into an empty swimming pool, as my remembrance........but that looked like it would REALLY hurt..........even with the horse tranquilizers.



still, tempting.................. but, uhhhhh., no, I passed.



maybe next time.

Answer 12

I will play and sing my favorite Who song - Substitute - as loud as I can as a fitting memorial.

Bill Hicks (the guy in my avatar) mentions Keith Moon here -

MQ: twats

BQ:The Who Suck.

You were held back by your band Keith or you just sucked as well, one of the two.

BQ2: A line

.

Oh, and you were a murderer too, you ****.

.

I just really don't like the Who and it's like 1 question every 30 minutes in R&P at the minute =]

.

Far from it, Grunge and Punk just happen to be my favourites. I just don't like The Who, or any form of Mod culture for that matter.

.

without The Who there would be no punk.....

interesting.

And no I don't think Cobain is God, that title is held by Bill Hicks, so shh.

Answer 14

WHO???
