Keith Moon looked wild & crazy, even back then... 🤣

Kids are diagnosed these days but back then no one had heard of any forms of Autism or ADHD.Keith was eccentric according to Roger's book.

I hate that he died from the lack of his substance control. But, if he did have ADHD or autism - I hope that had nothing to do with his substance abuse issues, because out of that came an entertaining creative guy. Not sure The Who would've been the same, if Keith Moon was a normal dude... lol

They were four lads that weren't exactly best mates and they certainly had their niggles but it worked.

Oh, really? I assumed they were childhood buddies, like the Beatles... 🤔

No, if you're into the Who read this. https://amzn.eu/d/0i5rOBQe

I saw an interview with Roger Daltrey. He said he had to be the grown-up in the band to keep them somewhat grounded (something like that), because the others had too much substance issues. My understanding was that Roger didn't even drink alcohol, or atleast not much... 🤔

Roger didn't take anything in regards of any drugs and Pete was a secret dabbler whilst writing and it's true when they say all the best songs were written whilst being under the influence.

Unpopular opinion: no band's legacy has aged more poorly than The Who.

I'm 63, so I'm definitely a "boomer''. I'm guessing he's talking about over-dub-ins, where whomever OR whatever created this video added in. I honestly didn't even noticed any over-dub-ins when I watched it - OR maybe I just don't remember them, bc I'm an old "boomer"... 🤣

Ok, I watched the video again. All I saw was several shots of the band performing this song & mixed in at the appropriate spots - instead of watching them all perform the song together from a distance. I see nothing wrong with that. It makes it more entertaining. I came from the Mtv era. I like creative videos. If you don't like creative videos - why let it take the focus away from the music. If you don't like watching the video, then simple close your eyes & enjoy the great song... 🤣🙂

Yeah yeah. If I wanna enjoy the great song I just fire it up on my main rig. I was hoping to get the real recording. Moon just looks like a little kid pretending to be a drummer. Glad everbody else got a charge.
