The Who

[Mott the Hoople]

Slayer will never play a Superbowl.

Not if they don't learn to defend the run they won't!!

The Who sucked in 1979, too. They were just younger then, but even having a band like the Stones perform, who were great in their day, is a major buzzkill.

Does anyone care to clue him in on what happened at the 1979 Who concert in Cincinnati?

Here are the Who when they were at their peak with Keith Moon and John Entwistle.

Great Vid Tom! I particularly like the shots of Keith Moon in his prime. Arguably the greatest rock drumer ever.

Though some would give a good argument that that honor belongs to Carl Palmer or Neil Peart.

Buddy Rich didn't exactly suck either.

If I remember the article correctly, that I read, Buddy was on some heavy duty pharmaceuticals during that time.

This would be such a better show.

I like this Vid of Keith Moon. It not only shows his brilliance but his unorthodox style, particularly when you compare him to the more orthodox Palmer, Peart and Rich.

Could be and Rich may not have been a rocker but he sure was the Zen Buddha Master of drumming, wasn't he?

Does anyone care about the Who, period?

I"ve seen several video's of Rich drumming and those sticks could move faster then the eye can register.

Well some Emo Gerber who's idea of good music is Brandy....probably not.

"Tommy" is up on deck for today. Maybe I'll just toss disk two. The Overture is pretty fucking awesome.

I was disappointed. Can't the NFL get relevant, non-fossil bands to play at the Super Bowl half-time? Must they always be walking advertisements for the AARP, Cialis, mortuaries, and REALLY OLD PEOPLE???

Your generation is not cool, Who!!!

I concur. Sh*t man, at least get Green Day a gig at the super bowl. What’s the deal elevating these has-been fossil bands to a state of faux relevance on national TV? Maybe the average NFL-demographic is a 55 year old, beer-gutted white dude, who knows?

I’ll totally give the Who massive props for some bitchin’ efforts 40 years ago. That “Who’s Next” album is like undeniably in the top 5 albums ever made, there ain’t a bad tune on it. I’m still cranking that album on a routine basis nearly half a decade later. I doubt classic rock stations would even exist without killer tunes from that album like “Bargain”, Behind Blue Eyes, “Baba O’reilly”. and “Won’t get Fooled Again”.

But I hardly think we need to see some geriatric old geezers attempting to rock out. Good christ, I think I saw Townsend hooked up to an oxygen tank after that pathetic performance!

No one cares about what happens in Ohio.

Yea...Grace Slick does have a point about old Rockers being pathetic.

But who do you think would be appropriate half time entertainment at the Super Bowl for gerbers like 3D and Waterhead? Brandy? Jessica Simposn? Up With People II? Mr. Roberts?

The Teletubbies perhaps?

Not even the fact that eleven people were crushed to death?

Oh Good idea!

It was criminal. The thugs that ran security at RiverFront should have gone to prison for cold blooded murder. They might as well as set a fire in a crowded theater.
