    This is sooo sixties! The clothing, the mimics! How Pete hits his electric guitar and it sounds like an acoustical one. Pete’s face looks like he got ran over by a caterpillar truck, and i think i see te tiremarks on his jacket when he turns around.

    I have to say i think the Ramones did this better then the Who.

  8. like most acts, the best stuff is at the start before they all get all fat, rich, pompous (Tommy, Won’t Get fooled etc) and dead. This is the best stuff, about being new to the pulling game and not feeling up to the job

    Keith is most definitely the prototype for ‘Animal’ from ‘The Muppets’. Note how he plays the drums on this video.

    Last summer my brother was substitute pitcher on the little league all-star team, so I would always sing this to him before his game.

    @rbmt3rd2007 I agree. I call modern music “that terrible noise”. Now people think I’m really old. Sometimes I act older than my grandfather.

    But it’s not my fault. Old music is just that great. Very few modern artists have that same spark.
