keith moon biography 6

[@NicanTlacaWarrior1]

He really slowed down. His style of drumming required you to be in shape for all of that craziness. Seeing him struggle is hard, but that's what hard living does to you.

[@lufcbandit]

A real british rock and roll icon. Best at what he did. RIP Kieth, hope you found what you were looking for.

[@Iain1962]

The late great John Peel took care of the narration, both of them gave so much to music.

[@jamesaiello8127]

Sad a true talent and rock legend. He never got to know his daughter, Pray he is at peace now

[@maltonbranch]

Greatest drummer to ever grace this earth! RIP Keith

[@picure]

Keith is my no.1 example to my drum students what drumming is all about.

[@905Alive]

actually not

[@martinramsdale99]

It would of been great had Keith lived till he was 73 years old but he checked out of living life at 32 years old never got to see him live

[@jonapplegate6695]

The Doctor who prescribed those crazy strong pills would have been put in jail if this where today. Dr. Diamond still claims he doesn't even really remember Keith. Like you wouldn't remember. What he did, giving an addict a drug that even then was thought of as very dangerous and to be only used in hospital, was criminal.

[@karenbanta5778]

Yea, totally. Let's give a fucking drunk, drug addict maniac a full bottle of really strong pills. Great idea...

[@cydonia9342]

He didn't know about Keith's lifestyle apparently (somehow) but a basic background check could've saved his life. Just imagine a world where a 60-70something year old Keith moon was still alive

[@redpilledpict2747]

I had a doctor who gave me 100 heminevrin Tablets for free.said they were a sample from a drug rep ! He claimed they were like alcohol.I ended up falling down a flight of stairs and was found a day later still alive (just about).A really dangerous drug but i guess Big Pharma just wanted the money.....

[@patricedhanis3546]

What type of pills, benzodiasopines? It use to be thought to transfer an alcoholic to a benzoyl then detox from the benzo...but that is the wrong approach (,back then it was textbook). Keith needed long term, residential care but the Who could not be without him that long. RIP keith...you didn't have to die like this.

[@paulfinnleyrecording]

Jesus! Hearing Keith play the drums is like listening to two drummers playing at the same time! He is the greatest!

[@johnworthington8360]

No he was a nutter on drugs

[@BuckNekkid3000]

Powerful stuff. 33 years old...looking like he's 53. Amazing.

[@lexy67flc]

Ah dear boy...you're still sorely missed

[@TheBestBazza]

spot the mistake in the newspaper headline...they manage to get his age wrong somehow. on another note greatest drummer ever, RIP Keith

[@jimwelsh997]

KEITH MOON IS STILL THE GREATEST DRUMMER EVER IN ROCK AND ROLL SHIT GREATEST DRUMMER EVER

[@00Ryder]

thanks for loading those up! gr8! i think Keith was, he is indestructible! Who could ever destroy that. He created a lifestyle most people could only ever dream of. his personality was massive, somebody destined to do weird and wonderful things. If it was for the "moon the loon" days, Keith and the who may never have been as famous! The band as a whole were very troubled and had a very rocky career. Its because of people like moon and Townsend that rock and roll exists!

[@dukermacnuker]

long live Keith's spirit.. its really what rock n roll is all about.. Annette is still in love with the man, sure she's not the only one.. best to Keith's family & loved ones.

[@carlykaiser]

The way he looked at the end of his life does not look good at all for 32.

[@wrsawy]

The Who was never the same after Keith died.

[@circusguy]

I wish that Keith would've been a little more patient and taken Roger up on his offer of a work out program. But things sadly didn't happen that way, very tragic. He was so young.

[@adamfarrellymusicandmusicr5509]

3:41-3:56, The Truest Fact Ever, The Who Existed Right From When Keith Was The Drummer To When He Died so Basically The Who Born In 1964 and Died In 1978. The Who Is Only Known As Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon, This is The Only Real Lineup In This Band.

[@macedon4049]

Truer words never spoken.

[@Alfonsomarisol]

The last words of the interview: the true: the great drumer in rock´n roll history.

[@wrsawy]

It's ironic, when Keith died rock kind of died for a short while. New age, punk, etc.. took over for a bit. But Rock came back. Keith will live forever. Keith is characterized by a relating irony that will never die. He fit the WHO the band. IN other bands he would have sounded like crap. But with the WHO it worked. For a short while, the group was on top.

[@jimwelsh997]

The WHO is still the greatest rock band ever Zack Ringo's son. Has been the drummer for the WHO for a while now. And he would sit on Keith's lap and Keith was showing him how to play. Ringo didn't want him playing the drums but it was always Zacks dream to play the drums in THE WHO. if you haven't listened to him playing you should. Uncle Keith is very very proud of how great Zack is.

[@78r0ckarolla]

Keith Moon is the real spirit of rock´n´roll...

[@JonnyWahWah]

cheers for putting it up

[@carlodave9]

I've known a Keith Moon in my life. He was a great musician, a blast to hang out with, a blast to have as a friend, and -- if I'm being honest -- a blast to enable. But after years of abuse, long term effects set in; whenever he was sober for a few days, he was the opposite of fun or friendly: cranky, self-obsessed, and totally uninteresting. Even so, when our enabling stopped, and a decade of encouraging him to clean up became a pain in the ass for him and all involved, he just crawled deep inside himself and became a loner, a serial liar, a closet drinker and opioid junkie. He's still alive, but mostly gone. I see him every week or two, and I listen as he blames other people for his multiplying problems -- except for his drinking. As he stated it, "I married alcohol. I love her." I have no clue what to do. I doubt Keith's pals knew either.

[@barrybelotti9422]

Sorry to read this. Sounds like he does not want help. He will need to want to change his life before you can help, unfortunately. It may be tough but the best thing to do is not enable anymore. I have been there.

[@kitrichardson5573]

You can’t do anything for somebody who doesn’t want to be helped. But there’s a lot of help out there for people who want it. Start with 12 step meetings. Get medical treatment if that’s necessary or drugs now which will make you violently ill if you drink alcohol while you’re taking them. But the steps are all difficult and painful and nobody’s going to do them if they don’t really really want to stop the abuse. The Alcoholism is a symptom, not the actual problem and you have to deal with the actual problem to ever really get better. The Doctor Who told Annette that there was no saving him, didn’t know what he was talking about and pronounce that death sentence; and contributed to the problem unknowingly.

[@moggy1231]

john bonham idolized keith moon don't forget that.

[@wrsawy]

Keith was great in his prime. But.... Very sad ending....

[@atgskater14]

@ilovemymagic yeah thats what i am starting to think as well. it is important that we don't remember keith just for his antics and the troubles he encountered but mainly for his super human drumming ability and his pioneering style

[@merman153]

Long Live Keith Moon,The Kid Was Alright !,you will never be forgotten mate !

[@elvisuk]

great documentary..very interesting ty

[@Juanfifarek]

HE WAS THE BEST ROCK DRUMMER AND STILL EVEN TODAY. NOBODY TOUCHES HIS LOOSE AND PERFECT TIMING> A ROCK GOD.

[@Germania72]

The saddest part is when Annette said that they were planning to move the country side to have children...but never happened because, he died... :(

[@v-town1980]

The saddest part IS that he died.

[@SirLoinofBeef235]

Without fail, the few hard core alkies I have known all had grand plans just before their demise.

[@alexwilde1975]

Wow he looks more like 51 in that first photo.

[@luvmedrums4057]

My Hero,I would trade my life Ten times over for his

[@questioneverything-rf3yf]

He's my hero too, Im absolutely mesmerized by him. But, to trade lives, I think his was a tortured existence in many ways, particularly after the 1970 death of his friend and driver for which he blamed himself. I believe he battled personal demons all his life, then was haunted by that death till his own. I have the deepest empathy for the beloved Imp of Rock n Roll. God bless you dear boy, you gave us everything you had. Thank you.🥁❤

[@patriciabowe7298]

How did he keep going what a train a legend and a true gentelman...

[@BuckNekkid3000]

Powerful stuff. 32 years old...looking more like 52. Amazing.

[@annikee59]

Genius and madness too often go together. RIP, Puck of Rock.

this was great, made me sad though. rip keith. u are so loved!!

Moon the God 🙏🏽

[@sandhopper599]

Your'e invincible until you croak!

[@nervo6321]

Poor old Keith, I loved him but he has the eyes of a paranoid alcoholic, today he would have been diagnosed much earlier, wether he could have been saved...I doubt it...

[@Zickcermacity]

Keith and Syd: two of the greatest tragedies of rock 'n' roll.

[@thomasjordan9043]

What is syd stand for

[@fooknrazor6155]

syd barrett, pink floyd

[@damonwillis3672]

And Brian Jones

[@version736ha2]

And every Spinal Tap drummer

[@DearWhoGirl]

I absolutely love this!

[@DearWhoGirl]

Brilliant

[@Chrisdrumz]

He could've cleaned up. Maybe he would've. Got clean and dedicated himself to annette,the band.and his health. Who knows he could've become a bad ass drummer again.

[@richieg85]

Yes, I grant you, he's 46. I just hope they don't use electronic effects to de-age him, like they did with Ian McKellan

[@Korph88]

like charlie sheen always says, drinking only becomes a problem once you stop

[@toxic_badasss9656]

Omg I need to see part 1 and 2

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

anyone else think Keith looked a little like Tony Montana from Scarface when he was on that chat show?

[@barrybelotti9422]

yes. lol.

[@adamfarrellymusicandmusicr5509]

3:35-3:40 The Who Tried To Carry On With A New Drummer, But It Was Never The Same, Thats Spot On, They Should Have Just Changed Their Name From The Who To Something Else

[@louisorleans4554]

Keith WAS a nerd, a very chaotic brilliant one.

[@H3r3Com3sTh3Sun]

Keith looks like Tony Montana during that interview.

[@shabbas7]

i think even keith would have admitted he worshipped satin ( sheets )

[@clanbj]

@simoncbr900rr as much as i love Keith i have to agree, his drumming worked together with the other members, but as a drummer myself i would say he was both good and bad, good because it worked perfectly in a band situation, but on his own.......forget it , but before everybody blow their lid off, let me make it clear, i adored Keith Moon, he was a one off

[@kewlfonz]

He wasn't a drum soloist, but his drum parts on the great Who songs, are unmatched!!! Keith's drumming style fed off what was going on around him rather than reciting drum rudiments...

[@electricleg207]

Unlike a Charlie Watts for example he wasn't a time -keeper ,but that would have made The Who good but not the great band they were .

[@merman153]

lONG LIVE KIETH MOON,THE KID WAS ALRIGHT !

[@MoonBarrett]

Amazing.

[@fis085]

my pleasure !

[@nogoodshitcunt3605]

So sad.....R.I.P keith.

[@MrNicknamer]

@informationallcell dude....if so or if keith moon and jimi hendrix ever recorded together, the song or the band will be legendary,greastest and superb R.I.P keith and hendrix

[@jjjjoooooooosssh]

only the good die young.

[@andrewfrancis7272]

Keith Moon pisses me off. He had a unique and extraordinary talent, but was never grateful or respectful of his talent and pissed it away. He never practiced the drums, then drank and drugged himself into a physical wreck so in the end he could hardly play anymore.. I wish l could be more sympathetic but Moonie had been blessed with great fortune in life yet didn't know it.

[@Jimbotloser1]

what is the name of this doco? the show or whatever? anyone know?

[@Grafietstift]

moonie

[@izmangr]

the way goes fast, that's life. need to be accepted. cause it's been done already. though it's sad

[@lingling86]

One of Keith Moon's best friends and drinking buddies, Ringo Starr pleaded with him to get help, telling Moon that if he kept the pace he was going at he would eventually kill himself. Moon simply replied, "Yeah, I know." Based on what fans have learned about him, especially the accidental vehicular homicide of his driver it seems as though he willed himself to die. Ringo's son, Zak referred to him as his uncle, was taught how to play by Moon and eventually filled his shoes as The Who's drummer.

[@karlclarke]

he did get help and the pills given to him to help is what killed him

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

[@thomashumber9762]

I would swop my life for Keiths time on this earth....

[@DanielMumby]

I think he'll be great as Moon

[@Germania72]

He was so naive when saying about his problem: "Quite out of control amazingly...eeeeh. Drunk...Drunk we're all mainly..." I know he wasn't a good husband or father, but it's sort of heartbreaking...like a overgrown child.

[@nadinebrown7644]

He NEVER EVER hit the child.

[@ilovemymagic]

I beleive that Moon had commited suicide, I think he was too skilled as a drug doer to make a "silly," mistake like that. And we know that he had low self esteem and a serious case of clinical depression, not to mention borderline personality disorder. It only makes sense that he did.

[@DickVain41]

Not true check out Chuck BISCUITS via the Circle Jerks look this up CIRCLE JERKS - LIVE U.S. TV ROCKPALACE '85 (actually in 84) but anyway he is longer playing live let me know what u think of his playing)

[@paddyboomvideos]

Keith was ROCK. Bless the loony

[@MrGb1965]

That statement about his drumming not being done here is not quite true. The solo on the soundtrack album was re-recorded and maybe other parts but it is clear he’s playing mostly what your hearing here.

[@DiGiTaLdAzEDM]

I can see people respecting Moon as a musician--I am fan of the music of 'The Who' as well. However, most fans seem unwilling to acknowledge his many failings. According to this documentary he beat his wife and broke her nose three times. Out of control drug and alcohol use. Dead of deliberate overdose at an age when he should have been at his peak musically. He was obviously a highly dysfunctional personality. It's too bad he didn't have the balance to seek the help he needed in time.

[@nadinebrown7644]

He's fucking dead asshat. The man paid his dues ( Which Lennon who was a wife beater as well never has) He never pretended to be sinless. The world lost a spontaneous and creative, ingenuous man and we now have ROBOTS.

[@Jamie-js3qw]

@@nadinebrown7644 what dues did he pay? Did you know him?

[@geetarist666]

it seems like all great musicians go through their "prime" (when the drugs getr them high and there not addicts yet) and then slowly fade away as tolerance grows and the drug becomes less of a trip and more of a daily thing

[@MOSKII58]

Kinda spooky that both Moon & Bonzo died at 32..different years, but thats because Keith was obviously older ..by a few years.. two big losses nonetheless. two diff personalities, Bonzo seems so shy on the few interviews i've seen, nothing like Moonie..

[@rentatrip1videos]

Yes... twas Ever Thus ! Amen

[@ericmalone3213]

It is absolutely totally untrue that Keith's drumming on "Won't Get Fooled Again" from Shepperton was re-recorded later in the studio. That is bollocks and codswallop. Keith is drumming live in the footage, there was never any re-recording.

[@patricedaynes8148]

Oh I can't spell for shit,cus I got my Masters degree with other people doing the spell check until I got this little black box and would dictate my case notes! Can you imagine AWB meeting U2 cuz I can't imagine that meeting?????

he is the gretest drummer in rock my friend

[@kenytco68]

Anyone know the concert/appearance in which Moon is seen drumming, starting at 3:57?

[@5jerry1]

ABC In Concert 1974.

[@Chrisdrumz]

His drum solo on IN CONCERT is even worse than Peter Criss' 1979 solo's.

[@stewartnicol3028]

This is all true. However, in the defence of The Dear Boy.....Keith John Moon was never here on Earth to be anything else but Keith Moon. He was never here to be an old man, and he chose how he would die before he incarnated.....LEARN FROM HIS TEACHING. Love yourself....and someone else.

[@BrutusMcCrunch]

The later post 1975 Moon was an embarrassment. But the vintage Moon was the Jimi Hendrix of drums.

[@vonnikki]

haha well my friend i think u need to listen to all of them and then tell me who is the most acurat and who has the most energy moon is the best hands down

[@markwatts2532]

He was VERY good and special unique drummer...but that clip of him trying to do a solo was quite bad as he was too far gone at this point. He wasnt playing with the rest of the band it was a one off live tv short and he was smashed..i hate watchin that clip!

[@Ezekiel_Lezama]

i cant way to see the movie,but i dont know how is mike myers going to deal with his age,maybe in the waynes world days.

Keith Moon Easily said that he is 1 of my favourite drummers

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

@Alexandernero666, Keith Moon could afford to not take life so seriously as he was a drummer in a legenedary rock band and could make millions to live comfortably, anyone devoid of talent who doesnt take life seriously will end up sleeping rough dude

Sorry, the Ox wasn't 32 years old!

[@fleetwoodmac1982]

This documentary deserves to watch, but ovbiously failed to explain how Keith could achieve to one of the best drummers in the whole rock history. His play stayle did not depend on just gimmicks or catching attentions. Without basic skills for playing the drums, such stupid things have nothing to do with playing as a member of THE WHO!!!

[@vonnikki]

what the fuck r u kidding thats why hes so great thats why hes know as the best drummer tell me who u think is better then moon huh?
