Keith Moon's last interview

[@exrfn]

There will never be another keith moon....Absolute legend....

[@sexobscura]

There'll never be another anybody

[@marcstevens8576]

On the idea of Keith being "crazy". Not so. He was only being himself. Shame things ended as they did for him, however, He was the most talented drummer of his day. People will say Ringo. How far was he recognized in The Beatles? Paul played the drums to a lot of the songs. Bonham? Sure, he was a good drummer, but didn't really fit in with a blues-based band & never really sounded good after Graffiti. Keith actually fit The Who. True, he looked like he aged well beyond his years after the '60's, but he could make up for it with his fitting in the band...

[@circlecloud11]

You can tell how much affection Pete has for Keith during the interview. Nice to see!

[@jamesjournalist3919]

I had the great pleasure of meeting Keith Moon at the time of the release of the movie "Tommy" and he was nothing like the crazy lunatic he is often portrayed as. He was kind, sweet and very intelligent. He was a shooting star who came and went in a flash.

I have been fortunate to see Keith Moon perform with the Who on 3 occasions. The first time was in 1967, their 1st US tour when they opened for Herman's Hermits. I believe Guitar Center in Hollywood has the drum kit Moon used on that tour in their window. To this day I have to admit the Who are the best live rock band of all time & Moon is possibly the best showman & exciting drummer I have ever seen live!

I agree, and I love how Pete recently said, "unlike our friends in Rush who rehearse for months before a tour, we sometimes don't play through all the songs prior to live performance!" Speaking of Rush, they would rank near the top for live acts, maybe the rehearsal's help lol

What a real interview. I was very impressed with Keith. He straight up told the truth about himself. Pete was just as good as Keith.🎶

[@ricko3k]

Such a shame he's gone. No Angel but so interesting a character and a fantastic showman and drummer.

[@FreakBrotherFred369]

Keith Moon was definitely one of a kind. He was the first musician that I really took a singular interests in when I was a kid, probably around 9(1977), years old. Or the first time I saw Tommy(the movie), and Keith fiddling about as Wicked Uncle Ernie.❤

[@jgtoll]

Keith was only 32 years old in this video. He looks 52 instead. How sad. LITTLEDOGS1, I was in them in Orlando last weekend as well. How about the video of Keith during Bell Boy? Spectacular, appropriate and fitting!

[@haoleboysurfec2730]

Moon will never be matched. Even though he was a mess, his drumming on "Who Are You" was still great. When he was in his prime, no one could even touch him. No one has caught up since. Like all greats he had his own style and made it all look and sound so easy. It's not until you watch another accomplished drummer struggle mightily to keep up on one of his tracks that you realize this guy was in his own league.

[@jojox9791]

Bonzo

[@rogermurray8553]

Keith's cautious, unconfident answers sound eerily similar to the late Brian Jones when he was fading out. Real shame for rock music to have lost these two. Both musicians had no equals among their peers when it came to their particular talents.

[@joepetch308]

JoJo 70 beat me to it!

[@blairlewis1375]

HaoleboySurfEC I think he was such a great drummer because of his personality. His mind seemed to work like he drums. A semi controlled crazy.

[@joepetch308]

Blair Lewis I get the impression Moon was sex, drugs and rock and roll and this added to his performance to an extent. Bonzo on the other hand was powerful, controlled and precise. I personally prefer Bonzo as Zep were a better band. Still, both are missed and I often think what would have become of their careers if they’d show a little restraint. 👌🏻

[@Aerospacer77]

So sad. He was a legendary drummer. Rest in piece Keith!

[@whiskeyriver4322]

The saddest part of all this, is what has happened to the energy and enthusiasm of the musical world today. We no longer have this level of greatness in ingenuity, energy, competence, or compositional accomplishment; other than the billion-dollar "Pop" industry, shoving garbage down youngster's throats. Musical exploration and the desire to push the envelope and take chances, has been sidelined for the security of exploiting the lethargy of our young adults with manufactured culture, drum machines, and canned music. There are thousands of rock bands out there today, many of which are quite magnificently talented, but no one wants to hear them, especially the record companies; it's too much of a risk for them. And what was once the brilliance and excitement of FM radio, has long since become the annoying and aggravating redundancy of "Top 40" hits played a billion times over the airwaves, interspersed with snippets of incoherent and insignificant babble, spewed out by morons with nothing more than a marketing agenda. Some of you are quite right, the Who were never the same after Keith left us; but I'm glad that they carried on. They continued to do what they were meant to do, and although a shadow of what they once were, to this day they still do the best they can. Which is significantly more than what most current "Pop Stars" can boast about. As George Harrison once said, "All Things Must Pass", and surely they will; but most of the contemporary garbage of today, seems to pass a great deal quicker than the enormously talented giants we were so fortunate to be blessed with back in the 60's and 70's. Rest in Peace Keith Moon; no drum machine has yet to figure out how to replicate you. And sincere thanks to Pete and Roger; for simply showing the kids of today, what it's like to never give up............. Now's a good time to play "Quadrophenia", cranked up to 11

[@carollipton4584]

+Whiskey River (Doc) People can't even rhyme anymore. Katy Perry is on the level of the average 6th grader. Firework is about the dumbest pop song I've ever heard. Captain & Tenille had more going on.

[@donotgothere4659]

+Whiskey River (Doc) Wow, are you ever right. On all counts. It is sad that the people who might benefit the most from reading your very thoughtful post, probably won't. Anything longer than a one line test message slides into the 'whatever' category. Conformity, the foundation of consumerism, has won.

[@renjay3743]

There's nothing wrong with a drum machine. You're thinking that the old days were better. Well they were and they weren't. What's next? We don't know. You're covered in nostalgia and that's a stagnant thing. You can try and repeat the past but you will fail. You need to be looking forwards not backwards. Music isn't an industry it's an art form. Chuck Berry came along and said "roll over beethoven". Beethoven didn't roll over. He'd already secured his place as a popular music artist long before marketing became an art form. If you like rock'n'roll, popular music, or just simply art then the dudes who were in charge are seldom spoken of these days. Do you think Keith Moon is more relevant than Rimsky Korsakov? No he ain't he didn't compose Scheherazade. But who's talking about Korsakov these days? Neither you or the youth. Swings and roundabouts mate.

[@whiskeyriver4322]

Ren Jay, I doubt very much Nikolai would find much interest in your perceptions, or presumptions. And as long as the "art form" and it's creators are suppressed, or ignored, in favor of facsimiles that are form-fitted for the general public with the sole purpose of generating massive revenues, Music will continue to be an industry; and the only "art forms" deemed acceptable, will be the ones the executives allow...........

They epitomized what rock n roll is really all about - sadly though, you can see the pain in Moon's face... by this point he had been involved in a tragic car accident that killed a close friend & his wife had left him as he spun more out of control.... but what a fantastic band that somehow captured the piss, vinegar, and rebellion of the time with their music - each one - certainly including Moon & Townshend a unique super nova talent! Man - Moon played the drums with the fills & beats, in between the beats - like no one else could.

Keith Moon when seeing the filming clips of the Kids Are Alright Documentary, according to Daltrey, was deeply shocked by how much he had changed physically in just 15 years, "from a young good-looking boy to a spitting image of Robert Newton".

[@paulcolbourne9112]

7:05 "Do you think you'll be together 10 or 15 years from now. Is it possible Keith?". Keith "Yeah I think in some form or another, we will be". Keith decided to choose the other form completely.

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Keith looks like he's 45, not 32.

[@young321bookie]

Well said.

[@Str1ng5]

Holly shit i didnt even think he was 32 there.... Sure looked olderp

[@alisonbell3561]

Yes, he looks in his late 40s.

[@kevinc809]

yeah he aged so much those last few years.

[@deathkampdrone]

True. And Townsend looks like he's 72, wtf xD

[@alankanter450]

Met Keith Moon 3 or 4 times when we were recording on Track Records in the early 70's, always remember him in his velvet suit and frilly shirt drinking in the Golden Grove pub at the end of his driveway in Lyne, Chertsey. Great guy.

[@cloudear1]

It's almost impossible to categorize his drumming. The guy was magic. If you look at video of him playing, it almost seems impossible that he creates so much sound. Effortless. You just don't have these unique brilliant rock musicians like you used to. I'm glad he lived.

[@turnipoohead5762]

the interviewer did well-teased out some thoughtful answers and made keith answe r fairly difficult questions which clearly made him think a bit about the future which he probably didn't do often

[@tz88ss32vb]

Keith Moon was the original Punk, Metal drummer; he was sick as hell.

[@Hannahcannae]

The host is very engaging. They actually seem to enjoy the interview.

[@taxtell67]

Keith's white-knuckling it here. He had a mental illness called alcoholism and drug addiction. Bless him.

[@Rubbafingaz1]

@reality check Are you aware of how much Keith typically drank in one day i.e. is it documented to your knowledge?

[@mikekiss648]

He had more than that ...

[@stevec8243]

As someone who has also been touched by alcoholism, I get your comment 👍🏼

[@theotherwalt]

@Eamonn Wright Yes I saw that interview, the rehab clinic said there was nothing they could do to help him.

[@nkmcfrln]

Oh, god. You're a piece of shit. Doesn't matter what I've been through I don't drink or do drugs. I smoked for four years and quit. You don't speak for Keith. He was never happy. Had nothing to do with alcohol and drugs.

[@ThefightingCelt]

Daltrey was the leader, Townshend, the songwriter, composer and brains, Moon was the showman, and John Entwistle was the gel that held it all together.

[@VHMV1977]

That's right!!

[@beatleneil]

Daltrey the leader?? Gotta be insane..

[@ThefightingCelt]

If you know anything about The Who , then you will have learned that Roger Daltrey indeed was the group leader - a point which was made in Pete Townshend's autobiography. Daltrey was considered by the others to be alpha male - in the early days The Who was more or less Daltrey's group. It was he who eventually gave the go ahead for Pete Townshend to join the group.

[@VHMV1977]

DALTREY WAS EXACTLY THE LEADER IN FIRST INSTANCE THAT THEN PETE HAS MADE A PLACE AS THE COMPOSER, THEREFORE THE LEADER; THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN DISCUSSION

[@beatleneil]

ThefightingCelt as i understand it was Daltrey who almost got his ass kicked out of the group after hitting Keith Moon in '65

[@YouzTube99]

This provides and excellent contrast to the sanitized and boring 'star' interviews that have become the norm. Keith and Pete are remarkably candid. Hartman is clearly not very familiar with them but actually listens to their answers and asks follow up questions. And it you want to know how their manager Kit Lambert (Pete mentions he made the film shown at the beginning) sounded, Keith is doing an impersonation of his posh accent.

[@billvw1974]

Keith Moon Is The Man!

[@joe22589]

Definitely not! A poor and weak character!

[@music4meh]

I can't believe we've gone full circle: MY GENERATION can't get a home, can barely pay rent, we're scournching for friends, we're totally lost in a dying world

[@rattusnorvegicus4380]

"Will you still be together in 15 years"...Keith..."in some way or other" :(

[@brianfergus839]

"not to be taken away"

[@Zinkoff.]

Yeah.

[@OGskidrowinterviews]

So true

[@borisblvd5354]

The chair, the chair!!...ahhhh

[@mooncove]

Wow, I remember seeing this when it first aired! It's so heartbreaking when Hartman asks if they'll be together for another 10-15 years (was that all the time they were together? they were my life as a teenager) and Keith talks about the film projects they have going, "The Kids Are All Right" coming out, and then "Who Are You?," which was to come out just a couple of weeks before his death. Bless ya, luv, for posting this. Keith Moon: "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY"!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

"He's never serious..."--Pete to Keith. Moon lived on the moon emotionally. He was divided within himself. Hid in the bottle with a life of little structure and routine any addict desperately needs.

[@2zwaantjes]

I have always felt he made the band. Best drummer ever. I have listened to 'Who Are You' so many times, after all these years I still smile when I hear it, and at the same time it gives me goose bumps. Epic, that's the only way I can describe it.

[@vze4jt7f]

I kind of agree with Whiskey River who seems to speak with true wisdom in her heart. If I could add to those comments I would simply say that these guys were talented and special and they spoke to generations in a deeply profound and meaningful way. I remember being in high school and as we walked down the hall someone had Baba O'Reilly blasting on a boom box and it was hard for anyone not to rebel at least a little. TEENAGE WASTELAND IT'S ONLY TEENAGE WASTELAND THEY'RE ALL WASTED! We all lived it and it was powerful but at the same time, and just as powerful in the same song, were these words from the previous verse, that seemed to speak to us and for us and it meant something deep to our generation and beyond! "Put out the fire and Don't look past my shoulder The exodus is here The happy one of the year Let's get together Before we get much older..." There was love in the rebellion and it was okay because of the truths they touched on. We all felt it. I lost a lot of friends and family who died young and I always valued my time with people and when I hear that line "Let's get together before we get much older " it touched me deeply because it was a personal truth. It is even more so today! To me that was way more important as a message than THEY'RE ALL WASTED was. That just felt good to scream as it helped suppress the real issue, the bigger issue, what we all were running from to varying degrees. PAIN!

[@jargonellie6630]

RIP Keith. Best rock drummer the world has ever seen, fantastic sense of humour and style, a true legend. Hope you are clinking glasses with Ollie and your pet tortoise. RIP Dear Boy. XxX

[@daveparsons6956]

It's a source of continual amazement to me how every rock star doesn't end up like Keith. I know I would. All that money and time off touring. I appreciate they are all workaholics, but jeepers, I'd go right off the rails too.

[@colletteboardman2133]

Americans can't handle Keith moon's honesty RIP LEGEND

[@itsabeautifulthing2419]

This is the calmest I've seen Keith. 🥰 It's nice to see him calm. Probably caught him early in the morning.

[@jamesjohnson1266]

I enjoyed this interview with Keith Moon and Robert Townsend two very educated young men , I imagine the first 15 Years the who played together was the best year's, after the death of Keith Moon it was over as far as I'm concerned , the magic the band had as a whole was beautiful and never be the same

[@PhillRobinson]

Keith Moon a great interview still under the effects of alcohol. which well that was his way. Inside us all there is a braver more personal person trying to get out. Keith and many others find this person while intoxicated. Dont judge him...life can do this
