For all Townshend's ability to theorise, Roger has a way of cutting to the heart of the matter, as he does here. Pretty safe to say he missed Keith, you can't fake that.

Keith always thought of Roger as an older brother. He said Roger was the only one he ever knew that had it all together.Keith called Pete every night and sometimes Roger to wish them a good night and would always say i love u? Pete said that Keith was very insecure.
@5jerry14 жыл бұрын
~ I remember reading that. I also remember Pete would reply with something like "I love you too, but you're still an asshole." I think only Townshend could say something like that and still come off as affectionate.

@StonyStevenson753 жыл бұрын
In my opinion The Who's best work in the studio and on stage was behind them by the time they lost Keith, so I don't know how they would have 'become much better' had he lived. Would they have done more albums? Would Pete have written different material to what transpired on Face Dances, It's Hard, etc? Either way there's very little of their material post-Moon that stacks up against the period he was in the band, so I'm inclined to believe that his presence on the later albums wouldn't have made a great deal of difference to the writing, if at all. Had Keith died in 1970 I'd be wondering too..

Keith Moon was one part of the greatest rhythm section that ever lived as well as being the greatest drummer ever in the greatest band ever. Zak Starkey is the current Who2 drummer and although he is Ringo's son, Keith taught him how to play and he does play with that same thrashing style. I miss Keith and not only him but his outrageness which kept him original and thrilling. Can't wait to see him and Twinkle together at the great gig in the sky. Then I'm kickin' her down and we're drinking!

He’s talking about 75-78, when there were large gaps between tours/shows, which was also largely Keith’s fault for moving to LA and isolating himself from the rest of the group in pursuit of every kind of excess while becoming completely out of shape for touring.
