THE WHO - Eminence Front | REACTION

The Who is British. The Guess Who is Canadian.

[@keithlau3872]

"Eminence Front" is the greatest song to come out of the Kenny Jones era. The synthesizer lines are awesome. John's bass playing is simply wicked. And Pete's lyrics are downright vitriolic. These are the reasons why this tune is a timeless classic!

[@jb-ik8sj]

Agreed

[@inthebeast]

A lot of folks don't like this album, I think it kicks ass.

[@robertwilson7301]

Love the simplicity of the song, so closet guitarists like me can play most of The Who's songs because they are relatively easy to play, excluding the Townsend Solo's. Pete's a pretty good singer and I liked how Roger Daultry sang backup while playing guitar. I've always wondered if Keith Moon was alive, would he have played the drum part differently than Kenny. I'm Canadian, so I'm proud of the great success of The Guess Who but The Who are in my top 10 of all the greatest bands of all time. Townshend's body of work is absolutely phenomenal as his originality, breakthroughs with key boards and synthesizers in a rock band were amazing. He was the total package when it came to writing great songs with great lyrics, choreographing and composing like no other and even making movies. Smashing up equipment was an added bonus to the live show. Again very original. Tommy, Quadraphenia, songs like Pinball Wizard, Live Reign Or' Me, Baba O'Reilly, Won't Get Fooled Again, Can't Explain, etc, etc. and on and on is quite a legacy to leave behind. Anyways Randy Bachman, guitarist for the later named Guess Who and Pete Townshend both picked the same name for their respective bands. So when Randy met up with Pete in an English pub, he was going to lay claim to the name "The Who". He confronted Townshend, who was drinking and probably on drugs at the time. Pete told Bachman to f*ck off, laughed in his face and proceeded to ignore him. So an always sober Bachman decided this was a war he couldn't win cause lawyers cost money and he had none, so he changed his band name to The Guess Who. I guess Pete got his point across. LOL. In my opinion, The Who are right up there with Led Zeppelin and The Stones. Rock on Pete, you have my admiration and awe.

[@redarmysoja]

Here's what the song is about... "In the song, Townshend sings about the delusions and drug use of the wealthy and hedonistic. The lyrics describe a party in which people hide from their problems behind a façade. Townshend has introduced the song in live performances with: "This song is about what happens when you take too much white powder; it's called 'Eminence Front'". And they're British, not Canadian. They're one of the bands they are referring to if you have ever heard the term "British Invasion" in music of the late '60's.

[@highendservicesbarrieont8347]

If you like The Who , check out several songs front their “Live at Leeds” album. Specifically “Young Man’s Blues” ,”Summertime Blues”, “Shakin’ all Over”, “My Generation” and “Magic Bus”. All live versions, the last two are extended versions, with medleys of other songs added in. And the are British, came about the same time as the Beatles, The Rilling Stones, and Led Zeppelin.

[@ThatFaceMelter94]

Dominic Rossitto I’ve got to add to this, because they later released the 33 songs that is Live at Leeds. As great as the original 6 songs were, it’s just a small taste of everything else on it, including all of Tommy. Even though it’s deemed as arguably the greatest live album of all time, it seems like the later releases flew under the radar, making it an underrated performance all together.

[@loosilu]

They're before Zeppelin. Jimmy Page tried to poach Keith Moon and John Entwistle, And Moon came up with the name Led Zeppelin.

[@garyglaser7354]

The who One of the greatest rock bands ever. part of the British invasion along with the stones the Beatles and so on they had hits in the 60s 70s and 80s. And although Keith Moon was already dead and probably one of the loudest drummers ever Kenny Jones could bang away like no one else and I got to see them in 1982 I was a junior in high school at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe Arizona my seats were nose bleed but the sound was awesome.

John Entwistle. Oh boy... What an underrated bassist that died too soon. Easily one of the top ten bassists of all time!

[@olatunjiemanuel812]

I understand John is universally regarded as one of the top three and for many the greatest bassist of all time. As far as I am aware he is far from underrated. In fact he is the only member of the band (one of the most talented ever individually and collectively) to have such universal acclaim for his instrument. Keith Moon is ranked usually in the top two among rock drummers and Townshend in the top ten among guitarists. The only one who is underrated in my opinion is Daltrey who has a voice that is just insane, but bizarrely never appears to be ranked among the top ten rock vocalists.

[@olatunjiemanuel812]

I should correct that to say rock bassist. There are many jazz bassists up there with John, like Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Mingus, Jimmy Garrison, Ron Carter and Paul Chambers to name but a few.

[@chorinu7609]

Excellent choice!

[@michaelliacone5874]

Listen to that bass,he'll yeah.

[@matthewburkart7718]

This is old Who! Need to see them with Keith in the late 60s early 70s to see what this band is really about!

[@teamwipe804]

I am SO happy you reacted to THIS version. It's by far the best version because this version you can REALLLLLY hear the bass player, Mr Thunder fingers himself, John Entwistle. Great reaction vid! Subbed!

[@julieraymond482]

Pete was from a musical family.Mother was a singer,and dad was a sax player or something in a band himself.,according to Behind Blue Eyes,an autobiography of his time in the Who and solo,among other events in his life at the time.

[@mortmortmort8908]

Been waitin a long time for this one! Also they are from England. You want Canadian artists that tear it up check out The New Pornographers. Mass Romantic, The Bleeding Hearts Show, The Electric Version, The End of Medicine, and Testament to Youth In Verse are all excellent songs by them.

Yes and Pete Townshend it's not a very nice guy

[@TheOttercreek]

Those bands might be a little overly hip for what we’re doing here. No disrespect.

@@TheOttercreek It's all about having an open mind my friend.

[@barblc3202]

when Pete Townshend went solo, he put out a great song in the 1980s, "Face the Face" - could you react to it?

[@jeanc.65]

Yes, that’s a great album!

[@fortunateson101]

The single 'Give Blood', with David Gilmour on guitar, off of that album is awesome!

[@TheRagratus]

The "White City" album is loosely the sequel to Quadrophenia

[@larryhostler5630]

Give Blood live with David gilmour and Simon Phillips

[@jerrytaylor4078]

Ekaterina McGuire Every time you see PT performing this song, everyone there, the band, audience, everyone is just having the time of their life. And they should, it’s a great song.

[@NealStidham]

The Who are British - part of the original British Invasion, along with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

[@randy8297]

Lets not forget The Kinks!

[@jerrytaylor4078]

Neal Stidham Please don’t leave out Pink Floyd.

[@rigelmoon9030]

The intro with Pete playing that incredible solo is spankin'. The Who's greatest live performance. Jam Man, I'm so glad you chose the live version from '82. Thanx.

[@siriuslee9615]

You are cracking me up , it's so great to see a younger person checkout the music I grew up with and to see you enjoy it is fantastic ! 👍 your reaction's are priceless , thank's for checking out this old stuff . Oh when you were 2 yr's old I saw them live Tampa Stadium Fl .

[@jrobertlysaght]

oh man, good choice. great reaction, another bright spot on a long isolation day. I'm grateful for you, man.

[@jw1496]

My favorite Who song!! Seen them in Nashville last year. Pete Townshend was poking fun of Mick Jager's dance moves and he tripped up, landed on his ass center stage and never missed a lick! Thank you!!

[@texy213]

More to check out from The Who: Long Live Rock, Bargain, Behind Blue Eyes, and Join Together. Also, they are British.

[@melissawilcox5285]

My absolute favorite song by them! Great live as well!

[@tommycanadasmobazimmer]

First farewell concert of The Who. Many of my friends were at this show. It was simulcast on TV. I didn't want to sleep out for tickets months earlier, so I just watched it at home on TV.

[@kay-kaybritt3535]

The Who is one of the best! Legends! I was a Junior in HS when this came out! ❤️

[@mygirlpiper]

kkslakelife same here and I was so lucky to see The WHO perform this live during that "82" tour!! - " The shares crash and hopes are dashed" is so relevant in "2020"

[@charlesbarton3032]

Now see this is an example of live sounding as good as the studio version

[@patriceschmitz521]

Pete Townsend was self taught on guitar. Genius. Daltrey and the rest of the band are outta sight

[@cameroncooper4175]

Nice reaction Jamel. I was at this show (but I wasn't two years old) ... You have an open mind and an open heart, man. It is refreshing.

[@christinariedel2303]

Love that you listened to more than just the music, fantastic as it is/was, you get the message because you listen for the meaning and the purpose for writing it in the first place. Great to see that people still value the messages. Way to go
