Most bands of the 80's talk about Van Halen. Every singer wanted to be David Lee Roth and every guitarist wanted to be Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen set the stage for that big hair and spandex wearing music that followed after. Until Grunge Rock killed it all off!
Taylor Hawkins was definitely channeling Keith Moon that night. I imagine every drummer that covers a Who song knows what he has to do, be Keith Moon for several agonizing minutes of chaotic, mesmerizing, finger bleeding, elbow numbing, rock and roll drumming. And loving it.
