Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash and Sting interviewed on music programme 'Alright Now' to promote new film, 'Quadrophenia.' (6 June, 1979). *Better quality than before Credit: itnsource
I was about 14 when the Quadrophenia film came out and it made me want to be a mod. Still liked Den Hegarty (the interviewer) when he was part of a wonderful contemporary doo-wop band, Darts.
Quadrophenia was filmed Sep 25, - Dec 1978. This was 6 June, 1979 (35 anniversary of D Day) promoting the film not released in the UK until 16th Aug. 1979. By this time Sting was already huge with The Police, but the inteviewer seems oblivious to that,
Sting would know better than anyone. He was a sellout from day one and the fakest punk rocker who ever lived, a total bandwagon jumper. At least The Who were true innovators and actually put some blood, sweat and tears into what they did before they got rich and lazy.
@@silversnail1413 All credit to The Who becoming successful and rich, but you can’t seriously accuse them of being lazy. They are still touring, and when they are not they have other worthwhile ventures going on. - like charities….
Roger Daltrey wrote in his book that The Who were never really mods themselves, but they attracted a mod following at the London clubs they played. I think back then they covered a lot of R'n'B classics which the mods liked to dance to. But The Who are essentially a rock band, which is a bit of a paradox.
The absolutely gorgeous Phil Daniels, beautiful Leslie Ash and amazingly brilliant Sting!!!! I recognise the guy who interviewed them but can't remember what band he's in! :)
Dan haggerty from darts ,went to see them in Reading hexagon, mid song Den climbed up on to the balcony ran round the wall railing ,climbed down the other end and back on the stage 😮 that was in the days before health and safety 😅
Awesome Film and album..think we all could relate to some of those lyrics..can you see the real me and her fellas Gunna kill me ooohhhh fking will he 👍👌
Memory popped up. I am from Cincinnati and 1979 was when they had their concert and 11 people were crushed to death. They came back and played Cincinnati as part of a "healing" btour thing. There was a whole documentary on the concert and aftermath.
Sting was super educated, he had degrees, qualified as a teacher, an untouched musician and singer. So all those having a dig, try and fill up a postage size bit of paper on what you have done in life.
iam Biker rocker & still love this movie👌👌well played & acted👌👌what makes me laugh though the mods all liked the who which is A rock band lol🤣😂if they loved the who they should have been rockers not mods🤣😂
Yeah when they began they were the high numbers playing zoot suit and i’m the face then they changed direction My Generation is heavy as kinks you rally got me … times were changing 👍
Heavy Metal came from Mod anyway. The first bands to use Marshalls were The Who and the Creation used massive amplification when most bands were using Vox AC 30's. First "Metal" song was The Kinks " You really got me". Led Zeppelin evolved from The Yardbirds and Deep Purple evolved from The Searchers drummer!
I wonder if they'll make a film in twenty years about today called Quadrosenior. A story about a 60 year old salad dodger who rides a plastic Ebay tat-laden auto scooter.
theyd be on mobility scooters, with loads of mirrors, chasing the Elvis fans in their 80s, also on mobility scooters, but with cow skulls perched at the front. The pills would be bladder related, and the soundtrack would include "Can You Hear The Real Me", "Dellboy" and "Pain Over Me"
@@Mod-rw9cw I think you'll find London Traditional Pie & Mash not a Geordie thing, as I'm sure their Pie & Mash is nothing like London Traditional Pie & Mash hence my comment. The Fact his from Whitley Bay means nothing.
@@GEricG Isn't it sad that all these people are turned by money it would seem,...is their any famous person out there who is still 100% genuine to their roots?
