I think it's interesting that whenever there's a discussion on who's the GOAT on bass, almost all the other names brought up (Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Lemmy, etc.) were influenced/inspired by John Entwistle.
The Who at times called themselves maximum R&B. The bands from that time really grabbed a lot of genres and made the rock sound. Was a great time for music
Guys That Bass Line, and the late Keith Moon on drums. That’s one of the tightest grooves in all of R & R History. They start with the hammer down. And just never let up. Great Job once again. ❤
You guys should definitely consider doing the whole album...It's one of the all-time greats. I got to see The Who perform this entire album from start to finish in concert - one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've seen lots. Enjoying your reactions and your discoveries along the way!
We Don't Get Fooled Again, is a must listen to song from The Who. Roger Daltry, best rock scream in this song. Also, the message is still relevant today.
Yeah, the message is super relevant imo because it shows how every generation thinks they are going to do things in some radically different fashion but in the end, it seems like more of the same. We change the colors and flavors and styles but humans keep doing the same basic things over and over.
I would say this is one of the Top Ten "MUST LISTEN" rock songs out there, by ANY group! For its sheer overpowering QUALITY and ROCKINGNESS, but also cos it's socially important and the very SOUL of rock and roll in many ways! Airplay Beats will NOT be disappointed, lol!
The album is about the mod culture in 60s England the mods loved their Motown so it’s really interesting you guys picked up on the Motown sounds here. Hadn’t occurred to me before. The whole album is driven by the bass and drums of two of the greatest.
OMG so glad you're doing this one. Hoping you'll do all of QUADROPHENIA. This music and film changed my teenage life (for the better). Orchestral and so emotional.
Rock music doesn’t get any better than this. Peak Who. Who’s Next then this masterpiece of a concept album. They had so many great songs later but Townsend admitted that they could never top Quadrophenia. So glad you’re reacting to this album. Great work guys.
Should have let it keep going, it merges into Quadrophenia, main theme, an absolutely magnificent instrumental piece. I always consider, I Am The Sea (the short preamble) The Real Me and Quadrophenia Main Theme to be one piece and they should be listened to like that.
Keep plugging away. You are getting a solid foundation for rock & roll and blues/ rock! I hate to sound like an old fart but you rarely find musicians capable of recording and performing live music, like BITD (70's, give or take a few years)! Your musical life is changing for the better! 🤘🏼🎵😜
Saw the Who in the 70’s. The ending you only hear in stereo but in concert they had speakers in the 4 corners of the stadium. The Quadraphonic sound going all around & back in forth was incredible effect.
the who were rooted in the 50`s R&B, but they took that sound into the rock side of rock & roll. They are so immense, wild and fantastic. What a bunch of amazing artists
The Who promoted themselves as Maximum R&B starting back in 1964. They played Motown covers regularly into 1967, then brought back Baby Don't You Do It (Marvin Gaye) in 1971 shows. So, well spotted!
The 70s had the greatest music and musicians in every genre Rock, R+B, Funk, Soul,Country, you name it there was great music coming from them. It was you and the band and your instruments and a big Sound system, Thats it no big screens, special effects and it shows check them all out. Augusta Ga
Entwhistle played "Lead Bass" as a joke when they were recording this in the studio. The other guys loved it so much they kept it in the final product. That was his first and only take in recording it. Skillz.
What you're hearing is Entwhistle's first take in the studio. Said he was just playing around. Other members loved it so much this was the one they used for album.
This is definitely one of The Who's best. Even BETTER (you bet!) is the eight-minute rock MASTERPIECE "Won't Get Fooled Again"! It is unbelievably good. Bass, drums, gee-tar, vocals, ramped up even more. Kick-ass synth keyboards, too. "Behind Blue Eyes" and "I can see for miles" and "My Generation" and "5:15" and "Who Are You" and "Magic Bus" and, well, there ARE a lot of superb songs by this amazing group, but I'd put "Won't Get fooled again" at the top of their best!
Allegedly they told the bass player just play the craziest thing you can, we're not recording the bass track on this take. They were, and they kept it.
Let it roll into the next song, it's an overture..it previews the entire album thru ,3 minute instrumental of musical genius. The overture gives you a sample of all the songs of the album. .. including Love Reign over me..the finale! Love you two willing too do this one. RESPECT! 💥❤️👍💯
You like the bass. You like the horns. Thank John "Ox" Entwistle, who was the who's bassist, plus did the horn work in studio. Yes, he was an accomplished French Horn player as well as a bassist.
I knew John Entwistle who was the nicest guys you'd ever wanted to meet and the most talented bass player I can think of. He was so underestimated. I thought John was even better than Bootsy and JPJ!
First I saw these guys doing Quadrophenia starting with the third track (quadrophenia) and it's like No, guys, you have to start at the beginning with the Real Me....... then I saw they did do that and I'm listening to it now to see what they have to say at the end.
