It's true. If you listen closely to a lot of The Who's '70s work, you'll hear Pete playing intricate rhythm guitar chord patterns behind John's bass lead. It redefined the traditional guitarist and bass player roles to a large degree.

Aside from the fancy poetry people express on the likes of Jon and other greats like Hendrix, for e.g, these guys studied their instrument, perhaps not theoretically but in terms of sound and brought out everything that was capable in their instruments. That's why it's difficult to replicate these guys, because they spent years and hours doing it.

Once upon a time, Brian May, the legendary guitarist of Queen, was walking down the streets of London when he spotted an old lady struggling with her bags. Being the gentleman he is, Brian offered to help her carry her bags. As they walked, they struck up a conversation and Brian learned that the old lady's name was Mrs. Oliphant. Mrs. Oliphant turned out to be a big fan of Queen, and was thrilled to be talking to one of her musical idols. She mentioned that she had seen them perform live a few times, and even had a treasured photo of Freddie Mercury and herself taken at one of their concerts. Feeling a connection with Mrs. Oliphant, Brian invited her to join him for a cup of tea at a nearby cafe. They sat and chatted for hours about music, life, and everything in between. As they were about to leave, Mrs. Oliphant mentioned that she had a surprise for Brian. They walked down the street to a small shop where Mrs. Oliphant disappeared into the back room. After a few minutes, she reemerged wearing a donkey jacket covered in patches from various rock bands. Brian was impressed by the jacket's unique style, and Mrs. Oliphant explained that it had been a prized possession of her late husband, who was also a big music fan. Feeling touched by Mrs. Oliphant's story, Brian asked if he could take a photo with her wearing the donkey jacket. Mrs. Oliphant was thrilled, and they posed for a picture that would later become a treasured memory for both of them. From that day on, Brian and Mrs. Oliphant became good friends, bonding over their love of music and the special connection they had made that day. Brian even dedicated a song to her at one of Queen's concerts, thanking her for reminding him of the true spirit of rock and roll.

When I heard that John Entwistle had died I was driving delivery at the time and immediately pulled off to the side of the road and cried. Deaths don't usually affect me like that but there is something about The Who and Entwistle's playing in particular that conjures up intense emotion. Also, I had not seen him play live and was devastated that I had missed my chance. Such power in his playing. He was the perfect foil for Keith too.

I had the privilege of seeing them many times in the mid to late 70's. John Entwistle had his entire side of the stage filled with a tri amped PA system for his bass. It was an experience that had to be heard to be believed. He had enormous folded bass enclosures book ending a mid range section with horns on top. When he hit a low note, the change in your pockets rattled. It was so full range and mixed with Pete's guitar wall and Mooney's symphonic drumming, it was an assault on the senses. I've never heard anything like it since then. Never.

Hi @TRIPLESEVENSIX do you need some info about Carlos Santana's knobs? I can tell you a history of his guitars if you like, here's an expert from my website: "One of Carlos' first guitars was a 1961/62 GIBSON SG SPECIAL, he played this guitar during the Woodstock gig in August 1969. It featured a cherry red finish, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, two P90 single-coil pickups, Grover tuners, ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and a wrap-around stop-tailpiece....... here's a bit of extra info.... Carlos stopped using this guitar going towards 1970, when a black SG Special with white P90s took its place. He allegedly destroyed it because it wouldn’t stay in tune!" Now aint that something. Thanks! - The Santana Sasquatch. P.S thanks for recommending me this Buckethead band stranger, just found a live vid of them shredding on youtube, cheers bud!

Back in the 1960's I remember a song called "I can see for miles" that I liked and then one day my older Sister brought home an album named "Tommy" by a band called The Who. A year or so down the road my Sister took me to see a movie titled "Woodstock" and there was this band called The Who and they just killed it and it all came together for me. Then soon after I was attending their live concerts and blown away every time. I also saw John in NYC at the Academy of Music on 14th street when he toured with his band "Ox." For me, the passing of Entwistle marked the end of The Who more so than Moon's death. Now, I'm just another old dude in my late 60's but there was a time when I rocked out, played in bands and enjoyed my youth. I still dig Rock though I've turned a bit more towards jazz. Stay young (even if only at heart) folks and enjoy. Best to all.

I saw Mr. Entwistle on his solo tour in Seattle in the late 80s. There was a buffet before the show and it was kind of set up like a cheesy nightclub. When John came onstage everyone just sat in their seats except me. I went right up to the stage and stood right in front of him like it was a regular stadium show. I was too stupid or too stoned to know the difference. It must have been bizarre for him to play the set with this lone kid standing right in front of him. I have no regrets, I had over an hour of watching him rock out at a distance fo 3 ft. Was a great and memorable night.

What's sad is autotune, computers doing the back up parts and general lack of talent in music makes me feel like our best music days are behind us.

Met John Entwistle in a strip joint in Memphis, TN. Walked into Platinum Plus one Saturday evening wearing a Kiss: Dressed to Kill shirt. This guy looked at me, smirked a bit and nodded his head. I sat there for 20 minutes wondering why the guy looked so familiar. When one of the dancers went up to Baba O'Riley, it hit me, it was OX!! I ran to the bar, got a pen and napkin and got his autograph. I still have it.

So, according to you, he could read my mind and knew who I thought he was. Oh, and since he had a solo show later that evening at the Hi-Tone, I'm fairly confident it was John.

I feel so lucky to have seen The Who on their last tour with John. The From The Bush to the World tour in 2000. Saw them in Cleveland in I think it was September or October that year. He did a 20 minute bass solo that my mind has still not recovered from 22 years later, in a good way lol...... man, the Who were at their absolute best on that tour. Saw them in '96 on their Quadrophenia tour as well. Can't believe it's been 20 years since The Ox died. I remember vividly watching the Headline News Channel that morning in my living room at my old apartment when the news flash came on that he'd passed. It was like a sucker punch to the gut, because I always felt like The Who were guys on my level, cool guys who weren't rock star divas and were guys you could sit down at the bar and have a beer with. Few celebrity deaths ever affected me like that. Never thought Roger and Pete would still carry on as The Who either. I don't even know who their bassist is today.

Paul McCartney is a great rock bass player without a doubt. JPJ of Zep even better than Paul. And so many more, like Wakeman, Getty Lee. But this guy? There really wasn't, or isn't anyone around that sounded quite like him. What he could do with his fingers on bass, is something of what a concert pianist does on keys. And he could make you think there was a nuclear bomb going off and still look completely bored doing it. Amazing. Maybe all the energy his body had was going through his fingers. He was absolutely the best.
