    And the Who were (the two remaining members still are) also great guys, with a strong sense of humor, each in their own way. Really fine human beings, and so kick-ass on stage...

    John Entwistle once declared that considering how explosive Moony and Pete were, he just CHOSE to stand still during gigs and TV show appearances.

      Actually, I think the current WHO, though a different band, is a very good band. Very exciting live, I enjoyed the two new songs, think Townshend is playing better than he ever did earlier in his career, and I think Roger is still an amazing singer. The show I saw in 2002 was maybe the best concert I've ever seen in my life.
      I agree,not the same band by a long shot without the ox but Townshend seems to be trying to make up for it.His guitar playing the last few tours has been amazing.As for John i met him twice once before the concert for new york as he was leaving bb kings around 500pm and on the 2000 tour after an msg gig at the irish times.A truly great guy who was as cordial and accommidating as anyone ive ever met.Deaf as a post and man he could drink,i bought him a drink at like 300am and he was drinking brandy with coffee.Chainsmoking and god knows whatelse.He seemed like a real rockstar and happy to be the center of attention,i thought man what a deep voice and after shaking hands with him you could tell he never lifted a shovel in his life.Anyway i highly suggest smash your head against the wall from his solo stuff and his dvd the john entwistle band left for dead"live" is excellent.http://www.johnentwistle.com/

          Amazing bassist. He was awesome.

          As for today's Who, I saw them last year and they blew my freakin' mind! What a great show! I love the Live In Boston DVD. It's like the show I saw. Roger was better at my show. He seriously sang better than he did back in the '70s. It was awesome. Pete's playing is so much better than it ever was before, too. If they still had Keith and John, well... WHOA.
