The Who

As much as I love the who, I really do find it strange that my favourite song; Eminence Front only involves 2 of the 4 members. Keith Moon was pan bread at this point and Roger Daltrey didn't sing. Looking at the Who though, it really makes all the bands today look kind of shit because they simply did not give a fuck.

No band today, that I can think of in this world of political correctness, goes mental after a gig. Keith Moon trashed several hotels and got banned from every holiday inn. When thinking it would be a good idea to take his water bed from his room and into the elevator, it burst half way, sending all the water crashing through the floor and then through another floor and into a room. He destroyed 3 hotel rooms, in one go without even really trying to. Haha.

Honestly, the last band, that I really assume would be as crazy would be guns and roses. Oasis may fancy themselves but I fucking hate them. They're shite, all the music sounds the same and Noel Gallagher is annoying however I'd be annoying too if I knew I was well and truely passed my sell by date and I looked like a cross between a cheap wax statue and a thunderbird.

Another thing that I've thought about recently after listening to day tripper by the beatles and jimi hendrix live session at radio 1, is that I can't ever imagine any of the bands from the 60s and 70s ever hanging out together. Ever. Obviously they must have but it's not like you had festivals or anything back then. They'd probably just meet up for a massive drug binge, which would have been awesome.


Also, another thought on music. Why is a song always better when you hear it in a movie or when it gets released and hear it on the radio. I'd be struggling to say I liked 2 songs of MGMT's album when it first released but now that more songs have released and I'm hearing them more on tv and movies, I like them a lot better because of that, it's just weird.

Although, the main case in point here is Watchmen; which did have a lot of blue penis in it. You just know that Dr Manhattan would go out as a smurf each year, if he can make himself bigger, surely he can make himself smaller. How fucking awesome would that be? Also, apparently when you see him as a superhero, it's all CGI and they made his dong bigger. Imagine the awkwardness of that meeting with the actor.

Director: Strip down naked please...whoever you are
The Dude playing Dr Manhattan: Ok.....
Director: Haha, just as I thought, either grow an extra 2 inches or we're stretching that thing with CGI!
TDPDM: Fuck sake....

Later on that day...

TDPDM: Honey, is my dong too small?
TDPDM's wife: No, Why? ***Thinks to herself 'LOLOL' ***
TDPDM: Thanks darling, what's for tea?
TDPDM's Wife: Steak pie and chips ***Thinks to herself 'hopefully that'll put some meat on you LOLOL'***
TDPDM: Awesomesauce that sounds delicious.

The weekend after in the pub with his friends

TDPDM: Aye, apparently my weiner is too small and it's getting made bigger by CGI
The Dude's pals: HAHAHAHA! Check you baby dick!



Anyhow....The point I was making was this. Jimi Hendrix along the watchtower comes on and it's loud, very loud and up-mixed to surround sound and it fucking depresses me to know that I will never ever listen to that song in such an amazing fashion again. I've tried connecting my ipod to the surround sound at home and it just sounds loud but no it was no where near to giving me goosebumps. I'm actually contemplating going back to watch it simply for that scene.
