The Who? Superbowl

[Tim C.]

don't know, but he's been touring with the who since 82.

1979 for the Who Are You album tour.

 

[Electra Player]

And Bassist!

Really? Or are you messing with me here?

 

[JimmyM]

i could do without prince's slappy mcslapperstein bass playing, but his guitar work is great.

btw, here's rabbit's wiki page in case anyone cares:

Yes, Really!

You a Les Claypool fan?

 

[Electra Player]

Yes, Really!

Oh, wow, where have I been?

used to be back when he was writing good songs.

 

[Electra Player]

used to be back when he was writing good songs.

Personally, he never did to me.

I respect him as a bassist, but do not enjoy his music, per se.

when was that?

 

[Demonator]

They should have played Happy jack, but atleast they played Teenage wasteland

 

[Electra Player]

MAJOR OFFENSE.

Song is called Baba O' Reily (sic?).

 

[bassophil]

The drummer needed a haircut bad.

I LOL'ed at Pete's "wardrobe malfunction"... the jacket constantly getting in his way of his strumming....

My first thought was "Oh! Nigel Tufnel is playin' drums for The Who now!"

 

[JimmyM]

when was that?

lol! yeah, i know it's a little hard to tell the difference between good and bad with les...fine line.

Two words: Unforgivable sin.:scowl:

Go back to watching season 47 of CSI.

 

[JimmyM]

yes, it would have been a great idea for the who to play the most obscure songs in their catalog at the super bowl. i wish they'd have played run run run and cobwebs and strange. and what's the deal about not playing the rotosound jingle on the who sells out? they could have been a big hit with all the musicians in the crowd...all 200 of them.

 

[Electra Player]

all the musicians in the crowd...all 200 of them.

Ah yes, truth if ever there was.

It wasn't "wardrobe malfuction", Pete's been messing around with his suit jacket like that since the eighties.

I think the bass player did exactly what the gig called for. He's there to play, not to be a star. I think the group did just fine. They're playing music and getting paid, while others exercise their right to free speech....

The vocals were really bad and the instruments just so-so. The bass was the best part. There comes a time when you have to hang it up and move on, unfortunately. Yes, I hope to be playing into my 70s, but probably not in front of millions of people and getting paid big $$$.
I don't get the "they did good for their age" mentality. I think you have to judge a performance regardless of the musician's age. I'm a big Who fan and have been for most of my 43 years, but I would not pay to see them perform based on the superbowl show.

 

[Fawkes007]

I don't think it has **** to do with age, it's whether or not you still sound worth listening to.

"Still sound worth listening to" is a matter of opinion.
