Two words.
"Tommy Sucks."
Well, in comparison.
I bought the soundtrack to the Quadrophenia movie for $10 at a little bootleg store (thinking, of course, it was the full deal, which sells for an obnoxious 35 bucks normally), and having listened to the Quadrophenia tracks, I must say...
Holy *shit*, man! This is great!
And now John Entwhistle's dead and we'll never hear it again!
*sob*
Anyone know if the Stones ever tried a 'rock opera' type idea or did Keith mercifully put that idea out of its misery as soon as it came out?
I don't think they'd have done so well - can you imagine? Bill Wyman singing "My name is Ivor... I'm an engine driver..."? I can, however, imagine Ronnie singing Keith Moon's parts... Ronnie's the man.
But we've established this.

Hey, Savie, isn't that movie soundtrack awesome? Joker James, Hi Heal Sneakers, 2 or 3 other unreleased Who songs, Green Onions by Booker T. I think they also remixed or overdubbed some of the original songs from Quadro. Movie was hilarious too.
Fucking great album.

Amen Moonie ......Hold on .......What little buddy ?
<------ Oh , don't forget " Four Faces " !
Entwistle remixed many of the songs to better effect . The movie was awesome " Ferdie ain't here , is he ???? " but the heavy cockney dialect made the dialogue difficult to understand and wore your young Joey out .

Ha ha, I was thinking of that exact line earlier. Although, it was terrible when they referred to Ferdie as a "Nig Nog." After all the bluddie leapers he gave them.
Remember "BonzOOOOOOOOO!!!" And the chick in the bathtub. I've never had that pleasure. God damn, I wish I was a 1960s mod enamored with the Who and rioting in southern England and riding trains all whacked out and shit like that.
I am fluent in cockney Joey. Let me know if there is anything you want translated. Any fahkin' fing atal, yeh greet wee poof! Oi dunno den, do Is? |

I hear you screaming . I will be thinking about all of you guys in Chicago this week . I am still holding out hope for the Aragon , but it ain't looking good ! Please E - Mail me if you score some cheap tickets .
When is Comiskey ??? Friday night ????? God I pray the weather is good ....should be ......It doesn't get cool and rainy in these parts until late September ......The weather should be absolutely beautiful for the Stones .
Please drink plenty of wine at Harry Carey's for me . That restaurant has the best wine in all Chicago -- No crap !

Pardon me, Joey.
But did you just, within the span of two posts, steal my new nickname, "Skittles"?
That is an all time record and, if it should not be encouraged, at least must be applauded.
Nicely done you old sod!
Skittles!

Forget the soundtrack of "Quadrophenia" - go the whole hog and invest in the actual original album. You'll only appreciate the piece as a WHOLE,the soundtrack only contains parts of it,which while its great to listen to,makes it artistically redundant.
The original Quadrophenia album will change your life. Its been in my "Top 10" all time list ever since I first bought it 25 years ago...and The Ox was never better than this. |

| sirmoonie |
Absolutely. Didn't mean to imply that the original wasn't the absolute masterpiece. The soundtrack is just some fun stuff.
Yep, Quadro would still be in my desert island top ten after all these years.
The night is hot and black as ink, ooooh god I need a drink... |

I only have the soundtrack, as it is the main one that is stocked now, I rarely see the original version, should I get the full album version? you all seem to say it is much better than the soundtrack.

Get the real thing, man. The movie's great enough, but I believe that, despite the muddy mix, synthesizers, strings and dramatic instrumentals, it really kicks ass even over Tommy. Truly amazing stuff. All the brass and great bass work recorded by the Ox is phenomenal. "5:15," "I'm One," "Drowned," "The Real Me," "Love Reign O'er Me," "Dr. Jimmy," "The Punk and the Godfather" they're all the best songs.

Sure! Do that! Quadro is a full story, a book to listen to. The double-LP (TrackRecord 2644 001, 1973, Europe) is a work of art, B&W pics of London kids and streets, family, fights, Brighton, the sea.,.. All lyrics and a preword of Pete ending with: "Schizophrenic? I'm Bleeding Quadrophenic."
Back cover:
"This music is dedicated to the kids of Goldhawk Road, Carpenders Park, Forest Hill, Stevenage New Town and to all people we played to at the Marquee and Brighton Aquarium in the summe of '65."

" But did you just, within the span of two posts, steal my new nickname, "Skittles"? "
My little buddy here told me he came up with it ......
< ------- just look at that cute little innocuous smile of his .......wouldn't you believe him too ????? I know I do !
Now back to said topic .........." Quadrophenia " represents The Who at their peak .....all four musicians were firing on all cylinders . At the very end of " Love Reign O' Me " , Pete Townshend told Keith Moon to smash everything in sight -- drums , microphones , amps , paneling , stage , anything he could get his hands on as it was all going to somehow be recorded and placed on the album -- and it was ......and it was good !
Sadly , Kim Moon divorced Keith a few months after Quadro's release and Keith went slowly downhill until his death five years later . Sad ..Sad ...Sad !

Yeah Jeez, Scot, the soundtrack is fun, but the album is beyond belief. Nobody before or after will ever put together rock and roll like that again. It truly was as Time magazine inferred: "rock's outer limits."
The soundtrack is just fun for the unreleased stuff and nostalgia attached with the movie.
Laugh and say I'm green, I've seen things you'll never see....
Chisel puckie, chisel puckie
Smiff bam boom
Going to see the Rolling Stones
And see them damn soon
Snizzle dickie, snizzle dickie
Fork me some Stones rock
Gonna get blasted at the show
And then go wank my Stones cock
Hey, I'm trying. Been drinking, you see.... |

I wish everyone would try this hard.

I saw them a few weeks ago and I'm so glad I decided to go. They were absoultely awesome!! Fantasitc show! If anyone has a chance to see them at any of their remaining shows this month, do not miss it!! |
