Pete Townsend is great, but... to me The Who just isn't The Who without Keith Moon. |

I agree....Though Zak Starkey does a good job. Plus he has the bonus to be liked with The Who's history. |

Come on, there's only half the original band now...
They should at least change a name or something. It's not the Who without the whole original band, especially when 50% is missing! |

The Who has always been basically a one man show when it comes to writing their material. Anyone who has seen a post JE show knows the still kick ass as well.
Let's hope Pete can still write some rockers. |

Yes, but a band is not only writing songs. It's performing them as well.
I haven't caught the Who live, so I couldn't really know how good they are. But it's just a little sad to go listen to the "Who" and just see Daltrey and Townshead, good as they are.
Just a little changing in the name! |

Post John Entwistle, if I'm not wrong. |

I am sure Mr. L will back me up on this, but if the Stones can play their songs with Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman then The Who is can play without Moon and Entwhistle. In fact, as good as Moon was, Mick Taylor is the bigger loss.
The Who is currently way closer to 1975 in their sound and performance than the Stones.

I love the Who. I just don't get how they can actually be The Who by 50% less. |

yep. Plus The Who have been without Moon for about two thirds of their career..
I have to say that when Entwistle popped his clogs, I thought they should quit and to carry on was a bad move.
Having seen them in Birmingham 5 months ago, I'm happy to have been proved wrong.
Zak Starkey is a drummer who fits into the band perfectly. The fact that Townshend and Daltrey felt that the other guys they tried before couldnt replace Moon but that Starkey fits the bill is good enough for me.
Daltrey also has got his voice working again much better than he has done for years, and I've NEVER seen any guitarist at any live show I've attended played with the ferocity and passion that Pete Townshend did that night. He was breathtaking. |

The Who still kick it. Saw them in Detroit a couple of years ago and they fuckin' rocked it. I thought it was better than the Stones show I went to during Licks. More fire-power and energy. None of that prancin' around with cigarettes and back-up singers; they actually played the whole time. |

I haven't seen The Who live, only on DVD. However, I can't imagine a show without them making a lot of noise, as that is their image. A lot of GOOD, LOUD noise, at that. You can't compare the Stones with The Who. They're concepts on stage are too different. |

The Who are better in concert now than any older rock group.. They're playing they're asses off and Pete is still a great guitarist, and in some ways he's grown better than ever. Yes, it's a shame that Moon and Entwistle aren't there, but this is a testement to Daltrey and Townshend, who can still rock out, even withought their fallen bandmates. As for a name change, why? Both the Stones and Pink Floyd lost their founding member...if anything constitutes a name change, it should be that, and even then, it's unneccesary. |

Zack Starkey now drums with Oasis. He played with them at Glasto and he's currently working on the new Oasis record in LA.
Would it be possible for him to be in two bands? For all I know, The Gallagher brothers may just be hiring him.

Cheers Zeeta. The thing is, all your points are spot on!
I guess they are just a little like us. They just prey their band will deliver a great new record and that anyone who bashes them should be be-headed!
Actually, they're quite imature over on that board, aren't they? |

They don't have a fuckin clue - most of them are Yanks anyway I think!? I love gettin their backs up thO! |

Yanks? No, I wouldn't of thought so.
America's attitude towards Oasis does crack me up though.
I was watching an American documentary on them and they were using Subtitles whenever Noel and Liam opened they're gobs!
Anyhow, my view on Oasis is that they made a couple of cracking albums and they have been in radical decline ever since. I would still love to see them live, but there�s no way I'm trekking all the way to Milton Keynes to see 'em.
My girlfriend saw them at Earl's Court in 95. Now that must have been good.

I bet whenever Zak performs onstage with Oasis and looks out from behind his drum kit and sees those two smarmy , wormy , little piece - of - shit Gallagher brothers he just wants to ram his drumsticks so far up their arses that they can taste sawdust .

I've seen the Who a couple of times, but not since the Ox died, however when I saw them a couple of years ago at the birmingham NEc and they blew me and my mate away.
Didn't have much stage show, unlike the Stones, they just came out with a basic light show and rocked the place!
Say what you like, but they were/are a great band who are really powerful live. |
