Well well well!
Sh*t went berserk online after THE WHO axeman Pete Townshend made a stupid statement on hate bandmates Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
The comment was made by Pete in a new interview with Rolling Stone. Pete said he doesn’t miss the late drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle.
He said:
“It’s not going to make WHO fans very happy, but thank God they’re gone.
“Because they were f*cking difficult to play with. They never ever managed to create bands for themselves. I think my musical discipline, my musical efficiency as a rhythm player, held the band together.”
He further added:
“John’s bass sound was like a Messiaen organ.”
“Every note, every harmonic in the sky. When he passed away and I did the first few shows without him, with Pino [Palladino] on bass, he was playing without all that stuff…. I said, ‘Wow, I have a job.’ ”
“With Keith, my job was keeping time, because he didn’t do that.”
“So when he passed away, it was, like, ‘Oh, I don’t have to keep time anymore.’”
