I just realized that a drummer with a time machine makes perfect sense!  They're always ahead or behind, ya?

Pedro knows ALL about drummers. Oh yes.

Or, at least, foreign FILMS about drummers.

Supposedly Keith Moon never used his hi hats (at least not as one would usually use them) until Who's Next when the other lads INSISTED he did.

I heard an interview with Pete Townshend a while back where he said he often wished Keith would ''just play the ****ing backbeat''. Mr Moon was a frustrated frontman I reckon.

Yeah, him and Moony were best of buds and a great musical team but holy hell was it a contentious friendship.
 
There were stories of Rog having to play daddy and even slapping them around when it got too stupid.

Wasn't the whole band comprised of frontmen?

There's funny little exchange on Live at Leeds where Pete is being all serious and listing bands that had covered the song they were about to cover themselves (damned if I can remember which tune it was but it's one of the old R&B classics).
 
As Pete's prattling off the names you hear Keith in the background taking the [verboten P werd] off him by shouting out "...and Felix the Cat".
 
Like I said in the Love Reign thread, Moon really mocked the crap out of Pete all the time... which he needed... because otherwise The Who would not have been the hard hitting Pre Proto Punk mayhem they were but instead ultra cheesy art fart crap that likely nobody would even remember now.
 
Of course Moon's abysmal solo outing (without Pete) was, well... abysmal.
 
Those two were MADE for each other.

Maybe, but I didn't really get that 'Look at me! Look at me!' thing from Entwhistle.

...apart from the skeleton suit thing.
 
 
 
Yeah, you're right.
