Roger Daltrey of The Who: Rock legend, cancer warrior
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лис 2018
- "You'll never make anything of your life, Daltrey": Those words by the school principal who expelled Roger Daltrey for misbehavior at age 15 resonated enough to fuel the young man to one of rock's most prestigious careers: Front man of The Who, star of "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia," "mod" fashion icon, and cancer warrior. He talks with Jim Axelrod about his new memoir, "Thanks a Lot, Mr. Kibblewhite," and about his 30-year mission of aiding hospital wards to deal with teenage cancer patients.

One of the greatest frontman and powerful voice in Rock...
Add D L R
@@fastted8618 DLR was damn good but crazy like Ozzy. Daltry was soulful and powerful for a long time. He sings OK nowadays but his style of singing is impossible to keep going heading into your 80s. He sure made it happen strong for 50 years, though.
The greatest voice in rock; and his cancer work is admirable.

Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Finnegan Randall Instablaster :)
He should have been honoured a title Sir for his sincere noble acts
A tough guy with a big heart and powerful voice...putting his $$ and success to good use helping kids with cancer. Live longer and rock on Roger 🤙
Pretty good looking for a 75-year old - and a very nice person, too!
Respect for his and Townsend's anti-cancer-work!
He allways was pretty good looking:-)
One of the best if not the best frontman of rock n roll. The Who will live in forever
Greatest frontman in rock and the greatest singer
GOD bless you guys for helping kids with cancer. You are truly doing the Lord's work...can't thank you enough.
Always preferred Rodger Daltrey to Paul McCartney because Roger is so down to earth and he never lost his working-class roots or never lost who he was Never full of himself just a genuine guy
Roger once gave an impromptu performance at someone's wedding I think in NJ because he happened to be staying at the same hotel. He just got down and partied with everyone.
@grimble Snobbery is unattractive at any age.
Paul has a big ego... that's the difference.
Daltrey is an ordinary guy.
@grimble you seem nice 🙄
Townshend, Daltrey, Entwistle, Moon...The WHO......doesn't get any better than that...GREATEST Rock n Roll band EVER!!!!!! Long Live Rock be dead or alive.
My dad told me roger daltrey is one of the best singers for The Who . When he saw him in Ames Iowa he said wow roger daltrey has not aged one bite . But now he’s making his life stronger and keeping his promise for kids and families all over the world . Pete Townsend has a great heart for people who believe in him and roger . As long as roger and Pete keep their health and strength they’ll always be friends and family of The Who thanks to Keith and John .
Well I just seen them for the 4th time a couple of weeks ago and I think it was probaly the best. was fortunate enough to see them in 96 and 2002 when the Ox was still kicking about. An as for Zak well uncle keith looks to have bee a great musical influence
I love the Who. Massive respect to Roger and Pete for everything.
Wow, Roger seems like a real class act.
This man is a god given legend.
This dude 👊...mad respect!!!
Daltrey is awesome!
A top 10 list of greatest rock artists of all time without the Who, is not a credible list.
John prine
Other than the writings of Lennon/McCartney The WHO were the most talented of the Brit bands imop
@Brian Drescher: The only band that still matters....’cept for P.F.
@Lloyd Bonafide
Good point.
@@motorcitymanman7711The Kinks
pure and absolute legend and surviving the big C makes him a pure hero.
An angel in the guise of a rock star , he is much more than a musician !
Best band of all time....from a lifelong fan
👍
Roger The Great !
What’s charismatic personality Roger is. 👍🇬🇧👍
Legend.
Hey, what a wonderful life. He gave and gave to the people the gifts that were given to him. That's what a Great man does.
My Late father had cancer but I would never get but Dad is in the heart.
Good story Hero for helping less fortunate bless you!
What a singer and fromtman, does a lot of great work for others!legend
Zeppelin, Floyd, Queen, Rush, The Who ... these 5 bands were 10 levels above everyone else.
Roger Daltrey is awesome, he is an awesome musician and actor. He is awesome being a member and the lead singer of the awesome rock band The Who. I loved his recurring role as the immortal Hugh Fitzcairn in the awesome 1990s sci-fi fantasy TV series "Highlander" (1992-1998).
Great story. Love it when good people give so much back. My hat off to you Roger Daltrey. Music brings people together. And in this time in all of our lives we need music. It soothes the soul.
The Teenage Cancer Trust, a very worthwhile cause.
This lad deserves a knighthood along with Townsend.
Wouldn't happen
Both Daltrey and Townshend were awarded a Kennedy Center Honor in 2008. The highest honor a cultural figure can receive in the U.S..
@@josephbuckley5961 My guess is that if offered a ' K ' , Roger would say yes. Pete would say ****!! A bit like Mick & Keith !
@@petermills542 thing is the who wouldn't happen the who were the first rebel band the monarchy don't like that type of thing
Joseph Buckley. Oh c'mon! The Who were NOT considered "the first rebel band" by ' Her Satanic Majesty' or anybody else! Just check your history books & news cuttings!!
One of my heroes!
Love ya, Roger. Loved the biography, love the new album, and I give you guys huge credit for the teen cancer units.
God bless these guys..for giving everything !
I adore Roger. I got to see him at his Ryman Auditorium concert in Nashville, his first time there, my first concert. He's 75, face looks 20 years younger at least, and body looks even younger than that!!
The only thing that irks me is they don't go into detail about how Keith died. He was actually CLEAN of drugs and alcohol, had even spoken to Pete on the phone the day before about the old band getting back together. What happened was, he was on Heminevrin, the British version of Anahol, which keeps you from drinking. But his whole life, even with aspirin, he never took one or two pills, he took a handful. Without thinking, he took a handful of Heminevrin and overdosed. Tragic accident. He was only in his 30's. Zak Starkey, Ringo Starr's son, now plays drums for them. He was drummer at the concert I attended. He was taught by both Ringo and Keith, and does a fair job imitating Keith's drumming style. It's just amazing.
One question I'd love to ask Roger, how did he come up with the trademark mic swinging? That's just fantastic and fun to watch!!
Roger is a real sweetheart! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him twice! He’s very warm, friendly and down to earth.
And the mic swinging? Boredom! That’s how that started...
Oh, and he’s 74! These things matter when you’re in your 70s! ; )
@@helenbryant404 Sorry, I thought they said he was 75! Must have misunderstood.
I saw an interview on the mic swinging. He said that the other fellas all had something that stood out, Pete's guitar smashing, of course Keith and John always dressed very flashy. So, he just came up with it on a whim. But I also heard him say that in the early days, guys in the crowd would throw things at them and being a bit of a bruiser when he was younger, he tried knocking them out with the mic. So it stuck. Probably a combination of both those things I think.
This is true....man, Ringo lost a number of his closest "mates" one after the other. Keith, John then Harry 😕
Great rock voice and a better human being !
i have always loved listening to him!!
My best friend died from cancer when we was kid's so i thank you Mr Daltry for your kind Heart and for your year's of Great Music \m/
I'll never forget their Concert for New York performance after 9/11 - blew the hall away!! Sad Entwhistle passed shortly after:(
Phenomenal performance!! John's last performance in America, with The Who.
Living music legend and now a hero.
Excellent video by CBS, with great music, video and photos in there too. Love Roger and The Who.
I saw The Who for the 1st time on holiday In Gt.Yarmouth in 1965.Sheer loud aggressive magic! Then saw them in a small club in Nottigham doing My Generation which confirmed their genius! A mind boggling group.So original.
Love him, not just because hes’s the frontman of my favorite band♥️
I love Roger Daltrey
I lived with grandparents who repeatedly said 'Young people don't get cancer!', and my mum lost several close friends at criminally young ages to cancer, so I knew it wasn't true. What Roger and The Who have been doing for teenaged cancer sufferers is absolutely wonderful, and so sorely needed. True Rock Legends!
STUD !! ....He's got 20 years on me ! Always loved The Who !!
Love this guy!
Roger is a class act. He is aging gracefully and not trying to look 22 like some rock stars. I am surprised it took me 60 years to get into The Who music. ROCK ON ROGER DALTREY- (Mr Kibblewhite was dead wrong)... RH DSD
When does the powers that be in this country of ours going to give Roger and Pete a knighthood for the great things they have done for years and years for charity and not just their Teenage Cancer Trust but others as well they deserve a lot of praise and credit for their humanity care.
I cannot believe how Daltrey’s voice never got weak, never wore out, and I have no idea why it didn’t, unless he had an incredible vocal mechanism naturally….after all of that screaming over Entwistle’s roaring bass, it boggles the mind! Robert Plant had such an amazing voice, too, but he didn’t know what he was doing and blew his vocal cords in the 70s, his voice never recovered, and the same thing actually happens to young opera singers, or those who try a heavier role than their voice can support. Having studied classical vocal production, I know this happens, and I’m just in AWE of Daltry’s voice!
Great life, nice man !
Thanks for amazing interview!
Sacré personnage ! une légende du Rock et un humaniste accompli ....Merci Mr Daltrey , et Pete aussi ! God bless you .
Pete was the scientist. Roger the coolness.
Love Him..
Always with the crucifix. Roger is the man.
The Who greatest live band
Roger is so incredible what a voice. I love his work and that Roger funds Cancer centers. One of the best frontmen in rock.
I would do anything to meet Roger or Pete
Strato Caster I feel the same.
I got to meet Roger a few years ago...got my pic with him, signed an album, signed a tour poster for me. Was very kind and gracious.
All you need is money and they will meet you
I’ve met Roger twice! He’s an absolute sweetheart. Very kind, warm, friendly and down to earth.
I would love to meet Roger and Pete, too. Roger has said that "Behind Blue Eyes" is his favorite Who song, and I 'd like to tell him how much that song meant to me, because I was the guy in that song when I was in school - treated like an outcast. When I heard and comprehended the lyrics to "Behind Blue Eyes" years ago (the 70s and 80s), I thought, wow, Daltrey and Townsend understand me! What I didn't understand about myself at the time was that I have ASD, which explains a lot of my interpersonal problems then.
He looks great!
God Bless Rodger and Pete for Helping Children with Cancer. You Guys are great, I've always wanted to build a Children's Hospital.
Thumbs up if you like the sound of SIR ROGER DALTREY
He's good looking. Great music by The Who. He doesn't come across as phoney or arrogant either.
The gig in Nottingham,in a small boat club on the banks of the river trent will always be with me!
Wish they all got along better -- especially Pete and Roger. Both are great guys in their own right.
will forever be a Who fan!!! 🤘
Thanks you, indeed, Mr. Kibblewhite -- for giving the world Roger Daltry!
Roger and Keith are both admirable fellows later in life. Families must be very proud.
Keith died at age 32
@@lindaslattery8341 Thanks I meant Pete.
god blesse you roger
I was born in '72 and become a lover of Classic Rock and a short time later, Glam Rock. The Who was my first love and every time I hear Baba O'reilly it is just like the first. As great as Led Zep, the Stones and Floyd were The Who is the best in my opinion.Its tough, but his time on earth is coming to a close, as are many classic rockers. Even my Jersey Boy Bruce is in the latter years. Its a damn shame that the industry has not seen as good of artists as those in the late 60s and 70s. The past 25 years for the music industry have been an absolute abortion.
A international icon of Rock and I've got Roger's book I've read it, and a great addition to the book on Keith Moon
75 years old !!!!
It all started, the charity, with the WHO, when Pete sent Keith to do an interview. Keith thought he might get laid. The woman, I forget her name, had opened one of the, if the the, first battered womans shelter in the UK. Keith had hit his own wife when he though she was unfaithful. When Keith got back, Pete said he was crying, saying we have to help.
Grateful to see them in concert a few months ago. Not sure they will ever tour again, pandemic and all.
Marc Maron [WTF podcast], did a very good recent interview with Roger.
Love it!
God love them for this! I had no idea!
Hey roger ... seeing you 68 im münster germany towns and pete ... my generation ... f...good ... thank you.
They all really just played backup to the lead drummer. Keith Moon.
You should go deaf for that lame comment.
Ha, it didn't start with me. They really did get a lot of their energy from Moon. I may have overstated it but he really did make the difference. @@brainsareus
He certainly made the volume go up!!
brainsareus I love The Who with Moonie..he made the band
7:22 sweetly sincere,
i remember seeing this yesterday on tv
great book
Thank yourself
I so wish we knew then what we had to learn the hard way. A young man who would go to his car and sleep during his shift. He had been so tired since his teens but just thought of as a growing young kid. Leukemia took this young man before his 21st birthday. I have been diligent with my sons' physicals and just held my 17yr old son's hand once again for that blood draw. It's so easy to think something as horrible as Childhood Cancers can't happen in your family until it does.
The Beatles were lucky they never played a double-bill with The Who. Would've been completely blown off the stage.
Rolling Ormond Took The Rolling Stones 30 years to release Rock and Roll Circus after they did.
I love the Beatles but yeah the Who would wipe the floor with the Mop Tops
Which era of each band? The Hamburg-era Beatles were leather-clad preludan-fueled punks with a wild stage show. The stadium-era Beatles were already losing interest in live performance and focusing more and more on pushing the boundaries of songwriting and using the studio to create more sophisticated recordings that couldn't be reproduced live.
@@gregoryeatroff8608 doesn't matter which era band. The Who destroy them easily.
Irony with a Capital I! Daltry has sung over untold thousands of times, the words, "Hope I die before I get old !" Too late now, Rog. But he's a fine bloke all the same.
Nice.....⚡❗
Would still bang. Not gonna lie.
Absolutely
hejiranyc same
Thanks, indeed, Mr. Kibblewhite (now, if that isn't a name that belongs in the Harry Potter universe, I dunno what does!)!
In all the times I'd seen the TV series "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," I was never aware that the theme song "Who Are You" was written by Pete Townshend
You're just too young. :^)
Be succesfull and make money, so in that position It easier help people who never had the same oportunities.
Just "Tommy"
What is the intro song?
2:38 is that Clapton?
I "heard" from someplace that Daltry was a boxer for a bit. Any truth to that ?
He was raised in a tough section of London. You had to be tough to survive, so Roger did what most kids would do, took up boxing and learned how to drop a bully with a right hook. 👊
Would anyone care to tell me what song they’re performing at 2:44?
i gotta dance to keep from crying by the high numbers
he did a song about his eugenics temper.
Bet the principal is sorry he ever said that to Roger now.
Tony Bennet?
Sorry I waited your time!
I forgot about Keith Moon's death. Good interview. Must be something about a rocker's life!
Check him out on The Last Detective. He plays the.....(spoiler).
