I always had such an admiration for people like Roger Daltrey, a man is so kind, incredibly pleasant and soft-hearted. Wish we had more people like Roger in this world.
The man with the strongest rock voice of all time, i have big respect for him.
Long live Daltrey, long live The WHO
The who
Yeah., his voice can bench press 300 pound
Roger Daltrey is the greatest Rock And Roll Vocalist of all time!
The world's greatest rock frontman. A good, hardworking, disciplined guy who just keeps doing what he loves and gives it his all. Always an inspiring interview. Just wish this one had been longer!
How incredible that Roger genuinely believes that Pete has the potential to write the best work of his life just ahead of him. I agree. Pete is one of our greatest musical geniuses. I hope inspiration comes to him and blesses us with more of his music.
It's interesting how so many British rock musicians, many of whom never finished grammar school, are so articulate, well spoken and simply intelligent. Roger Daltrey is no exception.
Roger looks good for his age.
nice wig and plastic surgery.
Roger Daltry, a true rocknroll superstar, with the greatest stage presence ever..and he is just a down to earth guy like you and I !!..
OMG,he is still drop dead gorgeous......
In my humble opinion The Who is the first real pure straightforward ROCK band.
I think I'm going to borrow this sentence.
In a world of Biebers , Perries,Swifts and crappers...err rappers, Roger and the boys stand out a million miles ahead of the garbage of today.
Along with his incredible vocal with his growls and screams, Roger comes across as a genuine regular guy. That's admirable.
the who music will always be there for all the future generations cause they are the greatest band in the universe !! my 4 year old grandson loves the who I introduced him to their music as as a newborn ☺😀💜❤
Such a down-to-earth fella......
One word - Legend! The Who are in a league of their own
I remember seeing Roger sing at some concert, his voice was failing badly. But, what did he do??. He closed his eyes, sweat pouring down his face & gave it everything he had. Always inspires me👌
He always said he prefers "a bum note and a bead of sweat any day!"
Roger Daltrey new autobiography is AMAZING. Listen to it on your Kindle! He speaks in his voice! He is such a nice man plus extremely smart
Just got the book...he is effing brilliant...who knew? And the best person, just gorgeous, inside and out...and FUNNY as hell. WHO FANS: READ ROGER'S BOOK!
He speaks in his voice?
@@v-town1980 He writes like he speaks, is what is meant here....you can "hear" his voice as you read!
The audio book is a real treat... 😉
@@v-town1980 He narrates the book himself, yes himself.
I like how the interviewer shuts up when Roger happens to keep talking. This is a good interviewer. A lot of dumb ass interviewers talk over their guests.
Roger is the man.
Kev G. one of my pet peeves...especially hosts who do have much time...and sometimes without commercials
That's true, and then Roger tells them to "Shut the fu
Absolutely love Roger, soft spoken and humble, the interviewer on the other hand,Mic turned up higher,and he is sitting up higher.. bad move man..
Sir, you are so humble at heart. Stay healthy and have a long life.
Roger's got a very old Nokia phone, lol! Bless him, he and the Who are the kings of retro and they remain cool as ever. Saw them in Glasgow way back in 2000 and they were phenomenal.
Dad introduced me to The Police, and Grandpa (may he rest in peace) introduced me to The Who. Such luck that I have amazing musical background on my family :D
He is a really good honest man with a very impressive work ethic. Life on the road is not glamorous, just millions of hours travelling for a brief moment of glory. Shit scared with anxiety & seeing others around you dissolve under under a ton of drugs.
Still humble and a class act. It was Roger’s band after all ... ; )
Aww, roger looks great! I'll always be a fan, no matter how old he is :) love him!
...and he's still got a spectacular singing voice!
***** yes he does! That's why I'm seeing him on Monday, July 28th in Philadelphia :)
Yeah He's aged really well. him and pete were amazing, and im talking only 2 years ago.
I just love Roger. I was so worried about not ever seeing him live again, but I was wrong. Usually as people get older, the artist is liked less, or their music just fades away. NOT WITH THE WHO. They have been such an inspiration to me along with my music career. Their music will forever live in my hearts.
It is a privilege to age
We had an amplifier guy...lmao....so down to earth. Roger is beyond special...thanks for the video
Roger Daltrey in interview after interview comes off as a really down to earth dude, almost like you could talk to him yourself. So many of these guys come off as jerks...or at least a lot less affable.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Roger last year and he is the sweetest, warmest guy you can imagine. He's very down-to-earth.
+Helen Bryant you met him?! Lucky!
+greypeppermoose oh I know - ridiculously lucky! He really is absolutely lovely - kind, empathetic and warm. He hugged me! Unforgettable.
And again, a year or so later... Still lovely and he remembered me! We had a good chat.
You really CAN talk to anybody in my experience. Anybody you can't talk to is probably an arsehole.
Deeply moving ! For all Roger fans - check also DALTREY IN BUCHAREST hommage.
Anybody else notice the Nokia? I love him💕
What an extraordinary man !
hard to believe this gentle-speaking person can belt out the WHO!!!
The Who were unique.
Thank you.
Roger Daltrey is THE greatest voice in Rock n Roll history. PERIOD. He still sounds great. On a side note. This is one of the best interviews I've seen with him. Not just because you're getting insight from Roger but also the guy that's interviewing him. I don't know if anyone really notices but the guy doing the interview lets Roger speak. It's about Roger, The WHO and whatever he's talking about. Not the interviewee. I've worked in television for quite some time and you always see reporters or on air talent make the interview more about them and not the guest. They constantly walk all over their guests when their speaking only to get the next question out. This is a conversation and we're listening in to Roger. Not the guy doing the interview. Very good. Less is more and he knows how to do an interview. More DJ's, reporters and talk show hosts should take a lesson from this guy. Well done interview. I'll definitely look for more of his interviews.
Robert Plant is the greatest voice hands down.
justincullen7 Nope.
JoshDone "Nope" really doesn't cut it without some type of a reason or explanation to back it up.
Betty Pendegrast thats your opinion
justincullen7 Now, Robert Plant's voice would be trashed..... But Roger Daltrey, Despite pushing 70, he still sounds like he was in the 70s, minus the yell in Won't Get Fooled Again......
So glad I got to see them in 82. Killer band
Yes the young audience. My son and son in law are coming to the tour and I went to Green day with them.Both great live acts. The Who are timeless.
What an honest, awesomely cool guy.
We don't know when you're too old to rock. These guys and their ilk started it all. They'll let us know when its time to quit. Until then, I look forward to November when I'll see The Who again.
I love him so much
'Won't get fooled again' features the
-most famous wail in British rock'n'roll
-that features a tall geezer with a big-
-nose on lead guitar 🎸 a bassist who
-simply just stood there & strummed
-away and a manic drummer who was
-known to put explosives in his kit.Then
-this blonde,blue-eyed singer screamed
-'meet the new boss,same as the old bos
-s'then a crashing,thunderous sound that
-reminds you that the who are simply one
-of the greatest bands in rock music.
LONG LIVE ROCK,LONG LIVE THE WHO !
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸👍👍👍
Was a who fan since 1964 . Be well
Roger Daltry narrates his autobiography book himself, yes himself. Awesome.
I always loved him!
Waylon Jennings, john cash and Roger, all married to a good women for 30 years plus! It shows strength of character and humility. Roger is soooo talented, sounds as good as ever
....what if they've cheated on their wives countless times? Does that still show 'strength of character and humility'?
I can't speak for the other two but Roger has done that countless times.
His smile reminds me of Hugh Grant's smile but he also looks similar to Michael Crawford now.
It is such a shame when all the interviewer can hear is their next question.
I love this !
He went from Tarzan to Grandma through the years, bless him. Excellent voice, differrent from the norm yet totally quintessential
I was born during the Kennedy and Eisenhower years circa November 1958 thus I consider myself an old soul translates I was born in the wrong era and feel an affinity with the older generation I went from the television milton berle generation back to the radio generation with the swing bands Tommy Dorsey In the Mood all the sexy double entendre sings. I get a kick out if you, All or Nothing at All, More than you know. Radio remains a powerful medium to parlay and exchange ideas and hone improvisation. Cheers.
I am going to see them in concert on April 29th!!! Oh yeah I can't wait!!!!
great interview thanks
14 minutes 9 secs, a 6 yr old nokia, top man
I have tickets for their show in Pittsburg in October. My first time seeing them live and I' really looking forward to see the Legends on stage.
Gorgeous. !! I like that about Roger Daltrey - his groove and passion IS his and not mimicked, love it :D
an interviewer that doesent do all the talking,i still admire roger,going to see him on the 13th
Long live rock!
When I was 13 in 1963 I was listening to The Who when nobody knew who they were Easthampton mass
you are cool, no doubt about it. I'm in Mass. also .I was 7 back then.
He’s always a great interview ! He is so cool !
I love the who. Without him......I shudder to think. This song called "Relay" and him Bellingham out that ending,"Relayyyy" his voice with Pete's lyrics, telling ya, I am blessed to know/heard/lived many of his songs.
I was lucky enough to see them in Santa Barbara for 51 and get a few beers in me for the pain and woe in me out and get up much closer to the stage than where my ticket was assigned ( I wasn't going to take being way in the back, forget the jumbo tron!! They played every Who song I could remember? Pete tells us some good stories! Didn't even need John or Keith to keep it INCREDIBLE! Thank you!! Their secret to success Roger is a leprechaun hahahah, that laugh !
to me the who don´t sound like the best group in the world...they sound like the only!!!! looking pretty much forward to the 18th of december, o2-arena, london, england! 50 years o´ maximum r&b
Bloody good interview!
What a balanced and fair-minded man Roger is. Integrity, honesty and generosity throughout. Always speaking respectfully and praisingly of the other Who members and their efforts. Contrast this with Pete Townshend interviews - always bitching and complaining about Keith or Roger. He may be brilliant, but Pete's lucky to have their loyalty when he doesn't return it.
I don't disagree about your thoughts pertaining to Roger, but I think you've inaccurately characterized Pete. Pete is a towering genius, and his view of the world, his art, his craft, and his work, will necessarily be more critical. I've heard many many interviews in which Pete praises, supports, and expresses great affection for Roger. I think it's great to see how close and affectionate is the way that Roger and Pete now relate to each other.
But with that genius comes arrogance. He gave many interviews stating that he thought Keith wasn't a very good drummer and all that was needed was a drummer like Kenney Jones. But that didn't work out when it happened. I have also heard him make very disrespectful remarks about Roger. You clearly idolise Pete, but get the blinkers off your eyes, genius he may be but intolerant and condescending he also is.
Not remotely do I idolize Pete, nor am I blinkered. It's true that I do think very highly of him.
In fact, I don't disagree with your words describing Townshend: intolerant, arrogant, and condescending. And yes I've heard Pete disparage Moon as a drummer. But in response, I state that during their heydays 60s-70s the group dynamics ran on friction and anger in a way that functionally served the groups musical output and performance. Although anger lubricated the group member's interactions and relations, it also proved to be a spectacularly productive interdependency.
Entwistle and Moon were somewhat removed from the dynamics as they waded through their own issues. Townshend repeatedly heaps praise upon Entwistle for his support and collaboration. But from the many many Daltry interviews I've watched, it's clear that he and Townshend - by necessity - needed to work in a close, collaborative, and interdependent relationship to produce the music the Who did: close and collaborative because Townshend knew he needed Daltry's voice to animate the music and because Daltry clearly knew that Townshend was turning out spectacular work.
Also, (and I'm somewhat speculating here), despite his grousing, Pete knew that there was no way Kenny Jones (excellent drummer though he is) could have replaced Moon and still end up with Tommy, Who's Next, Quadrophenia, or any other works released during this time. I believe that the basis for Pete's principal gripe about Moon is that Moon was essentially using the drums as a lead instrument (somewhat similar to the way Entwistle used the bass to produce leading riffs in place of a lead guitar), thereby relegating Pete (in his own opinion) into a place where he had to keep rhythm on the guitar. In any other situation I'd wager that Townshend would have been an excellent lead guitarist, but in the Who, he felt that musically, he had to play rhythm in light of how Moon and Entwistle were using their instruments.
I haven't heard an interview where Pete would admit disgruntledness at having been thwarted as a lead guitarist (and I would surely like to hear his response to this theory), but I would argue that regardless of background animosities between group members, this group dynamic was spectacularly effective at energizing the music we now know.
And here's the kicker: remove Townshend from the group, and what do you have left?
+Jangle2007 Thank you for your well-structured, moderated reply. It's good to see good manners, intelligence and breeding in a place I so seldom expect to find it. You're right in just about everything you say, too, except I would probably go one stage further and ask where the group would have been without any one of them. Noel Gallagher summed up the dynamics of the Who very succinctly when he said that it was composed of four people who all played lead. You've already mentioned three of them: John playing lead Bass; Keith playing lead drums and Roger singing lead vocals. Noel Gallagher reckoned Pete played lead guitar as well as rhythm guitar, meaning he also was playing lead. It was an exceptional line-up of musicians, with as you say a good helping of internecine strife and group dynamics to help it along. Best wishes to you
Apologies for change of username above. It wouldn't post under Blues fan for some reason.
How many jobs have you had?....The Who and The Stones have had ONE for 50 years!...Can't wait for new album and tour in 2019.
Nice one, cheers
Hands down the greatest british RnR band of all time🎶
Think about the life Roger Daltrey has led. My son and I saw Roger open for Eric Clapton a few years ago. We hope the Who touring takes them back to the American South.
great performance in Nottm tonight Daltrey sounded great
I love these. If only I could see some of these things in person. Love it. Ly me
Maranatha!
Someone was skipping all the cocaine.... he’s aged well
I like how Roger gives the credit to the other members of the band where due .
A lot of front men try to steel the light for themselves . Especially since Roger was a fantastic front man ,He had it all, the look , voice , style and really was the face of a generation . People had character in those days and to stand out the way he did over all those characters was really something.
I always remember thinking he was just so cool . Something I can't say about anybody these days. The whole band made the It great but I don't think it would have been such a success without Roger . On top of all that he is a nice guy and humble about his role not just in the band but as the most important front man of the most important era of music in history.
Sadly for young people today he is under rated and I don't think they realize just how huge his impact was on the world .
Out of my brain 🧠 on the 5.15, here it comes, whoo who🛵😉🛵🛵🛵🛵🛵
I noticed the Microsoft Windows product placement shot! I went out and bought it!
what a great band the who was in the early 60's 70's until about the time Moon died Bet not many know It was Rodgers band and he was the lead guitar player that Pete and John joined Rodgers Band...
Roger, you idiot.
Like witty repartee light hearted skits self deprecation and laughter is a panacea Everyone looks wonderful spiritual affirmation to age gracefully . Cheers.
In their fist album was in mono they did really have stereo they had a delayed signal to make it sound srereo . Be well
Great interview except I'm constantly turning down the volume when the host speaks... he's at least three times louder than Roger
Loooooooooooove....... Reign o’er me!
... Waayyy better than led Zeppelin!!!
I can't wait to see The Who in Anaheim, CA!!!!
Betty Pendegrast
By your logic is McDonalds the "Best" food in the world?
McDonald's inc. have more restaurants and sell more burgers than anyone else. I am explaining why your argument of Zeppelin having more concert and album sales makes them "Better" than the Who.
Betty Pendegrast In today's world, Zep, would be awful, cos, they don't have Bonham, The Who proved, they could evolve, even after Keith passed..... Back in late 60s early 70's...... Led Zepp couldn't even come close to The Who...... Yeah, they sold more records, but again, in music form..... The Who were breaking through the space time continuum....... They still are now, despite Pete and Roger pushing 70.....
Ninox111 you sit on a throne of lies
1969- 1971 best band in the world
Definitely best live band.
For me the who passed away when keith passed on. Really died again when john passed. Rock is dead they say. Chicago
~ Keith put it on life support and John pulled the plug.
Pete has said some snarky things about Roger sometimes but Roger always sings Pete's praises.
I love him, but Pete's a grumpy old sod.
today in recent I have read an article of doltrey stating that rock is dead and rap and pop is all that matters now, to all the people oh still love rock in 2017 keep fucking rocking, to roger doltrey, rock may be dead but legands never die, just like the who and all the rest of the greatest 70's rock bands. and for the people who enjot your rap crap listen to some rock and try to realize what real music is......
Now, Children! Stop squabbling. Music is not Sport! Sport is for the masses, competition and all that bollocks. Music is ART. To be appreciated for what it is. Not judged one against the other. On a personal level Roger, Robert, Steve Marriott, Gillan etc etc were the Giants but there was the delivery of Dylan, the lyricism of Donovan, the nasal cynicism of Lennon. Where is the standard? It is a moveable feast! Love
We love the who... Mods

Never mentioned Moon?
~ Did he have to?
1:24 - Roger .... music, a lot MORE painless than boxing, I hope anyway?
That initial question about 50 yrs is just a stupid question. What is the alternative of not being 50 yrs?

Welcome to citation needed this episode brought to you by Roger daltreys beef and broccoli, warning not safe for human consumption
Who are you?
Brian died the Stones were weakened, the Zeppelin took over until Bonzos death.
i wish they could all write abput today's times vs. earlier in 60's, but now using their experiences from when they were young as opposed to what young people go through now. It's as if you are to work for something now there is no meaning attached to it. Nor is there really any means to do it do it in the first place. Before there was a point to some of the madness. Now its its sheer madness, and no resolve. Lots of angry, jealous, competitive, religious but not spiritual, walking around hald dead hot town summer in the city types, and the machine is producing bottomfeeders. We are evolving into a new age with lots of expanding technology and the one half maybe less can keep off the other half are either clueless or want to know but are desperately broke. Either way it will be interesting to see what develops. I'm not pessimistic, but if its anything like the last twenty-five year's I'm not sure I want to be inhabiting the earth at that point.
Never really liked their music much, which is weird cause I like most music from that era.
Roger is dropping some truth bombs but the interviewer is too scheduled to follow any of them, shame.
what an annoying interviewer.with my generation was it in this year,that year?? get the facts right first.
terrible interviewer.
oh noooo, he's so lost, he thinks young people watch CSI and not just view memes on the internet.
