I do not think people realize what a great songwriter Townshend is. Most of The Who's material was written by him and he has done very good solo work. Next to Hendrix, there was no better showman with a guitar. Would have loved to see them live. A true rock legend.
Why do these TV shows continue to ask him about the child porn incident. Did he not prove this point? That Credit Card companies will allow payment to these awful sites yet not be accountable? Do we have to ask him the same fucking question?
A great album : Rough Mix - with the great Ronnie Lane. Pete Townsend - you gave us Tommy, Miles and Miles, Quadraphenia , Who's Next, By Numbers, Live at Leeds, Etc., Etc. The Who's records are in the DNA of a generation. Thank you
I met Pete in Los Angeles just a freak incident where he was on Sunset ,..and i slowly approached him and he was like "What?:",..I told him "You are THE Golden God of Rock !!" And he was like piss off have a brandy ,..
tz Bckn no he’s not. He was tracking the credit card companies who PAIDthe pedophiles. He has no images on ANY computers. Do you know the work he has done with women who were abused/addicts? Probably not, because he did it with no fanfare.
According to Roger Daltry's book, Townsend started smashing his guitar out of frustration one night, when by accident, he poked the neck through a low ceiling while jumping around.
He admitted rather than becoming media fodder by going to Court he would be placed on the Sex Offenders Register. This may well have saved him his sanity but I suspect will also prevent him ever being knighted. A shame really for like the Beatles (Sir Paul, Sir Ringo), Stones (Sir Mick) and Kinks (Sir Ray) the Who helped forge youth culture in the UK in the 60s and have contributed tremendously to music and the taxman ever since.
Yes spent 5 years on the British sex offenders register had to give a blood sample ( DNA) which is held indefinitely also had to visit his local police station on a weekly basis, to account for his whereabouts for that week, I think the British establishment and trying to get away from honouring people like that mind you Savile was knighted
Mitchthemysteryman - No. I am closer to his age than yours, and not burdened with male-pattern baldness as he is, and I(and he,as well, probably) miss my glorious long hair, which was always a huge pain to care for. Many men today go with the chrome dome look, and it doesn't always look that good.
Love Pete ! We all became huge Who fans in high school in the late 70s ! Saw them in Atlanta summer of 1980 and they were amazing ! A three piece horn section brought to life all the songs from Quadrophenia(an album that literally saved my life !) Sister Disco was fantastic with those horns ! My one regret is I never saw Moonie on the drums, but Kenny Jones did a great job that night in 1980. The Who will always be the absolute best rock band that ever lived !(....to me anyways !) Long live The Who !!!
I love Pete Townshend soo much - it is in fact solely responsible for the world being able to continue to turn upon it's axis. So the earth has an awful lot to thank myself and Mr Townshend for !! You may do this by giving me thick wads of hard cash ( please). Hey ho and bfn. Peace. Rx
Well aren't you all some brilliant heads here ....pathetic ones there were NO evidence what so ever but still you all judge him from what the tabloids tell you...gesss
Kjeld Larsen okay.......if you are of high moral fibre and have a devout in God, you will answer this question 100% honestly in the eyes of the lord.........Hand in heart, would you let this man look after any child you know for the evening?
"Who's next" is still one of the greatest rock albums ever made. I never cared for Pete smashing guitars though. Or for that matter anyone. I play, and I don't see any reason for destroying something capable of bringing someone such joy.
TheAgeOfAnalog its good he still plays if they stop at their age their fingers may just stay stiff! Jimmy needs to get a band an play!!!! He isnt gonna get the zep gig he dreams of but so what, i wanna see my heroes more than ever.....TICK TOCK
Yes, Pete. We typically are miserable. Because we know the tremendous responsibility it is to be people like us. We understand what it takes to get our point across. We are gifted. Is the world ready for us?
no .. he took money from the US military to promote them as a career for young people - during the vietnam war where children were raped or lined up in ditches and shot or they had napalm dropped on them.. but - none the less - he was a damn good guitarist..
@@saucyvinnie3812 "You're just making shit up now dude." there is bootleg going around of "My Generation" including both the officially released album and the tracks originally recorded and intended to go on it but then dropped.. as well as Keith Moon voicing an american ad for "Quick Shakes" - "A Milk Shake so thick that it stands up to a straw".. And Pete Townshend himself - voicing an ad for USAF pointing out how they are "taking people to the moon" but saying nothing about napalming children..
One of the greatest bands of all time. They couldn't make bands like that anymore if they tried! Love the Who!! Thanks for the music! Shoplifted all your albums!! Love you guys!!👽
OH ,," I don't remember , but , I have searched thru my mind with the help , of medical professionals , I am a victim. !!" I think he is a fantastic musician ,,,
most of those guitars were crap. he smashed them then glued them back together and smashed them again. The only one that was a good guitar was the first one he smashed , and that was an accident really, a low ceiling and a weak joint on the head stock and then just smashing it to make it look like he meant to do that. It's all in the book, which is worth reading in my opinion
In the 60's and 70's the guitars weren't collectable or really worth much. You might cringe today, but truth is most of those played like shit. 1 out of 10 maybe were good, the rest were dogs. It's his money, his guitars eh, who cares. It made it a great show at the end to see him smash his SG or a Strat etc. It's part of what makes The Who legendary.
@@tatethompson1234- Back when vintage guitars were selling for five figures and up, I read an article that said, a lot of those guitars that were in mint condition were never played because they were unplayable. They looked like new because they were put back in the case and packed away with all the other junk people tend to collect
"it is not art if it does not disturb" it would be tragic if he was to smash a completely unique guitar - but i think that we can assume that every guitar of one model are essentially the same..
The trolls that say unpleasant things about Pete all have two things in common. 1. They use an assumed name because they know what they are doing is wrong. 2. They have never read the book.
Boy ,they sure wanted to go after Pete and nail him to the cross,,,,Im glad he stuck to his guns and made it thru,,,,and YES ,he had a miserable childhood but ya got to give him props for what he accomplished with the lads against AMAZING ODDS,,,
Can't help but think of the precursor of Pete's experience in his solo album "Psychoderelict." What he said was true about credit cards. I did see where a Sherriff In Chicago sent letters to various credit card companies about how they were profiting from human trafficking by allowing them to be used on websites such as "Backpages" that was finally shutdown by the owners.
He's my musical brother and I understand him through spiritual love connection coming out of his heart for all to enjoy life as it comes out of the blue clear skies and into the ocean of love uncondittional presented for his listeners as an act of love for 4YOU TODAY Roy van Zadel I SEE A MAN WHOM IS REAL, DO NOT JUDGE HIM BECAUSE YOU HEARD IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE OR VIEW OUTSIDE BUT CONTRIBUTE TO HIS MUSIC AND YOURS
He shows a lot of aplomb. In answer to her stupid q. "How did you survive the drugs and alcohol" (lazy general ignorant q) he wittily answers "I didnt do it properly".
Been a fan of the who for a long time , seen them a few times but the thing that really spoils everything for me is what Townsend said at the last concert , that we the audience were lucky he was there and that touring is not his bag and it took a lot of effort and persuasion to do the last tour! Go back to your millions in your mansion then , the mansion your fans built .
Pete over the years had a bit of a habit of opening his mouth before engaging his brain. He's a legend, I love him, at the end of the day he was human and made mistakes which makes me love him (and The Who) even more.
@@frank290862 thank you very much for that, I'm not sagging Pete, I've been a fan for years and years but to say that at the end of a concert is commercial suicide, thanks for your understanding
He said he wouldn't go to court yet he registered as a sex offender. I'm an attorney and I'm shocked that the incompetent interviewer here didn't ask the obvious next question....what was the final diposition of the charges? Were the charges ultimately dismissed? Acquitted after some eventual proceeding? Once criminal charges are filed if you fail to show up for a court date without an excuse(you were in the hospital) the court issued a bench warrant and the warrant squad goes out apprehend you and involuntarily bring you back. Furthermore kn NYS a person is not required to register under SORA unless he or she has been CONVICTED of an underlying sex .offense....something doesn't make sense here. Does anyone have the answers?
He has no such thing. He was cleared of any offence. My now retired neighbour was part of the police heading the 4 month unbelievably thorough investigation and said Townshend had never even entered the site (as was proved). He made the transaction and immediately cancelled it, to back up proof Credit card companies were complicit with funding such sites. Please educate yourself.
@@valleyboylegend4202 I just rewatched the interview he states that he registered as a sex offender . he is never asked what the ultimate disposition of the charges was. If he was ultimately cleared that's great but as an attorney I feel based upon this interview things are ambiguous. I promise you I will follow up with my own independent research and if appropriate I will delete my comment I stand by what I wrote in my previous text.
@@valleyboylegend4202 He still viewed illegal material, he admits that himself during his police interview Why!, I don't know, particularly if, as he claims, he is disgusted by it.
Great interview. However at 1:48 things appear to go off the rails as the finger heads for the nostril, the camera quickly cuts over the shoulder and the interviewer pauses briefly mid sentence in disbelief 😬
Didn't Pete once say when he was a mid thirties year old guy that he was a "desperate old fart but not boring tho" I do wonder now how Pete would refer to himself these days in his life?
Savannah this has to be the worst interview you have ever given.. deeply disturbing, disgusting with no limits! You should be ashamed of yourself! What a disgraceful interview! So many negative things to ask him!
So! You(me, the reader)'re afraid of dying. (You need a female for a hiding place.) Because you just know that if anyone knows you any better than you . . . that "anyone" would be God. So! Why is that her problem? So! Why is that? "Because you didn't do it properly."
As a guitar player all I want to say to him (On busting his guitar up) is.. Dude? WTFAYD!!! This is not cool. And not art. Its just abuse of a beautiful instrument. Its like beating up a dog that you love. Fucking nonsense. Love him as a musician but the destroy instruments thing? Fuck off. Smash up a Les Paul? Insane.
ottowes - i was overall greatly disappointed. some great bits - but like clapton's biography (but far less) his book is an unironic inventory list of his wealth, didn't you find? i truly don't think he cares that much about riches, i think it's some weird protective mechanism.
Pete Townshend è a pieno diritto uno dei più grandi compositori di sempre anche oltre la musica rock. La qualità della sua musica tra la fine degli anni 60 e l'inizio dei 70 ha raggiunto livelli elevatissimi. Who's next, Tommy e Quadrophenia sono opere immortali.
So in his spare time he investigates credit card companies involvement with the dark web? That is totally totally believable. That sounds like something most narcissistic rock stars do 🤔
What Townsend did was express through his music the pain of adolescence better than anyone ever.
Yes! Captures the angst!
Especially in Quadrophenia. Few people have captured the euphoria and desolation of late teenage life better.
Interesting book by Pete. Glad that he is still with us, since half of The Who is now gone.
On the "Tommy" album just listen to his guitar solo in the overture. Magnificent.
I do not think people realize what a great songwriter Townshend is. Most of The Who's material was written by him and he has done very good solo work. Next to Hendrix, there was no better showman with a guitar. Would have loved to see them live. A true rock legend.
5:23 - Sounds like Keith Moon speaking. Love it.
He should've used Odorono!
Lol, yes it's big enough to cover his entire body.
Brilliant
Yeah, and if he ever gets tired of being a rock star he can always be the man who looks after the pigs.
What's that?
@@pauljordan4452 Check out the WHO Sell Out album. Cover photo + song Odorono. Arguably their best album 1967.
Nice guy. I met him backstage at a concert and he was the only one of the band that talked to me. I was just a dopey 19 year old at the time.
Why do these TV shows continue to ask him about the child porn incident. Did he not prove this point? That Credit Card companies will allow payment to these awful sites yet not be accountable? Do we have to ask him the same fucking question?
Why does he bow to pressure and answers journalists?...however, remember WHO he is. Very damaging allegations at the time.
A great album : Rough Mix - with the great Ronnie Lane. Pete Townsend - you gave us Tommy, Miles and Miles, Quadraphenia , Who's Next, By Numbers, Live at Leeds, Etc., Etc. The Who's records are in the DNA of a generation. Thank you
What an amazing artist! Also, a great singer....
I was the one in D.C. that yelled out "I LOVE YOU, PETE".
Cos I just do!
I wondered who that was and now, finally,I know !
Rebecca Kleitz I always feel compelled to do that too. Can't seem to help myself!
I love you, Rebecca!
Your more then likely to old for him Pete likes them under 8 years old
What an amazing artist is one Pete Townshend! Thank you for your terrific songs and performances sir!
Nauseating interviewer. Goes straight for the most sensational aspects. No subtlety; no appreciation for the man she is sitting across from.
Fucking genius. "Who's next" album is a complete masterpiece.
So is "Who Are You". Seven years later.
I met Pete at his uncles Pub back in the late 1980's.. he was quiet... miserable?.. If so.. he hid it very well... Nice bloke...
He wasn't a "young man" in the late 1980s- he was well into middle age.
I met Pete in Los Angeles just a freak incident where he was on Sunset ,..and i slowly approached him and he was like "What?:",..I told him "You are THE Golden God of Rock !!" And he was like piss off have a brandy ,..

I suspect Pete wouldn't want to be knighted anyway. He's anti establishment in a way the others you mentioned just aren't.
Fuck a knighthood. Why would you want one from these cretinous, spongers?
Yes spent 5 years on the British sex offenders register had to give a blood sample ( DNA) which is held indefinitely also had to visit his local police station on a weekly basis, to account for his whereabouts for that week, I think the British establishment and trying to get away from honouring people like that mind you Savile was knighted
Is it just me or does Pete Townsend seem much better looking nearly bald?
Mitchthemysteryman - No. I am closer to his age than yours, and not burdened with male-pattern baldness as he is, and I(and he,as well, probably) miss my glorious long hair, which was always a huge pain to care for. Many men today go with the chrome dome look, and it doesn't always look that good.

God i adore this guy. Does anyone know when this interview was recorded?
In America somewhere. The book came out 3 years ago now!?!?!?! So ?!?!!!? It makes it 2015. I've a copy here, very self-centred ...
The book was released early October 2012. This video was published 8th October 2012, so at a guess, first week of October 2012.
It has to have been 2012, as he said he was 67 at the time and he was born in 1945.
Townshend is clean.
You always contradict yourself?
In some cases, yes. But not in this. PETE IS THE MOST HONEST GUY ON EARTH!
