So glad we decided to check out another one of their tracks! What’s the next The Who song we gotta check out?! Give us a BANGER and upvote the ones you agree with! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻
Andy & Alex really nice video guys, keep up the good work!! Since you like 70s progressive rock, you should listen to Rush: Cinderella Man 1977, and Best I Can 1975.
Who are You?, My Generation, I Can See for Miles, Eminence Front, Behind Blue Eyes, and I'm Free from "Tommy." Thanks for showing up guys, I was feeling bummed. :)
They have so many great songs...Behind Blue Eyes, I Can See For Miles, Sqeezebox, one of my favs is a corny song sang by the bass player called Boris the Spider.
This is hands down one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The message is straightforward but profound and is encompassed in the last line. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The song is an anthem and a message to the ordinary man.
That was probably the closest I'll ever come to getting to experience this song again for the first time. Watching you guys totally feel the breakdown there, the drum fills and then Daltry's yell was amazing. Thanks for that.
My all time favourite.... I think. Or maybe, Love Reign O'er Me, or maybe The Song is Over. ... and .... maybe Live at Leeds Amazing Journey/Sparks, the 10 degree temperature drop at the beginning of Sparks.
Lost in all of this organized chaos is a sensational bass line by John Entwistle. Always remarkable to listen to a cut in which all four superstars are at the top of their game.
Scott. They are talking about music. The lyrics have to do with exactly what they are saying. Much of the 60’s and 70’s music was about standing up for the weak or oppressed people against powerful governments. They referenced revolution AND Meet The New Boss Same As The Old Boss. People are still being oppressed AND killed. By governments including ours So yes they are talking about the music. There was a reason they chose those words and they wanted us to listen AND think about it. They were just skillful enough to put it to GREAT music at the same time. But don’t let that distract you from the message.
As do I. It's kind of validating for oldies, such as myself, to see two young guys, with musical chops, getting their rocks off with a near 40 year old masterpiece like this.
@@colinswain9740 Yeah, they remind me of myself when I was their age. The Who were my favourite band and I was fortunate enough to see them live 4 times in the 80s. I was also into Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. We were lucky to be around when those geniuses were in their prime.
@@robthornton6288 After seeing The Who four times, you have to be suffering from a form of industrial deafness, as they were touted to be the "loudest band on Earth"!! And it was a time for great musical acts. In Australia, there was a massive "pub band" culture, which spawned some great bands. AC/DC is probably the best example. What a time to be alive!
@@colinswain9740 Pardon? 😊 Yes they were loud, fortunately I wasn't too near the speakers, but you could actually feel the sound, especially when John Entwistle was really doing his stuff on the bass guitar. There is one clip on here of him doing an amazing bass solo on 5:15. Well worth a watch.
For my money, they were one of the top ten rock bands of all time and this, along with My Generation (Live at Leeds album is the best version), are the anthems of my youth and signify the angst of youth, especially for those of us coming of age in the late '60s and early '70s. The Who, and especially Pete Townsend's inner personality and Keith Moon's craziness, hold a special place in my heart. Although I didn't see them, they actually played as the warm up band for The Buckingham's AT MY HIGH SCHOOL in Nov. of 1967! Just google "Shawnee Mission South" and "The Who" to see the pictures and read the story.....
If you want to hear the best bassist in Rock history at the top of his game, listen to "The Real Me." Entwistle and Moon were one of the best rhythm sections ever put together.
It is incredible to see young people who truly appreciate music, hear the greatest Rock -N- Roll scream ever fucking recorded for the very first time. "Who's Next" came out in 1971 and has left me in a state of "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!" ever since. I'm happy to witness a younger generation appreciate it to the same extent. You guys are terrific... I return often to see how you perceive the music of my youth. You bring me back there more often than not and I cannot thank you enough for doing so.
I know you guys love to hear that deep album cut that really is there most kick ass song and for The Who that song would be THE REAL ME off of Quadrophenia!
A&A - This was perfection! Was bangin' my head w/ you two. When the organ/synth breakdown came, I was just waiting for that Scream to get ya! haha. I know there will be plenty of discussion, so won't go on... Great job & beyond happy you loved this. "It was sooo good"... No doubt (lol). Happy day to you! :) Oh! Yes Alex - Keith Moon is a frickin Animal on the drums...Need to witness!
@@Reani71 I heard that as well, but no confirmation. And, agree... Every characteristic of 'Animal' does fit Moon. Hmm. I'm curious now! haha Let me know if you find out... I'll do same, ya? :)
@@lisaw5604 I actually googled it some minutes ago and there's no evidence for it... it's just a legend that persisted throughout the years... other sources claim that Mick Fleetwood or John Bonham were role models for Animal (fantastic drummers as well), yet again: nothing was said about it by the makers. But legends and rumors always contain some truth, otherwise people wouldn't come up with it and I even thought of Keith Moon when I watched Animal before I heard about that. So, whoever invented this muppet must have been a great student of rock music in general and drumming in particular and I'm also sure that he was a big fan of Keith as well.
@@Reani71 I'm diving in at moment. True. Myths and rumors do tend to pan out over time. I did find that there's a possible 4th drummer... Steve Mitchell, a fabulous well-known sessions drummer (did 12 Charlie Brown specials, etc). He was a friend of Jim Henson's and named as "one" of the inspirations? So, Animal may be an amalgamation of them all. Fun to think about, though! Thanks, Reani -- Have a great day! :)
Damn, I never realized how incredibly good these classic, old songs are. I took them for granted most of my life. This is brilliant. Keith Moon's drums had me from the start.
@@eugenehootie7194 I remember paying $10.00 to see Queen in Boston in 1980. I was a bit turned off by having to pay a 25-cent "convenience fee". But then I was almost outraged when I had to pay $12.50 in 1982 to see The Who and The Clash on the same bill at Shea Stadium!!! Ahhhhh.............the good ol' days. BTW, I don't even remember how this happened, but I was 17 years old in 1982 but I had no problem buying beers at Shea Stadium that day. I didn't have a fake ID or anything. I think I still had braces on my teeth!
Went to see the Stones at the University of Alabama in 1972. My friends and I thought the ticket price was outrageous. $6.50 !!! But we justified paying that much because, after all, it was the Rolling Stones.
I’m so glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, hearing great music every day, great live concerts you guys will never see, nice to see you discovering it and hopefully appreciating it, nice guys
Love watching your reactions to some of the best music written. The 1960s and 70s were magic for music. Watch the Who performing this live unbelievable
The ultimate Who reaction would be to their performance of A Quick One at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Gotta react to the video, not just the audio. One of the greatest live performances ever.
For my money "Bargain" is one of the best Who songs out there. If you want to go deep in the weeds, listen to "My Wife" - one of the few great Entwistle songs recorded with the full band.
In my humble opinion {who's next} is one of the best and most important albums ever made. I Can see for Miles and Miles also should be a great listener.
This LP is from Townshend's 2nd Rock opera entitled "Lifehouse" which is a dystopian story/concept album regarding people in the future being "force fed" artificial memories. One dude named "Brick" escapes and sets out to change things for the better. This was written in 1970-71, right after the story of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind boy Rock opera called "Tommy". In "Lifehouse" Pete was writing about society using " The Grid" (which we now know as the internet) way before the internet and The Matrix. 'WHOS NEXT' was what they decided to release instead of a HUGE double album. Lifehouse had at least 20 tracks that Pete wrote for it. #TheWho #WHO #RogerDaltrey #PeteTownshend #KeithMoon #JohnEntwistle
So unnecessary. Your luck of birth timing does not mean you are superior. YOU didn't write the music, you were just around when it came out. That makes you fortunate not above the younger generation and clearly, you aren't listening to young artists that are out playing live, original music. In Atlanta, we have an incredible music scene and the young artists are fantastic. And I was born in 1960. So I was also one of the lucky ones
@@DumbIdeaPresentedStupidly lol. Yeah we had some suck sounds especially Top 40 in the 70's. That's why album oriented / prog rock stations took off on the FM dial. We had the greatest stuff and boy did we have some shite. I try to stay up to date but I don't remember the new bands names. I still love prog and will search for current prog. I know great music is still being made - just not stations giving it air play.
For me, it has to be Who Are You. Much like this song was the theme for CSI: Miami, Who Are You was the theme for the original CSI and was introduced to a whole new generation as a result. Speaking of generations, My Generation is probably their most well known track I would have said.
I was just waiting, waiting and waiting for the final scream. . . to see you guy's faces. . . THE greatest scream in rock and roll of all time! that scream alone made this the absolute greatest rock song of all time~~
Best way I can describe their sound is you listen with anticipation because you have no idea what the next note will be....what instrument, or vocal, pitch or length......but it always fits
So privileged to have seen The Who live. Seeing them perform this song was so spectacular. Rogers scream and seeing Pete sliding across the stage are still vivid in my memory.
Great reaction! A legendary and very talented band. Moon is indeed considered by many the best drummer in rock. A fun argument to have :) He is teamed with one of the best bass players in rock, John Entwistle. The band also has an awesome song and music writer (and who is an equally talented musician) in Pete Townsend and a vocalist in Roger Daltrey who can hit anything out of the park with his voice. Before you die, and it doesn't need to be a reaction here, you should listen to the entire "Quadrophenia" album from beginning to end. It's their best rock opera, in my opinion.
One of the best live bands in their prime! This is one of the ultimate songs that defines real Rock and Roll! I love the reaction comment "that drummer"! Perfect line.
My older brother took me to my first concert in 1979, it was The Who at MSG and I was in 6th grade. Your reaction to this song reminded me of how blown away I was by this song. They have been my favorite band ever since. Watching your reactions brought me back to that time. Great job!!
I revisit this video quite often. It's exciting to see your reactions to a song I've heard 3000 times but it feels more exciting than the last listen every time. The disbelief and joy in your faces is so satisfying. I suppose it's largely your reaction validating my opinion....but it's still a joy. For me it's the greatest RNR song of all time. Please do The Who's Young Man Blues from Live at Leeds! (Not Isle of Wight! Leeds!)
Oh good lord... Alice Cooper gave me nightmares! I loved his music, but after I saw him on TV (tame stuff, right?)... Still, nightmare & waking up mom. Lol!
Yeah 70s Aerosmith is amazing especially that Rocks album, songs like combination and back in the saddle and yeah nobody's fault and sick as a dog, rats in the cellar, last child, etc
A great scream, but not the first one, by a long shot. It’s a good saying, but the generation was already woke by then. The Beatles’ White Album (1968) had some good screaming (see “Helter Skelter”, for one). Just for instance.
"The scream that woke a generation"? I don't think so. Unless it meant woke them up to go out and become mindless consumers. THAT I can agree with. By the way I'm 64 and was a teenager when this was released.
Unfortunately the generation may have waken up but they fell back to sleep. It’s really sad that a lot of people from this generation are the same ones that have totally screwed up our country and are a part of exactly what they were fighting against
The screams in the song are iconic in Rock history. But also they are a part of the messaging in the song. The sound of defiance and triumph in revolutions and wars. But in the end it is futile because because of the delusions about revolutions and wars. Human nature in the end doesn't change, so nothing ever really changes for the most part. Hence the last lyrics: "Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss".
Basically, it is saying the left and the right are essentially the same. The end said it perfectly, after the revolution .. "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
Don’t get me wrong but, I love a lot of bands for lots of reasons. The Who are my epitome of all bands. Vocals, lyrics, guitar and the amazing locomotive players (Moon and Entwistle) that give this band my highest praise. Well done boys! 😎
Best primal scream in rock for my money. That .......right ......there! I left my last WHO concert completely exhausted, and I believe my ears were bleeding a little........
John Entwistle, The Ox, Thunderfingers.. The best darn bassist in rock ever..."The Real Me" and "5:15" off of Quadrophenia for more of his amazing bass.. The Who are what I call the majestic rock band.. 4 guys all playing lead, sounding like a band of 12.. big, swooping, grand music..
ALL TIME BEST REACTION to this song right here: I saw this two years ago, and I occasionally come back to watch it again just to recharge my batteries....
I’m impressed u didn’t mention CSI! Listen to Tommy beginning to end. React to the Overture. Then Lester n see movie for Quadrophenia. React to A quick One fm Rock n Roll Circus. I can see for Miles (Smother’s Brothers)
May I suggest, when you have time, the "My Generation medley" from Live At Leeds. The Who at possibly their rawest. Also: 5:15 and/or Had Enough (both from Quadrophenia)
Won't get fooled again is THE quintessential song of rock. In it you have everything that a great song could need: great vocals, great lyrics, great music, and with a great production. This is one of those songs that any band wishes they could've written. 53 years old as of this writing, and the lyrics are timeless. Could've been written yesterday. Lyrics We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again A change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again, no, no I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half-alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do you? Yeah There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again, no, no Yeah Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
The Who were always way better live. If you want to find out, react to "Young Man Blues" from their 1970 Live at Leeds album. It will blow your socks off! Hard, Fast and Tight!
Top Gun Maverick’s first big exciting scene the young guns try to kill Maverick in dog fight exercises - HIGH OCTANE - the music…this song. The scene absolutely cooks and ROCKS. You know the movie editors went through dozens, if not hundreds of the most massive rock songs and chose this one above all others.
Keep coming back to this reaction, as someone who grew up with The Who , i just love this reacton.........like me and friends in a bedroom with the old vinyl on and hearing this , just blew our minds, ty guys..........bring back that feeling
When I was a kid, I would focus mostly on the drums in this song, of course, but listening now there are so many interesting fills that Townshend throws in there throughout, there's a lot more to his playing than windmilling power chords.
Like watching babies discover the joy of walking. Who woulda known? A legendary band made great music before I was even born? Thank goodness for you or the world would never have known. Glad you approve. Your eyes-closed nodding really says it all, probably never heard original music performed by actual musicians playing instruments and singing in their own voices before.
So glad we decided to check out another one of their tracks! What’s the next The Who song we gotta check out?! Give us a BANGER and upvote the ones you agree with! Cheers friends! 🔥🤟🏻
Love Reign O'er Me -- Essential. :)

Andy & Alex really nice video guys, keep up the good work!! Since you like 70s progressive rock, you should listen to Rush: Cinderella Man 1977, and Best I Can 1975.

My Generation is a great Who song
Yes, in the version Live at Leeds
Probably their most famous song. There was a tv programme on last week all about that song and how it defined a generation
Chris Davies what was the programme called?
For my money, they were one of the top ten rock bands of all time and this, along with My Generation (Live at Leeds album is the best version), are the anthems of my youth and signify the angst of youth, especially for those of us coming of age in the late '60s and early '70s.

"Pinball Wizard," and "Man Behind Blue Eyes" are also very good.
I love watching you guys. It makes me feel like I'm back 45 years listening to it for the first time.
Roger Daltrey's primal scream, at the end, is one of rock's most iconic moments - glad you discovered it, peace.
Also his version of "Wheels on the bus " is epic :P
No doubt.
It's also the in the intro to CSI Miami
The drum solo right in front of it (I think Moon's only drum solo with the Who) has been called "the most thrilling 18 seconds in rock."
For me that last scream of Daltrey's is the 'money shot' of rock music. It's all been "cuddling and afterglow" ever since.
John Entwistle. a legendary bass player in rock and every wee guy wanted to play drums like the maniacal Keith Moon.
The best rhythm section in rock ever imo
personally my favorite drummer is Neil Peart but keith is definitely a close second
i remember, and you are correct sir.
video Keith Moon was a favorite of Neil's
Everyone should check out Entwistle isolated on UA-cam. Best ever imo.
One of the best drum songs, one of the best rock and roll screams, great lyrics, great song!!!
I remember taking family vacations and hearing "I can see for miles and miles from the Who. My old man even liked it!
"The Real Me" If you dig bass, this is a must listen.
The Quadrophenia soundtrack is just full of incredible songs.
YESSSS! That bass line goes off!
The bass on this song is epic, just epic - true banger in every sense.
Bass...and drums...and guitar...and awesome vocals. All incredible. Definitely give this a listen.
Love, Reign on Me
The look of joy you had when you discovered THAT scream - perfection.
"The Real Me" is a fantastic track to check out. Great bass lines. Entwistle and Moon are on Fiyyyyaaaa!
Yes! Truly a banger! I love Moon's drums on it.
John Entwistle puts on a goddam clinic with his bass on that one
If you want to hear the best bassist in Rock history at the top of his game, listen to "The Real Me." Entwistle and Moon were one of the best rhythm sections ever put together.
Most drummers sync with the bass players for their groove. Moon synced with Daltry which made him so unique.
In the argument for greatest rock song of all time.
I'll take it over Stairway every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
To me, this is the single greatest rock song of all time. Better than Stairway. Better than Layla.
It is the greatest rock song of all time....so, let's start a discussion....
Comfortably numb?
absolutely! One of about fifteen or twenty songs that could reasonably considered as such.
The other big single on this album is "Behind Blues Eyes" ..a masterpiece
It is incredible to see young people who truly appreciate music, hear the greatest Rock -N- Roll scream ever fucking recorded for the very first time. "Who's Next" came out in 1971 and has left me in a state of "WE'RE NOT WORTHY!" ever since. I'm happy to witness a younger generation appreciate it to the same extent.
You guys are terrific... I return often to see how you perceive the music of my youth. You bring me back there more often than not and I cannot thank you enough for doing so.

His was a good one but honestly, I feel like Whole Lotta Love with Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) was a more iconic scream 😱

Hmm. Lol. This is why a lot of young people are leaving your generation’s great music behind. The pretentious attitude. Stay humble.
Unfortunately, we’ve been fooled over and over again.
I think thats the meaning behind the song.
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
I wasn't fooling by Trump, but I'm just one guy.
Behind Blue Eyes is the “Wish you were Here” of The Who. It’s a worthy next pick.

In my humble opinion {who's next} is one of the best and most important albums ever made. I Can see for Miles and Miles also should be a great listener.
That primeval scream at the end_ the drums_ the guitar and bass. The synth _ Absolutely awesome. Best rock track of the last 50 years
This LP is from Townshend's 2nd Rock opera entitled "Lifehouse" which is a dystopian story/concept album regarding people in the future being "force fed" artificial memories.
One dude named "Brick" escapes and sets out to change things for the better.
This was written in 1970-71, right after the story of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind boy Rock opera called "Tommy". In "Lifehouse" Pete was writing about society using " The Grid" (which we now know as the internet) way before the internet and The Matrix. 'WHOS NEXT' was what they decided to release instead of a HUGE double album. Lifehouse had at least 20 tracks that Pete wrote for it.

Now you know why us boomers think today's music really sucks.
Yep, Boomers had the best music!!!!
I'm Gen X and I tuned out of new music in the late 80s. I was about 10 and retreated into record stores to find the good stuff.
So unnecessary. Your luck of birth timing does not mean you are superior. YOU didn't write the music, you were just around when it came out. That makes you fortunate not above the younger generation and clearly, you aren't listening to young artists that are out playing live, original music. In Atlanta, we have an incredible music scene and the young artists are fantastic. And I was born in 1960. So I was also one of the lucky ones
shut the fuck up boomer, you people made afternoon delight and disco duck a hit
@@DumbIdeaPresentedStupidly lol. Yeah we had some suck sounds especially Top 40 in the 70's. That's why album oriented / prog rock stations took off on the FM dial. We had the greatest stuff and boy did we have some shite. I try to stay up to date but I don't remember the new bands names. I still love prog and will search for current prog. I know great music is still being made - just not stations giving it air play.
For me, it has to be Who Are You. Much like this song was the theme for CSI: Miami, Who Are You was the theme for the original CSI and was introduced to a whole new generation as a result. Speaking of generations, My Generation is probably their most well known track I would have said.
I was just waiting, waiting and waiting for the final scream. . . to see you guy's faces. . . THE greatest scream in rock and roll of all time! that scream alone made this the absolute greatest rock song of all time~~
GOTTA watch the live version,in concert, just for fun and to see the true brilliance and perfection of this band - what a treat!!!!!!!,🥰💕
Definitely definitely react to Who are you!! And definitely Do Led Zeppelin's Nobody's fault but mine, the drums will blow you away
The song is a master piece of music by a brilliant band
Best way I can describe their sound is you listen with anticipation because you have no idea what the next note will be....what instrument, or vocal, pitch or length......but it always fits
"Who are you" for sure
One CSI theme deserves another.
So privileged to have seen The Who live. Seeing them perform this song was so spectacular. Rogers scream and seeing Pete sliding across the stage are still vivid in my memory.
“I’ll get on my knees and PRAY we don’t get fooled again”
50 years ago this month I saw the Who at the Oval Cricket Ground play this. Three months after it was released. Awesome.❤️
Great reaction! A legendary and very talented band. Moon is indeed considered by many the best drummer in rock. A fun argument to have :) He is teamed with one of the best bass players in rock, John Entwistle. The band also has an awesome song and music writer (and who is an equally talented musician) in Pete Townsend and a vocalist in Roger Daltrey who can hit anything out of the park with his voice. Before you die, and it doesn't need to be a reaction here, you should listen to the entire "Quadrophenia" album from beginning to end. It's their best rock opera, in my opinion.
They are the perfect age for it.
Agree, superior to the already great "Tommy" in my book...
Your comment is right on 100%.
I always begin Friday's with Andy & Alex's reaction to "Won't Get Fooled Again". Rock and Roll
@johnnyjga
Helllllll ye man!! 🔥🤟🏻
Check out The Real Me. A classic from Quadrophenia. Some of the best Bass work ever.
One of the best live bands in their prime! This is one of the ultimate songs that defines real Rock and Roll! I love the reaction comment "that drummer"! Perfect line.
My older brother took me to my first concert in 1979, it was The Who at MSG and I was in 6th grade. Your reaction to this song reminded me of how blown away I was by this song. They have been my favorite band ever since. Watching your reactions brought me back to that time. Great job!!
I revisit this video quite often. It's exciting to see your reactions to a song I've heard 3000 times but it feels more exciting than the last listen every time. The disbelief and joy in your faces is so satisfying. I suppose it's largely your reaction validating my opinion....but it's still a joy. For me it's the greatest RNR song of all time.
Please do The Who's Young Man Blues from Live at Leeds! (Not Isle of Wight! Leeds!)
"Welcome to my nightmare" by "Alice Cooper" should be a must before Halloween..... Followed right behind by the next song "devil's food" ☮️
YES!!! Or do "The Back Widow" by Alice Cooper for Halloween!!!!
@@dianekatz8174 they could do the whole album. Steven is a creepy tune also. Plus the sick song cold Ethyl...... ☮️
Oh good lord... Alice Cooper gave me nightmares! I loved his music, but after I saw him on TV (tame stuff, right?)... Still, nightmare & waking up mom. Lol!
@@lisaw5604 lol. I'm listening to it right now. He wrote some excellent music though. ☮️
@@lisaw5604 was that one of the times when he was on the Muppets? Lol. ☮️
I know many guys who played the drums and every one of them say this is their favorite song to play!!!. Definitely a rock masterpiece
Check out the early Aerosmith catalog for us, they were gritty in the 70’s. Nobody’s Fault is a great one to start with.
Yeah 70s Aerosmith is amazing especially that Rocks album, songs like combination and back in the saddle and yeah nobody's fault and sick as a dog, rats in the cellar, last child, etc
Zep Ron It would be great to see a deep dive on the first five.
I get chills every time Roger Daltry screams YEAHHH.... The entire album is fantastic: "Who's Next."
The bassist kept the songs together so Moon and Townsend and Daltry could show off :)
After John passed, Pete said that he had to double his guitar licks to fill in the holes from John's bass absence.
John Thunderfingers Entwhistle
The Ox.
Watch videos lsolated bass of John entwistle on won’t get fooled again and baba o Riley blow your mind
He's song writing is pure from the heart. And has never been matched
"The scream that woke a generation." It's so funny to see the reactions that kids must have had when this came on the radio the first time.
A great scream, but not the first one, by a long shot. It’s a good saying, but the generation was already woke by then. The Beatles’ White Album (1968) had some good screaming (see “Helter Skelter”, for one). Just for instance.
I reacted like these two.
"The scream that woke a generation"? I don't think so. Unless it meant woke them up to go out and become mindless consumers. THAT I can agree with.
By the way I'm 64 and was a teenager when this was released.
Unfortunately the generation may have waken up but they fell back to sleep. It’s really sad that a lot of people from this generation are the same ones that have totally screwed up our country and are a part of exactly what they were fighting against
By then it didn’t phase us.
Excellent...I started laughing out loud before the second scream because I knew what was coming and what it was going to do to you...
when you have a band with the best drummer, the best Bass player, and the best vocalist, and a great songwriter guitarist, you get The Who!!
Love seeing you react to a classic.
Pete ripped off a few thumbnails playing this little ditty over the years! Good to see you guys were feeling it✌️✌️
The screams in the song are iconic in Rock history. But also they are a part of the messaging in the song. The sound of defiance and triumph in revolutions and wars. But in the end it is futile because because of the delusions about revolutions and wars. Human nature in the end doesn't change, so nothing ever really changes for the most part. Hence the last lyrics: "Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss".
Basically, it is saying the left and the right are essentially the same. The end said it perfectly, after the revolution .. "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
A corner stone of prog rock. A condensed version of Animal Farm. And it rocked. Pete's a monster.
Wish I could hear it for the first time again, luckies.
It's just as good to see someone else listening for the first time. It takes me back to where and when. That's the genius of this channel...
Don’t get me wrong but, I love a lot of bands for lots of reasons. The Who are my epitome of all bands. Vocals, lyrics, guitar and the amazing locomotive players (Moon and Entwistle) that give this band my highest praise. Well done boys! 😎
Best primal scream in rock for my money. That .......right ......there! I left my last WHO concert completely exhausted, and I believe my ears were bleeding a little........
John Entwistle, The Ox, Thunderfingers.. The best darn bassist in rock ever..."The Real Me" and "5:15" off of Quadrophenia for more of his amazing bass.. The Who are what I call the majestic rock band.. 4 guys all playing lead, sounding like a band of 12.. big, swooping, grand music..
ALL TIME BEST REACTION to this song right here: I saw this two years ago, and I occasionally come back to watch it again just to recharge my batteries....
This is truly one of the best Who albums ever!!!
Best thing ever was seeing them do this live at Charlton football stadium in 1974 just Blow's your mind away once heard never forgotten cheers
Love the reactions guys. May I suggest "The Real Me" and "Love, Reign O'er Me" both from the Quadrophenia album.,
Check out “Young Man Blues” from the Isle of Wight show. They’re at the top of their live game.
Definitely "Who Are You" and "Join Together".
Entwisle and Moon....the best ever rhythm section...awesome bass lines
You need to check out the song " Trick of the Light"
"Let me fill in this fill with a regular drum beat"
Lmao great description of Keith Moon, or even John Bonham at that
I’m impressed u didn’t mention CSI!
Listen to Tommy beginning to end. React to the Overture. Then Lester n see movie for Quadrophenia.
React to A quick One fm Rock n Roll Circus.
I can see for Miles (Smother’s Brothers)
May I suggest, when you have time, the "My Generation medley" from Live At Leeds. The Who at possibly their rawest.
Also: 5:15 and/or Had Enough (both from Quadrophenia)
I was going to suggest that too. My generation, see me feel me, sparks.
Sparks from Live at Leeds
Wow. Wow. Wow. What else can you say about this iconic, iconic song.❤
Keep coming back for "the scream" reaction.
Won't get fooled again is THE quintessential song of rock. In it you have everything that a great song could need: great vocals, great lyrics, great music, and with a great production. This is one of those songs that any band wishes they could've written. 53 years old as of this writing, and the lyrics are timeless. Could've been written yesterday.
Lyrics
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
A change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, no, no
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
Yeah
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again, no, no
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
The Who were always way better live. If you want to find out, react to "Young Man Blues" from their 1970 Live at Leeds album. It will blow your socks off! Hard, Fast and Tight!
I second that.
Top Gun Maverick’s first big exciting scene the young guns try to kill Maverick in dog fight exercises - HIGH OCTANE - the music…this song. The scene absolutely cooks and ROCKS.
You know the movie editors went through dozens, if not hundreds of the most massive rock songs and chose this one above all others.
You guys have no idea how happy you made me with your reaction at the pinnacle.
Keep coming back to this reaction, as someone who grew up with The Who , i just love this reacton.........like me and friends in a bedroom with the old vinyl on and hearing this , just blew our minds, ty guys..........bring back that feeling
When I was a kid, I would focus mostly on the drums in this song, of course, but listening now there are so many interesting fills that Townshend throws in there throughout, there's a lot more to his playing than windmilling power chords.
A Who song I like is "Join Together". Maybe check that one out.
This(and so much more) is what I grew up with. Pretty cool song to listen to in high school. I’m lucky.
This was one of the first albums I ever bought and thought it was a greatest hits album.
"Can't Explain".. vintage Who. Rustic production, awesome energy.
Like watching babies discover the joy of walking. Who woulda known? A legendary band made great music before I was even born? Thank goodness for you or the world would never have known. Glad you approve. Your eyes-closed nodding really says it all, probably never heard original music performed by actual musicians playing instruments and singing in their own voices before.
