- In 1964 the British Invasion saw The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Who take the world by storm with their loud and harsh rock N roll sounds. The Who were arguably the loudest of their generation, and at their core was a formidable drummer with superhuman strength Keith Moon, Moon's energy was a force to be reckoned with, but so were his destructive and self destructive tendencies. The Who were deeply inspired by the Mod subculture, as their 1964 single Zoot Suit, I'm The Face clearly shows. Unfortunately this didn't just mean scooters, edgy bangs and tailor made suits. It also meant constant alcohol and amphetamine use in Moon's case, this soon became an uncontrollable addiction that led to several conflicts within the band, and eventually to his downfall. But Moon the Loon was an exploding time bomb long before he joined The Who, and his life was ridden with tragic moments that announced an even darker fate. Keith John Moon was born in northwest London on August 1946, When he joined The Who in 1964, as per The Who's official website he was 18 years old and the youngest band member. But this wasn't enough for Moon, who already had a penchant for sensationalism. According to Tony Fletcher in Dear Boy The Life of Keith Moon, he declared himself one year younger, telling the band and the press that his birth year was 1947. Unfortunately seeing how easily the lie passed as a fact, Moon took this as an incentive to construct his whole rock N roll persona on a collection of lies. Moon continuously promoted his eccentric clown drummer image through exaggerated or simply false stories about his life, The Who frontman Roger Daltrey said of Moon, Keith lived his entire life as a fantasy, He was the funniest man I've ever known, but he was also the saddest. Indeed, for at least his whole adult life, it seemed like Moon was trying to hide his real self, doing all he could to be the most eccentric person in the room, His fake birthdate only goes to show his desperation for creating an alter ego.

#keithmoon #thewho #drummer
It's amazing that he wasn't fired from the band for the times he passed out on stage. Most bands would never tolerate that.
Pete loved Keith....
🥁There will never be a drummer like Keith Moon!🥁
A lot of people compare Keith to Bonham. No, that doesn't work with me. Although Bonham was a great drummer, He didn't fit The Beloved Zeppelin as well as well as Keith did The Who. Sure, both of them never really took great care of themselves, but still think Moon fit The Who better...
Best drummer in the world. !!!
🤣😅😂😭🤣😀😉😀🤣
His wife Kim was gorgeous
Was what "for the lack of a better word"?
I think Small Man Disease was his problem. He craved attention.
Keith Moon was a great drummer and a terrible human being. You can be great at one thing and terrible at another. In fact, it's a trait most people at the top of their game have in common. How did John Lennon put it, to make it in the music business you had to be a bastard. The thing, is, it didn't have to be that way. Just like Jimi Hendrix didn't have to die. I admire their work but I don't feel sorry for them. If anything, wasted talent is something to bemoan but a wasted life is just flat out sinful.
I guess we all battle with the demons at some point. It's a miracle I'm still alive. Maybe I look at these young people who threw their lives away the way I do because I know first-hand what a selfish behavior addiction is. It's tragic, no doubt, but more so for the people they hurt along the way. But that's just me. I still love the music he created. For me he will always be the best drummer. That's what makes the way he threw it all away that much more of just a flat out selfish waste.
Like Ginger Baker.
You can say or think whatever you want about Keith Moon? But, he could be the greatest rock drummer ever. He was constant motion. The who could never have been the who without him. Like a lot of artistically gifted people, he had numerous demons. Unfortunately the demons take over sometimes. But make no mistake about it, an absolutely sensational drummer. But unfortunately guys like him burn themselves out rather quickly!
Did him and John Bonham go around the same time, 1978?
Bonham was 1980. Similar ages though.
@@NewFalconerRecords Both were 32 years old at their time of passing.
@apexjoe4769 And both looked 52 before they died.
@@NewFalconerRecords True.The fast life will age you quicker.
Bonzo...1980
John Bonham was the best rock drummer ever. Deep Purple's Ian Paice comes second..
