FREE KEITH MOON: THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE PDF Ian Snowball | 208 pages | 13 Jun 2016 | OMNIBUS PRESS | 9781785581489 | English | London, United Kingdom A Tribute To Keith Moon (There Is No Substitute) by Ian Snowball The legend is often well known for outselling the truth. There are other times when the legend is the truth, but obscures another story — and Keith Moon belongs in that category. And to think he was originally going to play the bugle. When Moon was recruited by the fledgling Who in after passing an audition in a pub, no one would pretend that they knew how the dangerous, essential chemistry would develop between four of the most cohesive Keith Moon: There is No Substitute rock music would ever see. Staying dead disgracefully, more likely. He was there through eight albums and around 35 singles, unforgettable to the last beat. The entertainment from that man… the humour. I mean, looking at the audience is what the singer does, he never sees the band. But I can imagine he must have taken the piss out of me something terrible! The mind boggles. Moony could do light and shade just as easily as he could be the most exhilarating powerhouse any band ever had. Entwistle once remarked that Moon played not from side to side, but forwards. Townshend later revealed that A-list jazz drummers such as Buddy Rich and Tony Williams were also fans. He was the so-called mod who loved surf music and daft humour. It was suitably chaotic. Pete has got his writing, John has got his writing and producing, and Roger has got his farm. My interest is into filming and videoing. For all of the sense of a life cut short, he did that as no one else ever could. I saw keith moon twice with the Who in at the Seattle Coliseum when I was fourteen. My first and second rock concerts concerts. My cousin had a knack for finding out where The Who stayed at many of the concerts we attended. He became an acquaintance with Daltry. When staying in Toronto we ran into Moonie in the Hotel elevator. Invited him up to our room. Bouncing off beds and could hardly sit still. It was a fast entrance. Stayed for about 10 minutes and left just as quick. Your email address will not be published.

Keith Moon - The Who Who called him that? Remember, for example, that he was placed at No. Moon in the studio was exciting; Moon on stage was exhilarating. The first single release by The Who under that name was already more than a decade old when they played it at the Summit in Houston, Texas, on November 20, It was something very peculiar that none of us played the same way as other people, but somehow, our styles fitted together. The kit is smaller, the eyes a little wider, the antics more measured, but this is the essence of Moon aged, probably, His fills at the end of each verse are, as so often, like vocals of their own. To the introductory sounds of the sea and seagulls, The Who launch into another great moment from Quadrophenia. It was captured in front of an invited audience Keith Moon: There is No Substitute included lucky members of Pretenders, Sex Pistols and others, with Moon as magnetic as ever. The back-and-forth between Moon and Daltrey in particular, as the vocalist pauses for dramatic effect and the drummer cues him back in, is one of the most brilliant call-and-response effects in rock. Keith was Keith Moon: There is No Substitute along more to the vocal, but as well as playing for the song, he was playing for himself, too, and I really liked that. For the timekeeping duties, Moon again makes frequent use of his bass drum, playing eighth-notes of varying volumes while hammering snare notes and brief Keith Moon: There is No Substitute fills on top of them. The band covered the Mose Allison song in their early days, but it became a staple of their set in the late 60s. He had so many drums — two hi- hats, two kick drums, six or eight tom-toms — it was challenging just to get in there to get the snare drum covered. But of course. Looking for more? Discover the life and legacy Keith Moon: There is No Substitute Keith Moon. His best recorded performances were the early singles although everything he recorded except the last album was unique and brilliant. Extremely disappointed there is no mention of Dogs Pt. He even wrote the song! Greatest drum performance ever. In my humble view the finest example of live guitar, bass and drums ever and much of it improvised. Simply astonishing and massively better than anything done by any of their contempories. My Wife. An Entwhistle composition, is one of my favorite Moon drummings.

    MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward Demonstrates a Tune on Piano

    MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward demonstrates a tune on piano] [Brian Ward]: So around this time in rock and roll we really start to see a lot of fragmentation going on, and that’s reflected in this course. The way we have this designed is so that we can go in different directions with the music, and that’s what the music did all sort of at the same time. One of the directions is what we now call art rock and also progressive rock. Now art rock and progressive rock are terms that are used loosely. A good way to describe it is art rock is rock and roll that is influenced by classical music while progressive rock is more influenced by jazz, so- but you have different elements in varying degrees of influence and in different ways. A good illustration of that is one of the first bands that I want to talk about is The Who. Now The Who were definitely a straight down the line rock and roll band, and they started like a lot of these other British bands: imitating the blues and rhythm and blues music from the United States, but The Who were very unique. They had probably the most four individualized members of any band of all time. All four members of the band, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, were all very, very different people coming from different backgrounds, and that reflected in their music, and they used that to their advantage quite a bit. But with The Who I think rock star first becoming an art form in the sense that they had longer forms and they used many structures that eventually became mini-operas and they eventually made a rock opera called “Tommy.” Now when they started out they were more on the cutting edge of hard rock.

    "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)

    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.

    The Working-Class and Post-War Britain in Pete Townshend's

    Class, Youth, and Dirty Jobs: the working-class and post-war Britain in Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia This chapter examines Pete Townshend’s Quadrophenia (1973) and the way in which it depicts continuity and change in the lives of the British working-class in the period that the album documents (1964/5), the political milieu in which it was written (1972/3), and the legacy of the concept that was depicted in the screen version directed by Franc Roddam (1978/9).1 Quadrophenia was recorded and released in a fraught period of industrial militancy in Britain that had not been witnessed since the general strike of 1926.2 The album can be ‘read’ as both a social history of an element of youth culture in the mid-1960s, but also a reflection on contemporary anxieties relating to youth, class, race, and national identity in the period 1972/3.3 Similarly, the cinematic version of Quadrophenia was conceived and directed in 1978/9 in the months prior to and after Margaret Thatcher was swept to power, ushering in a long period of Conservative politics that economically, socially, and culturally reshaped British society.4 Quadrophenia is a significant historical source for ‘reading’ these pivotal years and providing a sense of how musicians and writers were both reflecting and dramatizing a sense of ‘crisis’, ‘continuity’, and ‘change’ in working-class Britain.5 Along with the novels and films of the English ‘new wave’ and contemporary sociological examinations of working-class communities and youth culture, Quadrophenia represents a classic slice of ‘social realism’, social history, and political commentary.

    Petra Haden in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i2.7en Who Sells Out?: Petra Haden in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Marianne Tatom Letts Independent scholar [email protected] Abstract In 2005, Petra Haden released her version of The Who Sell Out, notable for the meticulousness and creativity with which she mimicked the various instruments on the album, and for the fact that she produced the project with an eight-track recorder and only her own voice. This article examines the ways in which Haden’s interpretation of the classic album elevates it into the realm of “high art” while retaining its status as a commodity within the realm of popular music. Although the Who’s original recording (1967) was one of the first concept albums, its unification comes not through a storyline or characters, as with other albums of that era, but through the foregrounding of its existence as a commodity. Radio jingles for both real and fake products are interspersed among the genuine commodities of pop songs, and the cover art features the Who in fake advertisements. Haden includes the jingles and even the cover artwork in her interpretation, but the changes she makes through generating every sound with her voice provide a level of unification that the original album does not possess. Haden’s live reinterpretation (with her band the Sellouts) casts doubt on what constitutes the “authentic” version of the album, since the current lineup of the Who (two surviving members and various supporting musicians) no longer performs the material.
